After the Unloved Deaf Boy Married the Scum Gong’s Uncle

Sheng Yuan was deaf, born to his father from a fleeting, one-night affair with a mistress. The little deaf boy’s background was a taboo that everyone refused to speak of, and he was treated as a burden, abandoned time and time again. In the end, he was thrown to the Mu family to be used as a tool for a political marriage. Sheng Yuan first met Mu Xiaoduo at a certain banquet. He was not the protagonist of the banquet, yet he made everyone else look like mere foils. His usually arrogant fiancé lowered his head for once, walked up to Mu Xiaoduo, and respectfully addressed him as “Uncle.” Sheng Yuan was at a loss, and timidly followed along to call out the same.

That night, heavy rain poured over the city, accompanied by lightning and thunder. The little deaf boy had nowhere to go, curling up soaked to the bone in the alley entrance, icy raindrops striking his body, making him tremble so violently he could not stop. A pair of leather shoes suddenly appeared within his blurry line of sight; they should have been immaculate, yet they were splashed with unbefitting mud spots. A black umbrella tilted slightly, blocking the rain above Sheng Yuan’s head, while wetting the man’s shoulder. This was the second time Sheng Yuan saw Mu Xiaoduo, and he was still just as cold and high above, out of reach. “Sheng Yuan, come with me.” Sheng Yuan tremblingly opened his hands, his eyes red as he said, “My hearing aid is broken, I cannot hear what you said, I am sorry…” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: After the Unloved Deaf Boy Married the Scum Gong’s Uncle — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
