Falling in Love After We Marry

[My next novel is The Next Time Love Comes, a second-chance romance] [Blurb for this novel]

After the senior she'd had a crush on for years married her best friend, Lu Jia went alone to drink by the river and mourned the end of her girlish dreams.

When she woke up, she was in the guest room of Su Yanli's home.

The mature, dependable man handed her a glass of honey water and asked gently, "Lu Jia, would you marry me?"

Lu Jia was shocked. "But you're Wanwan's uncle!"

--Wanwan was the friend who had married Lu Jia's senior.

Su Yanli said, "I'm only older in terms of family rank. In reality, I'm just a few years older than you."

Lu Jia hesitated. "But I like someone else."

Su Yanli curved his lips into a smile. "I know. Anyway, I just want a suitable wife to appease my elders. It's fair to both of us."

Later...

Lu Jia went to Su Yanli's office to have lunch with him, but overheard him chatting with a friend inside.

His friend joked, "You went to all that trouble to get your cheap niece to seduce your wife's senior, then went around in a huge circle to marry her. Was it worth it?"

Su Yanli replied casually, "Of course it was. The person I want can only be mine." He paused, then gave a soft laugh. "Besides, it's good to teach her a lesson, so she won't act like a fool and let some loser keep stringing her along."

[Blurb for the upcoming novel The Next Time Love Comes]

When they divorced, Xiang Wantang and her ex-husband had one strikingly similar demand: neither of them wanted the assets. They both wanted to keep Doug, the little dog they'd raised together for three years.

After much back and forth, Xiang Wantang won custody of Doug, along with several properties and some cash, and agreed to her ex-husband's request to pay Doug's support costs monthly.

Later, after they rekindled their romance, Xiang Wantang asked Su Zhiqiao, "When you insisted on paying me monthly for Doug's upkeep, were you trying to leave us a chance to get back together?"

Su Zhiqiao glanced at her, one eyebrow raised. "You only figured that out now?"
