Gilded Cage,Fierce Heart
The girl, from a middle-class background, used to work as a maid for a very wealthy family â the second or third richest in the country. While working there, she had a quiet relationship with the familyâs second son, but it didnât last because he was insecure and kept their love a secret. They broke it off.
Later, she left that job to find herself and ended up working at a new company, where the CEO secretly fell in love with her. After a dinner together, she became pregnant, and although she didnât love him, she agreed to marry him after her motherâs persuasion.
The rich ex-boyfriend (the second son) finds out she married another CEO. Heâs angry, not just because she moved on, but because he believes this CEO is using her to get back at him. But what he doesnât know is⌠the CEO actually truly loves her.
So now sheâs trapped in a love triangle:
A marriage she didnât choose out of love
A man from her past who never gave her the respect she deserved
And her own heart, caught in between.

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURTEENTH:FOUR YEARS OF NIGHTMARE "Swallow the pill" Sheng Tiaroun was wearing a shirt, revealing his ten-pack abs. He looked both wild and rogue. He had a cigarette in his mouth and looked at Lin wei, who had a white pill in her palm. Lin wei stood up from her chair, but her legs went weak when she stepped on the tiles. She quickly held onto the desk before looking at the pill in the man's palm. It was a contraceptive pill, and she knew it. Every time after they had sex, he would prepare a pill for her to take. He was extremely cautious, afraid that she would get pregnant again.But he didn't know that she could never get pregnant again. She raised her head, struggling for a moment before saying, "I just finished my period yesterday, and it's still the safe . Can I not take the pill?" Her body was special, and she was allergic to many drugs, especially contraceptives. Every time she took the pill, her stomach would feel uncomfortable for a long time. "Not take the pill? Lin wei, do you want to have my chil

Chapter: Chapter Thirteen : A quiet care, wrapped in command.
The hallway was quiet, lit only by warm yellow sconces that stretched shadows across the carpet. Lin Wei stepped out of the elevator with a file still in her hands, her steps light but her body heavy from the dayâs stress. The conference had run well into the evening, far beyond the formal dinner. There had been an emergency meeting, two calls from a difficult client, and another last-minute presentation from the investment delegation that left everyone on edge. Throughout it all, she hadnât sat for more than a few minutes,drank wines to satisfy some clients. Not once did she complain. She was still reviewing a printed email when a calm but unmistakably firm voice broke through the corridorâs hush. âLin Wei.â She turned. Sheng Tiaorun stood outside the lounge reserved for executives, his suit jacket now draped loosely over his arm, the top button of his shirt undone. Even in that slightly relaxed state, there was something commanding about his presence. âYes, President Sheng?â

Chapter: Chapter Twelve : Business shadows and quiet reflections.The first rays of morning filtered through the hotel room curtains, casting gentle light across the minimalist interior. Lin Wei stood before the mirror, adjusting the lapel of her soft beige blazer. It was her first out-of-city business trip with Tianrong Group â and not just any trip. This time, she wasnât just a staff member in the background. She was Sheng Tiaorunâs assistant for the evening.She had barely slept the night before.A car had picked her up early that morning, joining a small delegation from the company. Sheng Tiaorun arrived later by private transfer, and though they exchanged no more than a polite nod at check-in, she couldnât help but notice how effortlessly he commanded attention even without speaking.Now, hours later, Lin Wei was expected to accompany him to the evening conference dinner. She glanced at her phone: a message from Su Rina wishing her luck and teasing her about being âMadam CEOâs assistant.â Lin Wei smiled softly and tucked the phone away.By 6:30

Chapter: Chapter Eleven â A Little EscapeThe afternoon sunlight poured softly into the apartment as Lin Wei tied the last knot on her curtain. A breeze floated through the slightly open window, bringing with it the distant city hum and a sense of quiet peace. The apartment, once unfamiliar and echoing with emptiness, was finally beginning to feel like hers.Wang Xiexie stepped out from the bathroom, shaking her wet hands in the air dramatically. âYou didnât tell me your new place was this cozy!â she said, grinning as she wiped her hands on a towel. âIâm thinking of moving to this estate too.âLin Wei chuckled. âYouâre not even done packing my stuffs , and now you want to move in next door?ââHey, who said Iâd do the moving myself?â Xiexie flopped down on the small couch they had just assembled. âThatâs what friends are forâemotional support and carrying furniture.âThe two burst into laughter, a sound that warmed the quiet space. They hadnât had time like this in years. Though theyâd gone to secondary school together, life h

Chapter: Chapter Ten â Unpacking the Quiet PastThe car eased to a gentle stop before the modest apartment tucked into the edge of the estate. The evening sun cast a golden hue over the pavement, washing the neighborhood in soft light. Sheng Tiaorun stepped out first and walked over to Lin Weiâs door, opening it like a silent habit.âThank you,â Lin Wei said softly as she stepped down, her eyes lingering briefly on the tidy rows of homes around them. The estate was calm, quietânothing like the tense pace of the city or the muted luxury of the hotel. This just felt different. Almost... gentle.âYouâll be safe here,â he said, his deep voice matching the calm around them. âThe landlord already knows youâre arriving today. Heâll send the keys and receipt tonight.âShe blinked, taken aback. âI thought it will take a day or two for it to arrive ?âHe didnât answer directly. âIs that what you think,this is a different place unlike the one's you've been staying at before ,â he said simply, eyes on the

Chapter: CHAPTER NINE: QUIET SATURDAY, QUIETER HEARTS
The hotel room had grown familiar.Its beige curtains, the faint hum of the air conditioner, the crisp bedsheets that never held warmth long enough â it had become her temporary world. But now, standing in the center of it with an open suitcase and boxes beside her, Lin Wei realized how little she had truly unpacked.Maybe part of her had known she wouldnât stay long.The week had been long â files, meetings, late nights. But today, Saturday, offered a rare sliver of quiet. No calls.No texts. No reports. Just her and the soft ticking of the hotel room clock.Until a gentle knock at the door.She opened it to find Sheng Tiaorun standing there â no suit today, just a dark grey shirt rolled at the sleeves, black slacks, and a calm, unreadable expression.âI said Iâd help,â he murmured, as though reminding her of a promise she hadnât dared accept.âYou didnât have to,â she said softly.âI know.âShe stepped aside.---They worked in silence at first.Lin Wei folded her clothes with care,
