[Marriage First, Love Later] [One-Night Stand Becomes the Real Thing] [Powerful Man's Forced Love] [Fighting Over Her] [Old Flame Rekindled] [Powerful Man with a Surprising Side] [Rich Family Love Triangle] [12-Year Age Gap]
[Abstinent, Shameless Second Young Master of a Financial Dynasty x Glamorous, Feisty Law Firm Partner]
On the night she was forced to agree to an arranged marriage with the Zu family of Luoling, Tang Xiyun was stranded outside a private club by a torrential downpour.
A man beneath the eaves approached with an umbrella and carried her into his car.
"Where to?"
The stranger was almost too polite.
Tang Xiyun curved her lips. "A hotel. Are you coming?"
The Zu family was old-fashioned and stubborn. Tang Xiyun was convinced the old man of the Zu family would never marry a woman who had slept around before marriage.
The next day, outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, the man from last night stepped out of a car, elegant and handsome.
His shirt was buttoned up to his throat. He looked composed and proper, nothing like the man in her memory, whose shirt had been unbuttoned to his waist and whose body had been burning hot...
He held an umbrella over her to shield her from the sun, then spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Lawyer Tang, you were pretty fierce last night. Playing the stranger today?"
Zu Shichen, a financial titan renowned for his abstinent, proper demeanor.
Behind closed doors, though, he would corner her against the wall, press his lips to her earlobe, and demand a reward, teasing her until she blushed every day.
Just as she began to fall for him, the first love who had gone abroad for her returned, and, of all people, he was Zu Shichen's nephew.
Her first love crashed his uncle into the ICU and asked her to start building a relationship with him again.
--
Zu Shichen had always hated women like Tang Xiyun, who ignored the age gap and insisted on marrying into his family. He had even suggested that she marry his nephew.
But when his nephew really came back to steal his bride, he refused to get divorced.
"Divorce? That's not happening."
"You and him... aren't right for each other."
"As long as the child you give birth to calls me Dad, I'll raise it, no matter whose it is."
