The day her older sister eloped, Shen Xinyi was forced to marry the wheelchair-bound, disabled CEO of the Huo family.
On their wedding night, she handed him a divorce agreement. “Three months, then I’m leaving.”
Huo Sihan gave her a cold look. “Know your place. You’re just a substitute.”
Shen Xinyi smiled. She could hear every heartbeat.
His was steady and strong, with a hint of scrutiny and interest, but no disdain at all.
This man was faking it.
From that day on, she became the only person by his side who could truly “hear” him.
She could hear when he pretended to be ill, when he got jealous, and when he fell for her.
When the three months were up, Shen Xinyi signed the divorce papers and left.
But the man in the wheelchair stood up and blocked the door.
“Who gave you permission to hear my heartbeat so clearly and then just walk away?”
Shen Xinyi tilted her head. “Mr. Huo, my job is to read your heartbeat. Whether you get me depends on how you perform.”
