Slowly but surely, Lu Siheng was quite satisfied with An Yao’s role as a wife who never clung to him or disturbed him. Their arranged marriage was about to reach its second anniversary. Whether to stay or leave was entirely up to An Yao.
An Yao: “Mr. Lu, I’ve already signed the divorce papers. I’ll move out in the next couple of days.”
Lu Siheng: “All right.”
Lu Siheng’s grandmother: “Yaoyao, if you don’t love him, you don’t have to force yourself! And don’t feel guilty. Don’t worry, Grandma will introduce you to someone better. Let that boy stay single for the rest of his life.”
Lu Siheng hadn’t expected that after two years of marriage, he and An Yao still had no feelings for each other, while his grandmother had become completely invested in their relationship…
A few days later, An Yao suddenly changed her mind.
An: “Could we extend our marriage…?”
Lu: “All right.”
An: “You’re not going to ask why?”
Wasn’t the reason just money, status, and…
Money?
She’d never wanted any!
Status?
Well… if she could, she wouldn’t even want anyone to know she had a husband.
Could it be that she only wanted me…?
…All right, then!
As long as Grandma’s condition stabilized and she could enjoy a few more happy years,
making An Yao happy… wasn’t out of the question!
Their friends all thought he wasn’t interested in women and was only keeping up appearances with An Yao because of their arranged marriage.
…
“What?!! You’re saying Madam wants a divorce?!”
“Yes, Mr. Lu.”
“Tell Madam I’m on my way!”
“Understood, Mr. Lu. And what about the divorce lawyer…?”
“What divorce lawyer?! I’m going to have a child and secure my place in the family!”
Screech
Assistant/childhood friend: “…???”
