    A sudden change left Wen Qian an unwanted child. Wen Siyu took her home and pampered her like a princess. Spending every day and night together, he cared for her tenderly. As her girlish heart began to mature, one night, fueled by alcohol, she boldly kissed him. Crying, she pleaded, "Uncle, please don't have a girlfriend, okay?"

"Uncle, please have some self-respect. I already have a boyfriend." In the darkness, Wen Siyu's eyes were unfathomable. "He's your boyfriend, so who am I?" Later, Wen Siyu fought and fought, almost taking advantage of her completely. Wen Qian was furious. "Wen Siyu, you bastard!" Wen Siyu smiled maliciously, pulling her closer.
