A Slow Courtship to Marriage

【Bossy, fatherly CEO x sweet, soft-spoken firecracker; eight-year age gap; both virgins; love grows over time; the second male lead wins her heart.】 【A sweet romance, with a heroine who isn't a strong, independent type.】 Lin Zhiwei had loved Pei Xingzhuo since childhood. He was the one she wanted to marry, and even when his birthday wish was for her to stay away from him, she never gave up on that dream. But one impulsive, muddle-headed mistake got her into serious trouble with the Pei family's living demon. Pei Su was stern and ruthless in his dealings. Even Old Master Pei was wary of him. Lin Zhiwei had no choice but to beg him for mercy. His condition was: “Marry me.” He didn't force her, but proposed a one-month trial marriage. If they really couldn't get along after a month, they could pretend nothing had ever happened between them. Lin Zhiwei prepared to put up with him for a month. Who knew they wouldn't just live together like a normal married couple, but would also have to fulfill their marital duties? No matter how busy he was, he came home every night without fail to fulfill those duties with her. Their chemistry left her blushing and breathless. On top of that, she had endless spending money, luxury cars and a mansion, and he granted her every request. Who ever said he was a living demon? He was clearly the model husband! Pei Su had seen his younger cousin with a little girl trailing after him more than once. The girl had eyes only for his cousin. Pei Su thought it wouldn't be bad to find a wife like that someday. Then one chaotic, reckless night changed everything. He no longer wanted someone like her. He wanted her. She didn't want to get married? That was fine. He'd coax her into a trial marriage and keep it going until she wanted to make it permanent. Pei Xingzhuo: “Wait, what? I was just acting coy! How did I lose my wife?” When Pei Xingzhuo found out his wife had been stolen, he made a scene at the Pei family home. “Grandpa, my big brother stole my wife!”
