Hear My Secret Crush [Marriage Before Love]

[Marriage First, Love Later] [Unrequited Love Turns Mutual] [Each Other's First Love]

-

Zeng Manyi first met Shao Jingqi at an airport in a foreign country.

Sunlight fell on the man. A sheen glimmered in his slightly wavy black hair, and his long, slender fingers were pale, with bluish veins showing beneath the skin.

He wore a black, soft-collared shirt and silver-rimmed glasses as he scrolled through the tablet on his lap.

She thought to herself, He's so handsome.

The second time, Zeng Manyi went to complain to the property management late at night.

Shao Jingqi looked up and asked coolly, "What is it?"

Zeng Manyi's eyes widened, her heart skipping a beat. "I came to complain. The people downstairs are disturbing the peace."

At that, Shao Jingqi leaned back lazily and replied in a cold, weary voice, "You're filing a complaint with me?"

"Can you do anything about it?"

After a few seconds of silence, he said flatly, "Yes."

The third time she saw Shao Jingqi,

Zeng Manyi had been forced to attend a blind date, only to run into him by chance.

She felt as if she'd been granted a reprieve. "Mr. Shao, I'm looking for a husband. How about you take care of that too?"

Later, he really did take care of it, for the rest of their lives.

As far as their marriage was concerned, Zeng Manyi willingly took on the burden of being the breadwinner. She worked diligently, churning out comics at a furious pace so Shao Jingqi could feel confident about being a happy property-management receptionist.

At a business reception one day, she happened to see Shao Jingqi surrounded by a crowd of bosses fawning over him. He stood there, impeccably composed, sipping his wine without a hint of concern, not sparing them even a glance.

Zeng Manyi was utterly dumbfounded.
