Back to the present.
Watching the beautiful young woman sleeping in his arms, Jin Liwei thought that destiny was cruel. However, when thinking about it carefully, his destiny was determined not by pure chances alone but also by his own goddamn choices.
He was the one who chose to slip away from his mother's birthday ball two years ago and overheard Fan Luo's words. He was the one who chose to believe Fan Luo over the girl named Iris Long even when the evidence pointed at Fan Luo's fault. He was the one who chose to erase all the evidence, not knowing that he was protecting an evil monster who already harmed other women before.
Then a year and a half later, he was the one who decided to approach the beautiful young woman reading a Russian book at the hotel lobby. He was the one who decided to pursue her even knowing that she was the girl he helped f*ck over. He was the one who allowed himself to fall so mindlessly in love with his baby girl.
