The Sweet Life: Secretly Married to a Movie Star

She had fallen in love with him from the first time they met. She was deeply charmed by his handsome appearance. Given that he dressed in expensive clothes and drove a luxurious car, he was the man of her dreams.

She grew up in B-City, a rural place. She fell in love with Beijing’s hustle and bustle when she came to the capital. She could not live a stable life in such a metropolis by relying only on herself. It would be ideal if she could be with Lin Chengze. She could not help but look at him in a seductive manner when they first met, hungry for his response.

As expected, Lin Chengze came looking for her at the hotel soon enough. They went out, dined, and shopped. It did not take long for them to start rolling in the sheets. Indeed, he satisfied her needs.

Lin Chengze held Tan Xiaoling’s naughty hand. “You little devil.”

“Chengze, I’ve been here in Beijing for a few days. It’s time to return to B-City.”

“Don’t go back yet. I’ll make arrangements for a car and accommodation. Please stay.”

“Really? Will you do that for me?”

“Of course.”

“Thank you, Chengze. I love you so much!”

In no time, Tan Xiaoling moved into the apartment Lin Chengze arranged for her. She then drove the car he bought her to the Xia residence to pry.

Xia Yishan got the butler to pour her a pot of flower tea. Purposefully, she asked, “Xiaoling, are you here to say goodbye?”

Tan Xiaoling’s face froze. “I…”

“You said you were staying in Beijing to keep my company, but you didn’t visit me at all. And you’re leaving now? I can send someone to tour around the capital with you before you go.”

“I was looking for a place to stay the past two days and neglected you. Are you mad at me?”

“What?”

“I love Beijing too much, so I’ve decided to stay to be with you! I won’t be returning to B-City.”

“That’s up to you.”

…

The two girls chatted about many things. After much talk, Tan Xiaoling finally asked about what she wanted to know the most, “Yishan, who was that handsome guy who picked you up the other day?”

“Which one?”

“The man who picked you up when Shen Jiashu left. The one who looked very handsome.”

“Handsome? I don’t think he’s anything close to handsome…”

“I think he’s quite handsome. So who exactly is he?” Tan Xiaoling only knew Lin Chengze was a young master from a wealthy family. She had no idea how wealthy he was exactly. To show she was uninterested in material pursuits, she did not ask him about his money.

“Oh, he’s the Lin Group’s young master. I heard he’ll be inheriting the group soon. He’s pretty wealthy…” Naturally, Xia Yishan would not tell her that the group’s stock market volatility was high. The entire group was at risk.

“Oh, really…” Tan Xiaoling looked away. She did not expect Lin Chengze to be more influential than she imagined.

“Yeah. I heard from my father that the Lin family was setting him up with a girl. Whoever married into the family would be considered quite lucky. She’d have more money than she could ever count.”

“Oh… really…” Tan Xiaoling felt uneasy recalling Lin Chengze picking Xia Yishan up the other day. She was the Xia family’s young mistress now, no more the hillbilly from the orphanage. ‘Is she in a relationship with Lin Chengze?’

“Why do you care so much about him? Do you like him?”

“No. I’ve just come here, I don’t know anyone or anything here. Why would I like him? It’s getting late, so I’m off. I’ll visit you again.”

Tan Xiaoling could no longer sit still. She left the Xia residence immediately.

Xia Yishan was secretly grinning as she watched her leave.

‘Lin Chengze and Tan Xiaoling, have fun destroying each other this life…’
