A sweet slice-of-life romance

A sweet romance is when I spoil you a little and you spoil me a little.

Ruan Zhao doesn’t like going to work. She loves staying home, though she’ll make an exception if her husband takes her out.

Jiang Ke rubs Ruan Zhao’s clothes between his hands. “You need to work, realize your own worth, and have your own social circle. If you don’t want to work, you can go out and do something else.”

Ruan Zhao rubs against Jiang Ke’s shoulder, looking pure and harmless. “But I have enough to eat, no debts, and a place to live. I think that’s already really, really good.”

Jiang Ke: …

Ruan Zhao’s eldest brother, Ruan Shi, makes a comeback and returns to bring his little sister home, only to find that some brat has already completely stolen her away!

The brat is irresponsible and cold toward Zhaozhao, nothing like he used to be. Ruan Shi forcibly takes Ruan Zhao back and introduces her to a dozen promising young men, but Zhaozhao turns them all down. She’s completely in love!

Jiang Ke climbs up to the third floor of the Ruan family home to rescue his imprisoned little wife, then comes face-to-face with the newly risen big shot.

He’s just about to throw a punch when Ruan Zhao cries out, “Jiang Ke, Brother, why are you fighting?”

Jiang Ke: So this is the idiot wife’s brother.

Ruan Shi: "Sob", why did Zhaozhao call that brat first and me second?

Note: A female supporting character is attracted to women and briefly has a “crush” on the heroine. There is a lesbian couple, so please skip this if that bothers you.
