"Lin Xinyue, what are you doing..."
On the bed, Liao Tiru began to shake his hands violently, but the more he struggled, the tighter the stockings wrapped around him.
"Look at this lingerie—doesn't it look great?" Lin Xinyue shifted her phone, revealing a man on the screen with the word "Joy" written on his forehead, a heart on his nose, and most disturbingly, a hand-painted image of "Inner Beauty" on his chest.
Liao Tiru couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his eyes. "Lin Xinyue..."
The nightmare from eight years ago seemed to resurface...
"Haha, Liao Tiru, look at you now! Let me tell you, I don't love you anymore. I'm going to send this photo to the media; it will definitely fetch a good price," Lin Xinyue said triumphantly.
"You dare!" Liao Tiru shouted angrily.
She clicked her tongue and retreated to the foot of the bed, her words sharp: "Why wouldn't I?" Though she sounded tough, there was something genuinely intimidating about him when he got angry.
"You’re finished!" Liao Tiru yelled.
Lin Xinyue raised her chin, acting as if she couldn't care less!
Suddenly, a pair of long legs stretched out. Before Lin Xinyue could react, they clamped down hard, and in the next moment, she found herself lying sideways on the bed, her waist tightly held by Liao Tiru's legs.
Lin Xinyue's face instantly flushed bright red as her entire face was buried in Liao Tiru's chest. The scene was undeniably intimate...
Liao Tiru on the bed was momentarily stunned; the fresh scent brushing against his nose was both refreshing and disorienting. He quietly savored the strange atmosphere created by their closeness.
It was indeed peculiar...
The door swung open, followed by a gasp and then the jubilant cheers of four parents.
"We're finally in-laws!"
"I'm so moved! In-law, your daughter is so bold, engaging in such risqué activities..."
"Let's pick a good day tomorrow and get this wedding planned quickly..."
Only then did the two on the bed snap back to reality. Lin Xinyue scrambled off like her backside was on fire, rolling her way back home.
As for Liao Tiru, he fell into deep contemplation, pondering a very serious question.
When she had leaned over him just now, was that fluttering in his chest excitement or fear?
After a long pause, he seemed to freeze, as if he had come to a terrifying conclusion. He realized... he actually felt quite pleased, and the mirror beside the bed reflected a face wearing a smile...
Oh no, could it be that he was actually falling for her?
This time, the Liao and Lin families were making grand preparations for the wedding. To prevent the reluctant groom Liao Tiru from backing out, the Liao Family Patriarch even went on television to announce it widely.
"Our Tiru is truly blessed to marry such a wonderful wife; as a father, I can finally rest easy..." As he spoke, he nearly shed tears of joy to showcase his happiness.
Beside the television, Liao Tiru wore a serious expression as he pondered one question.
Why had he run away from the wedding eight years ago?
Upon reflection, he realized he didn't actually dislike Lin Xinyue at all. Throughout those eight years of escape, he never thought of anyone else but her.
She was indeed a bit rough around the edges, but when she got serious, she was truly adorable. Especially when she bit on her pencil, her face full of determination as she insisted he teach her geometry; he always felt a sense of greatness in those moments.
He also enjoyed taking her out for ice cream. Every time classmates teased him about having a little girlfriend, he never bothered to refute them.
Liao Tiru suddenly squinted his eyes, recalling how displeased he felt when a boy chased after her to their home when she was seventeen. He had even warned that boy not to come within a hundred meters of the Lin family.
So why did he run away from the marriage? Because… he didn’t want to admit that such a young girl had him "tied down." He had grand ambitions and wanted freedom!
Eight years ago, what he desired most was freedom. Engagement and marriage seemed to him like shackles that would bind him.
Though he might not have fully understood it back then, now that he thought about it carefully, he realized he knew very well in his heart.
He was still young at that time. If things had gone as planned—engagement, marriage, inheriting the family business—he would have surely resented them.
For these eight years, he had used Lin Xinyue's roughness as an excuse to avoid marriage… Suddenly, he felt so despicable!
But now he understood. After all those years of hard work, his wishes had been fulfilled; he had become a well-known producer.
So… he was back.
“Oh no, oh no! Liao Family kid, our Xinyue is missing! There are no flights for her these days,” Lin Family Elder rushed in with panic.
“Her pass and visa aren’t at home either. Could it be… she ran away from the wedding?”
Liao Tiru's heart sank sharply. He jumped up from the sofa: “What is Lin Xinyue doing? The whole country is watching my wedding!”
Only he knew this was just a formality; deep down, he was extremely anxious. Did Lin Xinyue not love him anymore? After all, she had indeed said such things before.
As he thought of this, a wave of bitterness surged in his heart. He quickly dialed a number, only to find that the other party's phone was turned off.
Liao Tiru's face instantly turned ashen. father Lin patted his shoulder sympathetically and said, "My foolish daughter, you'll have to bear with her more in the future."
Liao Tiru straightened his shoulders and replied with determination, " father Lin, don't worry. I won't let her off easily."
"Running away from a wedding is such an outdated trick. I'm heading to the television station right now to get the whole country to help me win her back."
"Huh?" father Lin was taken aback for a moment before quickly catching on. "That's not a bad idea, young man."
"By the way, father Lin, Xinyue's new movie is about to be released. Make sure to check it out; her performance is quite surprising." Remembering how she looked at the airport, Liao Tiru couldn't help but feel a bit proud.
"I have a good eye for talent; Xinyue will definitely become famous..." And surely even more so than the lead actor.
"Speaking of which... you little rascal from the Lin family, you actually set up our Xinyue? Take this!"
"Bang—"
What does it mean to be merciless? Just look at Liao Tiru's handsome face and you'll understand.
It seems that Lin Xinyue's roughness isn't without reason; it must be hereditary!
