Spoiled rich beauty, fussy shou × devoted, loyal, fatherly gong
Qiao Yuan was reborn.
In his past life, for the sake of so-called true love, he fell out with his parents and left home. He ended up sickly and worn down, finally making it with his true love from a basement apartment to a spacious high-rise home.
But before he could even step inside, his lover turned on him and left him with nothing.
Qiao Yuan, who had been pampered since childhood, couldn’t bear the fall from grace. He regretted everything. All he wanted was to go home, apologize to his parents, and become their little young master again.
Unfortunately, before he could make it home, he died in a car crash on a stormy night.
Heaven had eyes and gave him another chance at life.
Qiao Yuan returned to the day he had fallen out with his parents.
At the banquet, his father asked furiously, “Say that again. Who are you leaving with?”
The heartless man waited behind him for his answer. In his panic, someone suddenly came to mind: Sheng Fengxuan, the eldest son of the Sheng family, who had once openly pursued him.
In his previous life, Sheng Fengxuan took over the group and became the youngest heir in the Sheng family. But Qiao Yuan had turned him down, saying, “I don’t need money. I only want love.”
“I’m going to be with Sheng Fengxuan. We’re in love with each other.”
Sheng Fengxuan liked him anyway. All Qiao Yuan had to do was beckon, and he’d be set for the rest of his life.
Just as Qiao Yuan was lost in his lovely daydream, he heard the people around him whispering. His parents’ expressions changed at once, too.
Only then did he learn that in this life, Sheng Fengxuan was no heaven-blessed prodigy or future heir. He was an illegitimate son brought back from an orphanage.
Sheng Fengxuan had spent eight years in the orphanage, never getting enough to eat or wear. Even after returning to the Sheng family as a young master, he was still unwelcome, and his life was hardly any better.
But at a charity gala, the person he had secretly loved for so long told him they were in love with each other.
As it happened, the old master of the Sheng family was gravely ill, and nobody cared whether an illegitimate son lived or died.
The Sheng family was also looking for a chance to get rid of this burden, so they gave the pair a push. And just like that, the two somehow ended up married.
Things didn’t seem to be going the way Qiao Yuan had imagined.
He wanted to get close to Sheng Fengxuan, but not when he was a penniless, powerless poor boy, did he?
The misery of his previous life had left its mark. This time, with his family to fall back on, he could treat Sheng Fengxuan as an inexpensive husband and avoid investing too much of his heart.
Sheng Fengxuan opened the ring box and held it out to him with great care, as if afraid Qiao Yuan might think such a cheap thing wasn’t worthy of his precious hands.
“Trust me. I’ll give you something better one day.”
But the other man’s gaze was so ardent that Qiao Yuan simply couldn’t ignore the tide of feelings surging toward him.
“Then I want a five-carat one.”
He put on a tough front, but his heart softened, and he held out his hand.
The old master of the Sheng family passed away, and his wife and children died in an accident. The group’s business teetered on the brink of collapse, and the Sheng family became a hot potato no one wanted to touch.
Qiao Yuan’s friends urged him to take the opportunity to divorce and protect himself.
Qiao Yuan only looked at the ring on his finger.
“I trust him.”
Later, Sheng Fengxuan took over the Sheng family’s business under immense pressure. In less than five years, he had restored the company to its former glory and become the youngest CEO in the jewelry industry.
Countless people wanted to climb onto the Sheng family’s high branch.
Rumors about Sheng Fengxuan and Qiao Yuan were always swirling. Some said Qiao Yuan was a love-struck fool who didn’t care about money. Others said their claim of being in love was a pretense, and that they were merely in a business marriage with no real feelings for each other.
Beneath the aurora on Svalbard, Sheng Fengxuan took out the diamond he had kept hidden in his palm.
None of that mattered.
Whether it was money or love, Sheng Fengxuan was willing to give him everything, without holding anything back.
