Apple Green [Hong Kong Style X Marriage Alliance] [Coming Next]

[A story about a little cat training a dog / a romance featuring the second male lead who is in love year-round / puppy-love fiction]

The art films Jiang Guansong invested in won award after award, making him famous.

He spent his days at celebration parties, drinking and making merry, until a phone call brought him home just as he was getting into the swing of things.

At the Jiang family estate, Jiang Guansong sat with his legs apart, propping his cheek up listlessly. "Dad, why'd you call me back?"

Jiang's father finished his tea unhurriedly and calmly informed him, "The youngest daughter of the Luo family is coming back to the country at the end of the month. Go pick her up, look after her, and get along with her."

From baffled to suddenly understanding, Jiang Guansong blurted out in shock,

"What do you mean? You're using me for an arranged marriage? Is there a problem with the financial reports? Are we going bankrupt?"

Overnight, the young master of the Jiang family was betrothed and put into an arranged marriage, losing his freedom.

So while trying to get along with Luo Rong, Jiang Guansong deliberately told her how miserable a loveless marriage would be, hoping to scare her off.

Luo Rong listened quietly, then told him, "Feelings can grow over time."

Jiang Guansong was speechless for a moment. A few seconds later, he poured cold water on her words. "Can love grow over time? All that grows from it is familial affection."

A few months later, in the light of dawn and dusk.

Jiang Guansong rose, lightly slick with sweat, then wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind and confessed hoarsely, "I love you, bb."

But Luo Rong replied softly, "Don't call me bb. Love can't grow over time."

He knew how to bend without breaking. "Then bb can call me big brother."

On a flight from Hong Kong City to London, Luo Rong met Jiang Guansong for the first time.

His black sunglasses rested against his hair. His features were deep, his nose straight, and there was a tiny red mole beside his Adam's apple.

He took off his black suit jacket, leaving only a matching black tank top. His arms were beautifully defined, his long legs were outlined by his trousers, and a narrow, muscular waist completed the look.

After they landed, she called Martin. "Hey, what do you think about an arranged marriage?"

Martin immediately understood. "Got your eye on someone?"

"Jiang Guansong, from the Jiang family in Hong Kong City."

Later, Jiang Guansong, who had insisted that love could not grow over time, willingly bowed his head.

A leather choker encircled the base of his throat. He took her hand and guided her fingers through its silver ring, willingly handing over control.

He told her over and over, "I love you, bb."
