[Wealthy older man + Delicate young heiress + Marriage First, Love Later + Nine-year age gap + Sweet Romance]
Mai Zi has a falling-out with Zhou Shu and goes out alone to drink her sorrows away.
Halfway there, her tire goes flat.
She has no choice but to call Zhou Shu, speaking in a haughty tone: "Do you have a moment? My car's broken down. Could you come pick me up? Thanks."
Zhou Shu replies, "Please wait nearby."
Seeing this, her friend looks worried.
"This is why you shouldn't marry an old man for an alliance. He's so clueless about romance and so cold. Are you two going to bow to each other before getting into bed, too?"
Mai Zi: ...
Less than ten minutes later, the older man picks Mai Zi up.
As soon as the car door closes, he covers her in kisses, scorching hot and insistent as he pries her lips apart.
Only when Mai Zi is breathless does Zhou Shu pull back slightly.
A low, hoarse laugh slips from his lips. "Mrs. Zhou, are you going to bow with me tonight and have a little Confucius?"
-
In her previous life, Mai Zi was betrayed by a scumbag, her appearance was ruined, and she died full of resentment.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the family banquet where the two families were arranging their marriage alliance.
In front of everyone, Mai Zi decisively dumped the scumbag and chose the man beside him: Zhou Shu, the true head of the Zhou family.
He was also the scumbag's uncle.
Everyone thought Mai Zi had gone crazy. How dare she provoke a man like him?
Later, the lofty president of Zhou Group bent down in front of everyone to put his little wife's high heels on for her, his voice full of affection:
"Honey, had enough fun? Let's go home."
