A man who finally opens his eyes because of their age gaps. A woman who has had enough hope, knowing age is just a number. In the sea of emotions, who will give in first? ----------------- [EXCERPT] ‘ Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him!’ The hoe in me spoke up to kiss him. This made my chocolate nose twitch. I slowly got up to reach him, but my knees were already numb that it caused me to crash on his thigh, covered up with his white robe. Damnation! I'm so doomed. I raised my head to see those sharp-looking eyes staring at me in confusion. I felt something touching my cheeks. I think my cheeks are not on his thigh but his... Oh my goodness. I screamed inside of my head. I tug myself up in recoil. "I'm so sorry!" I'm so dead! My legs are still numb. I was about to stumble because of my numb knees but anxiously grabbed on his robe for support. He held me up. He was looking perplexed. "Ama, " his voice, hoarse, making it sound sexy. "You're still up?"

The fake daughter was forced to inherit billions of assets

[Completed] Warm Wine disappeared for 37 years and returned with his superpower. However, she accidentally wore it on the fake daughter who had been abandoned. Abandoned? Coincidentally, she could go back to find her brother. However, her eldest brother did not seem to treat her as a younger sister, her nephew did not treat her as a younger aunt, and her grandnephew did not treat her as a younger aunt. [Older Brother Over 60: Little Dimple, Big Brother has bought you cotton candy.] The middle-aged nephew said,"Auntie, it's my turn to pick you up from school today." His grandnephew, who was still a teenager, thought to himself,"Little Aunt, it's wrong to fall in love at such a young age!" Warm Wine: ??? Erm, listen to my excuses. I'm already a mature middle-aged man! Being treated like a baby, Wenjiu was very distressed. He could only divert his attention and seriously cover his avatar to increase his superpower, but... What was with this fake rich grandpa who suddenly appeared and wanted her to inherit the family property? The richest man's grandfather,"My dear granddaughter, do you have time to go home and inherit the family property?" Warm Wine: ??? The person involved expressed that he was a person with superpowers and did not need to have money. Moreover, she could not even spend all her money. ** The superpower was not very stable after the soul transmigration. Research showed that... She needed to get close to good-looking people and make them happy. The happier they were, the more stable they would be. Warm Wine was speechless. It didn't seem very reliable. Ji Xianyan, who had a good appearance, became the chosen prey. From then on, his mental activity became- - Why is she so nice to me? - Does she like me? - She must like me! One day, a young man with a bad temper blocked the path of the warm wine, his ears red,[I'm so annoying. I agree to your pursuit.] Warm Wine: ??? I'm sorry, I just want to be your little aunt.
