When My Fiancé’s Ex Returned, I Married His Uncle Instead

[Heroine Wen Yaochu: heiress to a wealthy family / Hero Xie Mingzhou: rising star in tech]

Ten years of secret love, five years engaged.

Wen Yaochu thought that if she endured the long wait, they would finally have their happy ending.

Instead, she heard that her fiancé and his ex-girlfriend had rekindled their romance.

Only then did she realize the truth.

From beginning to end, she had been nothing but a pawn Xie Zeyuan used to placate the Xie family.

The Wen family’s finances were in trouble, leaving them mired in crisis, so the two families hastily arranged a marriage alliance.

But her groom would no longer be Xie Zeyuan. It would be his uncle, Xie Mingzhou, a man worth hundreds of billions.

“Why choose me?”

“I need a wife.”

And so began a marriage of convenience.

When Xie Zeyuan learned she had married in a whirlwind, he blocked her path, eyes red. “We agreed we’d get married at the end of the year!”

Before Wen Yaochu could answer, an arm slipped around her waist.

The newcomer drawled lazily, “Wife, there you are.”

“You. Let go.”

The outside world praised the Xie family for their generosity, saying they hadn’t taken advantage of the Wen family’s misfortune.

Xie Mingzhou fixed her with a dark gaze and asked in a low voice, “How do you know I didn’t?”
