Disrespect

As the sole heir of the Duan family, Duan Zhao lost his father young and took over the company at eighteen. He gritted his teeth and fought his way through every obstacle, becoming a powerful tycoon by the age of thirty. Yet at thirty-six, disaster struck without warning, and he nearly ended up paralyzed from the waist down. After finally being brought back from the brink, he was secretly preparing to dig a pit and bury someone when his usually well-mannered sworn younger brother suddenly knelt and confessed his love. Duan Zhao's face turned cold. "How dare you pursue me, Duan He? Who gave you the nerve to disrespect your adoptive elder brother?" "You did." Duan He smiled and kissed the back of his hand, speaking tenderly. "You love me, don't you?" Yes, he loved him. P.S. 1. A sharp-tongued but secretly soft-hearted domineering CEO, older and the bottom, paired with a devoted, obsessive, scheming, flirtatious sworn younger brother, the top. Mutual secret crushes. 2. A spin-off of The Regent Prince, but the story stands on its own and can be read independently. Its original title was The Protagonist's Destiny Wasn't Supposed to Be Like This. 3.
