Taking the High Road

(Stealing Her from Another Man / Scheming to Rise in Status / Secret Love Comes True / Older Woman-Younger Man Romance)

Yun Mian's breakup with her ex-boyfriend was absurd. She went with him to meet his parents, and they mocked her for being too old. The worst part was that her spineless boyfriend didn't object. Who could put up with that?

But she's only twenty-six, in the prime of her life. She's more than young enough for their thirty-four-year-old son, isn't she?

Furious, Yun Mian slapped the jerk and cut ties with him for good.

Barely had Yun Mian broken up with the jerk when his little nephew stopped her beneath a tree.

“My grandparents wouldn't let you marry that cowardly old man, huh?”

“Who said anything about letting me? I just don't think much of your Gu family,” Yun Mian retorted. “Tsk, it's a shame you won't get a beautiful aunt like me.”

Gu Chen scoffed. “I never expected you to become my aunt.”

Yun Mian pinched him. “After all the kindness I've shown you, I can't believe you've grown up to be so ungrateful.”

Gu Chen stepped forward and wrapped an arm around her waist, resting his chin against her shoulder. “You're wrong. I've always been on your side.”

He tempted her. “So, want to join forces with me and get revenge on that jerk?”

Gu Chen was twenty, and devastatingly handsome. Before she knew it, Yun Mian had been lured onto his boat...

The jerk's parents nearly choked with rage when their grandson brought Yun Mian through the door. But their grandson was a pampered rich kid, and they couldn't hit or scold him, so they could only try to reason with him.

“With your looks and circumstances, you could find any beautiful young woman you wanted. Do you really have to steal your second uncle's?”

Gu Chen drawled, “I happen to like women six years older than me. Younger ones just don't do it for me.”

“And what you just said is insulting. What do you mean, ‘steal’? I saw with my own eyes when my girlfriend dumped him. I got together with her fair and square.”
