Crossing the Line

[Foster Care Romance] [Older Dom Uncle] That year, Ruan Qingxue sat by the roadside, holding a box of dance dresses. A refined, distinguished man with striking features walked up to her. His tall figure cast a shadow over her as he asked, "Do you want to come home with me?" Ruan Qingxue was brought back to the Qi family ancestral home by Qi Ye, and called him Ninth Uncle. For the six years she spent with the Qi family, Qi Ye raised her to be pure and polished, a lovely girl surrounded by wealth and comfort. But she kept a secret. She had fallen for Qi Ye's dazzling, passionate nephew, her older brother, Qi Sinian. After Qi Ye went abroad, Ruan Qingxue accepted Qi Sinian's confession. The two of them carried on in secret, avoiding the eyes of the family. Then one day after Qi Ye returned to the country, he happened to find Ruan Qingxue's phone. The screen lit up. A message came from someone saved as "Brother," a blatant little "Baby." Qi Ye took off his gold-rimmed glasses and loosened his tie. The cold light from the phone screen was gradually swallowed by his dark, sullen eyes. * After a breakup following an argument, Qi Sinian stood outside the study, apologizing and begging her to stay. Inside, Ruan Qingxue was pinned against the door. Her dance dress was bunched around her waist, and the buttons of the impeccably tailored suit chilled her back until she trembled. "Ninth Uncle, we can't..." The man behind her gripped her chin cruelly. "Louder. Let him hear." 1. A difference in build and a seven-year age gap. 2. No intimacy before adulthood. 3. SC, 1V1. Blurb revision archived on 2024.3.1 Blurb for The Pack of Wolves Closing In: The wealthy Huo family of Hong Kong has a daughter so beautiful it is almost excessive, noble and pampered, cherished by her parents and three older brothers. Until the biological daughter arrives at their door with a paternity test report. Jiang Wu goes from being Hong Kong's adored, pampered beauty to a nanny's daughter. No longer the family's little sister, the beautiful porcelain doll is suddenly surrounded by wolves. Jiang Wu doesn't realize what is happening and can only cry in frustration. "Big Brother, does this mean it'll affect my Paris fashion show next month, my Dubai vacation, and my custom Hermes Kellydoll and butterfly diamond cake?" The man's shoulders and arms were broad. Sitting on the leather sofa, he gently patted her back with a large hand, veins faintly visible. "I have an idea." Jiang Wu looked up at him through teary eyes. But Huo Qingzhi's gaze was deep and shadowed. "Marry me." Jiang Wu admitted that she married Huo Qingzhi in a fit of anger, partly to get back at him. She never meant to take it seriously. But later, the Hong Kong media failed to catch Jiang Wu at her lowest. Instead, she continued to come and go with the Huo family as usual. Her second brother took her out to clear her mind, and her third brother threw her a yacht party. She was also acting intimately with the Huo family's eldest son, the most unsociable one of all. The media couldn't help asking what their relationship was. Jiang Wu explained in a sweet, girlish voice, "They're just my brothers." Late at night, tears at the corners of Jiang Wu's eyes were shaken loose. Huo Qingzhi rubbed her reddened eyes roughly with his long fingers. "They're just your brothers?" "Have either of them ever treated you like this?" After their secret marriage was exposed, Jiang Wu discovered... her three brothers had started fighting. Reader's Guide: 1.
