A sudden rain in June and a three-year engagement. In exchange for a huge sum of money to save her life, she threw herself into the game and married Gu Yehan, the most distant and distant man in power in City A.
Su Nian's marriage was a clear-cut deal from the beginning.
He needs a nominal wife to stabilize the family position, without any need for tenderness or love; she will give his mother a chance to survive, abide by the contract, keep to herself, and will never cross the line and be greedy.
On the day he received the certificate from the Civil Affairs Bureau, he was indifferent and taciturn, and was distant throughout the whole process. He handed over the unlimited secondary card, marked the boundary of non-interference between husband and wife, turned around and stepped into the rain.
From then on, she lived in the vast and empty Gu Garden, guarding her own safety under the false reputation of Mrs. Gu.
She is sensible, restrained, never entangled, doesn't expect him to be gentle, doesn't ask for favoritism, quietly does everything decent, and performs this transactional marriage without leakage.
Everyone said that Mr. Gu married a docile and obedient wife, who was loveless, carefree, and tidy.
But no one knew that in countless silent corridors late at night, that cold-hearted man would always stop in front of her door for a moment.
He watched her forbearance and restraint with cold eyes, calmly clearing away all the storms for her, and blocking out all the utilitarianism and calculations that others coveted.
In the beginning, it was a contractual bond of each getting what he wanted, a relationship between strangers who did not disturb each other.
Later, the cold boss fell step by step, breaking all boundaries and rules, and gave her all the tenderness and preference hidden in silence and restraint.
