[Older Man + Healing + Women’s Growth + Nurturing + Intense Push and Pull + Instinctive Attraction]
Fresh out of college and unemployed, An Lan had nowhere else to turn, so she applied to be live-in assistant to Pei Yuan, a disabled CEO.
Pei Yuan was once the heir to the Pei family. A car accident five years ago left him with a broken leg, a vicious temper, and a no-strangers-allowed attitude. On her very first day, he made things difficult for her. “Since you like water so much, change the water in the pool today. By hand.”
She gritted her teeth and endured it. Her monthly salary of thirty thousand was the only hope of keeping her mother, who was bedridden in the hospital, alive.
She thought he was just bad-tempered.
She never expected that one bowl of medicinal wine would lead to him pinning her to the bed, and from then on, their bodies entwined day and night.
By day, he was a cold-faced boss; by night, he was a beast.
She fell deeper, he held back. She confessed, he stayed silent. She thought she was the only one falling for the other
Until the Pei family tried to force him into an arranged marriage.
In front of everyone, he pulled her onto his lap and laced his fingers with hers.
“The only woman Pei Yuan will ever have is An Lan.”
Then he personally taught her business, negotiation, and etiquette, using the harshest methods to mold her into the mistress of a top-tier wealthy family.
“An Lan, I won’t say I love you. But remember this, ”
“You’re the one I chose. You have been since day one.”
