An Addiction on a Spring Night [Marriage Before Love]

Spoiled wild rose vs. scheming, protective older man

Arranged marriage to love | Love grows over time | Protective older boyfriend | Six-year age gap

When Yuan Yin was twenty-one, she finally failed to dodge the marriage her family had arranged for her.

She heard that the man was six years older than her, lived in the Bay Area, and was ruthless and heartless.

Her best friend even sent her a blurry paparazzi photo and earnestly urged her, “Yinyin, run! He looks older than your dad!”

In a snowy foreign land, Yuan Yin met Wen Xu by chance.

Yuan Yin needed a fake husband to fend off the marriage her family had arranged.

Wen Xu was the best candidate at the time.

Wen Xu dressed modestly, used a phone that was five or six years old, and dutifully went to work and came home on time every day.

By all appearances, he was just an ordinary wage slave.

Yuan Yin was very pleased.

She handed Wen Xu a contract and coaxed him, “I have a chance for you to make a fortune.”

“Marry me, and I’ll give you a million.”

Wen Xu was criminally handsome, but that didn’t stop Yuan Yin from bossing him around.

She ordered him about, gave him a hard time, and threw tantrums. She even planned to enjoy herself for the next six months, then find a chance to have her way with him before going back to her carefree life.

Until the group’s annual gala, when she saw that the rumored ruthless, decisive, and formidable Mr. Wen from the Bay Area looked exactly like her “husband”!

Yuan Yin realized she was in deep trouble and tried to sneak away, only to find Wen Xu waiting by the door.

He opened the car door and stubbed out his cigarette. On the passenger seat lay the divorce papers he’d torn in half.

“Mrs. Wen, where are you going?” As he spoke, he undid his shirt buttons, opening the collar little by little to reveal his firm chest and collarbones. “Don’t you like bullying me? Come here.”

Yuan Yin swallowed, completely unable to help herself…

--

No one expected that the young, high-and-mighty head of the Wen family would end up marrying a rich girl from an ordinary family. The news sent shockwaves through high society.

Someone investigated in secret and discovered that the Yuan family’s heiress was not only spoiled, selfish, and wasteful, but also had a colorful private life.

Rumor had it that she’d brought a lover back from overseas and kept him hidden away, spending every night wrapped up with him.

Someone had even taken a sneaky photo of them meeting in the underground garage.

The man had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His face was hard to make out as he whispered in Yuan Yin’s ear, their intimacy brazenly on display.

The rumor that Mr. Wen had been cheated on spread through the entire social circle.

In the study.

Yuan Yin read all the gossip about herself and looked over at Wen Xu. He seemed to be enjoying it, which made her so mad she kicked him in the chest.

“Your wife’s supposed lover. Aren’t you going to come out and explain?”

Wen Xu set his documents down and caught her ankle, pulling her gently by the waist into his arms. “Explain what? Admit that you spend every night wrapped up with me?”
