Primrose set the wine glass in her hand down on the table, the corners of her lips curling into a very faint curve. The twinkling lights of the bar shone on the side of her beautifully made-up face, combining with a seemingly empty smile on her lips, making Primrose's appearance even more charming. The bottle on the table stopped, barely stopping in front of her, making her classmate even more agitated."Okay, Primrose, it's finally your turn."Primrose just casually stroked the wine glass neatly on the table, listening to the howls resounding around the noisy bar. She looked up at her best friend, Nancy, sitting beside her, her lips slowly releasing words."I choose Dare."Nancy let out a gasp and moved forward to push Primrose's shoulder, her voice unable to hide her excitement."So, you want to try some stimulation before meeting your future fiancé?"Referring to this phrase "future fiancé", Primrose felt even more disinterested. She had spent more than twenty years living a peacefu
The next morning, the first rays of the new day passed through the pale blue curtains, shining into Primrose's eyes and making her dizzy. The sharp pain in her waist made her unconsciously recall a hot night yesterday. Her face also flushed red. She hesitantly stretched out and sat up, looking at the person still sleeping soundly beside her. The corner of her lips couldn't help but curl up in an amused smile.Well, it's not like she's the one she chose, but she's really good-looking. Straight nose bridge, sexy thin lips, and bottomless pit eyes lose the opposite person. The more Primrose looked, the more refreshed she felt. She leaned out of bed to leave and finally quietly left Joel a note."You did very well yesterday. I am very satisfied. If I have the opportunity to meet again, I will definitely stay with you one more night, I promise."When she was done, she left the paper on the table, picked up her bag, and left. At this time, Primrose noticed that her phone had two missed calls
The first time she encountered a funny situation, Primrose was confused, while the oligarch, Joel, was extremely pleased. He took a sip of tea on the table and raised an eyebrow at her provocatively. If it weren't for her parents still around, she would definitely step in to expose his indifference."Okay, it's happened anyway. You better sit down. Joel's family is here today, so we can meet and discuss your marriage."Primrose's father was still a gentleman, after all. He helped Primrose sit down on the sofa across from Joel's house. Before many eyes were focused on her, she did not dare to say many words; she only dared to quietly observe the situation on this side.The atmosphere quickly calmed down, and the adults in the house began to talk about something together, but Primrose couldn't listen because, at this time, her mind was full of images that weren't meant for children at night. yesterday. She bitterly bit her lip, knowing that this shame would soon arise. If she died yester
After Joel's return, as expected, Primrose was "taught" by her parents. That's right, even though they usually love her very much, getting married is very important, and she's rebellious to this extent. For people with traditional views like theirs, it's also a big deal.Primrose quietly sat on the sofa for two hours, listening to her parents constantly explain that girls should pay attention to their appearance and act tenderly and modestly instead of being so rebellious that they dye their hair before the wedding day."Primrose, please keep in mind that you are an adult and take responsibility for your own actions. Be careful with every single thing you do."Primrose's father harshly reminded him that he had no choice but to nod repeatedly to show that he understood. Her mother, sitting next to her, was also quick to help."Right. Fortunately, Joel is a delicate and kind guy. He doesn't complain about my hair. Next time, pay more attention."Primrose heard the sentence, casually nodd
The meal began. Not beyond Primrose's expectations, the story still revolved around her and Joel's marriage. Both sides of the family agreed that they wanted the wedding to take place as quickly as possible. After all, both of them were not young anymore.Primrose sat next to Joel, not knowing how to interrupt her parents' conversation, just trying her best to finish the food in front of her quickly and by eating as badly as she could. Anyway, she didn't think any family would love a daughter-in-law who ate as much as if she hadn't eaten in a month like this.Primrose ate happily, trying to make a loud chewing sound to show her ignorance. Joel next to him was extremely lenient and kind enough to help her order more dishes she liked. Primrose ate until her cheeks puffed up."Can the wedding be next month? Then Primrose's work will be less, very free. That time is very reasonable."Primrose's father spoke up, and Primrose choked on the food in his mouth, covering his mouth with a dry cou
Things always happen in a way that no one expected.On the day of the wedding, Primrose's parents wanted her to be the most gorgeous bride at the party, so they woke her up early to prepare everything. So poor Primrose had to wake up early in the morning, yawn, and be helped by the makeup artist to put on her wedding dress.As she looked at the white dress covered with glittering stones, Primrose suddenly felt a little dazzled. Although she is not knowledgeable about gems, nor does she know what the names of the stones attached to the wedding dress are, she dares to assert that their value is definitely not small. Her dress was still fluttering in the wind, and for a moment, Primrose thought she would look a lot like a princess straight out of a fairy tale.In the confusion, Primrose also did not know when she arrived at the venue. This is a luxury five-star hotel located in the heart of the city, both luxurious and expensive. When her parents mentioned the location, Primrose also open
The party ended, and Primrose had to move to Joel's house to stay. The two were already husband and wife, and living together suddenly became legal. Although Primrose wanted to hide, her clothes and belongings were soon sent to Joel's house, where they were unchangeable.So, in front of the harsh gazes of adults, she could only try to be happy and get in Joel's car to return with him. In her heart, she cried silently, not knowing what her future would be like. When the car pulled to a stop, Primrose knew her anxious moment had come and quietly looked around. Joel helped her open the car door. She slowly got up and couldn't help but admire the luxury of the house Joel was living in.Indeed, the residence of a billionaire This is a villa located in the most expensive residential area in the city; the price is more than just the word "expensive."The villa looked spacious at first glance, and Primrose thought it might be larger than the lavish hotel they had gotten married in. There is al
Finally, as Nancy said, Primrose and Joel had dinner together in a luxurious five-star restaurant, surrounded by warm golden candles. The scene is so romantic that there are a few bright red rose petals on the table, and the soft violin sound resounds around, making Primrose suddenly feel as if she and Joel are a couple in love.Primrose was taken aback by this sudden thought, biting the fork in her hand."What's wrong? Isn't the food here delicious?"Joel saw Primrose on the opposite side in a daze, handed her a plate of pre-cut steak, and asked softly. The overly flattering sound made Primrose shake her head, dispelling her embarrassment by eating a piece of beef that had been cut into small pieces. How can it not be delicious? The price of each dish in this restaurant is very expensive; she is "indirectly" eating those US dollars. Of course, they must be fine food."How old are you? Why aren't you so careful when eating?"While Primrose wasn't paying attention, there was a small str
In the familiar tone and warmth that radiated from Joel's hands, Primrose quietly watched the video being played on the large screen. It was a video of her and Joel's love story, starting from the day they got married after their crazy first encounter.Primrose didn't know how Joel had compiled and edited them into this video, but everything felt incredibly genuine. From their initial excitement and awkwardness on their wedding day to the gentle kiss they shared, it all felt real.The video shifted as the two of them moved in together. Primrose saw herself and Joel sitting at the same dinner table; there was no communication between them, not even a glance exchanged. It was a bit amusing.Throughout, Joel kept his head tilted, watching Primrose closely and observing every expression on her face. He witnessed Primrose's emotions as she looked back on their past. By this point, the video continued playing, showcasing the gradual bonding between Joel and Primrose. Amid the soothing piano
Time passed calmly in the afternoon; at least while working, Joel didn't play any mischievous tricks or surprise Primrose with sudden kisses. She was comfortable and didn't need to be cautious anymore. She spent the afternoon leisurely, wearing AirPods and watching TV shows, and then returned home with Joel.Initially, Primrose had some difficulty adjusting to this unusually comfortable life, but it quickly became a habit. She was entirely satisfied with her current job and Joel's attentive care for her.After returning from the company, instead of cooking as usual, Joel ruffled Primrose's hair and mentioned that they would dine out tonight. Occasionally, Joel would book a table at some famous restaurant for dinner, so Primrose didn't question it. She obediently went upstairs to freshen up and change.When she emerged in an intricately designed white dress, Primrose slowly smoothed her hair and smiled sweetly at Joel."How do I look? Do I resemble the most beautiful woman in the world
Since boarding the plane, Primrose has remained cautious of Joel as usual, maintaining an extremely cold and distant attitude and not uttering a word to him. Joel had grown accustomed to the silence and indifference, so he didn't dare disturb her, sitting up straight with his back against the seat.After a while, Primrose began to feel drowsy and quickly leaned back against the airplane seat, falling asleep. Joel made sure to carefully place a thin blanket over her to keep her warm before closing his eyes to rest as well. Waking up early had left their bodies tired and sleepy.A few hours later, as Joel drifted into sleep, he felt a slight weight on his shoulder and a sweet fragrance wafting around his nose. He turned his head to look, and his gaze became even more tender as he saw that Primrose had rested her head on his shoulder and was sound asleep.Her smooth white face had a faint rosy hue, her nose gently rising and falling with each breath, and her eyes were closed beautifully.
When Primrose spotted Nancy ahead, she let out a relieved breath, enthusiastically skipping over to grab Nancy's hand. Nancy was somewhat surprised by Primrose's overly excited reaction, staring at her for a moment to search for any unusual expressions. Unable to resist, she asked,"Why are you suddenly so happy to see me? It's quite rare."Hearing this somewhat teasing remark that caught her off guard, Primrose pretended not to understand and tugged Nancy along ahead. Of course, she couldn't share the recent events with Nancy; otherwise, Nancy would offer advice that wasn't really suitable for their age and would only make Primrose more embarrassed when facing Joel.The four of them arrived at the restaurant together, falling into the habit of couples sitting side by side. Primrose was still sulking about the earlier incident with Joel, so when he pulled out a chair for her, she merely let out a cold huff before sitting down slowly, intentionally avoiding looking at Joel even once. J
Joel walked quietly, and Primrose followed, leaning her head against Joel's broad shoulder. Neither of them spoke, but both could vaguely sense the gentle heartbeat of the other.A sweet, elusive sensation enveloped the space, making the sun-drenched journey feel warmer and gentler.By the time Joel carried Primrose back to the hotel, she still remained in a dreamy state, not fully escaping that unfamiliar emotion. Joel carefully carried Primrose into the bathroom and helped her wash her feet. The cool water slowly awakened Primrose as it trickled down. She lifted her head to look at Joel, their gazes meeting tenderly, filled with unexplainable emotions."Take a shower, sweetie. I'll wait for you."Joel lightly kissed Primrose's forehead and left. She mechanically picked up her clothes and entered the bathroom. The warm water enveloped her, dissipating the haziness within her, yet Primrose remained absentminded, thinking about the warm words Joel had spoken earlier.The sincerity of h
Upon returning to the hotel, the first thing Primrose did was slump onto the large bed, sighing continuously."If I had known that going out would make me this tired, I wouldn't have invited everyone for a cruise."After a few hours on the cruise ship and a lunch break earlier, Primrose's energy had been depleted, leaving her too tired to even sit up. Joel smiled, gently using a makeup remover pad to clean Primrose's face and remove her makeup carefully, then affectionately wiping her nose with a tissue."Alright, stop complaining. Change your clothes and take a nap. We'll go for a beach walk this afternoon.""If you're really exhausted, I don't mind helping you change clothes."Joel raised an eyebrow and winked mischievously, successfully making Primrose slightly flustered as she sat up, rushing to the bathroom with her clothes. She quickly changed into a comfortable set of pajamas and once again lay down on the bed, feeling the softness of the mattress and blankets."Can I sleep at
In the days after returning to work, Primrose had a lot of free time and planned the upcoming trip with Nancy for the two of them and their boyfriends. Although it had been mentioned before, and furthermore, Brian and Joel had never had an official meeting, Primrose and Nancy were both eager to push for this trip.Regarding the planning, since Primrose was currently the freest person in the company, she did most of the work. This ranged from choosing suitable places to visit to selecting a hotel. Concerning Primrose's choices, the others had no objections, so on a beautiful weekend morning, all four of them set off to Country A together.Joel carried luggage for both Primrose and quietly followed behind, while Primrose cheerfully carried her handbag ahead. She excitedly held Nancy's hand, who was being helped with her suitcase by Brian, strolling and enjoying the city's scenery.The two men glanced at each other and chuckled softly, suddenly feeling camaraderie.After arriving at the
When Primrose woke up for the second time, it was already quite late. She blinked a few times to fully wake up, then looked around the room. Perhaps by this time, Joel was in the kitchen cooking, so she also got up leisurely, folded the blanket, and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. After that, Primrose put on her pajamas and went downstairs to find Joel yawning and tousling her slightly messy hair."Awake now, sweetie? Did you sleep well?"Since he had heard the faint footsteps from the stairs, Joel knew that Primrose was awake. He took off his apron and hung them neatly, then approached to help Primrose adjust her slightly messy hair before pulling out a chair for her to sit at the dining table."Are you ready for breakfast? I'll get it for you."Primrose was still not fully awake from her dream, her gaze flickering lazily. Water droplets from washing her face still glistened on her fair complexion, but Joel carefully wiped them away before bringing her breakfast.As requeste
Indeed, the next day, Primrose's condition had improved significantly, and her temperature had returned to normal. When she woke up, she mentioned to Joel that she wanted to go to the company, but it was evident that Joel didn't agree.Despite that, Primrose was still feeling weak, so she decided to rest for another day to fully recover. Furthermore, the company was under Joel's ownership now, so she didn't need to exert herself unnecessarily.Finally, Primrose lay on the bed, casting a frustrated and resigned glance at Joel, leaving him feeling somewhat bewildered about how to respond. After a momentary internal struggle, Joel gently stroked her soft hair, now lightly scented with the fragrance of lavender."Alright, fine. I'm concerned about you, so I don't want you to go to the company and tire yourself out. It's only seven in the morning, get some more sleep."Since her request had been denied, Primrose didn't want to show a favorable expression towards Joel, so she turned her hea
