Everyone in Beicheng knew that Jiang Youchu, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, was the only exception in Xiao Boting's hands.
She relied on his preference for eight years to "dominate" in Beicheng. Even if she broke the news, there would always be a calm and restrained man to clean up the mess for her.
Until Xiao Boting was recognized back to the Zhou family and became the powerful heir. With a family connected by blood and a perfect marriage partner, everyone was waiting to see Jiang Youchu laugh at her for finally losing her backer.
But at a celebrity banquet, I saw the arrogant eldest lady hooking the new leader's tie, tapping the pear dimple on her cheek with her fingertips, and smiled: "It's stained by wine."
Amid the gloating eyes of everyone in the audience, Xiao Boting, who had always been dignified and distant, bowed his head and kissed away the non-existent drop of wine under the silent gaze of the audience. Seeing her frowning, he coaxed in a gentle voice, with indulgence that no one could see in his eyes:
"Be good, let's go home and make trouble again."
When she was a child, she was disciplined by him, scolding him as a "bastard" and swearing to cut off all contact with him.
Later, when the red tent was warm, he rubbed her slender ankles and admitted in a deep voice:
"Yeah, I'm an asshole."
"But Youchu, you are bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh."
——From childhood sweethearts to unwavering love, he raised her with his own hands, and then devoured her with tenderness.
This is a sweet story about protection, waiting and ultimate preference.
