In just six months, Liang Weining became a “favorite” of Mr. Chen, a financial titan in Hong Kong. Outsiders said she’d risen through the ranks on her looks, and that even the finest decorative vase would eventually be discarded once its owner grew tired of it. So everyone waited to see what would happen. They waited a full three years, until news finally broke that Liang Weining had been dismissed.
Just as the entire upper crust assumed Liang Weining was a thing of the past, no one knew that on the eve of Lunar New Year, an entertainment reporter had captured an intimate scene. In a black business car parked below the headquarters of Zhonggang, the rear window was halfway down. Mr. Chen, usually so dignified and self-controlled, had lost control for once, gripping the young woman’s chin and kissing her fiercely amid the shifting shadows.
The night the photo came out, heavy snow fell on the eastern outskirts of the capital.
Inside a hillside villa, the fireplace blazed. In its warm glow, the man held the girl’s delicate hand from behind and taught her to write on rice paper: Chen Jingyuan.
“When are you going to make it public?” he asked in a low voice.
As soon as he spoke, her phone lit up. An exclusive entertainment headline from the Hong Kong media appeared on the screen again. Liang Weining stared at the news, fretting. “Let’s wait a little longer.”
Chen Jingyuan’s voice turned low. “What are you worried about?”
“My dad’s blood pressure has been unstable lately.”
Years later, Mr. Chen was interviewed by the media and asked about his private life.
Reporter: “What was the biggest obstacle you faced when pursuing Mrs. Chen?”
Mr. Chen was silent for a few seconds, then smiled faintly. “My father-in-law’s blood pressure.”

Small opinion
It's really good! I was immediately captivated! However, I felt Chen's character was too perfect, while the female lead was more clear-headed and well-rounded. The female lead seems slow to warm up, but she's not incapable of feeling love. However, she lacks sufficient planning and control over her future, leaving the initiative in the male lead's hands. Her life direction isn't clearly defined, so the relationship with the male lead is always a bit of a tug-of-war, which is a little disappointing. It feels like a female-centric story, but in reality, she's still controlled by the male lead and lacks survival skills. It's important to understand the values and guidance the author wants to convey to modern women. The female lead's family doesn't seem to lack security; she's just ambitious. How will she balance family and career? I think the female lead and Director Zhuang could be a good match; they're quite compatible and better suited to build an empire together. The male lead is already successful, and the female lead feels constrained and restricted in his relationship.
I really like this female lead: she's smart but not arrogant, principled yet flexible, self-loving and confident, and loyal and righteous.
Tonight's update time is around 11 PM.
My darlings, as the title says, if you can't wait, go to bed early.
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! 😍😍😍
The female lead's personality, lifestyle, behavior, and ability to react to emergencies are not like those of a high-ranking secretary.
After following this for so long, I'm really reluctant to say goodbye. Will the next story be about Zhou Shao and Yunzhen, or Meng Shao and his niece?
Is this the only book by the author? Are there any other books to replace it? 😭
Hopefully, this is not the end, and life must go on.
When you finish reading it, I believe you'll see Ningning and Mr. Chen again~ and Zhenzhen too. I hope you'll be happy when you see it next time (●°u°●)" Ahhh!!! Keep going, author!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!! May you be happy every day!!! 😁 And thank you for your hard work typing this out!!! 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
Well, the beginning was alright, but the female lead became a bit pretentious later on. Her personality felt inconsistent; at the beginning, she seemed bright and decisive, but after getting together with the male lead, she came across as somewhat affected.
Replenish
Some of the work within the company is more exciting, which I find to be a unique feature and very interesting, but the downside is that it's a bit empty and the pace is slightly slow...
