Xu Xuchi first met Pei Jin at a family dinner arranged by their parents.

It was the day Pei Jin returned from abroad. His handsome, distinguished features were tinged with weariness. Sitting far away from him, she couldn’t stop her heart from fluttering.

The Xu family’s fortunes declined, the company went bankrupt, and they were left with tens of millions in debt.

On a rainy night, burning with a fever, Xu Xuchi knocked on Pei Jin’s door.

Pei Jin was nearly thirty, old enough to be thinking about marriage.

At Ms. Song’s request, Xu Xuchi introduced her female friends to Pei Jin.

The man bent down, speaking close to her ear. “You’re setting me up with a girlfriend?”

Xu Xuchi’s legs trembled. “Y-yeah.”

“I think you’d be perfect.”

Xu Xuchi wanted to cry. “I’m only in my early twenties. I’m still young...”

Pei Jin’s gaze lowered, and he chuckled. “You’re not that young.”

Zuìli is a voice actor who has made a name for herself. Her stunning looks landed her an invitation to a variety show, and she became an online sensation. The whole internet started shipping her with a certain male celebrity.

“She’s already so sweet-looking, and her voice is just as sweet!”

“A voice actor and a big star are such a perfect match!”

Rumors spread everywhere. The official Weibo account of the Pei Group posted: “@Zuìli, congratulations to our boss and his wife on their first wedding anniversary!”

Heartbroken shippers flocked to the post to demand answers.

With fans blowing up his phone, Boss Pei carried a pot of freshly made pear water into the room. “Xuchi, wake up and have some pear water to soothe your throat.”

The girl’s skin was fair, and her sleepy voice was sweet and coquettish. “I don’t want any...”

Pei Jin, usually indifferent and distant toward everyone, patiently lifted her and the quilt onto his lap and coaxed her.
