My Billionaire Wife

This was a marriage bought with money.

Lao Haoxuan paid a ten-million-yuan bride price in one go and brought Han Chenxi home as his wife. He held a lavish banquet for three days and three nights at the most luxurious hotel in City A. Everyone in town knew that CEO Lao had spent a hundred million just to marry someone.

After seven years of twists and turns, she finally returned to his side. Han Chenxi had always wondered how Lao Haoxuan would take revenge on her, never imagining that their married life would turn out like this…

[Excerpt One:]

[The plane leaves at 10 a.m. on the third. If you come, I'll stay. Han Chenxi, I'm giving you one last chance. If you come, I can forgive you for everything.

-------Lao Haoxuan]

Han Chenxi clenched the note in her hand and stood frozen, those words circling endlessly in her mind. She touched her chest, not knowing when the pain had begun. She had always tried to numb herself with studying, thinking it would stop the hurt. It hadn't. Every time she woke in the early hours with tears streaming down her face, all she could think of was Lao Haoxuan's domineering manner. If love was this painful, she never would have agreed to be his girlfriend, even if someone had beaten her to death…

“Xiaoxi, you seem distracted today.”

“Not at all.”

“Come grocery shopping with me today.”

“Mom, what day is it?”

“Sunday, silly. You've been studying so much you've lost track of the days.”

“Mom, what time is it?”

“Almost nine. Why?”

Nine? It takes an hour to get to the airport by taxi.

“Mom, I have to go out.”

“Where are you going?” Liu Yunyin called after her, but Han Chenxi was already gone.

“Honestly, that child. It's raining and she didn't even take an umbrella.”

Liu Yunyin grabbed an umbrella and hurried after her. Outside, a fine rain was falling. She saw Han Chenxi get into a taxi, and ran after the car, shouting…

Han Chenxi hailed a taxi and checked her watch. There was half an hour left. She should make it. She just wanted to see him one last time.

She hurried anxiously to the airport. As soon as she got out, her phone rang incessantly.

“Hello, is this Han Chenxi?”

“Yes, speaking. Who is this?”

“This is the hospital. Your mother was in a car accident. Please come to the hospital immediately.”

“What? I'll be right there!”

“Sir, it's time.”

Lao Haoxuan sat irritably in an airport chair, glancing toward the entrance every so often, his face dark with gloom. He had only told Han Chenxi that he was leaving, so no one had come to see him off. And she was the only person he wanted to see. Sadly, she wouldn't even give him this last chance.

Han Chenxi, is your heart really that cruel? I was wrong about you!

Lao Haoxuan stood up from the chair, suddenly seeming like a different person. A chill radiated from him.

Some people are destined for regret, while others are destined to miss their chance…

[Excerpt Two]

Hualong International Mall

“Kid, do you know who she is?”

“That young lady is…” The man didn't even dare breathe. A man in black held him in place, and he couldn't move.

“She is my wife.”

“What? She's actually Mrs. Lao, wife of the CEO?” In the distance, a young woman dressed plainly was carefully choosing some things. You'd never guess she was the wife of a billionaire.

“Do you know what to do?”

“Yes, yes. I understand. Everything... everything will be free…”

“Who told you to make it free? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”

“Then what do you mean…”

“Call Wang Bin right now and tell him to launch a promotion. Make the discount big, say ten percent off or something.”

“T...ten percent off?” The employee broke out in a cold sweat. The mall was full of international brands, and discounts rarely went below ten percent. Wasn't a ten-percent price basically the same as giving everything away? Calling the boss would get him fired for sure.

“Any objections?”

“N...no. I'll call right away…”

“Wait. While you're at it, hold a raffle too. Ideally, someone can win a shopping card in the grand prize drawing. It doesn't need much money on it, just one million.”

“One million…” His face turned ashen…

Under duress, he nervously made the call. When the boss found out it was CEO Lao, he happily agreed and even threw in an extra gold membership card…

Only after getting the promise did Lao Haoxuan head home, satisfied.

Han Chenxi returned loaded with purchases today, and her barely concealed delight made her look much brighter and more radiant.

“Sweetheart, what are you so happy about?”

“Haha, I went to Hualong Mall today
