Description

It was hoped that with Xiao-xiao's marriage to the youngest son of China's largest business conglomerate, strained business relations would be pacified and the Chairman's decision to terminate the contract would be revoked. If they became in-laws, it wouldn't be an issue anymore. Everything would go back to normal. He knew that Xiao-xiao and Young Master Jun-hui were not in love with the other. He also knew Young Master Jun-hui had a lover on the outside.

His poor daughter, Xiao-xiao.

He had cried for days and nights until his eyes were red and raw, and no tears could be shed, but he could not bring himself to stop the marriage. If he did, the contract would be inevitably terminated and he would be left with nothing. All the blood, sweat and tears he had lost to adversities and to failures would have been for nothing.

Father is sorry, Xiao-xiao. Father will repay you. Whether that be in my next life, or in hell.


Is a husband's love everything? Or will Cheng Xiao-xiao find love elsewhere in this loveless marriage?

Foreword

Title: The betrothal gift.

A/N: This story was originally written two years ago under the username pansori but because I forgot my password and recovery email, I couldn't log back in to continue it lmfao. It was originally written using chinese model liu wen as the face, exo's kris and tao, but I've decided to change the characters to some of my favourites, particularly the chinese members, from wjsn and seventeen. I've literally copy-pasted the description and first chapter of the original story here - if you like the story, please subscribe + happy new year!

Chapter 5: Wow. I'm actually starting to get invested in the side characters too thanks to your amazing writing. I like that you didn't portray XuanYi as a villain. I've watched too many dramas where the second female lead is unrealistically evil. I'm not sure how I feel about the whole situation. On one hand, Jun should've broken off his relationship with Xuanyi once he got married. Even though he got married against his will, he should've matured up and tried to make it work with Cheng Xiao. But on the other hand, it's really unfair towards Jun and XuanYi especially since they were in love first. So... I don't know. My head is all messed up...in a good way. Thank you so much for the update. The poster is also gorgeous by the way.

Chapter 5: I'm starting to like XuanYi here. I can totally understand how she feels, the fear of having Jun taken away from her because of the uncertain future of their relationship. I guess she truly loves him, so I approve of her with Jun^^. But I wonder about Jun. Would his heart change? I hope she won't be hurt too much if he would fall for Xiao as the story progresses. Haha and I absolutely love ChengXiao and Minghao's endless bickerings xD. Can we just have the two pairs together so that no one will get hurt in the end? But then, there's MeiQi who I believe will come to like Minghao soon. Omg love shapes always makes every love story interesting^^. Thank you so much for the update, been waiting for it. Looking do to more. Good luck!

Chapter 5: I loved their bickering. I always hate men who cheats. Can I ask to make sure Xiao's role is justified? As in she won't run to her husband who will say sorry and everything will be alright. I find that in each and every fics. The 3rd person, the actual right and noce guy does not get to be with his love. (I always suffer from 2nd lead syndrome). I really hope u dont mind. Just my personal point of 4view.
A great chapter. Happy New Lunar Year!
Update soon ♡♡♡
