I Cried, I Was Pretending

President Xu kept a pampered little troublemaker who bore a striking resemblance to his first love. Relying on his good looks, this little ancestor had a terrible temper—throwing a tantrum at the slightest displeasure and threatening to run away at any moment. At first, President Xu indulged him, merely attracted to the resemblance. He was half-hearted and permissive, never expecting that over time, doting on him would become second nature, turning the other party into a true little ancestor. Just when President Xu was so captivated he nearly forgot about his first love, that very person returned. Upon hearing the news, the little ancestor immediately demanded a breakup. President Xu was furious. He decided to give the brat the cold shoulder for a few days to remind him of his place. But then, one revelation after another surfaced— The little ancestor was bad at academics?—He faked it. The little ancestor had no serious career?—Also fake. The little ancestor came from a poor background?—Still fake. Turns out, the little ancestor was not only good-looking and wealthy but also young and capable. Even their so-called “coincidental” first meeting had been carefully orchestrated by him. President Xu thought he was keeping a caged canary. In reality, he had been played like a fool. President Xu: ? Not getting married really isn’t an option now.
