Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

She didn't say anything, and neither did he. They looked at each other for a while, then lay side by side on the bed.

"What are you thinking? Idiot—"

"I—I feel very strange here, everything is very strange."

"Silly girl, this is our home." He squeezed her hand. "Actually... after I lost my memory, I watched the DVD of our wedding and realized we didn't say any vows on the day—I guess we were both reluctant back then. But I think if I get the chance, I should kneel down and say the vows with you again."

Although he couldn't remember the oath-taking part, he could infer that the forced family marriage model must have been rejected by the parties involved.

But Sheng Yang also felt fortunate, because there was no doubt that he loved his wife.

And I like it more and more.

Xiang Ran turned her head: "Sheng Yang, do you like me——"

"like."

"what do you like about me?"

"I like everything!"

So fake.

So empty.

Xiang Ran wanted to ask him more details.

For example, does he like her identity as the eldest daughter of the Su family?

Do you like the appearance similar to Su Yiqing?

Or something else.

-

Xiang Ran tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

This was a life she had never imagined.

In just one night, her mood was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs.

He took her with him, guided her, and opened up a whole new and exciting world.

But she felt it was so unreal.

So she put her hand on the man's chest to feel his heartbeat and confirm that he was a living person.

He had just said to her—"This is our home."

No one had ever spoken to her in such a tone.

-

In the first twenty years of her life, Xiang Ran rarely felt peace and joy.

Some families are in chaos, some are in poverty, some are filled with slander and quarrels, but there is no "love".

At first she thought her parents favored boys over girls, a common situation in the village.

It was not until a few days before her graduation from college that her family asked her for money and she did not answer the phone, and then her father scolded her for being an ungrateful adopted child.

That’s right, that was the day she found out she was adopted.

Therefore, she is the ungrateful person in the eyes of her adoptive father, and the life-saving straw in the hands of her adoptive mother.

She sympathized with her adoptive mother, but at the same time she was dragged into the quagmire by her.

Compared to her adoptive father, her adoptive mother's attitude towards her is relatively gentle, but the prerequisite is that Xiang Ran must support and help her younger brother and must listen to the adults' complaints.

But contradictory, the adoptive mother asked Xiang Ran not to criticize the adoptive father, otherwise it would be unfilial.

The adoptive mother would rather be bullied by the adoptive father, but still would not allow Xiang Ran to resist the adoptive father.

So, after finding a job, Xiang Ran took the advice of her high school class teacher, Mr. Ge, and stopped contacting her family.

She even went all out and blocked the phone numbers of her adoptive parents and younger brother.

She wants to get out of the quagmire and doesn't want to look back.

She is worldly, she is bold, she takes risks on this path, and she is willing to walk on the edge of a knife, all because she has nothing of her own.

Because she has nothing, she is not afraid of losing.

But now, this man is giving her——

This made Xiang Ran very panicked.

A person who has always been poor will feel like a thief when he suddenly has love.

What's more, she is just Su Yiqing's substitute and doesn't even have the qualifications to deceive herself.

-

For her, being "Mrs. Sheng" has a time limit.

She held the list of his assets and the bank card that received his family fund's monthly payments, and she had maintained her hands, which had been rough from doing housework, until they were as white and smooth as jade.

She pretended to be the well-educated eldest daughter of the Su family, and listened to music and appreciated paintings with him, and slept in the same bed with him.

To be honest, sometimes she really felt a little sympathy for the man next to her.

Now all his true feelings can only be wasted.

He actually deserves a real rich lady, a man who loves her wholeheartedly.

It’s not Su Yiqing, she doesn’t deserve it.

Of course, she herself was even less worthy.

In the darkness, Xiang Ran gently poked Sheng Yang's cheek with her finger and silently said to herself, "Sheng Yang, I don't need your love. Please save your love for someone who deserves it in the future. I came here to make money. However, I can also promise you that every day I am by your side, I will try my best to treat you well and do my best to be worthy of every penny you spend on me."

The silent recitation ends.

She thought again - okay, I admit, I actually like you a little bit.

But, just a little bit.

Xiang Ran gestured with her hands.

I felt that the distance between the two fingers was too large, so I reduced it a little.
