Before I Forget [Complete]

【Main story complete】 Powerful man finally bows his head / reserved, privileged young master from Beijing × clear-eyed female student In Jing City, Pei Yunan is a renowned power broker, a young man who rose to the top through ruthless means. His love life is the one area untouched by gossip. Only those close to him know that he once had a young woman by his side. She was still in college, with clear, dark eyes so lovely they were hard to look away from. Most importantly, she was obedient. In the back seat of a car, on a bar counter, in a bathtub, she went along with every unreasonable demand he made. Even when he pushed her too far, she would only hold back tears and softly call his name. Li Shan enjoyed Pei Yunan's one-of-a-kind affection, then kicked him to the curb at just the right moment and disappeared. Pei Yunan was furious. His words were ruthless: “You'd better never come back begging me for anything.” And she really did disappear without a trace. - Five years later. She returns to Jing City to get medical treatment for her daughter. To secure financing for her project, Li Shan has no choice but to swallow her pride and ask Pei Yunan for help. Under the dazzling lights of a banquet, she tries to ingratiate herself, fear showing in her eyes. Pei Yunan stands before her in a suit, aloof and imperious, his eyes cold. “Business?” “Who do you think you are?” Everyone knows how much Pei Yunan hates her. He refuses to discuss a partnership or lend her money, and constantly throws obstacles in her way. One day, a friend calls him. “I think I saw Qiao Lishan at the hospital.” “What do I care?” “She had a little girl with her.” That night, rain pours down. For the first time, the usually dignified and cold CEO Pei loses control. He speeds through the streets at 180 kilometers per hour, only to end up waiting outside an old apartment complex. Rain runs down his jaw as he grits his teeth. “How much longer were you planning to hide our daughter from me?” 【Little scene】 Everyone knows Pei, the cold and ruthless head of Nanyuan Group, has a nasty temper and never treats anyone kindly. When he gets angry, he can make his employees cry. Recently, though, people have noticed Pei Yunan carrying a little girl everywhere he goes. The little girl has two pigtails and strawberry hair clips. She nestles against his shoulder, clutching his tie and refusing to let go. The man, who has always been a neat freak, lets her wrinkle his custom-made suit. He even keeps adjusting her little head so she'll sleep comfortably. His friends invite him out for drinks. Pei Yunan walks in carrying his daughter, looks around the private room, and frowns. “Put out the cigarettes, clear away the alcohol, and turn the music down.” Everyone: “…” One friend can't take it anymore. “If we're not drinking or playing cards, why did you come?” Pei Yunan holds his daughter in one arm, grabs the remote with the other, and expertly puts on Peppa Pig. The little girl snuggles in his arms, completely absorbed in the show. Only then does he say, unhurriedly, “I came to show you all my daughter.” ■ Both leads are virgins, and only each other. ■ Happy ending. ■ Old-school, angsty melodrama. The story will be bittersweet, but the ending is sweet. Best enjoyed without overthinking. ■ This story isn't for readers with extremely high moral standards for either lead, or for extreme fans of either the heroine or hero. Please don't send writing advice. Coming soon: Starry River in Your Eyes, a sweet story about a school bully and a shy girl. Theme: People who try to forget with time will always meet again in the river of time.
