Chapter 1

Before marrying Huo Yanchuan, I already knew he was infertile.

When he was eighteen, he climbed a tree to retrieve a kite for his childhood friend Yu Tang.

He accidentally fell from the tree.

A stone on the ground happened to injure a critical part of his body.

It’s said his pants were soaked with blood at the time.

The news spread, and he was ridiculed for a long time.

Since then, Huo Yanchuan’s personality became cold and gloomy.

Yu Tang despised his physical defect and broke off the engagement with him.

My grandfather is an old Chinese medicine doctor who runs a family-owned traditional medicine clinic.

Old Master Huo is a VVIP at the clinic and has a deep friendship with my grandfather.

Seeing that Huo Yanchuan was already twenty-five and still unmarried,

Old Master Huo used both persuasion and pressure to force Huo Yanchuan to marry me.

The Huo Family has assets worth hundreds of billions, and Huo Yanchuan is their only son.

Although my family is also a family of Chinese medicine,

compared to the Huo Family, we are definitely marrying up.

Aside from our mismatched backgrounds…

the most important thing is, I am mute.

When the news spread that Huo Yanchuan had married a mute,

the entire circle of wealthy families was gossiping.

“Tsk tsk, even though the Huo Family heir has issues in that regard, with such a vast fortune, what kind of woman couldn’t he marry? Yet he married a mute from an ordinary family.”

“I heard Huo Yanchuan kept a cold face throughout the wedding. Clearly, he wasn’t happy with the marriage Old Master Huo arranged for him.”

“The little mute may have married into a wealthy family, but being a rich wife isn’t so easy.”
