I Fled to My Brother with a Baby Bump, Only to Be Kissed Senseless by a Reserved Professor

1970s Setting + Beijing Courtyard Home + Arrives in the Capital Pregnant + Tsinghua Professor + Satisfying Business-Building Story

Three months after her divorce, Shen Zhiyi arrives in the capital, very pregnant.

As soon as she steps off the train, she runs into her ex-husband, Lu Chengyuan.

He is a professor of mechanical engineering at Tsinghua University, a technical expert courted by every major factory in the capital.

He looks at her belly and falls silent for a long time.

Shen Zhiyi, however, just wants to keep her distance from him.

In this life, all she wants is to make money.

She sets up a stall selling pastries in a Beijing courtyard, opens a small food workshop, then builds a food factory.

Her business flourishes.

The courtyard residents go from mocking her to currying favor.

But the man who should have had nothing more to do with her keeps acting more and more strangely.

When she opens her workshop, he sends her machinery.

When someone reports her, he stands up as a witness on her behalf.

When someone bullies her, he steps in to protect her.

Then one day, in front of a crowd, Professor Lu blocks her path.

“Shen Zhiyi, let’s get remarried.”

Shen Zhiyi raises an eyebrow.

“Professor Lu, did you take a number before trying to win me back?”
