[Cool and restrained project director 💼 vs. sweet on the outside, scheming on the inside younger rich heir 🐺]
[Second male lead takes the lead + regret and pursuit + whirlwind marriage + older woman/younger man romance + secret crush + face-slapping + powerful families]
After supporting Gu Chengan for seven years, all she got was, “You'll be my official wife. Don't make a big deal out of it.”
Ning Jia laughed, slipped off her plain ring and dropped it into a glass of liquor, then cleared out her apartment and got married on a whim that very night.
Everyone thought she had picked some random guy to spite Gu Chengan. No one expected him to be Lu Jinghuai, the decisive heir to the Lu family in London.
In public, he was a ruthless business upstart, his shirt buttoned to the top, aloof and ascetic.
In private, he buried his feverish forehead in the crook of her neck, his voice hoarse and trembling. “Big Sis, I'm dizzy. Can you hold me?”
Later, Gu Chengan pounded on her door in the pouring rain until he broke his hand, begging her to take him back.
Lu Jinghuai opened the door with her bathrobe draped loosely over himself, his thin lips brushing Ning Jia's snowy collarbone as he raised an eyebrow and sneered:
“President Gu, take it easy. My wife just fell asleep, and her waist is still sore...”
