Drunk on Married Life

[I will finish this, just wait for me, QAQ]

Cool beauty × powerful investor, eight-year age gap, coercive love.

Ning Yan and her husband, Gu Wei, were introduced by their families. Her best friend warned her that Gu Wei was handsome, but his eyes crinkled at the corners, making him look like the type to cheat. Ning Yan just smiled, unfazed.

Five months into their marriage, they treated each other with polite distance. Everyone envied Gu Wei for marrying such a beautiful woman.

At a gathering with friends, Ning Yan heard him complain, "What beauty? She's a block of wood in bed. So boring."

Ning Yan merely smiled. He wasn't wrong.

Pei Yanze had become a prominent figure in the capital in recent years, with influence in both business and politics and a ruthless way of doing things. When he first arrived in Linchuan, someone organized a welcome dinner. Ning Yan, who worked in business development, left a deep impression on him. During the dinner, he heard people teasing her, saying that Ning Yan, the number one beauty of Yungang, had married young and was blissfully in love.

Pei Yanze smiled as he rubbed his fingers against his wineglass, grinding a crack into it.

After the banquet, Pei Yanze offered to take Ning Yan home, but she declined. Her expression was cool, and her tone polite but distant. "No need to trouble yourself, Mr. Pei. My husband is coming to get me."

In the end, Gu Wei did cheat on her.

Ning Yan calmly dealt with everything: divorce, moving, selling the house...

She moved back into the little apartment she had bought before marriage, which had been empty until then. Suddenly, someone moved into the unit across the hall. It was Pei Yanze.

One stormy night, Ning Yan knocked on his door. "Pei Yanze, can I come in?"

Gu Wei wouldn't leave her alone. He showed up at Ning Yan's door, putting on a tearful show and making a scene, when the door across the hall suddenly opened.

Pei Yanze stood there in a black silk robe, tall and elegant, the open collar revealing unmistakable signs of intimacy.

"Sir, if you don't leave, I'll call the police and report you for disturbing the peace."

A woman's soft moan came from behind the half-closed door. "Yanze, it's cold with the door open."

Gu Wei recognized that voice.

It was Ning Yan's.

Bonus Scene:

Pei Yanze's hands were tied to the headboard with a ribbon. Watching Ning Yan slowly approach, he smiled. "Gu Wei will never know how passionately a block of wood can burn."
