[Soapy Ex-Chasing Revenge]
Handsome, mad-dog, scummy, unhinged seme x cool, gentle, levelheaded beauty uke
"He's obedient and doesn't make a fuss. My parents like him, too. Isn't marriage supposed to make life easier?"
Relaxing in his private room at the club, Shen Fengyuan lazily swirled his glass and said this to his friends with a mocking laugh.
-
Four years ago, Shen Fengyuan fell for the pretty young man singing at a bar at first sight.
Delicate and pristine, he seemed to glow beneath the dazzling lights.
Shen Fengyuan plied him with drinks and sweet talk, then offered him a marriage contract: "Baby, I'll get you the connections you need to make it big. You help me deal with my family's pressure to marry. We'll each get what we want, then divorce in five years. Neither of us will hold the other back."
Bai Xingyue had no interest in the glitz and fame of the entertainment industry.
But gazing at the exceptionally handsome man he'd secretly loved for years, he agreed.
He was reserved, never fought for anything, and was obedient and sensible after they married.
Shen Fengyuan had an insatiable appetite for sex, and Bai Xingyue let him have his way.
Shen Fengyuan forbade him from coming home late, taking intimate scenes, or spending time alone with actors and directors. Bai Xingyue obeyed every rule.
Shen Fengyuan was very pleased, and took it all for granted.
Even on the day their marriage contract expired, Shen Fengyuan was still laughing and fooling around with his friends at the club, wearing a mocking smile.
"These days, as long as you get to have fun, why get emotionally involved?"
"He's dull and has no sense of romance. If my parents didn't like him, would I have kept him around this long?"
"Just watch. He can't live without me."
Bai Xingyue stood quietly outside the door. After a long while, he left, carrying with him the sound of their mocking laughter.
Shen Fengyuan's smile vanished the moment he got the phone call.
Everyone watched the young master panic and stumble out of the private room.
He raced home like a madman, only to find not a trace of Bai Xingyue in the kitchen, living room, or bedroom.
Bai Xingyue was gone, leaving no trace behind except a divorce agreement on the table.
The haughty young master of a wealthy family went mad, using every means at his disposal and searching high and low.
When he finally found Bai Xingyue again, the man had become someone else entirely.
Bai Xingyue had traded his usual crisp white shirt for something else. The gentleness in his eyes was gone. With a cigarette between his fingers and a young man in his arms, he pointed at Shen Fengyuan and said coldly, "Baby, let me introduce you. This is my ex-husband."
