Taming a Wildcat

Eight-year age gap | Foster-care romance

★ Cen Ling once asked Huo Yucheng a question:

"Brother, will you get married?"

Huo Yucheng thought about it for a while.

"Of course. Someday there'll be someone I'll marry. We'll spend our lives treating each other with respect, without romance. That's all."

Cen Ling stood behind Huo Yucheng, waiting for him to turn around and look at her.

"What about you?"

But he didn't turn around.

"I won't."

She answered without hesitation.

That night, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle. The two people standing side by side were both lying.

The day Cen Ling stood outside the door and said she had decided to leave,

Huo Yucheng lost control unusually early. His voice was hoarse. "Suit yourself."

He stared at the sticky, filthy mess in his palm, dazed for a moment.

They were right.

Cats are simply impossible to tame.

News of Huo Yucheng's impending marriage alliance spread like wildfire,

but when they met again, he had no female companion with him,

and the woman rumored to be his future bride seemed determined to avoid him.

Instead, Cen Ling had her arm linked through that of Huo Yucheng's distant nephew.

She obediently greeted him with a new title: "Hello, Uncle."

Cen Ling remembered that he had only glanced at her hand clasped with Song Zhe's and murmured a quiet "Mm."

She never expected him to corner her in a dimly lit hotel suite after the banquet.

"You ungrateful little thing. I didn't raise you all those years just to hear you call me Uncle."
