[Beijing's Golden Boy vs. Cool, Aloof Superstar, Five-Year Age Gap, Both Pure]
When Cen Sining was young, she was sent to live with the Zhao family in Beijing. She grew up cherished and indulged, with everything going her way. Beautiful and radiant, she was also sweet and well-behaved.
Zhao Jingqi, meanwhile, was one of the capital's golden boys: bold and carefree, blessed with looks that were second to none, and always surrounded by admirers wherever he went.
Whenever Cen Sining saw this “Second Brother,” she would greet him out of habit, lowering her eyes with a hint of timidity.
They looked like strangers.
No one knew that Zhao Jingqi had set aside a bedroom for Cen Sining in his private villa. The walk-in closet, spanning hundreds of square meters, was filled mostly with women's clothes.
Rumor had it that the rising star Cen Sining had a mysterious backer. When a reporter asked if it was true, she gave an evasive answer.
That night, deep in the small hours, Zhao Jingqi arrived at the hotel where Cen Sining was staying and woke her from her sleep. He asked, one word at a time, “Am I really so shameful that you have to hide me?”
Cen Sining stared straight at him. “But there can never be a future for us.”
She knew that the strict Zhao family would never allow a celebrity to marry into it.
Zhao Jingqi curled his lips into a smile. “How would you know if you don't try?”
When Cen Sining heard that Zhao Jingqi was about to get engaged, she deleted every one of his contact details.
But when she returned to her hotel that night, the man was already waiting for her.
Cen Sining slapped him. “I don't love you anymore. We're over.”
Zhao Jingqi pressed close, his low voice gentle and tender. “But, Ningning, your body is lying.”
The next day, Cen Sining was taken back to Beijing. All her work was put on hold, and she was confined to Zhao Jingqi's private villa, where he kept her up until the middle of the night every day.
Later, Cen Sining still managed to run away.
Two months later, however, she came back with a pregnancy test result and flung it at Zhao Jingqi in a fury. Tears streamed down her face. “You bastard!”
Even lying in his hospital bed, Zhao Jingqi could still smile. “How about we have the baby?”
