Warm Gardenia [Marriage Before Love]

[My new novel next door, Heart-Fluttering Kiss, is now underway] Shen Yan, the head of the Bo Shang Group, is steady and reserved, a true gentleman, and especially blessed with a face that could rival any male star. When he was specially appointed as a visiting professor at Lan University’s School of Finance, the whole campus was in an uproar. Song Nuanzhi skipped the first lecture. On her way to the classroom for the second lecture, her roommate complained to her: "Be careful in there. It's bad enough that Shen Yan is icy, but his eyes are sharp, too. He'll catch you sneaking a look at your phone and call on you. If you can't answer, he'll assign you extra work. He only gives one lecture a month, and he's already this strict with the students. The employees at Bo Shang Group must be walking on eggshells under him." As soon as she finished speaking, they came across Shen Yan at the stairwell, dressed in a black shirt and radiating stern authority. The man finished his phone call and looked over expressionlessly. Her roommate was terrified. Trembling, she lowered her head, said, "Professor Shen," and pulled Song Nuanzhi quickly back to the classroom. Once they were in their seats, her roommate wailed, "Nuanzhi, I'm done for!" Song Nuanzhi comforted her gently: "It won't be that bad." - After evening class, in the back seat of the Cullinan heading from Lan University to Tianjin Yuyuan, Song Nuanzhi's clothes were slightly disheveled, and her lips were swollen from kissing. After a moment's hesitation, she said softly, "My roommate was scared by you today." Shen Yan lifted his eyes, the corner of his mouth curving almost imperceptibly. "Mrs. Shen, your roommate was the one talking about someone behind their back. What did I do?" ☆ Sweet, gentle beauty VS stern, old-fashioned business magnate ☆ Married first, love later, nine-year age gap, cozy everyday romance Theme: Wait patiently for the flowers to bloom, and good fortune will come.
