You Must Be Just as Fascinated by Me

Ning Junjin was the youngest son of the Ning family. He should have been showered with his family's love, but he was unlucky enough not to receive even a single day of affection.

After his birth mother passed away, the Ning family treated him coldly. When he was injured and lost his memory, his father and stepmother sent him abroad and left him completely to his own devices.

After being exiled overseas for several years, Ning Junjin finally returned to China just as the Ning family was making a huge spectacle of its plans for an alliance by marriage with the Shen family.

Ning Junjin's friend was astonished. "You're back in China, so the Ning family really is marrying into the Shen family? That means the Ning family is going to make it big." The friend immediately got curious. "So is your older sister marrying Shen Bozhou?"

Ning Junjin picked up his glass, unconcerned. "How would I know anything about the Ning family?"

"Fair enough." Seeing Ning Junjin was in low spirits, his friend joked, "Could they be sending your older brother over instead?" But even if the Ning family wanted to give him away for nothing, the Shen family might not agree.

How could Shen Bozhou possibly accept a man?

Looking at Shen Bozhou in the photo, Ning Junjin felt his heart tighten for no apparent reason, especially at the sight of those beautiful eyes. Yet their depths were filled with indifference. He wondered who could stir a ripple in them.

He gently stroked the person in the photograph. His fingertips seemed poised to slip through Shen Bozhou's tightly fastened collar and uncover what lay beneath. A ripple passed through Ning Junjin's gaze, but his tone was teasing.

"What if it's me?"

Shen Bozhou was the CEO of Hongjing Enterprises and the most sought-after man in Jingjiang City.

There was no mystery why: Shen Bozhou was rich, handsome, and from a good family. He could make waves in the business world. Everyone in Jingjiang City was practically fighting over such a prime catch.

People tried every trick, openly and behind the scenes, but none of them succeeded.

"Who knows what that cold, passionless-looking Shen Bozhou is into?"

After another gala, Shen Bozhou returned to his hotel room. But as soon as he opened the door, a feverish body pressed tightly against him from behind. Then a clear voice rang out, warm breath brushing his cheek, yet Shen Bozhou's expression remained unchanged.

He was used to this by now.

Shen Bozhou yanked away the arm wrapped around him. Only after straightening his rumpled clothes did he glance at the other man, and a flicker of something unreadable suddenly passed through his eyes.

A moment later, he was back to his usual indifference and headed straight for the door.

Ning Junjin wasn't discouraged by the rejection. But when Shen Bozhou's deep gaze settled on him, an inexplicable tingling sensation rose through him. Watching the man's tall figure, he asked, "Mr. Shen, really don't want to give me a try?"

Shen Bozhou opened the door. The light from outside fell on Ning Junjin, outlining his figure. Shen Bozhou looked away and said coolly, "Get out."

Ning Junjin obediently stepped outside. Shen Bozhou was about to close the door on him when the man suddenly threw off his bathrobe.

Ning Junjin stood completely naked in the hotel corridor, staring at Shen Bozhou with a gaze that was both candid and reckless.

At last, a crack appeared in Shen Bozhou's usually expressionless face. The calm in his eyes seemed to be breaking apart, little by little.

The two of them stood in a silent standoff in the quiet hallway.

"Ding!" The sound of an elevator arriving nearby finally broke the tension. A jumble of voices came from around the corner.

Hearing the voices coming closer, Ning Junjin still didn't move an inch. Only the fervor in his eyes began to spread. He kept looking at Shen Bozhou, waiting for him to make a choice.

The conversation drew nearer. In just one more step, they would see everything on display.

"You lunatic!" A voice finally came from inside the room, gritting out the words.

Before Ning Junjin could manage a sly smile, a large hand, its veins bulging, clamped down hard on his slender, pale wrist and yanked him into the room.

Muffled voices came through the closed door. "Mm... Be gentle..."

The little fox finally got his way! ^_^
