    I avoided a lot of domineering CEO novels, but these few were surprisingly good. The male lead is powerful and respects the female lead's thoughts, doesn't force the relationship, and grows closer slowly. The interactions between the two are very realistic.

Finally, when the baby could walk, when she wanted to leave again, Su Han said the baby would be bullied because he had no mother from a young age, and was very pitiful… Xiang Zhinan softened again. She gritted her teeth and said to Su Han, "Why don't you find a new mother for the child?" These words made her sweet little daughter cry more bitterly than anyone else, slurring, "Mommy doesn't want me anymore." Su Han's eyes also reddened as he looked at her and questioned, "Do you really have to leave me?"
