In the clothing store, Zhi Rou smiled from ear to ear. Honestly, Mr Zhao, I’ve been staring at your son since I met him. That mole on your nose is exactly the same as the one Yuan Rui has. To think that father-in-law already knows about us? I wonder what he’ll do about it.

Zhao Shaotian walked into Yuan Rui’s office unannounced. He opened the door slowly and saw that his son was on his phone texting with a smile on his face. Zhao Shaotian looked at his son stunned. He stood at the door silently watching his son smile at the device. It suddenly rang in his hand and he answered it with a smile, “Okay its final, I’ve registered his name as Zhao Shaotian.”
Hearing the same name being called, his heart shuddered, was he talking to Zhi Rou? Yuan Rui continued laughing. He sat up in his wheelchair and looked up. Seeing his father standing there he froze. “I-I’ll call you back,” he said and ended the call.

Zhi Rou was sitting in Yuan Rui’s office behind his desk. The laptop she was given was connected to the wifi. She typed in a website she knew of and smiled when she saw the many options the website provided. She created an account with her name Zhao Zhi Rou and added her account number from the bank card she received from Yuan Rui. The bank card and laptop weren’t the only things she received, Yuan Rui gave her a mobile phone too that needed some time to figure out how to use properly.The website she was visiting was one that provided all the essential artwork needed for a classroom such as individual abc cards, colour and shape cards. Individual birthday A4 sheets, a height measuring wall chart and more. She chose to decorate the baby’s room with all of these charts and cards for it to be more stimulating for the little one.There were many options as she was browsing through the sites making feel overwhelmed. She finally decided on choosing the owl
That night, Zhi Rou walked into Yuan Rui’s room wearing lace underwear with a silk nightgown wrapped around her waist stopping at her thighs. Her hair was hanging loose over her right shoulder, her hands were moving up and down are arms as she rubbed body butter into her skin.Yuan Rui had just gotten out of the shower and was still in his bathrobe drying his chest in his room in the wheelchair. His head shot up when he heard the door open. Startled at first when he saw Zhi Rou walk in but then he realised that she wasn’t looking at him and was looking at her arms as she rubbed them.Zhi Rou walked into the room with a light smile on her face. She stopped rubbing her left arm and smelt it. She loved the smell of coconut body butter and had been using it for a few years now. Yuan Rui himself had gotten used to smelling the coconut on her body finding it pleasant.Zhi Rou stopped walking and looked around the room for Yuan Rui. When her eyes landed on
Zhao Nianzhen thrust deep into Jiang Hui Yin who clawed her hands down his back leaving bloody marks. They both climaxed together ending with a deep passionate kiss. Getting up on his knees, Zhao Nianzhen pulled his limp member out of her and took off the condom filled with his seed. Tying the condom into a knot he chucked it in the bin beside the bed then got into bed with Jiang Hui Yin wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her in.He kissed her head as she settled in happily beside him. The two of them were deeply in love but both were greedy. In the beginning, Jiang Hui Yin loved Yuan Rui which was unrequited until later when Yuan Rui finally agreed to go out with her. He grew to love her and only her which made her so happy since she was now getting spoilt by him. She wanted to be Mrs Zhao Yuan Rui until one faithful night. But before then, Zhao Nianzhen who had a girlfriend while the two were madly in love found out that he was being three timed by his girlfriend. H
Unaware of everything around him, Yuan Rui was sitting and waiting in an office in the hospital which contacted Zhi Rou about the baby. He was waiting patiently with the social worker to return with the baby so that he could see him. He was secretly meeting the child for the second time since Zhi Rou mentioned him. He tapped his finger nervously on the armrest of the chair. The door creaked open slowly and in walked the social worker with the baby cradled in his hands. Turning his head, he saw the baby wrapped in a blanket and gently took him from the social worker, “Thank you,” he said with a smile. Zhao Shaotian was asleep. He looked down lovingly at the child wondering why he was so small. “As you can see Mr Zhao, your son is asleep right now, shall we proceed with what you wanted to say to me?” The social worker was surprised the day before when billionaire Zhao Yuan Rui came into his office. He wasn’t accompanied by anyone and told him that he was here t
The child that they took as their own was now flourishing and the family loved her dearly. Yuan Rui was pitiful, he really had everything and still has everything but why did he feel he had nothing? Thinking for a moment his mind wandered. He was a good judge of character and in these two times he met with Mr Zhao Yuan Rui, he was able to tell that he had no ill intentions. He made up his mind and switched on his computer and clicked on the baby’s birth certificate.Under the identification number, he put down his family name: Zhao.Name: Shaotian.Mother: Zhao Zhi Rou.Father: Zhao Yuan Rui.Printing the document, he handed it to Yuan Rui who was looking at him confused. “Here, take the certificate. He is now Zhao Shaotian and has no right to still be here in the hospital,” he said.Yuan Rui was about to say something but Mr Hong shook his head and placed his finger on his lips. “Who am I to tell a fath
Qing Shan entered the password and opened the door. He walked in and held the door open with the fabric bag in his hands. The house smelled of fried food and spices. He followed behind Yuan Rui and went to the kitchen. Placing the bag down, he stood to the side.Zhi Rou turned around when they came into the kitchen and looked at her husband. He had Shaotian cradled in his left arm and was looking up at her. Shaotian fell asleep five minutes before they arrived at home. Zhi Rou took off her apron and knelt down in front of the wheelchair looking at her son. She caressed his cheek with her finger and smiled, “He's beautiful isn’t he?”“Thank you,” Yuan Rui said. Zhi Rou looked up at him. Her expression became blank before she beamed at him, “I know right? Aren’t I the best wife in the world?”Yuan Rui chuckled and shook his head, “Of cause, you are otherwise, why did I choose you?” Zhi Rou scoffed and too
Yuan Rui nodded his head. Thinking for a moment an idea popped into his head, “Can we go for pottery classes and have his hands and feet printed onto them, I’d also like a cup with his handprints and maybe we could also…” Shaotian’s cry came through the monitor.Yuan Rui wanted to rush to fetch him but he was stopped by Zhi Rou, “I understand that you are excited to be a father but if you get too excited you might end up hurting yourself and the baby. Let it be, I’ll go fetch him and I’ll teach you okay?”He nodded unwillingly and watched her leave. Am I really that useless? I want to be his father and do everything because I am useless? Maybe this was a mistake.Zhi Rou stepped into the living room with her son in hand and looked at her husband. She shook her head. His hands were balled against his thighs. She noticed this fact a while back, whenever he had any bad thoughts, he’d ball hi
Zhao Shaotian arrived at the mall and went undercover. He walked towards the baby mart store stopping in his steps when he saw his son in the wheelchair dressed casually with his son strapped to him in a teal coloured baby sling wrap. Yuan Rui had a black mask covering his nose and mouth and wasn’t so easily recognized but Zhao Shaotian knew his son and that specially made wheelchair of his.He entered the store and immediately heard the couple bickering, “Honestly husband, just because you have money doesn’t mean that we have to buy everything in bulk. How many times do I have to say it before you’ll understand? You need to have patients as a parent and understand that your son will grow continuously. We need a lot but not the whole store!” Zhi Rou complained.“I know, I just want you and Shao to have everything ahead of time since I don’t want you leaving the house unnecessarily.” Yuan Rui groaned.Zhi Rou burst
A few years later…With the children all grown up and making life horrible for both mother and father always constantly fighting.The doorbell rang one Saturday morning.Zhi Rou walked over to open it and saw the courier with a bouquet of flowers. She signed for it and walked in while she yelled, “Yuan Rui! You have a gift.”He walked down the steps with his phone in his hands and looked at her, confused. “Flowers? From who?”She shrugged and handed him the flowers and crossed her hands the moment he took them. He looked around for the card and peaked at his wife, who had a frown. Placing the flowers down, he opened the envelope and took the card out.
Zhi Rou was out busy with the company work, and the children were at a private school. Yuan Rui was left at home because he no longer wanted to work. He was sitting in the den watching a movie. Jiang Hui Yin walked into the house from the back looking for something to eat when she heard the sound of a gun going off. She went to the kitchen first to make herself something to eat, but then she heard a laugh that she hadn’t heard in a long time. Her heart skipped a beat, recalling how they used to spend time together and loved each other. Thinking about it, she wondered when she stopped loving him. She took in a deep breath and went to him with a sandwich for him, too. Yuan Rui immediately looked at her, shocked when
It has been a few days since Jiang Hui Yin moved in with them. She kept to herself, although she did not want to. Things between Yuan Rui and his wife were tense, as she would bite his head off for every little thing.Zhi Rou held lunch and invited someone who they’d least expected.Zhao Nianzhen stood at the door at a loss. He wasn’t sure what to do or what to say and it was not like he had a guilty conscience, it's just that he betrayed everyone and he was not sure how they were going to act when they saw him.He rang the doorbell, and the butler opened it. To his surprise, Nianzhen smiled at him awkwardly and asked, “Am I late for lunch?”He shook his head. “No, you are not.”He walked i
“So you honestly expect us to live in the same house as the person who tried to kill YOUR husband?!” Zhao Ming Ling screeched.Zhi Rou looked at her and nodded her head. Zhao Shaotian stood behind his daughter and stared at Zhi Rou. His gaze flicked over to his son and he asked, “Did you agree to this?”Yuan Rui pulled his hands out of his pockets and walked away. He was not happy about this whole situation, but his wife enjoyed playing games. Little Shao followed behind his father while Zhi Ling was crawling around.Zhi Rou had the baby in her arms and her son was not happy about it, giving her the silent treatment. Zhi Rou handed the child to Jiang Hui Yin and said, “I am sure you know your way to the servants’ quarter.”“My child and I will not sleep in the servants’ quarters!” She growled at her.Zhi Rou stepped up into her personal space and said in a low voice,
Yuan Rui saw Jiang Hui Yin walking out of the prison doors and climbed out of the car. She looked at him, surprised when she saw him. She was just released from prison with no information and seeing him in front of her, everything made sense.She smirked inwardly, thinking, ‘You are such a fool.’ She smiled at him as she stopped in front of him. Looking into his eyes she said, “I knew you would come for us.”He stared at her momentarily, then looked down at the baby boy in her arms. He took the child from her, confusing her. She also wanted to protest, but then thought that it would be best not to make him angry.He looked at her and saw that she had an uncomfortable expression on her face and said, “I only dropped the charges because you can’t raise this child in prison.” He walked back to the car, climbing in at the back and closed the door.She thought he was going to leave her behind and
Zhi Rou sighed and stared at the wall her son was drawing on. She was rubbing her chin assessing his drawing. Yuan Rui walked over to her and sat down on the floor beside her. He handed her a plate of sandwiches and asked, “So, is he a genius in the making?” Zhi Rou shook her head while she bit down on the chicken sandwich, “No, I just think he is messing with us and that shit isn’t going to wash off.” “We’ll have to paint over it before we move out,” he said to her. She raised a brow asking, “But we just moved into this place,” referring to the estate the Zhao’s owned. He smirked and said, “I don’t actually like this place, weren’t you talking about a house with three or four bedrooms?” She rolled her eyes at him, “I am not about to pack and unpack to make things co
6 months later.Zhi Rou looked glared at her son who was crawling towards the kitchen table. He then climbed up and was standing. He turned to look at his mother and smiled, “Mama.”“Don’t mama me, come here, you need to bath. If I am late for my meeting you will be a motherless child,” she warned him.He started laughing and waddled towards her. She held out her hand for him to grab her hand and she said, “I don’t understand why you are so afraid of walking, you could have been walking years ago but nooo, you choose now only.”She picked him up and stripped him out of his clothes and said, “You are going to bath now and then I am going to dress you up in a suit and we’ll get your sister and head to the office.&
Zhi Rou sat in a wheelchair outside the surgery room and looked at her husband who was sitting not too far from her on a hospital chair eating ice cream. He looked down at her when he felt someone staring at him and smiled at her, “What are you thinking?”“Nothing in particular,” she answered.“Then why the long face? Are you going to cry?” He asked.She shook her head, “No, I’m just wondering how long her hair is going to be. Mine was so crazy to maintain that I ended up cutting it.”“Yes, only after I kicked you out of the house,” Yuan Rui answered with a smirk.Zhao Mian walked over holding Shaotian with her father beside her. She smiled as she walked over t
Zhao Mian and her husband arrived at the hospital shortly after Yuan Rui left and found her parents sitting outside Zhi Rou's room."Mother, father? Is she going to be okay?" She asked looking into the hospital room. She could see the baby had an oxygen tank attached to her in a Neonatal Intensive Care bed.Zhao Chou sighed rocking back and forth with Shaotian asleep in her arms and said, "The doctors said her womb ruptured and there was accessive bleeding. She's in an induced coma to heal and might stay longer in hospital as well. The baby was fine when your brother was still here but she suddenly stopped breathing. They resuscitated her and now she is on oxygen support.”Zhao Mian sighed as she sat down beside her mother and she kissed Shaotian on the head, “He must be really worried about her, babies
