Chaste and Restrained in Public, Passionately Spoiling His Wife Every Night

[The powerful one bows his head + contract marriage + the husband grovels to win his wife back]

Xu Yiqing looked soft and easy to bully, but quietly pulled off something earth-shattering: she successfully outmaneuvered Gu Huaizhou.

Everyone in Beijing’s high society knew that Gu Huaizhou, the golden boy from a distinguished and prestigious family, was famously cold and ruthless, decisive, and merciless in his methods.

Everyone thought Xu Yiqing was surely doomed.

Who would have guessed?

“Marry me. For three years.”

The man spoke with not a trace of warmth in his voice. “For those three years, we’ll be business partners. No falling in love with each other. I don’t want anyone crying and making a fuss when we divorce three years from now.”

This marriage was something Xu Yiqing had risked her life to scheme her way into, all to get revenge on the mother and daughter of the Xu family.

She would get her revenge and avoid being killed, then divorce him three years later. It couldn’t be better.

Xu Yiqing readily agreed.

From then on, Gu, the abstinent and self-controlled young master, played the part in public. In private, he was like a wolf who could never get enough, doing everything in his power to shower his new bride with affection night after night.

Watching Gu Huaizhou act so restrained and abstinent in public, Xu Yiqing had assumed he was an unusual exception among domineering CEOs, someone with no interest in desire.

She never expected this sham marriage born of a scheme to be such a sweet deal. She was even getting so much “nourishment” that it was becoming too much to handle.

But wait!

They had agreed not to fall in love, and to keep their relationship physical, with no feelings involved. So why was the whole thing starting to feel off as time went on?

“Qingqing, you bought him a present. I’m your man, and you’ve never bought me one.”

Wait, what?

Why does it sound like the vinegar jar at home just tipped over?
