An abstinent cardiac surgeon x a sweet, growing translator heroine

The main story is complete. A daily-life sweet romance with no melodrama.

-

On the eve of her engagement, Jiang Qiao sees her boyfriend passionately kissing someone else with her own eyes.

At her most miserable moment, Pei Zhihe’s tall figure appears at her side. Behind gold-rimmed glasses, his deep dark eyes rest on her as he asks coolly, “Catching a cheater, or coming with me?”

Not caring that this man is her fiancé’s older brother,

as if bewitched, Jiang Qiao takes hold of that long, elegant hand.

A few days later, the elders bring up the marriage arrangement with the Pei family again.

Jiang Qiao makes the boldest decision of her more than twenty years of life and impulsively marries Pei Zhihe.

-

Everyone knows that Pei Zhihe, the eldest son of the Pei family, is graceful and upright by nature, aloof by temperament, and was crowned the godlike hand of cardiac surgery at a young age.

In Berlin before Christmas, snow fills the air.

During his speech at an academic forum, the wedding ring on Professor Pei’s ring finger flashes, shocking everyone senseless.

For a time, the whole hospital bets that the marriage of such a heaven-favored man must be nothing more than a show.

Until after the meeting, someone sees the impeccably dressed Pei Zhihe kneeling on one knee to tie the shoelaces of the beautiful translator traveling with him.

As he rises, the young woman pretends she is about to kiss him.

Pei Zhihe’s Adam’s apple bobs, his gaze burning yet restrained.

“Be good. Tease me when we get back to the room.”
