A Blind Match and a Mute Marriage [Period]

A blind man with a bad political background came to Nanping Village. The village chief personally tried to find him a wife, but no one dared to marry him.

Qing Ya agreed.

She was mute and could not find a husband herself.

The man was cold and aloof. He rarely spoke to her, and never touched her.

Qing Ya put up with it.

At least he was handsome, and he could paint.

She had heard that before his political background was officially classified, his family had been typical petty bourgeoisie.

She sympathized with what he had suffered, spared him hard labor, and tolerated his bad temper and fragile pride. By the third year of their marriage, she had finally warmed that cold stone of a heart.

She thought their happy life was just beginning, but he left soon after.

His family, whose status had been restored, took him away on the pretext of getting him treatment, leaving only divorce papers behind.

Clutching the papers, she stood on a hill at the edge of the village. Breaking through the shackles in her heart, she called his name for the first time, tears streaming down her face.

No one answered.

Ten years later.

Nanping Village had become a tourist destination, bustling with visitors.

Lu Xiangming, impeccably dressed in a suit, stepped out of a car and immediately spotted the woman who owned the cafe in the center of town.

Her elegant makeup and composed bearing were completely unlike the woman he had imagined, yet something stirred in his heart.

As if in a trance, he walked over.

"My wife used to live here. She was mute. Have you seen her?"

The woman calmly took a sip of coffee, her expression unchanged. "No, I haven't."
