Arranged marriage to love / old flame rekindled / age gap / sweet romance
[1] The Ji family of Jing City is a distinguished clan, and their youngest daughter, Ji Chuling, is a household name. She grew up adored by everyone, famous for being spoiled and willful, and she spends money like water. Countless men have fallen at her feet, yet none have ever managed to rein her in.
Her life went smoothly for twenty-three years, until family interests forced her to marry Meng Yunan, a man eight years her senior: a financial tycoon, powerful and influential, and a stiff, boring old man renowned for his ascetic ways.
Ji's mother told her to be gentle and virtuous. Feeling terribly put upon, Ji Chuling was forced into the marriage and decided to be twice as willful, hoping to make him sick of her and get a divorce as soon as possible.
She sent him pictures of rare designer handbags: Husband, I want all of these.
The man: Buy them.
Her eyes lit up as she pointed at a Logan sapphire set worth hundreds of millions at an auction: Husband, can I have this?
The man: Sure. What else do you want?
When she was in a bad mood, she complained to him in a sugary voice: Husband, I don't want to live anymore, boo-hoo-hoo...
The man: Where are you? I'll come get you. Leave it to me.
No matter how much she kicked up a fuss, Meng Yunan indulged her every whim. Ji Chuling just wanted to see how long he could keep up the act. But some time later, she overheard him talking about her with a friend, his voice gentle: "No, she's very cute."
Ji Chuling: Huh??
This is infuriating! The sky is falling! How could this happen? QAQ
[2] Unlike Ji Chuling, Meng Yunan is mature, wealthy, gentle, and courteous. His private life is spotless, and he has never been linked to any romantic scandals.
When news of their marriage got out, people sighed that he had married a little tyrant and that the two would never last.
Everyone waited to see when they would divorce. But after a Meng family banquet one day, Ji Chuling cornered Meng Yunan in a secluded spot and clung to him. "Husband, give me a hug..."
Everyone expected to witness the cold truth behind their arranged marriage. Instead, they saw Meng Yunan pull her into his arms and murmur softly, "Drunk, and now you know how to cling to me?"
He nibbled her ear. "Call me 'husband' one more time?"
Everyone: ??!
Why is this nothing like we imagined?!
[3] Meng Yunan had no expectations for marriage. When it came to marrying Ji Chuling, he had only said he didn't mind. A marriage in name only would be enough.
But after getting a taste of married life, his self-control completely fell apart.
Once the floodgates open, there's no closing them again.
A marriage in name only wasn't enough. He wanted every part of her: every frown and smile, every pout and tantrum, her body and soul.
-She was a delightful surprise he never saw coming.
#I only wanted him to give up, but after I doubled down on being a handful, my husband loved me even more qwq
#Who said Meng Yunan was stiff and boring? He's super... ahem.
[Sweet and coquettish, a little spendthrift troublemaker] x [Stiff and aloof, a financial tycoon with more money than he can spend]
