She thought it was a deal.
One-year contract, everyone gets what they need. She helped him stabilize the board of directors, and he gave her Chenxing's legal resources to investigate her father's case five years ago. Don't get entangled with each other, divorce is due.
Wen Yining is the youngest junior partner at Sheng Ting Law Firm. She thought she was the only hunter in this marriage.
Huo Sichen even knew the brand of towels in her apartment. When he signed the agreement, he didn't even read the additional terms.
On the third day after their marriage, she found a due diligence report in his study. Subject of investigation: Wen Yining. Investigation time: three years ago.
She heard him say on the phone: "It's only one year, don't take it seriously."
She became afraid. That's not what I'm afraid of. What's scary is that she's getting used to it - getting used to someone remembering her bleeding gums and replacing her toothbrush; getting used to someone slipping medicine and notes under the door when she coughs so much that she can't sleep.
She asked him: "Which one do you want me to believe? The agreement or the marriage certificate?"
He didn't answer. He placed the marriage certificate in her hand.
"Believe it or not," he said. "I never locked it up."
"We're done here," she said.
He smashed the cup.
She knelt down, picked up the broken glass piece by piece, and placed it next to the marriage certificate.
"You smashed it," she said. "So far, you were the one who smashed it first."
But the hairpin in his pocket made a soft sound when it touched the car key.
Like something was broken.
Intention: Sincerity under restraint is more durable than any oath.
