Luring the Rose

Elegant, cool, and much-adored heiress × older, powerful man with a serious facade and a truly devious nature [One-on-one romance / older man / both from top-tier wealthy families / both leads are virgins] Zhao Yanzhou first saw Wen Li at Windsor Brew on New Bond Street in London, when he watched her rush into her boyfriend's arms on the street. Before meeting Wen Li, Zhao Yanzhou's ideal type was no more than a vague silhouette. The moment he saw her, that silhouette took shape. But she had a boyfriend. His upbringing would never allow him to interfere in someone else's relationship. That night, a record of Wen Li's romantic history lay on his desk. - Wen Li was the eldest daughter of the Wen family in the capital, but she had been born and raised in the Huo household, where she was the most doted-on heiress of the Huo family in Aodao. She was stunningly beautiful, proud and forthright, but never arrogant or unreasonable. Unfamiliar with the roads in the capital, she crashed into a Bentley. The window rolled down. One glance was all it took for her to fall into those dark, captivating eyes, deep as an ocean. The man was dressed in a suit, calm and steady, with the distinctive charm of a mature man. Wen Li had never failed to get what she wanted. “Sir, I'm in a hurry. How about I add you on WeChat, and we can discuss the repair costs?” - One day, Wen Li took the initiative and said she wanted to pursue Zhao Yanzhou. She could clearly see that he couldn't hide his feelings for her, either. But the more time they spent together, the more she noticed his restraint and self-control, as he guarded the last boundary between them. Her passionate advances suddenly met with a cold response. Embarrassed and angry, she stormed off. - Zhao Yanzhou: “Wen Li, I'll give you time to think it over.” “Huo Xiaoli, you were the one who came after me first.” “Lili, you are my one and only Zorya.” [A rational, reserved older man bends for love. He indulges her temper and indulges her little schemes.]
