[Starts at the Civil Affairs Bureau + Husband’s All-Out Pursuit + Humble Hero + Pure Love on Both Sides + Reconciliation After a Breakup]
After four years of marriage, Wen Ci thought Xie Ci hated their arranged union.
He gave her the cold shoulder, tracked her schedule, brought female companions to banquets, and never spared her a second glance.
So she calmly handed him the divorce agreement and said outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, “Xie Ci, this is where we end.”
The man signed with red-rimmed eyes, but as she turned away, he rasped, “The thirty-day cooling-off period. Not a day less.”
Everyone thought the head of the Xie family had finally escaped from the wife he didn’t love.
Only Xie Ci knew that he had fallen for her the moment he lifted her veil on their wedding night.
For four years, he had put on 1,460 performances of “not loving her.” He was just one day away from wrapping up the act.
Now he had thirty days to win back the woman he had pushed away.
“Cici, every night I stood outside your door, listening to you breathe.”
“That white camellia took me four years to find.”
“I’ve signed the withdrawal request. I’m just waiting for you to turn around and look at me.”
Later, all of the capital knew that Xie Ci, head of the Xie family, had one fatal weakness.
That weakness was his wife.
She was the rest of his life, the woman he had spent four years protecting with his life before he finally dared to embrace her openly.
