A Heartbeat Wrapped in Tenderness

Gu Sheng caught her scumbag boyfriend cheating on her, and he even told her to be more understanding. Furious, Gu Sheng broke up with him. Then she accidentally kissed someone way out of her league. Everyone thought Gu Sheng had offended the wrong person and would never survive in Beijing's elite circles. And sure enough... within a month, she had vanished from those circles. Everyone kept quiet about it, while her haters clapped and cheered. Six years later, Gu Sheng returned after vanishing without a trace, with three miniature versions of a powerful tycoon in tow. The next day, the news that Gu Sheng and the tycoon had been married for six years dominated the trending charts. Everyone was stunned. * Six years ago, Xi Yan tossed her a marriage contract: one hundred million a year, an additional two million in spending money each month, film and television opportunities, and his protection in the entertainment industry. The catch was that Xi Yan would decide when the contract ended, and she couldn't ask about or interfere in any of his affairs. Gu Sheng: What a deal! She signed the outrageously expensive contract on the spot. But a month later, she found out she was pregnant and fled overseas in the middle of the night. Six years later, she returned with her children, and Xi Yan was waiting for her as soon as she got off the plane. He narrowed his eyes, his expression dangerous. “Wife, whatever happened to honoring a contract?” Gu Sheng looked guilty. “...” Xi Yan pointed at the twins with a cold laugh. “Care to explain them?” Gu Sheng: “They're my babies! Uh, they're yours too!”
