Bite and Hold [Marriage Before Love]

Wen Qinghan is the model young lady of Xiangcheng, the dream daughter-in-law of countless wealthy matrons.

Kou Yi comes from a powerful family in Beicheng. He's the eldest son of the Kou family, with a status beyond reproach, and its heir as well.

Their wedding shakes the entire capital.

People praise their marriage as a match made in heaven to their faces, but privately they gossip with disdain.

"It's nothing but a marriage of convenience."

"Just wait and see. Once Kou Yi takes power, he'll definitely divorce her."

"These rich young masters either like sweet, gentle female students or seductive actresses. How could they like a cold, boring heiress like her?"

Even her older brother warns Wen Qinghan that Kou Yi may seem refined and courteous, but he's actually cold and heartless, with an overwhelming desire for power. A man like that might be fine as a friend, but he's absolutely unsuitable as a husband.

Wen Qinghan can only smile wryly. What choice does she have? If she doesn't marry Kou Yi, she'll have to marry another rich young master. At least Kou Yi doesn't have a wild private life.

After the wedding, everyone waits for Kou Yi and Wen Qinghan to divorce.

Even Wen Qinghan herself is waiting. Instead of a divorce, however, she gets a melodramatic case of a real and fake heiress. Overnight, she becomes a laughingstock among the wealthy.

So, before Kou Yi can ask for a divorce, she leaves him divorce papers and moves out of the Kou family villa.

Kou Yi rushes to the airport and stops her at security.

"Where are you going?"

The usually refined and aloof young master has a hint of panic in his eyes.

Wen Qinghan lowers her gaze and says softly, "I have no value to you anymore. There's no reason for you to stay married to me."

Kou Yi pulls her into his arms. "Who told you this marriage was for convenience?"

"Wasn't it?"

Kou Yi lowers his head and nips at her lips. "Of course not. I fought for this marriage myself." He brushes his teeth against her neck and whispers so only the two of them can hear, "Baby, I've been waiting for you to grow up."
