Marrying Up For The Rest Of My Life

Rong Zheng never imagined that one day she would find herself in her ex-husband’s older brother’s arms, caught in an entanglement she couldn’t escape. Rong Zheng was a psychologist. During an online consultation, she met a patient who claimed to be a mistress. It was only later that Rong Zheng discovered the truth—this “mistress” had been sleeping with her own husband. Worse, she had even given birth to his illegitimate child. Without hesitation, Rong Zheng divorced him. She took her daughter and left Jiangcheng for the capital, where she threw herself into academic research. She started as a newcomer at a hospital. Year by year, she climbed her way up. Eventually, she became an internationally renowned professor and authority in psychiatry and psychology. She was the youngest rising star in the medical field. Throughout those years, the man who stood at the pinnacle of power in the capital had been quietly protecting her. He always appeared in her life as her daughter’s “uncle.” One day, Rong Zheng brought him her award trophy to express her gratitude. “Big Brother, thank you for all your support over the years.” She never expected that the man—who had always kept his distance from women—would suddenly wrap an arm around her waist.

Later, with reddened eyes, she asked him, “You don’t mind that I’m divorced and have a child?” “Your divorce wasn’t your fault,” he said. A trace of tenderness softened his usually stern features. “As for the child… why would I dislike my own child?” Rong Zheng: “……” *Thunderstruck!* Someone, please tell her—she was clearly pregnant with her ex-husband’s child. So how had that child somehow become her ex-husband’s older brother’s?
