A passionate, radiant red rose x a refined, mysterious moon veiled in mist
He Weizhen is the famous daughter of a wealthy jewelry merchant in City A. She has a fortune to her name and is breathtakingly beautiful. She's had countless admirers her whole life, but she has one flaw: she loses interest after three minutes.
Her looks-focused, impatient nature makes it hard for ordinary men to catch her attention. Even if someone happens to catch her eye at first, she forgets him within a couple of days and goes right back to her wild social life.
To keep her in line, her family finds her a marriage prospect. But at the party where they meet, she falls in love at first sight with a handsome man whose name she doesn't know...
He has striking features and intense eyes, especially those slightly upturned outer corners that lend him a tempting, come-hither look. He's the best of the best! With such a handsome man before her, she completely forgets why she came...
Strangely, despite his seductive face, he has an elegant, reserved air. The contrast makes many people at the party, who are itching to approach and ask for his contact information, hesitate.
But He Weizhen never hesitates.
She takes a small sip of red wine, then glides over to him in her limited-edition heels. Her red lips part as she makes the first move:
-
He Tingning is the youngest chief physician in the cardiothoracic surgery department at City A First People's Hospital. He is refined and handsome, with a scholarly air. With looks like his, he should never be short of admirers.
But he's devoted to medicine and has never been interested in anyone. After earning his master's and doctorate in one continuous program, he went straight to work. Ever since, he's been so busy that he has had no time for romance.
His family is even more displeased with him now. After much plotting, they insist on arranging a marriage prospect for him...
The whole thing gives He Tingning a headache.
He defied his family when he chose to study medicine. If he refuses to go along with this marriage arrangement too, his career as a doctor will be over!
At the party, He Tingning recognizes He Weizhen at a glance. Before he can even move, his marriage prospect approaches him gracefully, taking the initiative:
But she doesn't seem to recognize him at all... What's more, her eyes are filled with interest and determination. That's not the way someone looks at a marriage prospect.
It's more like she's looking at... prey?
His brow twitches. For once, he feels like teasing someone, so he smiles and plays along with her flirtatious act. "Mm. Want to come with me?"
"Right now?" She hands him her glass and smiles mischievously.
He Tingning doesn't answer her question. He simply drains his glass of red wine, then takes her hand and leads her out of the party in full view of everyone.
Later, the two of them spend the night wandering along the Xiangjiang River, their flirtation growing more and more charged. Just as things heat up, He Weizhen gets a call from her family:
"Zhenzhen, you met that He boy tonight, right? How was he? Did you like him?"
He Weizhen pouts and doesn't bother to hide anything. Right in front of He Tingning, she answers, "Nope. You never even showed me a picture of him. All I knew was that he was twenty-eight and had never been in a relationship. That means he's either ugly or useless! Maybe he knew he wasn't good enough for me and ran away at the last minute..."
Before she can finish, the phone is snatched away! The call cuts off... and in an instant, their positions are completely reversed! Dazed and terrified, she looks up at him.
Before she can ask anything, the man's warm breath brushes her ear. His voice sounds displeased:
"You think I'm ugly?"
Speechless for a moment, He Weizhen immediately shakes her head.
Seeing that doesn't make He Tingning any happier. His gaze grows darker as he presses her down more firmly.
"If I'm not ugly... then I'm useless?" He imitates her earlier tone as he asks.
He Weizhen looks troubled. "...I don't know that yet."
At that, the man laughs in anger. He tosses the phone aside and launches his attack. "I'll make sure you find out."
As he promised, she did find out... and she was truly scared.
Weren't men supposed to be past their prime by twenty-five?
Why is he getting more energetic with age?
#Apparently, you can't trust a man just because he seems gentle and aloof#
#Why is this twenty-eight-year-old man so aggressive?#
#After telling your marriage prospect to his face that he's useless...#
