The CEO Has Had a Secret Crush on Me Since Childhood

[Six-Year Age Gap] [Powerful Man Learns to Behave for Love] [Rekindled Romance]

1.

The Gu family, one of East Shanghai's most prominent and powerful families, had a cherished daughter named Gu Suihuan.

Rumor had it that she was beautiful and bright, as pure as a fairy untouched by worldly concerns. But in private, she relied on her family's influence and her beauty to get away with anything. Her romantic history was extensive enough to fill a book, and no one could control her.

After she dumped her ninety-ninth boyfriend, the Gu family, concerned about her reputation, made a snap decision in the middle of the night and arranged her marriage.

Her match was none other than Song Shubai, notorious in their circles for his womanizing ways.

As soon as the news broke, her friends gossiped about whether Song Shubai would be as wild after marriage as the rumors claimed. Who would have thought Gu Suihuan would merely arch a brow and say, "He's all right. I haven't noticed anything special."

That very night, she paid the price for those words.

Everyone said the Gu and Song families were joining forces, tying Song Shubai and Gu Suihuan together for their mutual benefit. They were sure the two would each do their own thing after marriage, but no one knew what had happened two years earlier.

Song Shubai had watched the girl make one clumsy attempt to flirt with him after another, and let himself fall for her all the same. Through countless dark nights, he held himself back, coaxing her softly in a low voice.

Unfortunately, before their relationship could ever see the light of day, the two had a brutal breakup. The lofty Miss Gu humbled herself completely, but she never even got to see the man one last time.

Gu Suihuan, raised in a life of comfort and sweetness, let her temper take over and swore to cut ties with him.

3.

Song Shubai, the third-generation head of the Song family, had become a different man since returning to China. Once flamboyant, he was now reserved and composed, leaving no fault for anyone to find.

Until one night at a drinking party, when Gu Suihuan accidentally drank a glass of liquor offered by an investor. Just as her consciousness began to fade, the person responsible was suddenly kicked away.

It was the first time Song Shubai had lost control in public.

In their marital home, Gu Suihuan finally learned how much the man had restrained himself over the past twenty years. A raging tide swept over her, and she could not break free.

Song Shubai pressed close behind her. Desire colored his usually unfathomable eyes, along with a darkness she had never seen before. "Sui Sui, you belong to me."

What she did not know was that during those two years of endless darkness, he had written that sentence countless times in places no one would ever notice.

Even when his life hung by a thread, the only thought left in his mind was:

"Make it back alive, and marry her."
