A Contract Marriage to the Mute CEO

Xiao Huai excels at school, has a sunny personality, and is incredibly handsome.

To make ends meet, he runs a sleep-aid livestream account with over a hundred thousand followers.

Just as tuition and rent are coming due, Xiao Huai receives a contract.

A marriage of convenience.

His new father is the chairman of a wealthy family, and Xiao Huai is his illegitimate son. His father wants him to take the place of his half-brother and marry a mute CEO, in exchange for five percent of the company's shares.

The man he's marrying is Lu Xingzhi, the youngest and most decisive head of the Lu Group, a position he attained at just twenty-six.

On their wedding day, Xiao Huai asks him, "Could you cover my tuition for now? School starts next month. I'll definitely pay you back later."

Lu Xingzhi nods, but Xiao Huai forgets that he's mute and asks again, "Bro, can you give me an answer?"

Lu Xingzhi types it out for him: "Okay."

The man's eyes curve into a gentle smile. He is nothing like the cold-hearted person in the rumors. He even packs up and throws out the person who keeps talking to him.

Xiao Huai breathes a sigh of relief.

After they marry, Xiao Huai assumes that he and Lu Xingzhi are simply in a marriage of convenience.

After all, Lu Xingzhi keeps avoiding him, only coming home when he has to. Even when their eyes meet, he turns away at once. Forget sharing a bed; if they exchange more than a couple of words, Lu Xingzhi goes to his room and locks the door.

Lu Xingzhi can't speak to begin with, and their relationship is so awkward that even after months of marriage, they haven't added each other on WeChat. Aside from the events specified in their contract, they barely interact.

Until one day, Xiao Huai and Lu Xingzhi accidentally end up tangled together.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Neither sleeps a wink.

Crying doesn't help Xiao Huai. Lu Xingzhi can't speak, so he just buries his head and gets to work.

The next day, Xiao Huai's legs are weak and his voice hoarse. Lu Xingzhi goes to bring him food to restore his strength.

Xiao Huai opens Lu Xingzhi's phone. It has no password.

The lock screen is Xiao Huai, the wallpaper is Xiao Huai, and the photo gallery is packed with pictures of him.

Supporting his aching waist, Xiao Huai gets out of bed and opens a drawer. Inside are no confidential documents or contracts, just stacks and stacks of his photos in every imaginable pose, including pictures of him as a child. And at the very back of the drawer, there are things that cannot be mentioned aloud...

Later, Xiao Huai also discovers that Lu Xingzhi is the top donor in his livestream, and has followed him ever since he first started streaming.

They save each other.

The top is mute due to psychological reasons and will gradually recover later.

There are face-slapping scenes. The author is new to writing, and this is a cheesy, melodramatic story. If it makes you uncomfortable, please leave.
