Let's Get Married on an Auspicious Day

[Sorry, I've been in a terrible state lately, with no inspiration at all, and writing has been so hard. I think I need to rest and get myself together, so please don't wait for updates. I'll finish the next book before posting it... Zzzzzz...]

Chu Zhi has a secret crush on Xu Nandu, the company president. She tried confessing to him, but he didn't even look at her before having her thrown out.

Who could have guessed that an accident would bring them into an intimate relationship, and that she would end up pregnant? For the sake of their families' reputations, they held their noses and got married.

Everyone said Chu Zhi was marrying up, and that she had forced her way into the Xu family by getting pregnant.

Then someone claimed to have seen Chu Zhi cut up an expensive tie that an admirer had given Xu Nandu. Xu only smiled and didn't care at all. Later, he even bought her a whole box so she could cut up as many as she wanted.

Others said that after she got pregnant, Xu Nandu had to dry her hair for her and feed her at meals... She was so spoiled that he even had to trim her toenails for her.

Chu Zhi says it's all rumors, nothing but rumors!

The two of them aren't even close. At the office, he's her boss and she's an intern, with a clear line between superior and subordinate. After work, at most they lie in the same bed under the covers and make painfully awkward small talk.

This marriage was never an equal one. One was a prominent young heir from a prestigious family with connections in Beijing's elite circles, while the other was an ordinary office worker.

After their child was born, the marriage still reached a dead end.

That day, she handed in her resignation.

Xu Nandu asked, "Are you sure?"

Chu Zhi nodded.

The man remained cold-faced. After a long pause, he picked up his pen and approved it.

Three years later, she returned to Beijing.

One day, she learned that her niece had been bullied at school and decided to demand an explanation. Before she could even enter the principal's office, she saw the director wearing an ingratiating smile. "Mr. Xu, we're truly sorry. Our management failed..."

Chu Zhi stopped in her tracks. Before she could escape, the man had already turned around.

Their eyes met. His expression was cold, while Chu Zhi looked awkward.

"Mommy!" Before she could manage a polite greeting, a little child rushed over and clung tightly to her leg.

After that, she was hounded constantly. The phone at home rang every few days with the same question: "Mommy, when are you coming to see me and Daddy?"

When she went on a blind date with a male colleague, the little one ran over, calling her "Mommy" again and again, and the colleague left with a dark expression.

Unable to take it anymore, Chu Zhi called Xu Nandu one day. "Can't you keep your son in line?!"

He scoffed. "Is he only my son?"

She was about to blow up when she heard his voice soften, coaxing her gently. "I can't handle him alone. It'd take both of us."
