After Running Away from My Wedding, I Moved in with My Fiancé

Wen Ran stays at a classmate's house to avoid getting engaged to a man he's never met. While traveling abroad, his classmate sends him a message: "This is my uncle's address. Go stay at his place for now. I've already talked to him." Wen Ran knocks on the door on Friday night. A refined, handsome man opens it. Wen Ran greets him politely. "Hello, Uncle! I'm Wen Ran. I'll be staying at your home for a while." The man looks Wen Ran up and down, nods, and lets him in. Three weeks later, Wen Ran messages his classmate: "Your uncle is so nice. He brings home delicious food after work every evening. He ordered this milk tea before leaving work." His classmate replies: "Bullshit! There's no way he'd come home in the evening. He stays out late every day. He posted a video of himself clubbing yesterday." Wen Ran sends him a photo of the milk tea. Two minutes later, his classmate messages him again: "That background doesn't look like my uncle's living room... Ranran, are you sure you're at my uncle's place right now?" Wen Ran thinks back on all the strange things that have happened over the past few days. He packs his things and is about to leave. The elevator doors open, and the man steps out. He naturally takes the suitcase from Wen Ran's hand. "Ranran, are you here to welcome me home from work?" Wen Ran stiffens. "Who are you, exactly?" "I suppose I'm your fiance, though you did stand me up." The man speaks gently, his gaze never leaving Wen Ran. "I thought perhaps you'd agree to marry me once you'd gotten used to living together." That night, Wen Ran's browser search history reads: "Ways to raise your IQ quickly," "What is an obsessive control freak?" "How to break off an engagement with a cunning fiance," and "Will a control freak kill me if I leave?" A few months later, Wen Ran's browser search history reads: "What's the best birthday gift for my fiance?" and "How do I get my fiance to kiss me only once a day?" An older-man, sweet romance. Content warnings: 1. Thirteen-year age gap. 2. In the eyes of outsiders and casual friends, the top has a romantic past. In reality, he's never dated anyone. Both leads are virgins, and the top has never been intimate with anyone other than the bottom. [There was an issue in chapter six due to the author's careless writing. It has been fixed.] For an enjoyable reading experience, readers who are extremely attached to one character should proceed with caution, or read the comments for warnings first. 3. The top does not choose from a harem of potential partners. He chose the bottom from the start. Their original arranged marriage was supposed to be for appearances, and after the divorce he would have given the bottom tens of billions in compensation. As they spend time together, they both fall in love, with the top falling first, and that's why they end up together. 4. If you don't like it, you can simply stop reading. Please don't make personal attacks. I hope everyone can find a story that suits their tastes. Theme: Grow through adversity.
