Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s Perspective
Blake’s daughter.
1/26
Dad, you wanted me to find someone from a family of similar social standing and wealth. I’ve done that now. Are you satisfied?
I…
I can’t say I’m satisfied.
I never met his ex–girlfriend.
Friends were joking.
“He broke up with that girl so decisively?”
“Jasper, aren’t you afraid of divine punishment for breaking up this couple?”
I don’t care at all.
What a joke! We businessmen calculate everything and prioritize profit. Who would take divine retribution seriously?

Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s P…
2/26
As it turned out, divine retribution came sooner than expected.
I caught the flu.
The condition was quite serious.
The illness struck suddenly, like a landslide.
I was bedridden at home for many days.
I thought this was heaven’s punishment, but I underestimated the heavens.
As soon as I recovered, I went to a business dinner.
The other party was difficult to deal with. After spending the entire evening entertaining him, I still couldn’t secure the contract. If he wanted to cooperate, he needed to lower his price by three percentage points, non–negotiable.
When I returned home, I felt dizzy, chest tightness, and feverish.
I suddenly realized I had been drugged.
When I called my assistant, the line was busy.
When I called my driver, the line was also busy.
Fighting through the discomfort, I tried to leave for the hospital.
But as soon as I opened the door, a girl rushed into my arms.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s P… “Why did you leave me?”
“What’s wrong with me?”
“Am I not pretty enough?”
Only when she said this did I begin to examine her carefully from head to toe.
3/26
She wore a loose white T–shirt with shorts. The T–shirt was so long it looked like she wasn’t wearing pants at all.
She had white stockings on her legs and was wearing a cat tail.
I must have been drugged senseless to find such a tacky outfit
attractive.
The girl was drunk and extremely forward.
I figured out what was happening.
She must have been arranged by the business partner.
This happens often, but I always refuse.
I’m not the type to be compromised by lust.
Just because I refused multiple times, they resorted to drugging
me?
I must admit, the woman they sent this time was exactly to my
taste.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s P… 4/26 She looked innocent but acted boldly.
The contrast.
Her small mouth kept talking, but I couldn’t hear a word.
I kept staring at her lips, thinking how small her mouth was…
The drug’s effects grew stronger, and she kept leaning into me.
At my breaking point, I asked her:
“Do you know who I am?”
She smiled and said:
“Of course I do.”
So she was indeed arranged by the business partner.
I stopped resisting.
I kissed her and removed her clothes.
Before becoming intimate with her, I asked if it was her first
time.
She said no.
Unable to control the drug’s effects, I gave her no chance to catch her breath. I turned her over and took her.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s P… The girl cried miserably.
This confused me.
I comforted her, saying it would be over soon.
In reality, there was no cure.
5/26
In the final seconds, I lay in bed thinking that I couldn’t concede three percentage points, but two might be negotiable.
After all, the girl had cried so much she soaked the pillow.
She looked so miserable and pitiful.
It made me want to tease her more.
I must have been without female company for too long to want to take advantage of her a second time.
I did it anyway.
The second time, she was more accustomed and responsive.
I lost some control.
In that moment when hormones surged, I thought those three points didn’t matter at all.
I felt extremely exhausted, utterly drained.
6/26
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s P… Surprisingly, this little cat became addicted and kept clinging to
- me.
I gently kissed her tear–stained face with smudged makeup.
“What’s your name?“.
“Ryan, stop joking. Don’t you know who I am?”
Ryan?
“I’m not Ryan. I’m his father.”
“Oh, a son’s debt should naturally be paid by his father. That makes perfect sense.”
She proactively sat on top of me, and within minutes, our third round of the night was over.
She was finished.
My world collapsed.
3
I barely slept afterward.
She slept soundly in my arms.
Reflecting on the entire experience, I was fairly certain she was
Ryan’s recent ex–girlfriend.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s P… This must be my punishment.
7/26
A classic case of a father paying for his son’s debt.
Am I really supposed to give myself to her?
She truly is pitiful, abandoned by Ryan.
Now she came here and ended up sleeping with me due to a misunderstanding.
If I don’t commit to her, her situation would be terrible.
As Jasper, I pride myself on being responsible.
I only fell asleep as daylight broke.
Her phone rang.
It was Ryan calling.
As she answered, she was still thinking about getting back together with him.
If they reconciled, what would the three intimate encounters I had with her last night mean?
Are young women these days so open–minded?
Lying on her ex–boyfriend’s father’s chest while crying and begging her ex to take her back on the phone?
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s P…
I was angry.
But I couldn’t show it.
It would make me seem like I cared.
What she said meant she didn’t want to take responsibility.
8/26
She didn’t need me to take responsibility–I should be relieved.
Yet, as I buckled my belt, I felt inexplicably disappointed.
Later, Ryan rushed home and said he wouldn’t get back together with that girl.
Was her name Sara?
Her name was as ordinary as she was.
She was in a miserable state, her legs trembling uncontrollably as she ran out.
Her situation was truly tragic.
However, I think Ryan made the right decision not to reconcile.
Exactly why it was right, I couldn’t quite explain.
4
While tidying the room, I found the cat tail she had left behind.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s P…
9/26
Just thinking about how that tail had swayed beneath me as she begged for mercy made my heart skip a beat.
I felt a mix of frustration and restlessness.
I thought I had been too rough with her last night and should offer some compensation.
I’ll give her $100,000.
That should be enough for a student, right?
I instructed my assistant to deposit $100,000 into a bank account, then had Ryan take the cat tail and bank card to her.
After Ryan left, I asked my assistant if $100,000 was enough to buy a handbag.
He said it wasn’t enough if she wanted something from Hermès.
I don’t have much knowledge about handbags and jewelry.
Can’t $100,000 buy a handbag?
That makes me look cheap.
What if she specifically likes Hermès?
I had my assistant deposit another $100,000, bringing the total
to $200,000.
She’d probably be happy to come find me, right?
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s….
107/26
After all, who would easily let go of a wealthy man once they’ve hooked one?
In the end, she never came.
I invested $200,000 and got nothing in return.
I guess it still wasn’t enough.
Today’s college students are so greedy!
Finding information about her was extremely easy.
I instructed my assistant to investigate her.
I discovered she was interning at my friend’s company.
Since my friend had been urging me to discuss a project, I decided to go talk about it.
And observe what this money–loving, lustful person was up to.
5
Someone saw me, poured a cup of coffee, and spilled it on my
pants.
Her boss was right to scold her.
She really was clumsy and not very nimble.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s … Her written self–criticism was adorable.
11/26
When she read it aloud, her face turned bright red.
I didn’t want to listen at all; I only cared if her hand had been burned.
She hid her hand behind her back.
Sigh…
Still a child.
Fine.
I shouldn’t hold it against her.
She didn’t come looking for me, probably because she’s overworked by her boss every day.
She’s exploited like a punching bag, yet doesn’t dare show her dissatisfaction.
Completely different from the person who shouted “a son’s debt should be paid by his father” that night.
It makes me feel both sorry for her and angry.
My friend said I had a crush on his intern.
That’s impossible.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s … At most, it’s just an elder’s care for a younger person.

12/26
It’s been many days without news from her.
Actually, I went abroad on a business trip.
In the past, going abroad for work felt like going home.
Now I’m abroad for work but want to go home.
We keep discussing the same projects.
Anyone I want to cooperate with never fails to cooperate.
Working 365 days a year without a break, I’ve earned a lot of money, but I’m tired of it.
I’m not sure exactly what’s bothering me.
My friend says I lack female companionship.
In my 32 years of life, I’ve dated some women, but never for long.
I’m a calm and rational person who doesn’t let emotional
matters affect my work. Once I feel tired or when interests are at stake, I simply end the relationship.
Later, I became too lazy to communicate.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s… Speaking of lacking female companionship.
13/26
Last time, because I had been single for too long, I lost control that night.
Ryan mentioned that Sara went to the hospital that day.
My first reaction was: Did I hurt her too badly?
Thinking back carefully, I couldn’t even fully enter.
She kept saying it hurt but wouldn’t specify where the pain was.
She just cried.
I didn’t know what to do at the time.
The recent irritation in my heart disappeared the moment I received my friend’s call.
He said that intern missed me.
7
I was in Singapore attending a meeting. Halfway through, I suddenly felt the meeting was pointless—they’d been talking for hours without getting to the point.
I booked a flight back immediately.
As soon as I returned, my friend pulled me aside to discuss the project.
a
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s … I was actually wondering if she had left work yet.
After a long conversation, my friend said she hadn’t left.
She was waiting for me.
I wanted to invite her to dinner.
So I invited everyone.
While eating, she kept stealing glances at me.
I knew it all along.
I just wanted to smile.
14/26
She really is a child, with all her emotions written on her face.
I didn’t understand what she was trying to express.
But generally, it seemed like she wanted to cling to me.
She wanted to rely on me but was too shy to come see me.
I drank too much again.
I saw her leave and followed her out.
She spent a long time in the bathroom, and I waited outside for
her.
15/26
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s… During those ten minutes of waiting.
I thought very clearly.
She would always be my son’s ex–girlfriend, and there could never be anything between us.
I needed to make this clear and let her move on.
Finally, as soon as she came out, she crashed into my arms again.
She was soft all over.
Like a fluffy little rabbit.
My heart was racing, but my lone remained harsh.
I asked what she wanted from me.
In the end, she returned the bank card to me.
She said she didn’t want my money, then pulled me into a private room and kissed me.
I really underestimated her.
She’s someone who takes initiative at any time.
She makes me feel like I can never predict what she’ll do next.
It’s an indescribable feeling.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s… She kissed me once, then ran away.
It took me a long time to recover.
16/26
I felt like something had affected me, and I desperately wanted to kiss her hard.
I asked my friend what the girl liked.
He said she liked money.
She said she didn’t want my money because the amount was too small.
Too small?
I understand now.
8
When taking her back to her dormitory, we ran into Ryan and his current girlfriend.
She was bullied again.
That mischievous Ryan.
He actually said no wonder her father didn’t want her when he divorced.
Made her cry.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s …
Is she from a single–parent family?
I feel a bit sorry for her.
But there’s an evil thought in my mind.
She could also call me daddy.
Stop–this isn’t something a mature, steady man should be thinking about.
I took her to the dormitory entrance but didn’t know how to comfort her.
17/26
When I pulled out a lollipop I had bought at the supermarket while getting cigarettes, even I was shocked.
This was the first time in my life I bought a lollipop to comfort a girl.
Though it seemed childish, I thought she might like it.
I wasn’t sure if she liked it.
But I sincerely wanted to take responsibility for her.
Before, I thought she was my son’s ex–girlfriend, and I couldn’t accept that.
Now I understand.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s … Ryan was only my adopted son.
He’s already 18, and I could technically terminate my guardianship.
I should protect her.
She shouldn’t be bullied by anyone.
Especially by that ungrateful Ryan.
She could only be bullied by me.
As Jasper, I pride myself on being responsible.
9
Because she invested in my friend’s company.
Just to see her once.
However, she seemed unwilling to see me.
She seemed to have another conflict with Ryan.
They had a conflict, so why was she avoiding me?
Hadn’t they already broken up?
Why were they still entangled?
It’s driving me crazy.
18/26
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s… Someone tried to persuade her to drink.
I blocked it for her.
Of course I knew what she was like when drunk.
She absolutely couldn’t drink.
19/26
She had been avoiding me lately, which frustrated me. And since I kept blocking drinks for others, I ended up drinking too much myself.
I told her to go buy me some hangover medicine.
I felt irritated whenever I saw people trying to talk to her.
She asked for 25, so I transferred her $2.5 million.
Is that enough now?
I thought she would leave after going out and end her work for the day.
In the end, she came back.
And took my drunk self to the hospital.
She even stayed by my bedside all night.
She looks really cute when she’s persistent.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s …
20/26
She couldn’t stay awake any longer and fell asleep with her head resting on my hand.
Asleep, she’s adorable.
I want to kiss her.
I held back.
In the middle of the night, I couldn’t control myself and stole a kiss.
She didn’t know.
She made a couple of soft sounds.
Kind of cute.
When I woke up in the morning, my disobedient child had arrived.
Lately, I feel annoyed just seeing him.
I’ll have to punish him by cutting his allowance for a month.
10
I’ve added her as a WeChat friend.
She took me to the restaurant run by her mother.
Her mother seemed to know about our relationship.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s …
I’m a bit nervous now.
How can I make her mother like me?
11
Damn it.
Her mother arranged a blind date for her.
Does she dislike me that much?
What’s the point of going on a blind date?
Hearing this news, I nearly tore up the contract.
What’s going on?
Weren’t things fine before? Why suddenly a blind date?
I really don’t understand today’s girls.
I’m a bit devastated.
I asked my friend how to pursue a girl.
Fine, fine, fine.
I simply asked her what kind of bag she liked.
She said she liked white houses.
21/26
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s … Fine, fine, fine.
Whether it’s a white house or a black house, find it for me immediately.
22/26
I managed to find a rare, unopened white house and planned to give it to her. But unexpectedly, she went on another blind date.
What could I do?
As a mature and steady man, making a scene wasn’t an option.
I kept waiting outside the cinema.
She came out in a bad mood.
That man actually dared to kiss her and said such hurtful things.
All the anger that had accumulated in my heart was unleashed on that blind date guy.
At the police station, I refused to write a forgiveness letter.
I just wanted him locked up.
He actually dared to kiss someone who belongs to me.
I longed to possess her.
Later, she explained her mother knew the parents of her blind date and worried about future awkwardness.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s …
Fine, I calmed down.
23/26
Her mother already didn’t like me much, and I couldn’t let this
issue…
I’ll endure it.
12
On the way back, I kissed her.
I couldn’t control myself.
I wanted to possess her.
I admit, I felt jealous today.
Very easily jealous.
When jealous, I felt extremely impulsive and wanted to lash out, but I forced myself to stay calm.
When my calmness reached its limit, all I wanted was to possess her madly, to keep her by my side forever.
She clearly recognized her own feelings and said she liked me.
I said I felt the same.
I realized my feelings earlier than she did.
24/26
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s … Fortunately, she saw the situation clearly, otherwise I don’t know how long I would have been jealous.
Without an official relationship, I could only silently endure my jealousy.
I went to her rented apartment.
Then, things happened uncontrollably.
Ridiculously, her best friend and her boyfriend Jack were next door.
No.
Can’t finish.
If I finish too early, would she think I’m too old?
After all, I’m 10 years older than her.
It’s hard to guess what young people think nowadays.
To prevent her from thinking I’m too old, I had a plan.
I bribed her best friend and her boyfriend Jack.
I planned to take her and her best friend out, but as soon as we left, we ran into Ryan rushing over, begging her to get back together.
This annoying guy.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s …
25/26
Why does he always follow us like a ghost, impossible to shake off?
He’s too late.
She’s mine now.
We must kick him out of our house so he’ll behave, right?
His timing was perfect–he saw us holding hands, which should end his fantasies.
Later, his emotional breakdown, acting crazy in the snow, was truly laughable.
How can he say I made him break up with her? I merely reminded him that dating someone of lower status is
troublesome.
I agree it’s troublesome.
His brain doesn’t work well; only I can handle it.
I’m not afraid of complicated matters.
13
I proposed.
I found her long–lost father and brother, and brought her mother to Australia, all to propose to her.
Chapter 29 Extra: From the Male Lead’s …
26/26
For the first time, I understood that when you like someone, you naturally think of them and want to be good to them.
You investigate everything.
You want to solve all their problems.
You want to respect them, guide them, and help them improve.
However, she doesn’t seem interested in learning.
That’s all.
The business world is complex and risky, but with me there, it’s fine. She doesn’t need to handle major affairs, just do some light supporting work and whatever she wants to do.
I dote on her completely.
(The End)
