Three Years into Their Marriage, the Overbearing CEO Acts Out and Begs Her to Let Loose

[Marriage before love + family alliance + bittersweet romance + older man pursues his wife + healing] Socially anxious, highly sensitive mama's girl vs. celibate, genuinely unhinged CEO Zhou Xingye agreed to marry Lin Qingyu because she was easy to deal with. Even when he left her alone on their wedding night, she neither cried nor made a fuss. He spent three years overseas. Their only contact came when her monthly allowance arrived, and she'd playfully send him a message: "Thanks, boss!" The rest of the time, they went their separate ways. Later, her thoughtfulness became the thing he found most irritating. He desperately wanted to turn this coward into a rule-breaker, to make her run wild in this world. Everyone agreed that Lin Qingyu was innocent and lucky. Her father was in politics, her mother was a movie star, her grandfather lived in a military compound, and her husband was a CEO. Then there was her, the useless one. They seemed to overlook the fact that wealthy families had no room for idle people. Besides serving as a pawn in a marriage alliance, she was good for nothing. For the first twenty years, she was a mama's girl. After marriage, she became a neglected wife left behind by her CEO husband. She kept up a marriage where her husband stayed away and only the money arrived every month for three whole years. But everyone has their limits. After a car accident, she asked her CEO husband, who was busy around the clock, for a divorce. "Why? Is there someone else?" "Yes." She nodded lightly. "Ha. That's your problem. You can't deal with the man you're seeing, so you're trying to deal with me?" The man scoffed, his sharp gaze sweeping over her with the air of someone used to being in control. "Don't forget, our marriage concerns the interests of two families. Love has nothing to do with it." His inner thoughts: He'd tasted the fruit forced on him, so it had better be sweet. The CEO had kept himself pure for nearly thirty years, and gave that as a dowry to his wife. Want to return it? Ha, not a chance!
