Ji Mingxuan pinched his cheek and said, "Use Chinese." The boy blinked, looking a little wronged, but still stammered, "D-Dad." Shen Mo felt as if he had been slapped in the face. Half his cheek went numb, and he realized just how ridiculous his little hopes had been. How could he have forgotten? Ji Mingxuan was never short of company. At that moment, a well-dressed middle-aged woman came hurrying over. She looked like a nanny. Ji Mingxuan made a gesture for her to step back, then picked the boy…- 75.6 K • Completed
- Shen Mo stared at him, stunned, unable to find his voice. All around them, the noise of the crowd filled the air, the familiar chaos of a foreign land. A few blonde-haired, blue-eyed children were chasing each other nearby. One of them, being pursued, shrieked and ran straight in Shen Mo’s direction. Shen Mo, caught off guard, didn’t think to dodge and was hit. What followed felt like a chain-reaction accident. Shen Mo stumbled back several steps and knocked over a sun umbrella behind him. At the…

- Shen Mo spent the New Year quietly. He gave Yang Yue time off and stayed home, cooking a few dishes for himself and opening a bottle of red wine. But eating alone made even the most exquisite food taste bland. In the end, it felt no different from his usual takeout, just the same quiet, lonely flavor. Before midnight, he went to bed, wrapped himself tightly in a thick quilt, and fell into a deep sleep to the sound of fireworks outside. Once the New Year passed, the beginning of spring followed. Shen…

- Yang Yue wasn’t so easy to fool. Just as she was about to press him further, a car horn honked outside. “Oh, that’s my boyfriend picking me up. I’m off now. Bye-bye, boss.” The moment her boyfriend arrived, Yang Yue waved goodbye, left the so-called old man Shen Mo behind, grabbed her purse, and dashed out the door. Shen Mo watched her leave, then turned around and ordered takeout. His cooking skills weren’t bad, but now that he lived alone, he couldn’t be bothered to put in the…

- His fingers throbbed with a sharp, piercing pain. Shen Mo couldn’t endure it. The pain dragged him out of unconsciousness. He opened his eyes in a daze and was greeted by a world of stark whiteness. White walls, white sheets, white bandages. He stared blankly for a while before realizing he was in a hospital. The memories from before he lost consciousness came rushing back, and his body instinctively curled into itself. He had been kidnapped on his way home. The abandoned warehouse had reeked of…

- Jinxiu Villa… Shen Mo had heard it mentioned a few times before. The first time was from Zhao Yi, who had mistaken him for someone living in Jinxiu Villa. The second was from Old Wang, the driver, who once said that Ji Mingxuan had drunkenly insisted on going to Jinxiu Villa. It wasn’t hard to guess. That house must have been where Ji Mingxuan kept his lover hidden away. So how had it ended up under his name? Could it be that Ji Mingxuan, for the sake of convenience, had bought the whole…

- Half a month later, Shen Mo met with Ji Mingxuan’s lawyer. Back at the hospital, when Ji Mingxuan said those words to him, Shen Mo had already expected this day would come. Whether what Ji Mingxuan said was true or not, the fact that he said it meant there was no going forward for the two of them. What Shen Mo hadn’t expected was that Ji Mingxuan wouldn’t even handle the breakup in person. He simply sent his lawyer to talk to him. Should he say Ji Mingxuan was too rational, or just too…

- Shen Mo had vaguely guessed something before, but hearing Ji Mingxuan say it out loud made him understand why Ji spoiled Ji An'an so much. He had lost his mother at a young age, and his only sister had always been frail and sickly. Naturally, all his tenderness was poured into her. Shen Mo wasn’t good at comforting others, so after thinking for a bit, he said, “Medical science is so advanced now. Heart disease isn’t impossible to treat.” “Yes. An’an had surgery when she was very young,…

- Shen Mo felt as if something had pierced right through him. His whole heart clenched, overcome by a fear he couldn’t quite put into words. He couldn’t help but turn to look at Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang was also looking at him. In each other’s eyes, they both saw panic. Zhou Yang adjusted his glasses and murmured, “It’s fine. I know An’an’s personality. She wouldn’t do anything foolish.” It was hard to tell whether he was trying to comfort Shen Mo or himself. Shen Mo rushed to…

- The smile that Ji An’an usually wore on her face had completely vanished, replaced by a hollow and almost numb expression. Her eyes stared straight at Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang couldn’t even meet her gaze. He blurted out, “An’an…” Shen Mo pushed him aside and said, “An’an, you’ve misunderstood. Actually… I got a text message…” His mind was in chaos. He felt like some lousy male lead in a cheesy romance drama, left to spout flimsy lines in a weak attempt to defend himself. Ji…
