Diaries of Mr. Han’s Sweet Marriage

Gao Xiaoxiao, a secretary and single mom, struggles to support herself and her young son. When her rakishly handsome boss, Han Zhen, offers her a proposal she can’t refuse, she agrees to enter into a marriage contract with him. For him, it is simply to fend off pressures from his prominent family to settle down while keeping up his playboy lifestyle. Forced to live together, the two soon learn that perhaps there is more than just a bogus marriage between them. The enigmatic Han Zhen is generous and affectionate one minute, cold and aloof the next. Unaware of her own growing feelings for him, Xiaoxiao resists his flirtatious overtures as she navigates their strange marriage. Meanwhile, pressures—from emotional blackmail to direct ultimatums—are mounting from the Han family for the couple to produce an heir. Her own son is growing up fast and asking questions about the father he has never met. Her step-sister threatens to turn her world upside down by exposing her dark secret. A lover from the past shows up unexpectedly. How will Xiaoxiao salvage the situation? Is divorce the only way to get out of the mess she finds herself in?

Han Zhen excused himself from the doctor and walked to the bed.

As Old Madam Han held Gao Xiaoxiao's hand, she took Han Zhen's hand and placed their hands together. She smiled weakly and said, "My biggest wish is to see you two give birth to a fat baby and let the Han family have a descendant. That way, I can die without regrets…"

"Grandma, don't say that…" Gao Xiaoxiao felt a lump in her throat as tears flowed down her face. The scene before her reminded her of her grandma's passing five years ago. Back then, she was also lying on the bed like this, feeling helpless and afraid. But her grandma passed away eventually…

Han Zhen frowned and looked at Old Madam Han without saying anything.

Seeing how sad Gao Xiaoxiao was, Zhong Yuhong hurried over with a tissue box. "Xiaoxiao, don't cry, don't cry. Grandma will definitely recover…"

However, Gao Xiaoxiao could not control her emotions at all. Over the past three years, Old Madam Han had been good to her. In her heart, she had long treated Old Madam Han as her family.

At the thought that the usually healthy and lively old lady was lying here in pain and suffering… Gao Xiaoxiao cried even harder till her body shook.

Zhong Yuhong quickly nudged Han Zhen. "Ah Zhen, quickly, coax your wife."

Han Zhen raised his arm and pulled the crying woman into his arms. He caressed her delicate back and coaxed her softly, "Wife, be good and don't cry."

Gao Xiaoxiao did not know what to say.

At last Zhong Yuhong told Han Zhen to take Gao Xiaoxiao home on the pretext that Old Madam Han needed to rest after her surgery.

As soon as the door closed, Old Madam Han, who was lying down, sat up. "Aiyo, my old waist is getting sore from lying here for so long."

Zhong Yuhong sat down and rubbed her back. She grumbled, "Mom, look at you. You scared Xiaoxiao to tears…"

Old Madam Han sighed. "It's just that I don't have a choice. That little brat, Ah Zhen—if I don't force him, he won't take any action! He has a ready-made wife at home and yet he goes out to seduce women every day!"

Zhong Yuhong knew that the old lady was still brooding over the gossip article she had read at noon. She shook her head but did not stop rubbing her back.

After a while, Old Madam Han continued, "But look, I could tell that this girl, Xiaoxiao, really loves me, unlike Ah Zhen, who has a heart of stone and doesn't shed a single tear!"

Zhong Yuhong was speechless.

Han Zhen brought Gao Xiaoxiao back to Xiangxi Garden.

After what happened at the hospital, Gao Xiaoxiao was in no mood to talk about the divorce anymore. She went straight upstairs.

Han Zhen sat in the living room for a while before he suddenly thought of something. He took his car keys and left.

Behind the French window on the second floor, Gao Xiaoxiao watched the Bentley drive out of the villa. She picked up her bag and left in a hurry.

When she arrived at her apartment in Cuiyuan Estate, Xiaomao was cooking in the kitchen. When she saw her, she said, "Miss Gao, Xiaobai is in the bedroom. Let me help you call…"

"No." Gao Xiaoxiao stopped her and said softly, "I'll go find him myself."

She tiptoed to the small bedroom and pushed the door open. She saw Gao Xiaobai sitting on the floor looking at something. The moment he looked up and saw her, he hid the thing behind her…

Gao Xiaoxiao smiled and pounced on him. She grabbed his soft body with both hands and shouted, "Xiaobai, what are you looking at? Hurry up and let mom take a look at you. Hurry up…"

Gao Xiaobai was quiet.

When Gao Xiaoxiao snatched the thing from the little guy, she was dumbfounded.

This was one of the most shameless tabloids in City D. The headline for this week was Han Zhen: 'Rumors had it that Young Master Han had a secret rendezvous with the daughter of the Gu family in the night!
