After her boyfriend cheats on her before their wedding, Xu Chuyi sleeps with his fiercest rival in the business world in a fit of anger.
The next day, the man sits beside the bed, calmly straightening his shirt. "I'll have my special assistant discuss the wedding arrangements with you later."
Even getting married is something he leaves to his special assistant, so Xu Chu lets down her guard. After being hurt by a jerk, she's seen things clearly: from now on, she'll only deal in benefits, not feelings.
But on their wedding night, the moment He Lingxiao touches the hem of Xu Chu's nightdress, he pulls his hand back.
His gaze is deep, and his voice is low. "You don't want this?"
A flush spreads across Xu Chu's fair skin. She sits up, her hair disheveled. "I'm not ready yet."
He Lingxiao leans over her, bracing himself with both hands at her sides. "When will you be ready?"
Xu Chu wipes the moisture from her lips, close to tears. "Mr. He, stop pretending. We agreed we'd go our separate ways after we got married."
He Lingxiao raises an eyebrow slightly. "Who agreed to that with you?"
"Your special assistant..."
At that, He Lingxiao gives a faint, knowing smile and slowly grips Xu Chu's chin. "Then go argue it out with him."
Everyone who knows He Lingxiao knows he is proud, untamed, and indifferent to love. But who could have imagined that the moment he first saw Xu Chu, he had already fallen hopelessly in love with her?
