Have You Forgotten That You're Married?

"Miss Shen, have you forgotten that you got married last week?"

Gu Jinwei's voice was soft, like a drop of water merging into a river in this bustling bar, without causing any ripples.

But Shen Yunchu felt as if thunder had struck her head, and she jumped up in a panic from the sofa. She looked at the man in front of her, who seemed both familiar and distant, and the string she had deliberately severed in her mind slowly reconnected.

"No wonder you looked so familiar!"

Indeed, it was last Friday when she got married!

Shen Yunchu truly wanted to forget the fact that she got married, as that wedding was a big joke in her 23-year-old life.

The union of the two wealthiest and most influential families in Hua Country had caused a nationwide sensation.

However, no one expected that the groom would run away on the wedding day!

Yes, he ran away because there was an emergency in the M Country and he had to be there in person. So, without hesitation, he left.

At this point, the wedding should have been canceled, right?

Shen Yunchu couldn't believe it. Not only was the wedding not canceled, but it also proceeded on time.

The groom appeared on the screen, while the bride was off-screen, and the crowd joyfully congratulated them on their wedding.

Uninformed people might have thought it was a funeral, with a bunch of people toasting and giving speeches to the photos on the screen.

Shen Yunchu almost walked away, but under the coercion and temptation of her family, she had to endure it.

After all, one of the conditions she agreed to for the marriage was that no one could interfere with her work and she could continue to stay in the entertainment industry.

Although Shen Yunchu was still a low-level actress at the moment, she believed that with her superb acting skills, she would conquer global awards.

Getting married? It was just a matter of finding a different place to sleep, right?

She agreed to it. And it was just that she hadn't seen her husband since they got married.

She endured it.

And now? The husband who had disappeared for a whole week suddenly appeared in front of her, having personally experienced her so-called mature seduction techniques.

Gu Jinwei, with an expressionless face, pulled his newlywed wife, who had been cheated on him already, back to their so-called new home.

"Let me go, let me go!" Shen Yunchu winced in pain as he pulled her.

Unable to bear it any longer, she pushed the man away. If it weren't for the fact that he still looked decent, she would have slapped him on the face.

She didn't intentionally forget the fact that she got married.

"Should I address you as Mrs. Gu or Miss Shen now?"

Gu Jinwei walked to the refrigerator, poured a glass of cold water, and gulped it down.

He had been busy abroad for seven days without a break, and as soon as he finished his work, he immediately returned to meet his unknown wife.

However, she seemed completely unaware of her husband and their new home, happily enjoying herself in the bar and even flirting with him.

Very well, she truly lived up to being the precious daughter of the Shen family, impressing him with her excellence.

Cough... Shen Yunchu covered her mouth and coughed. "I'm not used to living here. I'll go home first."

"Your mother packed all your luggage and brought it here this morning."

Gu Jinwei pointed upstairs. "It's in our new room. You can check if anything is missing or not."

"No, let's calm down first. I think you're being irrational right now."

"Hmm, and then?"

"Mr. Gu, our marriage is only on the contrast. You should know that I'm a public figure, a rising star just starting. I can't expose my marriage to the public."

"So what?"

Shen Yunchu knew he understood, but he insisted on making her say it.

Shen Yunchu was not subtle and spoke frankly, "Our relationship, at most, can only be considered two strangers whose name got printed on the same piece of paper called the marriage certificate. So, in the future, you go your way, and I'll go mine. No interference, understood?"

Gu Jinwei put down his glass of water and chuckled softly. Shen Yunchu's heart pounded like a drum.

Why was he smiling like that? It seemed so sinister as if her words were just child's talk or nonsense in his eyes.

"Miss Shen, I respect your profession, but please also show some respect to me. We are husband and wife now. I don't like my wife treating me like someone casual, whom she flirts with on a random evening without taking responsibility."

"..."

"I won't disturb your work, but my father expects us to have two children in three years."

"..."

"Of course, I don't like forcing anyone, but if we live apart, I won't be able to convince him that we're working on it. The difference between 'not trying' and 'trying but unfortunately fail' is quite obvious. Do you understand, Miss Shen?"

"..."

"We can stay out of each other's way, but in the eyes of our families, we are a normal couple. Do you understand?"

Even if Shen Yunchu was foolish, she understood his implied meaning. This meant they were a fake couple.

"I won't fall in love with you. In my eyes, there's only my career. Marrying you is merely for further cooperation with the Shen family, so, rest assured, there is no feeling between us, only utility, and that's it."

"..."

"All right, Mrs. Gu, you've drunk too much. It's time to go upstairs and rest. Your room is the second one on the left on the second floor. Don't go to the wrong one, or else I'll assume you're willing to fulfill our agreement of having two children with me in three years."

Shen Yunchu rushed upstairs without looking back, slammed the door shut with a "bang" and, to be extra cautious, made sure that she locked the door.

Gu Jinwei was still in the living room. Hearing the noise of "clattering" from upstairs, the smile on his face slowly faded away.

As he had just said, the Gu-Shen alliance was not a problem for him.

However, his wife seemed to be different from the rumors.

They said Miss Shen from the Shen family was obedient, sensible, gentle, and modest. It seemed like it was all an illusion.

Shen Yunchu collapsed exhausted on the bed, feeling completely drained.

Ding! A message popped up:

Qin Yuan: Are you still alive?

Shen Yunchu: Remember to burn joss paper for me on this day next year. I've never been poor in my life, and I don't want to struggle in the afterlife.

Qin Yuan: Is it inconvenient for me to disturb you on your wedding night?

Shen Yunchu: It's fine. You're right on time. After all, Mr. Gu seems to be in poor health and couldn't last long.

Qin Yuan: ...

Qin Yuan: Rest early, don't exhaust yourself. In a couple of days, you will start filming, and I am certain that you will be crowned as the Best Newcomer next year.
