After Our Contract Marriage, CEO Gu Breaks His Rules Every Night

A single contract bound two people who had secretly loved each other for seven years as husband and wife.

Gu Yunzhou, the youngest head of the Gu Group, was cold and abstinent, a renowned ice-cold figure in the business world. Qin Zheng, a brilliant jewelry designer, was radiant and independent, the moonlight he had kept hidden in his heart for seven years, never daring to reach for.

A sudden family crisis hastily turned their marriage of convenience into reality. On their wedding night, he handed her a coldly worded contract, its terms clearly laid out: “A marriage of convenience. No interference in each other's lives. Three years.”

She hid the feelings she'd harbored for seven years and signed with a smile, thinking this would be nothing but a hopeless fantasy.

But no one knew that his locked desk drawer held every design sketch she'd made as a student, or how much of his seven years of barely contained love lay behind the burning kiss he gave her the night she drunkenly confronted him.

As business-world conspiracies and family secrets came to light, her “contract husband” began to cross the line. In the study late at night, on the top floor of the company, in the steamy hot springs, he marked her with kisses as his alone... In this marriage game that began with a lie, who would fall first?

“Mrs. Gu,” he said, pinning her against the floor-to-ceiling window, his breath burning hot. “The third clause of the contract: when necessary, the husband has the right to kiss his wife.”

“But the contract never said...” Her breath grew ragged. “That you'd kiss me like this.”
