All Sugar, No Ice

On the day she graduated, Li Shanyao got drunk. She had meant to spend the night with her boyfriend, but somehow ended up in her senior Song Zimu’s bed. Not long afterward, she discovered she was pregnant and was forced into married life at a young age.

Four years into their marriage, they had an adorable child, a considerate husband, and no worries about food or clothes. Just as she was ready to lie flat, she was brainwashed by a certain blog, a certain Q&A site, and a certain lifestyle app. She resolutely decided to find a job, only to discover that the client her company was eager to please was Song Zimu, the very man she had deliberately left off the spouse line on her employment form.

Song Zimu (holding his wife) (unhappy) (frowning): …As long as Yaoyao is happy, that’s all that matters. But what do you mean, calling yourself a single mother?

Li Shanyao (guilty): Hehe, in theory, it can make the client feel more sympathy for a little specialist like me, helping us push the project forward faster, better, and more efficiently.

Song Zimu (sighing) (helpless) (doting): But I’m the client now.

Li Shanyao (shamelessly kissing him): Daddy!

Song Zimu’s biggest secret was that he had fallen in love with his wife at first sight.

So when Yaoyao stumbled into his room, drunk, and forced herself on him, he was more than happy.

He was also happy to give up a better opportunity to study abroad so he could marry Yaoyao.

And he was still happy when Yaoyao gave up being a CEO’s wife, went incognito to work as a junior specialist for a third-party company, and asked him to play along.

All he ever wanted was for Yaoyao to be happy. Besides, whatever he had to play along with during the day, he’d make her repay in full at night.

But if Yaoyao’s ex-boyfriend suddenly returned to the country and became her boss, he would be very unhappy.
