Newly rising star Jiang Ruannuan never dreamed that the man she married in a whirlwind wedding would be the heir to a top-tier conglomerate.
At an awards banquet, Jiang Ruannuan saw a face that looked just like her secretly married husband's. Startled, she hurried home. Hearing the clatter of pots and pans in the kitchen, she threw herself into the man's arms. “Honey, I just saw that old Mr. Gu. His face looks exactly like yours. He scared me to death.”
The man's expression stiffened. He gently stroked her back. “There, there. He's so old. How could he compare to me?”
“Exactly!”
He couldn't compare!
Later, somehow, word got out about Jiang Ruannuan's secret marriage. The news spread like wildfire, and fans turned against her. The internet was full of abuse, while the media packed the airport until it was completely blocked.
“Miss Jiang, are the rumors about you online true? Who is the man? Were you pregnant before you got married?”
The reporters thrust their microphones at her, their eyes fixed on her slightly rounded belly as they closed in.
“I...”
Jiang Ruannuan stared helplessly at the huge crowd in front of her, nervously clutching her clothes.
“Looks like you're very interested in my family affairs.”
Gu Shenglan appeared before her as if from nowhere and pulled her protectively into his arms. “Don't worry. I'm here.”
His gaze softened as he looked down at her, but when he looked up, his eyes turned icy.
“No outsider gets to question someone who belongs to me, Gu Shenglan!”
Everyone knew that Gu Shenglan, head of the Gu family and a man at the top of the food chain, was ruthless and cold-hearted. Cross Gu Shenglan, and you crossed every person with power!
