As the female protagonist in a romance novel, Zhao Mingyao may have an ordinary name, but her life is anything but ordinary.
From a small-town girl to a wealthy lady, having given birth to two children and receiving domineering pampering from her husband, Zhao Mingyao is truly a winner in life.
She's been married for several years and seems carefree, living a better life than anyone else.
Zhao Mingyao has some minor flaws and some strengths, but her existence also presents some obstacles—for example, her husband Shen Dingkun's family did not accept her from the beginning.
The Shen family's plan for Shen Dingkun was to marry a wealthy heiress, aiming for a powerful alliance and maximizing the family's interests.
But who could have imagined that Shen Dingkun would be so infatuated with an ordinary woman that he would even defy his family just to marry her?
Shen Dingkun was capable, and his family couldn't really go against him, so they eventually got married.
In recent years, Zhao Mingyao has been quite fertile, giving birth to a son and a daughter, but she has never been very popular in high society circles.
Many people would invite her to play out of respect for Shen Dingkun, but Zhao Mingyao hadn't studied etiquette for very long, and she didn't want to play mind games with others. Every time she played with those people, she felt that she was wasting too much energy and that it was completely useless to her.
Therefore, from this perspective, Zhao Mingyao lived a rather lonely life after marrying Shen Dingkun.
Moreover, even Zhao Mingyao herself didn't know why, but she seemed unable to make friends. Last time, she finally became friends with Jiang Tian's sister, but the sister left due to some accident.
Zhao Mingyao has a happy family, but she also hopes to have wonderful friendships, so Jiang Tian becomes the ultimate tool.
Jiang Tian was usually quiet and docile, and she never told anyone what Zhao Mingyao told her.
Moreover, she has a very good temper and is gentle and kind, while Zhao Mingyao has a rather impatient temper. In her opinion, the two complement each other perfectly.
Since she had a child, she has hoped that Jiang Tian could come and play with her more often.
Becoming pregnant caused her great suffering, but in this circle, she was openly marrying up. If she couldn't even give birth, she was destined to be criticized behind her back.
Shen Dingkun treated her so well, yet he still hoped she could have more children.
Zhao Mingyao loves children, but she knows that she can't have too many children at once, otherwise it will have too much of an impact on her health. Now that she has had two children, she can take a break for a while.
In her spare time, she would think about playing, and her playmates were Su Hanze and Jiang Tian.
After Su Hanze got married, his identity became much safer.
He had a lawfully wedded wife. Even though he had liked Zhao Mingyao in his younger days, people mature, and now that they had a child, Zhao Mingyao naturally let down her guard against him.
There are some conflicts of interest between Shen Dingkun and Su Hanze, so it's impossible for him to be driven away openly.
However, he also laid down three rules for Zhao Mingyao: if she wanted to invite Su Hanze, Su Hanze must bring his wife along.
Also, Zhao Mingyao cannot meet with Su Hanze alone.
Zhao Mingyao felt ashamed when she heard about the three rules. They had been married for so many years, and Shen Dingkun was still so jealous. Should she be happy?
Of course, she agreed to all of her husband's requests.
Zhao Mingyao affectionately linked arms with Jiang Tian: "I heard you had a cold, are you feeling any better now?"
Jiang Tian smiled perfectly: "I'm much better, but you should still stay away from me. I'm afraid I'll infect you."
"What do I have to fear about catching something? I'm perfectly healthy—"
"Zhao Mingyao, come here."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Dingkun gave Zhao Mingyao orders.
He must have heard about Jiang Tian's lingering cold.
Zhao Mingyao looked helpless. She gave Jiang Tian a wink, and Jiang Tian gave her a polite smile.
Being controlled by a domineering husband, Zhao Mingyao felt both sweet and a little ashamed.
But she had to admit that she really liked Shen Dingkun's style.
Zhao Mingyao was called back, and Jiang Tian slowly sat down next to Su Hanze.
The two are nominally husband and wife, but if you observe them closely, you'll find that the distance between them is actually quite far, a safe distance that only strangers would maintain.
Whether Shen Dingkun and Zhao Mingyao actually figured it out or not, only they know the answer.
"I have a cold, can I eat separately from you?"
Jiang Tian took the initiative to suggest that they eat together at the dinner table as a solution.
Shen Dingkun raised his head and stared at Jiang Tian for a moment.
To be honest, Shen Dingkun is very handsome. He is the epitome of a domineering CEO, with an indescribable sense of composure and arrogance.
Such a handsome man is so devoted to Zhao Mingyao, no wonder so many people envy and are jealous of her, and even try to isolate her.
"Prepare a new dinner for Mrs. Su."
Shen Dingkun spoke.
"yes."
Soon, dinner specially prepared for Jiang Tian was served.
When a group of people eat together, they don't follow the rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping.
Zhao Mingyao is a very talkative person; you could say she's a chatterbox.
She feels happy when her home is lively and bustling.
She kept asking Jiang Tian about Su Nian'an.
“An’an has been in kindergarten for a year or two now. Soon, Qianqian will also be going. We’ll feel more at ease knowing that the two little sisters will go to and from school together.”
Jiang Tian did not immediately agree, but calmly said to Zhao Mingyao, "If they are willing to go to and from school together, that would be a good thing, but we still need to consider the children's opinions."
Jiang Tian, who is usually easygoing, becomes quite resolute when others mention her daughter.
After becoming a mother, Zhao Mingyao understood Jiang Tian very well. No one wants to wrong their child, and she was no exception.
So she smiled nonchalantly and said, "Of course, it depends on whether the two of them are willing to be together. An'an is a child with her own opinions. She likes her younger sister very much, and I believe she will be willing."
Jiang Tian didn't say much, she just smiled and nodded.
After dinner, Shen Dingkun and Su Hanze went to the study and talked about something.
Zhao Mingyao, who wanted to get close to Jiang Tian, was ordered by Shen Dingkun to wear a mask with a very high level of protection.
In order to be able to talk to her best friend, Zhao Mingyao reluctantly put it on.
“Sometimes Shen Dingkun can be so annoying to everyone when he’s in charge. I’m almost thirty and I still get treated like a child by him. I really admire him.”
Zhao Mingyao was genuinely complaining. She hadn't worked for many years and had always stayed at home, but she believed that she was no less capable than those who were employed.
Moreover, there was a control group beside her.
