[Nine-Year Age Gap, Second Marriage / Male Lead Has Secretly Loved Her for Years / Long-Game Romance / Winning Her Over After Marriage]

They say a woman three years older is like a gold brick. I’m a bit greedy, so I’d like to hold on to a few more., Wei Yunzhou

When they first met, he went up to her as she secretly cried over her father’s death.

“Don’t cry, big sister. When I grow up, I’ll marry you!”

He offered her a diamond-ring candy. His childish boldness made her laugh. “By the time you’re grown up, I’ll be an old woman.”

It was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen. “Then I’ll grow up really fast!”

To keep up with her, he worked much harder than his peers.

At eighteen, he was admitted to the pharmacy PhD program at A University School of Medicine on a full scholarship.

He was eager to share his achievement with her, but instead he heard that she was getting married.

When they met again, her husband had passed away. To fulfill her grandfather’s last wish, she needed someone to enter into a marriage of convenience with her.

And at last, he was sitting across from her.

“Hello, I’m Wei Yunzhou. I’m twenty-three, and I have a PhD in pharmacy.”

When Qiao Xi learned that the young man in front of her was nine years her junior, she spat out her coffee. “Did the matchmaker forget to tell you I’m thirty-two?”

“I know.”

Qiao Xi: Kids these days really don’t want to put in any effort.

Wei Yunzhou: I worked incredibly hard to finally make it to your side.
