My Best Friend's Brother Is So Cold, but I Fell in Love After We Married

Cold, calculating CEO × Clear-headed, softhearted secretary

Her best friend warned her: “My brother, Ding Chengxiao, is cold and abstinent. Stay as far away from him as you can.”

She thought they lived in parallel worlds that would never intersect.

But trying to get over her boyfriend's infidelity, she got drunk at a bar, accidentally spent the night entangled with a man, then fled in a panic.

When they met again the next day, the man had become her new boss.

In the office, he calmly undid his collar and cornered her against the desk.

“Secretary Meng, you slept with me. Aren't you going to give me a proper title?”

“Take responsibility for me, or marry me. Pick one.”

She married him under an agreement, thinking that with a cold, abstinent man, she would spend three years in a sexless marriage, then take the money and leave.

After all, he was the CEO of Ningcheng's Ding Group, while she was just a lowly secretary.

But after they married, he changed. By day, he coolly called her “Secretary Meng,” but at night, he held her close in his arms.

His voice husky, he whispered in her ear:

“Wifey, I can only fall asleep if you hold me.”

“We could think about having a baby, too.”

His tenderness and the restraint he kept losing control of made her fall completely for him.

She thought she had finally found true love, but then she accidentally discovered that this marriage had been his plan from beginning to end.

She left a divorce agreement behind and vanished from his sight.

In the pouring rain, he searched for her like a madman, day and night for several days.

When they met again, the man who had always stood above everyone else was soaked through and kneeling before her.

She reached out, and he immediately buried his face in her palm. His eyes were red, his voice so hoarse it was barely recognizable:

“Wifey, I was wrong.”

“Wifey, can you please not leave me?”
