[Decisive and commanding second young master × scheming before marriage, pretending to be innocent after marriage, second young madam] A marriage of convenience: first lust, then love
① At a cruise ship party, Jiang Yan ran into her fiancé, Fu Shaoze. One was a graceful beauty who charmed everyone around her, the other a dashing gentleman surrounded by admirers.
They tacitly pretended not to know each other.
Because, according to the stories they had made up over dinner earlier, Jiang Yan was skiing in Courchevel, while Fu Shaoze was in Australia negotiating an acquisition.
Their friends were amazed: "You share the same values and are perfectly in sync. You two should grow old together."
As evenly matched rivals, Jiang Yan and Fu Shaoze inevitably clashed after getting married. Though they usually couldn't stand each other and found fault with everything the other did, their values didn't align, but their looks did. In bed, they were infatuated with each other and remarkably in sync.
Off the bed, they traded barbs and showed no mercy. In bed, they tangled together, sweet and tender.
They had both given in to lust, and decided they could put up with each other a little longer.
But as they went back and forth, their feelings advanced by leaps and bounds. They only realized their growing attraction after the fact, and their initial lust at first sight had already turned into love born of repeated nights together.
#I submit to your body and fall for your soul#
#Might as well make the best of it. What else can we do, get divorced?#
② One day after their wedding, Fu Shaoze decided, unusually, to cook with his own hands, so the two of them went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. Jiang Yan picked up bags and bags of groceries. Fu Shaoze glanced at her coolly. "Why are you buying so much?"
Jiang Yan smiled as if it were obvious. "It's not like I'm the one cooking."
Fu Shaoze raised an eyebrow slightly.
That night, Fu Shaoze wrapped an arm around Jiang Yan's waist and flipped her onto the sofa. Jiang Yan shrank back in surprise. "What are you doing?"
Fu Shaoze narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled as he loosened his tie. "It's not like you're the one doing it."
