1v1 | Bickering couple | He has a secret crush
Ruan Huilu has been having a run of bad luck lately.
Her family pressured her into a blind date, and her date was Li Chongyu, a high school classmate with whom she'd had an unpleasant history.
To make matters worse, she dropped his phone into a hot pot during dinner. She spent every last penny she had buying him a replacement, only for him to coldly refuse: "If I have to wait for you to pay me back, my time is worth more than the phone."
But she refused to owe him, and after several rounds of negotiation, she successfully took on the job of providing Mr. Li's dinners.
At the first meal, Li Chongyu set a budget of no more than 100 yuan.
At the second, he wouldn't let her order takeout.
At the third...
Through gritted teeth, Ruan Huilu added Mr. Li's food restrictions to her notes and swore she'd never see him again once she'd paid off her debt.
Xingtu Technology employees: Please don't! If you're gone, he'll make us work overtime!
Later.
Li Chongyu, the rising tech star of Lugang, had always looked down on everyone. In her eyes, he was an immovable iceberg who would never bend for anyone.
Until Ruan Huilu got drunk, grabbed his collar, and burst into tears, accusing him of being too arrogant the last time he confessed his feelings.
Nobody expected Mr. Li not only to stay calm, but to gently wipe away her tears and ask, "How should I make it up to you?"
Ruan Huilu drunkenly played the fool. "Beg me."
"All right," he readily agreed. "Marry me. I'm begging you."
*Wait, who proposes by actually begging???
*I ended up with my high school classmate, the one I couldn't stand
Soft but tough girl vs. the world's greatest iceberg
A classic case of Pride and Prejudice
Reading guide:
1. Both are virgins and each other's first love. A sweet romance with no angst, read without worry.
2. Don't take the professional details too seriously.
Theme: A couple being all lovey-dovey
After reading the last chapter, I felt a little sad for Jiang Yishang. It was from his perspective. The girl he had a crush on slept with and he ran away. The promising contract (I guess I found out later that it had a domineering clause) was ruined at her request. After six years of working as an extra, he finally came forward and met her again at the award ceremony. He could still be so proactive and really loved her. Not to mention that he was abandoned once and took the initiative again. He really loved her.
