Chapter 1

“Ye Fan, let’s break up,” a quite pretty girl said, her eyes filled with mockery.

Tsk, just like this beggar-looking guy, he still wants to be my boyfriend? Really, a toad lusting after swan meat, not even taking a look at what he’s really like.

He’s just somewhat handsome, and initially, I was attracted to his good looks and the fact that he was the school hunk, so I chased after Ye Fan for the sake of my own pride.

But after being together for a month, I didn’t expect him to be so poor, unable to buy me anything.

“Why, what did I do wrong that we have to break up!” Ye Fan looked shocked, everything had been fine before, so why suddenly did she want to break up with him?

What on earth did I do wrong!

“You’re not worthy of me, you can’t give me what I want!” Xia Lili’s face was cold as ice as she spoke without a hint of emotion, even a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Ye Fan is nothing but a pauper, how could someone like him be worthy of me.

I’m meant to be a phoenix soaring high. The fortune teller said that in this life, I’m to marry into a wealthy family, enjoying endless glory and riches.

With this poor guy, Ye Fan, what can I get? Nothing, just wasting my youth away.

“Fine, I get it. You just had your eye on a designer bag recently, right? I didn’t buy it for you and now you’re throwing a fit about breaking up. Isn’t it enough if I work a summer job and buy it for you!” Ye Fan stepped forward to grab Xia Lili’s hand, but she briskly shook him off.

He stood there stunned, his handsome face filled with bitterness, and his eyes brimming with sadness.

Is there really no hope of salvaging this?

She said, I’m not worthy of her, haha…

Just because of a bag worth a few thousand, she wants to break up with me. It seems, to her, I’m not even as valuable as a bag.

Besides, how could a poor kid like me come up with so much money? I’ve always been frugal and thrifty.

After all, my family is just average, and my parents have already struggled so much, I’ve earned my college tuition myself through part-time jobs.

This Xia Lili, how can she be so heartless after being together for a month?

Indeed, a woman’s heart is as unfathomable as the ocean’s bottom, they turn their faces faster than flipping a book.

In the end, I truly gave my heart to the wrong person.

“Hmph, look at your roommates, they’re always buying things for their girlfriends. You, on the other hand, are only somewhat good-looking and haven’t bought me anything because you’re poor. What was I thinking when I got together with you!” Xia Lili shouted angrily, her pretty face contorting into a grotesque snarl, looking incredibly ugly.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

“Xia Lili, what you’re saying is really too much. I’m not some rich second generation or official’s child, how can I afford those luxury goods for you? And remember, it was you who chased after me!” Ye Fan couldn’t help raising his voice as he spoke.

Yes, Xia Lili was the one who chased after me!

Now, on what grounds does she get to talk to me like this? It’s not like I chased her.

Turns out, she chased after me just to find a sugar daddy, and since I was also the school hunk, that’s why she approached me. Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but want to laugh.

What a Xia Lili!

Really something!

“Fine, fine, you’re just a pretty boy, a pauper, all looks and no substance, doomed to be a pauper for life. From now on, we are done—never to cross paths again,” Xia Lili said, shaking with anger, flames of fury burning in her eyes.

Damn it, this Ye Fan really had such an attitude.

I really must have been blind to get involved with someone like him.

This kind of man will surely end up unable to find a wife, without a girlfriend, and remain a bachelor for life.

“Let me tell you, Xia Lili, you gold digger, one day you’ll regret this!” Ye Fan spoke in a cold tone, his handsome face regaining some composure.

I shouldn’t get angry over a gold digger; it’s not worth it to upset myself.

“Fine, I’ll wait. I really want to see what you have that will make me regret!” With that, Xia Lili left gracefully, clicking away in her high heels.

She could see that Ye Fan only knew how to be quick-witted, a boy utterly useless for anything else.

Watching that gold-digger’s retreating figure, it was impossible for Ye Fan not to feel heartbroken.

Before, he had thought about, once this period passed, buying her a gift—now it seemed that reality had given him a harsh slap in the face.

That slap, oh how wonderful it was.

Finally, it snapped him out of it.

Xia Lili, today’s humiliation will one day be returned to you by me, Ye Fan, tenfold, a hundredfold!

Ye Fan tried his best to calm his emotions, but no matter what, his heart was filled with hatred and humiliation.

“Master, that guy is calling again!”

At that moment, Ye Fan’s ringtone sounded. He took a deep breath, pulled out his cellphone from his pocket, and without much thought, answered the call upon seeing the unfamiliar number displayed.

“Hello, may I ask who’s speaking?”

“Hello, is this Mr. Ye Fan? Your wife is about to give birth, hurry to the hospital to sign the papers!” the voice on the other end said directly, and it was possible to detect a tone of urgency.

“What the hell, my wife is giving birth? Are you sick? I just broke up, where did this wife come from, are you insane?” Ye Fan immediately hung up the phone upon hearing this.

Damn it, does everyone think I’m easy to bully?

Why is everyone dumping their problems on me?

I had just broken up, and now I’m being notified I’m about to be a dad? Cleanup crew, really?

Even the best-tempered Ye Fan couldn’t help but lose his patience.

What the heck is all this!

Do I look like a pushover, so easy to squeeze that everyone wants to have a go?

“Master, that guy is calling again!”

Just as Ye Fan was about to put his phone away, the ringtone sounded again.

Helplessly pulling out his phone, he looked at the unfamiliar number, clearly not the one from before—what was with today, getting so many strange calls?

“Hello,” Ye Fan picked up the phone, took a deep breath, tried to keep calm, and spoke politely.

“Ye Fan, it’s Bai Susu. Hurry to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to sign the papers. You’re the baby’s father. Do you still remember that night ten months ago?” A very weak voice came through the phone, and Ye Fan immediately recognized the owner of the voice—it was the aloof school beauty, Bai Susu, wasn’t it?

What?

I’m the baby’s father?

What’s going on?

I’m somewhat at a loss here.

Wait, that night ten months ago, it’s been so long, how could I remember?

Ye Fan indeed had some brief encounters with Bai Susu, and regardless of the situation, he knew he had to check it out.

Could it be that the school beauty had been let down by some jerk, and suddenly I’ve got a wife and child out of nowhere?

This was setting the rhythm for me to be the fall guy!

My girlfriend had just dumped me, and now the school beauty is making me the cleanup crew. Could the world be any more cruel to me?

Ye Fan didn’t have time to think further, his head buzzing as he rushed toward the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

No matter what the situation was, it was always right to go and see for himself.
