The Hong Kong media are abuzz: Shen Jichuan, head of the Shen empire, is wheelchair-bound with both legs disabled, yet has secretly kept Lu Yan, CEO of Starlight Technologies, for five years.
Nobody knows that when Lu Yan first met Shen Jichuan at nineteen, he set aside his pride and became his kept lover for three years. But when he finally clutched a ring and confessed his love, all he got in return was, “I'm bored with you. Get lost.” Heartbroken, he left.
Five years later, Starlight Technologies is on the brink of bankruptcy.
With nowhere else to turn, Lu Yan knocks on the door of Shen Group's private room No. 2 and signs a humiliating contract, becoming his “pet” once more.
He thinks the sharp edges have been worn away, never realizing there's a trap hidden beneath Shen Jichuan's blanket, and that his frail appearance is a charade he's kept up for ten years.
That night, Lu Yan catches Shen Jichuan rising smoothly to his feet and pinning him against the floor-to-ceiling window. “Trying to run? You're not going anywhere.”
The truth catches Lu Yan completely off guard. He flees to London that very night, convinced that Shen Jichuan, being “disabled,” can't follow him.
But when they meet again, Lu Yan has only just finished laughing and chatting with a business partner before Shen Jichuan drags him into an alley and kisses him fiercely, gripping his waist. Someone tries to intervene: “Mr. Shen, Mr. Lu, he...”
“The moment he came of age, he should have been mine.”
Shen Jichuan wipes the moisture from the corner of his mouth, possessiveness surging in his eyes. “This time, I'll pursue you on my own two feet. Don't even think about hiding from me again.”
