Childhood sweethearts | Love that grows over time | Healing and redemption
The darkest moment of his life came at twelve: both parents dead, the driver who caused the accident fled, and after helping arrange the funeral, his relatives cut off contact for good. All he had was his younger brother, and they had only each other.
The luckiest moment of his life came at fourteen, when Wen Ning found him.
Huo Zhiyan was grateful, but had no idea how to repay her. The nanny put it plainly: “You and the young lady are about the same age, and she doesn’t mind having you around. Spend more time playing with her and cheer her up. Easy, right?”
Wen Ning’s favorite game was playing house. So when she played the chef, he was the customer.
When she played the doctor, he was the patient.
When she played the princess, he was the prince.
But no one can stay childish forever. A princess can grow up and still be a princess, but he could only become a knight.
After hearing one too many snide remarks and roundabout questions about whether she liked someone of equal social standing, Wen Ning slowly swallowed the fruit he had fed her and pretended to be annoyed. “If you keep imagining things, I’ll make your suspicions come true tomorrow.”
“That won’t do!”
Huo Zhiyan tugged at the noisy trinkets on his outfit and muttered, “They won’t be as cooperative as I am. Don’t go.”
Rich young lady × kept man
*Kept man: a man with a gentle temper and a big appetite
