The Substitute CEO Wants the Throne, but His Secretary Flees While Pregnant

When Lu Huaizheng realized he was the stand-in, he completely broke down. “Jiarou, since my brother and I look so much alike, why don’t you just treat me as him?” When he discovered he’d only been used to father a child, then cruelly abandoned, Lu Huaizheng went mad. “Xu Jiarou, about what I said last time, about being the other woman, I’ve made up my mind. I’m willing to be your mistress.” When he realized Xu Jiarou’s kindness was an act, her love was a lie, and every second she looked at him, she was thinking of his brother, Lu Huaizheng turned dark. “If my brother can do it, why can’t I? What does he have that I don’t?” Everyone in Longcheng knew that Lu Huaizheng, a man at the very top of the pyramid, had a top-tier secretary and lover who was always at his beck and call, considerate and attentive. Xu Jiarou had been with him since she was twenty. Lu Huaizheng had only one rule: don’t fall for him. Xu Jiarou was obedient. Before his wedding, she quietly slipped away, taking his child with her. Only then did Lu Huaizheng realize that he was the biggest fool of all, hopelessly ensnared in a trap of tenderness built on false affection. Furious, the man searched every last corner of the world. When he finally found her, his eyes bloodshot, he asked: “After leaving me, did you find another dog who suits your taste and is easy to fool? If not, then take me in instead.” When he heard her demand of Lu Yanli: “I thought you were dead! I just wanted to have a child who looked like you, so I’d have something to look forward to for the rest of my life!” The white moonlight who had returned from the dead confessed her guilt before her. Lu Huaizheng pushed open the door, his eyes bloodshot. “Brother, you can’t have children anymore. You’ll treat Jiarou’s and my child as your own, won’t you?”
