Everyone in the circle of socialites knew Lin Enzhi liked Zhuo An, loved him to the very core.

Lin Enzhi also knew someone else held Zhuo An's heart, but she couldn't stop herself from falling for him. She did everything she could to marry into the Zhuo family.

Zhuo An became even more indifferent to her. On their wedding night, he slept in the guest room, showing her not a shred of consideration.

If she couldn't have him, then no one else could!

She would hold on to her position as Mrs. Zhuo and make sure that other woman spent her whole life wanting what she could never have!

Zhuo An realized that Lin Enzhi, who had once lived for him, seemed like a completely different person.

She no longer waited for him to come home, called to check up on him, or even looked him in the eye.

What's more, she even started staying out all night!

This had to be a scheme, some underhanded trick of hers!

Did she think such a clumsy ploy would get his attention?

At last, he cornered her against the wall, one hand braced above her head, and examined her. "Are you playing hard to get?"

She smiled sweetly. "Zhuo An, you're not my whole world anymore."

Preorder: Daddy, I Caught You

Lin Suyu took her younger sister's place and married into the Ji family while Ji Yan was unconscious after a car accident.

The wedding was grand and lively, but the groom's place was empty.

Just as everyone thought she would either be a widow or endure a marriage in name only, Ji Yan miraculously woke up.

When he learned that he had been made to marry for good luck, Ji Yan flew into a rage and immediately demanded a divorce.

In front of Ji Yan, Lin Suyu always kept her eyes lowered, concealing her feelings as she quietly helped him with his rehabilitation, offering him a towel or a glass of warm water when the moment called for it.

In Ji Yan's eyes, she was plain-looking and boring, and all she did was put on an act of being a virtuous, dignified wife in front of his parents.

Before long, everyone in the Ji family knew that their master couldn't stand his wife. Lin Suyu ranked below even the servants in the household.

Three months later, Ji Yan had fully recovered. The first thing he did was invite his sister-in-law, Lin Suyuan, over.

Lin Suyu accidentally caught the two of them in a compromising embrace. At last, she signed the divorce papers, packed her bags, and left without hesitation.

Three years later, Ji Yan went on a blind date at an aquarium, arranged by his family.

By chance, a group of kindergarten children came to tour the aquarium with their teacher. The little tykes all wore yellow caps and identical uniforms, chattering away like a flock of ducklings.

A few of them could barely walk, wobbling as if they might fall at any moment.

He raised his wrist to check his watch when something suddenly rushed over and wrapped around his leg. He looked down to see a round little tyke smiling at him and saying in a childish voice, "Daddy, I caught you."

The teacher hurried over to apologize and carried the child back to the group.

He heard the little tyke ask the teacher, "Isn't he my daddy?"

Yan Shihan was notorious in their circle for being a ruthless profiteer. Business was all he cared about; everything else left him cold.

When he reached the age to marry, his mother bustled about arranging blind dates for him. Yan Shihan was cooperative enough, showing up on time for every one and interviewing his potential matches while flipping through the background reports his secretary had prepared. Every time, he managed to insult the young lady until she cried.

Eventually, he became the most sought-after bachelor on the blind-date market, for all the wrong reasons.

Even as the Yan family grew more prosperous by the day, and even as his mother shamelessly tried to sell him to potential matches, no one was willing to go on a date with him anymore.

Later, his mother suddenly held a grand banquet and announced the happy news that Yan Shihan was about to get married.

The whole circle erupted. Which young lady had passed the blind-date interview?

The Lin family had recently celebrated a joyous occasion: the daughter who had gone missing more than twenty years ago had been found.

The little toddler she had once been had grown into a round little dumpling. Chubby... er, in her mother's eyes, she was the very picture of good fortune!

She even had a lovely name: Zhen Bao.

The Zhen family had always treasured Zhen Bao, and her adoptive family was happy for her to find her birth parents, too.

The two families joyfully discussed it and decided to change Zhen Bao's name to Lin Zhenbao.

Lin's mother said, "I've let Bao down all these years. I have to find her a good match."

Zhen's mother said, "Our Bao is so wonderful. Nothing but the very best will do!"

After looking high and low, it seemed that only Yan Shihan of the Yan family, a top-tier star in their circle, was an impressive enough match.

Yan Shihan flipped through the background report his secretary had prepared and, for the first time, felt that this blind date would be a challenge.

The round young woman sitting across from him was unlike the young ladies he'd met before. As soon as she sat down, she started eating desserts and chatting with him like they'd known each other for ages. She even asked him what his dreams were.

After she finished her first dessert, he asked, "What do you think you can bring to our marriage?"

The young woman puffed out her chest and proudly declared, "I can answer the country's call and have three children!"

Yan's mother, who had been eavesdropping at the next table, excitedly knocked over her chair and rushed over to grasp Lin Zhenbao's chubby hands.

"Miss Lin, you really are a teacher. Your ideals are so admirable! We have to answer the country's call, and I support you! If you have a child with Shihan, I'll donate a Hope Primary School! Better to seize the day than put it off. Let's go register our marriage right now. We can't let anything get in the way of the children's education!"
