Crystal Candy [Childhood Friends]

Three months into their engagement, Chen Riying slapped Fu Nian in a restaurant, acting utterly unreasonable! Everyone thought the two families were sure to fall out and become mortal enemies.

It happened at a restaurant. Fu Nian said he had work, but he was actually having a meal with a beautiful stranger. She reached her chopsticks into his dish to pick up food, and he didn't stop her.

So Chen Riying beckoned her junior colleague over and had him take a sip of her milk tea.

Just as Fu Nian looked over, she stared back at him provocatively.

Sure enough, Fu Nian came over. "She has a fiance."

Without a word, Chen Riying slapped him. "You're engaged too."

"You can flirt with someone else, but I can't?"

Fu Nian somehow managed to put up with it, and still married her right on schedule. The wedding was grand, and everyone thought he was crazy.

Chen Riying always thought marrying someone she knew would be like being widowed while still married. She had no interest in Fu Nian at all. Even an accidental kiss gave her goosebumps all over.

Their families had forced the marriage on them. Did they even understand the line between childhood sweethearts and close friends?

After the wedding, Chen Riying still insisted on sleeping in separate rooms from Fu Nian.

Fu Nian struggled to hold back. He went from dropping hints to openly flirting, and finally said, "I think my wife should take some traditional Chinese medicine to balance her constitution."

Later...

Chen Riying slept until four in the afternoon. She climbed out of bed, clutching her aching waist, and looked at her flushed face. Chen Riying, Chen Riying, you've really let yourself go.

Blurb: Wu Mengxi had pushed her career to its limits. On her thirty-first birthday, she joined a new company and laid eyes on her boss, Lin Yan, for the first time.

Lin Yan was handsome, with bright eyes, and dressed in a black suit. Before meeting him, she'd already heard about his ruthless methods and his refined scoundrel's manner.

Wu Mengxi wanted nothing more than to tear the suit right off him.

But reality always runs counter to one's imagination.

In truth, the hem of her expensive skirt, worth tens of thousands, was ripped to shreds by that dog's fangs.

Lin Yan was sharp-tongued and domineering, and always acted superior. With a boss like him, even if he was handsome, you'd still want to die.

Wu Mengxi decided to make things better for her colleagues.

Lin Yan: "One time for one day."

Theme: In the end, life together is a matter for the two people living it.
