[It was only because I looked at you one extra time that night. From then on, I was doomed!]
Wen Feixin once loved Nan Lichen deeply, even though he had never remembered who she was.
On a stormy night, she stood alone outside the Nan family gates. The butler respectfully relayed his words: “Miss Wen, the young master says this money is for you. He hopes you won’t appear in front of him again.”
The light in her hopeful eyes went out in an instant. Rain washed over her frail frame. What she hadn’t said was: I’m carrying your child.
She didn’t want to use the baby to tie him down. She only wanted to tell him.
For her mother’s sake and to protect the Wen family’s reputation, Miss Wen, pregnant before marriage, was forced to marry the famous Second Master Mu of Ludao.
He was famous for one reason: he was blind.
Seven years passed in the blink of an eye.
She became an unknown business manager at a small company. Then he suddenly appeared as her new boss, barging into her life with an overbearing air and telling her, “Marry me, and I’ll give you everything you want.”
It was both a command and a threat.
By then, she had given up the Wen surname and changed her name to Leng Feixin. Even her heart was as cold as her surname, like ice that would never melt.
She smiled faintly. “Young Master Nan, I’m a divorcee.”
He teasingly pinched her pointed chin. As if meeting her for the first time, he narrowed his eyes and looked her up and down like merchandise being appraised, a mocking smile curving his lips. “The woman I want is a divorcee with a child.”
She smiled softly and said nothing. In the end, she still signed a two-year marriage contract.
Only later did she learn that all he really wanted was a divorcee with a child.
That woman could have been Leng Feixin, or any other woman.
**
Much later, she left his world decisively and disappeared without a trace.
He searched for her like a madman, whispering in her ear again and again, “Feixin, I love you… I love you, Feixin.”
Only then did the young master of the Nan family, who had always controlled everything, finally understand that some things, once missed, could never be relived.
How could a heart that had turned cold ever burn again?

[Bonus scene]
Father’s Day.
Someone waited eagerly for his son to give him a present.
The little boy glanced disdainfully at the hopeful creature called “Father” and said smugly, “You brought me into the world without my permission, and you never raised me. Why should I give you a present?”
The man ground his teeth as he argued, “What do you mean without your permission? Of the tens of millions of sperm, you were the one most eager to be born. If you didn’t want to be born, you should’ve swum slower!”
The little boy: “…”
Leng Feixin: “…”
