* A story in the Love at First Sight series
* A marriage that turns into love
1.
Yu Jingxi comes from one of the capital's most prestigious families and is the newly appointed successor to the Yu family conglomerate. Praised since childhood, she's always been the center of attention.
When Xie Xinlou came to see her, she assessed him.
His face, figure, ability, and background were all more or less up to standard.
They hit it off right away. They would talk business, not feelings. This marriage would meet both their needs.
On their wedding night, Xie Xinlou took off his tie and tossed it onto the bench at the foot of the bed. Watching the woman remove her earrings at the vanity, he said lazily, "Miss Yu, we can leave feelings out of it, but I'm not planning to play house with you."

Yu Jingxi was invited to appear on a talk show. When the conversation turned to love, the host asked about her ideal type. Yu Jingxi gave just one answer: "Jianguo."
In the marital home Yu Jingxi shared with Xie Xinlou lived a well-fed Alaskan Malamute named Jianguo.
When the interview came out, everyone watching cried, "This doesn't look good." Asked about her ideal type, Yu Jingxi would rather name a dog than her actual husband.
This couple, who were only married in name, couldn't even be bothered to keep up appearances. They were probably finished.
Hearing that the couple were on the verge of divorce, their friends came over to find out what was going on. They soon discovered that despite living under the same roof, the two acted like strangers and ignored each other.
Since they couldn't reconcile them, they might as well encourage a breakup.
After several rounds of drinks, though, no one could find Xie Xinlou.
They finally spotted him in the corridor of the villa garden, crouched on the ground and tugging back and forth on [Jianguo]'s paw, his teeth clenched.
"Has the world really changed so much that you get to swagger around in front of me now?"
