A Marriage of Convenience: Mr. Zhou, Don't Love Me Too Much

The first time Meng Shuyue met Zhou Jinchuan, he laid down three rules with a cold expression. 【No falling in love after we’re married.】 【We don’t interfere in each other’s whereabouts.】 Meng Shuyue agreed without hesitation. This was just a marriage of convenience. She was so busy with work she couldn’t be bothered to date, let alone warm up a heart of ice. There was only one thing: she couldn’t live on a vegetarian diet. "Mr. Zhou, let’s have a trial run before the wedding. If I’m satisfied, I’ll sign the contract." At thirty, Zhou Jinchuan could turn the business world on its head. He’d seen it all and assumed she was deliberately provoking him. So he agreed. Meng Shuyue was very satisfied with their trial run that night. The next day, she was all business. "Mr. Zhou, the trial’s over. We can sign the contract now." Zhou Jinchuan said, "Don’t rush. I still need to evaluate you." Meng Shuyue hadn’t expected his idea of an "evaluation" to be another trial run. After they married, they barely saw each other during the day, and exchanged only a couple of words at night. She never asked where he went, and he never questioned what time she came home. Outsiders praised Zhou Jinchuan for marrying such a good wife: independent and sensible, never prying into his whereabouts. Zhou Jinchuan only smiled coolly. "That’s right." Then one day, Meng Shuyue got fully made up to go out. Zhou Jinchuan suddenly asked, "Honey, where are you going?" Meng Shuyue gave a soft laugh. "Mr. Zhou, don’t forget our agreement." Zhou Jinchuan looked at her for a moment, then said slowly: "Miss Meng, I’m the one who made those rules. I regret them now."
