Radiant heiress x older, caring man
Marriage first, love later | Four-year age gap | Sweet romance
When Luo Mingtan was twenty-four, she agreed to marry into the Xie family to save her family's business from a crisis.
At the time, Xie Jinglan was a scion of high society and the newly appointed heir to the Xie family, a giant in the industrial sector. He was ambitious and at the height of his success.
Everyone thought the woman suited to him would be some gentle, refined young lady from a prominent family. No one expected it to be the eldest daughter of the Luo family.
The first twenty-four years of Luo Mingtan's life had been a dazzling parade of prosperity and splendor, enough to fill a book called The Daily Life of an Heiress. The only surprise was that she got married at twenty-four.
Her summary of the marriage was: a mutually beneficial arrangement with no emotional foundation.
The day after they got their marriage license, the groom left for overseas, with no return date in sight.
Under the title of Mrs. Xie, Luo Mingtan spent two years in a "widow-style" marriage. Her furious friends called him a jerk and felt sorry for her, but she said it couldn't be better.
She could use his credit card, live in his house, drive his car... and didn't have to maintain a fake marriage. What kind of jerk was he? He was practically a living bodhisattva.
She went to fashion shows and shopped as usual, spending lavishly at auctions.
One day, as she left a fashion show, a sudden downpour caught her outside. She stood under the eaves calling her driver. After she hung up, a car slowly pulled up in front of her.
The man in the back seat had striking, deep-set features. His black leather shoes stepped into a puddle as he asked, "Where are you going?"
Holding her phone, Luo Mingtan was used to this sort of pickup line. She gave him a polite smile and used her "dead" husband of two years as a shield. "My husband is coming to get me."
Then she smiled sweetly again, opened their WeChat chat with practiced ease, and sent a syrupy voice message: "When will you be here, honey? I miss you so much."
Before she could take it back, the next second, her voice came from the phone in the man's hand.
He held up his phone and raised an amused eyebrow. "Is that so? Then I'll have to find out just how much you miss me."
