My Hapless Husband Always Thinks I Love Him

After Shen Feibai was reborn, the first thing he did was turn his cheating boyfriend into an ex.

The second thing he did was sign the prenuptial agreement offered by his ex's uncle, making himself his ex's uncle's husband.

His uncle-in-law, Song Xiuyuan, was rich, mature, and exactly his type. After they married, Shen Feibai also got quite a bit of money. It would be more than enough to support him in his old age.

He happily spent the allowance on his card every day, doing his best to keep his legal husband company, indulging him, being considerate, and caring for him. He only hoped that after the divorce, Song Xiuyuan would generously pay him the remaining balance.

He treated this marriage like a job. He never expected Song Xiuyuan to treat it like love.

"Honey, I love you too."

Caught off guard by the sudden confession, Shen Feibai panicked. "Why are you suddenly talking about feelings? You don't want to pay me anymore, do you?"

Song Xiuyuan: ?

Song Xiuyuan had never realized that their marriage was being held together by a mere piece of paper. He'd always thought Shen Feibai married him for love.

After they talked it out, he looked at Shen Feibai sitting silently and helplessly before him and thought, Good thing I'm rich.

"We won't get divorced. All my money is yours." Song Xiuyuan smiled at his beloved and slowly laid out his tempting trap. "What's your answer?"

Shen Feibai looked at the man, grew wary for a moment, then quickly gave up on being wary and said quietly, "Only an idiot turns down easy money..."

"You can have the money, but I never make a deal at a loss."

The man simply sat there, looking him over as if he were a piece of merchandise.

Bai Li nervously clutched the hem of his clothes, squeezing his rosy fingertips until they turned white. Then he lowered his confused eyes, his ears turning red with embarrassment.

The man suddenly chuckled at the sight. "Come here."

When he was twenty, his family suffered a major upheaval. Bai Li also had a grandmother whose life depended on a machine.

He had no money, but he needed a whole lot of it.

By a strange turn of events, he crossed paths with the man.

The man would come to see him now and then, sometimes in the shabby little room he rented, sometimes in a luxurious hotel room. The man gave him lots of money, and lots of care, too.

Days like these passed, and just as he began to think things would get better, the hospital brought him the news of his grandmother's death. At the same time, he discovered that he was pregnant.

Nervous, helpless, and all alone, he tried every way he could to find the man's company. From a distance, he saw the man embracing someone else.

That's when he learned the man was about to get married.

The sudden confusion and helplessness crushed him completely. He realized that he and the man had never had an official relationship. Not even the child in his belly was worth anyone missing.

Just like him, there was no one left who would love the child.

That winter, he left Jiangcheng without telling the man, leaving the place where no one had ever cherished him in the twenty years he'd lived there.

Su Tangyu of the Su family in Jiangcheng was known for his cold, sharp tongue. No one could catch his eye.

One winter, a story spread among the upper circles: Su Tangyu's beloved had run away, and he'd spent a year looking for him. It left everyone shocked and speechless.

Four winters later, Su Tangyu was on a business trip in a neighboring city when a little boy bundled up in a thick padded coat came hopping toward him. "Mister, can I have your empty can?"

He looked down at the little cloth bag already stretched open in the boy's hands. Before he could answer, he saw a thin figure hurrying toward them in the distance.

"I'm sorry, the child's too young to know better." The person crouched before him and picked the child up. The moment their eyes met, he fled in a panic. "Baby, you can't just ask strangers for things."

"But, Daddy, that mister's bottle sells for a lot."

The person he'd searched for so long had gotten married behind his back and even had a child.

Su Tangyu stood rooted to the spot, his clenched fists trembling.

Su Tangyu had thought he would get over it soon. But even knowing the other man was already with someone else, he still lost control and crossed every line while drunk. "That person makes you take the kid out to collect trash to get by. Why didn't you ever think to come to me?"

"Bai Li, if you can pick up trash, why can't you pick me up too?"
