At an auction, Chen Yinghuai, head of one of Jing City's most powerful families, and Chen Xianhao, daughter of a distinguished scholarly family in Hu City, both bid on the same painting.

Neither would give way to the other. In the end, the staggering price forced Chen Xianhao to withdraw her bid.

During the intermission, Chen Xianhao stepped outside to get some air, feeling irritated. She happened to see Chen Yinghuai chatting with a friend. She was about to leave when she heard her own name.

"You didn't say that yesterday when you were in my bed."

When the two got married, a friend privately advised Chen Yinghuai: "She wants to marry you at a time like this, so her motives can't be pure. She's after your money."

Young Master Chen raised his eyes and slowly turned the wedding band on his ring finger, the corner of his mouth lifting. "Could it be that I was the one who proposed marriage first?"

His friend: ?
