Luring Him into My Arms [Love Grows with Time]

Growing-Up Romance, Older Man, Guiding Lover, Eight-Year Age Gap

When Jiang Kexin was seventeen, circumstances led Cheng Shi'an to take her in for a while.

Cheng Shi'an completely changed from his usual lazy, carefree rich-kid self.

He took care of every detail, from her meals and clothes to her daily needs and accommodations.

Her brother, Jiang Guanchen, complained, “She’s already a law unto herself. Now you’re spoiling her even more?”

-

On Jiang Kexin’s nineteenth birthday, Jiang Guanchen told her, “Cheng Shi'an’s family arranged a blind date for him. Her surname is Zhou. She’s well-mannered and around his age.”

After hearing that, she gloomily finished a whole bottle of wine.

When Cheng Shi'an hurried over, Jiang Kexin cornered him in the stairwell.

She wore a white spaghetti-strap maxi dress and leaned against the wall with her head lowered, her expression hard to make out.

“What’s wrong?” He bent down and asked softly.

“Do you like Miss Zhou?” Jiang Kexin looked up at him, tears about to fall at any moment.

“No.”

“What about me?” Jiang Kexin asked, enunciating each word. “Do you like me?”

That one question left the usually composed Cheng Shi'an completely stunned.

“Xiao Ke...” Cheng Shi'an carefully chose his words. “You’re my...”

Before he could say the word “little sister,” she silenced him with a kiss.

The world fell silent, and Cheng Shi'an felt his blood rush to his head.

The day after kissing him, Jiang Kexin blocked Cheng Shi'an on every channel.

That evening, Jiang Kexin received a call from an unknown number. The caller said nothing.

She spoke first. “Cheng Shi'an, I’m going through a breakup. You’d better not contact me.”

A soft sigh came from the other end of the line. “Then how about we start dating first?”
