Marriage as Bait

(The main story and all extras are complete, so feel free to dive in!) My next story is called Back Again, Ex-Wife. Click on my profile to bookmark it. Lin Xiyu had been staying with the Lu family since she was fifteen. She got along well with all the Lu siblings except the eldest, Lu Junting. As the head of Lu Corporation, Lu Junting was decisive and uncompromising. He was reserved, inscrutable, and hard to read. He was like a flower growing on a high peak: aloof, proud, and impossible to approach. Like everyone else, Lin Xiyu was afraid whenever she saw Lu Junting. Then she encountered something even more terrifying than seeing him. After an accident, she married Lu Junting... ** Lin Xiyu knew Lu Junting had married her only because of the child she was carrying. She had become pregnant with his child after that accident, and she also knew he had a first love he could never forget. Many people pitied her behind her back. "So what if she married into the Lu family with a baby on the way? She still can't get her husband's love." Lin Xiyu was puzzled. Why did she need her husband's love? She had a child, a nanny to look after them every day, and a husband who gave her a fixed allowance each month. He had even given her his supplementary credit card to spend as she pleased. Did it matter whether she had his love? If she could choose, she'd rather her husband never came home. She felt much more at ease when she didn't have to face him. The couple had agreed to live separate lives, at least in name, but later Lin Xiyu noticed Lu Junting acting stranger and stranger. Lu Junting: "I've been so busy lately that I've neglected you and the child. From now on, I'll make more time for you both." Lin Xiyu: "No, no, you just focus on your work. The child and I are doing fine." But he ignored her protests. The man who had spent years away from home for work began showing up around her and the child all the time. Lu Junting: "Come with me to a banquet tomorrow." Lin Xiyu: "Didn't we agree not to tell people we're married? I think I'll stay home." But he insisted on taking her to all kinds of banquets, as if he couldn't wait to tell everyone they were together. Later, this aloof, proud man even started shamelessly pestering her. Unable to take it any longer, Lin Xiyu said impatiently, "Mr. Lu, don't you have anything better to do? If you're bored, go find someone else to spend time with. I'm busy." The man gave a cold laugh. "Who else do I have besides you?" Then he left with a dark expression. The next day, reeking of alcohol, he blocked her path. Lu Junting, the favored son of heaven, had red eyes as he asked in a hoarse voice, holding back his anger, "What exactly do I have to do for you to like me?" Lin Xiyu: "..." *Pregnancy leads to marriage, then love after marriage. *A super-sweet pampering romance. My completed manuscript, Back Again, Ex-Wife: That day, Cheng Luosu suddenly remembered what had happened before she lost her memory. It turned out she wasn't 23 this year, but 28. It turned out her name wasn't Cheng Luosu. It was Yu Qingqing. She had a loving husband and an adorable daughter, who had been only six months old when she left. Everyone thought Yu Qingqing had died in an accident four years ago. In the world that belonged to her, she no longer existed. Her loving husband had married another woman just six months after her death, and her adorable daughter was calling someone else "Mom." As the president of Beiyang Group, Huo Sili was exceptionally capable and forceful. Born into privilege, successful in his career, and blessed with a happy family, he seemed to have a perfect life. But everyone who knew Huo Sili knew he had one taboo: his ex-wife. No one was allowed to bring her up. The moment anyone did, this normally unflappable man would instantly lose control. How to Get Along with a Madman Who at Xiude High School didn't know Gu Baiyu? He was handsome, refined, and always ranked first in his class. He was also a mathematical genius. Teachers liked him, classmates looked up to him, and he was the kind of child adults held up as an example to others. But Gu Baiyu knew the truth. He was a madman, a rotten person. He was simply good at pretending otherwise. Later, a girl who liked to wear her hair in a ponytail transferred to Xiude High School. She had fair skin and clear eyes, and when she smiled, two little dimples appeared in her cheeks. She became Gu Baiyu's shadow, chasing after him every day. He hated how clingy she was, and finally dropped his pretense to show her his nasty side. Later, she said, "If I'd known you were such a rotten person, I wouldn't have been nice to you." From then on, she disappeared. Gu Baiyu, the master of disguise, went mad. Theme: Through all the storms, I'm glad I have you
