I Was Forced to Become My Ex's Caged Canary

Gu Yuyan is a university professor raising a child alone. An academic star, outstanding in both looks and talent, he has a secret no one knows: he can bear children.

Seven years ago, after a passionate night, Gu Yuyan gave birth to a child out of wedlock, without even getting a good look at the other person's face.

Seven years later, Nie Chen, a rich second-generation businessman who ruled the local business world, showed up at his door to propose. "Let's get married. Big data calculated that I'm your destined one."

After that, rumors began circulating around town.

They say that after their wedding, Young Master Nie kept an exceptionally pampered canary, living in extravagant luxury, domineering and willful, spoiled and capricious.

Entertainment reporters: "That canary has quite a high status. Young Master Nie even brings him to family meetings."

Society ladies: "President Nie spends lavishly on his canary. He's given him property, shares, even a yacht and a small island."

Onlookers: "I heard they even have a six-year-old illegitimate child!"

Faced with rumors sweeping the internet, Gu Yuyan remained calm. "It's just a marriage of convenience. I don't care how many birds he keeps."

.

Several months later, at an international academic conference,

Professor Gu, suffering a sudden flare-up of an old ailment, curled up beside the podium, trembling all over from the pain.

Nie Chen rushed onto the stage, scooped Gu Yan up by the backs of his knees in front of everyone, and held him in his arms.

Gu Yuyan's face flushed red, but his voice was icy. "Get away. I'm not your canary."

Nie Chen pried open Gu Yan's tightly clenched hand, leaned down beside his ear, and smiled wickedly. "How do you know you're not?"

Gu Yuyan, breathless, said, "The illegitimate child..."

Nie Chen's voice was low and magnetic. "That's our child."

Gu Yuyan: Damn it, I actually became the bird they were talking about?!
