A Passionate Romance After Marrying the Cool CEO

Gentle, slow-to-catch-on independent musician * aloof, scheming CEO / married life / a little groveling redemption Xia Muxue had been invisible in the Xia family for twenty years. Then one day, she was ushered into a bridal shop like a princess. Inside, a cool and dazzling beauty sat on the sofa. Xia Muxue recognized her as a regular in the financial magazines: a rising tech mogul and head of a wealthy family, Shen Jibai. She was also the woman engaged to Xia Muxue’s younger sister. Xia Muxue held her breath, afraid to look too closely, and slipped into a fitting room. But Shen Jibai followed her inside. Amid the layers of white tulle, Shen Jibai stood tall and composed behind Xia Muxue. She gripped her chin, forcing her to look up and meet her eyes in the full-length mirror. “From now on, you’ll have to learn to… please me.” * Xia Muxue married into the Shen family in her younger sister’s place. She thought Shen Jibai would be as cold, haughty, and uncaring as the rumors claimed, and that they wouldn’t have much to do with each other after the wedding. She never expected Shen Jibai to come home every night and insist that she fulfill her “wifely duties”… In their luxurious penthouse, every corner of the living room, the bathtub, and the kitchen held intimate memories of the two of them. * The last-minute switch on the eve of the marriage turned the Xia family into a laughingstock among the wealthy. Everyone gleefully bet that the cold and heartless CEO Shen would kick the Xia family’s impostor out within three months. But they waited and waited. Even after the Xia family went bankrupt, Shen Jibai still didn’t divorce her. Instead, affectionate details about their life together kept making the rounds. Today, she took Mrs. Shen to an auction. Tomorrow, she took her on vacation to a private island. She even turned her into a hot new musician. At a banquet, Xia Muxue’s younger sister made a scene, splashing a glass of red wine over Xia Muxue before security dragged her out, screaming. In front of everyone, Shen Jibai, usually so aloof and heartless, lowered her eyes and slowly dabbed Xia Muxue’s chest with an expensive handkerchief. A playful smile curved her lips. “Honey, red wine really suits your skin tone…” Xia Muxue’s waist tightened, and her cheeks flushed red. Looks like she’ll be busy again once they get home. * Please add my upcoming book, 《A Contract Marriage with an Obsessive CEO》, to your collection: Gentle, resilient white moonlight * possessive, obsessive CEO / bittersweet push and pull / a little confinement / groveling redemption After her family goes bankrupt and her fiancée calls off their engagement, twenty-five-year-old Wen Shuyao hits the darkest point of her life.
