Wah! After Getting Pregnant, the Rich Old Man Lulls Me to Sleep Every Night

Ling Qing Ruan is an eighteen-year-old university freshman from a dysfunctional family. Her mother, stepfather, and siblings view her as a burden and a source of income, forcing her to work summer jobs while neglecting her emotional needs. After a night of drinking at a hotel where she is drugged, she wakes up beside Si Zhanhan, a twenty-eight-year-old billionaire and the head of the powerful Si family. Si Zhanhan, who has a reputation for being cold and averse to women, takes responsibility for the incident. Despite his initial hesitation due to the significant age gap and her young appearance, he is drawn to her innocence and fragility. He brings her to his estate, Platinum Manor, and insists on marrying her to protect her from her abusive family.

The couple moves in together, and Si Zhanhan dotes on Ling Qing Ruan with excessive care. He personally attends to her daily needs, from feeding her meals to drying her hair, treating her like a delicate child. Ling Qing Ruan, who has never experienced genuine kindness, begins to rely on him emotionally. However, she remains insecure, believing their relationship is merely a duty for him. She hides her pregnancy from her family and struggles with the fear that Si Zhanhan will eventually leave her for someone more suitable. Meanwhile, Si Zhanhan investigates the conspiracy behind the drugging, discovering that his rival, Ye Yu, was responsible.

Conflict arises when Bai Yuxin, Si Zhanhan’s arranged fiancée from a prominent family, confronts Ling Qing Ruan. Bai Yuxin claims to be the future mistress of Platinum Manor and attempts to humiliate Ling Qing Ruan, offering her money to leave. Ling Qing Ruan, misunderstanding the situation and believing Si Zhanhan is already engaged, decides to end the relationship. She leaves Platinum Manor and returns to university, cutting off contact with Si Zhanhan. She tells her friend Wu Xiaomin that they broke up due to incompatibility and age differences, hiding the truth about her pregnancy and the misunderstanding.

Si Zhanhan is devastated by Ling Qing Ruan’s departure. He realizes his feelings for her have deepened beyond mere responsibility. He discovers she is pregnant but keeps this secret, hoping to win her back. He continues to support her financially and emotionally from a distance, sending her clothes and gifts, which she reluctantly accepts. At university, Ling Qing Ruan faces jealousy from Gu Qianyan, a wealthy classmate who is also interested in Lu Jinnian, a popular male student. Ling Qing Ruan’s quiet demeanor and beauty attract attention, but she remains focused on her studies and her secret pregnancy.

The story reaches a turning point when Si Zhanhan’s family pressures him to marry Bai Yuxin. He firmly refuses, declaring that he will only marry Ling Qing Ruan. He launches a full-scale campaign against Ye Yu, dismantling his business empire to avenge the harm done to Ling Qing Ruan. Simultaneously, Ling Qing Ruan’s family attempts to sell her off to an older wealthy man to fund their own lifestyles. Si Zhanhan intervenes, purchasing her freedom and exposing her family’s greed. He confronts Ling Qing Ruan, revealing the truth about Bai Yuxin and his genuine love for her. Ling Qing Ruan, still hesitant, agrees to give the relationship another chance as she prepares to face the challenges of motherhood and family opposition together with Si Zhanhan.
