Six years ago, he had been deeply in love with a woman. But when his life was turned upside down, she vanished without a trace.
Six years later, he saw a mother and child on a familiar street. The woman holding the child’s hand had the very face he had never forgotten in all those six years.
…
“What does a 99.99% genetic match between two people mean?” He gazed at her, his expression calm.
“It means they’re blood relatives,” she replied indifferently.
He pulled out a test report and tossed it in front of her, enunciating every word. “Since you know that so well, explain to me how my son and I could be blood relatives.”
Clutching the report, she turned pale and instinctively denied it. “He isn’t your son!”
He gave a cold laugh and braced his hands on either side of her, his eyes full of icy shards. “Qiao Ansheng, you think you can marry someone else with my son? Did you ask for my permission?”

His friends all told him, “Mu Qinghuai, your little wife only married you for your money. You should keep an eye on her.”
Looking at the makeup-free photo in his wallet, he sometimes wished she really had married him for his money. If she wanted something from him, at least she would give something in return. Instead, they were now little more than strangers.
“They don’t understand. I’ve always been the one forcing this marriage on you… If you really wanted something from me, you’d be asking me to set you free.”
…
His mother laid what she called evidence in front of him and said, “Mu Qinghuai, so this is the wonderful wife you chose. She’s been fooling around with another man behind your back!”
Watching his mother’s theatrics, he couldn’t help laughing.
He had always known that his wife loved another man with all her heart. The day that man died, her heart died with him.
“You don’t even want to love me. Why would you fool around with another man?”
He stroked her bare face, his warm smile touched with sorrow.
The moment she lowered her eyes, she asked herself, had she really stopped wanting to love? Even she didn’t know when looking at this man had started to make her heart ache.
…
Mu Qinghuai had known from early on that he was destined to lose his heart to that woman.
Only later did Qiao Ansheng realize that no matter how hard you push some people away, even after all the storms have passed, they’re still there.
She couldn’t match his ruthlessness, and she couldn’t outlast his patience. From the moment he fell in love with her, it was inevitable that she would sooner or later become helplessly lost in the tenderness he gave her.

Oh my, can I just say this is actually a heartwarming story? He spoils her rotten, right?
