[Marriage First, Love Later + Age Gap + Fatherly Type + Sweet Romance]
Xiao Zhi, eldest daughter of the Xiao family, returned home after graduating from a renowned university in M Country and embarked on a wonderful life of eating, drinking, and having fun. She even had the nerve to call it helping her parents shoulder the burden of having too much money.
The year she turned twenty-four, the old master of her family suddenly arranged for her to marry Qi Qingchen, the eldest son of the Qi family, who was eight years her senior.
Forced to attend the wedding, Xiao Zhi feared Qi Qingchen might force himself on her that night. So as soon as the ceremony ended, she began her "escape from the marriage," even though the wedding was already over...
Whether due to terrible luck or something else, she happened to climb into Qi Qingchen's car as soon as she stepped outside, and even asked his driver to take her to the airport...
Naturally, after receiving a message from Qi Qingchen, the driver turned around and brought Xiao Zhi straight back to him...
Xiao Zhi: What a disastrous start. This escape is a spectacular failure... Has anyone ever failed at running away more miserably than me?!
After Qi Qingchen hauled her back home, Xiao Zhi immediately laid down three rules.
"We can pretend to be a loving couple in front of other people, but in private, we'll leave each other alone and do our own thing. I don't need your money, and I don't want anything from you. Just don't restrict my freedom."
Well, Qi Qingchen understood.
At twenty-four, she was at the age for having fun.
Hmph, you don't want my money, is that it?
Fine! Don't come crying later.
Qi Qingchen immediately called his in-laws, claiming he was concerned about how hard they worked, and had them cut off Xiao Zhi's allowance.
The next day, Qi Qingchen sat quietly in his study, waiting for a certain someone to come begging him.
