I Rented a CEO as My Boyfriend, but He Won't Leave Me Alone

My family nagged me so relentlessly to get married that I was pulling my hair out. In a fit of anger, I rented a boyfriend through an app.

On the day we met, I was stunned. The man standing in front of me was none other than Jiang Yan, my aloof, celibate boss at work.

“Manager Lin, the contract’s signed. I’m at your beck and call, and I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.” He waved his phone with a meaningful smile.

I thought it was just a business arrangement, but he got far too into character.

When my mother fell ill, he drove through the night to bring her medicine. When my relatives gave me a hard time, he shut them all up with, “I’ll take care of her.” Even my family’s vicious dog wagged its tail when it saw him.

Then one day, my mother took his hand, eyes brimming with tears. “Son, from now on, don’t call me Auntie. Call me Mom.”

He smiled and called her “Mom.” That very night, he showed up with the contract to settle accounts with me.

“Lin Wanwan, you’ve used up your allowance. Time to renew.”

“...For how long?”

He pulled me into his arms. “For life. No refunds or exchanges.”

Only later did I learn that this “rental” had been a trap he’d been plotting for a long time.

And I, once mocked for trying to marry above my station, had already been cherished by him into becoming the true lady of the Jiang family.
