[A scheming heiress with eight hundred tricks x A rebellious princeling from Beijing’s elite circle]
Marriage first, love later x Unrequited love becomes mutual
1.
When Wen Xirui was ten, she overheard a relative say that she was a stray child her family had picked up by the roadside. To protect her status as a wealthy heiress, she learned to say whatever people wanted to hear.
To maintain her image as a sweet, sensible girl, she volunteered to marry into the He family, whose company was then the largest in Beijing’s elite circle.
She assumed she would marry He Yuze, the He family’s elegant eldest son, and initially had no objections.
But one day, when both families sat down to dinner together, Chairman He and his wife kept apologizing to her family because their younger son hadn’t shown up, while He Yuze didn’t even look at her.
She suddenly realized that the man she was going to marry was none other than He Qiyan, the notorious, unruly playboy who did everything except anything worthwhile!
2.
When He Qiyan learned that his family had arranged a marriage for him, he gave a lazy “Oh” and didn’t care in the slightest.
He figured he could just give her a few million every month and put on a show for both families’ elders during the holidays.
But one day, the gentle and generous heiress of the Wen family, as she was known, came to see him in person.
Then, with a cold expression, she tossed a marriage agreement in front of him and used every threat and temptation she could think of to make him sign it.
His mind went completely blank. Wasn’t she the woman he’d fallen in love with at first sight, only to never cross paths with again?
Seeing how Wen Xirui’s gentle mask hid a look that showed she couldn’t care less about him, He Qiyan became intrigued and said with a smirk, “There’s one thing I don’t agree with.”
Wen Xirui glanced up at him, wearing her signature fake smile on a face so beautiful it was almost intimidating.
“We have to share a bed, too? What if you take advantage of me?”
For the first time, the usually unflappable Wen Xirui’s expression changed. She snapped, “You’ve got some nerve,” then turned and walked away.
3. [Bonus Scene]
On their second wedding anniversary, He Qiyan suddenly asked Wen Xirui, “Do celebrities hate being photographed without their permission?”
Wen Xirui blinked, then smiled. “If it’s a fan taking the picture, and it turns out nice, I won’t be mad.”
As soon as she finished speaking, he handed her a photograph. It looked like he’d taken it secretly when she was tricked into going skiing at the club he ran.
At the same time, his warm, teasing voice sounded by her ear:
“Then from now on, I’m your fan.”
Wen Xirui froze, then rose onto her tiptoes and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips.
He answered with a deep kiss, full of possessive desire.
