[The chase is on, and he regrets everything]
The news that the Shen and Jiang families were joining forces through marriage sent all of Haishi into an uproar.
Everyone knew Shen Ye, the head of the Shen family, as a ruthless, cold-blooded man.
And Jiang Keli was a ravishing beauty who could be surrounded by men without ever being controlled by them.
Before the wedding, the two sat face-to-face.
Jiang Keli's eyes were dewy, like a fawn's. "May I ask what Mr. Shen wanted to see me about today?"
Shen Ye slid an agreement over to her. "A year from now, we go our separate ways."
Seeing the figure in the agreement, Jiang Keli raised an eyebrow. "How generous of you, Mr. Shen."
Shen Ye looked at her expressionlessly. "Does Miss Jiang have any other requests?"
Jiang Keli curved her red lips. "I hope you will absolutely, positively never fall for me, Mr. Shen."
Shen Ye let out an amused laugh.
He would have to be dead before he fell for a woman like her.
A year later, on the night their agreement expired, Jiang Keli turned twenty-seven.
After thirteen hours on a plane, Shen Ye arrived, weary from the journey.
Fireworks lit up the night sky. Beneath the dazzling shower of lights, she stood in the middle of the terrace, her skirt swaying, while a man knelt before her with a ring in his hand.
The wind swept the hair from Shen Ye's forehead, revealing his deep, sharp eyes.
He walked over. The man, standing in his shadow, looked up in alarm. The moment he met Shen Ye's unfathomable gaze, his bravado crumbled.
"M-Mr. Shen, Keli and I..."
"Her surname is Jiang," Shen Ye interrupted. "Or you can call her Mrs. Shen."
With that, Shen Ye pinched the proposal ring between two fingers.
"A ring of this quality doesn't deserve to be on my wife's hand." He flicked his wrist. The ring clinked as it rolled into the darkness in a corner.
"Shen Ye!" Jiang Keli finally frowned.
Shen Ye wrapped an arm around her waist, his breath brushing her ear.
"A year ago, you said you hoped I wouldn't fall for you."
"But I've changed my mind."
His thumb grazed her lips. His voice was low and husky. "Jiang Keli, I'm claiming your heart."
