Daddy’s Little Girl Chases a Mature Tycoon, Then Gets Kissed to Tears After a Whirlwind Wedding

[A true marriage-first, love-later romance + older, devoted husband + slow-burn tenderness + nine-year age gap; sweet, doting, one-on-one romance with both leads devoted only to each other]

Strict, fatherly man x sweet, gentle, resilient woman

Wen Jiahe had always been well-behaved and considerate. Just after graduating, her family demanded she enter a business marriage, but the man they chose was a playboy.

While trying to run away, she rear-ended a car.

A man stepped out of the back seat, dressed in a black suit. His red-soled shoes struck the ground with steady purpose, and crisp, tailored fabric framed his long, straight legs. His handsome face was cool, and his presence intimidating.

On a sudden impulse, she went with him to register their marriage.

Wen Jiahe had always thought he was an ordinary businessman.

But the playboy she had been expected to marry respectfully called her “Auntie.”

Looking at her intimidating husband, Wen Jiahe realized there was more to him than met the eye.

Zong Tingxu had spent years dominating the business world. Austere and strict, steady and restrained, he was ruthless in his methods and sharp in his judgment. After building his career abroad for years, he returned home to become the head of a top-tier wealthy family.

His family had been pressing him to marry, and sent him a photo, telling him to go on a blind date.

To his surprise, the person who had rear-ended his car was the very woman in the photo.

No need to wait for a better day. They might as well get married now.

In his eyes, Wen Jiahe was just a little girl who was still wet behind the ears. He had no time to date her, and he certainly wouldn't fall in love with her.

Until one day at a banquet, Zong Tingxu was listening to small talk with his usual cool reserve when someone sharp-eyed noticed a colorful doodle on the back of his hand.

Curious, they asked, “Mr. Zong, do you have a little one?”

Zong Tingxu gently touched the mark on his hand. His eyes were unusually tender, and a faint smile played on his lips.

“My wife was fooling around. She's no different from a little kid.”

Everyone was in an uproar. The famously strict Mr. Zong, who kept women at arm's length, was actually so indulgent toward his wife!

[Love is a man who has always kept his desires in check losing control and kissing her until she cries; it is raising a sweet, gentle little flower until she grows spoiled; it is helping her grow and find happiness. Love makes even the powerful bow their heads.]
