A three-year engagement and a check, she thought it was just a cold transaction.
When Su Wan married Lu Heng, she knew her role - a decent, quiet and trouble-free "Mrs. Lu". He gave her wealth and aura that no one could match, and he also drew the clearest distance: no love, no love, no love at all, and everything will be settled when it is due.
She abided by her duty, grew up quietly in his world, and buried the undue throbbing deep in her heart. On the last night of the contract, she took off her ring and smiled distantly: "Mr. Lu, the time has come."
"Su Wan," he held her in his arms, his breath hot, his eyes as dark as night, "I unilaterally renewed the contract."
"This time, the deadline is for life."
