Marrying Ji Manchuan was the quickest deal Jing Chaoshen had ever closed.
Once the hammer fell, the deal was done.
She was decisive and ruthless on the auction floor.
When news of their marriage broke, her colleagues thought she was destroying her career by getting married in the middle of her rise.
Onlookers speculated about the reason: a business alliance, an accidental pregnancy after a one-night stand, or just a way to appease parents nagging them to marry?
Wearing her wedding ring, Jing Chaoshen stood at the auction podium, brought the gavel down, and presided over one exclusive auction after another. Her professional standing and reputation only grew.
…
One morning, Ji Manchuan held his soft, fragrant wife in his arms and smiled calmly at Jing Chaoshen. “I only get hooked on doing this when it’s with you.”
Jing Chaoshen hesitated, glanced at the man, then took the already signed divorce papers from the bedside table and said coldly, “Then starting today, you can quit.”
…
After getting married, Ji Manchuan added a new item to his schedule: quietly attending auctions conducted by Chaoshen.
He was there at every auction, and whenever the gavel fell, his eyes were on her.
[My beloved will grow, and I’ll be there to witness it. All I need to do is cherish them and give them all the care they need.]
