Pampered and Spoiled in His Palm

The eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Mingxuan, has captivating peach-blossom eyes and a bright, alluring presence.

The Su family arranged her engagement to the second son of the He family, He Zhizhou, when they were both young.

He Zhizhou is a notorious playboy, and with the wedding date approaching, he still spends his days carousing.

His friends urge him to rein it in before the wedding, out of respect for Su Mingxuan, so she won't call off the engagement.

He Zhizhou replies carelessly, "The Su and He families are bound to be joined in marriage. Who else could Su Mingxuan marry besides me?"

When word gets out, everyone waits to see Su Mingxuan become a laughingstock.

When the news reaches her, her best friend angrily curses He Zhizhou on her behalf.

Su Mingxuan remains calm and unbothered. "Who says He Zhizhou is the only one in the He family suitable for a marriage alliance? There's also He Qiheng, the eldest son of the He family."

*

The eldest son of the He family, He Qiheng, is steady, upright, old-fashioned, and stern. He is always proper and never oversteps.

Until one day, a friend notices him staring distractedly at his younger brother's soon-to-be fiancée.

His friend reminds him, "She's going to be your sister-in-law."

He Qiheng's gaze deepens as he replies calmly, "Not yet."

*

After being unable to reach Su Mingxuan for a long time, He Zhizhou goes to her home to beg for reconciliation, promising that he's completely cut ties with the woman he cheated with. Then he sees He Qiheng walk out of Su Mingxuan's room wearing a bathrobe.

He Zhizhou is stunned. "Brother, what are you doing here?"

He Qiheng looks at He Zhizhou's dark expression and says in a low voice, "Don't wake your sister-in-law."

*They marry first and fall in love later, with an eight-year age gap.

Coming up next: Addicted to You

The day Old Master Huo brings Chi Nuo home, he holds a welcome banquet for her.

At the banquet, the old master tells Chi Nuo that she can choose any of his three grandsons. Whichever one she picks will become her fiancé and inherit the Huo family.

The old master's three grandsons all try to win Chi Nuo's favor so they can inherit the family. She looks them over and picks the most handsome one.

Someone nearby reminds her that the man she chose isn't the old master's grandson. He's the old man's youngest son, the Third Master of the Huo family, Huo Yuanlin. He's been rebellious and unruly since childhood, has no interest in inheriting the family, and she should pick someone else.

Chi Nuo looks at Huo Yuanlin with determination. She won't choose again.

Huo Yuanlin sits with his legs crossed, not even lifting his eyelids as he says coldly, "Don't cause trouble for me." He has no interest in the Huo family.

Later, Chi Nuo keeps getting into trouble, and after Huo Yuanlin cleans up her mess, he scolds her with a stern face. "Can't you stop causing trouble?"

Chi Nuo blinks and smiles carefree. "Uncle, you don't have to take care of me."

Huo Yuanlin stares at her with a dark gaze for a moment. As she turns to leave, he grabs her wrist and pulls her into his arms. "Nuonuo, stop provoking me. When are you going to marry me?"

Chi Nuo pushes him away, beaming. "Uncle, I'm still young. I won't even consider marriage until I'm at least your age. Didn't you wait until this age to think about getting married, too?"

Huo Yuanlin is so angry his heart nearly stops. He can only swallow his pride and chase after her every day, begging her to marry him.
