You Made Me Your Kept Lover, So Why Are We Playing at Secretly Pining?

[Proud heiress × cold-faced fox of a man + Fake relationship + He likes her without realizing it + Grown-up push and pull + Slow burn + Bittersweet romance + Happy ending]

After falling on hard times, Miss Wen makes a living by leaking gossip. She has morals, just not many.

One fake rumor she posted, claiming that Chi Ye, CEO of Weichi Entertainment, had secretly married, shot straight to the top of the trending charts. That’s how the capitalist big shot set his sights on her.

Apologize, quit the internet, and take on a debt: the whole package.

The good news: her new creditor has plenty of money.

The bad news: her new creditor needs a bedmate.

Chi Ye doesn’t ask for much.

Twice a week, for one month.

Well fed and pampered, Wen Ruoning can’t help falling a little for the cold-faced fox, who turns out to be a real fox of a man in private.

But a young lady never chases a man.

-

Back in middle school, Chi Ye felt no affection for Wen Ruoning. He was convinced that a man with a heart like Wen Lisheng’s couldn’t have raised a decent daughter.

No matter how radiant Wen Ruoning was, or how much kindness she showed him, Chi Ye saw it all as hypocrisy.

Wen Lisheng killed himself, Shenglang went bankrupt, and the Wen family was ruined. He thought he’d feel satisfied.

But he didn’t.

The most innocent one, Wen Ruoning, received the most tangible punishment.

He hurt her and treated her lightly. His feelings for Wen Ruoning came too late, so he couldn’t believe he might ever get what he wanted.

Insecure and possessive, he trapped himself in his own web.

But once he comes to his senses, he comes to his senses. Even if his wife doesn’t want him, he’ll cling on and stay at her place.

On their wedding night, they’re so awkward you’d think they’ve never done this before.

Though they’ve long since become intimate, they inexplicably start playing at innocent romance.

-

“Chi Ye, when I’m rich, I’m going to buy you as my kept man.”

The man hands her a card.

“What’s this for?”

“To buy me.”
