[The Heirs series]
[Everyone's favorite x possessive]
[Marriage first, love later / Both leads are sexually inexperienced / The male lead falls first]
Because it was her grandmother's dying wish, Jiang Jiuli married into the Wen family.
Six months into their marriage, they acted like a devoted couple in front of their elders, but went their separate ways in private. While she was surrounded by a crowd of handsome young male classmates, the Wen family's rebellious young master was just as busy enjoying himself in the world of wine and women.
That is, until one night at a drinks party, when a friend offended someone dangerous in the private room next door, and Jiang Jiuli stepped in to smooth things over.
"Mr. Wen, do me a favor." She swept her long hair back and pretended not to know him.
The man lounged on the sofa, idly twirling his car keys. He lifted his eyes and glanced at the row of young men behind her, then gave an amused, inscrutable laugh.
He pointed to the sign on the wall. "Niannian."
"Students are not allowed inside." Jiang Jiuli: "..."
The next second, the car keys landed in her arms. The man in front of her said, "Go home."
The thing Jiang Jiuli had heard most often in her life was a confession of love.
On her first day as an intern, a suitor turned up outside her office building with a bouquet of roses and boldly declared his love. Wen Hechen, the group's president, walked out of the building with both hands in his trouser pockets and no expression on his face.
As he passed, he casually said, "Top-floor suite at the International Trade Center. Be there by eight."
Jiang Jiuli held her breath.
Her suitor stared, stunned. "J-Jiang, is Mr. Wen your...?"
Jiang Jiuli pressed her lips together and gave a faint smile. "My brother."
At that, this so-called brother gave her a long, inscrutable look.
That night, in their marital bedroom, Jiang Jiuli was suddenly lifted from her sleep. She instinctively threw her arms around his neck, clinging to him as she gazed up at him in confusion.
Wen Hechen's face was cold and stern. "Can you just lie in your brother's bed whenever you like?"
An old man just isn't as lovable as a sweet young puppy!
At first, Jiang Jiuli waited for their marriage to expire so they could divorce, looking forward to the carefree life of a single college student. Later, she realized there was no way she could get a divorce.
Jiang Jiuli laid her cards on the table. "We have no future. I've been playing with you this whole time."
He propped his cheek on one hand. "I like it when someone plays with my feelings."
Jiang Jiuli: "..."
At graduation, Jiang Jiuli went onstage dressed to the nines. As the male students in the audience admired her beauty, Wen Hechen appeared behind them and asked in a low voice, "Is my wife beautiful?"
