Su Jin was the adopted daughter of the Su family. In the golden years of her youth, she fell in love with Mubai.
At first, he promised, “Once you graduate from college, 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 that had long since died.
Jin Hengyuan, the Nth man she was set up with, had a handsome, stern face.
At their first meeting, she tried to scare him off. “If you think we’re a good match, let’s get our marriage license tomorrow!”
He smiled faintly. “I’m going on a business trip tomorrow. If you want to get the license, we can go this afternoon!”
That afternoon, she became his wife.
She was a quiet woman who neither argued nor made a fuss.
No house? She said it was fine.
Eating out? She said they should split the bill.
Going to bed? She said they should sleep separately.
When a woman flirted with him, she ignored it and walked away.
When his daughter clung to him, she frowned and calmly endured it.
They had a secret marriage, and no one knew they were husband and wife. She didn’t care.
When she was set up and taken to the police station, he came to get her. At last, he couldn’t hold back and scolded her outright:
“Do you always have to be this stubborn? When something happens, you don’t even know to call me. Do you think I’m dead?”
She retorted indignantly:
“Jin Hengyuan, have you ever treated me like your wife? If you had, why would you insist on keeping our marriage secret?”
His anger turned to laughter. Good. At last, she was angry.
This romance was finally no longer a one-man show.
A little scene:
“Jin Hengyuan, I want a divorce!”
“Why?”
“You lied to me!”
“How did I lie to you?”
“You’re a lawyer. Since when did you become a gofer?”
“Isn’t a lawyer supposed to run errands for clients? I take all kinds of odd cases, so doesn’t that make me a gofer?”
“...”
Oh, damn it. How did she end up marrying such a mean lawyer?
