☆ Bright, flirtatious little tease X A gloomy Daddy who puts on quite an act

Yu Xianxian, a little-known model, had been married to Xiao Qingchuan, the head of a wealthy family, for two months. Unable to hold back, she complained to a friend that she wanted a divorce:

"I look at his financial reports like they're written in another language. And when he watches me rush around to appointments and get my makeup done, he looks at me like I'm a male model. Not a regular male model, but the kind you hire. You know what I mean? He's so high and mighty."

"You know I love having fun and being around people, but he likes peace and quiet. Whenever he sits beside me at a party, he looks like a dark-faced King of Hell."

"I've really tried my best to get along with him, but even in bed he's as tight-lipped as a saw. He doesn't know how to comfort me, and he never knows when to stop!"

"You know how much I hate being controlled, but he even wants to set a curfew for me!"

After hearing Yu Xianxian's complaints, her friend couldn't help asking, "If you're so incompatible, why haven't you divorced him yet?"

Before Yu Xianxian could answer, her phone suddenly buzzed. Xiao Qingchuan was right on time to enforce her "curfew":

Can you wrap up by ten? I'll have the driver pick you up.

[Transferred 1,000,000 yuan]

Looking at the amount on the screen and the man's flawless abs, on full display in the photo, Yu Xianxian licked her lips. Her ears turning red, she murmured, "He really does give me so much... And, oh my god, he's so good at it!"

Her friend: "..." Bragging while pretending to complain!

But one day, after Yu Xianxian came home drunk, Xiao Qingchuan gave her the cold shoulder and slept in a separate bed. At last, Yu Xianxian resolved to get a divorce.

While Xiao Qingchuan was out, she secretly took the divorce papers she'd prepared to his study.

To her surprise, she found his diary from after they got married. It was full of her photos, as well as his deranged declarations:

[Baby looked like a kitten in that outfit today. How can you be so beautiful? I want to hide you away, where only I can see you.]

[What kind of friend has to share a drink with my Xianxian?]

[Baby, I never dare say anything when we're in bed each night. I'm afraid the things I want to say will scare you away.]

[I miss you so much, wife. I don't want to be apart from you for even a second.]

The latest entry was from last night:

[My little drunk kitten Xianxian was so tempting... I can't sleep with you anymore, or I'll definitely ruin you.]

Who could have guessed that Xiao Qingchuan, so aloof and taciturn on the surface, was actually a gloomy, love-crazed lunatic in private?!

Yu Xianxian was stunned. She hurriedly dropped the divorce papers and tried to run, only to turn and collide with the familiar, broad chest of a tall man...

That night, Yu Xianxian was pinned against the floor-to-ceiling window in the study, the corners of her eyes flushed and her legs so weak she could barely stand. The man's strong arms held her up. Her lips parted, but she couldn't manage a single coherent word.

Instead, Xiao Qingchuan, who usually kept quiet and got straight to work, broke character. Pressed close to Yu Xianxian's ear, he asked in a low, husky voice, each word slow and clear: "Baby, do you still want to leave me?"

Later, at a famous fashion show.

Yu Xianxian, whose fame had recently skyrocketed, was surrounded by reporters. One bold reporter asked whether she and Xiao Qingchuan, head of the Xiao family, had a dominant-submissive relationship.

Before Yu Xianxian could answer, the microphone was taken from her by a tall man who had appeared behind her from nowhere.

"We do," Xiao Qingchuan replied. He had his usual imposing, untouchable air, but his words stunned the room. "I, along with everything I own, belong to my Xianxian."
