The Evolution of a Perfect Husband

* An emotionally detached but fiercely doting husband X a gorgeous, beautiful, innocent and naive woman

Shui Yao had been out of college for just a year when her mentor introduced her to a potential match.

The man was named Zong Zeli. He had just returned from overseas after earning his master's degree, and came from a family of legal and political heavyweights.

He was an elite among elites, too, running his own finance company as a young boss with a regular nine-to-five schedule.

"He seems like a good match for you. I hear you're my most outstanding student, and he wants to meet you," her mentor said with a kind smile.

At the time, Shui Yao had just been through a major upheaval and desperately needed something to cling to.

Zong Zeli's arrival came at just the right time.

After they met, Shui Yao and Zong Zeli unexpectedly got along wonderfully.

They dated for six months before getting married.

After the wedding, Zong Zeli was the perfect husband.

He had a glamorous job and a generous salary, and was gentle and considerate. His skills in bed were also... exceptional.

That is, until her ex-boyfriend, who had been banished overseas by his family, was finally allowed to return and came storming to their door. He confronted Shui Yao: "Do you know how underhanded your new husband is?! Back then, he was the one who..."

He didn't get to finish.

"Yaoyao."

Her husband appeared behind her and called her, as gentle as ever.

At that moment, Zong Zeli wore a black sweater that outlined his elegant, tall, and solid build. A pair of thin, silver-framed glasses sat on the bridge of his high nose.

He wore a pink apron that read, "A good husband is made with praise." His slender, sexy hands held chopsticks and a slightly tilted bowl, caught in the act of beating eggs.

He slowly set the bowl and chopsticks down, took off the apron, then came over and comforted her gently. "It's all right. Come on, let me talk to him."

The door closed softly behind her husband, shutting off one world from the other.

The commotion outside fell silent, and her ex-boyfriend seemed to have quieted down.

But Shui Yao, turning back to sit on the sofa, was frozen stiff.

Because after Zong Zeli smiled and said those words, the moment he looked at her ex, his eyes revealed a side of him she had never seen: sinister, vicious, and indifferent. Not friendly in the least.

It was another side of her husband she had never seen before.

She recalled the tactful warning a friend had given her when she got married: "Yaoyao, don't you think everything between you and Zong Zeli, from meeting to marriage, happened too fast and went too smoothly? It's as if he were following a script written just for you."

"Your background is so ordinary, while his is untouchable. Could this all be an elaborate pig-butchering scam?"

Shui Yao hadn't believed it then.

Now, with so many suspicious things right in front of her, she couldn't help but wonder.

#My husband dotes on me alone but is seriously twisted toward everyone else

#If this really is a pig-butchering scam, what does he want from me?

A sweet, timid foodie woman VS a gentle big daddy who seems like a gentleman but is actually extremely controlling

Lu Xi'ai had been bullied by her stepsister since childhood. Trembling, she stretched out her little claws, planning to get a bit of revenge.

She went after her stepsister's arranged-marriage partner, Sui Siyan, whose family wielded unfathomable power and held a lofty position. He himself, however, was mild-mannered, refined, and elegant.

Everyone else was so afraid of him that they kept their distance, but she boldly went right up to him.

As she wished, the two of them finally became involved.

No one knew that the well-behaved student everyone saw at school was secretly being picked up by car every day and going home to make passionate love with a mature man.

No one knew, either, that the man who seemed untouchable in public would rack his brains more over getting her to drink a bowl of nourishing soup than over signing a trillion-yuan contract.

But little by little, Lu Xi'ai noticed something was wrong.

If she came home late, she would find a handprint on her bottom.

If she spoke to another boy, that boy would be expelled the next day.

It wasn't until her stepsister's wedding went ahead as planned and she saw that her brother-in-law's surname was Sui that she realized she had pursued the wrong man.

Damn it!

Afraid her secret would be exposed, Lu Xi'ai made up her mind to flee home in the middle of the night.

Back home, she returned to being the spineless second young lady and followed her family's arrangements to go on a blind date with a man.

But just as she sat down, a tall man arrived surrounded by bodyguards and interrupted them.

Sui Siyan calmly and elegantly removed his black leather gloves, then looked down at her blind date with a chilly gaze. "You're coveting my wife like this. How many guts do you think you have to oppose me, hmm?"

Beneath his casual tone lay a restrained, bloodless murderous intent.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other man was scared out of his wits.

Even Lu Xi'ai's father, who had rushed over after hearing the news, bowed and scraped.

Only then did Lu Xi'ai understand what sort of man she had provoked: cold-blooded, heartless, arrogant, discourteous, callous, and distant.

Sure enough.

Sui Siyan turned to Lu Xi'ai and said, "And you, sweetie?"

A soaked sofa, lips rubbed raw.

Lu Xi'ai thought being dragged back to the hotel and left aching all over for an entire night was the punishment.

But when she woke up, she saw a ten-carat diamond ring on her ring finger, and the man behind her warned her gently: "Your punishment is to stay by my side for the rest of your life. You're never allowed to leave again."

"And if you try again, I'll have a pair of silver handcuffs made just for you."

Lu Xi'ai: How is this a punishment for me? This is more like a reward for you, you big jerk!
