contract marriage

Chapter 1 Marriage

"over?"

"over."

"It's really over?"

"It's really over."

The corner of Ralph's mouth twitched, he grabbed the cup and gulped it up, gulping it up. He was stunned for a few seconds, slowly digesting the sudden news - Tang Rui got married in a flash.

On Tang Rui's 28th birthday last year, Ralph held a beer bottle in one hand and patted Tang Rui's shoulder vigorously with the other, and said sincerely: Tang Rui, you really don't plan to get married in this life?Even if you don't get married, don't you even talk about love?

How did Tang Rui come back then?

After taking a puff of cigarette and a sip of wine, the man looked indifferent as if he could see through the world of mortals: love is not something that you can just buy a cabbage from the vegetable market, it is rare.

"I, I'm a little dizzy Tang Rui, do you know this feeling? It's like I just watched The Walking Dead last night, and suddenly the end came this morning, and the neighbors became zombies holding their heads and gnawing on each other." A glass of water relieved Ralph couldn't help feeling anxious, he grinned, took a cigarette out of his pocket and took a deep drag.

Tang Rui couldn't help laughing: "Why, my marriage is like the end of the world in your eyes?"

The smoke filled the air, and Tang Rui's handsome face was covered with an unreal blur. Ralph stared blankly at Tang Rui, who was married, and murmured as if someone had taken his soul out: "The end of the world!" Ah, Tang Rui, I used to really think that you wouldn't get married on the day the world ended."

"I don't know if the end of the world will happen. Without the marriage certificate with Sherland, I will have no tomorrow in London." Tang Rui put his and Sherland's marriage certificate in front of his friend Ralph. The newly released marriage certificate It has his and Sherland's autographs on it.

Just this morning, he rode his bicycle to the law firm, and without even seeing Sherland himself, he legally became a "legal couple" with this young man he had never met.

"Are you not afraid of escaping from the tiger's mouth and entering the wolf's den? Sherland and you have never met before, Tang Rui, have you ever thought about why he married you?" Gradually recovering from the shock of Tang Rui's flash marriage, Lal The more the husband thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Ralph and Tang Rui have known each other since they were in college, and they started a business together to open a restaurant and a banquet service company.At a wine tasting held by their company a few months ago, Victoria, the youngest daughter of the Brooke family, fell in love with Tang Rui at first sight, and Ralph was particularly active in matching the two.

What Ralph was thinking was that Tang Rui had been single since he graduated from university, Victoria was gentle, young and beautiful, and the Brooke family was even more powerful in London.

Tang Rui did date Victoria two or three times later, and the most intimate move was limited to a car passing by the side of the road, and he pulled Victoria behind him.It's not because of Victoria's background, Ralph advised him to try dating, stay together if it suits, separate if it doesn't suit, and won't lose a piece of meat.

Tang Rui tried it. He didn't lose a piece of meat, but he almost lost his life. No one could have imagined that the gentle and introverted Victoria would be so scary when he went crazy when they met for the first time.

Horrible and afraid of being in a daze, dazed for fear of dying, Victoria is not only desperate, but also crazy, and there is a father who dotes on his daughter without a bottom line.

If he hadn't been forced into a corner, Tang Rui would not have married a man he had never met.

Although Victoria was crazy, no matter how much her father, Old Brook, doted on his daughter, he wouldn't be able to compete with Sherland.

There are only two ways to get rid of Victoria, either to give up his career in London and leave England to start from scratch, or to have someone who is not afraid of offending Old Brooke and is more powerful than Old Brooke stand in his place.

Tang Rui was not reconciled to the former;

The latter, no one would offend old Brooke for an unrelated person until Sherland came along.

"Ralph, have you heard of Sherland?" Tang Rui asked.

Ralph nodded vigorously. Although he and Tang Rui started from scratch, most of their customers are middle- and upper-class people in society. They do not belong to the rich and powerful circle, and they probably know more gossip about this circle than tabloid reporters.

Ralph had never met Sherland himself, but he had heard a lot of gossip about Sherland.

Sherland's parents are in a transnational relationship. Her father is Chinese and her mother is American. Both families have backgrounds. It is said that this transnational relationship was greatly hindered by the two families. It can be said that the love of Sherland's parents is itself a relationship. A legendary story that people talk about.

But this is not the biggest reason why Sherland has become a hot topic among the rich ladies. The men the girls love are nothing more than these points, such as excellent appearance, extraordinary family background, humorous personality, gentlemanly and considerate behavior, and so on. A touch of dangerously sexy, mysterious background.

Sherland has all the above points.

"He is younger than me, handsomer than me, richer than me, and has a background than me." Although he didn't want to belittle himself, Tang Rui had to admit that as long as he was a normal person, he could see that he had benefited from his marriage with Sherland Tang Rui can even imagine that once the news of their marriage spreads, the sensation will probably be similar to the impact of the end of the world.

But it was impossible, and he and Sherland were not really married.

Just like Sherland didn't even show up when she signed the marriage today, Ralph's worries were completely unnecessary, and Tang Rui was not so narcissistic that she thought Shelande wanted to do anything to him. Apart from a marriage certificate, they signed another marriage certificate. Zhang made a prenuptial agreement to ensure that their "marital relationship" would be dissolved after one year.

Tang Rui would not tell anyone other than Ralph about his marriage to Sherland. If Sherland kept it a secret, perhaps no one would know that they were married until they divorced a year later.

Sherland's lawyer once assured Tang Rui that after the marriage agreement was reached, she would solve the troubles caused by Victoria for Tang Rui. At least from the present, Sherland did not lie to him.

The restaurant opened by Tang Rui and Ralph in London has been suppressed by Old Brook before. In order to force Tang Rui to compromise, the old thing who doted on his daughter kept making troubles. For a while, he suddenly interrupted the supply of ingredients, and for a while, he came to make trouble and slander them. He even personally called and threatened to make Tang Rui unable to get along in London without knowing what to do.

The food supplier personally came to apologize, and there have been no more tricky and mean customers recently. I heard that Victoria was sent to the United States by Old Brooke.

It looks like he's kept his career in London, but despite this, Tang Rui is packing his bags and heading back to China.

The most important thing in the contractual marriage with Sherland is that he needs to cooperate with Sherland to play the role of "husband and wife".

Nevertheless, what made Tang Rui determined to return to China was his consideration of his future career.

The contractual marriage between him and Sherland only lasted for one year. From the current point of view, Old Brook really has no guts to compete with Sherland. But what if Victoria still doesn't give up after he and Sherland dissolve their marriage a year later?Tang Rui thinks more about practical issues. London is the starting point of his career, but it will not be the end. As early as two years ago, Tang Rui had already considered returning to China for development. Now the growing sense of crisis has finally made him determined to return to China. Let's go for a walk.

Handing over the affairs of London to Ralph temporarily, Tang Rui packed his luggage and got on the plane from London to Haishi.

No matter how comfortable the first class cabin is, taking more than ten hours of continuous flight plus the impact of jet lag will make people feel exhausted. Before Tang Rui got off the plane and left the airport, he saw a black Maybach parked nearby.

More conspicuous than the world-limited Maybach worth tens of millions is the young man leaning against the door of the luxury car and holding a bouquet of fiery red roses in his hands.

Tang Rui, who runs restaurants and planning work, has come into contact with many wealthy businessmen, superstars and celebrities, and has also received a photo of Sherland himself from a lawyer appointed by Sherland. He knows that Sherland has a very good skin, but after meeting the real Sherland today Only then did I realize that the flat 2D photos at least lowered Sherland's charm by ten times.

Tang Rui didn't want to admit that when he saw Sherland from a distance, he was stunned for a moment. It seems that it is not accurate to describe Sherland in a good way. Now he can understand the source of the tireless enthusiasm for discussions about Sherland among the wealthy ladies in London.

Thanks to Tang Rui's indifferent personality since he was a child, he hid his surprise and amazement towards Sherland in his stomach. After pausing for a few seconds at the door of the plane, he slowly walked down the escalator with his luggage.With a calm face on his face, he couldn't help but think in his heart, with Sherland's appearance, even if he really did something during the contractual marriage, he would not lose money.

Well, maybe even earned it.

Ralph always complained about Tang Rui's frigidity, but as Tang Rui said, he wasn't frigid, it was just that he didn't meet anyone who made him sexually aroused.

At the same time as Tang Rui walked down the escalator, Sherland also walked over, her rosy thin lips slightly raised an arc, which was as dangerous as a thorn. It hurts like a prick.

Sherland's dark eyes rolled around Tang Rui's body, and he sized him up from head to toe calmly.The man's light and familiar charm was brought into full play on Tang Rui's body. The man who walked down the escalator had a long dark gray trench coat in one arm and a suitcase in the other.

The dark blue shirt lost its flatness during the long-distance flight, two buttons on the collar were undone, and the sleeves were rolled up to the wrist to reveal a section of white arm. It's like being rubbed by someone.

Tiredness crept up between his brows, but his eyes were still sober and firm.

The clothes and trousers are no longer smooth, and the pace is still steady and steady.

The smile at the corner of Sherland's mouth deepened, like a coquettish and beautiful piranha, the dangerous thorns retracted a little, and a charming and fragrant joy burst out.

It turns out that Li Dongming likes this one, it has a bit of taste.

"Welcome to Haishi," Sherland strode forward and stuffed the extremely gorgeous red rose into Tang Rui's arms, "My dear."
