Gu Jinnian x Xu Wanjue
Who went and tricked my wife away!!!
"Wanjue, I'll leave the family alliance marriage to you!"
But she and Gu Jinnian had only met a handful of times. With the intimidating aura Gu Jinnian gave off, making it clear that no one should approach, how could Xu Wanjue ever get close?
Xu Wanjue didn't expect much. She would just do her duty as Mrs. Gu, right? Except, it seemed there wasn't much of a duty to do.
Gu Jinnian asked nothing of her, and she simply watched him from afar.
On their wedding night, Xu Wanjue and Gu Jinnian were like two banks of a river, each staying on their own side!
Sure enough, he said to her, "Woman, I won't touch you."
Early the next morning, he tossed her a bank card. "There's fifty million in here. You know what to do and what not to do."
Xu Wanjue nodded obediently. "I understand, Mr. Gu."
"Don't call me Mr. Gu. You're my wife."
In the tiniest voice: "Wife."

Xu Wanjue diligently upheld her family's responsibilities and tried her best to fulfill her duty as a wife.
But...
The maid said to her, "Miss, don't you long for freedom?"
The butler said to her, "Miss, the car is ready."
The secretary would whisper, "Miss, you can always count on me."
Even passersby walking by the mansion kept waving at her. "Miss, do you need me to call the police for you?"
Ah... The delicate, pretty little Xu Wanjue pointed at herself. Were they telling her to run away?
The maid, butler, secretary, and passersby: Yes, yes!
Xu Wanjue tried stepping outside the Gu mansion. Just as expected, Gu Jinnian caught her and brought her back, asking why she'd run away.
Xu Wanjue had promised the butler, the secretary... all of them that she'd keep their secret! She wouldn't say a word.
So Gu Jinnian held her and played video games with her all day, kissing her lips the whole time.
Xu Wanjue: I get it. If I run away, Gu Jinnian will play games with me and kiss me.
So Xu Wanjue ran away again.
Gu Jinnian caught her and brought her back yet again.
At last, the two of them did that thing.

At Gu Group's conference room, ever since getting married, Mr. Gu often left meetings halfway through.
The first time, he said, "My wife is missing."
The second time, he said, "My wife ran away."
The third time, he said, "My wife ran away again."
The fourth time, he said, "Who on earth keeps tricking my wife into leaving!!!"
