1) Facing her mother's constant nagging to get married, Cheng Yuan'an lost her cool for a moment, grabbed a random man nearby, and dragged him in front of the camera to appease her mother: "I have a boyfriend now, okay? Are you happy?!"

After hanging up, she looked up and saw the man staring intently at her, along with the clearly visible department sign over his head: Reproductive Medicine.

Embarrassed, she could only force out, "I hope you recover soon," before making a quick escape.

Later, Cheng Yuan'an was delighted to discover that the poker-faced man she'd picked up on a whim was not only her new boss, but had also become her sham husband.

Before the wedding, they agreed to work together toward a mutually widowed-style marriage, and never interfere with each other's freedom.

After the wedding, the night a cheating scandal hit the trending searches, Xu Jishen rushed back from overseas in the middle of the night.

He waited for an hour in the cold wind, only to see his wife being driven home by another man.

"While I was away, you were smiling at other men?"

When he accused her first, Cheng Yuan'an gave him a stern look. "What are you doing here?"

The man sighed helplessly, but his tone was obedient and doting. "Making it up to my wife."

2) Everyone said that Xu Jishen, the young president of Xinkang Medical Group, was aloof and uninterested in women, and that his sexual orientation was a mystery.

At some point, a wedding ring appeared on his ring finger. The women who had been desperate to marry into the Xu family lamented their bad luck, while everyone speculated that some rich and beautiful woman had agreed to marry into wealth only to spend her life as a widow in all but name.

Later, someone accidentally saw the usually stern President Xu gently coaxing Cheng Yuan'an, the youngest attending physician in cardiothoracic surgery.

Rumors immediately spread through their circle: The married president was apparently cheating with his own subordinate, and the unseen Mrs. Xu was rather pitiful.

Until one day, in full view of everyone, Xu Jishen lifted Cheng Yuan'an, who had collapsed from exhaustion in the operating room. His eyes held a tenderness no outsider had ever seen.

In her hazy consciousness, Cheng Yuan'an blurted out instinctively, "Husband..."

Xu Jishen's eyes flickered, and he answered softly, "Mm, your husband is here."

Marriage first, love later | Couple act together | Sweet romance

1. Shi Qin heard that she was engaged to the Pei family's second son.

At their first meeting, the refined-looking man sat in a wheelchair dressed all in black, a black velvet blanket covering his lower body. His dark eyes were as deep as the sea, and his bearing was in no way inferior to anyone else's.

He was handsome, all right. Too bad he was disabled.

Shi Qin was still young, and had no intention of spending her life as a widow in all but name.

They said her fiance, whose name suited him, was gentle and refined.

So she put on the sweetest smile of her life and tried to appeal to his feelings and reason.

"All I care about is money."

"I'm also a sucker for good looks."

"And I love causing trouble."

"The Pei family will be doomed if they take me in."

The man across from her only smiled faintly. "Miss Shi, I understand what you mean."

At the appointed time on the night of the engagement banquet, Shi Qin confidently made an OK sign to Pei Zhili.

The man calmly watched her sneak toward the door. A moment later, he raised a hand slightly, and several burly men rushed out, flanking her and carrying her back to the engagement banquet.

"...You Pei! FXXX U!"

As she struggled, Shi Qin angrily gave him the middle finger.

The man curled his lips slightly and replied warmly, "You're too kind, Madam."

2. After getting married, Shi Qin continued staging the occasional escape attempt. In her spare time, she also serialized a novel online called My Crippled Overbearing CEO Husband, nearly getting her secret identity exposed.

[Mu Rong Tingchen pinned Yao Ruoxue in a corner, his eyes bloodshot, and pressed a hard kiss to her tempting crimson lips!

"..."

Pei Zhili rubbed his brows wearily, then turned to signal the butler.

The butler immediately produced a black card and held up five fingers to Shi Qin.

Shi Qin sneered. "Five million? You think I'm a beggar?"

Pei Zhili replied coolly, "Fifty million."

"..."

Shi Qin silently tucked the card into her clothes. In an instant, her alluring eyes crinkled with a smile. "You should've said so sooner, darling~"
