Pillowside Passion

She’s stunning, she’s extraordinary.

She went to great lengths to become my wife, the one who holds my heart.

Du Qingting is a free spirit, wild and unrestrained, but on her first day back in the country, she’s roped into an arranged blind date with someone notoriously cold, sharp-tongued, and old-fashioned.

Just imagining the dull, monotonous married life ahead made her cringe.

Without a second thought, Du Qingting bought a plane ticket that same night and fled.

On her escape, she met a mysterious, captivating beauty.

This woman was open-minded, charming, and gentle.

They explored a small island together, with Du Qingting venting about her miserable life and that insufferably serious blind date.

At night, their fingers entwined in each other’s hair, the woman softly asked, “So, how about a seven-day whirlwind romance with me? We’ll part ways after the adventure.”

Later, the woman mysteriously vanished.

Du Qingting, still savoring the thrill, remained infatuated for a long time.

Back home, facing marriage pressures, she called her arranged match and declared, “Sorry, I’m a free spirit. We’re not compatible. I’m not interested, and I can’t love you.”

The voice on the other end, dangerous yet alluring, replied, “Oh? But that’s not what you said when we were falling in love.”

Du Qingting: “?!?!”

This woman!

On their wedding night, her arranged match hooked an arm around her neck and teased, “So, am I still that dull, boring antique who couldn’t spark your interest in marriage?”

In short: She went to great lengths, using every trick in the book to marry me. On our wedding night, her true colors showed.

She told me, if I was so mad, I should get even and make her cry.

Then she kicked me off the bed, calling me useless.

But when she said it, her eyes were full of affection, almost like a compliment.

By day, she’s cold and distant, yet during meetings, her gaze keeps drifting to me.
I get it.

Yup, she’s totally in love with me.

Her: “Idiot, come to my office.”
