Stealing a Kiss in the Spring Tide

Spoiled, dazzling heiress * refined, scheming capitalist Xu Yijin and Xu Cangyue had shared their feelings for years, each occupying the best part of the other's youth. Xu Cangyue once thought they would go from dating to marriage. Eventually, she saw the truth: Xu Yijin was a butterfly that had settled in her garden. He often stopped by, but cherished his freedom above all. In the end, the person she married was Xu Yijin's older brother, Xu Yanli. He was the formidable head of a conglomerate, cool-headed and composed, refined and elegant. A business tycoon everyone respected, he was also an elder Xu Cangyue felt she had to treat with reverence. When news of their marriage broke, their entire social circle was in an uproar. Amid all the criticism, their marriage eventually reached the brink of collapse. Xu Yanli and Xu Cangyue had been married for three years and living apart for two. People speculated that Xu Yanli would end the marriage as soon as he returned to the country. No one was lucky enough to witness what really happened. Xu Cangyue straddled Xu Yanli, bossing him around. She pulled off his glasses and imperiously demanded money. Xu Yanli only gazed at her, one brow raised, and asked if that was enough. At a family gathering, a scene from their wedding day played out once more. Out of sight, Xu Yijin held Xu Cangyue tight... This time, Xu Yanli pulled her into his arms and bent down to kiss her passionately. Their breaths mingled, and he seemed only then to notice someone nearby. He drew her into his embrace and slowly turned to look at the younger brother he had not seen in years. His gaze softened slightly as he introduced her in an even tone: “Xiao Jin, this is your sister-in-law.” Loving someone is not absurd.
