Ye Shuyuan suddenly found her college diary and showed it to her husband, Jiang Shaojing.
1.
After reading it, he first asked solemnly, "Are you sure this is the part you picked out for me? You're not trying to make me jealous on purpose?"
Ye Shuyuan stroked his chest ingratiatingly. "Of course not. Be patient. There'll be a surprise."
"More like a shock."
He opened the cover and pointed to the line on the back. "Work hard now, marry Luo Chi in the future?" (Luo Chi is a singer.)
Then he moved to the first page beside it and scowled as he tapped twice beneath the third item on her college plan: "Fall in sweet love."
Then came page five. The diary said, "I went to the cafeteria today. The guy in front of me was so handsome. He was wearing a white shirt! I'm guessing he's 180 centimeters tall, and he looks so clean-cut, a little like XXX..." It really did say XXX.
Jiang Shaojing raised his left hand and gently pinched the back of her neck. In an especially "gentle" tone, he asked, "Who is this XXX?"
2.
Jiang Shaojing was rational and practical, not one for flowery words.
But once they were together, he would introduce Ye Shuyuan as his girlfriend without being prompted. When he saw other couples holding hands as they walked down the street, he would take her hand too. The first time he kissed her cheek, he was so nervous that a man who was usually unflappable kept putting his hands in his pockets, then pulling them back out...
The night before his cousin's wedding, they helped decorate the venue. Later, in a guest room where they could be discovered at any moment, they stole a kiss behind the wardrobe door.
Afterward, Ye Shuyuan blushed and asked, "Why did you suddenly..."
He replied with a straight face, "I wanted to, so I did."
There was never an "I love you" between them, yet every moment held proof of how their hearts had been moved.

★★★ My completed story next door, Are You Satisfied, Little Ancestor?
A proud young master and his delicate wife
1.
Du Ningyou was the youngest daughter of the Du family. She grew up in luxury and had never known hardship. Her childhood friend, Zhou Yangze, was quite handsome but had a reputation as a womanizer. Their families wanted them to marry.
When Du Ningyou heard the news, she was horrified. She ran home and clung to her father's leg, crying, "Dad! I don't want to marry Zhou Yangze! He's an idle rich kid who can't even support himself without his family. How could he support me? And there are so many women out there. A pure little cabbage like me couldn't compete with any of them. I'd suffer if I married him..."
Then she looked up and realized Zhou Yangze was standing right beside her. He'd heard every single word she'd said behind his back.
"..."
2.
After going to great lengths to smooth things over, Du Ningyou ingratiatingly asked Zhou Yangze, the king of connections, to find her a suitable husband. She wanted a harmonious family with no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, and a man who could earn enough money to let her keep living in comfort.
Zhou Yangze said, "Don't worry. Leave it to me. Given our relationship, I'll find you someone perfect."
But as soon as he turned around, he went to his friends. "Help me gather information on eligible men between twenty-three and twenty-eight. They need to come from wealthy families and look decent. But they must also have some dealbreaker that makes them unsuitable for marriage, like a difficult future mother-in-law, family infighting, an unforgettable first love, or a respectable public image but a chaotic private life..."
Du Ningyou checked out the potential grooms on his list and was finally exhausted enough to give up. Someone put an arm around her shoulders and consoled her magnanimously. "It's okay. Worst comes to worst, I'll marry you."
3.
Later, they went to the countryside together to film a show. Living under the same roof gradually brought back their childhood closeness.
On a stormy night, Du Ningyou knocked on someone's door, looking pitiful as she clutched a pillow and a little blanket. "The thunder is so scary. I don't dare sleep alone."
Zhou Yangze stepped aside to let her in. Du Ningyou climbed into his bed with practiced ease and made her own arrangements. "I'll sleep on the inside, you sleep on the outside."
"You're certainly not shy."
He put one knee on the bed, pressed one hand down on her blanket, then leaned forward, instantly closing the distance between them. With a teasing smile, he asked, "Only my girlfriend or my wife can ask me to keep her company in bed. Which one are you?"
Du Ningyou looked at him and didn't answer for a while. Then she simply lay down and pulled up the blanket. "Either is fine."
"What did you say? I didn't hear you."
She turned over beneath him with a bright smile and repeated, "I said either is fine."
At that, the smile in Zhou Yangze's eyes faded. He bent his elbow and leaned even closer, saying nothing as he gazed at her intently.
After a long moment, he chuckled. "You just keep pushing your luck. You'll be the one crying sooner or later."
Notes:
1. The male lead has a reputation as a womanizer because he's handsome and attracts women. In reality, he's still never had his first kiss, and he's only ever been close to the female lead.
2. Light and fun, sweet and pampering all the way through. Cute and adorable.
★★★ Coming next: A False Front of Refinement
A refined, smiling fox vs. a graceful, gentle beauty
1.
Shen Lingwei devoted twenty-four years to studying medicine. After earning her doctorate, she began taking over the family business, and the person she worked most closely with was Jiang Yuchen.
Before that, her impression of him was that he was refined and courteous, with the Jiang family's distinguished bearing.
After spending some time with him: Something seemed a little off, but he'd gone to extraordinary lengths to find her medical texts and fully supported her in becoming the Shen family's decision-maker. That kind of deep devotion was worth entrusting herself to.
The day after their wedding, Shen Lingwei silently prescribed a bitter remedy to clear internal heat. After making someone drink it three times, she patted the spot beside her on the bed and asked in a soft, gentle voice, "Tell me, what 'good deeds' have you done all these years?"
2.
During his rebellious youth, Jiang Yuchen thought Shen Lingwei was the perfect model of the family rules, and not at all interesting.
But later, he saw her working late at night, the thick notebooks in her drawers, one after another, and the passion in her eyes when she spoke of her dreams at her coming-of-age ceremony. Only then did he understand what she truly held dear.
Jiang Yuchen eventually made up his mind: Shen Lingwei was his, and he alone deserved to stand by her side.
Theme: Choose each other, and be each other's most unwavering choice.
