The Perfect Secret Marriage

★★ Su Jin, the Su family's adopted daughter, fell in love with Mu Bai during the finest years of her youth.

At first, he promised, “When you graduate from university, we'll get married.”

Later, he married someone else.

After that, she busied herself with blind dates, trying to enter an ordinary marriage with a heart already dead.

Jin Hengyuan, her Nth blind-date prospect, had a stern, handsome face.

At their first meeting, she tried to scare him off: “If you think I'm suitable, let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow!”

He smiled faintly. “I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. If you want to do it, let's go this afternoon!”

That afternoon, she became his wife.

She was a quiet woman who neither fought nor argued nor made a fuss.

They had no house? She said it was fine.

When they ate, she insisted on splitting the bill.

When they slept, she said they should have separate beds.

When a woman clung to him, she turned a blind eye and walked away.

When a little girl stuck to him, she merely furrowed her brows and endured it calmly.

They kept their marriage hidden, and no one knew they were husband and wife. She did not care.

When she was framed and ended up at the police station, he came to bail her out. Finally unable to bear it any longer, he launched into her: “Do you have to be this stubborn? When something happens, you don't even know to call me. Do you take me for a dead man?”

She retorted indignantly, “Jin Hengyuan, have you ever treated me like your wife? If you have, then why did you choose to keep our marriage secret?”

His anger turned into a smile. Good. She finally knew how to get angry.

At last, this love was no longer a one-man show.

Little scene:

“Jin Hengyuan, I want a divorce!”

“Reason!”

“You lied to me!”

“How did I lie to you?”

“You're clearly a lawyer. When did you become a runner and general errand boy?”

“Don't lawyers run errands for their clients? I take all kinds of miscellaneous cases. Doesn't that make me an errand boy?”

“….”

Oh, damn it. How had she ended up marrying such a mean lawyer?
