The Billionaire Family’s Sweetheart: A Pampered Wife

The Gu family was one of the great clans of the capital, prosperous for a hundred years. When their favor finally ran out, they could only secure the family’s survival by sacrificing one of their own. Gu Huan was the lucky one chosen. As she struggled in the mud, watching the so-called nobility smile as they looked her over, she knew that from beginning to end, she had been nothing but a joke. But how could she accept it? How could she watch the people who had trampled her into the dirt bask in the adoration of the world, wearing masks of benevolence? Years later, she returned with revenge as her sole purpose. As everyone jeered at her, a cold smile played across her serene face. “I, Gu Huan, live only to send you all to hell. Go ahead and laugh, go ahead and celebrate. Let’s see who’s still laughing a few dynasties from now!” She thought she would have no ties or regrets for the rest of her life. Then a man came along: noble and domineering, untouchable in the eyes of the world; shamelessly affectionate and obedient in her eyes. What was she supposed to do with a man like him? Excerpt One On her first day back in the country, Gu Huan got out of bed and saw an unfamiliar man beside her, smiling at her with tender affection. She brushed back her hair and calmly said, “Good morning, darling!” “Last night was nice.” The smile on the man’s face deepened. He licked his sensual lips and spoke in a magnetic voice so tender it could drown her. “It really was. I enjoyed myself. Let’s do it again sometime.” Gu Huan walked away without missing a step, never seeing the meaningful smile or nostalgic look in the man’s eyes behind her. They should have parted forever, never to meet again, but now that fate had brought them together, how could Ye Qing let her go a second time? “Huahua, it really has been a long time!” Whose soft murmur faded into the wind, impossible to make out? Excerpt Two Years later, Gu Huan leaned against the man’s chest, eyes narrowed, and smiled softly. “You’re so shameless. I’m afraid if I leave you, you won’t have the face to go on living.” Those who had once bullied, betrayed, and mocked her were already living lives worse than death in the paradise she had built with her own hands, with only despair for company. Years had passed, and everything had changed. Only this man by her side had remained steadfast. Since that was so, Gu Huan lowered her head and smiled, her eyes curving. What else could she do? She might as well give in to this shameless man. “Yes, my wife, you’re right about everything. Without you, I couldn’t go on living.” Ye Qing smiled contentedly as he held her in his arms. What wouldn’t he give up for the chance to hold her close?
