My Wife Matters More Than My Pride: CEO Gu Drops His Act

[Resilient, independent designer × self-disciplined CEO Gu; long-laid plans; sweet romance, both leads’ first love; eight-year age gap; love grows over time] To reclaim her parents’ inheritance, Lin Qinghua pretended to be weak and became engaged to Gu Yulan, the Gu family’s second son, hoping to secure his support. She thought his aloof, cold demeanor was why he treated her indifferently. It was only when his childhood sweetheart returned from abroad that she finally came to her senses and took the initiative to end their engagement agreement. On the day the engagement was called off, Gu Yuhan, the Gu family’s proud and distinguished cousin, returned from overseas. Lin Qinghua had always been afraid of him and only hoped to sever all ties with the Gu family for good. But after a chance encounter fueled by drink, she walked into the wrong room, got into the wrong bed, and clung to the wrong man… Only after they fell for each other did they learn that it had all been part of someone’s carefully laid plan. The untouchable head of the Gu family knelt on one knee in public, clinging desperately to the hem of her clothes. Gu Yuhan: “If you’re willing to stay, I’ll agree to any condition.” Lin Qinghua: “President Gu, what happened to your dignity?” Gu Yuhan: “I don’t care about that anymore. Compared with winning you back, my wife matters more than my pride.”
