Chapter 1

"I think we won't be a good match," Emma Walker looked at the stern-faced man in front of her, feeling quite nervous. She never expected that an elite executive, clearly someone from the upper echelons, would participate in a blind date.Emma did not want to embarrass herself, so she decided to gracefully exit the situation. She was aware of the challenges her circumstances posed in the dating market—being twenty-six with a four-year-old child.Even if someone wanted to marry her, it would likely be someone with an average background, looking for a partner to share the burdens of life. Not someone like Landon Stirling—the sophisticated businessman was not someone who would be interested in her.She wanted to get married, but she was not unrealistic. She had self-awareness.Landon carefully observed Emma. He was quite satisfied with his prospective date, not because of her attractive appearance but because of her clear self-awareness.What he needed was a marriage. It did not matte

Emma carefully read through the agreement, ensuring there were no traps. The document stated the location and door number of the house Landon would gift her. That provided her with the assurance she needed before signing.Landon signed the agreement, pushed Emma's copy toward her, and neatly stored his own. "If everything is in order, we can head to the civil registry."Emma folded the agreement and placed it carefully into her bag. She replied, "I need to go home and get my documents."She had not anticipated getting a marriage registration right after a blind date, so she did not have the necessary documents. Landon stood up. "I'll drive you there.""No, it's okay." Emma declined, considering her situation at home. "Let's meet at the entrance of the civil registry later.""Sure," Landon agreed. He only sought a marriage and had no interest in prying into Emma's private matters.After leaving the cafe, Emma watched as Landon got into his car. She then turned and took the bus

Chapter 3

Emma gave up communicating with Barbara because communication was futile. "Fine, Mom, if you don't give me the household registration documents, I'll come back with Asher. I'll live off you, and everyone will know you have a shameless daughter and a grandson out of wedlock.""You..." Barbara was infuriated, trembling with rage. Through gritted teeth, she spoke, "You truly are a good daughter. I must have owed you in my past life, and now I'm repaying that debt!"While berating Emma, she went inside to fetch the household registration documents. "Back when you registered Asher, you admitted you were wrong,” Barbara said. "Now that you don't need us, you turn your back on family.“You're quite something!" Barbara said as she forcefully slammed the household registration documents on Emma. "There you go again! Just because we're your parents and treat you well, you act recklessly!"Emma crouched down to pick up the household registration documents that had fallen on the ground, trembl

"Mr. Landon, I apologize for keeping you waiting," Emma began, her voice hoarse from crying.Fortunately, Landon only gave her a look without saying anything. Emma appreciated his lack of questions. She could at least still preserve her dignity.The two entered the civil registry building to register, and the staff eyed her hesitantly. "Miss, are you sure you've considered this thoroughly?"Emma knew her swollen eyes caused the misunderstanding and shyly smiled, "I was just too excited."The staff chuckled knowingly. "That’s understandable."Landon glanced at her, satisfied with her ability to navigate awkward situations. His investigation was right. Emma was intelligent, adept at defusing awkwardness, with high emotional intelligence. He needed someone who understood such nuances.The marriage certificate was quickly processed. Landon entrusted everything to Emma and then drove her to update her household registration documents.Emma held the new household registration document

The call was terminated by the caller, but everything had unfolded as Landon expected. He scoffed, put away his phone, unlocked the door with his fingerprint, and entered the room."Why aren't you coming in?" Landon looked at Emma, who stood dazed at the entrance, with a puzzled expression. He smiled. "No need to be so formal. This will be your home from now on. In a year, this house will be yours. You might as well get familiar with it."Compared to his troublesome uncle's family, Landon found it particularly easy to interact with Emma. She was a simple person. Emma stiffly turned her head. "Mr. Landon, is this the house you're giving me?"Landon nodded and walked in. "Don't you like it? I think the location of this house is excellent. Convenient transportation downstairs, and there are also reputable elementary and middle schools nearby. It will be convenient for you to pick up and drop off Asher in the future."Emma swallowed awkwardly, "Mr. Landon, may I ask, what is the size o

Any more questions, and she would shame herself.Landon chuckled. "Don't you want to ask how I know about your account?"Emma was not surprised. "With your financial power, finding out anything is not difficult." Though she lacked wealth, she understood the power of capital. Landon belonged to the elite few who could effortlessly control people, making ants like her insignificant in his presence. For the next year, she just had to play her part dutifully.Emma's tact pleased Landon. "When necessary, I might take you to some events, but not many, rest assured. However, If there are such occasions, you'll need to play the role of..." Before Landon could finish, Emma supplied him with, "The wife who is deeply in love with you?"She had to show that she had some usefulness. Otherwise, she would need to be more competent for the compensation she received this year. Landon smiled in satisfaction. "I enjoy dealing with intelligent people."Emma secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Was h

Emma took the access card, rode the elevator down, and handed her household registry to a courier waiting by the roadside. Feeling relaxed, Emma then took a bus back to her rental house."Mommy!"As soon as Emma opened the door, she was embraced by a soft and cute little bundle. The tender little face rubbed against her legs like a little kitten. It melted Emma's heart."Ash!" Emma crouched down and planted a kiss on Asher's milky-smooth cheek. "Missed mommy?""Miss you," Asher echoed with round, gleaming eyes. He giggled at his little joke."I miss my little Ash too." Emma carried the little one into the house. "Let me tell you, we're moving to a new place."The squishy little fellow nestled in her arms blinked his big watery eyes and attentively listened to her talk about their new house.Emma told Asher that they were going to move to a new place and start a new life in words that the little boy could understand.After mother and son reached a consensus, Emma began to pack things, a

Chapter 8

Landon’s tone completely unsettled Calvin. "Are you in a fake marriage?""It's just a contractual marriage. We each get what we need, fair and reasonable," Landon said matter-of-factly.Calvin was infuriated. "Your grandfather waited for you to get married not for the sake of your marriage..."Calvin's words trailed off midway. He could not continue. Anyone looking at Landon's smile devoid of amusement would not be able to say much either. For Landon, marriage was nothing more than a transaction. In Landon's current world, there was no such thing as ‘feelings’."The person you've chosen to marry must be outstanding, right?" Calvin probed, half amused. "Maybe in a year, you'll turn this into a real relationship."Landon chuckled, "You can hope for the sun to rise from the west."Falling in love with Emma? He acknowledged that Emma was a practical woman, a good business partner, but... love? What was that? He would never entertain such foolish emotions in his lifetime.Emma had no

His chubby little hands diligently folded the clothes. It was slow, but compared to the previous one, it was much better. After folding the clothes, his big eyes were filled with hope as he looked at his mommy. His small mouth was slightly open."Ash is amazing! You’re getting better and better at folding. Let's continue to work hard together, okay?" Emma indulgently touched her son's fluffy little head.When the expected praise came, Asher smiled happily. "Okay!"Emma looked at her joyful son, a soft tenderness lingering in her eyes. She would not let Asher go through the painful childhood she had experienced. She wanted Asher to be happy and become a confident, optimistic person.Landon was a reasonable person. He would probably not bring any negative emotions into their lives. More importantly, he was a successful person, and for the year, her son could learn a thing or two from him. That was the most valuable aspect of their collaboration.When she first moved out, she did not

He rang the doorbell, and Emma quickly opened the door, "Mr. Landon, you're here so early. Have you eaten yet? I've prepared breakfast.""I've already eaten," Landon replied. "We can start moving now.""Okay, " Emma responded quickly and went inside. "I'll tidy up here."Everything else was already packed. They just needed to gather the things they used in the morning, and then they could move."Ash, this is Mr. Landon," Emma turned around, smiling as she introduced Landon to her son. "Mr. Landon is amazing. You should learn from him when you can."Asher looked up curiously.Landon had never seen such a pure and direct gaze before. Other children he had encountered were either too rowdy or too timid to meet his eyes. A child who dared to look directly into his eyes like this was something he had never experienced."Mr. Landon, this is my son, Asher, or Ash for short. He's four years old. He's an extremely cute, hardworking, and polite little boy," Emma introduced her son solemnly, surp
