The Secret of Second Marriage

A cold wind was howling outside. Mr. Jiang held me in his arms, and the gloom in my heart seemed to freeze in the cold wind. After a moment, I looked up at him and forced a smile: "I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me, Mr. Jiang."

Deep down, I still can't forgive President Jiang.

Because of Lu Xiao's matter, everyone was unhappy.

My mom and Lu Xiao's mom, who have been best friends for so many years, are no longer able to be friends.

When our relatives and friends heard about the broken engagement, they all laughed at us. Now, in their eyes, I've become a difficult woman, and no one is willing to introduce me to any more potential partners.

Having missed out on such a great blind date as Lu Xiao, I don't plan to get married again.

"I know you're still blaming me, Man. I've liked you for so long, I know you better than you know yourself. So I can tell you very clearly that the kind of love you want is complicated."

Lu Xiao is just a very simple man. He can't give you romance, he can't give you beautiful words, and he can't give you love.

He's a workaholic, much like I used to be. Once we get married, he'll throw all his energy into cases. As criminal investigators, they're always out on business trips solving cases.

You'll hardly ever see him again throughout the year. You're really married to him? It's practically the same as being a widow. Are you willing to live that kind of life?

President Jiang smiled and said.

"At least that will keep him from cheating. I'm over 30, and I want a peaceful and ordinary marriage. Is that wrong?"

I was surprised to see him and retorted.

"Man, no, you are not a woman content with mediocrity. When I met you, my heart was filled with desire and struggle. You are like a seductive rose, waiting for a man to admire and pluck you."

And I am your soulmate.

Suddenly, President Jiang hugged me, kissed my cheek, and breathed into my ear, making my ears feel soft and my scalp tingle: "Because I am just like you, a middle-aged person who can't stand being alone."

In the long, dark night, I long for a lover like you.

"President Jiang, doesn't someone like you ever feel lonely?"

I glanced at him and said dismissively, "With your wealth and status, you're not lacking in women at all."

"I don't lack women, I lack soulmates. Man, I've told you before, I'm not interested in other women."

The wealthier and more refined a man is, the more faithful he tends to be, because once you've seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant; once you've seen the clouds of Wushan, other clouds seem pale in comparison.

To be honest, what's the use of those beautiful women the investors always send to me at banquets? I have no feelings for them.

I'm not a cold, emotionless machine, sleeping with any stranger I have no feelings for. They might not feel disgusted, but I would feel nauseous!

Without saying a word, President Jiang took me out shopping.

My mom, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, saw Mr. Jiang trying to seduce me again. She got angry and called my dad, saying, "Honey, that Mr. Jiang is trying to seduce our daughter again! What should we do?"

"fine"

Mr. Xia said, "Man is my daughter. At first, I thought she was very innocent. As her father, I wanted to find her a stable marriage partner, take good care of him, and spend the rest of my life with him."

But her breakup with Lu Xiao made me realize that she didn't like that kind of mundane married life. She was a passionate woman, unwilling to admit defeat and refuse to be manipulated by fate.

I believe she will handle her love life well.

Even marrying President Jiang would be great. At least after marriage, she'd be the president's wife, and after having children, she'd be rolling in money, making her richer and more famous than us old folks.

Having such an outstanding daughter makes my life worthwhile.

"I can't believe it," Mr. Xia sighed.

President Jiang took me out shopping to relax.

He discovered that the watch and bag I bought were both high-quality replicas.

Although I am a celebrity, my annual salary is only a few million. I need to save my money to buy a house and raise my daughter. When I go out to film or participate in entertainment activities, I usually bring these high-quality replicas.

Mr. Jiang didn't say anything, but just instructed his assistant to do a few things. After we finished shopping, bought clothes and shoes, and went to a restaurant for Western food, I put on my watch and Hermes bag again and went home.

In the evening, President Jiang attended a very important business reception and invited me to attend.

I was wearing a watch and a Hermès bag, a moon-white long dress with a backless design, sexy yet dignified, and my long black hair was styled with a hairpin, with a osmanthus hairpin inserted at an angle.

I look fresh and refined, as beautiful as a blooming osmanthus in my early twenties, lovely and radiant.

As soon as President Jiang saw me, he took me to this high-end business banquet with an invitation. He pulled me along to meet several business presidents from Beijing, including Baidu, Meituan, and JD.com. It was the first time I had ever met these business tycoons that I saw in the news every day.

Everyone was friendly and polite until I ran into my nemesis, Dong Yili. She saw me and mocked me, saying, "Jiang Man, are your bags and watches fakes? They're as cheap as your worth. You don't deserve to attend such a high-end event."
