After Going Bankrupt, My Childhood Friend Wants Me to Marry Him to Pay Off My Debt

After her family goes bankrupt, Wen Ning has nowhere left to turn, so she goes to Lu Yanzhou.

The childhood friend she had rejected in public at seventeen is now the world boxing champion, a professional race car driver, and a corporate president.

Standing before him, she digs her nails into her palm and asks whether the marriage promise he made all those years ago still stands.

-

He grips her chin and forces her to look up. The calluses on his fingertips scrape painfully against her skin. "It stands. We'll get the marriage license tomorrow."

-

Her debts vanish overnight, and their wedding of the century takes the whole city by storm.

On their wedding night, Wen Ning curls up in the bathtub, trapped between Lu Yanzhou's burning chest and the porcelain wall. The swaying water leaves her breathless.

He bites her earlobe and asks, "What kind of man do you like now? Do you like it when I kiss you like this?"

-

Wen Ning can't answer. He kisses her over and over, until water spills across the floor.

Lu Yanzhou grips her waist, his voice hoarse beyond recognition. "Whatever kind of man you used to like, now you can only like me."
