After Securing the Family Fortune, I Dumped the Powerful Man I Was Set to Marry

[You are the glorious years of my youth, and I would use every ounce of cunning I have to protect you.]

Ye Qing and Huo Zhengrong had practically grown up together.

Yet the 22 years of brotherly friendship between them were destroyed by the marriage alliance between their families.

Before the wedding, Huo Zhengrong told Ye Qing, “I can help your family get through this crisis. We don’t have to get married.”

Ye Qing refused.

Huo Zhengrong said that, in that case, their years of brotherhood were over.

Ye Qing curled her bright red lips and said, “Fine, then. I never wanted to be your brother anyway.”

What she wanted was his body.

Everyone thought Ye Qing was after the Huo family’s money.

Even Huo Zhengrong himself thought she was marrying him for his fortune.

Later, once the Ye family had weathered the crisis and secured its assets, Ye Qing decided she was bored with this arrangement. She dusted herself off and left.

Just like that, Huo Zhengrong lost both his brother and his wife.

Only afterward did he realize he might have gotten the short end of the stick.
