Across the Mountain Tea

[Arranged Marriage to Love vs. Mutual Pining Comes True]

Late at night, Su Qingruo had just stepped into the rear courtyard when she spotted someone sitting on the wall. He asked her, "Want to get married?"

Su Qingruo recognized him: Chu Huaizhi, heir to the Duke of Qin.

His greatest asset: money.

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Qingruo agreed.

It was only an act, after all. She was very good at that.

Su Qingruo had been feeling a little confused lately. She kept thinking that Chu Huaizhi was deliberately avoiding her.

One afternoon, she finally caught Chu Huaizhi after he had been missing for two days. She braced one hand against the door behind him, preventing him from running off again.

Su Qingruo looked up at him, growing even angrier. "The person getting scolded isn't allowed to be taller than me. Bend down a little."

Chu Huaizhi obediently bent over... and picked her up instead.

"Now I'm taller than you," Chu Huaizhi said, looking up. "Go ahead and scold me."
