Book Synopsis
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xiao pushed open the door of her parents' house. The luxury remained, but her heart felt as if it were tightly gripped by an invisible hand, making it hard to breathe. "Dad, Mom, we’ve come to see you," she forced out a smile, but what greeted her were two faces devoid of emotion. "Yifan said that once we have children, you will..." Chen Xiao's voice grew softer until it faded into the silence.
It had been a year since she recklessly married Dong Yifan, falling from the clouds into the mud, transforming from a princess into a Cinderella. The door of this villa had remained firmly shut against her. Today, she returned with her one-month-old son, driven by a humble wish—a place to live, even if it was just a rundown apartment in Yangpu District.
"The baby is fine; you don’t need to worry," her mother's cold voice was like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing the last flicker of hope in her heart. "But our place is too small for the baby..." Chen Xiao wanted to say more but was ruthlessly interrupted by her father. "You chose to marry him; we can’t interfere. Now you two can live your own lives!"
Holding her son, Chen Xiao left with heavy steps, passing by the garden she once loved most, only to see Dong Yifan chatting with the neighbors. "My wife went back to her parents for money; she’s their only daughter—of course they’ll take care of us," he said.
