The Cool-Off Period Can't Cool Me Down: My Ex-Husband Won't Leave Me Alone

[Divorce First, Love Later] [Secret Crush Comes True] [One-on-One Romance]

[Wheelchair-Bound CEO] [Age Gap]

Three years ago, Zhu Yuanhe married her cheating ex-boyfriend's uncle just to prove a point.

The scumbag became her nephew, and his uncle became her husband.

A hefty bride price and a crushing advantage in seniority: two birds with one stone.

The day after the wedding, her husband flew abroad and didn't come home once in three years.

Zhu Yuanhe was perfectly happy with that.

She had the bride price, rental income from her shops, and a studio of her own. She was thriving on her own.

Three years later, her husband suddenly sent her divorce papers.

Zhu Yuanhe signed them at once.

They filed the paperwork at the Civil Affairs Bureau and entered the thirty-day divorce cooling-off period.

She thought their marriage was finally over.

But on the very first day of the cooling-off period, she discovered the aloof, chaste man who seemed beyond her reach sitting in a wheelchair, looking up at her.

"Help me."

Help him with what?

Help him hide his disability, get their divorce certificate, and leave again!

She said, "Fine. It's only thirty days. I can put up with it," and ended up fussing over him more than she had when she was his wife.

Until she discovered the truth.

He had asked for a divorce because he loved her.

She thought she'd signed a fixed-term investment contract...

But from beginning to end, he'd treasured her like nothing else.
