   🍯"Madam, the young master has been standing in the corner for three hours." The huge villa living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Jiang Tang groggily opened her eyes, but was blinded by the golden light on the wall and closed them again. She turned over and continued lying down. Her CEO-esque quirks led her to reply, "Oh, so did he admit his mistake?" Aunt Liu and the housekeeper wore expressions of 'I knew it,' and the silence was eerily heavy. Jiang Tang rubbed her eyes, and a blurry scene appeared before her, like a tiny ball of fluff floating by. She learned to ask and answer herself, "What? Did he buy the corner?" The classic CEO tactic: buy whatever's not working out.

   🍋On her wedding night, Jiang Mian listened to the sound of running water from the bathroom while viciously chewing on nuts from the fruit bowl. "Ms. Su Mei, how cruel you are! Pushing your daughter all the way into the bridal chamber, even locking the door from the outside! Isn't this leaving her no escape? A lamb to the slaughter?" But then again, between her and Fu Chengjing, who might be the lamb? Thinking this, Jiang Mian's peach blossom eyes flickered, revealing a slightly sly smile. Jiang Mian had grown up surrounded by love, and her standards were extremely high. If she had to say who she had ever liked, it would be Fu Chengjing, the student council president she secretly admired in high school. Recalling Fu Chengjing's tall, elegant figure and noble features, Jiang Mian's smile widened. "Hehe, fate really does favor her; even a random marriage connects her to her crush. This aloof, high-and-mighty flower is now in my hands. Hehehe." If humiliation were to appear on that distant face... *Slurp slurp.* As Jiang Mian's thoughts raced, Fu Chengjing finished his shower and strode over. He wore only a ridiculously short towel around his waist, barely hanging down, exposing his strong, muscular chest. With each step, a powerful aura of masculinity filled the air. Jiang Mian's eyes widened at his masculine allure, and her playful urge to tease Fu Chengjing intensified. She called Fu Chengjing to the bedside, her gaze fixed on his powerful, muscular frame. "Young Master Fu~" Jiang Mian's voice was already alluring, but her deliberately slowed tone made it even more seductive. Fu Chengjing's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. "Fu Chengjing~" Jiang Mian noticed his wavering and called out again in a strained voice. Fu Chengjing's defenses were about to crumble. "Admit you're captivated by my charm, and I'll allow you to sleep with me today." Jiang Mian dropped the final bombshell. Fu Chengjing completely broke down, sliding to his knees and grabbing her arm tightly. "Mianmian! Wife! Darling! Baby!" "Of course I'm completely captivated by your charm!"

    This novel about raising a child is quite different. Other novels about raising children usually feature incredibly powerful babies, which seem even more extraordinary the more you read. In this one, the baby's behavior feels very relatable. A two-year-old's expression isn't clear yet, and they only half-understand what adults are saying, but these little rascals are surprisingly thoughtful. Although the plot is a bit clichéd, the characters are well-developed. The character Ning Bao is so adorable, a bit like my son when he was little. The young lady has a great sense of style, and the CEO isn't suffering from allergies to women or stomach problems, etc. It's a great read, I love it! I binged it all! Author, please update soon!
