After the Pretty One Secretly Married the Top Scientist

Chu Yan grew up with parents who neither loved nor cared for him, and then married a husband who was never home and had no emotional bond with him.

His husband was a renowned scientific genius, always working under an assumed name in some obscure place.

He would reply to maybe one out of every ten messages, and his replies were never more than five words long.

The three-story villa was always cold and quiet. The only ones coming and going were Chu Yan and the dog.

He was living like a pretty little widow of a big shot.

His friend angrily urged him, "You should call off this marriage! What kind of relationship is this? How could anyone have such a beautiful spouse and not cherish him?"

Chu Yan said gently, "My husband's career is important. It's enough that he can focus on his work."

He was so obediently resigned that everyone who saw him felt sorry for him.

Who knew that the moment he got home, Chu Yan would nearly laugh himself breathless?

Hahahahahaha, you guys, who gets it? My husband's rich and never comes home. This widow-style life is so good I wake up laughing even in my dreams!

He kept up appearances with his husband now and then. Chu Yan took the leftover chicken soup from a restaurant and poured it into a thermos for him, leaving a message: "I simmered this for six hours. Take care of yourself, hubby~"

When a suitor sent him flowers, Chu Yan took a picture and sent it over: "Since you aren't home, I got myself some anniversary flowers. Don't worry about me, hubby. I hope your experiment goes smoothly ^3^"

One day, he came home and saw the tall, stern-looking big shot Fu Siyun walking out with a colleague.

Chu Yan hurriedly ducked out of sight. Later, while a handsome man gave him a massage and he ate giant lobsters, he messaged his husband: "I saw you today. I didn't want to interrupt your work, so I left. Don't worry about me~TvT"

Who knew that in the middle of the night, he would be woken by a shower of kisses?

Chu Yan was stunned. In the darkness, he saw a face as handsome as a god leaning over him. His husband calmly undid his cufflinks, his voice gentle.

"The project is over." Fu Siyun's gaze was dark. "For the next three months, I'll be living at home with you. You don't have to worry about interrupting my work anymore."

Chu Yan: "?!?!?!"

Wait, you actually believed me, hubby?!

When Chu Yan learned that Fu Siyun wanted them to consummate their marriage, he, who was intensely afraid of intimate relationships, could only think: ...Why are you just standing there? Pack your bags and run!

Chu Yan used work as an excuse to flee in the middle of the night.

He braced himself and joined a high-IQ variety show. The geniuses competed fiercely, each showing off their talents, while Chu Yan could only clap as hard as he could.

Viewers: "How did this pretty face get on the show? How many back doors did he go through? Why are all those geniuses so friendly with him?"

Chu Yan: "...I'm just being supportive?"

As the show reached its climax, Chu Yan had to team up with someone.

Even though he could only drag a teammate down, all the geniuses fought to pick him.

Just as Chu Yan was at a loss, someone pulled out a chair beside him and sat down. Tall, long-legged, and commanding, he said casually, "My wife is teaming up with me. None of you stand a chance."

The viewers were stunned. It was none other than the world-renowned, nationally treasured scientist!

Chu Yan: "...H-hubby."

Fu Siyun said coolly, "Didn't you say you were busy with work and didn't want to interrupt me? So I'll interrupt myself and come keep you company."

The whole internet exploded.

Chu Yan had no idea how a few casual, half-hearted gestures had won over his genius husband, Fu Siyun.

He also had no idea why he'd packed up so much nourishing soup for him back then!
