[Married first, fall in love later + rekindled romance]
[Sharp-tongued and unruly x sweet on the outside, calculating within]
[The everyday bickering of two masters of verbal sparring]
1.
On the day Bai Xunian got engaged, Lu Ye looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, and her heart still raced.
Even after eight years apart, her youthful unrequited love still made her heart flutter.
She quietly turned away, wishing him a wonderful and romantic future.
She never expected this extravagant banquet to end absurdly, with the bride running away.
Night fell, and the guests dispersed.
Watching Bai Xunian's dejected figure in the vast rainy night, Lu Ye spoke the first words between them since their reunion:
"Hey, vagrant, want me to take you in?"
2.
The year after they signed their marriage agreement, Jiang Yanning came to see them, crying as she spoke of how much she couldn't bear to let Bai Xunian go.
Lu Ye sneered, unimpressed by her hypocritical act, but then she saw Bai Xunian across from her, saying nothing and listening in silence.
At that moment, Lu Ye lost all confidence.
She tossed the divorce papers onto the table and forced a carefree smile. "Go ahead, leave."
Everyone said the Bai family's eldest son, Bai Xunian, was weak and useless. His fiancee had run away at their engagement banquet, and half of Rongcheng had laughed at him.
But who would have thought that the next time they saw Bai Xunian, the good-for-nothing they all talked about would have become the CEO of a rising company, swallowed up several of the Bai family's major businesses, and amassed a fortune beyond estimation?
At the year-end business gala, glasses clinked and guests mingled.
Dressed in a suit, Bai Xunian coolly brushed off others' flattery and invitations, heading straight for a corner.
Then everyone saw Bai Xunian, who had just looked utterly unapproachable, gazing eagerly at Lin Lu Ye, his voice tinged with a hint of grievance. "Wife, when are you coming home?"
Reading guide:
This isn't a traditional married-first, fall-in-love-later story. The mutual attraction between the two is strong from the start.
There will be some little misunderstandings, but at heart, this is a sweet little romance.
The story is a slow burn and will also cover the growth of their careers. Neither of them is ruled by love. Their different personalities simply lead them to make different choices.
The heroine is a tea ceremony instructor. Related professional knowledge comes from Baidu Baike and the internet. Please point out any issues!
