On their third wedding anniversary, Wen Tong handed over her dark red marriage certificate and got a jade-green divorce certificate in return.
Years of passion had been worn away over the course of three years of marriage. The moment he got the divorce papers, her ex-husband, Hu Zheng, pulled out his phone and sent someone a WeChat message, nervous and hopeful like a boy in the throes of first love.
It was a side of him Wen Tong had never seen before. Their three-year marriage had been a joke, constantly mocking her for being the only one who had ever been invested in it.
A freelancer, she could work wherever and whenever she wanted. After the divorce, she packed her bags and set off on an impromptu trip.
Along the way, she met a young man four years her junior, with fashionable permed hair, bright clothes, and an outgoing, lively personality.
He was like a dependable, good-natured big dog. He sweetly called her "Sis," put on a spectacular fireworks display for her birthday, and took her for drives whenever she was in a bad mood. Yet he never overstepped or pressed her about her past or the things that hurt her.
Wen Tong always thought of him as a polite, well-mannered little brother, until she realized his feelings for her were changing. Panicking, she packed her bags and prepared to leave.
But before she even reached the elevator, he suddenly pulled her into his room.
The usually gentle younger man changed completely. One arm tightened around her waist, drawing her against him, while he stroked her face and demanded coldly, "Sis, you don't want me anymore? What haven't I done well enough?"
