Defeated by Her

[Main story complete]

Meng Pingge and Jiang Zhi met again at a party.

Jiang Zhi was as rebellious as ever, with a roguish charm and carefree air. Every gesture of his was utterly languid, drawing everyone's gaze like starlight in the Milky Way.

Their eyes met from afar, then they both looked away, pretending not to know each other.

Just then, someone eager for gossip asked, "I hear you two know each other?"

Meng Pingge raised an eyebrow. "Let's not get into that."

Jiang Zhi looked at her, his expression dark on his exquisitely handsome face.

Until one day, later on.

Beneath the kitchen's warm yellow light, a strong arm circled the woman's soft waist and held her in place. She stumbled straight into a sturdy embrace.

After a passionate kiss, Jiang Zhi lowered his long lashes and laughed breathlessly. "Do we know each other now?"

His heated breath brushed over her, and Meng Pingge went weak all over.

-

Word got around that Jiang Zhi had a private assistant named Meng Pingge, and people suspected the two of them were having an affair.

More people shook their heads. Jiang Zhi was so picky, how could he possibly be interested in someone like her?

Who could have guessed that in the blink of an eye, Jiang Zhi would appear at the company anniversary party holding Meng Pingge's hand. "Hello, everyone. Let me introduce you. This is my wife."

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded.

No one knew that Jiang Zhi's supposed pickiness was only because his heart had already fallen into the hands of a woman named Meng Pingge.

Blurb: Yun Ye had a terrible day.

First, just before she was supposed to register her marriage, she discovered that her blind date was a terrible person.

Then she sprained her ankle on her way out of the civil affairs bureau.

She also cried her makeup off on the plane.

Worst of all, her cream cake landed on the expensive suit of the man sitting beside her.

He sat ramrod straight, with a composed air and sharply defined features. Every strand of his hair proclaimed him an industry elite.

Yun Ye apologized again and again. "I'm so sorry, sir! How much was the suit? I'll pay you back!"

But he said, "No need. I don't need money. But I do need someone to marry by agreement. Would you consider it?"

Yun Ye clenched her fist. "Do I look like the kind of person who'd agree to something like that?!"

He calmly replied, "I'm respectable and won't fool around. I own several properties and a few luxury cars, and you can use my black card without limits. Buy an island or a handbag, whatever you like..."

Yun Ye: "I'll do it!"

Shen Ruchen laid down three rules with her:

I'm easygoing about most things. There's just one thing to keep in mind: after we get married, I want us to do our own thing and act as if the other doesn't exist.

Yun Ye nodded. Totally fine, no problem. No one is better at being invisible than me!

Who could have expected that Yun Ye would follow every rule, yet Shen Ruchen would still find fault with everything she did?

Shen Ruchen was unhappy when Yun Ye went drinking and hiking with her childhood friend.

He was unhappy that Yun Ye didn't invite him to her birthday party.

He was still unhappy when Yun Ye swooned over a handsome man.

Yun Ye couldn't understand. "Weren't you the one who wanted us to live separate lives? Why do you seem unhappy?"

Shen Ruchen closed his eyes, losing his composure, then suddenly leaned toward her. "Because I'm sick!"
