# COURSE APRÈS L'ÉPOUSE Su Wan avait aimé Jing Chen pendant dix ans, et elle avait été mariée à lui pendant deux ans. Jing Chen avait toujours été le mari, que ce soit en privé ou en public. Il se souvenait de leur anniversaire et préparait des cadeaux pour elle à chaque occasion spéciale. Elle était la prunelle de ses yeux, et il la traitait comme un trésor précieux. Il aimait son corps au point qu'on pourrait dire qu'il en était obsédé. Cependant, seule Su Wan savait que Jing Chen jouait le rôle du mari parfait parce qu'il était un homme de parole. Elle n'oublierait jamais ce qu'il lui avait dit lorsqu'ils se sont mariés, "Je peux t'épouser, mais j'ai déjà quelqu'un que j'aime. Notre mariage durera trois ans. Trois ans plus tard, c'est toi qui proposeras le divorce à Grand-père." Donc, pour leur deuxième anniversaire, lorsque Jing Chen sortit les papiers du divorce et les mit devant elle, Su Wan ne fut pas surprise. Elle cacha secrètement son test de grossesse. "Bien que ce ne soit pas encore trois ans comme promis, Bai Lian est de retour. Je peux me rattraper auprès de toi," dit Jing Chen. Su Wan acquiesça calmement, "D'accord." "Tu seras celle qui demandera le divorce à Grand-père. Dis-lui que tu as déjà quelqu'un que tu aimes. Même si Grand-père ne veut pas être d'accord, il ne te rejettera pas," dit Jing Chen. Su Wan hocha la tête, "Compris, mais... est-il nécessaire de divorcer ? Et si je disais que nous avons un bébé ?" Jing Chen répondit, "Su Wan, il n'y a pas de si dans mon monde. J'ai toujours pris des mesures contraceptives. Même s'il y a vraiment un accident, je m'assurerai qu'il disparaisse. Je ne laisserai pas ce risque derrière moi." Le jour de son mariage, le bébé de Su Wan est né prématurément. Su Wan a été impliquée dans un accident de voiture, et la scène était remplie de sang. Allongée dans une mare de sang, Su Wan tenait son ventre fermement, désespérée de le protéger. Plus tard, il y eu des rumeurs disant que Jing Chen avait abandonné sa mariée ce jour-là. Il tenait le corps froid de son ex-femme pendant une semaine entière, ne permettant pas qu'il soit enterré. Jing Chen avait perdu la raison. Jusqu'au jour où, un jour, Su Wan passa à côté de lui avec deux adorables bébés...

# WIFE-CHASING Su Wan liebte Jing Chen seit zehn Jahren, und sie war seit zwei Jahren mit ihm verheiratet. Jing Chen war immer der Ehemann, ganz gleich, ob sie allein oder in der Öffentlichkeit waren. Er erinnerte sich an ihren Hochzeitstag und bereitete zu jedem besonderen Anlass Geschenke für sie vor. Sie war sein Augapfel, und er behandelte sie wie einen kostbaren Schatz. Er mochte ihren Körper so sehr, dass man sagen könnte, er sei von ihm besessen. Doch nur Su Wan wusste, dass Jing Chen sich nur wie ein perfekter Ehemann verhielt, weil er ein Mann der Worte war. Sie würde nie vergessen, was er ihr bei ihrer Heirat sagte: "Ich kann dich heiraten, aber ich habe bereits jemanden, den ich liebe. Unsere Ehe wird drei Jahre lang halten. Drei Jahre später wirst du derjenige sein, der Großvater die Scheidung vorschlägt." Als Jing Chen an ihrem zweiten Jahrestag die Scheidungspapiere hervorholte und sie ihr vorlegte, war Su Wan nicht überrascht. Sie steckte heimlich ihren Schwangerschaftstest weg. "Es sind zwar noch nicht drei Jahre wie versprochen, aber Bai Lian ist zurück. Ich kann es wieder gutmachen", sagte Jing Chen. Su Wan nickte ruhig: "Okay." "Du wirst diejenige sein, die Großvater um die Scheidung bittet. Sag ihm, dass du schon jemanden hast, den du magst. Auch wenn Großvater nicht zustimmen will, wird er dich nicht abweisen", sagte Jing Chen. Su Wan nickte: "Verstehe, aber... ist eine Scheidung ein Muss? Und wenn ich sage, wir bekommen ein Kind?" Jing Chen antwortete: "Su Wan, in meiner Welt gibt es kein Wenn. Ich habe immer empfängnisverhütende Maßnahmen ergriffen. Selbst wenn es wirklich zu einem Unfall kommen sollte, werde ich dafür sorgen, dass er verschwindet. Ich werde dieses Risiko nicht auf mich nehmen." An seinem Hochzeitstag wurde Su Wans Baby als Frühchen geboren. Su Wan war in einen Autounfall verwickelt, und die Szene war voller Blut. In einer Blutlache liegend, drückte Su Wan ihren Bauch fest an sich, verzweifelt, um ihn zu schützen. Später gab es Gerüchte, dass Jing Chen seine Braut an diesem Tag verlassen hatte. Er bewahrte den kalten Körper seiner Ex-Frau eine ganze Woche lang auf und ließ nicht zu, dass sie beerdigt wurde. Jing Chen war völlig außer sich. Bis eines Tages Su Wan mit zwei entzückenden Babys an ihm vorbeiging...

Before her death, Xia Wan has seen her own family being set up and killed, her beloved recognizing the wrong person as his savior, and their engagement party! Even her upperclassman had run a blade through her chest, snarling spitefully, "Xia Bing will have everything with your death! It was Xia Bing again! She stole all of Xia Wan's accomplishments and her lover's, but wanted her dead as well! And yet, Xia Wan could not say a word against her! However, when she thought that her death was inevitable, Xia Wan was reincarnated to a day 18 years ago, when her whole family was still alive and before all tragedy began! This time, she swore that she will have her family stay safe, healthy and happy. Insincere skanks trying to stop her? She slapped them until they cry! Scumbags wanting to date her? Xia Wan: Sorry, you're too ugly. After chasing off everyone and finally earning some peace, Xia Wan was going to sleep when someone knocked on her door. She opened it to find her beloved from the last life!"Do I happen to fit your type?" The sight of his white shirt and slightly bared chest left Xia Wan clutching her bleeding nose. Xia Wan: Men are too sexy in a white shirt! This is against the rules! A certain man: That doesn't matter. Bringing my wife home is more important!

# WIFE-CHASING Su Wan had loved Jing Chen for ten years, and she was married to him for two years. Jing Chen had always been the husband, no matter when they were alone or in public. He remembered their anniversary and would prepare gifts for her on every special occasion. She was the apple of his eye, and he treated her like a precious treasure. He liked her body to the point that it could be said that he was obsessed with it. However, only Su Wan knew that Jing Chen was just acting like a perfect husband because he was a man of his words. She would never forget what he told her when they got married, "I can marry you, but I already have someone I love. Our marriage will last for three years. Three years later, you’ll be the one to propose the divorce to Grandpa." So, on their second anniversary, when Jing Chen took the divorce papers out and put it in front of her, Su Wan was not surprised. She secretly put her pregnancy test away. "Although it's not yet three years as promised, Bai Lian is back. I can make it up to you," said Jing Chen. Su Wan nodded calmly, "Okay." "You will be the one that asks Grandpa for a divorce. Tell him that you already have someone you like. Even if Grandpa doesn’t want to agree, he won't reject you," Jing Chen said. Su Wan nodded, "Got it, but... is it a must to divorce? What if I say we have a baby?" Jing Chen replied, "Su Wan, there are no ifs in my world. I had always taken contraceptive measures. Even if there's really an accident, I'll make sure that it disappears. I won’t leave this risk behind." On his wedding day, Su Wan's baby was born prematurely. Su Wan was involved in a car accident, and the scene was filled with blood. Laying in a pool of gore, Su Wan hugged her stomach tightly, desperate to protect it. Later, there were rumors that said that Jing Chen abandoned his bride that day. He held his ex-wife's cold body for a whole week, not allowing it to be buried. Jing Chen was driven over the edge. Until one day, Su Wan brushed past him with two adorable babies...

As Third Young Master Qiao's fiancée, Xu Wan found herself dragged into a dark warehouse by him and removed the poison from his body with hers. After that, she fled in a panic so that the man could not even see her face. Unexpectedly, a few days later, it was not the news of Third Young Master Qiao marrying her that was announced, but his annulment of their engagement. Qiao Chen said, "I don't like you, and I believe you don't have any feelings for me. Let this marriage end here." After the engagement was annulled, Xu Wan left the Qiao family. A month later, she was frightened by the twins that suddenly popped up in her stomach. Much later on, she was forced into a corner by Qiao Chen. "How dare you carry someone else's child behind my back before the annulment of our engagement?" Xu Wan replied, "The children are yours, to begin with."

Le Wan transmigrated into a book, becoming a sacrifice in the fight between a real rich daughter and a fake rich daughter. Being the cousin of the real rich daughter, she had a good family background and looks, as well as the affection of all other family members and her fiance. She is unquestionably the object of group pampering, treated like a princess, and born lucky... She would have been a winner if she had not sabotaged herself. However, the problem was that her fiance was the male lead! A philandering scumbag, he would always call Le Wan 'darling' before the female lead showed up, stealing the cousin's heart. However, once the female lead appeared, he started calling her 'sister' instead and distant himself, insisting that he was loyal to the female lead. Being lovestruck and having been pampered since birth, Le Wan's original body could not accept being dumped for the rich daughter, who was raised in a farming village! She decided to endlessly harass the female lead, reducing herself to cannon fodder and subjecting her whole family to the same fate. However, Le Wan was her own person, and she would rather stay pampered by her family and live with them happily ever after. Male lead? That piece of trash? He belongs in a trash can! I have no feelings for him at all! The rich daughter tried to frame her to get the family's affection and use her as a tool? Sorry, but I don't live in a dog-eat-dog world as you do. Bring me my popcorn. I will watch them tear each other apart! The ice-cold villain? Stroking her chin and smiling like a shrewd fox, Le Wan said: Oh, poor you... Come to me. I will pamper you lots. The villain who was receiving lots of cuddling: What happened? Who am I? Where am I?

``` —Puedo casarme contigo, pero ya tengo a alguien a quien amo. Nuestro matrimonio durará tres años. Tres años más tarde, tú serás quien proponga el divorcio al Abuelo —dijo Jing Chen. —Aunque aún no son tres años como prometimos, Bai Lian ha vuelto. Puedo compensarte —dijo Jing Chen. Su Wan asintió con calma—. Está bien. —Serás tú quien le pida el divorcio al Abuelo. Dile que ya tienes a alguien a quien quieres. Incluso si el Abuelo no quiere estar de acuerdo, no te rechazará —dijo Jing Chen. Su Wan asintió—. Entendido, pero... ¿es necesario divorciarse? ¿Qué pasa si digo que tenemos un bebé? —Su Wan, no hay supuestos en mi mundo. Siempre tomé medidas anticonceptivas. Incluso si realmente hay un accidente, me aseguraré de que desaparezca. No dejaré este riesgo detrás —respondió Jing Chen. ```

# PERSEGUIÇÃO AMOROSA Su Wan amava Jing Chen há dez anos, e com ele foi casada por dois anos. Jing Chen sempre foi o marido, seja quando estavam a sós ou em público. Ele se lembrava de seus aniversários de casamento e preparava presentes para ela em toda ocasião especial. Ela era a menina dos olhos dele e tratava-a como um tesouro precioso. Ele gostava tanto do corpo dela que se podia dizer que era obcecado por ele. No entanto, apenas Su Wan sabia que Jing Chen agia como um marido perfeito porque era um homem de palavra. Ela nunca esqueceria o que ele lhe disse quando se casaram, "Posso casar com você, mas já tenho alguém que amo. Nosso casamento durará três anos. Três anos mais tarde, você será quem irá propor o divórcio ao Avô." Então, no segundo aniversário deles, quando Jing Chen tirou os papéis do divórcio e os colocou na frente dela, Su Wan não se surpreendeu. Ela secretamente guardou seu teste de gravidez. "Embora ainda não tenham sido três anos como prometido, Bai Lian está de volta. Posso compensar você," disse Jing Chen. Su Wan assentiu calmamente, "Está bem." "Você será quem pedirá ao Avô o divórcio. Diga a ele que você já tem alguém de quem gosta. Mesmo que o Avô não queira concordar, ele não rejeitará você," disse Jing Chen. Su Wan assentiu, "Entendi, mas... é necessário o divórcio? E se eu disser que temos um bebê?" Jing Chen respondeu, "Su Wan, não há 'se' no meu mundo. Sempre tomei medidas contraceptivas. Mesmo que realmente ocorra um acidente, eu garanto que ele desapareça. Não deixarei esse risco para trás." No dia do seu casamento, o bebê de Su Wan nasceu prematuramente. Su Wan se envolveu em um acidente de carro, e a cena estava coberta de sangue. Deitada numa poça de sangue, Su Wan abraçou seu estômago com força, desesperada para protegê-lo. Mais tarde, surgiram rumores que Jing Chen havia abandonado sua noiva naquele dia. Ele segurou o corpo frio de sua ex-esposa por uma semana inteira, não permitindo que ele fosse enterrado. Jing Chen foi levado ao extremo. Até que um dia, Su Wan passou por ele com dois bebês adoráveis...
