That day at a ski resort in Scotland, Qi Ji was dragged along by a friend to go skiing.

She lost her balance and was about to tumble down the slope when someone grabbed her by the arm. She looked up and met a pair of smiling, alluring eyes.

Once she was steady on her feet, Zheng Shaoxian fetched her a turtle-shaped padded cushion, thoughtfully helped her put it on, and tapped her goggles.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here."

In a foreign land, her restless heart at last found somewhere to belong.

In everyone's eyes, Zheng Shaoxian treated Qi Ji as nothing more than an obedient playmate, indulging and teasing her without ever taking her seriously.

Qi Ji, however, kept loving him as always, willingly settling for being his backup.

Until Zheng Shaoxian stood Qi Ji up again.

That night at a bar, she saw him holding a girl in a miniskirt and kissing her passionately.

Qi Ji finally gave up on him and blocked every way he could contact her.

One night, Zheng Shaoxian finally came to his senses and chased after Qi Ji to her apartment building in China, ready to deliver a long speech and beg her to take him back.

Instead, he saw Tan Yuhuai downstairs, the second young master of the Tan family, whom everyone wanted to marry into.

The woman he was holding intimately in his arms was Qi Ji.

Tan Yuhuai gave him a cold glance. "What do you want?"

Zheng Shaoxian's eyes reddened. He clenched his fists, but didn't dare say a word.

Qi Ji met Tan Yuhuai in the emergency room of Jing City People's Hospital.

He wore a white shirt, with a black suit jacket draped over his arm. The right sleeve was rolled halfway up, and his forearm was bandaged.

Half an hour earlier, she had crashed into Tan Yuhuai's car. She was completely unharmed, but had left him injured.

When he finished his phone call, Qi Ji approached him, feeling guilty. "Mr. Tan, I'll take responsibility."

Tan Yuhuai spun his phone between his fingers and lowered his eyelids. His eyes were long and narrow, his expression cool and unreadable, and his tone was somewhat roguish. "How are you going to take responsibility, by marrying me?"

Qi Ji froze, staring straight at him, momentarily at a loss for words.

The man gave a faint laugh and loosened his tie. Just as he was about to walk past her, someone tugged at the hem of his jacket.

He lowered his gaze to her clear eyes and heard her speak softly.

"All right."

This time, it was Tan Yuhuai who froze.

-

People in their social circles had all kinds of opinions about the marriage alliance between the Qi and Tan families.

Most thought the Qi family was marrying above its station. Quite a few made snide remarks, too: So what if she married well? They're still just a couple in name only, with no love between them.

Later, at a reception, someone saw Qi Ji tugging Tan Yuhuai's tie to kiss him.

She seemed to be sulking and kissed him urgently, but only managed to reach his chin.

Annoyed, she glared at him and bit his chin.

Tan Yuhuai wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled, gazed down at her tenderly, and leaned in to pick her up, soothing her in his deep, magnetic voice.

"Go ahead and kiss me."

Twenty minutes later, everyone was stunned.

Tan Yuhuai, reputed to be cold and indifferent, was carrying his supposedly loveless wife out of the venue.

The ring of teeth marks on his chin had yet to fade. The woman in his arms had ears red as could be, and a pair of slender silver heels dangled from her long fingers.
