Lu Chengxuan first met Xu Zhening at a banquet hosted by the Xu family.
Amid the clinking glasses, her mother, a finance professor, introduced them. “Chengcheng, this is my star student, Xu Zhening.”
The man had a face so cool and refined that he seemed born to wear elegant gold-rimmed glasses, yet instead he wore a plain, simple pair of black frames.
They did nothing to diminish his captivating looks.
Whatever emotion flickered in his slightly upturned eyes, it made everything seem bright and beautiful.
The entertainment industry was never short on beauties, but this young man was exactly to Lu Chengxuan’s taste.
As they shook hands, she brushed her fingers over the back of his hand and asked, “Mr. Xu, would you be interested in a matchmaking date and marriage?”
-
As one of the entertainment industry’s rising stars, Lu Chengxuan was not only stunningly beautiful, but also outstanding in both her line delivery and acting.
Yet even a dazzling celebrity could not escape the pressure from her elders to get married.
And so Lu Chengxuan married Xu Zhening, the man with the face of her dreams, in a whirlwind wedding.
Lu Chengxuan worked hard to outdo her peers in the entertainment industry, while Xu Zhening made waves in the business world. They could count their meetings on one hand.
Their marriage had no humdrum domestic routine, nor was it a picture of mutual respect. Instead, his sister, a doting younger-brother fanatic, belittled Lu Chengxuan without restraint.
In a fit of anger, Lu Chengxuan went home holding their divorce certificate.
Her grandfather was so upset he threatened to starve himself, her mother called her a heartbreaker, and her father reproached her for betraying sincere love.
Had Xu Zhening stolen her whole family?
-
Xu, the head of the Xunuo Group, had an exceptionally handsome face, yet his personality was bland and dull.
People said, “Mr. Xu belongs in a display case where people can admire him, not as someone to marry.”
When news of Xu Zhening’s secret marriage came out, everyone felt sorry for his wife.
Until one day, during Lu Chengxuan’s livestream, Mr. Xu appeared on camera with tea and snacks, his voice as gentle as water. “Chengcheng, take a break.”
