He Regretted It After the Little Mute Died

When An'an was found by Jiang Chengzhou, he was a tiny little thing curled up by the seaside, on the verge of death.

After waking up, he had lost all his memories and couldn't speak.

He was raised in a separate residence on the Jiang estate and became Jiang Chengzhou's personal possession.

An'an was obedient and gentle, never making a fuss. His whole heart and gaze were fixed on Jiang Chengzhou.

As the Jiang family's heir, Jiang Chengzhou had grown up amid power struggles. He was cold, obsessive, authoritarian, and trusted no one.

They shared a bed day after day, but never embraced.

Later, the Jiang family had cause to celebrate: Jiang Chengzhou was getting engaged.

An'an was overjoyed, but at the study door he heard Jiang Chengzhou's cold, heartless voice:

"I took him in because I felt sorry for him."

"How could a mute of unknown origins become the Jiang family's mistress?"

"If you're worried he'll cause trouble, just lock him up on the day of the engagement."

At last, An'an's love was exhausted and his heart turned to ashes. He prepared to leave when Jiang Chengzhou got engaged.

However, on the day of the engagement, a raging fire engulfed the Jiang family home.

Amid the blaze, An'an was locked in his room, with no way in or out. The flames lit up his exquisite face.

Jiang Chengzhou, dressed as a groom, fought off everyone trying to stop him and rushed inside like a madman, but it was already too late...

Much later, An'an was quietly brought back home. His memories returned, and his voice was healed.

It turned out he was Su Nian'an, the beloved youngest son of the top financial magnate family, the Sus.

The Su family was invited to attend the wedding of the Jiang family's head.

Su Nian'an appeared in elegant finery, his expression cool and composed, on the arm of his own eldest brother.

Jiang Chengzhou stood on the stage, disheveled and dejected. When he saw the familiar figure, he rushed over like a madman.

The Jiang elders were terrified out of their wits. They bowed and apologized to the Su family while scolding him: "Why are you grabbing at someone from the distinguished Su family?"

Su Nian'an was as lofty as the moon in the heavens.

He merely lifted his elegant hand, took out a matching-knot token, and smiled at him with an air of nobility. "I wish you well."
