When a sweet little bunny runs into a cunning big bad wolf.
A carefully planned “chance encounter,” and a deep devotion built up one step at a time.
Shen Xinyue thought it was just an ordinary family dinner. It wasn’t until she was pushed in front of Huo Wenhao, the notorious playboy heir, that she realized she had become a “marriage alliance bargaining chip.” The champagne she flung at him was her final act of defiance.
Then Huo Yuhuai appeared, like a deity descending from the heavens. He was the true power behind the Huo family, aloof and celibate, with immense influence. He came to her rescue and wiped away her tears, earning a dependent yet unfamiliar, “Uncle.”
That one word, “Uncle,” reminded Huo Yuhuai of the soft little dumpling from his memories, striking the deepest, most secret part of his heart.
Since his moon had fallen right into his arms, how could he possibly let her go?
From then on, the iron-fisted CEO who ruled the business world became the ultimate “hunter.” He planned for every possibility and used every trick in the book:
He politely warned the men around her, then made sure their projects ran into trouble.
He paid off her roommate to cause a rift, just so he could “naturally” bring her into his territory and keep her close.
He used self-defense lessons as an excuse to hold her in his arms. As he watched her ears turn red, a deep smile filled his eyes.
But Shen Xinyue thought he was merely a considerate “elder,” and even worried that he was “old and frail.” She brewed goji berries in a thermos for him, gave him a massage chair for his birthday, and caused one hilarious misunderstanding after another.
Only after Huo Wenhao, who had relentlessly pursued her, finally came to his senses, and the scheming female rival Lin Wei’s plots were gradually exposed, did she ask:
“Huo Yuhuai, have you been scheming against me from the very beginning?”
The man pinned her against the wall, his voice hoarse. “Yes. From the moment you called me Uncle, I never intended to be your uncle.”
