Mr. Lu Acts Like a Stranger in Public, Then Weeps and Begs Me to Come Back in Private

Since childhood, Shen Zhiyi had never been as sweet-talking or as socially savvy as her twin sister. She carefully tried to please everyone around her, yet was still disliked, until she met Lu Yuheng, the heir of the capital's elite circle.

Born into wealth and privilege, Lu Yuheng was the arrogant darling everyone clamored to win over, the most sought-after husband among socialites. Yet he fell for the unremarkable Shen Zhiyi and even planned to marry her.

Then he discovered he'd mistaken the identity of the person who had saved his life, and decisively broke up with Shen Zhiyi.

Everyone mocked Shen Zhiyi as a thief who had stolen her sister's love. The Shen family was ashamed of her, too, and forced her to leave the country.

Five years later, Shen Zhiyi returned with her child after completing her studies, and work brought her together with Lu Yuheng again.

In public, Lu Yuheng pretended not to know her and made things difficult for her at every turn.

At the annual company party, though, he cornered Shen Zhiyi behind the guests at the turn of the stairs, his eyes red-rimmed. “Zhiyi, I was wrong back then. Please come back to me!”

Shen Zhiyi raised her right hand, the dazzling diamond ring on her finger as large as a dove's egg. “I'm married, and I have a child. Does the dignified President Lu want to be the other man?”

The veins in Lu Yuheng's neck bulged. His dark eyes churned with emotion, but he gritted his teeth and nodded. “If you'll give me a chance, I... I'm willing.”

Shen Zhiyi arched a brow. “But what if I don't want to?”

A little head peeked out beside her and nodded like a chick pecking at grain. “I don't want to either!”
