Ling Xi, an orphan left behind in her previous life, was picked up and trained to become a top-tier special agent, braving through storms of bullets, living solely for the organization; until she was ultimately betrayed and killed by a so-called good sister.
Reborn into another life under the care of fate, doted on by grandparents, cherished by parents, protected by her older brother, she wanted nothing more than to live a peaceful life for herself and her beloved family, to be the apple of their eye, but things didn't go as she wished.
She was reborn into a powerful and prestigious family, where many things were outside her control; for the sake of her beloved family, to protect her brother's desire for freedom, she chose to ignore the reluctance and pity in their eyes and resolutely embarked on a perilous journey.
From then on, a domineering star began to rise!
…
At home, she was the treasured daughter of heaven, held in the palms of her relatives; yet in a certain company, she was the pride of all her colleagues.
It was said that recently, some newbie was too arrogant, causing the old employees to be unable to stand it and come forward to provoke; no worries, though, toys! It was just right for a bit of practice, nothing but fun!
After getting trounced, they wanted to try other tactics; okay, then make your choice! Steamed, boiled, fried, grilled, whatever you like, rest assured, I'll definitely leave you with enough breath to pant!
Everyone: Don't worry, we're actually all nice people!
In the newbie group, there was such a legend!
Legend has it there was a cold-faced female manager, nimble and fearless, who dared to beat up even the president;
To hell with legends, all that stuff is a load of crap, puffed-up tales! Hand over the evidence if you have any.
Ling Xi glared furiously at the magnified handsome face in front of her, smiling as cunningly as a sly old fox, grinding her teeth.
Legend... Legend... Who the hell started spreading that nonsense...
A certain man, watching the woman he had cornered grinding her teeth, laughed merrily.
This time, let's see who dares to covet the woman he had set his sights on!
The male lead is initially aloof, later scheming, simply put, a repressed charmer! The female lead is initially aloof, later still aloof, and still "aloof"!

The Cold Wife's Domineering Marriage

The precious princess they treasured in the palm of their hands was now lying there, barely hanging onto life, devoid of any vitality; if they hadn't promptly opened the door to her room, their treasure might have truly vanished forever!


If it weren't for fear that Xixi would feel distressed and heartbroken upon awakening, he would have already gone to settle the score with Qi Yuanfeng! Even if he didn't beat him until he cried for his parents, he would make sure Yuanfeng took his surname!


"I don't have such a good brother!" Leng Yichen hissed in a low voice.


Previously, because Xixi liked him and wanted to earn his affection through her own efforts, Leng Yichen could turn a blind eye to Yuanfeng's indifferent attitude towards her, which didn't affect the brotherly bond they had cultivated since childhood.


But this time, what he did was too much, not only intentionally bringing one woman after another to provoke Xixi but also allowing his woman to mock and insult Xixi without intervening. What kind of trash was that woman, anyway? Merely by virtue of her existence, she wasn't even worthy to be compared to a single hair on their Xixi, let alone have the audacity to speak, even insultingly, to their treasure.


From now on, he no longer had such a brother! If it hadn't been for his absence that day, he never would have allowed Xixi to suffer such humiliation.


"I'm stepping out for a bit; let me know when Xixi wakes up." Not waiting for Leng Yilei to respond, Leng Yichen casually tossed his jacket over his shoulder, and his figure quickly disappeared down the corridor.


Looking down the hallway where his brother had vanished, Leng Yilei stood up and walked towards Ling Xi's hospital room.


Considering Leng Yichen's temperament, the fact that he could endure this long before seeking that person was already quite an accomplishment! Although he couldn't go and beat someone up himself, helping Leng Yichen keep it concealed wasn't a problem at all, huh! Hehe!


Everyone gathered around the bed, staring intensely at Ling Xi's pale, bloodless face, unable to help the sourness welling up in their eyes.


They couldn't believe their treasure would resort to such extremes, even attempting to slit her wrists! Did she know how heartbroken they would be to see her so careless with her own life?


It was only by a hair's breadth, just a little bit, and they would have lost her!


Clinging tightly to Ling Xi's hand, Qin Shiya dared not blink for fear that her treasure would vanish from before her eyes.


Her fingers twitched slightly, and Ling Xi's eyes "swooshed" open, a piercing glint flashing across them; but the next second, the acrid smell of disinfectant invading her nostrils made her brow furrow slightly.


Gradually, the blurry focus before her eyes cleared, and Ling Xi stared blankly at the crowd that rushed to her bedside, bewildered.


She… she really came back to life? She survived in place of Xixi!


The next second, Ling Xi was enveloped in an immensely warm embrace.


"Xixi, my Xixi, you've finally woken up, you scared Mom to death!" Clutching Ling Xi, Qin Shiran's tears suddenly fell.


She really...really thought she was about to lose her treasure!


Thank goodness! It truly was divine intervention! Her most precious treasure was still here! Still here!


Submissively nestling in her mother's warm embrace, Ling Xi's eyes began to blur with tears, her phoenix eyes gradually misting with traces of moisture.


Leaning into Qin Shiran's embrace, Ling Xi called out softly, her voice choked with emotion.


So this is what a mother's embrace feels like? It truly…so warm!
