[The husband’s arduous road to winning her back + both leads are sexually pure]
For three years of marriage, Jiang Mo has been walking on eggshells.
Then Lu Hancheng asks her to get a sham divorce so he can marry another woman.
“I’m only marrying her on paper. Once I’ve helped her through this crisis, I’ll remarry you.”
He says it from on high, as if granting her a favor.
But Jiang Mo has no choice.
Three years ago, she was an orphan with nowhere to turn, while Lu Hancheng was a scion of a distinguished family, a man of impeccable character.
Bound by an agreement between their elders, she came to the city to seek refuge with the Lu family, and Lu Hancheng was forced to marry her.
He felt nothing for her but resentment.
So she hid her secret feelings and became his humble, attentive wife.
Jiang Mo knows that girl. She and Lu Hancheng grew up together, and her older brother is as close to him as family.
If Jiang Mo hadn’t come along, they might have married long ago.
Seeing her hesitate, Lu Hancheng looks impatient. “It’s only a sham divorce. You’ll still be Mrs. Lu in private, and you won’t lose any of the wealth and comfort you enjoy.”
Jiang Mo suddenly smiles and signs the divorce agreement without hesitation.
“No need for a sham divorce. Let’s make it real.”
Lu Hancheng has always thought Jiang Mo was just speaking in anger.
But when he has everything arranged and comes to bring her back, all he finds is her wedding invitation.
On a night of torrential rain, he waits outside her home, eyes bloodshot, gripping her arm tightly. “You and him aren’t really married, are you?”
Jiang Mo wrenches her arm free and smiles sweetly. “Mr. Lu, I never joke about marriage.”
I never did before, and I’m not now.
