My Husband Is Fifteen Years Older! He Begs Me for Cuddles Every Night

Just after graduating from college, Xia Zhiwei was driven to the brink by her family.

Her father was weak-willed, her stepmother was harsh, and the family was buried in debt. They forced her to marry a rich, lazy young man from their village who had a bad leg, trading her marriage for the family’s security.

On a rainy night, with nowhere else to turn, she rescued fifteen-year-old Du Nian, who had been injured.

The boy’s father, Du Beichuan, was fifteen years her senior: a cold, taciturn CEO at the pinnacle of the city’s wealth.

To repay her kindness, he let her ask for anything she wanted.

Xia Zhiwei put everything on the line. She demanded an exorbitant bride price, a complete set of gold jewelry, travel expenses for the wedding day, and a gift for changing how she addressed her in-laws. All she wanted was a marriage of convenience that would let her escape the family exploiting her.

A marriage certificate bound them together. Du Beichuan immediately assumed she was greedy and vain. After the wedding, he deliberately kept his distance and stayed on guard, thinking he’d simply paid to keep a gold-digging girl.

No one knew she had never coveted a cent of his money. She worked three jobs in secret, scrimped and saved, and spent five years desperately building up her savings, all so she could repay him and divorce him with a clean break.

In the first year, he looked down on her coldly. By the third, his heart had softened and he secretly favored her. By the fifth, he was completely smitten and would give up everything just to keep her.

But Xia Zhiwei calmly placed a million yuan in front of him. “Mr. Du, I’ve paid you back. We’re even. Let’s get divorced.”

The powerful man who had always been in control fell apart. Eyes red, he clutched her and stubbornly begged her to stay. “Even? It’s too late! In my life, Du Beichuan, there’s only widowhood, never divorce. From now on, I’ll beg you to cuddle up with me every night. You’re staying by my side for the rest of your life.”
