Love in the New Era

Zhou Jiaxin has a live-in boyfriend straight out of a romance drama: handsome, rich, and radiating an aura of abstinence. But he's also cold and has no idea how to love someone.

After five years of living together, Zhou Jiaxin hasn't felt even a trace of affection from him.

Lately, she's grown tired of their ambiguous relationship and has been plotting to keep the child and get rid of the father.

At dusk, the sunset spread across the horizon like a blooming rose, almost excessively romantic.

Zhou Jiaxin lifted her foot and slid it up the man's calf.

He pulled her into his arms, holding her ankle as he leaned in close. His eyes were filled with desire, but his voice was cold. "Indulging in pleasure is bad for your health."

Zhou Jiaxin promptly sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. "The doctor said I'm in great health."

He suddenly swept her up and set her on the table. His reaction was intense, his tone firm. "I should go for a run."

Zhou Jiaxin angrily threw a shoe at him. "Then go live with that stupid treadmill!"

He went back to his room and changed. In a white shirt and black track pants, he went from abstinent executive to cool college guy in a second. "I'm going out for a run."

Fuming, Zhou Jiaxin went back to her room and swapped all the little pills for vitamins.

After plotting for half a year, she finally felt nauseated one morning.

The test confirmed it: she was pregnant.

Now that she had a child, she didn't need the jerk anymore.

Zhou Jiaxin promptly broke up with him and moved out that very night.

Nearly half a year passed, and with the baby almost due, the jerk finally showed up at her door.

Looking at Zhou Jiaxin's swollen belly, the man finally lost his composure.
