[Cold, ruthless powerhouse vs. sensitive, self-reliant sweetheart] Instinctive attraction | Devoted male lead | Age gap | Suppressed, restrained love that grows wildly | Humble, desperate pursuit
The whole city is guessing which heiress Mr. Luan’s kept woman belongs to.
No one knows that she walks back along the stone path with a drawing board on her back, humming as he hurries over after a meeting, eager to get close. But whenever someone passes by, he quickly hides, disgruntled, and waits for them to leave.
The girl said they couldn’t make their relationship public. He doesn’t even have a title yet. If word gets out, she’ll be angry.
Washing her feet, giving her massages, drying her back, warming her bed: those are all his jobs. He does them willingly, but his desire for a proper place in her life keeps growing. Yet the girl plays dumb and refuses him.
He dragged Qiu Hao into his conspicuous Klein-blue sports car. “What? Are you ashamed of me? Do you think I’m not good enough to show off?”
“If we keep sneaking around, people will think I’m the one who doesn’t want to make our relationship public.” They’ll think you’re a kept woman I’m ashamed of.
The girl decisively broke up with him, but the man begged with red eyes, abandoning all pride. In front of everyone, he turned himself into a scorned husband.
“I’m yours. You can’t leave.”
But the confession he’d schemed so hard to make finally came true one day. Qiu Hao stood beneath the flashing lights, her gaze firm. “I have the right to stand here and speak because I’m not only the company’s largest shareholder, I’m also Luan Yiheng’s wife.”
Later, he personally let the girl go, handing over everything he had. His eyes red, he said, “If I hold on to all this, you’ll never be able to run away.”
Years later, a folder landed on Luan Yiheng’s desk.
“I want your company. Hand it over, same as always.”
“From now on, I’ll manage all your money.”
“Here’s your contract of indenture, Mr. Luan. Sign and seal it!”
A rose needn’t grow taller. The Little Prince will bend down for her.
