A Marriage Between Wealthy Families: Honey, I Didn't Mean to Sleep in Separate Rooms

[Love after marriage, older man, bittersweet romance, secret marriage, intense push and pull]

(Glamorous, coquettish beauty × older, paternal Daddy type)

As the Dai family’s adopted daughter for twenty years,

Dai He had been a commodity with a price from the very beginning,

waiting to be sacrificed for the family’s interests at any moment.

But no one expected Lou Hejing, a favored son of heaven, to pass over the real heiress and specifically ask to marry her.

With the elders of both families present that day, he looked past everyone else and said to her:

“I’ll agree to the marriage alliance, but I want Dai He.”

Dai He thought he’d agreed to marry her because he figured she’d be easy to control.

Besides, they’d barely spoken to each other growing up, and she didn’t expect them to fall in love.

After the wedding,

Dai He went to dinner with friends from work after finishing a photoshoot.

Lou Hejing suddenly showed up and pulled her away in front of everyone.

He took her to the car, pinned her against the seat, and kissed her. Unable to hold back, she slapped him.

“Are you crazy?”

Lou Hejing gazed at her, his eyes full of yearning, as if he wanted to devour her.

He took her hand and placed it over his heart, his voice tinged with hurt.

“Wife, why am I the only one who misses you? It’s not fair.”

Lou Hejing in Dai He’s eyes: [Cold] [Proud] [Beyond reach] [Looks at people like they’re trash]

The real Lou Hejing: [Seduction] [Scheming] [Wife, be nice to me] [Wife smells so good] [Can’t live without his wife]

During a typhoon, Dai He was stranded on an island, curled up on the sofa and watching the storm outside.

A figure approached from a distance. Lou Hejing came through the door looking thoroughly bedraggled and pinned her beneath him.

He kissed her lips with exquisite care.

“Want a divorce? Believe me, I’ll die right in front of you!”

(Yeah, older men are awesome. No explanation needed.)
