Wei Jing's mother was called Zhuo Shiyao. She was a typical Jiangnan woman. She was gentle like water and had a tactful personality. She spoke in a delicate voice with a hint of tenderness.
Her mother passed away when she was seven years old. Her father married a new wife and gave birth to a son the following year.
The relationship between stepmother and stepdaughter was always subtle. In addition, a new brother was born. A young life was fragile yet beautiful. He received more attention from her parents than Zhuo Shiyao, who had obviously grown up and matured.
Zhuo Shiyao was sensitive and introverted. She suppressed her emotions. Later, when she was in university, she met Wei Jing's biological father, Chen Kun. Their first love was sour and sweet. It was like Eve's forbidden fruit. Although they knew they shouldn't try it, they couldn't help but reach out to each other.
Chen Kun's personality was the complete opposite of Zhuo Shiyao's. Although he was a little shy, he was cheerful and generous. He was good at studying and sports. In school, many girls had a crush on him.
After he got together with the beautiful Zhuo Shiyao, many boys and girls' hearts were broken.
It could be said that they were a match made in heaven.
However, they didn't expect that after graduation, one of them would go to the prosperous B City, while the other would go back to her hometown, W City. They talked about it again and again, but no one could convince the other. After the talks broke down, they went their separate ways.
Zhuo Shiyao, who felt that she had been abandoned, found an easy job as a clerk. She was an elegant and beautiful woman with a sad face and tears in her eyes. Her beauty was something that even Wei He, who had been through many debauchery, could not resist, let alone a group of young men.
Countless men tried to court her, hinting at her openly and secretly.
Zhuo Shiyao was hurt by love at this time. Moreover, Chen Kun was handsome, gentle, and considerate … With him as a comparison, how could Zhuo Shiyao fall for anyone else?
Until one day, the company's CEO came to inspect the company. He took a fancy to Zhuo Shiyao and transferred her to be his assistant.
It would be great if this was a fairy tale.
The gentle and beautiful Cinderella captured the heart of the prince who had already become an emperor. The two of them ate and lived together. Even a blind person could see the pink bubbles in their eyes. A woman who was immersed in love had her eyes blinded by the beauty in front of her. She couldn't see anything else.
Zhuo Shiyao came to date Wei He with the intention of getting married. She knew that he had a son who was born to his ex-wife. Now that his ex-wife had passed away, her heart ached when she thought of her past. She swore that she would definitely treat the child well.
Half a year later, Wei He had an affair. The other illegitimate children came to Zhuo Shiyao to protest.
Only then did she realize how naive she was. Who was she? She was just one of his countless lovers.
However, Wei He was gentle and considerate, granting her every request. He treated her as if she was a real princess, meticulously serving her. She cried and threw a tantrum, demanding that Wei He could only have one person. Every time, Wei He would agree to her demands. He would give in, say sweet nothings to her, and tell her that everyone else was just putting on a show …
Zhuo Shiyao believed him.
However, a lie was a lie. It would be exposed one day. It could be a week, or a month … That little bit of trust in Wei He gradually disappeared.
Meeting Chen Kun again was an accident.
Chen Kun, who didn't have a girlfriend yet, and Zhuo Shiyao, who was heartbroken, had a wonderful first love. Soon, the two of them had sex and were intimate.
Zhuo Shiyao also found someone else outside. She no longer held on to Wei He's affair. She started to be more generous and gentle. Wei He even bought her a set of jewelry worth tens of millions and a small villa.
Zhuo Shiyao didn't dare to tell Chen Kun that she was a kept woman. She wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible.
Until … her belly started to swell up.
She was so scared that she wanted to abort the child. However, Wei He found out. Wei He had always doted on her. He had a lot of lovers, but the one he liked the most was Zhuo Shiyao.
Maybe it was because this woman was too beautiful. He was just a layman. How could he not look at her appearance? Or maybe it was because this woman was too gentle and too fragile. She was like a delicate porcelain that made people want to protect her well.
Wei He was happy to see the existence of this child. He wasn't a fool. During this period of time, he also felt the coldness of this woman towards him.
He was very happy to use a child to tie her down.
At the same time, Chen Kun, who had found out that Zhuo Shiyao was pregnant, proposed to her.
Zhuo Shiyao told him everything with a troubled expression. She didn't know how she had become like this. She couldn't even tell whose child it was in her belly.
Chen Kun left.
He left without a sound.
Zhuo Shiyao continued to live in the small villa that Wei He had given her. She was like a canary who had been pregnant for ten months and was happy to give birth to a baby. Wei He waved his hand and gave her a lot of things.
However, after the child was born, Zhuo Shiyao's mental state was very bad. Very bad. If she had been a delicate porcelain before, she had now become a flower in autumn. After blooming brilliantly, she was slowly withering.
She would cry when she was alone. She would be absent-minded and murmur things that others couldn't understand.
Fortunately, she didn't show any signs of attacking others or hurting herself. Wei He hired a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said that she had postpartum depression and needed time to recuperate. She asked him to accompany her often.
Gradually, Zhuo Shiyao, who had taken up half of Wei He's private time, now took up more than half of his time. Wei He hired a nanny to take care of the mother and son. Once she found that Zhuo Shiyao's condition was wrong, she had to call him.
Wei He valued Zhuo Shiyao more and more. He was willing to coax this woman and watch her act shy and strong in front of him.
Wei Jing grew up in such an environment. When his father wasn't around, his mother liked to be alone. She played a little piano and did yoga. When she had nothing to do, she liked to sit on the deck chair on the balcony and look into the distance. She rarely asked about her son.
Wei He was busy with work. Every time he came over, he was anxious to coax Zhuo Shiyao. He didn't interact much with his son, Wei Jing.
The atmosphere in the family was oppressive. It only felt better when his father came.
Wei Jing, who lived in such a place, was as sensitive as his mother. He was more obedient than other children since he was young. He knew how to eat by himself, play with his own toys, and cry softly like a kitten.
However, at some point in time, his mother's mood slowly became more cheerful.
She started to go out more often and the child was taken care of by the nanny.
She and Chen Kun got together again.
They talked sweet nothings to each other and promised a future. Zhuo Shiyao told Chen Kun to wait. When her relationship with Wei He cooled down, she would break up with him and be with him.
After so many years, Zhuo Shiyao realized that Wei He had a strong desire to control. In addition, he had power. Both she and Chen Kun were afraid of offending him.
However … Zhuo Shiyao's cold treatment didn't lead to a breakup. Instead, she was shocked by his proposal.
