[From unfamiliarity to "full maturity", marriage first, love later + double cleansing + long-lasting love + pull between adults, service-oriented male protagonist]
Cen Xiao wanted to marry Shen Youqing for two reasons: he didn't care about her, and he was busy enough.
Shen Youqing doesn't want to waste time outside of work, but Cen Xiao is self-aware, doesn't make noises, doesn't make trouble, and doesn't check in, which perfectly meets all his requirements for a "wife."
He flew to the United States on the third day after the wedding and came back less than ten times in three years.
The two of them were busy with their own affairs. They showed off their affection in videos to fool their elders during the New Year and festivals. After hanging up, they didn't even bother to remember what the other person looked like.
It wasn't until Shen Youqing returned to China to succeed him that the two officially started living together.
After an accidental drunkenness, the two hung out all night again.
"We are all adults. If you have sex after drinking, you don't need to take it seriously."
Shen Youqing didn't know where he heard that Cen Xiao's beloved senior had returned to China.
That night he came back from drinking and blocked her at the bathroom door, with a dark look in his eyes that Cen Xiao had never seen before.
He pinched her wrist: "Cen Xiaoxiao, do you want to divorce me and go be with him?"
Before Cen Xiao could speak, the man kissed her, smelling of alcohol and extremely restrained panic.
That was Shen Youqing's craziest night in their couple's life as a couple.
"Xiaoxiao, don't leave me."
"I can't live without you."
