To avoid being pressured into marriage, Qing Qingye began following her mother's arrangements and going on blind dates. By chance, she met Wanqi Yan.
By then, he had become a rising tech tycoon featured in the news, China's top game developer, and a returnee from the United States. He was very different from the boy he'd been in his youth.
Yet his manner was just as cool and distant, as if no one could get close to him easily.
When they decided to register their marriage, it had been six years since they last saw each other, and Qing Qingye hesitated a little.
She stood outside the civil affairs bureau, thinking things over. Before she could sort out her thoughts, she saw someone walking toward her. His face was icy, and he stared at her for a full five seconds before asking without a hint of emotion, “If you're not going in, what are you standing here for?”
His gaze felt heavy, and Qing Qingye couldn't help taking a step back. Then she heard him say, “You can leave now. If you do, there won't be another chance.”
Qing Qingye's steps stopped abruptly.
Next, she heard him say calmly from behind her, “You and I have only two options: be husband and wife, or be strangers.”

In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were completely mismatched and wholly unsuited to each other. Their marriage seemed like a joke, and it was bound to end sooner or later.
But Qing Qingye didn't think so. They had agreed not to tell their parents or interfere in each other's lives, and Wanqi Yan flew abroad for work as soon as they had registered their marriage, staying away for many days at a time.
Qing Qingye also got busy with her clay sculpture work, losing herself in it and keeping such irregular hours that she completely forgot she was married.
Then one day, she suddenly received a message:
[Out all night?]
She still couldn't read his feelings from that message.
But half an hour later, Wanqi Yan sent her another one: a simple “?”
Little scenes:
1.
One day, Qing Qingye got a call from her mother. Xu Huilan demanded furiously, “Your records say you're married. What's going on?”
Qing Qingye played dumb. “Who told you that?”
Xu Huilan: “The police.”
Qing Qingye: “It's fake. Don't believe it.”
Xu Huilan: “...You'd better give me an explanation.”
2.
Both sets of parents came to demand an explanation for their getting married without permission.
Qing Qingye pulled Wanqi Yan aside to discuss what to do. She hadn't expected things to get so complicated.
Before they could come up with a plan, Wanqi Yan turned and walked over to their parents. Then Qing Qingye heard him say, “Moms and dads.”
His manner was so proper that the parents across from him straightened up without even realizing it.
Qing Qingye walked over and sat beside him, ready to hear his explanation. The next moment, she heard him say:
“I hope you won't ruin my marriage.”
Qing Qingye: “...”
The parents: “...”
One has no conscience VS one is stubborn to the end
