Late Spring

【He Pursues His Wife + Both Leads Are Faithful + Rivals Compete for Her + The Powerful Bow Their Heads + Both Leads Have Someone They Once Loved】 Everyone said Shen Zhiman had married above her station. How could a concubine-born daughter like her be worthy of the Duke's heir? They also said that Xie Hengqing, the heir, already had someone he loved, so even after marrying him, she would only have the title of his wife while acting like a mistress. Shen Zhiman only smiled when she heard this. She didn't take it to heart. If being refined and proper, and pretending not to hear or see, could earn her a life of fine clothes and good food, what was wrong with that bargain? When they first married, Xie Hengqing thought Shen Zhiman was mercenary, snobbish, and shameless. She was always smiling ingratiatingly, and now and then she'd tug at his sash and ask, “Husband, will you come to my room tonight?” She was always asking what he liked to eat and what he liked to do, then catering to his tastes. Don't think that would make him fall for her. He only thought divorce would be a hassle. If he had to spend his whole life with one woman, she wasn't a bad choice. It wasn't until one day that he suddenly realized she had never had him in her heart at all. It was just a coincidence that the young man she loved happened to share his taste in food. His eyes red, he asked hoarsely, “Why?” To his surprise, she suddenly laughed. Just like the first time they had met on their wedding night, her eyes crinkled with a smile, and the curve of her lips hadn't changed in the slightest. “Heir, we agreed this was an exchange of mutual benefits, with neither of us interfering in the other's affairs. Why did you take it seriously?”
