10-year age gap | Coercive romance | Cross-cultural love

#The commanding man is a rude capitalist who has no decency#
#If he says he’s going to force a marriage, he means it#
#He steamrolls everything#
(This story shares a world with the neighboring story about Theodore and Shen Sijia. Eddie is Theodore’s older brother, in charge of the family’s less-than-legal affairs.)
Liang Yixiao had no intention of taking this man who looked like he was about to die back to her apartment.
It was just that the man who looked like he was about to die said that if she would kindly take him in, he would offer her a price she couldn’t refuse.
Of course, if she turned him down, she also had to consider whether she could handle the gun in the hands of a man who looked like he was about to die.
She looked at the man, all bulging muscles. His arms were thicker than her thighs. It was obvious she couldn’t take down this man who looked like he was about to die.
Liang Yixiao: Damn capitalists and their muscles!
She used every bit of strength she had to haul the man, who looked about 190 centimeters tall, back home.
Following the man’s instructions, Liang Yixiao tended to his wounds. She thought he’d stay for one night and leave her a handsome sum of money in the morning before walking out of her apartment.
Things looked rosy in her imagination, and even better in reality.
The people hunting Eddie Winstead mistook Liang Yixiao for his girlfriend and added her to their hit list too.
Liang Yixiao: Wait, you’ve got the wrong person!
*
As the most powerful and wealthy old-money family in M Country, the Winsteads had produced two presidents, a high-profile presidential candidate, governors, and members of Congress. The family could do whatever it wanted in M Country.
Eddie Winstead ran the family’s affairs and its portfolio of businesses. Wealth, power, status: whatever he wanted, he could have.
Except... he had never experienced a normal relationship.
Of course, he didn’t care.
When he cared about love, he’d have it.
So when Liang Yixiao brought him home, he knew that what he wanted had finally appeared before him.
On their wedding day, he was the only one who was happy.
