A Bittersweet Affair

【Brooding, ruthless, and uneducated × soft-hearted, cultured beauty】 Sophomore year was the darkest time of Min Yao’s life. Her parents died in a car accident, her grandmother was hospitalized, and the heavy emotions weighing on her left her struggling to breathe. That was also the year she met Yuan Ye. From then on, passion consumed them, and she fell into a feverish summer romance. Yuan Ye was born unwanted. His mother ran off as soon as he was born, and his father did nothing but gamble, never bothering to raise him. Min Yao was the only thing in his broken life he wanted to pursue. They made love desperately in an expensive rented apartment and promised to stay together forever. Just when their love was at its most intense, Min Yao left for a foreign country without a word, cutting off all contact with Yuan Ye. By the time she returned, Yuan Ye had made a name for himself and had a beautiful fiancée by his side. Knowing she shouldn’t get involved, Min Yao kept backing away, but Yuan Ye pressed closer at every turn. The man held Min Yao tight in his arms, biting her earlobe as he ground out, “By day, you’re a respected teacher. At night, you can only be my secret lover, Yuan Ye’s.” To escape her twisted relationship with Yuan Ye, Min Yao agreed to pretend to be a couple with someone else. But she fell into his fiancée’s trap, and after a one-night stand, she became pregnant with another man’s child. Yuan Ye dropped to one knee and clung to Min Yao’s legs. “She and I are just a business arrangement. Please, don’t leave me.” “Can I be the father of the baby you’re carrying?” A Small-Town Love Affair in 2003
