Married First, Fell in Love Later with a Romance-Obsessed CEO

Complete. The entire novel has been carefully edited. We are not responsible for any pirated copies.

The story of a gloomy puppy climbing to the top is now underway: a CEO who is great at training people × an extremely gloomy, shamelessly sycophantic, abstract loyal puppy. The next book is Your Dog Hair Is Stuck to Me Again.

Hearing impaired, healing, sexually inexperienced male lead, gloomy man, male pregnancy, pathetic love-struck man who deludes himself into thinking he's winning her over

Hearing-impaired, laid-back darling × gloomy, lovesick tech mogul

After many years apart, they meet again at a matchmaking event. Their first topic is, surprisingly:

"Let's get married for a year under a contract. I'll give you everything you want."

Jian Xing looks at the unfamiliar man before her and replies perfunctorily, "I'm deaf. What makes you think I'm worth marrying? Are you trying to shorten your life?"

Their families are on close terms. In front of their parents, Jian Xing merely smiles, but in private she continues to keep him at arm's length.

"Why me?"

"You don't love me, and you don't want my money. Same goes for me."

Though Jian Xing rejects him over and over, Qi Rang acts as if he doesn't care while quietly insinuating himself into every aspect of her life.

Winning over her parents, acting like a puppy, finding male models at a fashion show, giving her a company...

Jian Xing pays little attention, but just then she suddenly starts getting frequent messages from her ex-boyfriend.

Qi Rang has a nickname in business: Mad Dog. Anyone who provokes him gets torn to shreds.

He always seems to lord it over them as he berates them.

But after meeting Jian Xing again, he transforms into a gloomy, pathetic, love-struck man.

Friend: [You personally play the perfect, devoted housekeeper for her every day?]

Friend: [You scour the world for gems and jade, then tell her they're fake and just for fun?]

Friend: [You even gave her the company you traded your life for?]

Friend: [I hear you secretly collect her things and lock them in a safe, compete with the dog for her affection, and even volunteered to sleep in the dog's bed. She even hit you after you brought her a male model, and you just stared at her, drooling and getting nosebleeds...]

Friend: [Are you even human? You sold my good name just so no one would interrupt you two pretending to be friends? My good name!]

Qi Rang is in a hurry to get back and cook, and dismisses his friend's teasing: [So what? ×N]

But even though he lets her trample his dignity underfoot, nothing can stop Jian Xing from wanting to escape him.

His friend tries to advise him, saying, "The tighter you hold on, the faster the sand slips away," but Qi Rang refuses to listen.

Back then, he had no power or influence and could only watch helplessly as they separated. He knew she was hurt but could do nothing to help. He was hurt and slandered just for trying to get the slightest news about her.

Now, after finally marrying her, he will never let go of Jian Xing's hand, no matter what happens. She won't dislike him, she won't find someone else, and even death won't part them!

But one casually spoken sentence from Jian Xing makes him waver.

A newlywed-night skit:

[What should I do?]

[Why can't I manage it, even after trying once, twice?]

Best friend: [Heh heh, here's a suggestion: get divorced early?]

On a deserted island at night.

"Can't you do it?"

"Should we try again in the kitchen, or do you prefer the pool? The stairs..."

Large pearls spill from his eyes. He looks as though he's about to shatter, yet the movements below his neck only grow more vigorous.

"Don't divorce me, okay? Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby..."

"I only have you."

"Is that okay?"

"No..."

"Is this not okay? Then I'll try harder and put in more effort."

The next evening, Jian Xing gives him several sharp slaps. Damn it, he'd twisted her words and used up half a month's worth in a single day and night.

Tomorrow, she's definitely making him switch places with the dog!

Jian Xing: Breathes.

Qi Rang: She's breathing the same air as me. She loves me.

Jian Xing: Smiles.

Qi Rang: So sweet. She must love me, that's why she smiled at me.

Jian Xing: ?

Qi Rang: She's only this close with family. She must have accepted me from the bottom of her heart. She loves me so much.

Jian Xing: ? (confused face)

Qi Rang: Wags his tail furiously!

Friend: [Stop acting so pathetic. Stop deluding yourself into thinking she's won over! The employees know you're a pathetic lovesick fool who sticks to her like a dog plaster. They're gossiping about you.]

Qi Rang: [You have no right to talk. You're even more pathetic, you don't even dare propose. Get out of here, quick. She's the only one who's allowed to breathe this air with me.]

The Story of a Gloomy Puppy Climbing to the Top

Devoted dog, marriage before love, obsession, older woman and younger man, two gloomy men

A CEO who doesn't know she's teasing him × an abstract, pathetic, gloomy, devoted younger man

Back then, Mu Yunye also wanted nothing more than to die with her. He never imagined that one day he would love her with his whole life, willingly surrendering his body, reason, and soul to her.

Zhou Zhou discovers Mu Yunye spying on and following her, only to get beaten up by her and end up in the hospital, even using the hospital bathroom to save her money. She can only think that he's utterly bizarre and mentally unstable.

"Are you paralyzed?" "No."

"Or intellectually disabled?" "Heh heh, no."

"Brain-dead?" "No."

"Did a childhood fever fry your brain?" "How could it?"

Zhou Zhou finds him deeply unpleasant and wants nothing to do with him.

Zhou Zhou has never met anyone like Mu Yunye: capable, uninterested in money, and willing to do whatever she says. He's like a free puppet.

So when her family forces her into an arranged marriage, she brings an unfair contract to him.

At that moment, her first love, who seems sunny on the surface but is gloomy underneath and considers her his own, suddenly returns from abroad.

At all times, Zhou Zhou must maintain her composure. Repressed, irritated.

When he says he's pitiful, she wants to play with him mercilessly. When he acts mischievous and wants to rebel, she wants to play with him mercilessly. When he does something bizarre, she wants to play with him mercilessly. Even when he does nothing, she wants to play with him mercilessly.

He always accepts whatever she dishes out, and always ends up prostrating himself at her feet with a devout look...

"Big Sis, please. I like it this way. It feels so good."

"Big Sis, how are you so amazing? You're so clever and beautiful, and you can do everything. I'm so happy to be by your side."

"Big Sis, after eating the dessert I made, shouldn't you have me for the main course? Give me another lick..."

He's always so sincere, so full of admiration for her, and she can't help but become just as obsessed...

People who love a laugh always come up with bizarre ways to mess with others. Today it's "get up early and go collect manure," tomorrow it's "drill a hole in the back of his family's Pixiu statue," and the day after it's "kill the money tree by watering it with dog urine" or "scrape off every good-luck character other people have put up"...

Gradually, she finds herself lying on Mu Yunye's broad chest every day, gossiping about everyone. Sometimes she wonders if her morals are getting worse and worse. It's all that bad dog's fault. But his body and looks are top-tier, and he's good at acting cute, doing laundry and cooking, and facing any danger. He's an all-around talent, so she can only spoil him. At the very least, she has to wring him dry before she tosses him aside.

Meanwhile, her first love, who has always maintained a sterling image, lowers himself and indulges her in every way, almost seductively trying to pull her back "onto the right path."

"Didn't you want to become someone like me? He'll only ruin you. Whatever you've done to him, you can do to me. Give him up and choose me."

"No!"

But after hearing this conversation a hundred times, and with outside pressure mounting, she begins to waver.

"My name is Zhou Zhou because I was drinking congee that day."

"Mu Yunye got his name because I said, 'Look, there's a cloud outside. It looks so disgusting.'"

"I fought tooth and nail to get a new name: Tilly."

"Lovett, I belong only to you. I'll love Tilly forever!"

Coming soon

Your Dog Hair Is Stuck to Me Again

The next morning, she wakes up, sees a young man beside her, and screams.

The dog she brought home just yesterday has barged in and is licking the man's face. The man pushes the dog away in disgust, clutches the blanket, and looks at her with a wounded expression.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm going to report you for breaking into my home and attempting to..."

"First, this is my room, and I have a rental contract. Second, you were the one who broke in and forced yourself on me last night. I took sleeping pills and couldn't resist, so you got your way. Third, leave immediately and take this dog with you."

He sounds so convincing that a memory of last night's erotic dream surfaces in Hua Yuan's mind. It seems she was the one who initiated it.

"Forget it. I can't be bothered to argue with you." She grabs the dog and runs upstairs to her room, where she pounds the bed in regret.

She thinks that will be the end of it, but a few days later Su Chen shows up with a marriage contract. "You have to take responsibility for me. We have to get married."

Whenever Hua Yuan asks him to do something, he always snaps back, then hurries to get it done perfectly. After a while, Hua Yuan has no choice but to give him orders, because the harsher her tone, the faster he moves.

*

Much later, Hua Yuan has figured out how to get along with Su Chen: slap him once, then randomly give him a treat.

"Xiao Chen, today's meal doesn't look as good as the ones you made before. Put some effort into it!"

"Xiao Chen, go find that denim jacket for me."

"Xiao Chen, can you clean up all the dog hair, cat hair, and your hair?"

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen! Go keep an eye on the pet shop, too..."

Hua Yuan lounges around petting the cat and dog. All she has to do is give Su Chen a little kiss after ordering him around, and he calms right down. As she placates him, she also teases him: "See how good I am to you? I don't even have the heart to make you wash your underwear with a cold face. Come here for a kiss. There, now go tidy up the garden. You'll get a reward tonight."

"Thanks so much, but I don't want a reward." He works with a satisfied smile on his face.

"No, you have to have one!" Hua Yuan says firmly, as though ordering him around. But she knows that this is the only way Su Chen can feel good.

Theme: You can always ask me for the positive love you deserve.
