The CEO Pregnant Ex-Wife [Language: English]

Chapter 1: A Chance Encounter in the Library

The heavy scent of old books lingered in the library, mixing with the soft rustle of turning pages. Linh Dương reached up to pull out a thick design reference book from the top shelf, her fingers barely grazing the spine.

Just as she was about to tiptoe, another hand reached over hers—firm, steady, and warm. Their fingers brushed briefly.

“Sorry,” came a deep voice.

She turned and looked up, startled to see a tall, sharp-featured man in a crisp black shirt. His dark eyes held a quiet confidence, and his lips curled into a polite smile.

“I’m Minh Hạo,” he said, handing her the book.

“Linh Dương,” she replied softly, heart oddly fluttering.

And just like that, a moment that was supposed to pass became the beginning of everything.

They saw each other more often after that—sometimes in the library, sometimes at campus events. She was calm, thoughtful, and passionate about design. He was composed, driven, and already inheriting the weight of his family’s business.

They fell in love, slowly but surely. After graduation, Linh Dương became a rising fashion designer, while Minh Hạo took over as CEO of the family’s luxury conglomerate—spanning fashion, tech, and innovation.

Their relationship, though quiet and private, was steady. They didn't tell their families, choosing instead to focus on their careers.

But love is fragile, especially when left unattended.

When Minh Hạo turned 26, he went on a business trip abroad. It was supposed to be routine. But fate had other plans.

It rained that day. Hard.

He was standing outside the company building, car broken down, phone dead. As the rain soaked through his coat, a small, sweet voice spoke from behind.

“Sir, would you like to share my umbrella?”

She was beautiful—brunette, kind eyes, soft smile. She was also his employee, though they had never met before.

That moment felt like a scene from a movie. He smiled back.

“Thank you.”

He didn’t expect to see her again. But when he returned from his trip, he found her name on the company’s transfer list—she had been moved to the main office.

Due to her “exceptional” skills.

They met again at a café. Talked. Laughed. And slowly, he began to forget the warmth he once had with Linh Dương.

He became colder with Linh Dương. Distant. Unavailable.

Until one day, he called her into his office.

“Why did you call me here, Hạo?” she asked gently.

Without even looking up from his paperwork, he said flatly, “Let’s break up.”

She stood frozen, her breath caught.

A beat of silence.

Then, in a whisper—barely audible—she replied, “Okay...”

And just like that, seven years of love faded into silence.
