After My Husband Died, He Ran Away with the Child

[Please add my next book, Please Consider Me, to your reading list]

1. Wu Deng's husband dies, and he runs away from home with his child.

In this unfamiliar city and unfamiliar surroundings, no one knows him. He can live a quiet, peaceful life with his child.

But then he runs into a classmate from high school.

He Zhian gazes at him for a long while before slowly giving him a gentle smile. "Long time no see."

Wu Deng looks up at the unfamiliar, imposing man standing before him. The other man is smiling, but Wu Deng still feels inexplicably tense.

"...Long time no see."

The man's gaze shifts to the child clinging to Wu Deng's side. "Is he your little brother?"

Wu Deng presses his lips together. "No. He's my child."

The smile at the corner of He Zhian's mouth freezes.

2. Wu Deng thinks He Zhian is gentle and kind, handsome and wealthy, and, most importantly, wonderful to both him and his child.

He's never met anyone so good.

Wu Deng and He Zhian get together.

But his son doesn't seem happy about it.

Fang Yuanzhi wraps both arms around Wu Deng's neck and whispers in his ear, "Dad, can you please not be with him?"

"You don't like Uncle He?"

Fang Yuanzhi remembers what he saw He Zhian do not long ago and grabs Wu Deng's clothes tightly, looking frightened.

"He's not really like that..."

-

At their first reunion, He Zhian thinks that Wu Deng hasn't changed.

He's as beautiful and gentle as before, but his eyes have grown dim, as if covered by a gray cloth.

He Zhian doesn't know what Wu Deng has been through all these years, but it doesn't matter. He can cherish Wu Deng all over again.

He Zhian hates everyone, himself included. In his eyes, everyone around him is worthless

Except Wu Deng.
