After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

He longed to have a child with her, a true union of their two lives, not a child born unexpectedly like this.

So, after leaving the new mother and her baby who were still waiting outside the delivery room, he suddenly started to chase after them.

Almost instantly, the elevator display screen switched to the first floor.

After pressing the elevator buttons several times without success, he turned around and ran down the emergency exit.

Li Shulian's anxious voice came from behind: "Si Yuan, Xin Xin is about to be discharged from the hospital. Where are you rushing off to?"

However, Shen Xuan had already walked out of the hospital gate, and Lu Yuchen's car had just stopped in front of the hospital.

Upon seeing the familiar license plate, she calmed down, walked to the car, and smiled as she sat in the passenger seat. "What a coincidence that you just arrived? Were you waiting for me here?" she asked jokingly.

"It wasn't intentional; we just arrived recently."

A bouquet of bright red roses sat beside the seat. Shen Xuan gently picked it up and placed it on his lap, laughing, "Oh! Which beauty are you preparing flowers for this time? Don't tell me you're planning to change your target."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuchen started the car and drove away, a smile playing on his lips as he replied, "How could I dare to do that?"

Just then, Li Siyuan arrived at the hospital entrance and witnessed the familiar car speeding away right in front of him.

The woman sitting in the front seat had a well-defined profile and a radiant smile.

A surge of intense anger welled up inside me, especially my resentment towards the man who drove away.

Why does Lu Yuchen keep appearing?

Seeing this, Lu Yuchen leaned slightly towards the person beside him and asked with concern, "Was the baby born safely?"

"Ah."

She nodded slowly and replied, "A girl."

Then, the gentleman reached out and gently ruffled the woman's hair, while steadily controlling the steering wheel, and said, "Don't overthink it. One day we'll have our own child too."

"Yuchen, you know in your heart that I may not be able to have children in the future. You don't mind, do you?"

She knew very well that it would be very difficult for her to conceive again.

Ever since her last miscarriage, the doctor had told her about this, saying the probability was extremely low.

Otherwise, that child wouldn't have been kept in the first place.

"Even without our own children, we can adopt a baby and live happily together as a family, believe me."

Shen Xuan forced a smile and said nothing more.

She knew perfectly well that the Lu family would never welcome her arrival.

Once she learns that she is infertile, she will probably do everything in her power to prevent her from being with Lu Yuchen.

Whether this relationship is good or bad, and whether it can continue as originally planned, she herself is not sure.

Before we knew it, the car had stopped in front of a hotel.

Shen Xuan was stunned and looked out the car window: "Why did you bring me here?"

He unbuckled his seatbelt and said with a broad smile, "You'll find out soon enough!"

Seeing this, Shen Xuan got out of the car, completely bewildered. Only after entering the hotel lobby did she realize what had happened.

Colorful confetti rained down from the sky, scattering like bamboo shoots after a spring rain on her head. At that moment, a mixture of surprise and emotion welled up in her heart.

The person in front of me suddenly spoke up and said, "Happy birthday..."

Only then did she realize that today was her birthday.

"Xiao Xuan, happy birthday!"

The people around her were either spraying confetti or scattering flower petals in celebration, and this joyful atmosphere instantly washed away her gloom.

Suddenly, Lu Yuchen, holding flowers in his hand, knelt down in front of everyone and proposed to her: "Xiao Xuan, will you marry me?"

Several photographers were snapping photos nearby, vying to grab the headlines.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she looked at him. Although she had just promised Li Siyuan during the day that she would stay away from Yu Chen, this moment was too sudden, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

The people around them began to urge, "Say yes! Say yes quickly!"

"Don't hesitate, Xiao Xuan. Our boss is a super handsome guy who's incredibly difficult to win over. You'll regret it if you miss out."

A recently popular actress pointed out that this person is not only beautiful but also a good actress. The two had met before on set, so she still remembered her face.

"Yes, yes, Sister Xiaoxuan, you've been with the company for so long, you must know the situation. It's so rare that you turned down so many opportunities for me."

That's true; his charming smile alone has captivated many girls, a fact well-known to everyone.

Looking around at the warm and friendly faces, I felt a sense of warmth surrounding me.

Seeing the sincere expectation in Lu Yucheng's eyes, she finally nodded and said she was willing.

She figured that since Li Siyuan had just become a new father, he probably wouldn't have time to care about her. Anyway, she had achieved her initial goal, so her agreement with him didn't matter anymore.

Lu Yuchen helped her put on the ring, and the two embraced tightly.

People around her cast envious glances, and this warm feeling made her feel great.

After the event, Lu Yuchen drove her home.

On the way, she held a large bouquet of roses tightly in her arms.

Lu Yuchen seemed to be in a good mood as well, humming a song as he drove, his fingers lightly tapping the steering wheel.

Shen Xuan turned her head and said softly, "Yu Chen, I think we need to reconsider our relationship."

Her sudden words caused Lu Yuchen, who was in a good mood, to frown slightly.

"What? You want to back out?"

Thinking of the Lu family, especially what his mother had said to her, she didn't want him to get hurt because of it.

"You know what? When I returned to Haicheng, your mother had a talk with me. Guess what she said?"

His hands suddenly tightened around the steering wheel, and his expression changed, but his eyes still held tenderness for her. "So, this is what you're worried about now?"

He seemed to know about the conversation between her and his mother.

"Yuchen, I don't want you to get hurt. Remember last time, when your mother wanted to take you home, I was afraid that something like that would happen again. I don't want our relationship to affect the harmony of your family. I hope to get your family's approval before we get married."

Lu Yuchen took one hand off the steering wheel, leaned against the window, and gently rubbed his chin with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

Last time, in order to be with her, he risked breaking ties with his family and almost had his leg broken.

Ultimately, his mother couldn't persuade her son otherwise, so she let him go. But now the situation is different; they have an agreement.

If she breaks her promise, I really don't know what the Lu family will do to her.

"Don't worry, my mom knows I came back because of you. And if I can't even protect you, what right do I have to bring you happiness?"

The dim yellow light from the window shone on his face, making him appear even more serious and solemn.
