The day the Su family went bankrupt, Su Yining was summoned back to China to marry into another family in place of her twin sister, Su Yixin.
Her father said, “Either get married to save the company, or the whole family will be sleeping on the streets.”
Her mother said, “Xinxin is in poor health. We can’t force her into marriage.”
Gritting her teeth, she went to the matchmaking meeting. When the private room door opened, she saw a man sitting inside in a sharp suit. His eyes, behind pale-tinted glasses, were unreadable.
It was Shen Xingye, her ex-boyfriend, whom she had dumped five years ago.
“Miss Su, long time no see.” He tapped the contract with his fingertips, his voice rising at the end, almost smug. “I hear you’re looking for someone to marry?”
She kept her composure. “If President Shen came to have a laugh at my expense, you can go ahead.”
Instead, he suddenly leaned closer, turbulent emotions churning in his eyes.
“You dumped me so decisively back then, leaving without a word. And now you’d rather marry anyone than come back and ask me?”
Later…
Forced to sign a “business marriage agreement,” she moved into his villa.
Everyone said Shen Xingye had married her for revenge. Then one day, drunk, he pinned her against the wall and murmured hoarsely, “Ningning, do you really think I waited five years for you… just to get revenge?”
