I Am A Good Man- Chapter 1 Part 1

Arc 1: Childhood Sweethearts from Rich Households

Translated by ILoveToProcrastinate

When Ji Yang opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a woman's white and pure face, shapely eyebrows, large round eyes, a refined and straight nose bridge, glossy tender cherry lips, and eyes full of distress.

The two people were in bed as the woman hugged him intimately and the man wrapped his hands around her slender waist. The woman lifted her head and softly said, "A Yang, are things too busy at the company? Are all the matters left to you?" (1)

"En," he replied casually with a low and hoa.r.s.e voice. Then, he closed his eyes, pretending to be tired, to not show any flaws.

"They are bullying you," she said with dissatisfaction. Her thin arms, white as jade, stretched upward and wrapped around his head. She leaned over to kiss him. She pecked his forehead with her mouth and pouted, "Ji Yang, if you can't continue, go to my father's company. I don't believe Ji Wei is more capable than you. My uncle is just partial to him!"

Ji Yang rolled over with her in his arms, pulled the blanket up, and bent down to kiss her smooth forehead. "It's late, sleep."

The woman bit her lip and finally said softly, "Don't get angry, I'm just fighting for your justice. Ji Yang, you're very outstanding. My uncle will definitely see your talent."

Both are children of the same family, yet the difference was so big. Ji Yang's efforts aren't recognized, but Ji Wei can easily take away the results of other people's efforts.

"Not angry," he shook his head, revealing a smile.

"Then, I'll tell you something," the woman smiled and looked up at him. She said in a spoiled and soft tone, "My birthday party is next week, can you take a day off work to come with me?"

She spoke, but her words were full of expectation and uneasiness.

"Ok," Ji Yang said without hesitation.

"You're the best," the woman kissed his chin, hid in his arms, and shyly said, "Ji Yang, turn off the light, we should sleep. You still have to go to work tomorrow."

Ji Yang turned off the lights and closed his eyes to continue to receive memories.

He is a ghost with no body, bound to a system to accept tasks, experiencing life in a variety of ways. After completing the mission, the person who made the wish will sacrifice their soul to maintain the operation of the system.

The woman in his arms was Zheng Jiayue. This time, she was the objective of the mission. She was the only daughter of the Zheng household who studied at T City University. Zheng household and Ji household were old family friends, so the original owner and Zheng Jiayue were also childhood sweethearts. (2)

Unfortunately, the original owner was only an illegitimate son. His mother was a bar girl, and she was abandoned by his father after being played with. Before she died, he was sent to the Ji household at the age of five. The Ji household already had an ignorant young master named Ji Wei.

The Ji household and Zheng household had already arranged an engagement, and it was originally set for Ji Wei. But, Zheng Jiayue took a fancy to the original owner when he was young, and she chased after him and liked him for more than 10 years. At the age of 18, she took the initiative to confess and was able to catch him. To say that Zheng Jiayue really likes him, the capricious and slightly arrogant young lady was like a kitten in front of him. She was so cute that she ran to his apartment to do laundry and cooking and cleaning. How could she be so virtuous?

And the original owner? He lacked love since young. He doted excessively on her, always felt he owed her in his heart, and wouldn't let her suffer any grievances. He performed well at the Ji household for his father's approval, to take over the Ji company, and to marry Zheng Jiayue. The two were lovingly together for four years and loved each other very much. They stuck to each other like glue every day. (3)

According to the plot, the original owner's ability was enough to suppress Ji Wei, become the successor of the Ji business, and grandly marry Zheng Jiayue. The turning point of the story happened at Zheng Jiayue's birthday party this year.

Halfway through the banquet, because the original owner had worked overtime for many days, he was too tired to return to the guest room to rest. However, he ended up waking up next to Zheng Jiayue's roommate, Ning Wen. His first reaction was to never let Zheng Jiayue know about it, solve the problem on his own, and hide it.

When he found out that Ning Wen was pregnant, she wanted to give birth to the child, but the original owner naturally refused. At that time, Zheng Jiayue was also pregnant.

He wanted Ning Wen to abort the child, but he couldn't find her. When Zheng Jiayue was expected to give birth soon, there was an accident. Not only did she have a miscarriage, but she couldn't get pregnant again. Zheng Jiayue fell into depression, and she tried to commit failed suicide.

At this time, Ning Wen reappeared in front of Ji Yang with a cute little boy.

On one hand, there was Zheng Jiayue who was a nervous wreck, short-tempered, and depressed. Also, he was physically and mentally tired. On the other hand, there was Ning Wen who gave birth to his child, quietly raising his child on her own and was gentle and considerate.
