[Flash Marriage + Seven-Year Age Gap + Truly Marriage First, Love Later + Devoted Couple + Slow-Build Romance + Powerful Man Bows His Head]
[Bright and Rebellious vs. Steady and Self-Controlled]
For her older sister’s sake, Xu Xingyao volunteered to marry the man rumored to be her future brother-in-law.
They got their marriage license in the morning, moved in together in the afternoon, and went to bed that night.
In a single day, she had become Mrs. Pei in name and in fact.
Her new husband, Pei Yanxiu, was disciplined and proper, composed and dignified, and the head of Songcheng’s most powerful family.
Xu Xingyao knew he had no feelings for her, and she felt the same way about him.
Once their one-year agreement was up, they would divorce and go their separate ways.
For Pei Yanxiu, this marriage was completely unexpected.
He wasn’t close to either of the Xu sisters, and it made no difference which one he married. They would only be husband and wife for a year anyway.
Even those in the know thought the contractual couple would divorce as scheduled.
Until, a year later, Xu Xingyao asked for a divorce, and the man who was always calm and self-controlled blocked her at the door.
Pei Yanxiu opened their prenuptial agreement and pointed to one of the clauses, his voice slightly unsteady:
“You said I had the right to renew the contract. Does that still stand?”
Before Xu Xingyao could answer, he lowered his head and kissed her.
“I won’t agree to a divorce.”
“I want to renew our contract.”
He was the first to fall. He was hopelessly in love with her.
