Crush on My Ex-husband – Chen Xun, Zhu Jiaqian

After a night of springtime passion, Jiang Shishi woke up early to do her makeup and get herself ready. As a full-time housewife, maintaining decorum and responsibility were Jiang Shishi's duties, and living a humble and obedient life was her guiding principle. "Three years, two children" was the performance target Jiang Shishi had to meet. However, it had been two years since she married into the Qi family, and she hadn't had any children yet. Her mother-in-law was extremely dissatisfied with the situation, forcing Jiang Shishi to drink various Chinese medicines for treatment every day. Of course, Jiang Shishi willingly obeyed these arrangements to stay in the Qi family.

Qi Junye, as the only son of the Qi family and the CEO of Junyue Group, not only had a successful career but also exuded charm and was practically the ideal male lead in a romantic drama. Thinking of her husband, Jiang Shishi looked at Qi Junye with adoration as he approached her. Her mother-in-law instructed Jiang Shishi to bring some snacks to Qi Junye.

In the evening, Jiang Shishi personally prepared a midnight snack for Qi Junye. She wanted to send him a message on WeChat but kept typing and deleting the words in the chatbox. In the end, she decided to bring the snacks to his office herself. However, when she arrived at the company's entrance, she unexpectedly saw Qi Junye and another girl hugging and kissing in a car. The snacks she was holding slipped from her hands to the ground.

As Jiang Shishi quickly realized the situation, she hailed a taxi and followed Qi Junye's car. With her own eyes, she saw the two of them enter a hotel together, still in each other's arms.

The next day, Jiang Shishi handed Qi Junye a divorce agreement. However, he rejected the divorce agreement and hoped that Jiang Shishi would reconsider. Seeing that Jiang Shishi was determined, Qi Junye proposed a one-month cooling-off period. Reflecting on the unexpected revelation she had overheard about her father's death being related to something Qi Junye had said, Jiang Shishi presented her own condition: she wanted to enter Junyue Group.

Jiang Shishi arrived at the company as scheduled, but Qi Junye was already waiting at the entrance. However, Jiang Shishi, as if she hadn't seen Qi Junye, walked past him and distributed snacks to her colleagues in the design department. Qi Junye was momentarily stunned, and with a cold expression, he walked past Jiang Shishi. His assistant noticed his boss Qi Junye's mood and proactively handed him the sweets brought by Jiang Shishi. Qi Junye hesitated for a moment but extended his hand. However, at the same time, the assistant withdrew his hand, assuming that Qi Junye was tired of eating these at home and wanted to enjoy them alone. Qi Junye directly ordered his assistant to go to the suburban office to retrieve some documents, trying to ease his frustration. The bewildered assistant had no choice but to comply.

Inside the office, people began to speculate about Jiang Shishi's identity. Regarding Qi Junye's mysterious wedding from years ago, nobody except family members knew what Qi Tai Tai (Mrs. Qi) actually looked like. Some speculated that Jiang Shishi was the rumored Mrs. Qi, and Jiang Shishi just smiled at these discussions.

Qi Junye introduced the new director at Junyue, Chu Yu (played by Lv Yan), to the office, and everyone cheered except for Jiang Shishi, who stared fiercely at the girl in front of her. Wasn't she the girl Qi Junye was having an affair with? However, the next moment, Chu Yu approached Jiang Shishi, shook her hand, and introduced the two as college classmates. Jiang Shishi didn't seem pleased and referred to her as Chu Bailian, accusing her of being fake.

Later, the two met in the restroom, where Chu Yu taunted Jiang Shishi, and Jiang Shishi responded by calling her a third party. To get Jiang Shishi to explain herself, Chu Yu chased after her, but Jiang Shishi accidentally slapped her when she turned around. Upon seeing Qi Junye behind her, Chu Yu quickly ran to his side and pretended that Jiang Shishi had hit her. Jiang Shishi, unapologetic, walked up and gave Chu Yu another slap, firmly establishing her "guilt."

During dinner, Jiang Shishi wolfed down the food on the table, and her mother-in-law, noticing that she didn't resemble Qi Tai Tai at all, started to lecture her. However, Jiang Shishi didn't care. She no longer feared the position of Qi Tai Tai, and she was upset about the child growing inside her, which she had learned about not long ago.

After getting out of bed, Qi Junye selected a tie and attempted to tie it in front of the mirror. However, after several attempts, he couldn't get it right and decided to go find Jiang Shishi. However, the nanny informed him that Jiang Shishi had already left for work. Qi Junye lost his appetite as he looked at the breakfast on the table. His assistant observed Qi Junye's disheveled appearance and wanted to offer a reminder but received only disdain from Qi Junye.

As Qi Junye watched Jiang Shishi busy with her work, he reminisced about the loving breakfasts she made for him every day and how she took care of his daily needs. Qi Junye couldn't resist creating an opportunity to cross paths with Jiang Shishi. However, when they bumped into each other face-to-face, he shyly turned away from her.

Qi Junye called Jiang Shishi into his office and reminded her to reduce their interactions at the company and to maintain the appearance of being Mrs. Qi at home. Jiang Shishi approached and reached out to touch Qi Junye's face, but she followed it up with a slap. She firmly refused all of his requests and reminded him not to be too self-absorbed. Qi Junye was left stunned by her actions.

In the office, employees privately discussed the relationship between Qi Junye, Chu Yu (played by Lv Yan), and Jiang Shishi. Chu Yu, who overheard the conversation, felt embarrassed and put an end to their discussion. Seeing Jiang Shishi enter the restroom, Chu Yu followed quietly with a mop. She listened to the noises inside and then raised the mop to shake off the dust inside the restroom. However, the screams coming from the restroom were not Jiang Shishi's. At that moment, Jiang Shishi popped her head out from behind Chu Yu and taunted her. Chu Yu, in response, threw the mop at Jiang Shishi and ran off on her own.

Turning to Qi Junye and hugging his arm, Chu Yu accused Jiang Shishi of bullying her. Qi Junye took the mop from Jiang Shishi's hand and ordered her to leave Junyue immediately. Jiang Shishi leaned closer to Qi Junye's ear and used the terms of their agreement to threaten him.

Fortunately, the appearance of the deputy general manager broke the deadlock. The deputy manager separated Qi Junye and Chu Yu and provided Jiang Shishi with a private "You Dun" typically used by the company's top executives, allowing her to better assist with designing.

Jiang Shishi worked overtime in the company to check a USB drive. Qi Junye, who was still at the office, approached Jiang Shishi to see what she was working on. Feeling uneasy, Jiang Shishi pushed Qi Junye away, shut down her computer, and grabbed her bag to leave, leaving Qi Junye sitting there looking bewildered, as if he didn't know what had just happened.

Guests arrived at home, and following her mother-in-law's wishes, Jiang Shishi decided to greet them. She preferred not to engage too much with her mother-in-law, after all. One of the guests' children pointed at the necklace around Jiang Shishi's neck, wanting to play with it. Jiang Shishi firmly declined the child's request, which upset her mother-in-law. She insisted that Jiang Shishi should give up her necklace, but Jiang Shishi counterattacked by offering her the necklace. When the child realized they couldn't get what they wanted, they resorted to physical violence and started hitting Jiang Shishi. Jiang Shishi, not pleased with this, scolded the child, and the other ladies present decided to leave after witnessing Qi Tai Tai's actions.

In the evening, Qi Junye watched as Jiang Shishi held a paintbrush and thought she was drawing him. He sat on the sofa, motionless, thinking he was her model. After a few hours, Qi Junye fell asleep on the sofa. Jiang Shishi touched his feverish forehead and decided to help him onto the bed. She used a towel to wipe his forehead, intending to leave, but Qi Junye held her hand and pulled her back. Unable to resist, Jiang Shishi ended up sleeping by Qi Junye's side for the night.

When Qi Junye woke up and saw Jiang Shishi sleeping next to him, he carefully got up, picked her up, and placed her on the bed. He gazed down at her with affection.

Jiang Shishi woke up in the early morning and realized it was already 8:30 am. She quickly changed her clothes and asked for a ride from Qi Junye, but Qi Junye insisted on giving her a day off and drove away. Jiang Shishi thought she would rest at home for the day, but instead, she rode her electric bike to the office alone.

Just as she arrived at the company's entrance, she encountered Chu Yu (played by Lv Yan). The two of them made a bet – the winner's design would be used for a project, and the loser had to disappear from the other's sight. As Jiang Shishi worked late into the night, Qi Junye decided to give her a ride home, but to his surprise, he saw another guy waiting to pick up Jiang Shishi at the company's entrance. Qi Junye's pupils dilated in shock.

Qi Junye watched in disbelief as Jiang Shishi got into another man's car and drove away. Frustrated by this surprise, Qi Junye could only stare in anger. Qi Junye's mother confronted him with a divorce agreement, but before he could say anything, his mother clapped her hands in approval and had even packed Jiang Shishi's luggage. As she walked out the door with her luggage, Jiang Shishi ran into Liu Shiyou, whom she mistakenly thought was Jiang Shishi's new lover. Qi Junye chased after them to stop his mother, but the heartbroken Jiang Shishi took the luggage from Qi Junye's hands and left with Liu Shiyou in the car.

Qi Junye instructed Assistant Mo to investigate Liu Shiyou's background. However, before Assistant Mo could finish speaking, Qi Junye hung up the phone and began reviewing the information himself. On the other side, the departing Jiang Shishi was arranged to have a singles party at a bar. The crowd demanded that she drink, but Liu Shiyou appeared and helped her out of the situation. Qi Junye appeared at the party with a stern face, trying to take Jiang Shishi home. However, she pushed him away. When Jiang Shishi refused to cooperate, Qi Junye resorted to using the agreement as a threat. Eventually, Jiang Shishi picked up her bag and left with Qi Junye.

Qi Junye, seeing that Jiang Shishi wouldn't get in the car, decided to pick her up and placed her in the passenger seat, even taking the initiative to fasten her seatbelt. Qi Junye then took Jiang Shishi to the place where he had previously had a date with Chu Yu.

As soon as Jiang Shishi closed the door, there was a knock at the door. When Jiang Shishi opened it, she came face to face with Chu Yu. Chu Yu, dressed in a white lace camisole and holding a bottle of red wine, raised an eyebrow and questioned Jiang Shishi about her attire in the middle of the night, implying she was trying to seduce someone. Chu Yu, however, explained with a straight face that she had come to borrow a bottle opener from Junye Ge (Brother Junye).

Unable to argue with Jiang Shishi, Chu Yu called Qi Junye (played by Chen Xun) to explain that she had borrowed the bottle opener from his house last Tuesday, the same day his car broke down and was sent for repairs. Hearing this, Jiang Shishi finally realized that it was all a deliberate act by Chu Yu. She hugged Qi Junye's arm and asked Chu Yu to leave. Chu Yu, excited about staying there, was locked out of the room by a furious Jiang Shishi.

Chu Yu recalled Qi Junye's mother telling her about his divorce and expressing the desire for her to become her daughter-in-law. Standing outside the door, Chu Yu was secretly delighted and eavesdropped on the conversation inside.

Qi Junye's mother, as well as Jiang Shishi, were unaware of this property, which Qi Junye had bought for peace and convenience for work. Surprisingly, Qi Junye praised Jiang Shishi for her recent behavior.

Suddenly, the power went out in the room, causing Qi Junye to fall on top of Jiang Shishi. They were close, and their heartbeats quickened. Qi Junye asked Jiang Shishi if she would like to continue being Mrs. Qi. Jiang Shishi was shocked by the proposal, thinking that Qi Junye must have taken the wrong medication.

As Qi Junye was about to kiss her, Jiang Shishi began to feel nauseous.

When Jiang Shishi (played by Zhu Jiaqian) came out of the bathroom, Qi Junye (played by Chen Xun) was already waiting with a glass of water. However, as soon as Jiang Shishi's hand touched the glass, she rushed back to the bathroom, feeling nauseous. Qi Junye, who was waiting outside the door, didn't understand why she had suddenly rushed to the bathroom, thinking that his words had disgusted her.

Qi Junye helped Jiang Shishi back to the room, covered her with a blanket, and sat by her side, waiting for her. When Jiang Shishi urged him to leave, he shamelessly lay down next to her. Seeing this, Jiang Shishi kicked him away and ordered him to sleep on the sofa.

As Jiang Shishi lay in bed, she couldn't fall asleep and kept thinking about Qi Junye's sweet words and actions earlier. A smile crept onto her lips, but she quickly shook her head, reminding herself to stay clear of this scoundrel.

The next morning, Jiang Shishi was awakened by the growling of her stomach. When she opened the door, she found that Qi Junye had already prepared breakfast for her. Hungry, she wolfed down a few bites, only to rush to the bathroom to vomit shortly after.

In the company restroom, Chu Yu (played by Lv Yan) confronted Jiang Shishi once again. She taunted Jiang Shishi, suggesting that she should divorce Qi Junye and leave him. Jiang Shishi realized that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Song, had been spreading rumors. She responded with a few retorts and left.

During a company meeting, Chu Yu and Jiang Shishi took turns introducing their product design concepts. Towards the end, Jiang Shishi presented surveillance footage showing Chu Yu stealing product design ideas. Everyone in the room was shocked by the video, and despite Chu Yu's attempt to intervene, she ended up on the ground, kneeling beside Jiang Shishi.

Seeing the situation, Qi Junye immediately fired Chu Yu, and Jiang Shishi was temporarily appointed as the head of the design department.

At the Junye Group's new product launch event, Jiang Shishi (played by Zhu Jiaqian), as the designer of the beverage, took the stage to present her design concepts. Her speech garnered applause and praise from the audience. After the event, Jiang Shishi coincidentally encountered Qi Junye (played by Chen Xun) while he was handing out invoices to his mother and younger brother. Jiang Shishi intervened and sent her mother and brother away. It was only today that Jiang Shishi learned that her mother and brother had been regularly asking Qi Junye for money ever since their marriage. This financial burden, combined with other issues, had caused Qi Junye to withhold financial support from Jiang Shishi, and he hadn't informed her about it.

Upon learning the truth, Jiang Shishi apologized to Qi Junye. He comforted her by hugging her and gently patting her head. This time, Jiang Shishi didn't resist; instead, she embraced Qi Junye.

In the evening, Qi Junye and Jiang Shishi sat together, sharing a drink. Jiang Shishi worried about how to repay the debt that Jiang's family owed Qi Junye, realizing that it was impossible for her to clear it entirely. Qi Junye caressed her face, trying to comfort her.

Thinking about her marriage, which was originally just a transaction, and her husband, whom she believed didn't love her, Jiang Shishi couldn't help but shed tears. Beside her, Qi Junye also shared his feelings of helplessness and sadness about the arranged life he had been given.

After a few drinks, Qi Junye became noticeably intoxicated, his face flushed. Holding Jiang Shishi's hand, he used his tie to wrap their hands tightly together, as if doing so would keep them together forever and prevent any future separation. Qi Junye's flushed face was buried in Jiang Shishi's neck as he mumbled words of affection, begging her to hold him and not leave him. Jiang Shishi was thoroughly charmed and moved by his gestures.

Waking up in the morning, Qi Junye (played by Chen Xun) stretched his arms, attempting to get up. However, his arms were bound to the table, restricting his movements. Qi Junye had to twist his neck to free himself from the tie that was fastened to the table. As he touched the headband he had worn the previous night, he reminisced about his drunken antics when he had playfully asked Jiang Shishi (played by Zhu Jiaqian) to help him brush his teeth and wash his face. Suddenly, he heard a loud crack, and a sharp pain shot through his neck as he turned it abruptly. Regret washed over him as he wondered what he had done.

At the company, Jiang Shishi coincidentally crossed paths with Qi Junye, but both of them pretended not to notice each other. Qi Junye casually grabbed a nearby flowerpot and began spraying water. When Jiang Shishi walked away, Qi Junye realized that he had accidentally sprayed all the water onto a female employee's face, making him feel embarrassed. He quickly left the scene.

Sitting at her desk, Jiang Shishi received an invitation from the prestigious DK Group in the jewelry industry. Without hesitation, she declined the offer. However, as soon as she hung up the phone, she realized that it was the renowned DK Group. Despite this, she had no regrets; it wasn't the right time for her to leave the Junye Group.

Facing the newly entered Junye Group in the jewelry industry, DK Group's CEO Lin Mochen (played by Wang Jiayu) didn't pay much attention, but he couldn't underestimate Qi Junye. He needed to eliminate him as soon as possible, and Jiang Shishi, as Qi Junye's weakness, became a significant focus for Lin Mochen.

Lin Mochen arrived at the Junye Group in a red Ferrari, holding a bouquet of roses, which drew attention. He waited until Jiang Shishi appeared and, with a bouquet of roses in hand, declared his love for her. Jiang Shishi replied that she wasn't planning to date anyone, but Lin Mochen handed her his business card, revealing his affiliation with DK Group. This revelation shocked Jiang Shishi, but she still turned down Lin Mochen's invitation. Qi Junye, who had witnessed everything, was present in the background.

Despite being rejected, Lin Mochen didn't give up. He continued to send different flowers to Jiang Shishi every day, but the outcome remained the same each time. Seeing his love rival's persistence, Qi Junye decided to take matters into his own hands. When he returned home, he saw tulips on the table and promptly threw them into the trash bin. Jiang Shishi, noticing her purchased flowers in the trash, became agitated. Qi Junye, hearing that they were the flowers he had bought, retrieved the tulips from the trash.

Qi Junye kindly reminded Jiang Shishi that Lin Mochen was a playboy. Jiang Shishi, not one to back down, immediately showed a seemingly ambiguous photo of Qi Junye and Chu Yu, causing Qi Junye to react surprisingly by commenting on how unattractive he looked in the picture. This reaction puzzled Jiang Shishi.

Qi Junye then lifted Jiang Shishi onto the table, declaring his innocence and insisting that he had not cheated. Seeing Jiang Shishi's disappointed expression, Qi Junye playfully teased her.

At that moment, Chu Yu knocked on the door, calling for Junye Gege (older brother Junye). Qi Junye turned to open the door and directly questioned whether the photo was arranged by Chu Yu. Chu Yu's initial response was denial, but she turned the tables on Jiang Shishi. Qi Junye, without hesitation, pulled Jiang Shishi, who had been hiding behind the door, and embraced her waist, kissing her passionately in front of Chu Yu. This unexpected kiss left Chu Yu dumbfounded. Qi Junye then asserted his authority, telling Chu Yu not to visit him anymore as he was already married. With that said, he lifted the bewildered Jiang Shishi and closed the door on Chu Yu.

In the face of Qi Junye's bold move, Jiang Shishi became angry with him, but secretly found it amusing.

In her quest to win Qi Junye, Chu Yu directly attended Mrs. Song's afternoon tea event. However, she accidentally spilled water on herself while sitting, prompting Mrs. Song to take her to Qi Junye's room to change clothes. Excitedly, Chu Yu put on Qi Junye's shirt, intentionally leaving the buttons at her neck undone. She lounged on Qi Junye's bed, idly flipping through magazines.

When Qi Junye returned home with Jiang Shishi, she went to the bedroom first and saw Chu Yu lying on the bed with her thighs exposed. Jiang Shishi promptly took out her phone and began recording, startling Chu Yu, who quickly covered herself with the bedsheet. She chased after Jiang Shishi, demanding that she delete the video, but ended up being pushed to the ground.

When Qi Junye entered the room, he immediately sent Chu Yu away and grabbed Jiang Shishi's arm, attempting to explain. However, Jiang Shishi was not interested in listening and just wanted to leave. Helpless, Qi Junye pulled her into his embrace and asked her to be his wife.
