Jiang Miao always felt that she had been exceptionally fortunate in this life.
She possessed a sharper mind, a higher starting point, and a better platform compared to her previous life! She was successful in her career, had bought a house and settled in the capital star, and could stand on her own! She was beautiful and incredibly strong!
Most importantly, she didn’t even need to get married!
She was invincible!
For so many years, Jiang Miao genuinely believed that no one could hurt her in this life!
She was truly too optimistic!
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that someone in this world could still hurt her. And the person who inflicted the deepest wound… was the father of her child!

Jiang Miao was trembling with rage! She had endured too much, and her heart was about to explode with anger!
But the third slap didn’t land on the man’s face. He caught her slender wrist with a strong hand. His grip was like iron, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free.
“Let go!” she shouted angrily.
The young man’s eyes flashed with guilt and helplessness. He said in a low voice, “It’s not convenient here, come with me.”
Although furious, Jiang Miao still had her reason. Hearing this, she pressed her lips together, stopped speaking, and stopped struggling. The man turned, holding her wrist, and she followed him.
In the commercial district’s pedestrian street, there were fixed parking spots for instant boarding and departure.
The man dragged her to the nearest parking spot, raised his wrist, and issued a voice command to his smart brain. Soon, a flying car descended from the sky and landed in the parking spot.
He shoved her in first, then quickly followed. Throughout this process, Jiang Miao glared at him angrily but didn’t struggle.
They got into the car swiftly, and it took off, disappearing into the evening clouds in no time.
The man set the flight route and then reached out to grab Jiang Miao’s hand. Jiang Miao said nothing, pulled her hand away, and turned to look out the window.
The man sighed and said gently, “Ruirui is with my family now. He really is safe.”
Jiang Miao whipped her head around, eyes blazing with anger. She spat out through gritted teeth, “You have family in Gita… since when?”
The man was silent for a moment before admitting, “He is no longer within Gita’s borders. Yesterday, my family picked him up at the border. He really is safe now.”
Jiang Miao took a deep breath, feeling her temples throb violently!
Her blood vessels felt like they were about to burst!
She had battled wits and courage with the National Security Bureau, traveled thousands of miles, all in the hope of seeing her child at the place this man had promised. And this was the result?
The man could even hear Jiang Miao grinding her teeth. He stared at the clouds ahead, not daring to look at her.
“If… if I had a gun right now…” Jiang Miao said through clenched teeth.
The man, however, sighed, “If I die, you’ll never see him again.”
Jiang Miao: “…”
Damn it! This bastard of a man!
Jiang Miao, already furious, knew he was telling the hard truth. She turned away from him, afraid she might lose control and hurt him if she kept looking at him.
The flying car had limited space, and if she truly lost it, they might end up perishing together.
That wouldn’t do; she hadn’t gone through all this trouble to die alongside this bastard.
Jiang Miao bit her finger and stared at the clouds outside.
From the ground, the clouds appeared as a colorful sunset. Rising above the clouds, it was a sea of white. This planet had two suns, both far apart, making the planet’s temperature generally cold, but still habitable.
The unique elements in the rock layers made the rocks appear white, some even semi-transparent. The surface was often adorned with crystalline mountain landscapes spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, making it a beautiful tourist destination.
Sunlight streamed into the car, but the special coating on the glass filtered the light, so it wasn’t harsh.
Jiang Miao stared at the cloud sea for a long time, breaking the silence by asking, “What’s your name?”
The young man seemed relieved that she finally spoke.
“He Yan,” he said. “My name is He Yan.”1Yan He = He Yan. Wah! So convenient.
Jiang Miao: “…”
Jiang Miao was furious: “I asked for your real name!”
The man was silent for a moment, then sincerely said, “My real name is He Yan.”
“…” Jiang Miao, “What???”
Jiang Miao’s voice pitched up eight degrees with that “What???”.
He Yan was also very helpless.
“It’s pronounced the same as his name, but backwards, so when I took on this mission, my superior joked that it was destined for me.” He said, “I thought it was a joke at the time, but…”
The young man named He Yan looked at Jiang Miao with gentle eyes.
“But I met you,” he said softly. “So maybe it really was destiny, starting with our names…”
Here we go again!
Damn it, here we go again!
Looking at this stranger’s face, naturally exuding charm and insouciance, Jiang Miao finally found a familiar feeling.
Always ready to flirt anytime, anywhere—he really was Ruirui’s father!
Jiang Miao didn’t respond to his words. She stared at the slanting clouds outside and asked, “Where are we going?”
The car was climbing, nearing the maximum altitude a flying car could reach.
“We’re here,” He Yan said.
As he spoke, a shadow loomed overhead.
Jiang Miao looked up and saw a spaceship above them. It was a shabby cargo ship, not at all fitting He Yan’s appearance and demeanor.
The deck bay opened, and the flying car flew in but didn’t stop at the deck bay. It continued forward, passing through another door before finally parking.
Compared to the ship’s worn exterior, the bay where He Yan parked was obviously much more luxurious and refined.
Jiang Miao withdrew her gaze. She wasn’t interested in the ship’s condition or grade; she just wanted to confirm that losing her temper here wouldn’t result in a catastrophic accident.
As soon as He Yan got out of the car and walked in front of Jiang Miao, he was met with her fist!
Jiang Miao, well aware of her strength as someone from a high-gravity planet living under standard gravity, had restrained herself for over ten years. She had never truly unleashed her power.
With this punch, the strong woman used all her strength, hitting the bastard right on the jaw and knocking him to the ground!2DESERVED!
“Bastard!”
Jiang Miao stepped forward, straddled He Yan, and started throwing punches, left and right, unleashing a flurry like a meteor shower!
“Bastard!”
“Bastard!”
“Bastard!”
“Asshole, ahhhhh!!!”
For over two months, she had endured fear, grievances, anxiety, sleepless nights, and a maddening longing for Ruirui… She had buried all of it deep within, beneath a calm and rational facade.
Now, her true emotions finally erupted completely!
He Yan stayed silent, not resisting, only slightly dodging when her punches aimed at his nose.
Each of Jiang Miao’s punches was strong enough to penetrate steel. By the end, her own hands hurt too much to continue.
She stopped, panting heavily, tears streaming down her face.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry,” He Yan quickly said. “Don’t stop, keep hitting, let it out…”
He even guided her fists towards his face.
Jiang Miao, furious, shook off his hand, sobbing uncontrollably. “Bast…bastard! I-I won’t…won’t feel better until…until I see Ruirui!”
She stopped hitting him, and He Yan didn’t dare move.
Crying and seething, Jiang Miao gave him another punch. “Get up! Stop…stop pretending!”
Given He Yan’s strength, Jiang Miao’s punches couldn’t possibly knock him down; he was just pretending.
Just trying to appear weak and beg for mercy.
He Yan immediately propped himself up and hugged Jiang Miao.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry,” he said. “You’ll see Ruirui very soon.”
The more he comforted her, the more heartbroken Jiang Miao felt.
“Bastard!” she cried loudly. “If you wanted to leave, just leave! Why did you take Ruirui with you!”
Having been an exemplary student in both her lifetimes, Jiang Miao could only repeat “bastard” when cursing someone.
And crying beautifully only happens in TV dramas. When someone is truly sad, even a great beauty like Jiang Miao would end up crying with snot bubbles.
Not beautiful at all.
He Yan found it both amusing and heartbreaking.
“It’s my fault, all my fault! I’m a bastard!” he consoled her while taking out a tissue to wipe her tears and snot.
“It was wrong of me, but…” once she was cleaned up, he whispered, “If I hadn’t taken Ruirui, I might never see you again.”
Jiang Miao froze.
“I know you, Jiang Miao,” He Yan hugged her tighter. “If I had left alone, you would have been sad for a while, but then you’d raise Ruirui well and live a good life. You might think of me occasionally, but… you wouldn’t come looking for me, would you?”
He Yan had really gotten to know Jiang Miao over the two years they had been together.
Jiang Miao had to admit that if He Yan had left alone, regardless of whether Ruirui was his biological child, she wouldn’t have gone on a long journey to find him.
If Ruirui hadn’t been there, it might have been different. She might have impulsively decided to go on a quest to find him, seeking a romantic and adventurous experience.
But with Ruirui, she was first and foremost a mother. As a mother, nothing was more important than her child’s health, safety, and well-being.
A father? What’s a father? Can you eat it?
Jiang Miao retorted, “Why would I look for you? I don’t even know what you look like! You might be an ugly monster for all I know!”
A total scammer, deceiving her for her body and her eggs!
“Now you know what I look like. Am I ugly?” He Yan asked humbly.
Jiang Miao looked at him.
Despite being beaten black and blue, she could see that Ruirui had inherited his attractive eyebrows, eyes, and mouth from him. The child’s nose was still soft and flat now, but when he grew up, he would surely have a prominent, sharp nose like He Yan.
“Hideous. I prefer someone who looks like Yan He,” she coldly retorted, “Pretty boy!”
Sansukini: He deserved all the punches, but I still like He Yan. A lot of things may be have been lies, but his affection and care for her were true.

Please look forward to my new novel translation to replace HCB. It will be posted in Tuesday, June 18, 2024 along with the final Extra of HCB. It’s called “BITE MARKS”
Summary:
1.
Qin Lou was like a madman from a young age, feared by everyone. Only one person wasn’t afraid and helped him lock away the demons in his heart. Later, the girl became Qin Lou’s first love. And then, the girl died. Qin Lou went even more mad, becoming uncontrollable.
Until a woman who bore a striking resemblance to his first love appeared.
2.
Ever since Qin Qing became Qin Lou’s assistant, she had to endure daily mockery besides her work:
“President Qin only sees you as a stand-in.”
“You have no idea how much Qin Lou loved Song Shu. Compared to Song Shu, you’re nothing!”
“Being someone’s stand-in, how pitiful you are.”
Qin Qing cooperated well, always lowering her eyes, looking as if she was about to cry.
“It’s okay, I’m willing to endure it. Even if he only loves my face.”
Thus, rumors spread in the venture capital industry, saying that Qin Lou’s assistant was a pitiful stand-in who accompanied him for drinks, chats, and warmth in bed. This finally reached Qin Lou’s ears.
At the Vio annual meeting, in front of everyone, the utterly fed-up Qin Lou pulled Qin Qing into his arms—
“Song Shu, after faking your death for so long, how many more years do you plan to toy with me?”
Everyone: …Who??
