*Stoic, old-fashioned man X gentle, clingy sweetheart | Amnesia | Marriage first, love later

[Blurb]

Yan Mu and Lu Yancheng's marriage began as a business alliance.

After three years of marriage, they still hadn't fallen in love. Yan Mu decided to cut her losses and brought up divorce first.

Lu Yancheng was silent for a moment, then signed the divorce papers, as calm and careless as he'd been when deciding to marry her.

Yan Mu was glad she'd made the right choice and was about to celebrate her impending return to single life with her best friend when a car accident took seven years of her memories. When she awoke, a handsome, refined man with an air of distinction was in her hospital room, claiming to be her husband.

Her best friend filled her in: Your husband is the heir to the Lu family, one of Beicheng's most powerful and wealthy families!

He knew all her habits and took care of every little thing. Even her best friend remarked, "No wonder you're such a lovesick fool."

Yan Mu looked at her doubtfully. "Really?"

Her best friend listed all the evidence of Yan Mu's lovesick behavior. "Trust me, you're head over heels!"

Yan Mu was still a little skeptical. She didn't think she could fall for an uninteresting old-fashioned man like Lu Yancheng.

After testing the waters a few times, she realized her best friend might be right.

A little while later, Yan Mu decided the time was right and asked Lu Yancheng directly, "Were we pretty close before?"

Lu Yancheng narrowed his eyes, ignored the divorce papers she'd already signed, and smiled faintly. "We were all right."

So it was true.

Sure that their love was unbreakable, Yan Mu dropped the act. Looking at the rainwater on the ground, she let her spoiled, clingy side show and reminded him, "There's water on the ground. It'll get my shoes wet."

That meant she wanted him to carry her.

Lu Yancheng understood what she was really saying. He tugged helplessly at the corner of his mouth, unfastened his shirt cuffs, bent down, and picked her up.

For a long time after they married, Lu Yancheng and Yan Mu treated each other with polite respect, except in bed.

For Lu Yancheng, it was just right, exactly what he wanted from marriage.

He never thought Yan Mu would want a divorce.

He never thought that after losing her memories, Yan Mu would become a spoiled, clingy sweetheart.

And he never expected that, compared to their former courteous distance, he would prefer having her sit on his lap, kiss him while ordering him around, and call him "hubby" in a soft voice.
