My Pearl

[Sweet Romance!! Gentle, sweet, radiant beauty x possessive young man in power]

[1]

Three days after graduating from college and flying back to Dongcheng from London, Qian Huan went to a convenience store one evening to buy something to eat. As soon as she stepped outside, the heel of her shoe snapped, and she twisted her ankle.

As she sat by the roadside, waiting for the pain to ease, she saw a group of people approaching in the distance.

The man at the front had a tall, straight figure and an air of refined elegance. Carrying his suit jacket, he had a touch of rakish charm.

Their eyes met, and the man quickly stopped. He told the others to go on ahead, draped his fine-quality jacket over his arm, and hurried to her side. Crouching down, he examined her injured ankle and asked, "Why did you come back early without telling me? I could have picked you up at the airport."

Qian Huan looked at him. "I got back the afternoon before yesterday. I didn't want to bother you, Second Brother. I thought you might be busy."

After graduating from a prestigious university, clever and accomplished Qian Huan started working at a well-known tech company in Dongcheng. On Friday evening, after work, she celebrated with her friends at an upscale restaurant. They were also welcoming her back, and then the restaurant suddenly sent over a lavish spread of food and drinks that they hadn't ordered.

When she looked puzzled, the restaurant manager leaned in and told her, "President Shen is dining here too. He saw you and said he'll cover the bill tonight. He hopes you and your friends have a wonderful time."

She messaged Shen Wenzhou on WeChat: "Thank you, Second Brother."

In Qian Huan's third week back in Dongcheng, her father called and told her to marry into the Xue family by marrying their third son.

The Xue family's third son was nothing but an irresponsible playboy. Furious and in tears, she firmly told her father she would never agree.

After hanging up, she turned around and saw Shen Wenzhou standing not far away.

The moment she saw him, she inexplicably started crying even harder.

Shen Wenzhou walked over and gently wiped away her tears. In a low, serious voice, he asked, "How about marrying me?"

The night Qian Huan agreed to marry him, Shen Wenzhou didn't sleep a wink.

He had known Qian Huan since high school and had spent years protecting her under the guise of being her older brother. At last, he was going to have a home with her.

That night, looking around the room, he wondered if he should buy a new place and decorate it just the way she liked.

[Bonus Scene]

When Qian Huan was studying in London, she saw Shen Wenzhou almost once every two weeks.

Shen Wenzhou had once casually claimed he was there on a business trip and was simply stopping by to see her.

It wasn't until one day after they were married that she learned that this busy, aloof, and chaste man had more often than not squeezed time out of his schedule to make a special trip to London to see her.

He was always thinking of her and couldn't bear to leave her alone in a foreign country.

He was also afraid she might fall for someone else one day.

#He had loved her for years.

[Sweet Romance!! Gentle, beautiful heiress x extremely possessive heir to a business empire]

[1]

On Wen Haohao's first day at ZL Group after graduating from a prestigious university, the newly appointed vice president of the group also started work that day.

She entered the lobby on the first floor and spotted the vice president walking toward the elevators in the distance. He was someone she knew: Lu Zhou, the heir to the group, and her senior from high school.

On her fifth day at work, just before closing time, Wen Haohao suddenly received a text: "Long time no see, Haohao. It's Lu Zhou. Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together."

[2]

Lu Zhou was born to be extraordinary, hailing from one of the country's most powerful families. He had a cool, chaste air about him. Everyone said he was devoted to work, uninterested in women, and nearly impossible to win over.

What they didn't know was that he had always had a beautiful girl in his heart.

Back in high school, the first time he saw that lovely girl standing tall and radiant at the school gates, his heart skipped a beat.

If health issues hadn't kept him in the capital, Beijing, recovering over the past few years, he would have pursued her long ago and made her his.

[3]

Wen Haohao never dared dream of being with Lu Zhou.

He was undeniably handsome, but his aura was so cold it made people wary. She liked gentle men, not men who seemed icy.

But the two families arranged a marriage, and she had no choice but to be with Lu Zhou. They agreed to a one-year marriage of convenience, with no interference in each other's lives after the wedding.

After moving in with him and spending their days together, Wen Haohao discovered that this refined, aloof young man was gentle and surprisingly easygoing in private.

His life was orderly and uncomplicated, and when he had no business trips or social engagements, he came straight home after work.

Scheming Lu: The girl he'd always longed for was finally by his side. Naturally, he would treat her with the utmost tenderness and hurry home every chance he got.
