[Seven-Year Age Gap] [Slow-Burn Romance] [Gentle, Self-Restrained Older Man] [Mutual Pining] [Both Pure and Faithful]
When Yu Qingshu was eighteen, Yu Xuheng brought her home.
He taught her the rules, gave her the best of everything, and protected her from harm.
She thought of him as an elder.
When she was twenty-three, she confessed her feelings. He was silent for a long time, then said just one thing: "Qingshu, you're still young."
She thought he was rejecting her and ran away for a year.
A year later, he called her back, reclaimed her parents' company with his own hands, and returned it to her.
She thought he was finally willing to face her feelings.
But he was still as gentle and restrained as ever. His gaze softened whenever he looked at her, yet he never crossed the line, not even by a fraction.
At last, she couldn't help asking, "Do you even like me?"
He was silent for so long that she thought he wouldn't answer.
"I do," he said. "But you'll meet someone better."
"I don't want someone better." She looked him in the eyes. "I only want you."
Again, he said nothing for a long time.
"I'm seven years older than you," he said. "When you're forty, I'll be nearly fifty."
"So what?"
"So..." He lowered his head, as if laughing at himself. "I'm afraid you'll regret it someday."
She said nothing more. She simply walked over and wrapped her arms around him.
He stiffened for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and rested it on her back.
His hand was trembling.
Only then did she realize that he was even more afraid than she was. Afraid she'd regret it, afraid she'd suffer, afraid he couldn't give her the best life.
But she had never needed the best.
She only needed him.
It's so good to watch, it's really good to watch. I haven't seen such a plot in this world for a long time. The male protagonist is so nice, he feels very young, the male protagonist comes from an older generation! Does anyone understand? Come read this treasure novel! 🥰🥰🥰[Admiration]
So pretty! Can't stop at all! The male protagonist has a good temper and is very tolerant of the female protagonist! The other two pairs of deputy CPs also have their own highlights! One is a secret love, a bit like a yandere man, and the other is a forced love. There are so many elements in a novel, why isn't it popular? So pretty! 🥰🥰[Admiration]
It's so good-looking, this male protagonist respects the female protagonist incomparably! Although it's not as forceful as other tomato articles, I can't help but it looks so good! The male protagonist is gentle and delicate, treats the female protagonist very well, and responds to her every request! Highly recommended! 🥰🥰[Admiration]
The gentle young male protagonist guides lovers, never negates the female protagonist, and gives her a lot of security [admiration]
The type I still like [admiration][admiration], a young man, a young man, he is going to dominate me.
It's so cool to see the pair of Yuchi Xiao and Jiang Mo! Is this Yuchi Xiao too crazy to criticize? But it's so cool!
This book really shocked me. Maybe it's because I've read too much about forced love. Sometimes when I look at this kind of gentle young man, it has a different flavor!
