But despite all the precautions, Gu Zhenhua thought he had been careful enough, yet, in the end, something still went wrong.
Xia Wanrou was indeed unaware of his extramarital affair, but Luo Man became pregnant, leaving Gu Zhenhua dumbstruck upon learning the news.
The child could only be his since Luo Man had been a virgin when they were together.
He fell into an immense internal struggle.
It was only when things had to come to a head that he realized, without a doubt, he did have certain feelings for Luo Man, but not to the extent of wanting to marry her.
If he hadn't been a married man, maybe he would have considered it, as Luo Man was an exceptional girl, exactly the type Gu Zhenhua liked, but the thought of divorcing Xia Wanrou and marrying Luo Man seemed to promise a life filled with hardship.
