I Moved Into the CEO’s House and Became His Most Precious Darling

[Older man / ten-year age gap / healing / heroine’s growth / one-on-one romance / happy ending / extra sweet] “The moment I saw you, love swept over me like a torrential summer storm, warm and overwhelming.” The summer she was sixteen, Su Zhao walked into a beautiful mansion that seemed to belong in a dream, wearing a stretched-out T-shirt and faded jeans. A man stood by the lotus pond. His calm, gentle gaze fell on her like raindrops striking the water, stirring ripples in her heart. Su Zhao knew she could never be his equal. All she dared to do was secretly sketch his silhouette in her notebook. The love she couldn’t confess was both sweet and bittersweet. She never imagined that another summer later, he would hold her tight, his voice trembling slightly as he whispered in her ear, “Duoduo, will you choose me?” - Duoduo was the pet name Zhou Jingnian had given her. Because she was like a summer lotus in the sunlight: rising pure from the mud, graceful, resilient, and brave. He had raised her little by little, watching her slowly become more confident, more cheerful, and more beautiful. Now that the pink bud had finally bloomed, how could he let someone else pluck it? Protecting and loving her, Zhou Jingnian was certain he was the best guardian for her flower.
