Popular actress Qiao Qin has two things troubling her lately.
First, paparazzi photographed her holding a child, and the picture made the trending list. The topic of her having a child out of wedlock refuses to die down.
Second, the child's father is standing right outside her door.

Qiao Qin had been secretly in love with Wen Zheran for years. After finally getting him to marry her, she found that no matter how intimate they were, their day-to-day relationship remained lukewarm.
After learning she was pregnant, Qiao Qin decisively asked for a divorce.
She thought that rather than slowly wearing their feelings away over a long marriage of polite detachment, she might as well take a miniature version of Wen Zheran and run away together.
And so, two peaceful years passed, and Qiao Qin's career gradually took off.
As luck would have it, after seeing the trending topic, her ex-husband, who hadn't appeared in her life at all during those two years, suddenly started clinging to her.
He washed dishes, mopped floors, and hung up laundry.
He took care of every chore, but when she asked what he was really after, he went back to his old quiet, reserved ways.
Until one day, Qiao Qin happened to glimpse the search bar on his phone: Where do moms usually hide a one-year-old baby's toothbrush?

Wen Zheran has never been good at expressing his feelings.
Even when he helped Qiao Qin pay off an enormous debt at the lowest point in her life, all he could do was cautiously ask whether they could get married.
He thought he'd forced this marriage on her, so the moment he saw the divorce papers, he could only assume he had been selfish and stolen several years of Qiao Qin's youth.
Until he saw a picture online of Qiao Qin holding a child.
The child looked a lot like Qiao Qin, so by extension, he was very fond of the little one.
Qiao Qin had never told him how she felt, and neither of them was the sort to cross the line. But this time, an audacious thought suddenly popped into Wen Zheran's head:
What if the child was his?

Theme: Cherish the person by your side
The heroine doesn't look like someone who has been in the entertainment industry. Her problem-solving skills are like those of a student.
This plot is so disgusting. The female protagonist must be like this, and the male protagonist comes to save her?
Doing such a frustrating thing just to break the heroine's pillar and ask the hero to give it to her?
It's inexplicable that the heroine, a big star, can have no money, so she has to rely on the male protagonist for everything.
[Transformed] The heroine actually forgave the person who slapped her in the face in public, and it was for the hero!!! My retribution for staying up late reading novels has come
It's already 20 chapters, and it's actually dumb literature [question mark]
I can't understand what the author wants to write, and I thought it was a sweet article [rolls eyes] I really owe it
"She is too young, how young..." This is a big bug for the author~ The author can use some snacks! Didn't they just separate for two years? Isn't Qiao Qiao 29 now? This is too outrageous 💔
