  Xu Jiaojiao, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, had been sent to the countryside years ago to recover from an illness. Now, she returned to fulfill a long-standing family contract. However, on the eve of her wedding, the groom unexpectedly left to chase after his first love overseas. 
  The room buzzed with whispers as everyone gathered, ready to witness the unfolding drama. 
  “Oh dear,” Xu Jiaojiao muttered under her breath. Then, without hesitation, she lifted the hem of her pristine white wedding dress, strode forward, and tugged on the sleeve of a man standing nearby. “Mr. Qi, will you marry me?” she asked softly, her voice calm and steady. 
  The crowd was stunned into silence. Had she lost her mind? 
  Qi Shenbai, the man in question, was a mysterious and immensely successful businessman with over a decade of dominance in his industry. His enigmatic demeanor and apparent disinterest in women made him the subject of constant speculation. Though countless beautiful women vied for his attention, none had ever succeeded in capturing his heart. 
  Everyone held their breath, waiting for Qi Shenbai to dismiss her outright and for Xu Jiaojiao to become a laughingstock. Yet, to their astonishment, Qi Shenbai agreed! 
  The room erupted into disbelief. Did he really say yes? There had to be some hidden agenda behind this shocking turn of events! They waited eagerly for the inevitable fallout—for the moment when this hastily arranged marriage would crumble into a public spectacle. 
  But to their dismay, no such moment came. Instead, the headlines were filled with stories of Qi Shenbai showering his wife with affection and spoiling her beyond belief. 
  The doubters were left speechless. 
  Since when was marrying a successful businessman as simple as asking, “Will you marry me?”
