[Flirtatious Pipa Beauty VS Refined Business Tycoon]

[Long-Considered Scheme / Marriage of Convenience / Married First, Love Later]

Wen Ting Shen, president of Huaning, is an aloof and distinguished man whose background is a mystery. There are few reports about him in the industry.

Lin Weiyun had been searching for him for three years. When they met again in an ancient town, all she wanted was the priceless family heirloom in his possession: a five-string pipa.

On the day she left town, he chased her to the airport and proposed an outrageous deal.

"This time, I'm not asking to collaborate. Would you marry me?"

"Mr. Wen, don't push your luck."

"The bride price is the five-string pipa."

Lin Weiyun believed in honoring the terms of their marriage contract. They were equals, both entering the arrangement willingly and getting what they wanted.

That was until her graduation ceremony. Standing on the stage, she looked down and saw the man's gentle, elegant figure in the front row of seats reserved for family.

Between the shifting lights, his deep, captivating eyes gazed at her from afar.

Later, emboldened by alcohol, she stopped holding back and pushed him down.

"Would falling in love with you count as breaking the contract?"

"Yes."

"How much would the penalty be?"

"Your whole life, and all of mine."

After waking from a night of wild abandon, she slammed a divorce agreement down on his desk. "You broke the contract!"

But the man calmly took off his glasses and pulled her into his lap, his voice husky and tender in her ear.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Wen. I lost control."

Wen Ting Shen: "Loving you isn't breaking the contract. It's following my heart and honoring our agreement."

"Post-Marriage Bonus Scene"

As soon as the show A Journey Through Chinese Style aired, it became an instant hit online.

The girl who played the pipa with such grace and flair in the opening number dazzled countless viewers.

"Aaaaaah! I love this girl!"

"You can always count on Lin Weiyun! She's a pipa virtuoso through and through!"

Behind the stage that day, before Lin Weiyun had a chance to go on, the man pulled her behind the backdrop.

After kissing her, he brushed a finger over the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, his voice low and deep. "Mrs. Wen, tone it down a little. Don't look so seductive."

Lin Weiyun licked her split lip and gave him a haughty look.

I was born with bewitching eyes. What can I do about it?

[Bright, short-tempered heroine X Gentle, restrained, highly educated CEO]

The day Sang Jiu reunited with Meng Subai, her younger sister Sang Yue happened to ask whether she'd met any unforgettable handsome men on her cruise to Harbor City four years ago.

The tavern's music made her feel pleasantly tipsy. Sang Jiu recalled with a perfectly straight face: "There really was one. A gentleman in a suit when dressed, a fine specimen with lean muscles when undressed, 190 centimeters tall, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, eight-pack abs and a sharply defined V-line. He'd bring you chocolate when you were sad and sweep you up in one arm when you were scared. He had impeccable values, a flawless face, thick brows, big eyes, a high nose, and a beauty mark between his brows. He was sexy, but had an almost divine air."

Her sister chuckled. "Sis, have you watched too many short dramas?"

Sang Jiu chuckled too, but didn't answer.

The next moment, the wind stirred the curtain, and Meng Subai walked in through the door.

Sang Jiu didn't dare confess that this very divine-looking man had been thoroughly seduced by her the night before their cruise returned to port, only for her to abandon him and run away, claiming she'd blacked out!

After all, in her innocent sister's eyes, her beloved big sister and brother-in-law had been happily married for years, with a loving and stable relationship!

-

Sang Jiu never thought that she and Meng Subai, after going their separate ways, would ever meet again. Nor did she expect that four years later, a man as distinguished as him would be cornered in her bedroom.

"Please, don't make a sound."

The heady scent of roses still lingered just beyond the wall.

Forced to sit on the bed, Meng Subai unconsciously grasped something silky and soft. It fit in one hand. He lowered his head and looked.

Thin, pure-black lace, small enough to fit in his palm when bunched up

It was a slip nightgown she'd just taken off Sang Jiu.

Sure enough, sneaking around comes with consequences.

After finally seeing her boyfriend off, Sang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, too drained to complain.

Behind her, the man who had heard every word of her affectionate exchange with her boyfriend picked up his coat, a careless smile playing at the corner of his lips.

"Your boyfriend is quite the envy of every man, Boss Sang."
