Could It Be That You Love Me?

[Big Bad Wolf + Secret Crush Comes True + Forbidden Love + A Woman's Growth]

Shanshan once thought marrying Zhou Zexun was the dream come true of her secret crush.

Until the night of the birthday banquet, when her entire worth was reduced to “carrying on the family line.”

She suddenly saw clearly:

Their love could never break through the family's iron walls.

Her dream would suffocate within the confines of that grand old mansion.

At that moment, she tore up the marriage contract with her own hands and left for a foreign country.

She had no idea that the man who wielded power in political and business circles, yet always held himself to the strictest standards, had been watching over her in silence.

When she started over in a foreign land, Du Qiuhe finally stopped holding back.

With a transfer order, he sacrificed his career to follow her, just so he could stand by her side openly.

He taught her French, giving her a seemingly simple sentence to translate:

“Ma seule douceur, c'est de t'aimer.”

Shanshan furrowed her brow as she pieced it together: “My... only... sweetness... is...”

When she finally understood, she looked up abruptly and met his burning gaze.

There was no teasing, no testing her, only a sincere heart laid bare, almost too hot to touch.

He said each word slowly:

“It means I love you.”

“From now on, when you don't feel like being sensible, you don't have to be.”

“With me, you can be spoiled for the rest of your life.”
