Falling in Love After Marriage

Sorry, readers. Due to real-life issues, this story is on hiatus for now. I may make major revisions, so readers who have already read the earlier chapters, please read on. [Hero’s perspective: unrequited love comes true × heroine’s perspective: marriage first, love later] The day before she was due to marry Gu Yan, Shi Yu went to a party to clear her head, only to discover that he was cheating on her. She kept a cold expression as she took photos of their intimate behavior, then found a paparazzo to expose them. Shi Yu wanted to cry alone in the elevator, but Gu Lingzhou, Gu Yan’s older brother, was inside. Their eyes met. Shi Yu said coldly, “Mr. Gu, keep your brother in line. I won’t marry a cheater.” But she still couldn’t stop herself from crying in front of him. She heard Gu Lingzhou sigh and offer her a tissue. “Wipe your face. You’re already crying like a little kitten.” Shi Yu thought that would be the end of their interaction, but Gu Lingzhou unexpectedly brought someone over to apologize. She heard him say, “Marry me. I haven’t cheated, and everything I have is yours.” Shi Yu thought it over and decided it sounded fine. As they spent more time together, she gradually fell for him. Then Shi Yu learned that the whole thing had been a scheme Gu Lingzhou devised to marry her. After the truth came out, Gu Lingzhou gave her time to think and went on a business trip. He only wanted her to think about their relationship, not go find someone else. When he learned that she had gone out of her way to see off the man she liked, Gu Lingzhou panicked completely. He hurried back and saw that man gently ruffling her hair, while Shi Yu didn’t pull away. With a dark expression, Gu Lingzhou took her back to their home. That night, he made sure she knew who her husband was. In the end, Gu Lingzhou pulled her into his arms and whispered, “Baby, why can’t you forgive me? I love you so much.” After that, Gu Lingzhou began to reveal his feelings bit by bit, until he laid them all bare. Theme: Women should love and protect themselves
