[Marriage First, Love Later] [Mutually Each Other's First] [Bittersweet Romance] [Intense Push and Pull]
The day Xu Qingqian was detained at the police station, she thought about asking her husband for help.
But they hadn't seen each other in three years of marriage, and she wasn't sure he even remembered her, so she gave up on the idea.
As it happened, Jin Zhengyu was at the station on business that day. He saw his little wife, whom he barely knew, dozing on a hard bench. He didn't wake her, just took care of her problem while he was at it.
He wasn't interested in Xu Qingqian. He'd married her out of spite, to get back at someone.
Later, Jin Zhengyu decided having someone by his side wasn't so bad. Xu Qingqian was obedient and reserved. She never talked back and didn't love him, which suited him perfectly.
Living with Xu Qingqian was pleasant, pleasant enough that Jin Zhengyu forgot their marriage was only contractual.
Then he heard that Xu Qingqian planned to divorce him. He completely lost his composure, suddenly unable to stand the polite distance she showed only to him.
At a gathering, with the guests deep into their drinks, Xu Qingqian was kissed nearly breathless in a private room at the banquet.
Jin Zhengyu held her by the waist, his voice unsteady for the first time in front of her. "Xu Qingqian, is he more worthy of your love than I am?"
"Xu Qingqian, don't you feel even the slightest thing for me?"
