Cherished Without Surprise

● Serial novel blurb: Exclusive Report

Beautiful reporter & ruthless tycoon | Rekindled romance / Runaway with a child

Rookie reporter Chen Yanxin was eating noodles by the roadside with a colleague when they witnessed a luxury car crash.

Chen Yanxin recognized the people involved: Li Yixian, the young heir to a wealthy family in the capital, and Coco, a fresh-faced model. She rushed to the scene to deliver an exclusive report.

The video shot straight to the headlines as soon as it was released, with Chen Yanxin's youthful face appearing at the center of the screen.

Alongside hashtags like #LiYixianCarCrash,

#BoweiHeirLiYixian,

and #LiYixianCoco,

the video went viral. From then on, Chen Yanxin became a hotshot reporter and star in the news world.

After years together, her boyfriend suddenly brought up breaking up. Chen Yanxin saw him one last time on a clear, sunny afternoon.

Her boyfriend looked down and out, his voice hoarse as he told her to take care of herself.

In a black Porsche Cayenne nearby, a man watched her with a sharp gaze.

His assistant asked, "Young Master Xian, should I get out?"

Li Yixian pressed the button to raise the window and replied, completely at ease, "Wait for her to come to me."

-

Word around the industry was that Chen Yanxin was cozying up to the rich and powerful. She attended all kinds of high-end events and secured plenty of exclusive interviews through her connections, taking her career to its peak.

Everyone speculated about who the tycoon behind her was.

That night, Li Yixian was unusually frantic. His question, murmured close to her ear, sounded almost clenched between his teeth.

"Did you use me as a stepping stone?"

He gripped her face, his voice practically crashing into her ears. "Have you thought about the consequences?"

Chen Yanxin came to her senses. Making someone who had no heart care about her was wishful thinking to begin with.

She made up her mind to erase every trace of her life in this city and leave without a backward glance.

-

Chen Yanxin returned to the country to get treatment for her gravely ill father. At the airport's immigration hall, a child was by her side.

The media reported: No paternity test needed! The child is the spitting image of Li Yixian!

Chen Yanxin had gone from reporting the news to becoming the subject of it. She was already helpless enough about that.

What was even worse was that, a few days later, she opened her door and came face-to-face with that same cold, stern gaze from years ago.

Li Yixian let out a derisive laugh for no reason. "Do you remember what I told you?"

Before she could answer, his face turned cold again, his voice so indifferent it was almost dead. "Don't let me catch you again."

● Novel blurb

The night they broke up three years ago.

Chi Wei slumped in a muddy alley beside the studio.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he reeked of alcohol, utterly despondent.

He murmured, "Liu Shu, you don't love me at all."

Then he staggered away, never hearing Liu Shu's gentle, yearning reply:

"I love you, A Chi."

Three years later, at their families' arranged marriage, Liu Shu approached Chi Wei slowly in a wine-red qipao. Her slender figure was shapely, and her porcelain-white face was dazzling. She softly called him, "Hubby." Her voice was gentler and more tender than usual.

Chi Wei's throat bobbed. He was utterly defeated, yet quietly reached out and drew her into his arms. Leaning close to her ear, he whispered, "Liu Shu, it's all right if you don't love me."

The famous Mingcheng tycoon Chi Wei was said to be ascetic and proud, a man of distinction. The only gossip people had about him was this:

He doted on his photographer wife to the very marrow of his bones.

When his wife had a spat at work with a rising star in show business, President Chi went straight to work restructuring the star's company.

When his wife went to the Northwest to take photographs, President Chi, who had never taken a day off in all his years of hard work, personally went along to protect her.

When his wife's brows furrowed slightly, President Chi would be upset for three days.

Only his wife knew the truth. The "perfect husband" in everyone's eyes had spent a few short months showering her with sweet words and gently tempting her, until his plan was exposed and his aloof persona completely fell apart. On a night beneath the vast, star-filled skies of the Northwest, he followed her there and begged forgiveness: "Can we not get divorced? I really was wrong..."

#Unable to forget his first love, he goes to every length to marry her.#

A down-and-out man who can't forget his first love & the true heiress raised among ordinary people

● Warm-Temperate Island

At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, a little one suddenly ran onto the stage and stopped in front of the event's biggest investor. Mechanically, he reached out to grab the man's tie.

Sensing him from the corner of his eye, Fu Xiuyu bent down and knelt on one knee. "What do you want to do?"

Sui Yu stopped the little one's hand just as he was about to tug at the flash of blue.

Even so, she was still drenched in a cold sweat.

She patiently explained to Fu Xiuyu, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu. He's my student. He can't help touching things when he sees the color blue. It's a repetitive behavior."

Fu Xiuyu looked up and met Sui Yu's gentle amber eyes.

She was a rehabilitation teacher at a hospital, young and sweet, calm and composed.

Fu Xiuyu unhurriedly took off the tie around his neck and handed it to her. "It's all right. You can have it."

1. "Repetitive behavior is a certain action that is repeated, fixed, and without a clear purpose."

Fu Xiuyu discovered that he, too, had developed a repetitive behavior.

His gaze would follow Teacher Sui Yu.

And later,

His heart would race.

But he had a purpose.

Special education teacher & financial investment tycoon
