Daily Life with a Secret Marriage and a Child

[Complete! Please leave a five-star review~ A similar upcoming story about rekindled love and a secret child: The Gift of Bikini Bottom]

Blurb:

Lin Ke married financial tycoon Si Yuming at her family’s arrangement. Their marriage was kept secret, and they spent so little time together that they could go a month without seeing each other. Their only connection was their three-year-old daughter, Si Xiaotie.

Recently, Lin Ke transferred to work at Si Yuming’s company, where she happened to overhear some gossip.

“Yesterday, the media caught the Jiang heiress on a date with Mr. Si. Word is, she’s his first love, and they’ve been secretly married for years.”

“I knew it! She has to be the little princess’s mother!”

“You know, they really do look a bit alike.” Her colleague nudged her shoulder. “Lin Ke, you’ve met the little princess, right?”

She had. They didn’t look alike.

--

One day, the boss brought his child to work. Everyone held their breath during the meeting, afraid they might wake the little one sleeping in the lounge.

Half an hour later, a well-rested Si Xiaotie came out rubbing her eyes. Her big, sleepy eyes swept around the room, then she ran straight into Lin Ke’s arms and called sweetly, “Mommy~”

Lin Ke glanced awkwardly at the composed man in a suit at the head of the table, picked up her daughter, and answered gently, “Yes?”

Upcoming story The Gift of Bikini Bottom:

When Wen Jin was seventeen, she transferred to a high school in Beicheng for reasons she’d rather not discuss and moved in with the Lu family, old friends of her father.

The Lu family was one of Beicheng’s most prominent old-money clans, with a long history and a grand household. Their only grandson, Lu Shinan, was an exceptional man, outstanding in every way.

Lu Shinan was always proud and aloof. He looked down on Wen Jin, a distant relative he barely knew, yet he was forever cornering her behind doors and kissing her until her tongue went numb.

The night they parted, rain poured in torrents. A black Koenigsegg loomed nearby like a beast swallowing the darkness, while the rain slashed through the night.

Grinding his teeth, Lu Shinan snarled, “Wen Jin, if you dare leave today, don’t ever think about coming back!”

The woman in the passenger seat remained impassive. She pushed open the door without hesitation and vanished into the summer storm.

Years later, a friend sent him a message:

“Shinan, I have some bad news.”

“Brace yourself.”

“I heard Wen Jin got married.”

“She has a three-year-old daughter.”

…

Wen Jin and Lu Shinan had been entangled for years. No one knew they had once spent their nights together until dawn, and when she left, she disappeared without a word.

When work brought them together again, they silently pretended not to know each other. They didn’t even meet each other’s eyes.

After the meeting, Wen Jin and the person in charge were asked to stay behind.

Her phone kept ringing, and Wen Jin had no choice but to answer. Turning away, she lowered her voice and spoke gently. “I’m still in a meeting. Take the baby to eat first.”

When she turned back after the call, she met a pair of eyes dark with fury.

…

A little scene:

In his youth, Lu Shinan had been unruly, wild, and rebellious. Even after starting work, he remained arrogant, cold, and sharp-tongued. He never needed to swear to insult someone, and every meeting left his employees sweating buckets.

The day he saw his daughter at the kindergarten gate, the timid little girl looked up at him, her bright eyes blinking like a dewy little grape.

For the first time in his life, Lu Shinan was speechless.

A few seconds later, the girl ran into her mother’s arms and whispered, “Mommy, I’m scared.”
