[Complete! Please add my next book, You Are Forbidden, to your favorites.]
Everyone in Rongcheng’s wealthy circles knew that Zhu Ran and Zhou Qian had been childhood sweethearts, engaged since they were young.
But the day after they got married, Zhou Qian left the country on a business trip.
No one could resist mocking Zhu Ran for giving her heart to a man who didn’t care, calling her nothing more than a tool in a business marriage.
The truth was,
After being left alone on her wedding night, Zhu Ran decided to get a new husband!
The night Zhou Qian returned, Zhu Ran showed up with a suitcase and slapped a divorce agreement in his face.
"To hell with this arranged marriage! Go spend the rest of your life with your career!"
As the man stared at her in shock, the young lady raised her chin, swayed her hips, and walked away.
Even with his business-genius brain working overtime, Zhou Qian couldn’t figure it out.
How could one business trip cost him his wife?
Later, he cornered Zhu Ran at a club famous for its handsome men.
Zhou Qian said earnestly, "I only want to spend the rest of my life with my wife."
Zhu Ran replied casually, "Oh? Then get a different wife."
Zhou Qian answered with a straight face, "I’d lose out if I traded in the wife I watched grow up."
"..."
The busybodies who had been hoping to see Zhu Ran make a spectacle of herself were stunned.
What happened to her being a tool in a business marriage?
[Bonus Scene]
Zhou Qian was being interviewed. The reporter asked whether, as a famously work-obsessed man in their circle, he devoted all his attention to his career.
In his office, Zhou Qian lifted his eyes slightly and answered in a calm voice, "My biggest regret is that I spent too much time focusing on work in the past."
He hadn’t properly made up with the young lady who’d assumed she would always be by his side.
Reporter: ?
Whatever happened to him being a workaholic?
The next moment, the lounge door opened, and a girl in nothing but a slip dress walked out barefoot, still sleepy. "Zhou Qian, what are you doing?"
The famously cool and chaste CEO immediately fixed his gaze on her.
That night, Zhou Qian posted on Weibo:
"Devoting all my attention to my wife @Zhu Ran"
Netizens: Wow... CEO Zhou, put some clothes on!
Fake chaste workaholic CEO x genuinely spoiled and capricious heiress
Reading Guide:
1. Both leads are virgins. Happy ending. Not a typical groveling-to-win-her-back story, and that isn’t the main focus! No agonizing angst; it turns sweet later!
2. Neither lead is perfect. The heroine has a temper and is very, very capricious. (Readers often criticize her for this, so consider yourself warned.)
3. I hope you enjoy reading, and readers of pirated copies, don’t come here to leave your grubby fingerprints in my comments.
4. Bonus chapters are being added whenever I get around to them.
Next book: You Are Forbidden
Shen Biezhi’s father, who was buried in debt, sent her to live with that man.
He treated her well and gave her the best of everything. When he was in a good mood, he would tease her.
The man was mature and steady, while the girl was naive. It was only natural that she would develop feelings for him.
She summoned her courage and stood before him, her girlish crush plain on her face. "Uncle Ji..."
His gaze remained as gentle as ever, but he smiled teasingly. "Do you want to pay off your father’s debts for him, Zhizhi?"
His tender, smiling gaze was like a blade of shame, laying Shen Biezhi bare from the inside out, leaving her nowhere to hide.
She suddenly gave up her fantasies and focused on her studies, hoping to settle their accounts once and for all and get away from him.
That was until rumors of a romance between her and a sunny young man reached his ears.
That day, in full view of everyone at school, he casually crushed the sunflower the boy had given her beneath his shoe.
Then he pushed jasmine into her hand, leaving no room for refusal. Smiling coldly, he whispered in her ear, "Your whole body is marked with my name, and you still dare to go after someone else?"
Shen Biezhi stumbled backward in panic as broken fragments of memory flashed through her mind.
In the end, Shen Biezhi succeeded in owing the man less and less.
But Ji Yeming kept a tighter and tighter watch on her, afraid she would fly away the moment he looked away.
Theme: Career and family are both important
It's so emotional to see this! Two people who have been so good friends since childhood, why did they almost lose the person they loved most?
It's good... But as a junior high school student, I don't know if I need to do homework when I grow up. This description is really inconsistent...
Don't you have Zaizai? Woohoo! As promised, Mr. Zhou has prenatal depression, hahaha

Why doesn't the extra story show that the male and female protagonists are married?
It is now 00:23 in the morning of November 25, 2022, and I have finished reading the entire book. This book is really good to read, the whole text is not too sad, and the rhythm is relatively comfortable. I personally like this setting better, but I haven't seen enough yet, so why did it end? Without further ado, I wish our Zhou Qian and Zhu Ran a loving life in your world and grow old together!
