Ye Shiwu ended the pregnancy she never should have had.
As soon as she stepped out of the operating room, the child's father pinned her against the wall. “Give me another one.”
She couldn't, and she didn't want to.
He held her entire family's fate in his hands, making sure she understood that she couldn't escape.
With nowhere else to turn, Ye Shiwu knocked on the door of his best friend's home.
Fu Mingli, famous in their circle for his gentle nature, had always been the perennial runner-up. He never fought for anything.
Ye Shiwu stood before him and cut straight to the point. “Mr. Fu, I need to borrow your influence. If you're willing, we can work together. If not, I'll find someone else.”
Fu Mingli glanced at her and poured her a glass of warm water. “Let's hear it.”
Later, he remembered that she didn't eat cilantro, liked iced orange juice, and always paused when she saw lily of the valley.
Later, he realized he was always looking for excuses to see her.
And later still, when Xiao Rui grabbed her hand and refused to let go in a private room, Fu Mingli stood in front of everyone and shielded her behind him. “She's my girlfriend.”
She said, “Fu Mingli, you don't have to get involved.”
He said, “I'm already involved.”
