The news that Shen Yaoxin and Yu Xincheng were getting married spread, and everyone was instantly in an uproar.
Two months ago, photos of the two of them in bed had gone viral in their social circle. Everyone had been waiting to see her make a fool of herself, wondering how she’d deal with having slept with her younger sister’s fiancé.
No one expected the bride in the wealthy-family alliance to be replaced outright.
Everyone was stunned. The eldest Shen daughter, who never fought or competed for anything, had made her move and landed the biggest prize of all.
At their first public appearance after the wedding, Shen Yaoxin appeared nestled in Yu Xincheng’s arms. He was handsome, she was beautiful, and they whispered to each other with tender affection. They looked completely in love.
No one knew that Shen Yaoxin’s tone was far from kind.
Watching her younger sister in the crowd, she sneered. “Look at those big eyes, all red. They’re about to bleed. Feeling heartbroken again?”
Yu Xincheng didn’t answer.
That night, Shen Yaoxin was thoroughly ravished.
She got her answer.
-
Shen Yaoxin had never actually planned to marry Yu Xincheng. At first, she’d only approached him because she wanted to get under Shen Xinian’s skin.
She and her half-sister had never gotten along, not even as children.
She didn’t know how the photos meant to humiliate Shen Xinian had gotten out, but she understood that she was the one who owed Yu Xincheng in this rotten match.
So they had agreed long ago: for as long as their marriage lasted, he could have whatever he wanted from her, whether or not either of them meant it.
-
Yu Xincheng’s assistant had a secret he would take to his grave.
Everyone assumed Shen Yaoxin had used the bed photos that went viral back then to force Yu Xincheng into marriage.
But the truth was exactly the opposite.
At the time, Shen Xinian, then the Yu family’s future daughter-in-law, had stormed into the CEO’s office with a document envelope. After a loud argument, she slammed the door on her way out.
Once she was gone, Yu Xincheng called his assistant in.
The man spun his watch around his wrist, smiling brightly. He didn’t look at all like someone who had just argued with his fiancée.
The assistant took the photos his boss handed him and stood frozen for a long moment.
Yu Xincheng smiled, calculating as ever. “Make a lot of copies, and send them to both families’ elders as fast as you can.”
