The Poor Little One Is Carrying His Online Lover's Baby

[18-year age gap / 177-to-187 cm height difference] [Both are sexually inexperienced]

[Sweet, hearing-impaired boy x controlling, guiding lover]

Gu Mian is deaf in his right ear and naturally timid. Yet at sixteen, he started an online relationship, only to break up on his eighteenth birthday. “Gege, I have a terminal illness. We should break up.”

Then he blocked and deleted the other person.

He knew it was wrong, but he listened to the orphanage director.

When he woke up, he discovered he had traveled ten years into the future.

He called the director and learned that the orphanage had long since been emptied, and the director had been arrested.

With no hope left, he dialed the hazy number he remembered.

Beep, beep...

“Hello?”

A deep male voice answered.

He timidly said, “Hi, I'm Mian Duoduo. Could you lend me some money?”

Mian Duoduo was his screen name eight years ago.

Silence stretched on endlessly over the phone.

He bit his lip, anxious, and was just about to hang up when the man on the other end spoke in a voice hoarse to the extreme: “Address.”

Gu Mian was taken home by his former online boyfriend.

He cautiously surveyed the mansion before him, standing awkwardly at the entrance.

His shoes were filthy. It felt as though even one step would defile the place.

But the next moment, the man who had brought him here crouched in front of him, took hold of his ankle, removed his shoes, and put a pair of clean, fluffy slippers on his feet.

The man's hands were big and warm. When he held Gu Mian's ankle, it made him feel like prey caught by a hunter.

“I can write you an IOU.”

That was Gu Mian's original plan, but the other man said he could stay and work at the villa to pay off his debt.

With nowhere else to go, Gu Mian thought it over and agreed.

Everyone in Beicheng's upper circles knew one thing: never mention a certain name in front of Lin Ji. It was said to be the name of his beloved.

Ten years ago, Lin Ji, who had yet to become the head of the Lin family, suddenly went mad and used every resource at his disposal to search for someone.

He found them, but they were dead.

From then on, that name became taboo.

Lin Ji never imagined anyone would dare seek death in front of him. But as he listened to the familiar, timid voice on the phone, his long-dead heart came back to life.

Gu Mian worked diligently for the Lin family to pay off his debt.

Then, after an accident, he slept with Lin Ji and discovered a few weeks later that he was pregnant.

Afraid Mr. Lin would kick him out, he started avoiding him.

Until one night, when he got up to use the bathroom, he saw Mr. Lin holding the clothes he'd just changed out of, his face buried in them.

“Ah, I've been found out. The baby can start running now.”

But Gu Mian couldn't run away. He had no education or skills, and there was nowhere he could go apart from the Lin residence.

And lately, his breasts had started leaking milk.

Held in the man's arms, he opened his mouth and took the shirt between his lips.

Lin Ji watched the young man in the mirror, his long fingers kneading that spot. He whispered beside Gu Mian's right ear, “The baby's so slutty. Are you deliberately seducing your husband?”
