A Stolen Romance

[Restraint and self-control + taking her by force + devoted to each other + heroine’s growth]

Her brother disappeared for over a year. When he came back, it was as if he’d become a different person.

…

Xu Shuning was the only child in her family and was doted on by everyone.

When she was seven, her father brought home a boy three years older than her. He was filthy and scrawny. Xu Shuning showed no hint of disdain. Instead, she approached him curiously and called him “big brother.”

From then on, the boy took the name Xu Jinnan and grew up alongside her.

…

After graduating from college, Xu Jinnan suddenly disappeared for a year. When he returned, he was a calm, mature man, and his feelings for her gradually began to show.

At first, Xu Shuning didn’t notice anything unusual about him, until one day…

Xu Jinnan pinned her against the wall, suddenly gripping the back of her neck. He bent down and whispered in her ear, “We may have grown up together, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to make you mine.”
