Heartbeat Echo [Marriage First, Love Later]

Wen Huai never dreamed that she would secretly marry Xu Youjing, the object of her secret crush.

Xu Youjing's cold eyes darkened. Even when drunk, she remembered not to expose their relationship. A self-mocking smile touched his thin, cold lips. He reminded her impatiently:

"It's after work now, Wen Huai."

Wen Huai didn't understand what he meant, her eyes moist as she looked at him. Feeling a surge of heat from her gaze, Xu Youjing tightened his grip around her slender waist, his breath falling on her neck.
