Waiting for a Star at Dusk

[Proud Young Master × Big Sister Who Only Wants to Make Money]

Also known as: "Did His Wife Make the Young Master Furious Today?"

Ying Xing, daughter of the Shen family, was kidnapped by human traffickers as a child. While they were escaping, the bossy older brother who ordered her around taught her one thing: money can't do everything, but it can do 99.99 percent of it.

When she grew up, her elders picked out potential husbands for her. Shen Yingxing didn't even meet them. She went straight for the richest one: Gu Yunzhou.

The elders were all rather concerned. This young master of the Gu family was a notorious playboy. With a face so handsome it defied heaven, he had broken the hearts of countless girls in North City.

Shen's father urged her repeatedly, "Tangbao, marriage is a major decision. Choose carefully."

Ying Xing: "Him! I'll marry no one but him!"

And so, the Gu and Shen families joined in marriage.

Though it was a marriage alliance, Gu Yunzhou found the girl who'd said, "I'll marry no one but him," quite charming. On their wedding night, he prepared everything and set the mood. But...

He waited and waited, and Shen Yingxing never showed up.

He searched the whole villa and found his wife livestreaming a shopping channel: "Look, everyone, this Guerlain Gold Collection is what my husband uses every day. His skin is so soft, you could pinch water out of it."

Gu Yunzhou, conflicted, felt his face and knocked on the door.

Half a minute later, Ying Xing pulled him in to model. "Take a look at this milky skin, beauties. Not a single blemish. Order today and I'll send you a coupon."

Ten days, half a month, three months.

His newlywed wife had been making money in every way imaginable.

Gu Yunzhou decided to have a talk with her.

"I remember you said you'd marry no one but me. Do you not like me anymore?"

Ying Xing: "Gu Yunzhou, could you stop being so shallow?"

Gu Yunzhou: "Shallow?"

Ying Xing: "Yeah. Young people should focus on making money. Why bother with romance? Can you eat love?"

Gu Yunzhou was left speechless.

Later, Young Master Gu discovered that the reason his wife loved hoarding money so much was that, when she was little, he had shown her the power of cash while they were escaping together.

Well, you reap what you sow. He'd just have to coax his own wife.
