When Misty Spring Returns

[Modern romance, sweet and healing] [She falls in love after marriage; his secret crush finally comes true] Scene One: To ruin her blind date, Xu Nianzhi showed up in pajamas and slippers, without a speck of makeup, ready to scare the man off. But sitting across from her was Lin Wang, the desk mate she'd been closest to in high school! The gloomy, melancholy, impoverished top student had transformed into a rising star in tech, dressed in a sharp suit and radiating confidence. “Miss Xu, I have a car, a house, and savings. No exes, no difficult in-laws. Think it over and give me a chance.” Xu Nianzhi rejected him without a second thought. “Sorry, I'm not good enough for you!” She had no idea that what she thought was a coincidence was actually a plan the man had carefully laid. From the moment Lin Wang learned that Xu Nianzhi was his blind date, he had resolved to marry her. Scene Two: To escape her mother's endless pressure to get married, Xu Nianzhi registered her marriage with Lin Wang, thinking of it as “just teaming up to get through life.” She'd heard rumors that Lin Wang, the tech tycoon, was a strange man who had no interest in women, and was certain he wouldn't make a move on her. Until one night, the bedroom light stayed on until morning. Xu Nianzhi held her aching lower back and cursed the people who'd spread the rumor that Lin Wang was “the cold, indifferent type.” … After they married, Lin Wang was considerate in every way and doted on Xu Nianzhi without limit. At first, Xu Nianzhi thought he was simply doing what a husband was supposed to do. Then one night, he leaned close and whispered in her ear, “Nian Nian, do you know? The day I watched you walk toward me in that cafe, I was already imagining what it would be like to have you as my wife…” There had never been spring in my life until you came along and brought it with you.
