After Divorcing the Coldhearted Professor

Chu Chen had been secretly in love with Xue Muyan since childhood. Chu Chen was a rich second-generation slacker and poor student, while Xue Muyan was a gifted top student from a distinguished family. Their youthful love was passionate and intense. Chu Chen confessed to Xue Muyan, only to be completely rejected. Chu Chen's face turned red, then pale. He scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh to save face. "I was joking." Xue Muyan lowered his head to work on his problems and never spoke to him again. By the time Xue Muyan was twenty-eight, he was a renowned professor, while Chu Chen had become a billionaire businessman. Chu Chen still loved Xue Muyan. One ordinary afternoon, Chu Chen happened to give Xue Muyan a ride. As always, they sat in silence. "Will you marry me?" Chu Chen jolted and slammed on the brakes, staring at him in shock. Xue Muyan calmly repeated, "Would you be willing to marry me?" Chu Chen and Xue Muyan got married. Married life wasn't nearly as wonderful as Chu Chen had imagined. There was no wedding, no honeymoon, and they rarely even shared a bed. Xue Muyan cared only about research and solving problems. He didn't understand love, and didn't even know how to be a husband. Their marriage went on like this for five years. During those years, Chu Chen was a decisive boss at work and a devoted househusband at home, caring for Xue Muyan in every way. But he was happy with it. Then Li Shuang appeared, a young and beautiful doctoral student. For the first time, Chu Chen learned that Xue Muyan could be talkative. They discussed things he couldn't understand. When Chu Chen was sick, Xue Muyan didn't care. When Li Shuang fell ill, Xue Muyan brought gifts to visit her. In Xue Muyan's eyes, Chu Chen saw something called "affection." Chu Chen was afraid. Years of unease and grievance surged through him. When Li Shuang deliberately tried to provoke him, he accidentally shoved her. She lost her footing, fell down the stairs, and remained unconscious for three days. Xue Muyan asked him why he had done it. His icy expression pierced Chu Chen's heart like a sword. Chu Chen argued with Xue Muyan, but Xue Muyan merely watched him in silence, calm and unmoved, until Chu Chen furiously tore up his research report. * "Chu Chen, let's get a divorce." On the day they divorced, Chu Chen beat Xue Muyan up. He pointed at Xue Muyan's nose and swore, "I'm rich and handsome. Who says either of us can't live without the other?!" On the fifteenth day after the divorce, Xue Muyan was hospitalized after accidentally eating cilantro, which he was allergic to. Xue Muyan realized that he truly couldn't live without Chu Chen.
