What I Want

Blurb One:

“Why don't we get married?”

After finally growing sick of the spoiled rich men her family kept setting her up with, the arrogant heiress Ying Yuan couldn't help making a move on the most reliable man by her side.

Zhou Suheng, who was used to handling all sorts of problems for Ying Yuan, looked up at her slightly.

“If we get married, you'll hire another law firm to handle your prenuptial agreement. I'm supposed to be handling the case.”

“After we're married, our conflicting interests mean I could lose you as a major client for good.”

“And if we get divorced, I'll have to deal with your huge legal team. I won't lose, but handling it will take up a lot of my time.”

As Ying Yuan stared at him in astonishment, her mouth slightly open, the man delivered his final words in a cool voice.

“So my answer is, I'm sorry, but I refuse.”

Blurb Two:

At a grand, dazzling wedding, the heiress in her luxurious gown gazed at the person before her. Her bright, dark eyes shone with a bold smile, as though she were admiring her most prized trophy.

Zhou Suheng gently held her fingers and slowly slid on the ring that symbolized their marriage.

She had never failed to get what she wanted.

Much later, Ying Yuan found the photograph he had hidden away.

And in the corner on the back, his words were pressed into the paper: What I want.

What he wanted was love he couldn't bring himself to confess.
