Let Her Sink

[Marriage First, Love Later] [Older, Fatherly Type] [Sweet Romance] [The Powerful One Bows His Head] [The Husband Chases His Wife to Win Her Back]

After her parents die unexpectedly, Xu Xingmian hides her longtime crush on Si Tingyu and agrees to a marriage of convenience with him to secure her inheritance.

Before the wedding, Si Tingyu coldly warns her, "Don't fall for me, and don't cross the line. We each get what we need."

"All right." Xu Xingmian agrees aloud, but still secretly longs for him.

Yet after three years as his wife in name only, no matter how hard she tries, she still can't reach his heart.

As their contract nears its end, news suddenly breaks that Si Tingyu has gone abroad to accompany his first love to a prenatal checkup.

Xu Xingmian is furious. She's his lawfully wedded wife, so after three years of marriage, how can she not even have held his hand?

So Xu Xingmian decides to go all the way and sleeps with him.

At the Civil Affairs Bureau, they are supposed to go their separate ways, but the man pulls out a pregnancy test report and begs her, "Can we not get divorced? I'll take care of you and the baby."

Xu Xingmian tosses out a receipt for an abortion, saying, "Mr. Si, there's no need anymore."

Si Tingyu pulls her tightly into his arms, his eyes reddening as he gently consoles her. "It's all right. You're still young. There will be a baby someday."

Xu Xingmian shoves him away. "Even if I have a baby, it won't be yours. Mr. Si, let go. I'm not interested in men like you anymore."

Si Tingyu gazes at her with dark eyes, every word full of devotion. "It's all right. Tell me what kind of man you like, and I'll change."
