At nineteen, Jiang Yining fell for He Chi—their only connection being that he was the son of her high school teacher.

She lived her life by the book, while he was carefree and unrestrained. Jiang Yining knew all too well that nothing could ever happen between them, so she buried her feelings deep within her heart.

Over the course of eight years, she saw He Chi only a handful of times, and all news of him came merely through word of mouth.

She never expected their next meeting to be under such an awkward and embarrassing circumstance.

After two years apart, He Chi had become even more composed and nonchalant. With a close-cropped haircut, dressed in a black T-shirt and knee-length shorts, he exuded a cool indifference. His bare forearms radiated strength and ease.

He helped her out of a blind date fiasco and sent her home. Then, not long after, he asked, “Jiang Yining, have you ever considered marrying me?”

When friends found out that He Chi had suddenly gotten married, none of them believed it—until he tossed out the marriage certificate in front of their eyes.

Everyone burst into laughter, teasing, “Who exactly is this Sister-in-law, to make our free-spirited, untamable Brother Chi willingly bury himself in the grave of marriage?”

Then they met the elegant and gentle Jiang Yining. Watching her soft smile, everyone could only look at He Chi with pure envy in their eyes.

＊

After the wedding, someone mentioned to He Chi that Jiang Yining had harbored a secret crush for years.

He laughed it off, saying he didn’t mind, but inside, he was burning with jealousy.

One night, no longer able to hold back the sourness in his heart, He Chi pinned her beneath him, his voice hoarse as he asked,

“Wife, just who is that man?”
