Spring Mountain in Hong Kong at Night

On a stormy night, a new guest arrived at Chunshan Manor. A pretty woman arrived with her son, seeking shelter with the manor's owner. They were soaked from the rain and looked a little bedraggled. The person who opened the door wasn't the butler, but the homeowner himself, Liang Yanxiu. He wore a white shirt and had a tall, slender build, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and striking good looks. When he saw the woman's slender figure, a hint of satisfaction passed through his deep-set eyes. Soon, he noticed the three-year-old boy beside her and couldn't help frowning slightly. His impatience lasted only an instant. He curved his lips into a smile, his face full of warmth and tenderness. "It's pouring outside, A Ying. Don't stand in the rain." "Come inside." The clever hunter had already laid a perfect trap, waiting for her to come to him. He needed her to seek his protection of her own accord, to depend on him and never leave. The only complication was the little tagalong at her side. - Liang Yanxiu, head of the Vants family, was rumored to be ruthless and merciless, yet skilled at treating people with kindness. Countless young heiresses secretly pined for him, hoping to secure the most coveted marriage alliance. Rumor had it Mr. Liang had apparently gotten married recently. Someone in the know had spotted a woman at his private manor. Word was, she was Mr. Liang's ex-girlfriend. Only, the woman had brought a child with her. The news set the social scene abuzz. Mr. Liang was actually willing to raise someone else's child. A man of his means had fallen for such an ordinary woman. - Liang Yanxiu had, in fact, been rather troubled lately. He was trying to figure out how to win Lin Chaoying back. After all these years, she was still stubborn and willful. Even though he hated that willful little boy who was always going against him, the child had Lin Chaoying's blood in his veins, so he still had to treat him well. For A Ying's sake, Liang Yanxiu began learning how to be a good stepfather. Unfortunately, the boy didn't seem to appreciate it. He saw Liang Yanxiu as the enemy who had stolen his mommy away. Liang Yanxiu thought he could keep up the act for the rest of his life and try to treat the boy like his own son. It was, after all, his duty as a husband. Until one day, Liang Yanxiu discovered that the little boy who always seemed to dislike him was actually his own son. His fingers trembled as he gripped the woman's frail shoulders, his voice breaking: "A Ying, you fooled me so completely."
