Ninety-Three Traffic Lights

[Completed. The next book, Weather Anomaly, will be available in my column~]

Married first, love later | A marriage of convenience | No secret crushes

When Shi Funian learned that her arranged marriage partner was Xie Cong, she flat-out refused.

She would never spend her life treating someone with mutual respect when he had deliberately sabotaged her graduation project in college.

"If I marry Xie Cong, I'll take his surname," Shi Funian swore from her seat in a bar booth.

A friend kindly reminded her, "Why don't you... check who's sitting behind you?"

Shi Funian turned around and met a pair of indifferent eyes.

Great. He'd heard her talking behind his back, so there was no way this marriage could happen now.

Just as Shi Funian thought everything was settled and prepared to call off the engagement, she received the news that Xie Cong had had a crush on her for ages.

Shi Funian was so angry her teeth ached. He had definitely done it on purpose, just to get back at her.

After the wedding, Shi Funian paid little attention to her new husband and continued doing whatever she pleased.

One day, the man sat on the sofa in a suit, looking every bit the refined gentleman. "I think we need to talk."

Shi Funian silently rolled her eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me you were working late and wouldn't be coming home a few days ago?"

Shi Funian pressed her lips into a straight line. "You should remember what you are to me. This is a marriage of convenience. Stop interfering in my life. If you can't accept that, we can get divorced right now."

Xie Cong raised an eyebrow. "You can forget about it."

Shi Funian: ...

Xie Cong was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and life had always gone smoothly for him. The first time he hit a wall was at his college graduation ceremony, when a girl inexplicably rolled her eyes at him.

The second time was when he heard her say she didn't want to marry someone like him.

The third time was when he fell in love with her.

Clear-headed and carefree × mischievous, handsome and flashy

Tips:

1. The male lead did not sabotage the female lead's graduation project, and he did not have a secret crush on her. It was all a misunderstanding.

Coming next: Weather Anomaly---

At twenty-five, just as her job was finally becoming stable, Jing Yi was introduced to a potential husband by her family and impulsively married Xu Xing.

Not long afterward, Xu Xing flew off to America. The next time she saw him was the following winter.

She heard from her coworkers that a new senior executive had recently arrived at the group. He was a cold and distant, refined and handsome man.

As the people around her discussed the wedding ring on their boss's left ring finger, Jing Yi glimpsed the subject of their conversation walking into the stairwell.

Her phone suddenly rang inside her bag.

Making sure no one was paying attention, Jing Yi pushed open the stairwell door.

The phone stopped ringing just as the door closed.

The man stood by the window and looked up at her. "Are you coming home for dinner tonight?"

Jing Yi often thought she and Xu Xing would get divorced sooner or later. After all, a marriage without a foundation of love was bound to fall apart one day.

Until one night, she stood outside the study and heard someone ask Xu Xing, "When are you and Jing Yi getting divorced?"

Jing Yi moved closer to the room. She wanted to find out what he thought so she could plan how to divide their assets in advance.

Unexpectedly, the man's low voice reached her ears. "We're very much in love. We won't get divorced."
