Their marriage was nothing more than one person having a need and the other being a substitute.
He was once her brother-in-law, a ruthless man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. She was merely the younger daughter her family never cared for, someone they could sacrifice whenever the need arose.
Yi Xue thought, It’s just a deal anyway. I’ll put up with you.
But later, their marriage of convenience took on a life of its own.
“Darling, I’ve taken care of that woman who showed off her wealth in front of you. Here’s all the jewelry she collected. Please accept it.” The man smiled sweetly as he put the city’s biggest jewelry store in Yi Xue’s name.
“Darling, all the black roses in the world are right here. They belong only to you, my one and only.” His gaze was bewitching, his allure boundless.
“Darling, look at that naughty little brat. Our child is so much cuter.” The man looked down on the children while volunteering at the kindergarten.
“Huh? When did we have a child?” Yi Xue was baffled.
The man smiled wickedly. “Tonight.”
When did their marriage start to change? This won’t do. She has to run.
