She dumps him / pregnancy after reunion / the male lead is hopelessly in love and wins himself over

1.

Jiang Yinuo once picked up a down-and-out boy in New York.

She took him in, treated him well, taught him how to love, then dumped him, ignoring him as he went mad searching for her.

When they met again, Chen Yinzhou had become a rising star in business.

At an exclusive, invitation-only banquet, she had to work up the nerve to hand him her business card for work, only to be silenced by his gloomy, cold gaze.

Not long afterward.

In a vast room, the man's tall, stern figure loomed over her, blocking her way. He said indifferently, "If you're pregnant, then we'll get married. Why are you running?"

2.

Jiang Yinuo was swept up in a scandal, and the whole internet was flooded with dirt about her.

Her company berated her for being clueless, saying she'd never have another chance with the Wanjun Group.

She blinked and nodded. "Mm, guess we're not meant to be."

The next day, her scandal was suppressed single-handedly by Chen Yinzhou, the Wanjun Group's second young master.

The company's internal reaction: ??? (Can I still suck up to him now?)

3.

She was cornered alone on a rainy night, with gossip reporters and her colleagues staring at her swollen belly.

Chen Yinzhou gently wiped the rain and tears from her face. When she didn't resist, he bent down and scooped her into his arms. "Why are you acting so obedient? Where's that fierce streak you had when you cursed me out at home?"

*"All right, the truth is, there hasn't been a moment all these years when I didn't miss you."

[Smiling schemer, stunning beauty who finds it hard to fall in love, reformed playgirl x aloof, refined hotel-group heir in public, heartbroken after being dumped; devoted puppy to his wife in private, reunited couple]

2. Younger man, non-virgin female lead and virgin male lead; the female lead is the male lead's first love.

4. The reason for the pregnancy will be explained later. It's needed for the plot and involves fiction and a conspiracy. Getting pregnant outside marriage is not encouraged in real life. Please don't imitate it.

- See my author page for the new story -

The handsome man I had pinned to the floor in the funeral hall that year, who'd cried in my arms, later became a nationally famous superstar, the focus of everyone's attention. His ads played across the giant screens downtown;

The bright, sunny boy I'd taken from a trash can and raised with all my heart later became a fixture in the financial news, a ruthless, ambitious man feared by all, pulling strings and making rival business empires crumble with a snap of his fingers;

The man who had been the gentlest, most thoughtful person in so many people's hearts, and who stayed by my side for two years, lost both his legs and spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

I'm ordinary, and I'm lucky.

They always say that beneath my disgraceful reputation lies a pure and exquisite heart.

But I think that if there's a next life, I'll stay far away from you rich young masters.

Yet I know you won't let me go.

The day of the fire, I heard him apologize.

Heaven hasn't treated me unfairly. I've been reborn.

Maybe this time, I can rewrite their fates.

But we must not have a story together again.

After Xie Sibo arrived here, he was still the sort of person everyone admired and no one could reach.

He began interfering in Mi Rui's affairs for just one reason:

He wanted to find out why his future self would marry her.

Besides, his future self didn't look cool at all. Not only did he have the whole devoted-husband vibe, he also seemed ruthless when it came to catching his wife cheating, now that he'd climbed to the top.

How strange.

Even though, so far, he wasn't the least bit interested in someone like her.

1. The male lead has been to the future.

2. The female lead never met the male lead in her previous life.

3. Happy ending.

Theme: Love that gives each other a place to lean is a glimmer of light in the abyss and a shoulder that helps us grow.
