[Marriage first, love later + Older male lead + Age gap]
[The vengeful heiress vs. the powerful, influential tycoon]
Nie Wanning, the eldest daughter of the Nie family, devoted three years of her heart and soul to turning Lu Jingchen from a nobody into a rising star in the business world.
But at their engagement banquet, he put his arm around her stepsister and announced that she was his true love.
“You were nothing but a stepping stone to me.”
Nie Wanning smiled, champagne in hand.
Then she turned and walked straight over to the man in the wheelchair, a man still feared by the entire business world: Lu Jingchen’s uncle, Lu Siheng.
“Little Uncle, I hear you’re looking for a wife?” she whispered in his ear.
“I need a knife, and you need legs. How about we team up?”
The man looked up, a foxlike gleam flashing in his deep eyes.
The next day, headlines across the city announced: Nie Wanning was about to become Lu Jingchen’s aunt.
Watching Lu Jingchen’s face turn ashen, Nie Wanning smiled sweetly. “Be good and call me Aunt.”
Everyone thought she had gone mad. Marrying a disabled man was just another reckless gamble.
But when someone tried to attack Lu Siheng, Nie Wanning, in ten-centimeter stilettos, kicked the culprit straight into the Huangpu River.
“My husband. Who dares lay a hand on him?”
The usually aloof Lu Siheng suddenly caught her by the wrist. “Madam, does what you said that night still stand?”
“Which part?”
“The part about teaming up.” He pulled her into his arms.
“I’ve changed my mind. I don’t just want us to team up. You’re not getting rid of me for the rest of your life.”
