[Marriage first, love later + rekindled romance + he convinces himself she loves him + unconventional domineering CEO + two wealthy families]
A cool-faced, vindictive firecracker x a peacock who’s cold on the outside but warm within
Yi Shixu thought his contract wife had gone crazy.
She brought him meals every day, specially making the food he liked, then sat on the sofa grinning foolishly at him.
What could that be if not being madly in love with him?
He decided to discourage her. “Bo Yi, don’t… fall in love with me.”
Without even looking up, Bo Yi replied, “I’m going out Friday. My senior from college is coming back to China.”
Yi Shixu: ?
In private, Yi Shixu kept convincing himself she was in love with him in front of his friends.
“The way she looks at me, she’s obviously head over heels.”
His friend: “…She might be looking at her phone.”
Yi Shixu refused to believe it.
With one year left on their three-year agreement, Bo Yi thought she just had to hold out until then to be free and fly off with the person she loved.
But on the eve of her escape, she saw with her own eyes her refined, moonlight-like senior meeting five wealthy heiresses in one day, acting intimately with them.
Bo Yi had already accepted that no one in this world would ever love her.
Then Yi Shixu collapsed in a pool of blood, barely alive, still clutching her hand tightly as he lost consciousness.
Looking at him covered in blood, Bo Yi suddenly remembered that long ago, someone else had held her hand just like that and promised to marry her.
Only she remembered in the end.
