-
In her senior year of college, Zhou Jianing got married to Shi Jin, the eldest son of the Shi family.
The day they registered their marriage, Shi Jin left for an overseas branch.
A year later, Zhou Jianing was rear-ended while reporting the news. A Bentley pulled over at the roadside, and a man in a black bespoke suit came to her rescue.
Hearing people address him as President Shi, Zhou Jianing vaguely remembered knowing someone else with the surname Shi.
She thought about it for a while, got nowhere, and gave up.
Looking at the unfamiliar face, she smiled sweetly. “Thank you, President Shi.”
The man narrowed his long eyes. “You’re welcome, Miss Zhou.”
It was only when she got home that evening that Zhou Jianing realized the man was none other than her new husband, Shi Jin.

After getting married, the two treated each other with polite respect.
One day, Zhou Jianing was injured while working. When Shi Jin heard, he said nothing, his face darkening as he carried her into his luxury car.
When their friends heard about it, they joked that maybe Young Master Shi had really fallen for her.
“How could that be?” The man slowly stubbed out his cigarette. “I’m just doing my duty as a husband.”
Later, one day, while it was still light outside, Shi Jin picked up his suit and headed home.
“Young Master Shi, are you going back to the office to work overtime? You’re practically on your way to becoming the richest man in Jing City, and you’re still working yourself to the bone?”
Everyone knew Shi Jin was a cold, aloof workaholic who rarely even went home. People said Zhou Jianing had been left alone in their huge house since they got married.
But then the man curled his lips and replied unhurriedly, “I’m not working overtime. I’m going home to be with my wife.”
Everyone left staring at one another. Hold on, wasn’t he taking his husbandly duties a little too far?
-
Zhou Jianing had never expected anything from this marriage. To her, Shi Jin was just a handsome, well-endowed money tree.
She wouldn’t let herself develop any real feelings for him.
Fortunately, neither would Shi Jin.
But for some reason, the man started coming home earlier and earlier, and became increasingly insatiable in certain matters.
