The God Picks Me Up

(Blurb to be revised) A stubborn, deaf-mute financial genius X a spoiled, lively young woman [Marriage Before Love / Mutual Redemption / Sweet] Blurb: Rumor has it that the eldest young master of the Huo family began studying finance on his own at the age of seven. By thirteen, he was an apprentice to the Huo family's chief trader, a rare genius in the world of finance. But at eighteen, he fell seriously ill and lost both his hearing and his speech. The once-brilliant financial genius became a gloomy, short-tempered good-for-nothing. * Xiang Nanqi's family fell on hard times. Her father called in an old favor and demanded a marriage alliance with the Huo family to save their failing business. The Huo family patriarch gave a cold snort and immediately promised his eldest son to the Xiang family. Under the circumstances, Xiang Nanqi married into the Huo family in grand style. * Only after marrying into the Huo family did she learn how miserable the eldest young master's situation really was. The cook, knowing he couldn't hear, wore a kindly smile as she said something utterly vicious: "If you don't want to eat, then don't. Why do you have to sit around with that icy face all day? You'd deserve to starve to death." The housekeeper told everyone right in front of him, "The madam said that the second young master comes first in everything. The rest of you can do as you please." And this handsome, talented eldest young master, with his long legs and tall frame, always sat quietly by the window as if he knew nothing. Oh, not as if. He really couldn't hear. Beautiful, powerful, and tragic. Xiang Nanqi's fists clenched on the spot. The young woman called her best friend to vent: "Those people actually dare to bully my husband! He's my husband, Xiang Nanqi's husband! How dare they!" From then on, she held her own in the vast Huo household, raining down sharp words and taking on one opponent after another. Until one day... Xiang Nanqi confronted the second young master again, and was just about to have hot soup thrown over her. A pair of arms wrapped around her waist. The man tapped out a few words on his wristband. A hoarse, robotic male voice came out: [You've worked hard, madam. I'll take it from here.] Xiang Nanqi: "???" Didn't he like staying in his room? Why had he come out? The man raised an eyebrow and sent her two text messages: [I heard the commotion and came to see.] [Keep my hearing a secret.] Xiang Nanqi: "!" Wait, so he wasn't actually deaf? So... All those phone calls she'd made with her best friend while right in front of him... All the times she'd called him "husband" on the phone... And all her excited chatter about how handsome her husband was, how long his legs were, how great his figure was... He'd... heard... everything?!!! * Later... Huo Jiu: [Why don't you call me "husband" anymore? You used to say it so naturally.] Xiang Nanqi: "Help! I didn't know you could hear me!" Huo Jiu: [Why don't you come into my bedroom? Didn't you often say you wanted to share a bed with him?] Xiang Nanqi: "I didn't! I never said that!" Huo Jiu: [Oh. But I want to.] Xiang Nanqi: "!!!" Theme: .
