The Awkward CEO Fell for Me After Forcing Me Into Bankruptcy

The head of the Yan family suddenly fell ill, and overnight the family was plunged into a sea of debt.

Yan Lanzhou pleaded with everyone he could think of for help. Eventually, someone pointed out that his husband was the one pulling all the strings behind the scenes.

But he felt that the matter was settled. At last, the day had come.

Five years had passed. Even ice would have melted by now, but he still hadn't moved Qin Jiuxiao in the slightest.

A melon forced off the vine isn't sweet. Back then, he'd relied on his family's standing and done whatever it took to make Qin Jiuxiao break up with his boyfriend. Now it was time to pay for it.

"I alone am responsible for what I've done. The Yan family has nothing to do with this. Let them go, and I'll divorce you at once. I'll never appear in front of you again."

Yan Lanzhou bit his lip hard and pushed the divorce papers in front of Qin Jiuxiao.

Qin Jiuxiao's expression was thunderous. He recognized those divorce papers.

They had been hidden at the very back of a desk drawer in the study since the day after their wedding. Yan Lanzhou thought he'd hidden them well, but who could he fool with those little schemes of his?

Qin Jiuxiao had known for a long time that Yan Lanzhou cherished his childhood sweetheart. Marrying him had simply been a practical choice, the result of two adults going along with the circumstances.

Was he after Qin Jiuxiao's looks? Perhaps.

Qin Jiuxiao didn't really care about appearances. After all, Yan Lanzhou himself was exceptionally beautiful.

But sometimes, he still resented those prying eyes watching them from the shadows.

He'd thought that once Yan Lanzhou had nowhere else to turn, he would behave and stay by his side for the rest of his life.

And now he actually dared to ask for a divorce?

He gave a cold laugh. "Yan Lanzhou, even now you still think you can divorce me and go be with him? Keep dreaming. You owe me, and you'll spend the rest of your life staying by my side and paying me back."
