On the day Xiao Yao returned to the capital, she saw Xue Yanzhou in the little courtyard where they had lived four years ago.

Four years ago, he had left without warning while pregnant. Xiao Yao turned the whole capital upside down looking for him, but when she finally found him, Xue Yanzhou's belly was flat and his expression cold.

"The child? I don't want it anymore."

Four years later, the man who so often appeared in her dreams was sitting in the little courtyard where they had once lived. Everything felt like a dream.

He looked at her calmly and spoke in an even tone.

"Xiao Yao, I want a child."

Xiao Yao silently clenched her fists. The wound in her chest hurt so badly it nearly drove her mad.

"Xue Yanzhou, you really are a heartless monster."

A few days later, Xiao Yao grabbed the pale-faced man and pulled him into an empty alley.

In the dim alley, their breaths mingled.

Xiao Yao's eyes were bloodshot as she asked coldly, "You said before that you wanted a child. Do you still mean it?"

"Of course."

She hated the way he looked as if he were barely alive. She lowered her head and bit his lips fiercely.

Since fate had bound them together so tightly, they might as well carry on this madness to the very end.

Only when everything that had happened four years ago gradually came to light did Xiao Yao realize just how terribly wrong she had been.

Moonlight fell across Xue Yanzhou's pale face. The man who had always been cool and self-possessed was trapped in a nightmare of despair.

"I'm sorry..." he murmured in anguish.

Xiao Yao drew him into her arms and stroked his sweat-soaked temples.

"Xue Yanzhou, don't be afraid... I'm here this time."

Everyone in the capital knew the Xue family was seeking a wife to marry into their household.

Xiao Yao pinned Xue Yanzhou to the bed and asked him with a beaming smile, "What do you think of me?"

Xue Yanzhou glanced at her impassively.

"Get up. My back hurts."

"You still haven't answered me!"

Ten days later, not a single one of the dozen or so families invited to the Xue family's matchmaking banquet showed up.

The Third Miss of the Liang family twisted her back, the Second Miss of the Shen family injured her leg, and even the eldest daughter of the Sun family, who had openly declared her affection for Xue Yanzhou, sent an apology letter.

Xue Yanzhou respectfully saluted his mother, without changing expression. "Since no one has come, I'll go check the accounts at the shop."

That night.

Xue Yanzhou lay on the bed, so exhausted he didn't want to lift a finger, while the very person responsible poked his Adam's apple and asked, "There are no rivals now. Can I marry into your family?"

"...Xiao. Yao."

"All right, then. You can marry into my family instead. That's just as good."
