Marrying into a Wealthy Family with a Baby on the Way

[Note: This is a sweet romance, with a witty, lighthearted style!] On their wedding night, they were nothing like an ordinary newlywed couple, all tender affection and passionate kisses. He sipped his drink with elegant poise, his sharp, hawk-like eyes fixed coldly on her. “I never thought someone like you would dare marry into the Ding family. What exactly are you after?” His gaze was dark and chilling, his words icy to the bone. Eight months pregnant, she smiled faintly and answered without a trace of embarrassment. “Money!” That single, softly spoken word instantly shattered the last shred of pity he had for her. “Shameless!” he spat through gritted teeth. “Thank you for the compliment!” She made no attempt to deny it, simply smiling as serenely as ever. Xiang Mei, twenty-eight, is strikingly beautiful on the outside and strong-willed within, yet still gentle. Eight months pregnant, she marries into the wealthy Ding family, even though the child she carries is not Ding family blood. Everyone sides with her husband in name, Ding Ke, and thinks her shameless and cheap. But who can truly see what lies beneath? Tears or laughter? Sorrow or joy? She says, “I don’t need a man in this life. My baby is all I need!” Yet, without even meaning to, she draws one man after another to her... Ding Ke: Thirty years old, general manager of the Yuanmin Group, which runs a famous international supermarket chain. Noble and cold, handsome and commanding, decisive and exceptionally capable, he is one of the most eligible bachelors in high society. He keeps a low profile and has never been linked to anyone, leading many to suspect he is gay. At first, he says, “Woman, we may be married, but I don’t love you! Know your place and don’t try to interfere with me. As long as you understand that, I can satisfy your craving for money!” His sharp tongue, indifference, and contempt hurt her deeply. Later, he says, “Meimei, forgive me. No matter whose child the baby is, I love him. And the only woman I have ever loved in my life is you!” Yang Guang: Thirty years old, president of Yang Manufacturing, one of the top ten companies in the country by total assets. Clever, sly, and devious, Ding Ke’s best friend, he is devastatingly handsome, wickedly charming, and a notorious playboy. Like Ding Ke, he is one of the most eligible bachelors around, but unlike him, his name is always in the gossip columns. Once, he couldn’t stand her: “Are you trying to seduce me? Ha! Sorry, but even if you stripped naked and touched yourself, you wouldn’t stir the slightest reaction in me!” Later, he is hopelessly smitten with her: “Mei’er, if you’re willing, I don’t mind having an affair with you. Who cares about friendship? Love comes first, and everything else can take a back seat!” Shao Yanwen: Twenty-four, a business PhD who has returned from studying in England. Gentle and refined, sunny and cheerful, handsome and sincere, he has been hopelessly infatuated with Xiang Mei ever since she drunkenly approached him. He is utterly devoted to her: “Mei, just say the word and I’ll do anything for you. Even if it means dying, I won’t so much as blink!” The baby: Ding Xiangcao, two years old. A brilliant little darling, beautiful and adorable, clever and precocious, with a bit of a mother complex. The baby says: From the moment Cao Cao was just a fertilized egg, he had already decided that Mommy belonged to him. You uncles think you can get a piece of her too? Sorry, no way!
