Older man | Redemption
*
On the summer solstice of 2016, Yu Pei escapes from a dinner party meant to groom her and begs the uncle of the Pu family, a man she'd met only once, to give her a moment of safety.
Pu Cun silently smokes three cigarettes, then drives her home with him.
Pu Cun isn't warm, and at times there's a hint of impatience in his casual manner. Yet he steadily catches Yu Pei as her life suddenly plummets.
Just before she turns nineteen, during the Christmas season when international flights are packed, Yu Pei goes dozens of hours without sleep, traveling through several airports in pursuit of an answer. All she gets in return is:
"Yu Pei, you shouldn't expect anything from me besides money."
Two years after graduating, Yu Pei returns to China with her project. On a snowy night at a mountain worksite, their car gets stuck on a snowy slope, but she avoids Pu Cun, who has come to pick her up.
That night, the man leans in a dimly lit hallway, still looking as casual as ever. But as she passes him, he suddenly says, "Is not knowing me more important to you than your own life?"
Yu Pei clenches her fingertips and looks back calmly. "I only need to know your money."
*
The Pu family is a distinguished household, and would-be relatives and connections crowd their doorstep. Yet the younger son, Pu Cun, has had no official partner for years.
Everyone who knows him says the second young master must have impossibly high standards. Yu Pei once thought so, too.
Until one day in bed, Pu Cun, suppressing his jealousy, sneers that she's "having an affair" with him.
Only then does Yu Pei realize that this proud darling of heaven, who seems to look down on everyone, could actually be her secret lover, with no official title.

Fake uncle and niece, 11-year age gap, bittersweet-sweet-sweet happy ending
Theme: Love is the courage to walk the road of life again.
The time spent with Xiao Shui must have made my uncle feel like home. I really like the way they get along now. They are getting familiar with each other, and they are changing for you little by little. With such a big age difference, changes in their relationship will not make you feel sudden.
Okay, okay, just update it stably
It's best for someone who is not gentle like uncle to be gentle🧋
This book is like a breath of fresh air among many articles of the same type, but the more it is like this, the better it gets, and it's delicious🎉
It makes me laugh so hard that someone has a tough mouth and a bad temper. Let's see what you say if we really talk about it🐶
When I saw this, I suddenly felt that the redemption in the introduction should be two-way. The female protagonist experienced the gap of loss. The male protagonist had everything, but the emotional discipline he received came from his close parents. How ironic.
How is this different from dating?
I can't do it anymore. My uncle's concern is a bit too obvious. Even others can see it and he still talks harshly [question mark]
It's so annoying, someone cares so much, one or two of them came out of nowhere [question mark]😂
I felt that Xiao Shui really looked like a little dog. I waved and followed him🥺
