[Blurb] The husband can't win his wife back | The second male lead takes her place
Lu Xuyan always thought his new wife was dull. She was beautiful and elegant, with a distinguished background, but pretty as she was, she was like a gorgeous flower with no scent, and did nothing to stir his interest.
His heart was a dried-up pond.
At last, in the second year of his marriage, he met a woman who set his heart racing.
.
Xi Lingyi always thought her husband was a well-bred man from a prestigious family: handsome, poised, reserved, and cold. It seemed nothing could faze him.
Until one day, she happened to visit her husband's company.
Through the clear glass windows, she saw her usually aloof, coldhearted husband kissing the girl in his arms with wild abandon.
If it had been anyone else, Xi Lingyi might have sighed at the sight of such a perfect couple, such a beautiful scene.
But at that moment, watching the shameless couple lost in passion, she narrowed her beautiful, icy eyes.
A cold, vicious thought rose in her heart like a dagger.
She wanted Lu Xuyan dead.
She wanted to see him fall from his pedestal, ruined and disgraced. She wanted him to return every last bit of the wealth and influence he'd taken from her!
.
When they first married, Lu Xuyan saw Xi Lingyi only as a suitable partner for an arranged marriage. To keep this suitable partner from getting too proud, he warned her in a magnanimous yet pointed tone, "Miss Xi, I don't like people close to me overstepping their bounds. You should understand that our Lu family doesn't need you in particular."
The day Lu Xuyan was thrown out by the Lu family, rain poured down as Xi Lingyi saw him off with an umbrella.
Standing beneath it, she looked at her disheveled former husband and said, in a tone that sounded like a warning and yet almost casual, "Young Master Lu, it seems your family doesn't need me in particular, but it doesn't need you in particular either."
Lu Xuyan's lips lifted slightly as he looked at his former wife.
She stood before the Lu residence, one foot on the steps, her smile like a flower steeped in poison: sweet and wicked.
The rain poured down in torrents.
The master of the Lu residence stood behind the door with an umbrella, tall and poised, his gaze still and quiet.
He watched Xi Lingyi in silence.
He watched his ex-wife.
