After my attempt to call off the engagement failed, I became the CEO’s darling.
To get him to break things off, I wore a neon-green hoodie to our blind date and chewed with my mouth open at a five-star hotel.
But Fu Chen told his parents, “She’s genuine and unpretentious. I like her.”
I took him to a street stall for spicy malatang, hoping to scare him away.
Instead, Fu Chen made a note: “Three portions of cilantro, less chili. She has a weak stomach.”
I deliberately texted a male coworker “Baby” right in front of him. He went quiet for three seconds.
The next day, the whole company knew I’d cheated on him, but he posted on social media: “The more she acts up, the more it shows she cares about me.”
So I brought out my big move and pretended to go on a date with the second male lead.
Fu Chen found me, his eyes red, and said, “Wanwan, if you’re uncomfortable with a business marriage, we can date first.”
Me: “???”
Later, as I lay in his arms, I asked, “What is it about me that you like so much?”
He kissed my forehead. “Maybe it’s that every time you try to ditch me, it feels like you’re confessing your love.”
