A Winter Wedding [Rekindling an Old Flame]

■ Sunshine Girl x Brooding Cynic

■ Reunited After a Breakup / Secretly Delighted Male Lead / Powerful Pair / Mutual Healing

At eighteen, Xiao Mo fell for Shi Qi, the transfer student in her class.

The new student was devastatingly handsome, but stiff and boring, aloof and cold. He ignored her repeated attempts to get close to him and wouldn't even speak to her.

As it happened, her father had found a marriage prospect for her, a girl who had never been valued by her family.

She wanted to fight back, but she heard the other party was handsome too, so Xiao Mo decided to meet him.

The day before she was supposed to meet her prospective husband, her class went on a study trip to the capital.

At midnight, someone knocked on Xiao Mo's hotel room door. When she opened it, she found Shi Qi, who had never paid her any attention.

He had just showered. Water dripped from his hair onto his collarbone, and his thin white shirt was soaked, revealing glimpses of porcelain-pale skin.

"My hair dryer broke. Can I borrow yours?"

Xiao Mo handed him the hair dryer. As she shut the door, she realized a nosebleed was dripping down her face.

"No need to look any further. I'll take him." Xiao Mo decisively canceled the marriage meeting the next day.

After that, Shi Qi seemed like a different person. He even sneaked into the hospital several times to visit her when she was admitted.

Xiao Mo thought that if things carried on like this, she would eventually win her handsome man.

Until one day, after returning to the capital to take over the company and getting everything in order, she rushed back to Nanjiang late at night despite her exhaustion to see him. By chance, she saw him tear up the love letter she'd left behind and throw it into the trash.

She bought a plane ticket and left for good without even saying goodbye.

Six years later.

After a major upheaval in her family, Xiao Mo went overnight from a spoiled heiress banished to a small city to the sole heir of one of the capital's top real estate groups.

The company looked impressive on the surface, but was riddled with parasites and lost money year after year.

To save the company, Xiao Mo decided to approach the man her family had once arranged for her to marry. They could each get what they needed from the other and enter into a marriage of convenience.

On the day they met, a server accidentally spilled red wine on her. She left the table to clean up in the restroom, but halfway there, someone suddenly yanked her into the private room next door.

The man was noble and icy, his presence even sharper and more formidable than before. He pinned Xiao Mo in his arms, ignoring her struggle, and kissed her until he had had his fill before finally speaking.

"Taste good?"

Xiao Mo thought he meant himself. She wiped her mouth hard. "You taste awful!"

Shi Qi had gotten his way, and the corner of his mouth lifted.

"Then come home with me. I'll let you try something else."

That night in the villa halfway up the mountain, she fell asleep starving while he stayed satisfied until dawn.

-

Everyone thought Xiao Mo had been the one to make the first move between them. Even she believed it.

Until one day after they got their marriage certificate, Shi Qi went to shower and didn't come back for a long time. In his study, she found hundreds of unopened love letters.

Every one was from him.

Every one was written to her.

Xiao Mo finally understood. Neither of the two arranged marriages had been disrupted by chance.

Xiao Mo's POV:

Who gets it?!!!

One second, he's pushing me away like he'd rather die than give in! The next, he's kissing me!!

Blurb:

On the day of a torrential storm in Hong Kong, Mo Zhen looked through the window and saw her half-sister's lavish engagement party inside.

The whole family was having a wonderful time.

After the food and drinks, the man she was supposed to call brother-in-law left in his car, slightly drunk.

Mo Zhen didn't know where she found the courage. She rushed forward and stopped the dark, luxurious Pagani speeding down the road.

The driver slammed on the brakes in terror. "Are you crazy?"

Ji Jiachen lowered the car window a crack and studied her with a probing gaze. His perfectly tailored suit made his sharp features stand out even more.

Soaked through and shivering in the rain, Mo Zhen looked like a stray dog.

"Choose me."

Ji Jiachen sat in the car, composed and dignified.

"Can you handle being my woman?"

"Do whatever you want with me."

Separated by a door, they were worlds apart.

Ji Jiachen saw the resilience and clarity in her eyes as she stood in the rain. As if possessed, he opened the car door and tossed his limited-edition designer jacket over her half-naked body.

He quickly looked away, never seeing the cold smile on her face beneath the jacket.

-

It wasn't until he had her by his side that he realized he had raised a wolf.

Heartless and cold-blooded.

And far more captivating than she had been on that rainy night.
