Kiss the Rose

1. Qi Zheng had lived a pampered life for twenty years. Then the Qi family went bankrupt. That day, not only was it pouring rain, but people had gathered to laugh at her, including her so-called fiance.

Then a Rolls-Royce with a lucky license plate pulled up in front of them. A man in a tailored suit stepped out, exuding an air of nobility. Her fiance's expression changed at once, and he called out ingratiatingly, "Mr. Lu."

Qi Zheng had heard plenty about Lu Jinghe. His family had been among the elite for generations, and he'd been born at the very top. In the business world, he was famous for his ruthless tactics.

That night, beneath dim lights amid heady indulgence, he lounged on the sofa, slightly tipsy, and passed clear liquor into her mouth.

The next time, he narrowed his eyes and kissed her ear. "How does it taste?"

Meeting the man's deep gaze again, Qi Zheng was speechless. Under the horrified eyes of the crowd, Lu Jinghe walked toward her.

"Want to come home with me?"

2. Qi Zheng knew that she and Lu Jinghe were only using each other. So when she heard he was about to marry the daughter of a prominent family, she promptly moved out of his villa.

Everyone said Lu Jinghe was only playing around, that he had no real feelings and would never marry her.

But after Qi Zheng moved out...

"How has she been lately?"

"She seems pretty happy. She's out shopping with her best friend."

"..."

"What is she doing?"

"She went on a trip with her best friend. Sounds like she won't be back for half a month."

Ten days later, Lu Jinghe suddenly received a message from a friend.

"My mom set me up on a blind date today. Guess who it is? Your wife!"

Lu Jinghe: "..."

3. Qi Zheng was wondering how to end the awkward blind date when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. She looked up to see the man's stormy expression.

"Come home with me."

Qi Zheng pulled free. "Mr. Lu, we're even."

"Even?" Lu Jinghe gave a low laugh. "Zhengzheng, do you really think I stood up for you because I had nothing better to do?"
