Drifting Gently Across the Waters [Marriage Before Love]

[Updates at around 9:30 p.m. every night. I’ll let you know in advance if I need to take a break. If you’re interested, please add it to your favorites~ Thank you!] To repay the Yan family in full for raising her, Yan Du agrees to marry into the Tan family. They register their marriage and begin living under the same roof. Yan Du thinks: If we treat each other with respect for a year, I’ll be free again. As the heir to the Tan family, Tan Yunsheng is mysterious and cold in public, a man of wealth and refinement who seems utterly heartless. The wealthy families of the capital all give him a wide berth. At first, Yan Du keeps her distance, and neither of them gives an inch. Then, during an unexpected collaboration, Tan Yunsheng glimpses the sensitive, thoughtful heart hidden beneath her cool exterior. After that, he’s the first to cross the line, doing everything he can to get closer to Yan Du. A year into their marriage, Tan Yunsheng firmly holds Yan Du in his arms, his hand gripping her waist and his fingertips resting against her warm skin. He places a light kiss near the corner of her slightly upturned eye and says, “The agreement doesn’t count anymore. Please don’t leave me, okay?” On their first New Year’s Eve together, Yan Du stands by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching magnificent fireworks bloom in the sky. Tan Yunsheng walks over, slides his hand along her waist, and pulls her into his arms. Bending his head to whisper in her ear, he says, “Yan Du, let me give you a home.” She stares at him, dazed, as his voice turns tender. “And you’re the unexpected surprise of my life.” Surgeon x wealthy CEO Content notes: Marriage first, love later; they have no romantic feelings at the beginning. A gentle, slow-burn, sweet romance. Both leads are virgins, happy ending. The medical information in this story comes partly from online sources and partly from the author’s imagination.
