Sweet, delicate girl x cool, chaste type

She first met Shen Heng at the Su family's first-birthday banquet.

Someone jokingly brought up arranging a childhood betrothal and asked little Su Tao which older boy she liked.

The reason was simple: The Su family was one of the most powerful clans, and with such an adorable little girl in the family, everyone wanted to make their move first.

But the little girl pointed toward the corner with her fair, delicate hand and said with a sweet smile, "Brother Shen is handsome."

Surprise flashed through someone's eyes.

Shen Heng was only an adopted son of the Shen family. Even at such a young age, he was already calculating and deep-thinking, hardly a promising choice for a childhood betrothal.

Unlike before, the twenty-six-year-old Shen Yanzhi had become even more calculating. He took control of the Shen family with ruthless decisiveness, stunning the entire upper crust of the capital.

One day, a friend recalled the old gossip and casually asked about Su Tao.

In the dim private room, the man held a cigarette between his fingers. Smoke drifted past his profile as he gave a careless, mocking laugh. "She's just a little tagalong."

But no one knew that the cigarette ash he shook spilled outside the ashtray, burning an ugly red mark into his long, slender fingertip.

A sight that was extremely irritating.

After hearing that response and recalling their personalities, no one brought up that old joke again.

The sweet girl adored by everyone and the calculating head of the Shen family hardly seemed like a good match.

Until the banquet ended, after an evening of toasts and clinking glasses. Someone with a sharp eye spotted Su Tao being pressed against a wall, her eyes red-rimmed as if she had been bullied into tears.

And the culprit who'd bullied her was none other than Shen Heng.

Trapped in the corner, Su Tao could only turn her head away and avoid looking at him. Her voice was full of hurt as she accused him, "Didn't you say you didn't like me? Why are you still coming after me?"

Suddenly, a soft sigh came from above her. Amid the noisy banquet, it was barely audible.

As the shadow falling around them grew larger, the man lowered his head. His voice was hoarse and muffled. "Let's forget about what happened when we were kids. But last month, you stole a kiss from me."

"Three days ago, you bit my Adam's apple while I was asleep."

"So, Tao Tao, are you planning to have your fun and then dump me?"

"But... isn't it common knowledge that you don't like women?"

"Looks like Miss Su's information is wrong." Shen Heng lifted his head and looked at her. His gaze grew darker as he let out a soft, ambiguous laugh. "I don't like women..."

"But Tao Tao is the one exception."
