The Rich Older Man Is Flirty and Affectionate Again [Reborn]

After suffering one tragedy after another, Jian Li had barely begun to recover when he discovered he had transmigrated into the body of a boy who was also named Jian Li.

Living under someone else's roof, he knew how to read the room. He was obedient and never caused trouble.

Yet somehow, he still earned Qi Xiaoyan's warning.

The man looked at the suddenly well-behaved boy. "Jian Li, don't try any tricks with me."

Jian Li replied softly, "I'm not."

The whole family was astonished. The young master had changed. Every day, he came home and shut himself in his room, grinding through practice exams and studying hard.

Jian Li was working on problems when a text came in.

Qi Xiaoyan: We're going out to eat later.

With a pen between his teeth, he pondered the question for ages before replying: I'm not going. I'm studying.

Qi Xiaoyan suddenly turned serious: I'll check when I get back.

That night.

The man pointed at the notebook, his voice low. "How did you get every one wrong? You really were studying, huh?"

Jian Li was penned in between the desk and the man's arm.

His face flushed red. He asked quietly, "Which question?"

Qi Xiaoyan pinched the boy's burning-red earlobe. "I say a few words to you and you get mad?"

"I'm not."

The man simply lifted the boy onto his lap. "What, you dare get angry but don't dare say so?"

"No..." The boy's voice grew even softer, his eyes shining as though filled with tiny stars.

Qi Xiaoyan kissed the little stars.

"Be good, okay?"

Jian Li pouted unhappily. If he acted any sweeter, he'd turn into a baby...

Lu Wei inherited the entire Lu family fortune at birth. He was beautiful and refined, and an exceptionally gifted painter. In just a few years, he had won countless awards at home and abroad. For nineteen years, his adoptive parents had cherished him like the apple of their eye. Outsiders always said that he was treated as well as a biological child. But that same year, Lu Wei's health suddenly deteriorated, and the fortune in his name vanished without a trace.

On his birthday, he stood on a cliff amid howling northerly winds and watched a video of his adoptive parents and their son taking over his villa and seizing his assets.

Only then did he realize how foolish he had been all those years. Their supposed parental love and happy family life had all been part of a long-planned scheme to rob and murder him.

Reborn, Lu Wei's little sun went out, replaced by an unmelting coldness in his eyes. But he was still under nineteen and couldn't inherit his fortune. With neither money nor power, he could only rely on someone else. That was how he found Xu Weiyang, the richest man in Bincheng, surrounded by a hundred beauties.

Xu Weiyang had no family, no ties, and no weakness. His only passion was money. So Lu Wei brought every asset in his name as a bargaining chip and went to the man. Marry me and help me get revenge. The entire Lu family will be yours.

Xu Weiyang raised an eyebrow at the beautiful boy who had come to offer himself, his eyes growing darker.

"Did you bring your ID?"

*

His adoptive parents had deliberately spoiled Lu Wei into arrogance, and he had always thought he was the center of the world. But later, when he was confined to a sanatorium, not a single person came to visit him. Only Xu Weiyang, passing by and seeing how lonely and pitiful he looked, brought him a piece of candy every day.

This time, Lu Wei wouldn't give certain people the chance to lock him away in that place. But those few pieces of candy had already taken deep root in his heart.

They say Xu Weiyang likes pretty, sweet, well-behaved boys. Lu Wei touched his face in the mirror. Putting on an act was easy. This man would be his sooner or later.

Everyone said the Lu family had a young master who was breathtakingly handsome and a brilliant painter. The only problem was his domineering personality and terrible temper. But in Xu Weiyang's memory, the boy was beautiful and well-behaved, always at the top of his class. He could host guests, cook, and even tell fortunes.

One day, as Xu Weiyang was leaving for a banquet, Lu Wei glanced at his Bugatti.

"The color's too bright. It's not a good day to drive it. Change cars."

The secretary promptly brought around a car in a more subdued color.

Xu Weiyang hadn't thought much of it. But when he returned, he heard that the Bugatti, which had just been sent in for maintenance, had been in an accident on the road. The driver was unconscious. Xu Weiyang's brow twitched. He told the driver to turn around and pick Lu Wei up from school. Instead, he saw Lu Wei kick the boy opposite him several meters away.

The secretary wiped his brow with a sigh. "M-Mr. Xu, it's hot out, so people get irritable. Better that than letting someone bully him." But the man's gaze suddenly turned meaningful. "Mm. Go tell him to come here."

A moment later, Lu Wei, realizing his true nature had been exposed, stood before the man with an uneasy expression, twisting two fingers together as he tried one last desperate defense.

"They bullied me so badly, you know that. I only kicked him once."

Xu Weiyang smiled with approval. "Mm. Weiwei can do no wrong."

Feeling guilty, Lu Wei hurried into the car and obediently sat beside the man. "Are you tired today? You can lean on my shoulder."

Ongoing novel: Matched 100% with the Empire's Top-Tier Star After My Engagement Was Canceled

Yi Chen was a beautiful omega, born into privilege and blessed with an enchanting aura. His childhood friend had doted on him since they were little.

Then tragedy struck. Both his parents died after falling from a building, and Yi Chen went from a beloved heir to an orphan.

The childhood friend who had always said he would marry him also announced that he had met a sweet omega with a higher compatibility rating. Their engagement was canceled immediately.

Desperate, Yi Chen downed two large glasses of vodka at a bar that night to celebrate his newfound freedom.

To hell with that scumbag alpha. To hell with pheromones. I'm going to be a proud bachelor for life.

But the moment the words left his mouth, Yi Chen suddenly started burning all over. The gland at the back of his neck throbbed wildly, and even his breath seemed to turn pink.

Through bleary eyes, he looked ahead and saw a group of little omegas crowded nearby, swaying and sending mating signals toward a tall, handsome man.

Meanwhile, he was burning with desire, his blood rushing backward and his legs going weak. He couldn't even stand up.

After experiencing the world's kindness and cruelty, Yi Chen had adopted one principle in life:

Enjoy yourself while you can. If you can't beat them, join them!

So, as the pheromones grew stronger, he lunged forward and threw himself into the man's arms.

"Handsome, your pheromones smell so good~"

But... the consequences of enjoying himself in the moment seemed rather serious!

He had picked a fight with one of the Empire's toughest men, and got a compatibility report shoved at him.

Name: Yi Chen. Match: Shi Qiuhan.

Compatibility: 100%

After that, Yi Chen clutched his fragile heart and was forced to get to work.

First, a meeting with the Empire's Health Ministry: "A match this high is extremely rare. We hope you'll provide samples to the Empire's Pheromone Research Institute to help create more possibilities for successful matches."

Second, an appointment with the head of the Civil Affairs Ministry: "The Empire's marriage rate keeps falling. We hope you'll endorse the ministry and help inspire a new wave of marriages among the public."

Third, an invitation to a dinner hosted by the Empire's Minister of Economic Affairs: The minister tossed a blank check onto the table and hoped Yi Chen would help his son through every rut.

Yi Chen, expressionless: "At this rate, maybe I'll get to meet the head of the Empire by the end of the month?"

He never expected his words to come true. One day, not only would he meet him, he would call him Dad with his own mouth.

Shi Qiuhan was a household-name top-tier star and award-winning actor in the Empire. His face had always been a source of pride for his fans.

In five years since his debut, he had won four Best Actor awards and amassed a fortune that could rival a country.

The only thing people lamented was his bizarre pheromones. The matching system had never found a little omega with a compatibility rating above twenty percent for him, making him the Empire's famous unattainable beauty.

But he himself had never been in a hurry. Rumor had it that he had a first love he had searched for in vain.

The internet took these rumors with a grain of salt. No one believed them.

Until one day, a reporter caught actor Shi Qiuhan losing control at a bar, with a soft, pretty Omega in his arms.

Not long afterward, Shi Qiuhan made an unprecedented social media post.

#I've finally found you, my boy#

Attached: A pretty little omega asleep with his head resting on Shi Qiuhan's chest.

Bonus scene:

The next morning, Yi Chen woke up to find the big shot covered in scratch marks.

Yi Chen: "It's my fault. I'm guilty. I'll cut off this useless gland to apologize!" Then he turned and ran.

Later, when his heat came again:

Yi Chen: "Mmm, that smells so good!" Then he lunged at the man and bit him!

Meanwhile, his former childhood friend stared at posters of the married couple plastered across the Empire, his eyes bloodshot.

No one knew that this beautiful, sweet omega had once belonged to him.

Coming soon: Try Running Away Again, I Dare You!

Shu Rong was strikingly beautiful, with sparkling, seductive eyes. People had often mistaken him for a girl ever since he was little.

One day, he filled in for his identical twin sister at a nightclub. The moment he walked in wearing elaborate makeup and tiny shorts, he caught the attention of plenty of prowling men.

He spent the whole night moving through the club, his long legs weaving through the crowd, and plenty of men took liberties with him. He didn't particularly mind. In fact, he rather enjoyed watching them become infatuated with him.

But Shu Rong didn't yet know that he'd provoked the one person in all of Kyoto he should never have crossed.

The man stayed for the entire night. Shu Rong thought that was the end of it.

He never expected the man to become fixated on him, showing up day after day, night after night.

To avoid being found out, his sister was forced to lounge around at home.

And he had to keep dutifully playing the nightclub's little princess.

A month later, Shu Rong was fed up and decided to make a run for it by pretending he needed to use the bathroom.

He might as well quit this troublesome job for his sister while he was at it.

But just after he'd finished, a familiar shadow fell beside him.

Shu Rong stiffened and glanced at the grim reaper's dark face, then lowered his eyes to the little Shu Rong he hadn't yet managed to tuck away.

His heart instantly sank.

The man ground out a summons that sounded as though it came straight from hell.

"Miss Shu, it seems you've got an extra set of parts down there?!"

-

Cheng Zhiyan was the only son in five generations of the Cheng family of Kyoto and the heir to the Cheng Group.

He had been raised in luxury and was exceptionally refined, but he never expected to be fooled by a little liar.

He thought the matter was behind him.

But that exquisite face and the extra parts hidden beneath it kept him awake at night. Whenever he did fall asleep, he had nightmares.

With a dark expression, Cheng Zhiyan ordered his men to find the person, even if they had to turn the whole place upside down.

But before they found him, a fiance suddenly appeared. Cheng Zhiyan had to deal with the problem in front of him first. When they met, however, the little fiance looked oddly familiar and ran the moment he saw Cheng Zhiyan.

Cheng Zhiyan's eyes narrowed. He grabbed him before he could get away.

"Try running away again. I dare you."

Shu Rong gave an awkward smile and sat back down.

"Hello, fiance..."
