The CEO’s Dancing Wife – Part Two

“Fang’er was born into a complicated family situation; she was the daughter of a concubine, with legitimate siblings above and a favored younger brother below her. From a young age, she was the one ignored and bullied, which shaped her fierce and cold demeanor. It was her armor, her survival necessity. But she had a soft heart, genuinely kind, and the purest soul. She would give her heart to those who were genuinely good to her, but was cold as ice to those with ulterior motives. We hit it off because we were similar; soon, we became an unbreakable trio. Those were the happiest days of my life. We’d roam together during the day, and at night, Fang’er would watch us perform at the bar. She learned to play the saxophone from me and dance from Yingdi, showing great talent in both. We often jokingly said we should form a band, ‘The Three Musketeers of the Dusty World,’ to travel the world, playing and visiting famous mountains and rivers. Every time we talked about it, Fang’er’s eyes would light up, excited like a child, as if we could set off the very next day. But in reality, she couldn’t go anywhere. As a daughter of the Dong family, her fate was sealed from birth, destined to be a pawn in a business marriage. With Fang’er’s fiery, unyielding spirit, she would never submit to such arrangements. And at that time, we had fallen in love. It was as if a giant axe had split open my previously dormant understanding of love, revealing to me how beautiful and wondrous such a feeling could be, making the previous twenty years of my life feel wasted.”
