Chapter: 2974

Ye Changmin has always tried her best to make the old man happy. Since he didn’t want to get divorced, she decided not to bring it up again. But after their relationship fell apart, Ye Changmin moved away from her husband. Now, they barely see each other and feel like strangers, even though they are still legally married.

Ye Changmin and Zhong Zhengtao were once old classmates, and they didn’t have any inappropriate relationship at first. However, during a class reunion a few years ago, Ye Changmin had a bit too much to drink. She ended up sharing her feelings about her troubled marriage and how her father wouldn’t let her divorce. Zhong Zhengtao, who was widowed by then, took notice.

Zhong Zhengtao has always been known for his taste in women. Even though Ye Changmin still has her charm, she can’t compete with younger women in their teens and twenties. Now in his fifties, Zhong Zhengtao typically wouldn’t look at anyone over 25. But Ye Changmin’s situation is different.

She is the eldest daughter of the Ye family, and her future inheritance and connections give her a significant position. Because of this, after the class reunion, Zhong Zhengtao started paying a lot of attention to her. While Ye Changmin may be getting older, she is still a woman, and as they say, a man can be young at heart no matter his age.

Zhong Zhengtao has a charming personality and a kind heart. He is the head of the Zhong family, which is strong and influential, especially compared to Ye Changmin’s previous in-laws. This made him a good match for Ye Changmin.

As Zhong Zhengtao pursued her with care and attention, Ye Changmin found herself falling for him, feeling a sense of joy she hadn’t experienced in a long time. They started to develop a secret relationship.

Zhong Zhengtao wanted Ye Changmin to feel loved again, and in return, she shared many resources with him. Ye Changmin genuinely cared for Zhong Zhengtao and hoped to be with him once she was divorced. Although Zhong Zhengtao didn’t have deep feelings for her, he recognized her value and wanted to marry her because of her status.

The main reason they felt free to act on their feelings was that Ye Changmin’s grandfather was against her getting a divorce. Ye Changmin had her own plan in mind. She thought, since her grandfather likely didn’t have many years left, it was better to stay married for the time being. They could keep their relationship private and enjoy each other’s company without worrying about public opinion.

By not rushing into marriage, Ye Changmin could still please her grandfather, which might increase her chances of inheriting his wealth. Perhaps if her grandfather was happy, he would leave her even more when he passed away.

After receiving the inheritance, if he divorced his first spouse and married Zhong Zhengtao openly, wouldn’t he then have a perfect life ahead of him?
