Are We Still Getting Divorced?

For the best possible business alliance, Xie Mingxi chooses to enter into a marriage contract with Jiang Yunyang.

Jiang Yunyang is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, a mute who cannot speak. She is aloof, with a face so beautiful it seems almost dazzling.

During their three-year marriage of convenience, they live separately. Apart from attending the occasional family banquet, they see each other only a handful of times all year.

Even at family banquets, Jiang Yunyang avoids physical contact with her.

So, as the three-year marriage term stipulated in the contract draws to a close,

Xie Mingxi has already drawn up the divorce papers.

-

But a week before she plans to hand them over,

they get drunk and... unexpectedly end up in bed together.

Rain pours down through the night. Jiang Yunyang, usually as untouchable as a flower on a high mountain, has a faint blush across her porcelain-white cheeks. After drinking, the corners of her eyes are red.

Not only does she take Xie Mingxi's hand, her face flushed, she also writes in her palm:

[Mingxi, could you hold me?]

For the first time, Xie Mingxi hears Jiang Yunyang's voice in the throes of passion.

Soft and tender, trembling, beautiful.

-

To outsiders, Jiang Yunyang, the Jiang family's heiress, is a woman of unimaginable wealth and status. She has severe germophobia, and physical contact with others often causes her to feel sick with revulsion.

Worse, she has developed a rare form of skin hunger.

And the only thing she has ever asked for... is a marriage.

She has loved Xie Mingxi for three years.

But at their first meeting to discuss the wedding arrangements, Xie Mingxi hands her a contract, making it clear that this is purely a business alliance.

After marriage, they will leave each other alone. If either of them falls for someone else, all they have to do is give the other advance notice to end the marriage.

Their eyes meet, and Xie Mingxi asks gently, “Miss Jiang, is there anything you'd like to add to the contract?”

She lowers her lashes and shakes her head, concealing her feelings well.

She hides them well, before and after the wedding.

Until an accident gives her away.

#It takes Xie Mingxi a long time to understand.

Jiang Yunyang can't stand anyone else getting close to her, but she craves everything about Xie Mingxi.#
