Unruly

[The Ex's Regret]

Runaway little princess x stubborn new elite

1. At night, Liang Yun was held in his arms. She wanted to get a straight answer for herself. “You keep me by your side because you love me, or because I'm obedient and sensible?”

His voice was low, right by her ear. A faint, inscrutable smile played on his lips as he looked her over. “Obedient? When I told you to open your mouth while we were kissing just now, why did you bite me?”

Liang Yun: “...” That wasn't what she was asking about!

To Liang Yun, Shen Lanting was love at first sight, and also a case of falling for his looks. She went to considerable lengths to win him over. At first, she thought she could have him first and then slowly win his heart. It took until the third year of their marriage for her to admit defeat. This man really had no heart.

2. Everyone in Kyoto's upper circles knew Shen Lanting as a cold, ruthless man, icy to the core. He was like pristine snow on a secluded mountain, and a verdant pine on a cliff that no one dared approach. He was the unattainable dream of countless women.

Yet a stranger like Liang Yun had somehow tasted his tenderness.

Everyone knew Liang Yun loved him. But one rainy night, she left a divorce agreement behind and disappeared without a word, then became the little princess of the Liang family of Dongcheng who had run away from home years ago.

Shen Lanting had always believed he could control everything. He turned the world upside down looking for her and called in every favor he could. When he finally appeared before her again, he cornered her at the end of a hallway, frantic and out of his mind. “You lied to me? Even your identity was fake. Was the love you talked about fake too?”

Liang Yun smiled, unconcerned, and treated him like a stranger. “Mr. Shen, please discuss the divorce with my lawyer. Feel free to state your terms.”

1. Xu Zhiyi saw Song Ye again at the annual awards ceremony.

He was presenting an award, and she was receiving one.

On camera, the two were polite and distant. They really weren't close.

But some sharp-eyed netizens noticed that, off camera, Song Ye had clearly said something to Xu Zhiyi.

He had. Song Ye had asked her, “It's been ages since I saw you. Where do you keep the electricity card at home?”

2. Song Ye was the youngest actor to win two major film awards, a top movie star for his age group.

Normally, a small variety show couldn't get someone of his caliber, but somehow, he agreed to appear.

The MCs met for the first time and exchanged greetings.

When it was Xu Zhiyi's turn, sticking to the principle that they weren't close, she greeted him politely. “Mr. Song, it's nice to meet you. I hope you'll look after me.”

Song Ye replied lazily, “Haven't we met before? Have you forgotten, Ms. Xu?”

Xu Zhiyi: “...” Weren't they supposed to pretend they didn't know each other?

Behind the cameras, a popular young actor knocked on Xu Zhiyi's door and blurted out a confession.

With just the door between them, Song Ye was pinned against it by Xu Zhiyi. She covered his lips with her little hand and whispered, “Shh, Mr. Song, don't make a sound...”

Song Ye smiled, took her hand and held it in his palm, then leaned close and murmured in her ear, “Would this work?”

Xu Zhiyi: “...??”

Halfway through the show, he couldn't even be bothered to keep pretending.

Netizens watching the gossip: “See? I told you he was whispering to her at the annual awards ceremony!”
