Marriage Chronicles

【Capital Tycoon x Gentle Girl | Wolf & Bunny Couple】 Yu Xi never wanted to marry Shen Shu. But under her family’s arrangement, she was practically forced into it, meeting him only twice before they got their marriage license. They were from completely different worlds. In her brief 22 years of life, everything had been ordinary and predictable—studying, working, and even relying on connections to join her company’s translation department due to her inability to speak. She was as plain as it gets. Shen Shu, on the other hand, was her polar opposite. Confident, powerful, and already the CEO of a multinational corporation in his thirties, he dominated the business world with sharp decisiveness and unmatched efficiency. She would never forget the first time she met him—his commanding Beijing accent and sharp-tongued criticisms had mercilessly reduced a group of senior executives to silence. His cold and imposing demeanor left a psychological scar on her. Ever since then, she kept a respectful distance from this formidable man. Yet, to her surprise, one day they found themselves sitting across from each other at a blind date arranged by their families. “I can’t talk and only manage to scr*pe by with translation work. Don’t let yourself be fooled,” she wrote on a note, hoping to discourage him. But Shen Shu only smiled and asked, “Do you not plan to marry at all?” Yu Xi froze, caught off guard by his question, which hit a soft spot. The truth was, she couldn’t oppose her parents and hadn’t planned on staying single her whole life. Shen Shu continued, “I need to settle down, and you will eventually have to get married. If that’s the case, I think I’m a decent choice.” – After Marriage Shen Shu was very busy, and the two rarely saw each other, living more like strangers under the same roof. In public, he remained the sharp, poised financial tycoon, while she carried on with her mundane life, taking crowded subways daily. Yu Xi thought their post-marriage life would continue like this—plain and uneventful. However, one day, a male colleague gave her a ride home. She smiled brightly in gratitude, only to turn and find Shen Shu standing coldly by the door. He said nothing, simply turning and walking away. That night, feeling she had done something wrong, Yu Xi hugged her teddy bear and quietly knocked on his door. The moment she entered, she was pulled into his arms. Looking down at her, Shen Shu said, “Mrs. Shen, has no one ever told you that being married means keeping a proper distance from the opposite sex?” Yu Xi: “…” Weren’t they supposed to be in a fake marriage? – Yu Xi had always thought Shen Shu married her just to appease his family. He was simply too exceptional—sharp and commanding. Someone like her, gentle and slow-moving, was his polar opposite. Even in her wildest dreams, she couldn’t believe he’d ever like her. But then, she noticed his study light burning through the night, just so he could rewrite her resume to perfection. He even crossed three districts in Beijing during a freezing snowstorm just to bring her a warm late-night snack. It was only then that she realized what she meant to him. – From Shen Shu’s Perspective Shen Shu initially married Yu Xi because it was time to settle down, and she met his requirements for a suitable wife. What he didn’t expect was that he’d fall for her first.
