Please add it to your collection!] ★ Untamed “wild horse” and cool, aloof heiress ★ Marriage first, love later | Long-planned romance | Two wealthy families | Both leads are each other’s first and only Jiang Jingyue had never been fond of Gu Yaoye. He was carefree and unruly, like a wild horse, exactly the kind of man she least wanted to get involved with. Later, circumstances forced her to marry him under an agreement. Jiang Jingyue quietly planned to divorce him someday, assuming she and Gu Yaoye would remain polite and respectful toward each other throughout the marriage. Until one snowy night, at a friend’s birthday party, Jiang Jingyue had a little to drink and became rather tipsy. Gu Yaoye put aside his work to pick her up. When they got home, the man sat her on the shoe bench, then knelt on one knee to change her shoes, murmuring in a low voice, “Go lie down in the bedroom in a bit. I’ll make you some hangover soup.” “Otherwise you’ll wake up with a headache again tomorrow.” “And don’t shower just yet. Drink the soup and rest for a while first. Later, I’ll…” The sight of the man with his head lowered, completely focused, came into Jiang Jingyue’s blurry, drunken gaze. Her heart stirred. She quietly laid her hand on his hair, dusted with melting snow, interrupting his rambling. Then she gently stroked his coarse, short hair and smiled softly. “Gu Yaoye, you’re like a big dog rubbing against its owner’s leg.” Her words left him stunned for a moment. Then he held his breath slightly and looked up at her with dark, desire-filled eyes. The corner of his lips lifted as he asked in a husky voice, “Am I?” Without waiting for Jiang Jingyue to answer, he swallowed, his gaze quietly blazing, and continued, “Then, dear owner… would you lower your noble head and let your most loyal big dog kiss you?” Jiang Jingyue’s heart raced, scorched by the heat in his eyes. She froze for a moment, then, as if possessed, cupped his face and bent down to kiss him. - Only later did Jiang Jingyue learn that Gu Yaoye, this “wild horse,” had handed her the reins long ago. His secret love for her was deafening, and it had been planned for a long time. "So this is what it means to be deeply in love: even a snowy night turns warm."

Until one stormy night, drunk, she cornered the man in the bathroom and gazed at him with misty, pleading eyes. “Young Master Gu, would you like to explore the wonders of the human body together?” Gu Chen: “?” After that night, they became hopelessly entangled. Until Xie Yao received an offer to study abroad. That day, she stayed up with Gu Chen until the middle of the night. When she woke at dawn, Xie Yao lifted the arm draped across her waist and calmly announced, “Let’s break up. I’m getting a little bored.” The sleepy man opened his eyes and watched her back for a moment, then turned over with a cold expression. “Were we even together? How can you break up with me?” Xie Yao: “…” Years later, they reunited at a work dinner. In the cramped bathroom, Xie Yao leaned close to Gu Chen’s red, delicate lips. He stopped her by gripping her chin and sneered, “Are you my woman? What gives you the right to kiss me?” With the alcohol going to her head, she reached through his shirt and felt his abs, answering with utter confidence, “I used to be.” Gu Chen: “…” Before long, they got married. Xie Yao knew their marriage was just a mutually beneficial arrangement, and that it would end someday. So on the snowy night she drove Gu Chen out of the house in anger, she sensibly prepared divorce papers and waited for him to come home. Half an hour later, the man returned covered in snow, carrying her favorite Black Forest cake. When he saw the divorce papers on the coffee table, his eyes darkened. “Can you afford the penalty for breaking our contract before you divorce me?” Xie Yao froze. She had completely forgotten about that clause. By the time she came to her senses, Gu Chen had already sat down beside her. Frowning, he unwrapped the cake. “When you’re done eating, remember to come make it up to me.” Xie Yao: “…” Years later, while Xie Yao was away on a business trip, Gu Chen had a long-overdue reunion with his friends. They teased him for being the number one “simp” in Beijing. He took issue with that. “A simp? I’m what you call a ‘puppy husband.’” His friends: “…” Also known as #After Getting Dumped, I’ll Be a Coldhearted Ex-Husband# #We Reunited, and If I Catch Feelings Again, I’m a Damn Dog# #After We Married: What Dog?
