Cheng Ruan was notorious in Jin City for being arrogant and willful.
At eighteen, he stayed out all night and flew a helicopter to his friend’s rooftop just to show off. At twenty, when his father passed away, he stormed into the funeral in pajamas and cursed his father’s mistress.
Upon entering the family conglomerate, he seized his illegitimate brother’s business and mocked him publicly in front of the media:
“A wild boar can’t stomach fine grain.”
He was, without question, outrageously spoiled. And now, the domineering, untouchable young master of the Cheng family was about to be married to the adopted daughter of the Luo family.
But the day before the wedding, the fiancée whom he had never even met ran away.
Everyone waited eagerly to watch Cheng Ruan’s humiliation. After all, the Cheng family’s young master had always gotten his way; being jilted was a first. Surely, this time, he would cry.
Yet on the wedding day, instead of tears, the guests witnessed Cheng Ruan exchanging rings not with the runaway bride, but with the Luo family’s formidable heir himself.
The crowd: “??”
Cheng Ruan: “^^”
The “forced” stand-in groom, Luo Mingzhi: “…”
Only Cheng Ruan knew that his so-called arrogance was nothing more than a fragile armor.
His mother had died, and his father had betrayed him. He was facing the malice and greed of outsiders.
Early on, he learned to wear a mask of contradictions between words and actions.
He knows many people are waiting to see him fall, so he refuses to give them that satisfaction.
But while his bravado is fake, his fear is very real.
After all, the big shot is ruthless and sparing with words. Someone who could crush him effortlessly with just a flick of a finger and considering how provocative he had been before, his treatment after marriage is easy to imagine.
After the old master of the Cheng family passed away, vultures circled, and the family nearly collapsed. Cheng Ruan became everyone’s target. Those who once mocked him now waited for Luo Mingzhi to discard him as useless.
Truthfully, even Cheng Ruan expected to be thrown out.
It wasn’t a lack of confidence; he really was spoiled. Without the old master, he no longer had the capital to act recklessly.
But he waited endlessly, and Luo Mingzhi never said the words.
When Cheng Ruan was ridiculed, Luo Mingzhi stepped in, domineering and protective. At banquets, Luo Mingzhi accompanied him, fingers interlaced.
On his birthday, Luo Mingzhi orchestrated a grand celebration that shook the entire city.
Finally, Cheng Ruan couldn’t hold back. He pushed against Luo Mingzhi’s chest:
“I’m this arrogant and willful, yet you still want me?”
Luo Mingzhi tightened his grip on Cheng Ruan’s waist: “So what? I’m the one who indulges you.”
