Mr. Gu's Childhood Sweetheart

Rich heiresses usually can't escape being married off for business, and Tang Nianzhi was no exception. She didn't mind, though. Getting her blind dates to reject her was her specialty. She'd play the obedient girl on the surface, while secretly insisting on being the exception. The result was a beating from her father that left her covered in bruises, followed by public scolding and humiliation from her boyfriend's family. Tang Nianzhi lived like a wildflower. Even the pet name “Tangtang,” given to her by her mother, was snatched away with ease by her stepsister. Tang Nianzhi herself never expected to win the favor of Gu Mochi, the newly appointed head of the Gu Corporation. He threw her a lavish birthday celebration and even helped her reclaim her name. Gu Mochi was the kind of top-tier man who was never available on the marriage market, a man who had everything. Yet when Tang Nianzhi asked him about it, he said, “Who says I have everything? I'm missing a wife.” Who could resist that? Even Tang Nianzhi, for all her self-awareness, couldn't help entertaining a little hope. Until she fell into hell. Tang Nianzhi deliberately pulled away and kept her distance. She was a wildflower who could withstand any storm, but she absolutely refused to drag down the man who had once made her dare to hope. Gu Mochi followed her at every turn and refused to let go. He insisted on standing by her side, sheltering her from every storm, and swore he would never let anyone hurt her again. Gu Mochi told Tang Nianzhi, again and again, about things that had happened when they were children, things she was too young to remember. Gu Mochi said, “Tangtang, I've been waiting for you to grow up since I was seven. I waited until I was thirty before I finally got you. Are you still going to run? No matter where you go this time, I'll chase you down.”
