The Younger Green-Tea Boy Pretended to Be Poor. It Was Just a Fling, So Why Is He Crying?

A Reformed Playboy Landlady vs. A Brooding, Scheming Younger Man

(Not related by blood, and they’re not on the same household register)

The handsome younger guy Long Yue casually flirted with called her Auntie.

He was the son of Long Yue’s sister, who had been switched at birth and reclaimed by her wealthy family twenty years ago. Now he had come to stay with Long Yue.

The boy wept beautifully as he said, “After Mom died, I had nowhere to go.”

His features reminded Long Yue of someone from her past, and her heart softened. She let him stay.

Jiang Yunkai said he was a terrible student who had entered the workforce before finishing school. Long Yue used her connections to find him an easy job.

At first, Long Yue was simply looking after the poor kid who had traveled so far, as his host and aunt by marriage, with no blood relation between them.

As time went by, somehow Jiang Yunkai ended up keeping Long Yue firmly under his thumb.

In public, their friends teased them, “Your young man keeps a seriously close eye on you.”

Long Yue shrugged helplessly. “He’s just being childish. Don’t mind him.”

In private, Jiang Yunkai cornered her against the wall. “Ever seen a kid this grown-up?”

Long Yue was carefree and flirtatious. She’d dated powerful men and kept college students, yet Jiang Yunkai, twelve years younger than her, fooled her completely.

At sixteen, he earned dual degrees in finance and mathematics from an elite university. The untouchable young heir of the Jiang family in Jing City came to play with her feelings.

Long Yue cut him off completely.

Outside her tightly shut door, Jiang Yunkai waited through one full moon after another.
