Xu Nian'an has barely graduated when her family pressures her to marry an old man, trading her for a bride price so her younger brother can buy a house. She goes to sign the agreement, ready to resign herself to her fate, then looks up and sees that her arranged spouse is Gu Yanqing, the aloof senior she's had a crush on for six years!
Rumor has it Gu Yanqing is cold-blooded, ruthless, uninterested in women, and the Living Yama of the business world, someone no one dares cross. Only Xu Nian'an knows that on the day they register their marriage, her senior holds her hand tightly beneath the table, her ears red enough to drip blood. When Xu Nian'an gets her period, the icy CEO rushes all over the city in the middle of the night to buy her sanitary pads. She casually mentions that sweet-and-sour pork ribs are delicious, and they show up in her lunch every day for a month. When someone gives her a hard time, Gu Yanqing shields her behind her and says coldly, “You want to mess with my wife? Did you ask me first?”
The whole company is saying the new secretary is President Gu's favorite. Meanwhile, Xu Nian'an is left wondering: Weren't they supposed to have a marriage of convenience and stay out of each other's affairs? Why is the way President Gu looks at her getting more and more suspicious? And why does she sneak into Xu Nian'an's room at night to hold her while she sleeps?
Then one day, Xu Nian'an returns to the office to pick something up after working late and catches Gu Yanqing staring at an old photo of her eating a chicken leg in her freshman year. The edges of the photo are worn white. That's when she realizes that this business marriage, as everyone sees it, was really a trap this person had been planning for a long time. The woman she's been in love with for six years had started longing for her a full two years earlier.
It's nice and sweet, but it's a bit boring after watching it for a long time. Maybe it's because I'm used to stories with ups and downs in love.
No, the author didn't read the chapter content after he finished writing. I can tell you accurately. After reading chapter 45, as long as the protagonist and the heroine are close, the protagonist will stutter and then apologize. The key is that he didn't see that it was wrong, and the frequency is quite high. Everyone knows that the other party likes him, so he protects himself. Why should he apologize? Apologize. Does your wife like you? 😂
It's beautiful and the writing is very delicate.
The content is enriched and the theme is clear
