The Marriage That Never Happened

[Updates every night at 9. Next book: Half-Finished] 1. For her best friend's birthday, Yu Zhiwei grabs the wrong drink in the dim light of a karaoke room and drinks her friend's brother's Coke. Qi Shengyu watches her the whole time. Only after she finishes does he raise an eyebrow and remind her, "You drank mine." Yu Zhiwei: "..." When the siblings argue, Yu Zhiwei unhesitatingly takes her best friend's side. Qi Shengyu mocks her, saying even her brain must be blind. She argues back, "Isn't that what sticking up for your own people means?" Qi Shengyu seems to speak without thinking. "You stick up for them even when they're wrong? Do you do that for your boyfriend, too?" She decides to test him. "I stick up for my own people. Has no girlfriend ever stuck up for you?" The man's gaze on her is like thick ink. "No, never." Yu Zhiwei blinks. "I don't mind letting you experience some warmth." With that, she walks straight out the door, and their first date begins. 2. After hearing that her family doesn't need her salary, Yu Zhiwei rents a counter at Rong City's largest gold and jewelry trading center. Every day, she serves customers, gossips, livestreams, and chats with her internet relatives. She lives carefree, and doesn't take her new relationship too seriously. Sleeping with a catch is a win, and as for the future? Who cares? Until she discovers that her boyfriend is the real owner behind the trading market, and completely loses it. Yu Zhiwei: "So the rent I've been paying every day has been going straight into your pocket?" Qi Shengyu: "Why don't we get married? I'll transfer the property deed to you, and you can collect the rent from now on." Yu Zhiwei: "I'm tired..." The man lets out a cold laugh. Little liar. Her maternal grandfather asks Yu Zhiwei to come home, saying he wants to introduce her to a relative. Qi Shengyu, who has no business being there, is sitting on the sofa with one leg crossed over the other. Her grandfather points at him and introduces him: "He's my newly adopted son. Call him Uncle." The man smiles slightly and addresses her: "Niece, a pleasure to meet you." Yu Zhiwei: "..." You really had to become part of this family, didn't you? (23.12.17) Reading notes: 1.
