My best friend and I got pregnant at the same time. She was carrying the child of her actor ex-boyfriend, and I was carrying the child of a Hong Kong entertainment mogul. Neither man wanted a child. My best friend gritted her teeth and said, "How about we keep the kids and ditch the dads?" I agreed right away. "Sure! Wherever you go, I'll go too."
Two years later, my best friend's son went viral because he looked like the actor. The cameras caught the two of us with our kids, too. That night, a group of men in black surrounded my bar. Just as I was about to call the police, a belt bound my hands behind my back.
Huo Yanchen's voice came from behind me. "Lin Wanxing, did you think you could get away?"
I turned my head and smiled. "Mr. Huo, does your arranged-marriage partner know you have a daughter abroad?"
Later, both men said they wanted to win us back. Su Nanzhi and I clinked our glasses. "They want us back? They can get in line."
