Rekindled Romance | Urban Opening | CEO Raises a Child to Win Back His Wife
1.
Four years after breaking up with Huo Yuheng, Li Dong returned to the country with her son, Li You.
The airport terminal was packed with people just before the Spring Festival. Li Dong looked away for a moment, and Li You, who had been at her side, vanished.
Frantically searching, she spotted a small figure in the distance weaving through the crowd and running toward a man about to leave the terminal. He wrapped both arms around the man's leg and looked up at him, seeming to call him Daddy.
Li Dong's heart skipped a beat.
The man turned around, revealing a refined, aloof face.
Li Dong pushed through the crowd and stopped in front of Huo Yuheng, panting. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, took Li You's hand, and apologized. "I'm sorry. He mistook you for someone else."
Then she crouched down to reassure Li You. "He's not your daddy. He just looks like him."
Huo Yuheng glanced at her, said nothing, and turned to leave.
As if they had never known each other, as if all that reckless passion had never happened.
2.
Huo Yuheng, the eldest son of the Huo family, came from an illustrious background and was famously cool and indifferent. He had turned down countless society girls, so no one expected him to help raise someone else's child.
Least of all the child of the ex-girlfriend who had abruptly dumped him four years ago.
At the kindergarten family sports day, little Li You took Huo Yuheng by the hand and solemnly introduced him to his best friend. "This is my third dad. He can do 50 push-ups while carrying Mom!"
His friend gasped. Then, puzzled, he asked, "Why is he your third dad?"
Li You replied, "My real dad and my second dad weren't around, so I brought my third dad!"
His friend nodded in admiration. "You're amazing. You have three dads!"
Then he turned to Li Dong. "You're amazing too, Auntie!"
Finally, he sighed. "I only have one dad."
"My mom is the most amazing!" Li You declared proudly, puffing out his little chest. He patted his friend's shoulder to comfort him. "Having one dad is great too!"
He didn't have to learn to keep everyone happy at such a young age, the way Li You did.
Nearby, Huo Yuheng lowered his gaze to the mark visible on the side of Li Dong's neck. Leaning close to her ear, he asked, "Do those two know we're living together?"

Later, the man who rarely posted on social media started acting completely out of character.
One friend couldn't take it anymore. "Come on, Huo Yuheng. Usually it's the moms posting pictures of the kids. Why are you the one posting? Twelve photos of your son in seven days. Are you serious?"
Another friend took it in stride. "That's what happens when you get a son of your own."
-Huo Yuheng's life had two colors: the muted winter gray of the years after Li Dong left, and the vivid brilliance of Li Dong herself.
Gentle and cool x devoted and obsessive

Reader Advisory:
1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced; one-on-one romance; neither has been with anyone else during their breakup.
2. There's a lot of kid content. Please skip if that's not your thing.
Premise conceived in February 2025, refined and revised in October and December 2025.
The companion novel, Autumn in the Capital, is now underway.
1.
Shen Huaijing was a famous young aristocrat in Beicheng, born into a powerful family and beyond anyone's reach.
Shen Nanshu was an unknown actress from a down-on-her-luck family who had no choice but to enter the entertainment industry.
At a dinner party, an investor slipped her a hotel key card. Desperate to get out of the situation, Shen Nanshu claimed she belonged to Shen Huaijing. The room fell silent. She fled in embarrassment, only to run straight into the real Shen Huaijing outside.
After a few rounds of pushing and pulling, Shen Huaijing gave a derisive laugh. "You just said you were mine, and now you're clinging to me so eagerly. Shen Nanshu, how come you ran so fast when I asked you to marry me?"
Later, the two agreed to keep their marriage secret for three years. When she asked why he'd chosen her, he simply said she was a good fit.
2.
Shen Huaijing was considerate, charming, handsome, and rich. When a friend asked Shen Nanshu if she was falling for him, she shook her head.
A man from a powerful family was already hard enough to reach. And with their marriage set to last only three years, rather than pine for his affection, she would use his influence to climb to the top.
Until the day Shen Huaijing came to visit her on set, just as the leading man was rehearsing the next day's kissing scene with her.
Shen Huaijing crossed his long legs and settled casually into a black sofa, gesturing politely. "Please, carry on."
But his faintly amused gaze never left them.
The leading man didn't dare continue and made an excuse to leave.
With interest, Shen Huaijing picked up the script and skimmed it. Then he pulled Shen Nanshu onto his lap. "I'll rehearse with you."
They went over the kissing scene ten times in a row.
3.
Later, on her birthday, she was alone, quietly crying. Shen Huaijing rushed to her from a thousand miles away, bringing a cake he'd made with his own hands.
He leaned down to wipe away her tears and lit a sparkler for her. "What else do you want? I'll pluck the moon from the sky and give it to you. Don't cry, okay?"
The sparkler's light fell across his gentle profile, and the moon was rising behind him.
At that moment, Shen Nanshu thought that the simple sparkler in her hand shone more brilliantly than the spectacular fireworks he'd set off for her on New Year's Eve.
[Bonus Scene]:
When their three-year secret-marriage agreement came to an end, Shen Huaijing was trying to figure out how to persuade his wife to go public. He woke up one morning to find that she'd left a divorce agreement and run away.
Cornered in the dressing room, Shen Nanshu clasped her hands together. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have slept with you on a whim."
The man curled his lips into a smile and stepped closer. "Then keep doing it on a whim. Do it every night. Otherwise, I'll expose you for using me and then tossing me aside after taking everything you wanted."
"...How about three more years?"
"So you never planned to take responsibility for me, did you?"
After a long silence, Shen Huaijing conceded with a nod. "In three years, we go public. I want the whole internet to explode."
Flirtatious, shameless aristocrat x alluring actress
Theme: Protecting and loving
Nice! The middle part is really tearful! Two little bitter gourds gave birth to a little melon
I came a little late. I have always been a reader and not very expressive, but I wanted to record this book and leave something behind.
The tone of this book is warm and healing, and the content is biased toward daily life, but the ordinary is true happiness. The theme of this book is also my favorite kind of reunion. Maybe there are a lot of regrets in reality, but I don't like be in the novel. I just hope that lovers will eventually get married. From the third perspective, we knew that Li Li and Huo Yuheng would be together, but from the perspective of the two of them, we might have thought that they would just break up. I am a straightforward person. When I saw the two separated due to a misunderstanding, I would think: Why can't I just explain the matter clearly and keep it in my heart? But as the plot develops, I also start to see the problem from the perspective of Li Li and Mr. Huo. Li Li lived in an orphanage as a child and had no sense of belonging. She hoped to have a happy family in the future. Mr. Huo did not trust the marriage relationship due to family reasons and had no sense of security. Coupled with some things that happened at home during that time, the situation was not very good. Both of them were quite nervous at the time, keeping things in their hearts, not communicating well, and not understanding each other's inner thoughts. If the matter is not resolved, separation is inevitable. After the two reunited, both parties became mature and gradually understood each other's thoughts at the time, so they just talked about it. (I still feel sorry for Li Li and Mr. Huo)
Let's talk about the characters in the book. Every character is very vivid. Let me talk about Li Li first. Although his childhood experience was not very good, he obtained the opportunity to study in a prestigious school through his own efforts and has an excellent resume. But when her information is exposed on the Internet, there will always be doubts, and even various rumors spread. In real life, some people may feel that they are free to express their opinions just by talking casually, but sometimes some passers-by who do not know the truth will believe it. If it spreads over a wide area, even if it is subsequently clarified, the result will not be the same as before, and it will still have a negative impact on the parties involved. Fortunately, Li Li's matter was handled in time. In addition, I feel that Li Li is gentle and tough. Choosing to protect wild animals requires accumulating a lot of professional knowledge. He often travels to the field and his income is not that high. But Li Li still insisted on this line of work and made certain achievements. She also has a strong learning ability and can speak English, French, Japanese, Korean and other languages. I admire her for being exposed to several of them but still not learning anything. Next is Baby Youyou, it's really cute. Baby Youyou is polite, has high emotional intelligence, is very curious and lively. (Baby Youyou's lovely character definitely requires a lot of thought.) As for Mr. Huo, on the surface he is a cold and unsmiling CEO, but he is also very humorous and sometimes what he says is quite interesting. He is also a "jealous person" who clings to Li Li, and will deliberately prevent Youyou Baobao from getting close to Li Li's hot searches. There is also something I like in the book - the linkage, and I saw Jiang Mo and Jin Xingjian again, the CP in another book. Appearing together with my friends Shen Huaijing, Shen Nanshu, and Chen Songnian is really a blessing. Everyone is the protagonist of their own life, and they are living a good life in places we can't see. There is also Yanxi, who is warm and humorous, sincere and kind. I will always be moved by what he said to Youyou, "Your father is not here to rob your mother, but to love her with you."
In addition to the plot, there are also some little ingenuity and designs that I like. Sometimes the little expressions you see (although they will be garbled in the text, but you can see them when you open the paragraph comment) feel particularly fitting and super cute. There is also a person involved in wildlife conservation whose name is solar term. I didn't realize this at first, but it feels very meaningful. I took photos to record Youyou's growth. It's very heartwarming to open the growth record later. I can feel that Youyou grew up in love. I didn't really like taking photos before, but later I felt that recording like this could preserve beautiful memories. Then there is the specialness of 10.17. I feel like I think of this warm little story every time on this day. The paragraph commentary is also very interesting. It expresses my inner thoughts. Sometimes even if you don't understand, you can find the answer by reading the paragraph commentary, and you will also see more profound insights.
My thoughts are over. Finally, I hope Xia Xia will take some rest when coding. See you next time [Spread Flowers]
