First Love Stand-in Married A Two-faced HusbandChapter 1
When Richard Yukio's long-lost first love returned to China, I had already started calculating how much breakup compensation he would give me.
Coincidentally, Richard had just returned from a business trip.
I cheerfully greeted him but quickly realized I was too excited, so I forced myself to stay composed.
Usually, Richard was as emotionless as a brick wall, but today, he actually smiled, didn't he?
The power of love, indeed, must be the greatest miracle in medicine—it even cured his poker face!
"I need an explanation!" I feared he wouldn't know how to start, so I threw the topic out there to help him along.
"Let's eat first," he said.
My eyes brightened.
Alright, accompany the CEO for a final dinner!
"Upstairs," Richard said, elegantly wiping his mouth and tossing me a word.
I smiled so widely that my eyes narrowed into slits and mentally blessed him and his first love, Carol Green, with eternal happiness!
Then, I realized things weren't as simple as I had imagined.
We had several rounds of "discussions," but Richard's explanation wasn't quite what I expected!
The next day, as usual, he went for his morning run.
Meanwhile, naïve me lay in bed sniffling—Richard, it turns out, was the type of man who ate from one pot but kept an eye on the other.
Just then, the butler announced that his first love had arrived.
My attention immediately snapped to focus, and I sat up in bed.
Wasn't this the person who was supposed to come and bring me my breakup compensation?
“Quickly, invite her in!”
However, the moment I saw her, my hopes slightly shattered.
Richard was quite a handsome guy, and the first love he couldn't forget for all these years was surely a curvy beauty, right? But instead, she turned out to be... completely flat.
My mind raced with chaotic thoughts, but outwardly I kept a polite smile. “Miss Green, I've heard so much about you. Please, make yourself at home!”
Carol had been smiling softly, but the moment she saw me, her smile vanished.
Her lips trembled as her gaze locked on my neck, as if she were about to pounce and bite me any second.
“Nina White, you're shameless!”
The one who insulted me wasn't the delicate Carol, but her ever-present protector, Ida Brown.
Of course, this wasn't the first time she'd cursed me out.
