Perfect Pampered Marriage: Good Morning, Hubby

How Did He Suddenly Get Married Without A Word!

Li Shengxia remained where she stood and made no attempt to follow after. She was well aware of the status of their relationship, there was no affection nor was there any love. It was merely a mutual agreement between the two.

At the present moment, while he was walking away from her, he was making a call with his phone.

She looked on as his unruly figure slowly disappeared into the distance.

Under the light of the shadow, it seemed as if the shadow of the teenager from five years ago overlapped with his shadow, creating a mark left by the passages of time.

There was a time when he was the person she was closest to in the entire world, but when she was ready to give him her whole-hearted dedication, he went and crushed it.

Back in the present day, the two of them got a marriage certificate out of their agreement. They shared the most intimate relationship that existed in the world, the relationship of husband and wife. It might have seemed and sounded intimate, but it could not be any farther from the truth.

He was still as prideful as he had always been, so very dazzling in the sight of others. She was always going to be playing second fiddle to him.

He always had to call the shots no matter what.

She felt her mind become a tangled mess when she looked at him. She never mentioned anything about the past to him, as if it was something to be left behind in the cracks of time, never to be seen again…

However, the pain and hurt it caused her heart was still clear as day. Though she could face him like there was nothing wrong, she could not help but still feel a tinge of affection when she looked at him.

She had not forgotten… He viciously tore apart her childhood like the devil he was. She also had not forgotten how he crushed her genuine feelings without a care in the world…

Whether it was five years ago or five years after the matter, she did not dare to trifle with him anymore.

Suddenly, the distinct buzz of a phone ringing interrupted her stream of thoughts. She snapped back to attention and realized it was her phone ringing. “Hello? Come again? A lot of people are willing to work together with our company? Ok, I got it, I’ll be on my way back.”

She looked at the figure that had vanished into the crowd, both her hands gripped her phone subconsciously.

After a moment, the phone rang again.

“Hello? Dad was transferred? He has professionals monitoring him, ok, got it, thanks.”

Receiving two calls in a row, Li Shengxia’s expression appeared a little dazed.

Since Mo Nianchen had vowed to help her, that meant that she was going to have to get accustomed to this sort of life from here on. If she managed to incur his wrath, then everything would snap back to the way it was.

She could not understand him!

Was it so fun to toy around with her? Even after all these tireless years he still was not done.

He used to detest her so much, even going as far as completely dismissing her confession letter! If he still hated her so much, why bother keeping her by his side? Since he was keeping her by his side, why did he not even bother showing even an ounce of pity!?

Forget it. This is what he had always been, the ever so unpredictable devil. Li Shengxia gave up on trying to figure out the inner machinations of his mind. She did not want to repeat the same mistakes she made five years ago; she did not intend to be stomped over mercilessly again.

She kept the marriage certificate in her bag and took a ride back—

Inheritance bar, royal box.

Mo Nianchen sat beside the young masters of the Emperor Heritage Group board of directors, drinking bottles of beer!

At first, he was flipping the red booklet, chuckling when he saw the names written side by side. After that, he began drinking one bottle of beer after another.

He had finally succeeded, her name was at last written on his marriage certificate, but what was the point?

She did not even have his number saved! She probably had his number deleted five whole years ago, while he had a useless number saved for all these years!

Mo Nianchen located the contact labeled ‘Xia Xia’ in his phone, and kept trying to call it—

The number you have dialed is no longer in service, please try again later.

The number you have dialed is no longer in service, please try again later.

The number you have dialed is no longer in service, please try again later.

There had been countless nights where he succumbed to the urge to call the number, but the voice on the other end was always the same.

Like fine sand abandoned in a bottomless pit, his act had no sense of existence, no usefulness whatsoever, and would never be remembered by anyone.

It turned out that his phone number was long gone from her phone’s address book!

She had already long left the past behind her!

He just could not understand it.

Years back, he desperately went all the way to the airport to beg her to stay. He never expected it to result in a heartless rejection! She barely even gave him a chance, and just like that, she left his world.

He was like a fool and had never recovered from the cruel joke ever since!

All that talk about him being the master puppeteer ruining her childhood. She was the one who deserved the title of a devil, the one who delivered the actual final blow and vanished from his life!

Why would he even like her? Why did he even care for her? What was he holding out for? Why was it that he could not recover from her sudden disappearance and continued waiting for her? Did she think that he only waited for a week? He waited for her for five whole years!

What even drove him to wait for her? He clearly knew it was a cruel prank, but he still held out believing!

What did she even do with all those years?

Falling in love with others!

Running away with others!

She even got close to getting married to someone else!

Even when he presented himself, she told him he got the wrong person!

If she could accept any old person in the world, then why not him?

Why, specifically, not him?

He was the one closest to her, but why did she not choose him?

The men drinking with Mo Nianchen were all his childhood friends.

“What’s wrong with Ah Chen today, he’s drinking so much!” the one who spoke was Cheng Zheng as he mindfully took away the bottles of beer, Mo Nianchen in his drunken daze, continued looking for more.

Ouyang began to speak as well, “I heard it’s because Shengxia came back.” his eyes were like beautiful peach flowers. The way he spoke was not too fast nor too slow, every word uttered gave off an intoxicating charm.

“Shengxia? Li Shengxia?” Ling Tian frowned slightly in disbelief.

Ouyang remarked candidly, “Ever since we were kids, she was the only one who could torment Ah Chen like this.”

Ling Tian twitched the corner of his lips meekly. “Ah Chen spent all these years chasing after that girl and look where he is now.”

“That’s where you’re wrong, I heard they’ve registered and married already,” Ouyang said, flicking his eyebrow.

Kang Youxi nearly fell out of his seat. “Married!? Is he crazy? How did he suddenly get married without a word! I remember way back when he heard she was going to study overseas, he did everything he could to get her to stay but ended up getting cruelly rejected by her. How did they suddenly get married?”

Cheng Zheng sat back on the sofa and squeezed himself between several people, “You don’t think that Ah Chen’s marriage partner is going to be like that girl back then? I heard there was a girl he liked a lot, he practically stuck to her like a shadow and tried to oppose her every chance he got just so he could make his presence known.”

“In the end, Ah Chen’s parents came back and wanted him to go overseas. It just so happened that on that day he received a confession letter, I heard it was written to him from Shengxia. He ended up turning down his parents all because of that letter, and chose to stay…”

“And then?”
