Cailing

Qiao Zhaoyue harbored a secret love for him for decades, her true feelings hidden beneath a six-month marriage contract, by day his dutiful secretary, by night his lover.
She thought Fu Yuxiu would never fall for anyone, until she saw him showing concern for another woman with all the warmth of a spring breeze, and only then did she have an epiphany.
It wasn't that he was incapable of affection; rather, he would never harbor such feelings for her.
Qiao Zhaoyue prepared herself for the dissolution of the marriage contract after half a year.
But she never anticipated that someone would cling to her.
"Chairman Fu, we agreed on no pestering or hounding."
Fu Yuxiu laughed shamelessly, "Chasing one's wife, there's nothing wrong with a little pestering or hounding."

The CEO's Sleepless Nights After Annulment

Qiao Zhaoyue rubbed her temples; she had gone to sleep late last night, leading to an aching body and an especially groggy head now.


After a simple wash, Qiao Zhaoyue noticed while getting dressed that a delicate pendant had appeared around her neck. She stared at it momentarily, then touched the pendant hanging at her chest.


She remembered that after accepting the necklace last night, Ji Mingcheng had turned and left without uttering another word.


After pondering for a moment, Qiao Zhaoyue stored the necklace in a drawer, planning to find an opportunity to return it to him.


After descending the stairs, the butler informed her that the Grande Dame of the Fu Family and Fu Mingzhu had arrived and were chatting downstairs.


Qiao Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows slightly; it was somewhat unexpected that the Grande Dame and Fu Mingzhu would pay a visit.


"Zhaoyue, you're awake? Are you hungry?" the Grande Dame asked with concern upon seeing Qiao Zhaoyue come down.
