Caught in the Spider's Web [Older Woman-Younger Man Romance]

Six-year age gap | Long-planned pursuit | Older woman, younger man

Gentle, sensitive professor * Mixed-race bad-boy college student

Yu Yu is beautiful, fair-skinned, sensitive, and sensible. At a young age, she became a biology professor.

Then her boyfriend of eight years betrayed her.

She went traveling to clear her mind, shared a night of passion, and woke up to find a man beside her. The moment she saw his face, she wanted to get away from him.

Li Zhilan was born into the most prominent old-money family in Northern Europe. The media called him a genius painter, and one of his works sold for a fortune at Sotheby's.

Yet he fell for the woman at his uncle's side.

While away painting, they spent a night of passion, and at last he and she became lovers.

After they started dating, Li Zhilan was cool and distant in public, but in private he acted as if he had a constant need for physical contact.

"Kiss me."

"Use your tongue."

"Deeper."

She always thought he was just clingy and mischievous, until she saw him beat someone nearly to death with her own eyes.

Menacing, violent, and cold-blooded, he made her tremble with fear.

Unable to take it anymore, she accepted an offer from a lab overseas and fled far away.

Years later, they met again at a party. Yu Yu had just met Li Zhilan's inscrutable gaze when he strode over and pulled her into a lounge.

Dim lights. His dark gaze.

Before she could say a word, he sealed her lips with a kiss. He lifted her onto the cold bathroom counter, gripping her waist and taking what he wanted.

"You're feeling it too." Li Zhilan stared at her, his blue eyes clouded with desire, and pulled her hand down. "It's not just me. It misses you too."

"You're shameless!" Yu Yu's eyes were bloodshot as she slapped him hard. She heard her mother knocking and asking what was wrong. She hurriedly pushed him away and tried to leave.

But instead of getting angry, the man laughed and pinned her against the wall, turning on the shower. Warm water drenched them both. He bit down on her crimson ear. "That feels so good. Insult me again."

To Li Zhilan, the woman who was always by his uncle's side was the moon on a high terrace, the base and sordid dream of his entire youth.
