A Wife Worth Cherishing

If someone asked what the happiest thing in Chen Shao’s life was, he would say: “I picked up a little wife.” The most painful thing? Chen Shao: “Having my little wife right beside me, but only being able to look and not touch.” The most successful thing? Chen Shao: “Raising my little wife until she was as lovely as a flower, captivating thousands of young men and making them die of envy and jealousy!” After they met, a sweet, adorable little shadow began following him everywhere. * The year Yi Ran met Chen Munan, she gained a new identity: Chen Yiran. Everything she had came from him. To her, he was like a father and an elder brother. He loved and doted on her like the closest of lovers, and was also the guiding light that illuminated her whole life! With him by her side, she faced both good times and bad with courage, never complaining. She said, “I used up all the good luck in my life just to meet him!” But he said, “Now that you have me, you don’t need good luck on your side.” * [Bonus Scenes] NO. 1 In public, he was a superstar, aloof and imperious, with an impossibly cool attitude. But no one knew that in private, he could also be gentle and quiet, attentive to the smallest details. Sometimes he was carefree and silly, childish as a young man. At the dinner table, he asked with a serious expression, “Chen Yiran, your homeroom teacher called to say you’re dating someone?” Chen Yiran gave him a helpless look, pulled a “love letter” from her schoolbag, and tossed it onto the table. “Read it yourself.” The man unfolded the letter and was left speechless. Damn that homeroom teacher! How could he mistake the lyrics he’d written for her as a love letter? So he called the teacher and protested indignantly, “Mr. Liu, about what you told me yesterday, that the girl’s dating someone, I need to clear something up. That love letter, no, that letter was actually lyrics I wrote for her...” The homeroom teacher exploded. “Oh, so that’s what it was! But, Mr. Chen, as her guardian, you should set a good example. You shouldn’t let a child get involved in this sort of thing so early...” After a lecture on morals, the man lost his temper. “I’m not explaining this to you anymore. Believe it or don’t!” He hung up and said indignantly to the girl, “Remember this: if you’re going to date someone early, it can only be me.” Chen Yiran’s mouth twitched. She was so flustered she could barely breathe. NO. 2 She was an honest, kind, well-behaved girl who always listened to him. That was why he couldn’t get enough of her. He often said they were made for each other. After dinner, the man sprawled on the sofa, bored, watching his little wife do her homework. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He took out a script and said with a serious expression, “Put your homework aside for now. Come rehearse a scene with me.” Chen Yiran stretched, then wearily sat down beside him. She took the script and glanced at it, surprised. “A kissing scene?” He raised an eyebrow. “Yeah. Let’s practice first.” Chen Yiran: “Uh... all right.” After they finished kissing, she belatedly asked, “Do we have to do this when you’re filming, too?” The man looked smug. “Of course.” The well-behaved girl got jealous and stopped talking to him. He hurriedly added, “There’s a stand-in.” Chen Yiran: “Then why do we need to practice?” He would never admit that he was just being lecherous. Chen Munan: “...”... Important note: A modern romance about raising a girl, one-on-one, with no limit to how much he spoils her. A slightly slow burn, mostly heartwarming with a touch of comedy. The author is sensitive and easily hurt, and hasn’t experienced many storms in life, so there will be no contrived drama or angst. I’m aiming for the warmest, most romantic, indulgent love story. If you love sweet romances, feel free to add it to your bookshelf!
