He lost control after drinking and ended up marrying a powerful female CEO.

Qin Huai was unaware of Lu Qingxue's current predicament.

The Lu Group is unable to gain the support of its members, faces threats from business rivals, and is also being eyed by numerous long-standing partners.

It was only during this time that Lu Qingxue truly realized how difficult it was to lead a large corporation.

She once thought she could handle everything, but later realized she was too naive.

Having to depend on a man was a huge blow to her pride.

But reality is what it is, leaving her no choice but to compromise.

The only saving grace was that, despite being a despicable, shameless, vile, and scoundrel, this man was still relatively polite to her.

Aunt Lan was also very gentle, giving Lu Qingxue a motherly feeling.

When the two returned to the villa, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Qin Huai saw Lao Lin.

This indicates that Su Huaijun has returned from Rongcheng.

As soon as I entered, I saw Lan Yuanxin and Su Huaijun sitting side by side on the sofa, chatting hand in hand.

It was unclear what they were saying, but Su Huaijun's silvery laughter never stopped.

"You are back."

When Su Huaijun saw Qin Huai and Lu Qingxue return, he waved to greet them.

"Ah."

Lu Qingxue looked at her best friend, feeling a little awkward.

She knew that Su Huaijun liked Qin Huai, but she herself got a marriage certificate with Qin Huai.

For some reason, I have a feeling of betraying my best friend.

Aunt Lan asked, "Has it been done?"

"It's done."

Qin Huai grinned.

Lu Qingxue, standing beside her, blushed and took out her marriage certificate from her bag.

Upon seeing this, Su Huaijun's smile froze, and her body stiffened.

Aunt Lan took it and looked at it, then smiled with satisfaction: "It's a relief, and my long journey to Chongcheng was worthwhile."

"Qingxue, Qin Huai is a stubborn brat. I've spoiled him since he was little. You have to be more tolerant of him. If he dares to bully you, just tell Aunt Lan and she'll teach him a lesson for you."

"Thank you, Aunt Lan."

Lu Qingxue smiled sweetly, turned her head to look at Qin Huai, and said affectionately, "Qin Huai won't bully me, he will treat me very well, right?"

Even though he knew Lu Qingxue was faking it, Qin Huai was still momentarily lost in thought.

It has to be admitted that Lu Qingxue is really beautiful.

"Why aren't you saying anything? You've already stopped caring about me since we got our marriage certificate?"

Seeing that Qin Huai did not answer, Lu Qingxue pressed him for an answer, and secretly reached behind him and pinched the soft flesh of Qin Huai's waist.

"How could that be! I will definitely cherish you, love you, and protect you. I will never let you suffer any harm or injustice."

Qin Huai's eyes were filled with affection as he looked at the dog, and he deliberately lowered his voice, which was full of magnetism.

Hearing this, Lu Qingxue couldn't help but get goosebumps.

For a fleeting moment, I felt a sense of disorientation, thinking to myself, "What if all of this is real..."

Aunt Lan smiled and said, "Seeing how loving you two are, I'm relieved. Xiao Huai, it's been so long since I've had your cooking. I've already had someone buy the ingredients. You cook tonight, and we'll have a couple of drinks to celebrate."

"Alright, let me show you my skills. I'll make sure you eat so much you'll want to swallow your tongues."

Qin Huai smiled and went to the kitchen.

Everything seemed so harmonious.

Su Huaijun watched quietly from the side, feeling as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

My heart ached.

"Jun Jun, didn't you have something to tell me?" Lu Qingxue called out.

"what?"

Su Huaijun didn't react.

"Aunt Lan, please have a seat for a while."

Lu Qingxue pulled Su Huaijun upstairs, and after entering the room, she closed the door.

Su Huaijun forced a smile and said, "Congratulations, Qingxue."

"Congratulations my ass."

Lu Qingxue frowned, took Su Huaijun's hand and said, "My marriage with Qin Huai is fake."

"Huh? Fake...why?" Su Huaijun was even more confused.

"You still don't know Qin Huai's identity, do you?"

"Identity? What identity?"

"His true identity is the eldest son of the Qin family, the ninth most powerful family in the capital."

Su Huaijun's eyes widened in surprise.

……

The culinary skills of Qinhuai are no joke.

With simple ingredients, I made nine different dishes.

Four meat dishes, four vegetable dishes, and a soup make for a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

The atmosphere during the meal was a bit awkward, but still relatively harmonious.

Aunt Lan rarely spoke, always smiling, yet she took in the expressions of Lu Qingxue and Su Huaijun.

The meal lasted from dusk until nightfall.

Su Huaijun drank most of a bottle of top-grade dry red wine by himself, his cheeks turning as red as apples, and his eyes becoming hazy.

Qin Huai cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen, Lu Qingxue took Su Huaijun back to her room to sleep, and then went downstairs to watch TV with Aunt Lan.

Not long after, Qin Huai cleaned up the kitchen, walked into the living room, and sat down next to Lu Qingxue.

On a giant screen over 60 inches in size, a scene of life and death is unfolding.

The male protagonist is terminally ill and cannot bear to tell the female protagonist the truth, so he pretends to fall in love with someone else.

But the female lead is very clever and discovers the male lead's hidden illness.

One tearfully told the other to get lost, while the other refused to let go no matter what.

Torn and agonizing, an endless cycle of torment and suffering.

This is an old trope in soap operas, using various tricks to trick naive young girls into shedding tears.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Lan was also moved to tears, and Lu Qingxue next to her kept handing Aunt Lan tissues.

Qin Huai couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Aunt Lan is over forty years old, but she still has the mentality of a young girl. No wonder her father was able to easily trick her into coming home back then.

The three-episode run ended with the final scene showing the female lead about to be involved in a car accident.

Aunt Lan's heart clenched, and she said, "It's so touching. I hope the screenwriter will be kind to this girl and not let her suffer anymore."

Lu Qingxue nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I almost cried while watching it."

Qin Huai said weakly, "I'm about to cry too..."

"It's already past eight o'clock, why aren't you all going to sleep yet?"

Aunt Lan then remembered something and glared at Qin Huai: "You're newlyweds, tonight is for the two of you, go and rest."

That's so blunt, it's practically telling you to hurry up and go to your wedding night.

Qin Huai immediately took Lu Qingxue's hand and said with a smile, "Aunt Lan is right, wife, let's go and rest."

Lu Qingxue was almost startled into screaming when Qin Huai called her "wife".

She felt a chill run down her spine after forcing herself to endure it, but in front of Aunt Lan, she could only feign shyness and follow Qin Huai upstairs.

As soon as she entered the room, Lu Qingxue shook off Qin Huai's hand, took a few steps back, and said warily, "I'm warning you..."

"I don't need your warning."

Qin Huai interrupted, pursing his lips, "I have no feelings for you right now. Aunt Lan is here, do you think it's okay if we don't sleep in the same room tonight?"

Lu Qingxue herself was well aware of this, but she still had a strong sense of resistance in her heart.

"If you dare to take advantage of this, I will definitely kill you!" Lu Qingxue said defiantly.

Qin Huai couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Qingxue was even angrier when she saw Qin Huai's irritating look.

"When you say you're going to kill me, your expression should be fiercer, show some intensity, don't look away, look me in the eye, yes, that's it, the emotion isn't strong enough, be fiercer, even fiercer, yes, very good, keep it! Remember this feeling..."

"I'll... you'll die a horrible death!"

Lu Qingxue was so angry that her liver hurt, and she immediately turned her head away and ignored Qin Huai.

She finally understood that getting angry with such a jerk would only hurt her.
