The warm tea had been served, but my biological father’s well-wishes went on for quite a while. He fussed, saying he felt relieved seeing the two of us getting along, that he had a feeling we’d be hearing some good news soon. I gave half-hearted responses. My stepmother watched the mood and threw in a few indifferent remarks. Baek Mugyeong didn’t touch his tea and sat silently.

Since Baek Mugyeong had to go to work during the week, the wedding shoot was naturally scheduled for Sunday. Thanks to the wedding…

- Prologue The moment I laid my heavy body on the bed, consciousness slipped away in an instant. The shock of manifesting as an omega for the first time in 24 years, followed by a sudden pregnancy, had completely thrown my body out of balance. My memories would cut out in patches, I’d collapse unconscious, drift in and out of shallow sleep over and over. This was another one of those times. I’d practically blacked out from exhaustion but couldn’t fall into proper sleep. My confusion and…

Chapter 9: A Chance Encounter at the Bar All the buildings at the Linjiang complex were one apartment per floor. That day, Shen Hechuan had just casually brushed off Wu Huilan’s question without giving it much thought. He didn’t expect it to backfire so soon—and for her to even spot the little bear slippers that Qiao Le had worn. Thinking back to how Qiao Le had mentioned wanting to buy a matching pair, Shen Hechuan thought that if he’d known this would happen, he might as well have just…- 182.5 K • Completed
- Chapter 8 – All Alone Yang Mu stared between Qiao Man and Qiao Le, clearly stunned—especially when he realized they really did look a bit alike. But Qiao Le looked so young. How could he possibly have such a big son? Still clinging to a bit of hope, Yang Mu asked Qiao Man, “Little one, who are you calling daddy?” Yang Mu had only started coming to the bar last month. At the time, Qiao Man had still been staying with their aunt in the countryside, so Yang Mu had never met him and…

- Extra: If They Had Met in College 4 The others didn’t know how close Shen Hechuan and Qiao Le were. Seeing Pei Wenjing teasing him, they joined in, joking that back on welcome day they’d told Shen Hechuan to stay longer to meet Qiao Le, but he didn’t budge. Back then, Qiao Le and Shen Hechuan hadn’t even met yet. It was normal for him not to stick around.

- Chapter 7: The 8,000-Yuan Slippers To Qiao Le, even friends should return kindness with kindness—let alone someone he wasn’t even close to. He could accept the offer to share the pizza, but not enjoy it guilt-free. Shen Hechuan seemed to pick up on that and didn’t argue. He walked to the coffee table, brought out his phone, and pulled up a payment code. “Just half is fine. I had some too.” Qiao Le quickly transferred the money. “Done.” The food was delivered, the meal was eaten,…

- Extra: If They Had Met in College 3 Amid the indescribably awkward atmosphere, Wu Huilan took the initiative and said to the old man, “Dad, didn’t you say you were going to play chess with a friend? What are you doing here?” “I was just passing by and thought I’d stop in for a look,” Old Mr. Shen made up an excuse. “What about you two? Didn’t you say you weren’t coming?” “We were just passing by too,” Wu Huilan nudged Shen Zhenghe with her elbow. “Right? Just passing…
