I Woke Up to Find the Abstinent CEO Demanding I Take Responsibility

[Marriage first, love later + everyday life + seven-year age gap + older, fatherly husband] [Pure, guileless science-minded woman vs. celibate, calculating tycoon]

Wen Jie never imagined that she would wake up in bed with Feng Yan, the aloof, celibate, and famously heartless executive who had just arrived as her new boss!

Before she could even gather herself to explain, the man told her to take responsibility.

A marriage certificate bound the two together, despite their vastly different backgrounds.

To the outside world, Feng Yan was a ruthless workaholic who ruled a wealthy family, cold and heartless, with no vulnerabilities. To him, this sudden secret marriage was merely a “work assignment” that needed to be handled properly, one he could end with dignity at any time.

Wen Jie knew that perfectly well. She was just an ordinary girl, worlds apart from him in status. She was prepared to divorce and walk away at any moment, treating the marriage as nothing more than a brief interlude.

But as the days went by, things gradually took an unexpected turn.

The mogul who was supposed to keep things strictly professional slowly began to care for her, until every nerve in his body seemed to respond to her.

He took care of all the little things, favored her in everything, and sheltered her beneath his wing. He became the gentlest, most devoted husband, doting on her until she had not a worry in the world.

One day at a banquet, everyone saw the lofty heir to the Feng family kneel on one knee in front of a woman in full view of the crowd. He gently massaged her foot, changed her into sandals, and announced to everyone, “This is my wife, Wen Jie.”

I accommodate you because I love you. I lift you up because I love you. I’ll always be on your side because I love you.
