Fake Good Girl vs. Older Man, age gap / running away with a child Ji Xianxing had a secret no one knew. She fell in love with someone when she was sixteen. He was a friend of her uncle, eight years older than her. Later, no matter how clearly she hinted at her feelings, Zhong Yi only treated her like a child. She quietly worked hard, waiting to grow up and become mature. On her twentieth birthday, she finally got what she wanted, but soon afterward she heard that he was getting engaged. Ji Xianxing suddenly understood. He would grant her every request and dote on her, but he would never love her. Without a word, she went abroad as an exchange student and vanished without a trace. When they met again, the young girl had grown into a dazzling beauty. She smiled radiantly at the man beside her. Zhong Yi walked over and smiled as if no one else were there. "A Xing, you see me and don't even know to say hello?" Ji Xianxing looked at him for two seconds, then greeted him respectfully. "Mr. Zhong." Zhong Yi's heart seized. When he noticed the child beside her, whose features looked somewhat familiar, he was even more incredulous. "Whose is it?" Ji Xianxing didn't even blink. "It's definitely not yours." The usually composed and reserved Zhong Yi's eyes reddened. His voice was so hoarse it hardly sounded like his own. "My A Xing is getting better and better at lying." 2 Zhong Yi always had a little girl with him. She was sweet and beautiful. Later, something happened, and the girl left. Zhong Yi seemed fine on the surface. His career was booming, and his stock market value multiplied several times over. But he grew increasingly gloomy, so much so that his buddies no longer dared invite him out. A few years later, the girl came back. His friends all let out a sigh of relief at once when they saw him going out again. There was a barely concealed air of smug happiness in Zhong Yi's eyes. "I'm busy. I have to go home and get the kid to sleep." Note: 1. This may be an unconventional groveling romance. You don't need to tell me if you're dropping the novel. Let's part on good terms, and maybe we'll meet again someday. January 6 Coming soon 1: I Quit Being a Professional Stand-In Qin Si'ang rose to fame at a young age. He was handsome, wealthy, and had a great personality. The wealthy socialites in his circle should have flocked to him, but they only dared to admire him from afar. Everyone knew his refined appearance was just a facade. Deep down, he was vicious. Especially after his first love died. People even said he had gone mad long ago. A few years later, a young woman appeared at Qin Si'ang's side. She looked at least ninety percent like the woman from back then. The wealthy socialites in their circle sneered at her. "You're just a stand-in. Don't think he'll ever really love you." Yu Youran put on a tearful expression, covered her face, and walked away. Then she turned around and messaged Qin Si'ang's assistant to ask for this month's acting fee. She diligently played the part of her own stand-in every day. Unexpectedly, one day she got into a car accident and remembered her past. When Qin Si'ang heard the news, the usually composed man rushed to the hospital with his suit buttons misaligned. Yu Youran looked at him coldly. "Boss, I quit!" #I'm my own stand-in?# #Forget that million-yuan salary. I'm done!# Half a year later, Yu Youran had transformed into a glamorous star. At a press event for her new drama, the host followed the script and brought up the on-screen couple. Yu Youran answered according to the script, leaving no room for criticism. Backstage, the din of the crowd had yet to die down. Qin Si'ang pressed close and bit her red lips as if punishing her. He leaned by her ear and asked hoarsely, "Who gave you the nerve to call someone else 'big brother'?" Coming soon 2: I Became the Scumbag's Aunt Chen Chuchu got a boyfriend, a young master of the Gu Group. Everyone said she'd married up. But Chen Chuchu felt that her boyfriend was rather cold toward her, and would sometimes stare into her eyes, lost in thought. Later, she attended a family gathering as his fiancee. A powerful man sat at the table: the current head of the Gu family. She was too intimidated to approach him. Gu Yi put an arm around her shoulder and proudly introduced him. "Call him Uncle." The man glanced at her shoulder, then looked at her without a word. Chen Chuchu felt uneasy under his gaze, but pushed down her suspicions and called out, "Uncle." Gu Siqing looked away. Only after the two of them had walked off did he scoff softly. "That little thing has no conscience. She's forgotten me." On her wedding day, Chen Chuchu finally learned that she had been treated as a stand-in and made a laughingstock. She ran out of the wedding venue and crashed into Gu Siqing's car as he arrived for the wedding. The man got out and looked down at her. "You're ready to die over some brat?" Gu Siqing's tone gave nothing away. After a few seconds, his voice turned slightly low. "Come with me. I'll spoil you." Being your stand-in is out of the question! But being your elder is fine. Chen Chuchu gritted her teeth and agreed. Later, Gu Yi was so fed up with his first love's constant pestering that he remembered how good Chen Chuchu had been to him. Drunk, he called her late at night. Gu Siqing answered. His voice was flat as he said, "Don't disturb your aunt's sleep." "Aunt?!" Much later, Chen Chuchu asked him, "Were you really going to the wedding that day?" Gu Siqing answered simply, "To steal the bride." Theme: Prosperity and democracy
