1.

After driving away the 108th blind date her family had arranged, Chi Qingxia had a huge fight with them. Finally, she made up her mind, grabbed her suitcase, and boarded a plane to Britain to stay with her cousin, who was studying for a doctorate there.

Her cousin said she completely understood how Chi Qingxia felt. Though she wasn't in Britain at the moment, Chi Qingxia could still stay in her apartment. Her roommate had recently been injured, though, and had a cold face and a bad temper. Chi Qingxia just had to put up with her until her cousin returned.

Thinking of Britain's expensive accommodation costs, Chi Qingxia, suddenly possessed by Scrooge, promptly declared, "I can put up with it. What's so hard about that? It's not like I'll have to be bedmates with a cold-faced, bad-tempered roommate."

After preparing herself, Chi Qingxia eagerly knocked on the apartment door, then froze on the spot. The woman who opened it had a gorgeous face and a statuesque figure. Her distinctive downturned eyes gazed coldly at Chi Qingxia. Her long hair was a mess, and the buttons on her white shirt were misaligned. She looked every bit as bad-tempered as advertised, but her looks were simply top-tier.

Though her cousin hadn't asked Chi Qingxia to look after the top, they were living under the same roof. Seeing her roommate struggling to get around with a cane, Chi Qingxia couldn't bear to leave her be, so...

"I made too much noodles. Want some?"

"I ran a bath, but now I don't feel like taking one. Want to go first?"

"I'll hang the laundry. I don't like other people touching my clothes."

Gradually, Chi Qingxia realized that the other woman wasn't as bad-tempered as her cousin had said. She was just introverted and quiet. Aside from that, their life together was fairly harmonious.

Until one day, Chi Qingxia got a call from her father, who told her that her mother had suddenly developed heart disease.

Chi Qingxia couldn't think about anything else. She packed her bags and flew home that very night. Lin Suizhao had carefully chosen a ring and flowers, but when she opened the door to an empty apartment, she was stunned.

Lin Suizhao was a model. She had made her way from a small town to Britain, only to have an accident just before her first major runway show. She was alive, but her leg was broken.

She was so depressed that she only wanted to be alone, but her roommate had no sense of timing and told her that her cousin would be staying at the apartment for a while. She joked that her cousin was cheerful, a ray of sunshine whom everyone adored, and warned Lin Suizhao to keep herself in check and not fall for her.

As if she could possibly fall for someone.

She, Lin Suizhao, was an independent, self-reliant woman who had fought her way out of a terrible family. She had long since seen through all the love and romance in the world. Love and butterflies could go to hell; they would only slow her down on the runway. But...she was so cute.

The way she clumsily made up excuses to coax Lin Suizhao into eating was cute. The way she insisted she was a picky eater with a clean streak, even though she wasn't, just so she could hang Lin Suizhao's clothes, was adorable. The way she frowned at her phone was cute. The way she got frustrated when she couldn't stick on her false eyelashes was cute. Even the sweet, floral perfume she wore was irresistibly alluring.

Looking at such an adorable Chi Qingxia, Lin Suizhao decided that maybe she didn't need to walk the runway quite so fast.

When she had bought flowers and a ring and returned home full of anticipation, ready to confess her feelings to Chi Qingxia, Chi Qingxia had left without a word.

To make matters even worse, Chi Qingxia's cousin returned from France and casually told her that she would be going back to China soon because her cousin was getting engaged.

Only then did Lin Suizhao realize:

Huh? So she doesn't like me.

Not only does she not like me, she's getting married!

After returning to China, Chi Qingxia discovered that her mother's illness had been an excuse her parents made up to lure her home. When the couple still refused to give up on their dream of seeing her get married and settle down, Chi Qingxia moved out resolutely and went into business with a college roommate, opening a handmade crafts studio.

She worked diligently, drawing designs, making products, and handling promotion. The studio's orders took off, and Chi Qingxia herself became a moderately famous hand-model streamer thanks to her beautiful hands in the studio's promotional videos.

One day, her business partner told her they'd landed a major commission: a big fashion show had chosen their studio to design jewelry for the event, and as partners, they would be able to watch the show.

On the day of the show, every detail was being handled at the hectic backstage. After a flawless opening, Lin Suizhao returned backstage to hug and thank the designers, but her gaze never left Chi Qingxia, who was chatting and laughing with her business partner in the corner.

Finally unable to hold back her feelings, she walked right up beside Chi Qingxia and glared at her business partner.

Confused, the business partner looked at Chi Qingxia.

Chi Qingxia also looked at Lin Suizhao, completely baffled.

Lin Suizhao picked up a glass of champagne and smiled politely at the business partner. "There's something I'd like to discuss with your wife in private. Would that be all right?"

The business partner looked at Chi Qingxia, even more confused. "Who's my wife? You?"

Chi Qingxia looked at Lin Suizhao. "Whose wife am I?"

-My wife. You're my wife.

#She's getting married, but I'm not the bride# #That gorgeous mixed-race model seems to be showing off her feathers lately# #Do not disturb, I already have a wife#
