A Winter Wedding

[One-line pitch: Through a twist of fate, she became her ex-boyfriend's aunt by marriage. It's unbelievably satisfying.]

On the rainiest day Beicheng had seen in years, Jiang Qian's boyfriend cheated on her.

She stopped her ex-boyfriend's third uncle's car, eyes red, and asked, "Would you marry me?"

The window lowered halfway, revealing the man's refined features. The sharp, angular lines of his profile were just as cold and sinister as the rumors said.

When Jiang Qian saw that he wasn't answering, she steadied her trembling legs and suppressed her racing heart. She began listing the many advantages of marrying her. She had barely finished two points when the man cast her a languid, piercing look and said in a cool voice, "Fine. I'll marry you."

Jiang Qian's best friend asked why she was so determined to marry Fu Xiao. Didn't she know he was hard to deal with?

Jiang Qian lifted her cup of milk tea and gazed straight ahead. "I want to become my ex-boyfriend's aunt."

As luck would have it, Fu Xiao had just walked in and heard her.

That night, by the floor-to-ceiling window, the man's cool, pale fingertips traced behind her ear, brushing the red marks on the side of her neck as he said, "Last night, when you held me and kissed me, you said you loved me to death."

"Come on. Show me how you love me."

After successfully becoming her ex-boyfriend's aunt, Jiang Qian soon faced a serious problem.

Xiao became her direct supervisor.

By day, the man always wore a cold expression and addressed her in a stern tone: "Assistant Jiang."

Every now and then, she even had to endure his sarcastic remarks.

Her coworkers felt terribly sorry for her. They thought she had it so rough that they all advised her to quit and find another job.

Jiang Qian: ...I can't. He still has our marriage certificate.

Fu Xiao, head of the Fu Group, was cold, sinister, and ascetic. He never went easy on anyone, yet Jiang Qian was the one who made him break his own rules.

He gave her all his affection.

One day, Jiang Qian walked toward the CEO's office with a stack of documents. Fu Xiao said coolly, "Close the door."

Jiang Qian turned around with a pained expression and closed it, then lowered the blinds. Her coworkers saw what was happening from outside and couldn't help clicking their tongues. There he goes again, bullying Assistant Jiang.

Can't President Fu stop picking on her?

Inside the office, Fu Xiao really was bullying Jiang Qian mercilessly. He lifted her onto his lap and gripped her chin between his fingertips, teasing her lips. "If you don't announce our marriage soon, you can stop being my assistant too."

Jiang Qian: ...Sob, sob. The boss is bullying me again.
