When Xu Wang turned twenty-eight, his family set him up with yet another match.
"It's the daughter of Uncle Shen, who lived next door when you were little. She's pretty, elegant, and a teacher. Oh, she's got such a good temper, too. Just the right person to deal with your bad attitude!"
Xu Wang didn't think he had that bad an attitude. At most, he just couldn't be bothered dealing with people. But if he wanted to focus on making money, he needed to settle his private life once and for all.
He remembered Shen Zhiyu crying and wailing as she followed him around when they were little. She seemed like a sweet, obedient woman who would never dare boss him around after marriage, the perfect candidate.
The matchmaker said the Shen family's daughter had no objections either. All she asked was that he be a living, breathing man.
So Xu Wang and Shen Zhiyu got married in a flash.
The day after the wedding, Xu Wang watched Shen Zhiyu casually change out of her pretty dress and into a pair of ripped, oversized clothes.
Xu Wang: "...?"
"I'm going sea fishing with friends today, so I won't be home for dinner." Shen Zhiyu added, "Oh, and I have classes all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I meet friends on the weekends, and I spend the rest of my time working on self-cultivation. I know you don't like me, and I'm not looking for that kind of relationship either, so good luck making money, Mr. Xu."
Xu Wang: "…"
Damn, had he just been tricked into marriage? :)
