My beautiful wife is a rich lady

The afternoon sun streamed through the gaps between the towering buildings, casting warm yet gentle light onto the bustling streets. The air carried a faint aroma of freshly brewed coffee from a nearby café. Ethan walked briskly along the sidewalk, a leather briefcase in one hand and a stack of documents in the other. His brow was furrowed in concentration as he mentally reviewed the data analysis for an upcoming meeting.Just as he rounded a street corner, he suddenly collided with someone head-on.The impact sent his documents scattering like autumn leaves, papers fluttering in all directions."Sorry!" Ethan blurted out instinctively, quickly crouching down to retrieve the fallen sheets."It's alright. I wasn't paying attention either," a soft, melodious voice replied.Ethan looked up and found himself staring into a pair of striking emerald-green eyes.She was breathtaking. Her long, silky black hair gleamed in the sunlight, framing her exquisitely delicate features. Dressed in a crisp white blouse and a pair of tailored trousers, she exuded an air of effortless elegance.She smiled gently and knelt to help him gather his scattered papers, her movements graceful and unhurried."Thank you…" Ethan murmured, momentarily caught off guard."These seem important," she remarked as she handed him a neatly stacked pile of documents."Yes, they are. I have a major project meeting today…" He stopped mid-sentence, realizing he had just disclosed unnecessary information to a complete stranger. Clearing his throat awkwardly, he quickly organized his papers."I hope your meeting goes well," she said with a small nod before brushing off invisible dust from her sleeves and walking away.Ethan stood frozen for a moment, watching her retreating figure, before his phone buzzed, reminding him of the time. Snapping out of his daze, he hurried toward his office.—The meeting later that day turned out to be more significant than Ethan had anticipated. It was about a major collaboration project, and the company's executives were introducing their partner firm."For this project, we will be working closely with HuaYao Group. Their representatives will be collaborating with us to oversee its development…" the team leader announced.Ethan skimmed through the documents. He had heard of HuaYao Group—a corporate giant with vast influence. While his own company was reputable, it was nowhere near HuaYao's level. This partnership was a crucial opportunity."And now, let's welcome HuaYao Group's project representatives."The meeting room door swung open.Ethan looked up—and his breath caught.The woman from earlier walked in.She was dressed in a sleek business suit that accentuated her tall, slender frame. Her black heels clicked crisply against the floor as she moved with an air of quiet confidence."Good afternoon, everyone. I am Olivia, the project manager representing HuaYao Group. I look forward to working with all of you."Her voice was steady, professional, and commanding.Ethan's mind reeled. She's the representative?!—As the project progressed, Ethan and Olivia's interactions became more frequent.At first, he was simply impressed by her intelligence and efficiency. Whether it was analyzing proposals or making critical decisions, she handled everything with a level of precision that left no room for doubt.Despite their occasional disagreements, Olivia never raised her voice. She had an unshakable composure, always approaching challenges with rationality and grace.Slowly, Ethan found himself drawn to her.One late evening, while fetching coffee from the break room, he noticed Olivia standing by the window, gazing at the city lights. The office glow cast a warm hue on her side profile, highlighting her serene yet contemplative expression.Walking over, he handed her a cup. "Long day?"She turned to him and smiled. "You could say that."They stood side by side, looking at the glittering skyline. No words were needed; the quiet companionship between them spoke volumes.Over time, their relationship changed. Late-night work sessions, shared glances, and fleeting touches all wove together an unspoken connection.As the project neared completion, Ethan finally gathered the courage to ask, "Would you like to have dinner with me?"Olivia paused, then her lips curved into a smile. "I'd love to."That was how it began.—Their romance unfolded naturally.Olivia was intelligent, graceful, and full of quiet strength. Ethan was witty, hardworking, and full of determination. Their colleagues soon noticed the chemistry between them, and before long, they became the company's most envied couple.A year later, they got married.The wedding was simple yet intimate. Ethan believed he had found a woman much like himself—a hardworking professional, ready to build a modest yet fulfilling life together.But soon after marriage, subtle details began to surface—small hints that Olivia might not be as ordinary as she seemed.Her wardrobe contained designer clothing that most office workers could never afford. She had an uncanny familiarity with exclusive fine-dining restaurants. And even on days when she wasn't working, her bank balance never seemed to decrease.Ethan never questioned it too deeply.Until one evening, when Olivia received a call.He was casually browsing his laptop when he heard her answer in an unusually authoritative tone."Inform the board of directors—I'll attend the meeting tomorrow."Ethan froze.Board of directors?His wife… Who exactly is she?
