Craving Her

Fragile, clingy beauty × Abstinent, devoted CEO [Marriage First, Love Later|Ultra-Sweet Romance with a Happy Ending|Both Pure|Mature, Devoted Powerhouse|Age Gap] Tao Shuyao was born with a heart condition, a delicate beauty treated like a fragile medicine jar and cherished in everyone’s hands. A horrific car accident took away the parents who had loved her dearly, and her grandfather brought her back to the water towns of Jiangnan. Because of a long-standing engagement arranged years ago, she marries Pei Yanxu, the business tycoon rumored to keep everyone at arm’s length. But why isn’t he like the typical domineering CEO? He’s surprisingly gentle. Before the wedding, Pei Yanxu was indifferent and detached, viewing the marriage only as a promise to his elders and having no intention of getting emotionally involved. But after the wedding, his heart gradually and completely falls into Tao Shuyao’s hands. Everyone else thinks their marriage alliance is nothing but a cold arrangement of duty, and waits to see the new bride make a fool of herself. That is, until they witness this man who stands above the clouds spoil the petite young woman until she becomes a rose in his palm that no one dares touch. Tao Shuyao thinks she has simply moved somewhere new, where she can quietly enjoy the refined life of a wealthy wife. Only when the man holds her captive in his arms does she realize how naive she was. The young woman turns her tearful eyes away to dodge his kiss, then slaps him across the face without holding back, her voice soft and coquettish. “Didn’t you say you weren’t interested in love?” Pei Yanxu leans close to her ear, his voice low and magnetic. “Wife, I was just pretending.”
