His father was burdened with gambling debts, so Xu Nianhe was forced to marry Fu Jinyan, who was ten years older, and signed a contract that provided compensation for divorce within one year.
When she moved into Fu's house, she deliberately kept a distance and lived in separate rooms to be wary of this aloof uncle.
On the surface, Fu Jinyan abides by the contract, but in fact, he protects her silently, solving her troubles and blocking her family's claims.
At night, he clumsily made excuses to ask for a hug and cuddles, but was repeatedly rejected. He became a strange and difficult uncle in her eyes.
In times of crisis, he strongly protected his wife and declared his ownership, making her feel supported for the first time.
He took off his mask of abstinence and became aloof to the outside world. When he returned home, he turned into a clingy and jealous person who had to sleep with her in his arms.
She got used to his preference, and the idea of divorce disappeared. He even broke the contract and stayed by her side without mentioning divorce.
Instigation from all parties made her mistakenly think she was a substitute, and she was disappointed and filed for divorce. Fu Jinyan was completely panicked.
He humbly pursued his wife and frankly told her that he had been attracted to her for a long time. The ten-year age difference hid his inferiority complex.
After the marriage, her father doted on her, and the grand wedding made up for her regrets. She became pregnant and gave birth to a child, and the family of three stayed together.
It started with a contract and ended with deep love. The ten-year age difference was proof of his ten years of waiting and lifelong pampering.
