Didn't You Say You Didn't Love Me? I Ran Off Pregnant, So What Are You Regretting?

[Older Man, Devoted to One Another, Powerful Man Bows His Head, Mostly Sweet with a Little Angst] Shen Nianzi was He Wangzhou's kept songbird. She was utterly obedient, sweet and well-behaved, never making a fuss or throwing a tantrum.

A friend asked, "You've kept her for three years. Have you fallen for her?"

He Wangzhou sneered. "Love? How could I? She's just a little plaything."

His friends all thought Shen Nianzi couldn't live without He Wangzhou. "That's true. She's completely devoted to you, after all."

He Wangzhou thought so too.

He got engaged to the woman chosen for him in an alliance marriage.

He had assumed that his obedient little songbird would stay by his side, even when he married someone else.

But on his wedding day, Shen Nianzi disappeared forever.

He Wangzhou went mad. The sense of losing control suffocated him.

-

Five years later, He Wangzhou saw the woman he had longed for day and night. His yearning had tormented him almost to madness. He realized he had fallen in love with her long ago.

He Wangzhou's eyes reddened. "Shen Nianzi, why did you leave without a word?"

"Mr. He, didn't you say you didn't love me? Why are you crying now that I've left?"

"Shen Nianzi, I regret it. Come back to me. I love you."

"Sorry, I'm getting engaged."

-

He Wangzhou, the future head of a top wealthy family in the capital's elite circles, is aloof and distinguished, supremely rational, and always puts the He family's interests first.

Yet he never expected that one day, a woman would make him lose control and go mad.

[Even the most rational person can lose control in front of the one they love.]
