I Returned with a Baby, and the Chaste Director Shen Bowed Before Me

Power Broker of the Capital × Genius Diplomat | Nurturing Romance | Pregnant Escape | Intellectual Romance At eighteen, Lin Zhifan shattered the carefully guarded world of Shen Yuyan with one incisive question in the auditorium of Peking University. He was the youngest power broker in the capital, cold and ascetic, a walking state secret. She was a brilliant young woman just starting out, kept under his watch in a courtyard behind the red walls. He was her mentor, teaching her the art of political maneuvering and personally honing her into the sharpest blade. When a storm struck, he forced her to leave with their child to keep her safe. Bound by a five-year pact, she disappeared without a trace. Everyone in the capital laughed, saying she was nothing but an abandoned plaything that Third Master Shen had grown tired of. Five years later, amid the shifting tides of Geneva, a specially appointed adviser codenamed “Oriental Rose” burst onto the scene. She brought peace to war zones and calmed international crises, dazzling the world with her extraordinary talent. They met again at the highest-profile international summit. On the banquet terrace, Director Shen, who had always remained unruffled even when the sky fell, stared at the miniature version of himself behind her. For the first time, he completely lost his composure. His eyes reddened, and his voice turned hoarse. “Zhifan, come home with me.” Lin Zhifan took an elegant sip of champagne and gently pushed away the man who wielded power over the entire court. Her smile never reached her eyes. “Minister Shen, you can claim your son. But if you want me to come home, even you will have to get in line and woo me all over again.”
