A prickly heiress who loves money x a cunning, spendthrift CEO
[Reunion after years apart + long-planned scheme + happy ending]
After high school, the boy she had held dear suddenly vanished without a trace. Mo Ran had people search for him for a long time, but they never found him. Then an accident made her give up. At twenty-seven, Lan Shan suddenly showed up to propose, catching Mo Ran completely off guard.
“Mr. Lan, I don’t think we’ve met before.”
“No, we haven’t. But I’ve long heard that Miss Mo is exceptionally gifted and refined, and that she’s a shrewd and outstanding negotiator in business. After meeting you today, I can see you’re truly a beauty beyond compare.” Lan Shan met Mo Ran’s gaze without the slightest hesitation as he answered.
He’s quite the smooth talker, Mo Ran thought to herself.
“How much bride price will I get if I marry you?” Mo Ran asked when they were alone.
“Everything I own.”
“But I don’t have a dowry.”
“That’s fine. I only hope you’ll let us develop the land in the east of the city.”
“Deal.” Mo Ran was honestly afraid he’d ask for nothing. Otherwise, she would have suspected he was up to something shady.
After they married, Mo Ran only wanted to live off his money, while Lan Shan wanted to have a sweet romance with his wife. Just as Mo Ran was falling deeper into Lan Shan’s carefully laid plans, she discovered a photograph of that boy in their home. How will CEO Lan handle this? Read on to find out...
