Little angel sweetheart x controlling powerful man | Seven-year age gap
1. When Shi Yangli was eight, her adoptive father claimed he could no longer afford to raise her and "sent" her to the outrageously wealthy Zhou family.
Wearing ragged clothes that didn't fit, her little pink-and-white face streaming with tears, she called Zhou Jinyan "big brother" when they first met, after her adoptive father repeatedly drilled it into her.
The fifteen-year-old, elegant young man came down the expensive wooden staircase and took her hand.
He held it for ten years.
Zhou Jinyan kept Shi Yangli by his side and spoiled her into Hong Kong City's brightest jewel.
Shi Yangli thought Zhou Jinyan was the best, though he was a little too controlling.
When she was nineteen, Shi Yangli asked to study abroad. Zhou Jinyan didn't refuse. He packed her luggage himself and arranged everything.
She hadn't expected it to be so easy. Even in her dreams, she had been looking forward to life after leaving the Zhou family.
On the night before she went abroad, Shi Yangli woke in a daze. The warm, damp night breeze blew through the sheer curtains on the terrace, making everything feel like a dream.
In the dark room, she vaguely heard a man's low, hoarse, ragged breathing beside the bed, near her pillow.

Shi Yangli went all the way to Los Angeles.
After a party, a classmate walked her back to her apartment, and the two stood downstairs chatting.
Under the streetlight, she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Her soft pink lips parted as she smiled.
When she opened the apartment door, a tall man came into view, leaning lazily against the windowsill. A cold glint flashed across his gold-rimmed glasses as he crushed the cigarette between his fingers.
He turned his head and lifted his eyes to look at her indifferently. Deep in his dark eyes, a violent fury was slipping out of control...
Shi Yangli's lashes trembled. She took a step back and clenched her fingers. "Big brother?"
"You have a boyfriend now?" Zhou Jinyan stood in the dim room, his burning knuckles tugging his tie loose until a button popped off. His Adam's apple bobbed as he held himself back. "Have you kissed him?"
