[Progress: 18 chapters drafted so far, please add to your library!]
Zhan Wenyu is a diligent nail technician working hard to pay his tuition.
By a stroke of bad luck, he ends up in a contract marriage for three years, and his husband pays him thirty million in one lump sum.
...Thirty! Million!
He could work on nails for the rest of his life and still never earn that much.
Zhan Wenyu quickly gets his head in the game. I'm top-tier workplace drudge, and no one can suck up to my husband better than me (ง •̀_•́)ง
Tang Cheng, by contrast, is completely unruffled. To him, having Zhan Wenyu in the house is no different from hiring a cleaner. Tang Cheng seems to need nothing from him. He only frowns and looks down at him coldly. “Don't do anything unnecessary.”
Unnecessary things... There sure were a lot of those...
Zhan Wenyu suddenly feels guilty and sneaks a hand over his already prominent belly.
With no way to hide the bump much longer, Zhan Wenyu quietly returns twenty million, finds the divorce agreement in Tang Cheng's study and signs it, then leaves the Tang home in the middle of the night, clutching his belly.
.
That day became Tang Cheng's nightmare.
As he drove into the courtyard, his headlights swept past the window, and he clearly saw Zhan Wenyu in the room.
But by the time he'd parked and gone inside, Zhan Wenyu was gone. Only a few drops of blood and pregnancy-ending medicine spilled across the floor remained.
Only then did Tang Cheng realize he had been pregnant.
Every day afterward, when he couldn't find him, Tang Cheng asked himself over and over: Had he looked too frightening through that window?
·
The medicine was scattered all over the floor, but Zhan Wenyu hadn't taken a single pill. The baby was safe in his belly.
With only two things to worry about each day, earning money and raising the baby, life was simple, fulfilling, and pleasant.
One day, Zhan Wenyu is strolling down the street, more than eight months pregnant, bubble tea in one hand and a grilled sausage in the other.
He looks up and unexpectedly meets Tang Cheng's dark expression.
