Lure

Original title: Absolute Possession Su Rui has a face that can charm the whole world, but a heart that passes through a thousand flowers without a petal sticking to her. So, despite having countless admirers, she's been single for years. Her best friend asks what kind of man she wants. Su Rui thinks for a long time, then says, "At the very least, he should be like Meng Huaichuan." Her best friend: "Eat more vegetables and drink less. It's not even dark yet, so stop dreaming." Meng Huaichuan, CEO of Huanyu Group. He has refined features, but is cold by nature, ruthless in his methods, and uninterested in women. Women who want to marry him are as numerous as fish crossing a river. Su Rui is the only one who succeeded. Before the wedding, her best friend urges Su Rui to think carefully, warning her not to lose both her youth and her heart. Su Rui doesn't take it seriously. "It's fine. I'm not marrying him for who he is anyway. The contract is crystal clear: after three years, we'll divorce, and he'll give me fifty million in cash and two luxury apartments in the city center. Fifty million! I couldn't earn that much in twenty years of work." After they marry, Meng Huaichuan keeps his promise. He's gentle and considerate in public, but keeps his distance in private. But! Su Rui realizes that, compared to Meng Huaichuan's money, she's still much more tempted by his body. She confides in her best friend: "I had another nosebleed today. If this keeps up, I might not be able to hold out much longer." Her best friend looks thoughtful. "Meng Huaichuan... is he impotent?" To find out whether Meng Huaichuan can perform, Su Rui sneaks into his room in the middle of the night, and then... Meng Huaichuan throws her out. After learning from several failed attempts, Su Rui comes around. If the flower at home won't bloom, she'll go out and pick a wild one. She goes to a nightclub to clear her head and meets a handsome guy. They haven't said much when Meng Huaichuan appears out of nowhere and carries her off, bag and all. The next day, she lies under the covers, rubbing her sore back as she messages her best friend: "Babe, I can't go shopping with you today." Her best friend: "?" Su Rui: "My back hurts. I can't get out of bed. Let's go another day." Blurb 2 When Su Rui was in ninth grade, she found a handsome older boy covered in blood after being beaten up. She took him to the hospital and even paid his medical bills. The handsome boy said his name was Li Chuan, promised to pay her back the next day, and said he'd write her a thank-you letter and deliver it to her school. The next day, Su Rui went to visit him at the hospital, but his bed was empty. The doctor said he'd left early that morning. Su Rui mourned the loss of her secret savings and vowed to herself: from now on, she'd never believe a man's empty promises again. Ten years ago, Meng Huaichuan didn't have the surname Meng. His name was Li Chuan, and he was a high school student from a poor family. One day, he was ambushed and seriously injured, but a kind-hearted young girl saved him. The girl said her name was Su Rui and that she was in ninth grade. After she dropped hints like crazy, Li Chuan "volunteered" to write her a thank-you letter. Su Rui cheerfully said she'd visit him again the next day (to pick up the letter). The next day, he waited in his hospital room all day, but Su Rui never came. At dusk, he left the hospital in a wheelchair and saw Su Rui sitting in a pavilion, whispering with a boy a little older than her. As the sun set, she nestled in the boy's arms, smiling like a flower. With a cold expression, Li Chuan tossed the Thank-You Letter he'd spent all night writing into the non-recyclable trash. Zhang Wuji's mother was right: the prettier a woman is, the better she is at lying. A shameless, cowardly, face-loving secretary × a cold, calculating CEO who holds a grudge The best hunters often appear as prey. Theme: Investing is risky, and marriage should be approached with caution.
