Green Tangerine Americano | Marriage Before Love | Rekindled Romance | Divorced, Then Chasing His Wife | Angsty
-
Wen Qingjiu married Xu Chang because her family arranged it.
Everyone thought they were only putting on an act, and even Xu Chang believed that.
Only Wen Qingjiu knew that he had once looked out for her when they were students.
She remembered that casual kindness for a long time.
She had secretly loved him for years, and only after marrying him did she dare show even a little of her true affection.
After the wedding, they lived like an ordinary married couple, with sweet moments and arguments. The difference was that there wasn't much love between them, so their arguments always hurt.
In the third year of their marriage, Wen Qingjiu asked for a divorce.
Xu Chang readily agreed.
One day after the divorce, Xu Chang received Wen Qingjiu's resignation application. He assumed she was letting her feelings get the better of her.
He said coolly and objectively, "You should know perfectly well that our relationship has never affected our work."
Wen Qingjiu nodded. "Please approve it."
Xu Chang hesitated slightly, but approved it. Their marriage had never been founded on love, and after they had both gotten what they wanted and ended it, he had no right to hold her back.
Their paths crossed less and less, and the red thread of fate between them grew ever fainter.
One day, when their relationship had settled into a calm, distant routine, Xu Chang was preparing to move and hired someone to sort through his belongings.
The organizer found a notebook hidden in a corner of the wardrobe.
It read: The two-thousandth day of loving Xu Chang. I've decided to divorce him.
"Do you still love me?"
"I did once."
Whether it was love or gratitude, she'd paid it all back.
You are my glass moonlight.
Reading Tips
1. A reserved heroine and a sharp-tongued man, with workplace elements and marriage before love. No school setting.
2. This is clearly an angsty push-and-pull romance. The leads may refuse to speak up, act stubborn, and use hurtful words to wound each other. If that's not your thing, read with caution.
