No Appointment When Due

They were married by contract for two years and broke up at the end of the period, with no debt to each other. Wen Wan is the best tool of the Wen family, and Pei Chu is the last poor young master of the Pei family. Everyone gets what they need, a clear contract. She thought he was just a meek and forbearing marriage partner. Until I saw the encrypted folder on the computer in the study late at night—— 041127, the internal code name of her father's annexation of the Pei family company ten years ago. Pei Chu knew she saw it. Wen Wan knew he was checking. Both of them knew it, and neither one spoke first. He made porridge for her, gave her stomach medicine, and wrote "not bitter" on the note. She set the door lock code to the date they signed the contract. It's obviously an act, but why does it seem more real the more you act? On the day the contract expired, he asked her: "Do you want to keep the contract?" She looked at him and didn't answer. ——No more appointments. No more contracts. But I still want you.
