After My Plan to Keep the Baby and Leave the Father Behind Failed

【Secret Crush + Marriage First, Love Later + 9-Year Age Gap】 【Unfavored Heiress X Gentle, Fatherly CEO】 Ji You was born into a powerful family, yet she was the one they valued least. After returning from abroad, she was told she was about to marry her sworn enemy. To get out of the marriage, she decided to have a “get-out-of-jail-free card.” Zhou Ming'an was the head of the Zhou Group. Everyone in Shanghai addressed him respectfully as Mr. Zhou. Ji You carefully worked her way into his life, first becoming his assistant, then secretly sleeping with him. She didn't get pregnant the first time, but when they tried again, they were caught in the act. Once their relationship was out in the open, she became Zhou Ming'an's one and only. Before her plan could succeed, her sworn enemy returned from abroad ahead of schedule. Ji You packed her things and prepared to run, but Zhou Ming'an blocked the doorway and slipped a ring onto her finger. “Marry me. You're already mine, so where do you think you're going?” Her plan was officially over. She was hauled back to the Zhou family and made Mrs. Zhou. Ji You married into the Zhou family but refused to help her own family gain advantages, angering the elders of the Ji clan. After she gave birth, Old Master Ji came in person to apologize to Zhou Ming'an. “Xiao You let us down by not giving birth to a son, but there are plenty of good girls in the Ji family. Just say the word, Ming'an, and we can send one over right away.” Ji You happened to overhear their conversation, and her heart sank. She wondered if it was time to restart her plan, but then the man who was always so gentle spoke in a voice as cold as ice. “Chairman Ji, you've got it wrong. My marriage to Xiao You has nothing to do with the Ji family.” “She is the one I hold dearest. Whether she gives birth to a girl or even a cat, I'll love her just the same.” Only later did Ji You learn that he had fallen in love with her many years ago, and that he would go on loving her for many, many more.
