Rejected: Picked a Grumpy Cute Boss
In the elite circles of the Federation Empire's Third District, everyone knew that the heiress of the Su family, Charlotte Grey, had been in love with Julian Carter for years.
The two families were well-matched in social status, and the pair had grown up together. Yet on their wedding day, the groom fled!
While some pitied her and others waited to laugh at her misfortune, the bride, Charlotte Grey, was thrilled.
As long as the wedding ceremony was completed, she wouldn’t be forced into an arranged marriage—and she could finally give her grandfather the answer he wanted.
No groom? No problem! She’d just find another one!
And then, in a hallway around the corner, she collided with a man.
A breathtakingly handsome man, with fluffy ears, a big bushy tail, and large, glistening eyes that gazed at her with hopeful anticipation.
Charlotte made her decision on the spot—he was the one!
She grabbed him and ran. A quick registration with the central AI, a swift march through the wedding formalities—done in one go!
Just as Charlotte thought she could skip the wedding night, fate had other plans. The man suddenly went into heat.
When she woke up the next morning, she realized the one who had been clinging to her, whimpering and showering her with kisses all night, was none other than the Empire's most formidable First Commander?!
Charlotte: Time to run!
But a month later, at the Imperial University’s opening ceremony, Charlotte froze as she stared at the podium. There stood the commander himself—specially invited, clad in a tailored navy-blue military uniform, his expression cold and unapproachable.
Liam Hunt: "I heard someone took advantage of me in a vulnerable state, dragged me into marriage, and then... comforted me?"*
Charlotte: "Never heard of it. Must be a rumor!"
Then, a miniature version of Liam Hunt popped up beside her: *"Mama, are you suuure you’ve never heard of it?"
Charlotte: *"......"*
