A Distant Wedding, A Peaceful Life

Xingbao’s new novel, The Heartthrob of Mr. Yu, is now available. That face could captivate the world, yet he’s so restrained and chaste that he makes your heart itch with longing. When Xu Miaomiao was young, she was a beautiful girl with a cool demeanor. She was steady and sensible, and came first in her class every year. Everyone said Xu Miaomiao was destined for a bright future. When she was eighteen, Xu Miaomiao said, “Mom, I want to be with Ning Yuan. We’ll get married someday, too.” Mrs. Xu couldn’t stop herself from slapping her. “You want to be with a scumbag like Ning Yuan? What could someone from a family like his possibly offer you? If you get together with him, I’ll break your legs.” Later, Xu Miaomiao did get together with Ning Yuan, and her legs stayed intact. It was Xu’s father who broke his leg. * When he was young, Ning Yuan was arrogant and unruly, a street bully and a rebellious teenager. He was handsome, ruthless, and vicious. As an adult, Ning Yuan became smooth and worldly, conducting business with ruthless efficiency. But when he looked at Xu Miaomiao, his smile was warm and pure. When you were young, did you ever love someone like that, staying steadfast even when the whole world opposed you? Later, Ning Yuan became a business tycoon, and rumors had it that women were always coming and going from his side. Someone with more courage than sense asked Ning Yuan, “Mr. Ning, you’re so handsome and so successful in business. You must have had plenty of women, right?” A warm curve touched Ning Yuan’s lips. “For the rest of my life, one Miaomiao is all I need.” (One-on-one romance; both leads have only ever been with each other.) (Recommended completed novels by Xingbao: Miss Jiang, Don’t Go; A Long Road to Love, Where Yuan Meets An; and Mr. Yu’s Dearest Treasure.)
