My next book, Picking Up a Rich Family's Little Kid, is available to add to your reading list. [1] After making his debut, stunning beauty Jiang Lai is constantly surrounded by dating rumors. His supposed conquests include a company CEO, a young heir to a jewelry business, and a cool model. He switches partners every season, earning him the nickname “seasonal boyfriend” from his haters. But Jiang Lai entered the modeling industry with his height and long legs. He's talented, emotionally intelligent, and especially charming when he smiles. Even his haters can't resist him. They bash him with their main accounts while secretly switching to alts to gush over him. While filming a variety show, Jiang Lai is hit by a prop board. When he wakes up, he's lost six years of memories and discovers that he's become a celebrity who's famous for all the wrong reasons. He also has a five-year-old child, formally named Jiang Tangcheng and nicknamed Zaizai. His manager confirms: Zaizai is your biological child. Your. Very. Own. Child. Jiang Lai: “???” Manager: “The father is someone you had a one-night stand with.” Jiang Lai: “!!!” Manager: “I asked who it was, but you refused to tell me.” Jiang Lai: “…” Now that he's lost his memory, doesn't that mean no one knows who Zaizai's other father is? [2] Qin Yushang's career peaked right after his debut. By the age of 24, he had won every major domestic award and become the youngest Best Actor. He was always known for his steady, composed demeanor, but six years ago he abruptly abandoned his flourishing career and went abroad. After returning to China, Qin Yushang runs into Jiang Lai, who has lost his memory, at a banquet one evening. Jiang Lai smiles. “Mr. Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you.” Qin Yushang scowls. “A pleasure to meet me?” Later, they star in the same urban drama. They stay in rooms across the hall from each other. Qin Yushang hears people talking in Jiang Lai's room, sees “hickey marks” on Jiang Lai's neck, and witnesses him going on dates with young men. The company CEO, the cool model, and the young jewelry heir even take turns visiting the set. Qin Yushang sneers. “He can't even behave himself while filming. Hmph.” [3] One day, news breaks that Jiang Lai had a child out of wedlock. The internet fills with criticism, and haters swarm his Weibo account. Then the drama's cast and crew go live together, Zaizai accidentally appears on camera, and the internet goes wild. “Zaizai is so cute!” “I'm going to cry, he's adorable!” “Ahhh, Zaizai, look at your big sister!” The haters flood Jiang Lai's Weibo, begging him to take Zaizai on a variety show and livestream with him. The company CEO, cool model, and young jewelry heir: “We'd love to have such a cute kid!” Qin Yushang: “Get lost.” Then he turns to Zaizai. “Good boy, call me Dad.” Only later does Qin Yushang learn that the child who accidentally called him Dad three times is truly his own. A stunning, poised beauty with a perfect figure as the bottom VS a Best Actor who loses all his intelligence in front of his wife and can't stop imagining things as the top [Extra scene] After many twists and turns, the family of three is finally reunited. One day, after putting Zaizai to bed, Qin Yushang starts bringing up old grievances. “That night, I left you my number. I haven't changed it in six years. Why didn't you call?” Jiang Lai closes the script he's halfway through reading. “The washing machine could have ruined the number in my pocket, or I could have been mugged right after leaving the hotel. Pick one.” Qin Yushang says angrily, “Tell me the truth.” Jiang Lai meets his eyes and, after a moment, says seriously, “The truth is, I really thought that night was just a one-time thing.” Qin Yushang said nothing at the time. The next day, after dropping Zaizai off at school, he ran away from home. Jiang Lai went to the hotel to find him and didn't get out of bed for three days. Having tasted success, Best Actor Qin repeated the trick, finding another excuse to run away from home. Zaizai asked Jiang Lai, “Why hasn't Dad come home? I miss him.” Jiang Lai calmly replied, “Let him stay out there. It's fine.” Qin Yushang, secretly listening in on a call with Zaizai: “…” Reader's guide: 1.

Hope you enjoy reading! Pre-release: The Rich Family's Everyday Tutor Zhang Qiao was working at a shop when he stepped in to help someone and found a little boy who couldn't speak. The child's family came looking for him, arriving in a luxury car with an assistant. They were impressive from head to toe. Zhang Qiao took one look from a distance and left. Standing outside the police station, he called a friend. “I found a kid who looks pretty rich. The reward should start at five figures, right?” But when he turned around, he came face-to-face with the child's guardian. Up close, the man was quite handsome, and his three-piece suit was exactly Zhang Qiao's type. Only his gaze seemed a little cold. * The second time they met was downstairs from Zhang Qiao's rented apartment. After feeding his cat, he turned around and saw a man standing behind him, whose fine suit looked completely out of place in the old apartment block. The man asked him to tutor his nephew, the little boy who couldn't speak. Zhang Qiao didn't answer immediately. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette. The orange-red ember flickered between his fingers. Through the drifting smoke, he narrowed his eyes at the suited man and asked with a half-smile, “I only finished high school. Are you sure?” * If he had any other choice, Qin Yiheng wouldn't have come to Zhang Qiao. But his nephew, Qin Xiaoman, was timid by nature, and Zhang Qiao was one of the few people he'd shown any affection for. Even through the smoke, Qin Yiheng could see that Zhang Qiao had an exceptionally beautiful face. His skin was very fair, and when he smiled, his eyes curved and a dimple appeared in one cheek, making him look sweet and innocent. But Zhang Qiao's audacious gaze made Qin Yiheng very uncomfortable. Later, when Zhang Qiao learned who his birth mother was, he left for another country. Qin Yiheng chased after him and found him feverish on a snowy street in a foreign land, then brought him back to the hotel to care for him. To the hotel receptionist, Qin Yiheng declared, “I'm his boyfriend.” To Zhang Qiao's birth mother, Qin Yiheng said coldly, “I'm his fiancé.” Zhang Qiao overheard both. Amused, he teased, “Two promotions in one day. Not bad, Mr. Qin.” Perhaps the snow had chilled him, because Qin Yiheng's ears turned a little red. He held Zhang Qiao's cold feet against his chest and asked in a low voice, “Will you let me?” [Extra scene] Zhang Qiao moves into the Qin household and becomes Qin Xiaoman's live-in tutor. Before long, Qin Xiaoman finally begins to speak. Though he can only get the words out one by one, hearing him say “Uncle” almost makes Qin Yiheng cry with joy. Zhang Qiao asks Qin Xiaoman, “Then what do you call me?” Qin Xiaoman stammers, “Un... uncle...” Zhang Qiao flicks his forehead. “Silly boy, why do you call everyone Uncle?” Qin Xiaoman looks up at him and gives a silly grin. Much later, when Qin Xiaoman can speak almost without difficulty, he sees Zhang Qiao again and runs over to shout, “Auntie!” Theme: Love can heal anything.
