CEO Chen’s Daily Quest to Be a Groom-in-Residence

share time: 2025-12-31 06:19:33

Lu Chen, the ruthless CEO of Chen Group, hides a three-year secret—he’s been in love with Su Xiaoman, the owner of the breakfast shop downstairs. Three years ago, when Lu Chen was hunted by enemies, Xiaoman saved him with a bowl of hot congee and a tattered apron. Now, pressured by her dying grandma to marry, Xiaoman declares she’ll only accept a groom-in-residence. Lu Chen immediately launches his "groom-in-residence plan": he works for free at the shop every morning, pretends to be a "life idiot" by spilling soy milk, secretly pays Xiaoman’s grandma’s medical bills with his CEO card, and even makes his secretary stay up all night writing a "Perfect Groom-in-Residence Manual." But Xiaoman doesn’t believe a CEO would want to be a groom-in-residence—she thinks he’s teasing her. Until Lu Chen slams the 51% share certificate of Chen Group on her table, his eyes red: "You gave me warmth with a bowl of congee back then. I want to repay you with my whole life—this time, let me be your ‘family’."
