Someone egged her on. "President Su, I'll invest, but you have to either share a nuptial cup with me or toast President Gu and get him to drink your wine." Su Tang glanced at the man seated at the head of the table. The current head of the Gu family, Gu Beiyan, was famous for his ruthless methods and disinterest in women. At that moment, he sat in relaxed, casual elegance, his proud, aloof features set above an expensive bespoke suit that seemed never to have touched a speck of dust. He was so far above everyone else that his presence alone sent a chill through the room. She looked away, then smiled sweetly at the man who had started it all. "It's only a nuptial cup, President Wang. You'd better keep your word." In the end, she never shared that nuptial cup. But that very night, her red gown was torn to shreds in Gu Beiyan's hands. The man held her firmly on his lap, his voice cool. "Mrs. Gu, you certainly have guts, daring to share a nuptial cup with another man." The Su family had once been illustrious, but had fallen on hard times in recent years. Su Tang's mother used the childhood betrothal to marry her daughter into the Gu family, making her Gu Beiyan's wife. Their friends, who knew the story, thought they were a poor match, and that their marriage was surely just for show. Gradually, everyone noticed that Gu Beiyan attended fewer and fewer gatherings. Even when he did show up, he would leave promptly at nine. His friends couldn't help asking, "Why are you in such a hurry to get home?" The man glanced up lazily. "To keep my wife company while she arranges flowers, reads, and exercises." Then he added pointedly, "There are plenty of interesting things to do. You wouldn't understand." Everyone exchanged skeptical looks. So, when the time seemed right, they called him without hesitation. At that moment, in the study of the Gu residence, the man had Su Tang nestled in his arms as they read together.

Please add it to your reading list-- Good news: Shen Yan's fiance cheated on her with his first love! Bad news: Shen Yan didn't get to break off the engagement! The reason was that Luo Qingshu, the first love's intended match, hadn't agreed to call off his own engagement. The scumbag couldn't marry the woman he loved, so he could only keep Shen Yan waiting, while the Shen family wasn't willing to give up the scumbag as a powerful connection. With no other choice, Shen Yan went to Luo Qingshu. Luo Qingshu was the youngest son of the Luo family. Rebellious since childhood, he looked as gentle and refined as jade, but was ruthless and decisive beneath the surface. Shen Yan had lived with the Luo family for a few years as a child. By seniority, she had to call him Uncle Luo. "Uncle Luo, someone as outstanding as you will never lack admirers." Shen Yan earnestly tried to persuade him. "Those two are in love. Why not be generous and let them be together?" Luo Qingshu savored his tea, unhurried. "You want me to break off the engagement? Fine. Find me another fiancee." Shen Yan: "..." Luo Qingshu was rebellious by nature and prided himself on being a lifelong bachelor. Yet he suddenly agreed to a marriage alliance with a woman from a mismatched family. Before three months had passed, his fiancee cheated on him. The scandal grew so big that even Old Master Luo didn't dare bring up marriage to Luo Qingshu again. One night, however, a friend suddenly received a message from him: "I'm getting married." The entire upper circle of Shanghai was thrown into a frenzy. Everyone speculated about which heiress Luo Qingshu had set his sights on this time. Until a video began circulating. In a hazy, candlelit bar, Luo Qingshu grabbed a woman's wrist and forcefully wrapped her in his suit jacket. The high-definition video captured the man's low, cool, yet indulgent voice. "Shen Yan, look at you, preferring a wildflower to the one at home?" Before the wedding, Luo Qingshu put it plainly: "I need a wife, and you need someone to rely on. We can help each other out." After they married, he seemed like a different person. "Shen Yan, you kissed me by force at your eighteenth birthday party. You owe me an explanation." One day, after he left her aching and weak-kneed, Shen Yan slipped into the man's study. She meant to cause trouble, but stumbled upon the truth. The huge cheating scandal had all been part of Luo Qingshu's scheme. He had cast a vast net and slowly drawn her into his world. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites!
