Cherished Beyond Measure: The Beloved Wife

One car crash, two tangled love stories.

[The Scheming Fool: An Xiaolan's Story] When they first met, all she could think was how handsome he was, even after being hit by a car. The next day, he suddenly appeared as the company's new general manager, and somehow she became both his assistant and his nanny. He barged into her life with domineering force, and with her intelligence, she had no way to fight back. But his hot-and-cold attitude and inscrutable intentions finally got even the dim-witted An Xiaolan riled up. In the end, the second-in-command who ruled the business world was won over by a fool from some unknown planet. Lu Chen thought this was his destiny, and he was already in too deep...

[Excerpt One] The senior student An Xiaolan had a crush on showed her some interest. A certain man glanced at his injured hand, adjusted his glasses, and said with a mysterious glint in his eyes, “Go ahead. Don't worry about me.”

That injured hand kept waving right in front of her. An Xiaolan looked at the perfectly healthy senior, then at him, and made up her mind at once. She scampered over to the senior. The man curled his lips into a smile, then happily led his little fool off to dinner.

A man must know how to be ruthless and take on the world. But he must also know how to act cute and play up his vulnerability...

[Excerpt Two] One day, the media dug up photos of a certain man with a popular celebrity. The star was stunningly beautiful and had a seductive figure. An Xiaolan sank into feelings of inferiority and despair. Lu Chen kissed her eyes, his voice filled with tenderness. “As long as I have you by my side, that's enough.”

Before we meet our true love, we don't believe we ever will. So, darling, please forgive my foolish ignorance. I didn't save myself for you during the best years of my life. If I had known you would come to me, I would have waited quietly, untouched by any other woman.

[A Tender, Heartwarming Story: He Nai's Story] Before she met him, He Nai thought she would never love anyone else. He fulfilled every fantasy in her heart. When they first met, her taxi crashed into his luxury car. With haughty indifference, she tossed him a card and her phone number, then walked away. The president of the empire had actually been pelted with money! When they met again, she was sometimes icy and aloof, sometimes enchanting and seductive. Only after many twists and turns did she realize it had all been love tempting her with an olive branch.

[Excerpt One] She dragged her brand-new boyfriend over to him. “Look, I already like someone else. You can't force me.”

His expression slowly turned cold. “You think I said I love you just to force you?”

He approached her step by step and pulled her into his arms. “Never joke about yourself with another man.” My heart is so sincere, so how could you bear to hurt me?

Her eyes grew misty, and she tried to escape in confusion.

He kissed her eyes with domineering tenderness. “What else do you want? Whatever you want, I can give you.”

[Excerpt Two] There were two grand weddings, but neither time was he marrying her. She left behind her family and her arranged marriage to run away.

Xu Mohe, I'm not you. I can't be as heartless as you. I can't lie to my own heart and say I don't love you.

How wonderful do I have to become before you'll love me? Love takes a thousand different forms. We find the best love in our youth, and the love that suits us best after we've matured. You're not me, so how can you know if he's the one for me?

This story has flesh and blood, tears and laughter. A little angst makes love sweeter, but doting is what matters most. It's a devoted, one-on-one romance, served up with plenty of sweetness!
