Nurturing Roses

[Complete] A melt-in-your-mouth sweet romance / Eight-year age gap Blurb: 1 On a snowy night, Yan Su rescued a man covered in blood. Even in the snow, he had an air of elegance and distinction. After caring for him for quite some time, Yan Su wanted to avoid her family's efforts to arrange a marriage for her. Mustering her courage, she offered herself to him: "Why don't we get married?" The man froze for a moment, his dark eyes deep and unreadable. After a long pause, he gave a faint, amused smile and said in a husky voice, "All right." 2 Pei Shijin, the third young master of the Pei family, was known in Beijing's elite circles as an untouchable flower on a high peak. Cool, aloof, and indifferent to women, he had a host of young socialites secretly in love with him, all vying to win his favor. That was until one day, the third young master Pei returned from a trip with a young woman. "I heard that's Young Master Pei's new wife. He really cherishes her." "No way. He hasn't even acknowledged her at any formal event." "Maybe she forced him to marry her by getting pregnant?" Hearing the gossip, Yan Su silently took a bite of cake and thought to herself: It was a little over the top of me to selfishly ask him to marry me just so I wouldn't be married off to someone at random. That evening, back at home, Yan Su looked up at the man with a solemn expression. "Mr. Pei, why don't we get divorced? We're only pretending to be married anyway." Pei Shijin set down the documents in his hand, his gaze darkening as he held the young woman and kissed her again and again. "Susu, do you still want a divorce?" Yan Su blushed. "Mm..." 3 At the Huadu Art Exhibition awards ceremony, twenty-year-old Yan Su became the youngest Gold Award winner in the country. When asked about the inspiration for her winning painting, she looked at the young man seated at the center of the audience and pursed her lips. Jokingly, she said, "Maybe my husband?" The media stared in shock at the painting's subject and the "sugar daddy" in the audience: Pei Shijin, the big boss of Anhe Group, whose devastatingly handsome face looked uncannily like the figure in the painting. They managed an awkward yet polite smile. Everyone assumed the talented young woman was arrogant and out of her mind to actually set her sights on the noble and impeccable third young master Pei. - That evening, the banquet hall was packed, and camera flashes lit up the room without pause. Yan Su was being interviewed when a long, elegant hand with distinct knuckles suddenly entered the frame and briskly pushed away the media gathered to take photos and conduct the interview. The reporters looked baffled. "President Pei, what are you...?" The young man's cultured, slightly husky voice rang out slowly: "It's getting late. I'm taking Mrs. Pei home to bed." "...!!!" Later, a reporter asked Pei Shijin about the rumors that the young woman had married into a wealthy family to climb the social ladder. The man smiled elegantly. "My wife is the youngest Gold Award winner in the country. She married beneath her station. I'm the one who married up." When Pei Shijin was young, he once found a little rice-ball girl crying so hard her eyes were red because she couldn't solve a math problem. When they met again years later, the little rice ball had blossomed into the most fragrant flower under his careful care.

It was pouring that day. She and her roommate went to take shelter in the stands. The man walked toward them with a black umbrella, surrounded by admirers. The rain had washed the ring on his ring finger, but his eyes were still unfathomably deep, his manner casual and cool. Her roommate put an arm around her and quietly asked, "Do you know the president of JK Group?" "I heard he just returned from overseas." "He's young, successful, and so handsome. His name's nice too: Su Huai." "Too bad he got married young. I'm so jealous of his wife." Su Wanwan clutched the platinum ring hanging around her neck. After a long pause, she replied, "He's the brother I haven't seen in years, so I suppose you could say I know him." Not long afterward, he drove her home. In the underground garage, the man leisurely straightened his disheveled tie, wrapped an arm around her slender waist, and pulled her onto his lap. Slowly, he rubbed her bitten-red lips, then chuckled. "After all this, what kind of brother am I?"

Seven-year age gap. Theme: You are the light I spend my life chasing, and the love of my life.
