You Said You'd Leave Me Alone, Yet You Tempt and Kiss Me Every Night

A powerful man loses control Marriage first, love later + whirlwind marriage + a slow-burn, sweet romance Just after graduating, Jiang Zhizhi discovered that her boyfriend of three years was cheating with her best friend. Heartbroken and having completely lost faith in love, she agreed to the marriage her family arranged for her. She had been promised to the Xie family’s son since childhood. Before they registered their marriage, Xie Mohan found Jiang Zhizhi and made his position clear: he wanted no emotional entanglements between them. In other words, he wouldn’t love her and hoped she wouldn’t fall in love with him either. That suited Jiang Zhizhi perfectly, so they quickly went and registered their marriage. Her new husband, Xie Mohan, was famous in the capital for being rigid and stern, taciturn, and someone everyone treated with a healthy degree of fear. People were saying that a marriage of convenience like theirs was probably just for show and wouldn’t last. Whenever Jiang Zhizhi heard that, she merely smiled. “That’s how a marriage of convenience is supposed to work, isn’t it? Aside from the duties we have as a married couple, we stay out of each other’s way. That’s just fine.” A year into their marriage, Xie Mohan saw her chatting and laughing with an older schoolmate at a bar. Unable to stand it any longer, he carried Jiang Zhizhi home and pinned her by the bedroom door, gently gripping her slender waist. “Zhizhi, promise me you’ll only smile at me from now on. Will you?” He had fallen completely, hopelessly in love. A sweet-voiced, independent little wife with a soft waist * A cold man who turns into a possessive, fatherly boyfriend / nine-year age gap
