*Flashback*
Gu Rong loved Luo Liuxian.
She was everything he ever wished her to be. Grace, elegance and kindness - Luo Liuxian had all the qualities Gu Rong was looking for in his wife.
But she wasn't the woman Gu Rong's family wanted for their son. They valued class and status. He didn't and so was adamant upon marrying her.
The Gu family being furious, gave him a choice of choosing either the family or her.
Gu Rong loved Luo Liuxian.
The choice was pretty simple for him. They soon registered their marriage and had their red booklets with them.
Naturally, Gu Rong's father was unable to accept Luo Liuxian as his daughter-in-law and enraged, he disowned Gu Rong from the Gu family and also took back all his rights from being the heir to their family business.
It didn't matter to Gu Rong. He had a good aptitude for business like his father and he decided to start his own company and make a name for his wife and himself.
Luo Liuxian wholeheartedly supported him. She held his hands and said, "I will be here with you, Rong. We will go through this difficult phase together."
With the encouragement from his wife, Gu Rong felt that he would row his boat through all the high waves and obstacles. He wouldn't let anybody sink the world they had built for themselves.
But the dark clouds soon loomed over them as Gu Rong's father began to interfere in his son's business. He had naturally more influence than Gu Rong and hence, it was easy to create roadblocks for him.
"I cannot believe you can go this far!" Gu Rong gritted his teeth. "You cannot see me happy at all, do you? I think you forgot that you disowned me yourself so can you stop interfering in my life?"
Mr. Gu bubbled with fury. "I disowned you, so what? You are still my son!"
Gu Rong was flabbergasted. "Then act like a decent father!"
He nodded. "I don't see why I shouldn't. You have a great idea and a great execution plan. I have thoroughly done my own research and I feel confident in your abilities."
He felt hesitant if he would pull out later because of Mr. Gu but Yu Chang assured him. "Your father cannot change my mind. The only thing that matters to me is your hard work and sincerity. That's what I will be looking at entirely, not your dispute with Mr. Gu."
This was the big break that Gu Rong needed. Something that would shatter the cycle of his father's influence.
"Thank you so much!" Gu Rong bowed deeply. "You have no idea how grateful I am..."
Gu Rong finally had good news to give to Luo Liuxian today. He always wanted her to save her salary and money and use it for herself but circumstances forced them to run their house with her earnings.
As a husband, he felt extremely happy and proud to rely on his wife, who was strong and independent enough to support him in this crisis. But guilt also filled his heart, knowing that their situation was putting a burden on her to earn more and trying to keep up with the rising costs.
But all that was going to end today.
"Liuxian!"
A bright grin settled on his lips as he twirled her joyfully. "We finally found somebody! It's Yu Chang. He is very influential abroad and he has agreed to invest in our company. Finally, Dad won't be able to make a mess this time!"
Luo Liuxian felt dizzy and asked him to put her down.
"Hehe sorry~" he stuck out his tongue.
"I am so proud of you Rong," her eyes shimmered with proud tears and trembled as she hugged him. "You finally...did it."
She wiped her misty eyelashes and said, "I also have something to tell you, Rong."
"Yeah, tell me," he chirped in a merry mood.
"I am pregnant."
