A Blind Date and a Whirlwind Wedding: My Rough-and-Ready Husband Is Too Blunt

[Small-town supermarket tough guy x county-seat accountant + straightforward matchmaking + two-year age gap + slow-burn sweetness]

Lin Xiaowan went on seven blind dates. The men she met were either stingy, bizarre, or handsy.

On her eighth, Zhao Tiezhu sat across from her and got straight to the point: “I'm here to find someone to marry. If you think we're a good match, let's give it a try.”

She thought he'd lose interest in three minutes, like the others.

But the next day, he took her to pick out their wedding gold, agreed on the bride price without hesitation, and got their marriage license without dragging his feet.

Lin Xiaowan was shy and quiet, and worried Zhao Tiezhu would find her dull.

But Zhao Tiezhu said, “You don't have to say much. Just listen to me.”

For the first time after marriage, she felt what it was like to have someone protect her: secure, at ease, with someone firmly in her corner.

It's just... he's far too blunt, saying whatever comes to mind. She's a little too bashful to handle it.
