Three Years Into Their Contract Marriage, the Cold CEO Begs for Love With Red-Rimmed Eyes

[Marriage first, love later / A powerful man loses control / Older man]

The heir to the Shang family marries a flower shop owner, an utterly ordinary woman among the teeming crowds.

The news causes a sensation.

When his friends ask about it, Shang Yanxu replies coolly, without a hint of emotion, “She's not my type. I married her because Grandma likes her.”

“It's all the same whoever I marry. Marrying her is just less hassle.”

Before the wedding, they agree on three rules.

1. They will discuss the contract, not their feelings.

2. She must help Shang Yanxu deal with his family.

3. When the agreement expires, she will receive 50 million yuan.

Until...

Ruan Ning accidentally sleeps with Shang Yanxu.

After one wild night, Ruan Ning wakes up the next morning, grabs her suitcase, and runs.

The usually aloof and dignified CEO floods her with messages like a pitiful stray cat.

“My first time was precious. You think saying sorry is enough?”

“Then what do you want?”

Shang Yanxu chuckles. “You have to make it up to me.”

Ruan Ning agrees. When she prepares to divorce him, she gives him all the company shares and cash she has.

Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ruan Ning hands him the contract. “This is ten million yuan and a share transfer agreement. Sign it, and it's all yours.”

“Who wants your money? I want you to take responsibility.”

The cold and proud CEO's eyes redden. His hand trembles as he grips her wrist.

“Ruan Ning, don't divorce me. Let's give us another try.”

When asked how that night was, Ruan Ning blushes and says it was just okay.

The man's dark eyes linger on her as he says in a low voice,

“Wife, you clung to me so tightly that night, and now you say it was just okay?”
