1.

Jiang Wanqing was twenty-two when she first met Yan Xu.

She had just started her career and spent every day worrying about getting a permanent position and paying rent. Yan Xu, meanwhile, was an investor who was fawned over by everyone in high society. They came from entirely different worlds.

Back then, she never imagined they would have so much to do with each other, let alone that Yan Xu would propose they get married.

He told her honestly that the marriage was for the sake of his family elders, and that it would last five years. The generous compensation was tempting.

Jiang Wanqing readily agreed. She was very satisfied with the deal.

The only problem was that she loved him.

2.

Five years later, they divorced as agreed.

On the last day of their cooling-off period, after her mother urged her again and again, Jiang Wanqing had no choice but to go to dinner with a man her family had set her up with.

Afterward, she unexpectedly spotted Yan Xu, dressed in black, in the parking lot.

She calmly looked away and passed him. The instant they brushed shoulders, her wrist was suddenly seized, and the forceful man pinned her against a car.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Yan Xu looked down at her from above, tightening his grip on her chin. His usually calm, indifferent dark eyes held an uncontrollable chill. "Jiang Wanqing, we're not divorced yet."

3.

Yan Xu never regretted the decisions he made.

Later, when he realized there wasn't a trace of love for him left in Jiang Wanqing's eyes, he had to admit it:

He regretted it. He couldn't accept that she no longer loved him.

[Blurb]

When Li Yang walked into the break room, her coworkers were discussing the kiss mark on their cold-faced boss's neck:

"He must have gotten that just last night. It wasn't there yesterday. For them to go at it so intensely when the next day was a workday... If there weren't photographic proof, I'd have thought my eyes were playing tricks on me."

"Unbelievable. Is this really our cold-blooded, ruthless boss?"

"Do you think he's only mean to us, and privately treats his darling wife with nothing but tenderness?"

Li Yang weakly chimed in, "No, he's not tender at all."

She spoke quietly, and her coworkers, deep in their discussion, didn't hear her. When they turned around, they saw the very boss they were talking about standing behind them, his expression cold.

Li Yang's heart gave a violent leap. She didn't dare look him in the eye.

Ten minutes later, Li Yang was called into the CEO's office to give a work report.

As soon as the door closed, Zhou Sunan pulled her onto his lap and kissed her. Between kisses, he asked, "I'm not tender at all?"

Li Yang's eyes were red. Her voice trembled as she stubbornly talked back: "You're not tender."

Zhou Sunan bit the base of her tongue and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Last night, when you said you were tired, I stopped. Wasn't that tender enough?"

As the Zhou family's heir, Zhou Sunan was known to be cold-hearted and unemotional. To him, marriage was a transaction.

As long as his wife could bring him the benefits he needed, it made no difference whether she was the eldest daughter of the Li family or their illegitimate second daughter.

A married couple only needed to treat each other with courtesy and respect.

Then one night, his wife didn't curl up in his arms as usual. Instead, she turned her back to him and lay far away.

Zhou Sunan frowned and reached out to pull her into his arms, soothing her gently. "Are you unhappy? Why are you sleeping with your back to me?"
