How the Pitiful Adopted Son Climbed to the Top

Qing Yao's parents died when he was young, and he was adopted by the wealthy Lu family. The young master of the Lu family was talented and promising, a man of impeccable character and grace. The head of the Lu family, Lu Jingzhi, was even more strikingly handsome and elegant. He was the highest-ranking Alpha. But Qing Yao, the adopted son, was dull and boring. He always kept his head down, like a little servant living under someone else's roof, and seemed utterly out of place in the Lu family. Until one day, Qing Yao differentiated as an Omega. The young master of the Lu family began looking at him differently. He pushed open the bedroom door, brushed Qing Yao's bangs aside, and gazed at him with growing obsession. "How did I never notice before? You look so much like him." Qing Yao's face bore a strong resemblance to the young master's unattainable first love, the one he had always held in his heart. And so, Qing Yao was taken to the young master's bed. He went from an overlooked adopted son of the Lu family to the young master's kept substitute. When the head of the Lu family, Lu Jingzhi, learned of this, he summoned Qing Yao and asked, "Are you truly in love with each other? Think carefully before you answer." For the first time, Qing Yao dared to meet Lu Jingzhi's eyes. At last, he nodded. Only this way could he remain in the Lu family. Late at night, the young master came home reeking of alcohol, calling out his first love's name as he grabbed Qing Yao and started fooling around. But just one wall away, his father, Lu Jingzhi, was staying in the guest room of the apartment. Eyes red, Qing Yao pleaded, "Please don't. The master is still in the guest room. He'll hear us." Hearing that, the young master deliberately became even rougher. Poor Qing Yao bit down on the bedsheets, afraid to make a sound. When they finally knotted, he couldn't hold back his tears. After the marking was over, Qing Yao heard the front door close. Lu Jingzhi had left. Qing Yao knew that Lu Jingzhi had heard those wanton sounds. So when he next saw his adoptive father, Qing Yao didn't even dare lift his head. His face burned with embarrassment. Yet perhaps it was his imagination, but Lu Jingzhi seemed to care about him more. He even began to disapprove of his biological son spending his days partying and never coming home. "If you've chosen to be with Qing Yao, then settle down." But the young master didn't take his words to heart at all. On their anniversary, Qing Yao prepared a whole table of dishes. The young master, however, completely forgot about Qing Yao and eagerly went to pick up his first love, who had returned from abroad. He even forgot that Qing Yao was nearing his heat and couldn't get by without an Alpha's pheromones. When Qing Yao went into heat, he burned with fever and dizziness and wanted to call an ambulance. But in his delirium, he accidentally called his adoptive father, Lu Jingzhi. Qing Yao's voice was full of hurt. "Dad..." Lu Jingzhi actually came to the apartment just because of Qing Yao's phone call. That night, Qing Yao felt as if he were trapped in a scorching cage. He cried until his throat went hoarse, but still couldn't escape. For the first time, he learned what it felt like to have a high pheromone compatibility. When he woke, the first thing Qing Yao saw was Lu Jingzhi sitting beside the bed. The powerful muscles of Lu Jingzhi's back were covered in streaks of red scratches. "You're awake?" Qing Yao was terrified, afraid he would be thrown out of the house. But Lu Jingzhi studied him with calm, deep eyes and said, "I failed to raise my son properly. He turned out to be nothing but trouble. He's young and reckless, and he can't take good care of you." "From now on, stay by my side." The young master of the Lu family felt that his first love was becoming less and less like the person he remembered. Whenever he was with his first love, he couldn't help searching for traces of Qing Yao. Only after their relationship ended in a bitter argument did the young master remember how good Qing Yao had been to him. But Qing Yao had disappeared. The young master went half-mad searching for him. He even knelt before his parents and begged them to use their connections to help find Qing Yao. Lu Jingzhi refused. "You're an adult now. It's time you learned to bear the consequences of your own decisions." Later, the young master heard that his father had found a new lover. He sneaked over to take a look, only to see his father carrying someone out of a car. The person in his arms looked radiant and beautiful, as if a pearl had been washed clean of dust. A small face peeked out from a scarf, smiling eyes visible. It was Qing Yao, who had been missing for so long. Qing Yao had a secret. The truth was, he had agreed to be the substitute for the young master's first love purely because the young master looked like his father, Lu Jingzhi. #Scandalous father-and-son romance# A new love interest novel, with adoptive father Lu Jingzhi as the true love interest The love interest is a virgin (Yes, the love interest is a virgin.
