To get to New York, Xia Ci dumped her fiancé without hesitation right as they were about to get married.
She’d set her sights too high, and in the end all she had to show for it was a diploma and a letter of recommendation. She returned home in disgrace.
Under pressure from her family, she began going on blind dates again, meeting one man after another.
Unexpectedly, one of them turned out to be her former fiancé, Tan Simian.
At the tea table, she calculated how quickly she could retreat, so her expensive silk blouse wouldn’t be ruined by scalding tea.
Tan Simian finished the last drop of his Maojian tea without throwing it at her.
He simply asked calmly, “Are you on a blind date?”
Xia Ci relaxed her tense back and nodded.
She thought he would laugh at her, mock her, or even curse her. After all, she’d given him a massive pair of horns.
Tan Simian didn’t mention the past. Expressionless, he said, “If you’re willing, our engagement still stands.”
Xia Ci agreed.
After they married, she enjoyed the material benefits of being Tan Simian’s wife, while also finding herself on guard: was he just waiting for the right moment to take revenge on her?
