Not Married

Ye Heng nodded. "Back then, I didn't trust her. I also knew that getting a marriage certificate was very troublesome, so I kept delaying it. Later, I told her that as the young master of the Ye family, I could get the staff to settle it in our house, so I hired a few actors to act and applied for a fake certificate."

He paused for a moment and continued, "At that time, she was certain that I loved her to death, so she didn't cling to this point. After so many years, her heart was always with the mastermind. She didn't find any flaws and I hid it just like that."

Both of them were unmarried and were not protected by the law.

There is also no legal need to divide property.

Ye Chang was still not at ease. He frowned and asked, "Dad, did you have a wedding with her? If you did, the two of you would constitute a de facto marriage. The law would also require you to split some money with her."
