Kiss Me, and You Must Like Me [Marriage Before Love]

Su Yizhen got married at the age of twenty-three.

As the youngest daughter of the Su family in the capital, she'd known since childhood that her fate was to enter an arranged marriage.

She'd just never imagined that her match would be Jiang Zhicheng, the son of a family close to hers.

From the few times they'd met, Su Yizhen had thought Jiang Zhicheng was clever and capable, courageous and resourceful, considerate and tactful, and always knew when to advance or hold back.

He had to be all that to become the most outstanding successor in the eyes of their elders.

After thinking it over, she decided he seemed decent enough, so Su Yizhen married him.

She'd assumed married life with Jiang Zhicheng would be as calm as still water, with them treating each other as honored guests. But after spending some time together, Su Yizhen discovered that beneath his mild-mannered facade, he hid another side.

For example, modest in public but full of self-praise in private; chaste in public but a flirt in private; and, on top of that, he kissed her.

His two utterly unexpected yet incredibly serious kisses left Su Yizhen so unsettled she couldn't eat or sleep. Finally, one day, she stormed into his study.

She slapped her palm on his desk and asked, "Do you like me?"

Jiang Zhicheng looked up. "What makes you say that?"

"You kissed me!"

Jiang Zhicheng smiled, leaning back in his chair. "Kissing you means I like you?"

"If you kiss me, it means you like me!" Su Yizhen declared.

Jiang Zhicheng still wore that half-smile. After two seconds of eye contact, a large hand pressed against the back of Su Yizhen's head. The moment their lips touched, her mind exploded.

Coming soon: Good Girl, Sheng Ziyang x Su Yici

Blurb:

The most outrageous thing Su Yici had ever done was sleep with her sworn enemy, Sheng Ziyang.

When they came to their senses, they quickly sprang apart, afraid to touch each other. They agreed on one thing: neither of them had to take responsibility for the other. They'd pretend it never happened and go back to wanting nothing to do with each other until they died.

But to their utter shock, the secret got out and reached both sets of parents.

The elders of both families immediately decided the two should marry, calling it an excellent alliance between their families.

Both of them stubbornly refused, threatening to ruin the marriage. On the phone, they said in unison:

"Whoever goes through with this marriage is a grandchild!"

Then, on the day in question, a Koenigsegg and a Lamborghini met head-on outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.

With their bright red marriage certificates in hand, neither could believe things had turned out this way. After leaving the bureau, they each glanced at the red booklet in their hand, then looked at each other in perfect unison.

The next second:

"Whoever gets divorced is a grandchild!"

"Whoever gets divorced is a grandchild!"

Much later, someone brought up the incident.

Su Yici raised an eyebrow. "In this life, I'll only ever be a grandma, never a grandchild!"

Sheng Ziyang shrugged. "I'll be anyone's grandchild, just not hers!"
