After Marriage, Indulge in Pleasure

[Married-Life Push and Pull] [Growing Closer in Body and Heart] [Falling for Each Other]

He Qingyan, head of the He family, is rumored to be married. Word has it his wife is an obscure orphan girl.

Everyone knows this marriage was only meant to comfort the elderly, frail patriarch of the He family. There is no talk of love or true affection.

He Qingyan, too, is convinced the little wife the old man foisted on him is after the wealth and status of the He family, so he treats her with cold indifference.

Whenever they share a bed, he torments her until the corners of her eyes turn red, only then feeling satisfied.

Gradually, he finds himself wanting more.

Until one day, standing outside the study, he accidentally overhears Wen Mian speaking with the old man.

"Grandpa He, thank you for helping save the orphanage, and for finding a doctor to treat my younger brother."

"You promised that if I married Mr. He for a year, you'd help me get through those two difficulties."

"Now that the year is up, here's the divorce agreement I've signed. Please help persuade Mr. He to sign it."

The old man gently tries to persuade her to stay. "Mianmian, you and Qingyan seem to have gotten along quite well this past year. Why not keep living together?"

"No, thank you, Grandpa He. Mr. He is so exceptional that I could never be worthy of him."

"Besides, my heart has always belonged to someone else."

The young woman refuses without hesitation.

On the other side of the door, He Qingyan slowly clenches his fingers and gives a cold smile.

So that's how it is, Mr. He!

And someone else has your heart!

So her gentleness, thoughtfulness, and obedience this past year were all because of the agreement she made with the old man!

That night, Wen Mian's voice was left in tatters, but he still wouldn't let her go.

And yet the man pressed his lips to her ear and murmured hoarsely, "Be good, don't hide. I'm not done with you yet..."
