His Little Mute

A sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, fake-temper top x a mute, pitiful, adorable bottom

The day Lin Cheng was sold to Zhu Shangye by his father, he cheerfully waved goodbye to Dad.

When he was fourteen, he nearly drowned and developed a high fever. His family had no money to treat him, and he was left with lasting damage. He couldn't speak, and his intelligence remained at the level of a seven-year-old.

Looking at Lin Cheng, who was signing with a foolish look on his face, Zhu Shangye's expression darkened.

He flew into a rage. "Who brought him here? I was told he was healthy!"

Not a single servant or bodyguard dared to speak.

Only the little mute cheerfully signed to him. When he realized Zhu Shangye couldn't understand, he started crying in distress.

Zhu Shangye had been ready to send him away, but Lin Cheng's tears irritated him, and Lin Cheng clung to his leg, desperately shaking his head.

Even with the mind of a seven-year-old, Lin Cheng was still clever. He knew that if he was sent away, he would have nowhere to go. He knew his father had sold him.

In the end, Zhu Shangye's heart softened. He kept Lin Cheng by his side and found him the best medical care.

The day Lin Cheng recovered and was able to speak, he tugged at Zhu Shangye and softly called him "hubby." Zhu Shangye's heart melted.

The butler and servants: Who was it that wanted to send him away in the first place?

Bonus scene:

Lin Cheng saw a very pretty cake and wanted Zhu Shangye to buy it for him.

When Zhu Shangye got home that night, Lin Cheng obediently sat in front of him and signed.

Beset by work troubles, Zhu Shangye told him to go play somewhere else. "I can't understand you. I'm busy right now."

Lin Cheng tilted his head, not understanding why Zhu Shangye couldn't understand him, and kept signing.

Zhu Shangye's voice turned a little harsher. "I said I can't understand you. I'm busy. Can't you understand that?"

Lin Cheng cried after being scolded.

It took Zhu Shangye all night to comfort him.

The next morning, Lin Cheng found the beautiful cake from the day before in the fridge. He was so happy that he hugged Zhu Shangye and kissed him several times.
