Only You

[A new novel next door is already underway and updating regularly! Visit my author page to find it! Marriage first, love later; a spoiled, adorable heroine x a refined scoundrel]

1

Mo Li is entrusted with an urgent task: stand in for her boss's daughter at an engagement banquet.

The young lady doesn't return for a long time, so Mo Li has no choice but to live under the same roof as her "fiance."

Everyone in their circle knows that Lu Qingyan is aloof and cold, proud and distant, and has never had a woman entangled with him.

Her boss even assures Mo Li with complete confidence that there are more people who like Lu Qingyan than fish crossing a river, but he has no interest in romance. The marriage alliance between the two families is just for show, with each side getting what it needs.

Mo Li is quite satisfied with this arrangement. She only has to play the fake fiancee for a while, then bow out after the job is done.

But as she keeps acting, her "fiance" starts looking at her in a very different way...

Mo Li: I'm just a stand-in, a tool for the job. You actually want to date me?

At a seaside resort hotel, the banquet is in full swing, and guests are dressed to the nines.

Back to being herself, Mo Li gets promoted and a raise, becoming the company's director of overseas business development. She arrives at the banquet in a backless evening gown, her skin fair as snow and her appearance dazzling.

Lu Qingyan hurries over after hearing the news. He politely turns down everyone who tries to flirt with him, never taking his eyes off her for even a second.

Mo Li ignores his burning gaze and glides onto the dance floor with a man who has invited her to dance.

Lu Qingyan tightens his grip on the glass of red wine in his hand. As soon as the dance ends, he walks toward her.

The man grips Mo Li by the shoulder, lowers his voice, and, struggling to keep his emotions in check, says with a smile that is not quite a smile, "It's time to go home, Mrs. Lu."
