Luring Her, Step by Step

At some point, Gu Huaichuan’s friends in their circle began to notice that he had changed.

Then someone spotted him lining up at a popular cake shop after work. He showed no impatience, and when his friends teased him, he simply smiled. “The girl at home loves these. You wouldn’t understand this kind of happiness without a girlfriend.”

When he had to drink at a work dinner, the man pulled out his phone.

“Hold on, I need to let my wife know.”

“You don’t have wives to check in with? That’s too bad. Unlike me, if I go home drunk, my wife will worry about me.”

“Keep drinking. Why are you all staring at me? Are you jealous that I have a wife?”

Everyone else: …

We just want to see you showing off like a peacock.

At last, Gu Huaichuan had won over the girl he’d secretly loved. At first, he pretended to be calm, but in truth, he wanted the whole world to know. Every day, he was itching to show her off.

Wen Shuyu initially thought they would be a respectful, reserved couple. She only needed to play the part of his girlfriend and keep her feelings buried. But as they spent more time together, she began to sense something was off.

Why was the look in his eyes growing more and more intense? It was as if he wanted to devour her.

When the little rabbit was finally carried home by the big bad wolf, she clutched her aching waist and glared at him furiously.

“You’re sleeping in the study tonight. You absolutely have to sleep in the study.”

Gu Huaichuan was in an excellent mood. He readily apologized, then picked her up and carried her out. “I was wrong, baby. What would you like for dinner tonight, hot pot or a nice meal?”

Wen Shuyu: “...”

She was angry, but there was nothing she could do about him.

She thought her secret crush would come to nothing, never knowing that the man had already fallen deeply in love with her that summer long ago.
