He is Lovestruck in the Revenge by Gu Nanxi

Chapter 295: 288: At night, outdoors, inside a car (second watch) Chapter 295: 288: At night, outdoors, inside a car (second watch) Wen Changling admitted it was indeed the case, “And you, what sort of impression did you have of me?” Before Xie Shang could answer, she threatened a bit cruelly, “If you say you have no impression, I will bite you.”

He had an impression.

Xie Shang still remembered when he was lighting incense for the guests at the Gu Family’s home, she watched from upstairs for a long time but he didn’t know what she was looking at.

At that time, he didn’t understand her, but strangely thought of a type of incense, suitable for her, very much like her. The fragrance was faint, yet it lingered for a long time, hard to remove, and just before it dissipated, that was when the scent was at its strongest. It had a name with a not-so-positive meaning—jiu mu, the jiu mu that implied imminent decay and death.

Xie Shang didn’t say this part.

“It was raining at the time, I was holding an umbrella, I couldn’t see your face clearly, only your hands, and I thought your wrists were so slender that with my strength, it would be very easy to break the bones.”

Such vulnerable bones, yet she had set her sights on tricking him right from their first encounter.

Miss Wen was truly bold.

“Why would you think that?” Wen Changling said, “You’re so strange.”

“Yes, I am strange.”

It was indeed fragile Miss Wen who, later on, got the better of him, causing him pain, making him cry, and making him now uncontrollably turn his head to gently kiss the bones of her wrist.

Xie Shang felt it was all preordained, that he was destined to fall into Miss Wen’s hands. Many people asked him why, why it was Wen Changling, why he fell in love with her.

It was hard to say, there were many reasons. He loved the calmness in her eyes when she hid her claws, loved the bold words and blushing ears when she deliberately bewitched and seduced him, loved her soul, as mad as his own, loved her clear-cut goals and sense of right and wrong, loved her delicacy and intelligence, loved how in her youth she fearlessly blocked before her mother with a broom to chase away ill-intentioned people, even loved the way she once did not love him—as long as she was Wen Changling, that was enough, the three characters of Wen Changling had mysteriously taken root in him since his youth, from hatred to love, it was a matter of time.
