[Clearheaded, independent ivory-tower beauty × domineering, distinguished officialdom big shot + older man/younger woman + two strong leads with contrasting personalities and intense push-pull chemistry + sweet and angsty romance + second-chance reunion + powerful-family romance + winning her back and doting on her, happy ending + realistic tone]
She was still clutching the pregnancy test results she had just received when a message popped up on her phone: He was engaged.
Not long before that, she had learned that his father was the “mastermind” behind a deadly accident on a project.
“What are you trying to do? Gather hard evidence to nail my father, and then what?”
“Are you going to take me down, too, so you can clear the way for your grand plan to study abroad?”
“Go investigate. Go report him. Need more evidence? Want me to help?”
She took half a step back. He took half a step forward.
She never expected that before she could report his father, a letter reporting him would arrive first!
One engagement banquet, two letters of accusation. Pregnant, she resolutely went abroad to study and gave birth to a child.
“Whose child is she carrying?” he asked.
“You can’t even guarantee you’ll marry her! What makes you think you can have a child with her?” he retorted.
She realized his love was a cage, a carefully laid trap, and broke free. But he was mired in scandal and unable to take a single step forward.
When she appeared at a training seminar again, this time she sat beside him as a scholar.
Not only had she refused to give up the child she was carrying, she was now holding his child’s hand. She looked up at him and chirped, “Hello, Uncle!”
Years of repressed love and vulnerability finally erupted in that moment, binding them together in an endless entanglement.
It's the first time I've seen such a frustrated leader. He looks like a junior clerk. Alas.
So looking forward to it
It's very interesting. I'm looking forward to the story of chasing my wife later.
