Goodbye, Mr. Zhou. I'm Taking Our Baby and Sailing Away

[Clearheaded, Independent Heroine x Slow-to-Warm-Up Heir to a Powerful Family]

[Unconventional Regretful Pursuit | Runaway Pregnancy | Contract Marriage | Both Leads’ First Love | Older Male Lead | Raising a Child | Happy Ending]

When Wen Ying was short on money, she entered into a one-year contract marriage with Zhou Xuheng, head of the wealthy Zhou family.

For ten months of their marriage, they treated each other with polite respect.

Wen Ying was very happy with the arrangement. She didn’t have to cater to a client, and she got to live in a mansion. Who wouldn’t love the leisurely life of a wealthy wife?

But with only two months left on their contract, an accident brought them together.

Wen Ying was terribly nervous, afraid Zhou Xuheng would think she’d had ulterior motives. She promptly took a pill to prove she really had no interest in him!

But she still got pregnant. While she was hesitating over whether to tell Zhou Xuheng, his one true love returned.

Wen Ying had always known that one reason Zhou Xuheng had agreed to their contract marriage was that she looked a lot like the woman he loved.

Now that the real deal was back, it was time for the stand-in to leave.

When the contract expired, she left behind a signed divorce agreement and walked away with the baby in her belly.

She thought she’d never cross paths with Zhou Xuheng again, but just a few months later, he appeared in front of her with red eyes, saying he loved her and wanted them to become a real couple.

Wen Ying: “?”

Wait, wasn’t she just supposed to be a stand-in for his one true love?

Now that she’s back, why does he still want the stand-in?

-

At first, Zhou Xuheng thought Wen Ying made a pretty good business partner. She followed the contract to the letter and kept a polite distance from him. But gradually, he grew dissatisfied.

Why did she smile at other men but not at him?

Why did she keep her distance from him?

Why did she leave him behind and run away?
