Composed After Marriage

At a matchmaking date, Xue Ling finally married the boy she had secretly loved since school.

Xu Jingzhuo was one of Yuncheng's most prominent young heirs: a cool, handsome guy with striking features, tiger fangs, and earrings. His smile carried a hint of careless wickedness, and he was a star both on and off campus.

Xue Ling spent her days holed up in the library, so she rarely had a chance to run into him. Still, she secretly used him as the model for more than one volume of comics.

Bad boy, sweet talker who never knows when to stop, dirty talk... With every stroke, she captured the commanding, overpowering presence of the young man.

Xu Jingzhuo was her type from head to toe.

She really wanted those tiger fangs to sink into her hard 〃 v 〃

They met again three years after graduation. Xu Jingzhuo had shed his youthful air and become a mature, courteous man, every inch the polished executive and chairman of a corporate group.

Their married life was harmonious, one might even say companionable.

Xu Jingzhuo treated her with great respect, especially in bed. He was so gentle and restrained that even when passion took hold and his tiger fangs grazed the skin at the side of her neck, his bite was absurdly light.

Xue Ling wasn't quite satisfied. She felt a little let down. Her husband was wonderful, of course, but...

The Xu Jingzhuo who had once driven her wild should not have been this proper. How had her bad boy turned into such a good one? QAQ!

Their days together were so bland they might as well have been boiled water. Xue Ling couldn't take it anymore, so she gritted her teeth and took action.

Before they made love, her husband went to shower. Swallowing her embarrassment, she followed him in. "Can we shower together? It'll be quicker."

Truthfully, it was because she had never tried it in the bathroom...

On a day off, she carried her camera to her husband's study and knocked. "Honey, could you help me take a few photos of couples' poses for reference?"

Truthfully, she wanted to be grabbed by the waist, pinned against the wall, and lifted by the hips...

Xu Jingzhuo was very obliging. She grew bolder and bolder, until one day, after drinking, she clung to him in a drunken haze.

"Um... could you say some really dirty things to me?"

"It'd be even better if you bit me hard..."

"I really want to know what it feels like to break the bed, sob..."

At last, Xu Jingzhuo looked at her differently.

Xu Jingzhuo finally married the girl he had secretly loved since school.

He remembered her as proper, fond of quiet, and unable to stand childish, rude boys.

He held back his intense desire for her, counting the seconds even when he kissed her, afraid that if he got too rough, he would frighten her.

His wife, sleeping beside him, had once been beyond his reach.

Then he realized something was wrong.

Very wrong :)

Coming soon: Daytime Wedding, Nighttime Kisses

Yu Shuang had lived freely and on her own terms for over twenty years. She had never thought she'd be forced into marriage.

Her family issued an ultimatum: find a suitable marriage partner herself, or accept an arranged marriage. Otherwise, they would cancel all her cards.

At her wits' end, she invited Duan Qinghuai for drinks and complained to him.

"It's not easy to find someone to marry, is it? I can't just grab some random person off the street."

The man stayed perfectly calm as he adjusted the strap slipping off her shoulder, his fingertips brushing its soft skin. "If it's going to be an arranged marriage anyway, why not consider someone you know?"

"Someone I know? Who?"

His broad hand cupped her tipsy cheek. Looking into her unguarded eyes, he murmured, "Me."

Yu Shuang blinked. It didn't sound like such a bad idea.

Duan Qinghuai came from a prestigious family and was refined and well-mannered. He was popular in high society, so her parents would definitely approve.

Besides, they had grown up together. She treated Duan Qinghuai like a real brother, and he treated her like a real sister. No one could be better suited for a marriage of convenience.

*

Their relationship didn't change much after they married. Yu Shuang could even spend money from both her parents and her husband, so she was living better than ever.

Except that he suddenly kissed her in front of all their wedding guests, displayed their affection in front of both sets of parents, and disciplined her as her "big brother and husband" whenever she came home late...

Duan Qinghuai seemed to take his role as her husband extremely seriously.

Yu Shuang just thought he was being professional, occasionally getting too carried away in the role.

After all, she was the one asking him for a favor. She couldn't be too demanding.

Until one night, after drinking, things got out of hand and they nearly turned their pretend marriage into a real one.

Yu Shuang came to her senses halfway through, grabbed her clothes, and fled his room.

She realized they couldn't keep going like this. She asked Duan Qinghuai for a divorce, so they could both be free and he could get out of character. Afterward, they could go back to being siblings.

The night she handed him the divorce papers, the door locked. Their fingers interlaced before the mirror, the huge diamond ring glittering in the light.

Yu Shuang's eyes grew misty with tears. When she looked up, she met his deep gaze. His burning chest pressed against her back, and his scorching breath shamelessly traced its way over her, inch by inch.

"Honey, did you really think I was drunk that night?"

"The brother-and-sister game is over. From now on, you can only call me your husband."

"If you don't say it, I won't stop."

Yu Shuang: Help, QAQ!
