Private-Batch Roses

【Clear-eyed little ray of sunshine x refined scoundrel posing as a gentleman】 【Living under his roof + college campus + rival suitors + winning her back + possessive love】 - The year her father died in an accident, her mother started a new family with her new love, leaving Chu Ning an unwanted burden no one knew what to do with. Only one of her father's students, grateful for all he had taught him, was willing to take Chu Ning in. On a chilly, rainy night, he carried Chu Ning inside in one arm. He handed her a steaming cup of ginger tea, then said in a steady voice, “From now on, you're one of the owners of this home.” The little girl, who had always hated spicy food, drank every last drop of the ginger tea. - Gu Yizheng was the youngest head of the Gu family in the capital, and the older brother in the household where she lived. He was perfect in every way, except that he guarded the boundaries between men and women like a hawk, never letting her cross the line. At eighteen, she made the boldest decision of her life. Wearing nothing but thin pajamas, she climbed into Gu Yizheng's bed. She thought she was about to get what she wanted. Instead, he coldly picked her up and put her back on the floor. - After that night, she gave up on the idea of being with him and prepared to accept her childhood friend's confession and start a new relationship. But when he saw her with her childhood friend, the usually reserved and aloof man turned red-eyed for the first time. That night, Gu Yizheng carried her into the bedroom and pressed her against his neck, calling her name over and over. “Chu Ning, tell me you love me. Please.”
