When she woke up, they had already arrived at home.
Yena had been placed on the couch by Ethan Zhao. She curiously looked around the house. This house probably consisted of three bedrooms, a living room, and a dining room. It was decorated in a minimalist, yet obviously non-plain fashion, giving off a feeling of stylishness. The only thing that was strange was that this black and white color scheme didn't really fit in with newlyweds. Looking around, it didn't seem that this house was a married person's home.
This guy was the President of a large company. How could he only own a single house? This probably was a temporary hideout. Yena thought, but then dispelled her suspicions.
However, at the thought of being legally wed to Ethan Zhao and that he'd have to give her half in a divorce no matter how rich he really was, Yena's spirits couldn't help but lift.
"An… um, that… Ethan. I'd like to take a look at our house!" Without waiting for Ethan Zhao to respond, she scurried about the house in her wheelchair.
Ethan Zhao didn't stop her. He only sat on the couch quietly bringing his breathing back under control.
As expected, Ethan Zhao's bedroom was just like the man himself—expressionless black, white, and gray. Yena clicked her tongue and shook her head. Just as she was about to leave the room, her gaze swept across the huge bed that could fit five or six of herself. She suddenly remembered that she was Ethan Zhao's wife. That is to say, tonight and every night afterward, she'd have to sleep with Ethan Zhao on this huge bed?!
The Heavens. Thunder. On and on.
Yena never dreamed of having a romantic relationship with anyone again. It sickens her just having that thought. And to think she's going to share a bed with someone that looks like that person!
However, the two of them were a legally registered married couple. Even if Ethan Zhao wanted to do something to her, Mr. Policeman wouldn't be able to help her! What am I going to do!? What am I going to do!? What am I going to do!? …Right! My leg!
Yena lowered her head to look at her white, thickly bandaged leg and suddenly felt that it was incomparably adorable.
I'll just say that because of my injured leg, we shouldn't share a room. Problem solved!
Yena was about to turned and go bargain with Ethan Zhao when she heard Ethan Zhao's voice coming from behind. "Come here. I have something I need to say to you."
Yena nodded: "Coincidentally, I also had something to say to you."
Ethan Zhao froze: "You first."
Yena said, "I wanted to say that my leg is still injured so why don't we sleep in separate rooms for now?"
A small amount of surprise flashed past Ethan Zhao's eyes. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a grumbling sound.
Then he heard Yena say, "The second thing I wanted to say is that I'm hungry. So isn't it time for you to cook, hubby?"
Ethan Zhao was clearly stunned.
Yena raised her leg. "Look, I've got a lame leg." I mean, I'm already like this. Do you have the nerve to bully a disabled person?
Ethan Zhao didn't say anything and stood up. Yena was contentedly waiting for him to obediently enter the kitchen to cook for her, but she could never imagine that Ethan Zhao would stand up and pull out his phone.
"Is this Jb Restaurant?"
This guy is actually ordering takeout! This is out and out cheating! Yena was extremely displeased and glared angrily at Ethan Zhao's back.
Ethan Zhao turned and said to her, "It'll be here in thirty minutes."
Yena could only let out a disagreeable grumble.
Ethan Zhao sat down and calmly looked over at her.
Yena's hair rose at his gaze. "You! What are you looking at me for?"
Ethan Zhao stared at her. "You really can't remember anything?"
Yena became even more nervous and obediently nodded her head. "I totally can't remember a thing."
Ethan Zhao was silent for a moment then suddenly said, "Actually, we're in a contract marriage."
"Huh?" Yena eyes widened into a circle. Contract marriage? What kind of thing is that?
Ethan Zhao calmly said, "So we're not truly man and wife. I have already agreed with you to get divorced after a year."
"Ah?" Yena opened her mouth wide, stunned. She felt so shocked by the strange circumstances coming out of nowhere that she was unable to come to herself.
After being in a daze for a long while, Yena blinked. "Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! You mean you… we actually don't have any type of relationship!?"
Ethan Zhao said, "According to the law, we are a married couple. Also, we agreed at the time that we must act deeply in love in front of others"
Yena's expression became even more confused. "You mean to say that even though we have registered our marriage, it's really a fake marriage. In a year, we'll divorce, but in front of others, we can't reveal the truth yet so we have to pretend to love each other deeply every day?
Ethan Zhao was very succinct. "Right."
Aiyo! This is clearly a plot commonly seen in melodramatic TV dramas. This plot is a bit too amazing! Yena was stunned by this melodramatic plot twist! She confusedly said, "Why?"
Ethan Zhao arched a brow.
Yena said, "I'm just saying, why would the two of you… us, even get married?" This Su Yena also had a great face and body; she wasn't the type that needed to worry about not being able to get married. Both of them were high-class people. Why did they have this completely fake marriage, instead of properly getting married?
Ethan Zhao looked at her. "Because you need money."
Yena's eyes widened even more. "Money?"!
Ethan Zhao said, "Your mother contracted uremia and needed a high treatment fee."
"So you helped my mother pay the high treatment fee. Then, I agreed to a fake marriage where we pretend to love each other deeply?" Yena felt it was a little tragic.
Ethan Zhao nodded.
…! This is really an extremely melodramatic life! Yena raged in her mind. Then, she asked Ethan Zhao, "What about you? Why do you want a fake marriage?"
Ethan Zhao gave him a rational answer, "You don't need to know."
凸! Yena Was extremely angry ass he secretly stuck up her middle finger inside her head and viciously thought, ' Just because you won't tell me doesn't mean I can't guess it?! What's the only reason for a tall, rich, and handsome man swarmed all over by girls not to properly get married and in contrast use his money to fake-marry a girl who needs his money? It could only be–'An. Unmentionable. Disease!' And what's the most likely unmentionable disease? It must be — 'Im… potence!'
Ethan Zhao who was silently labeled impotent by Yena calmly said, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Yena looked at his expressionless face and silently added another possibility. Actually, it might not be impotence. After all, there's another possibility. That is, Ethan Zhao is 'G. A. Y!'
Ethan Zhao stared at the confused-faced Yena whose thoughts were becoming more and more off. "Do you have any questions?"
Yena suddenly came back to herself. "I do!"
Ethan Zhao used his gaze to motion for her to continue.
Yena said seriously, "Say, under our circumstances, when we get divorced, will you still give me half your assets?"
Ethan Zhao, "..."
