A Chance Encounter in Disguise: Love at First Sight Was an Unexpected Deception

Qiao Qian was desperate for money, so she struck a deal with a rich tycoon to have his child.

But on the very night they were supposed to go through with it, bad news arrived: the tycoon's second son, who had been living away from home, had returned. The tycoon was so worked up he nearly had a heart attack, and Qiao Qian's plan was put on hold.

Worried that something might happen to his son, who had suddenly returned, the tycoon decided to leave him in Qiao Qian's care for the time being. Once the time was right, they would hold a grand ceremony to officially welcome him back into the family.

One day, Qiao Qian stumbled upon the second young master's secret. It turned out he was playing an even bigger game than she was. She'd planned to have a child in exchange for money, but he had gone so far as to pretend to be someone's son and enjoy the benefits without lifting a finger. Now that was clever! Qiao Qian threw her head back and cried out to the heavens: "Old man, do you have any daughters living away from home, too?"

Zhou Ye, with his hair dyed blond, thought to himself: This woman is younger than me, yet she keeps trying to act like my elder. She's taking advantage of her age, but sometimes she's pretty cute!

"The boundless universe is all illusion to me,

You are my rose, my entire fortune."
