The Cream Puff Trap

My next book will be One Thousand Apples

1.

When Meng Zhiyu learned that the woman he had a crush on was his arranged marriage partner, he was both shocked and delighted.

He was shocked because only the night before, he'd seen her and a male celebrity making headlines with rumors everywhere.

He was delighted because once they were married, he wouldn't be the shameful third party in a relationship.

...Right?

Meng Zhiyu cautiously said, "Even though this is an arranged marriage, I hope your past relationships with men won't be made public, at least. Miss Zhu, what do you think?"

Zhu Qu didn't understand what he meant, but she still nodded. "Of course."

2.

On the day of the engagement banquet, Zhu Fu was sprawled lazily on the sofa in a camisole, a conspicuous purple love bite on her fair neck.

Meng Zhiyu furrowed his brow, suppressing his surging anger. He gripped her chin and leaned in. "You sneak a bite and don't even wipe your mouth clean?"

Zhu Fu gave him a half-smile, pretending not to understand. "What right do you have to question me? As my brother-in-law?"

Brother-in-law?

Before he could think it over, a woman's voice came from behind him. "What are you two doing?"

Oh no, what do you do when you've mistaken the wrong woman for your wife?

3.

Meng Zhiyu knew he was in the wrong. As her lover, he did everything intimate with her and didn't dare complain once.

But he would never be her first choice.

Her rumored boyfriend, her fiance in name only, every one of them mattered more than he did.

Meng Zhiyu bit her lip and asked indistinctly, "Zhu Fu, when can I become official?"

"Isn't it nice the way things are now?"

Reading guide:

1. Happy ending. The female lead is not a virgin, while all male characters are virgins. One-on-one relationships at different stages.

The male lead's arranged marriage to the female lead's older sister exists in name only and lasts for a short time. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, the engagement is called off.

2. The story includes some professional knowledge related to intelligent driving. The author has done research, but the subject is quite obscure, so there may still be mistakes. If you're an expert, please point them out gently. Thank you, dear readers.

3. The author is broke, so the lives of the rich are entirely based on imagination. If I get anything wrong, please tell me! It'll help me learn >·<

The blurb for One Thousand Apples:

"So you're saying that after you worked the night shift looking disheveled, a tall, handsome guy with broad shoulders and a narrow waist was waiting for you outside the ER with your favorite dessert?"

"That's right."

"Are you dreaming, or am I still asleep?"
