Xia Jinqi and Yan Jun met for their wedding photos. Although the marriage was arranged, both were struck by the other's appearance. The photographer praised them as a "golden couple," unaware of the arranged nature of their union. Yan Jun then unexpectedly addressed Xia Jinqi as "Mrs. Yan," leaving her stunned.

Fang Shaoan could no longer tolerate the nauseating display of affection from the couple. He rubbed his arms, which were covered in goosebumps, and exited the room. "I really can't stand it. Do we die if we don't flaunt our love for even a minute?! Can't you spare a sliver of humane consideration for us singletons who have been single for ten thousand years?"

The label 'Ten Thousand Years Single Dog' was utterly shocking to Xia Jinqi upon hearing it!

Could Fang Shaoan, a man who had always been surrounded by admirers yet never committed, truly utter such words without a pang of conscience?

Before Xia Jinqi could voice her critique, the man beside her lost his patience. Without awaiting her consent, he simply took her hand and led her away.

His palm, warm and broad, enveloped her hand completely in an instant.

It was akin to wine-filled chocolate; a layer of warmth on the outside, swiftly melting the liquid core within.

An unfamiliar sensation of numbness, like a gentle electric current, spread from her hand to her very heart.

Snapping back to reality, Xia Jinqi instinctively tried to withdraw her hand.

However, the moment she applied even a slight bit of pressure, a far more potent grip immediately restrained her!

She looked up at him in surprise, only to hear his deliberately lowered voice reach her ear. "Don't move. In front of others, we're a loving, newly married couple."

Xia Jinqi was speechless.

So, this was all an act?

The corner of her eye twitched. Indeed, Xia Jinqi ceased her struggle.

The surrounding crowd was observing them, and news of discord would undoubtedly jeopardize this politically motivated marriage.

And she had no intention of losing this marriage.

Yet, Xia Jinqi lifted her gaze towards Yan Jun, who was walking beside her. From her vantage point, she could only see the profile of his face.

Even so, his demeanor remained exceptionally proud.

She found it difficult to fathom that such an aloof and haughty individual would willingly enter into this marriage, yet he showed no outward signs of resistance.

"So, the all-powerful, cold-faced Yan Jun also has moments of yielding?" Xia Jinqi couldn't resist raising her voice. She felt this was an opportune moment for a counterattack!

After all, he had been so harsh with her earlier.

The instant Xia Jinqi's words left her lips, the man beside her was visibly provoked.

He halted, his icy gaze sweeping over her, radiating an intense anger.

However, Xia Jinqi preempted any outburst. She deliberately moved closer, affectionately linking her arm through his. Clearing her throat, she exclaimed, "Darling, do you think this dress suits me?"

With that, she deliberately lifted the hem of her skirt, awaiting Yan Jun's response with a smile.

Yan Jun was speechless.

He desperately wanted to shake off this woman clinging to him!

He was a germaphobe and detested being touched by others!

Just as he was about to act, he noticed the stylist and photographer behind them watching with curious expressions.

Veins threatened to bulge on his forehead. Yan Jun had no choice but to comply, responding through gritted teeth, "It looks... fine."

Was this woman seeking retribution?

Very well, she possessed courage.

He found that intriguing!

Xia Jinqi's smile widened with delight!

She had discovered his vulnerability and intended to exploit it fully.
