[Stealing Her Away, Step-by-Step Scheming + Forbidden Tension + Six-Year Age Gap + Fatherly Boyfriend]
Everyone in Beijing’s elite circles knew that Xie Qingyan was cold, distant, and indifferent to others, like a moon high in the heavens.
Shen Yutang also kept her distance from this uncle of hers, though they weren’t related by blood.
That is, until her fiancé abandoned her, flying off to a battlefield in Africa to protect another woman.
As she fretted in despair, Xie Qingyan said calmly, “Would you like to get a different husband?”
…
After their marriage, she and Xie Qingyan became a couple in name only.
People said Shen Yutang had married above her station and that they weren’t a good match.
She happened to mention it with a smile, but that night Xie Qingyan pinned her against the pillow and asked in a low voice, “How are we not a good match?”
The next day, she saw that Xie Qingyan had posted on Weibo of his own accord: “I coveted you, and did everything I could to make this work. We were made for each other. @Shen Yutang.”
Only then did she realize how long he had loved her.
Her eyes suddenly reddened.
What she thought was a bright new beginning was, in truth, the long and winding road Xie Qingyan had traveled for her.
In this novel, I feel that both the heroine and the hero are quite reserved at the beginning. It is only at the end that the heroine understands the sincerity of the hero. The pairing of the heroine's best friend and the hero's childhood is also interesting.
