Zhou Ci suffers from severe separation anxiety.
Ten years ago, Shao Wenhui carried her out of a house crawling with cockroaches and rats.
She developed the kind of attachment to him that a baby bird feels for its rescuer.
The Zhou family adopted Zhou Ci, making her their daughter, but she was also expected to marry for the family's benefit.
Her betrothed was Zhao Chao, the only son of the tech tycoon Zhao family.
Zhao Chao was tall and handsome, but unfortunately, he was intellectually disabled.
Zhou Ci knelt before Shao Wenhui, took his left hand, and gently bit off his engagement ring.
He had worn that ring for ten years.
Zhou Ci rolled it around on her tongue, then stuck out her tongue to show it to Shao Wenhui. Her words muffled, she said, "Uncle Shao, can we not get married?"
