Didn't You Go Bankrupt?

Wen Xu and Shen Yu grew up together. Shen Yu had a beautiful face, and when the Shen family went bankrupt, he was sold at an underground auction in Southeast Asia. At the last possible moment, Wen Xu arrived and rescued him from the flames.

Wen Xu took Shen Yu home. "Don't worry. From now on, this is your home, and I'm your big brother. I'll look after you, no matter what happens."

Later, Shen Yu slipped into Wen Xu's room in the middle of the night and said softly, "My family went bankrupt. I have nothing to repay you with, big brother, except myself..."

Wen Xu: "N-no, your big brother is as straight as an iron rod!"

Shen Yu: "But I want to repay you..."

Clutching his blanket, Wen Xu came up with an idea in a panic. "Then... then why don't you be my assistant?"

Shen Yu: "...Okay."

Everyone at the company knew that Wen Xu had acquired a little shadow. Shen Yu worked as his secretary, bringing him tea and water during lunch breaks. He seemed so domesticated, yet sometimes the things he did were downright indescribable.

Shen Yu: "This bottle is so hard to open, big brother. Could you hold my hand and help me put some force behind it?"

Shen Yu: "I scraped my knee, and it hurts so much. Could you carry me, big brother?"

Shen Yu: "I accidentally dropped the love letters they sent you into the fountain. Could I write you a hundred letters to make it up to you, big brother?"

Wen Xu's response: "Xiao Yu used to be a little young master, spoiled rotten. There's no need to make a fuss about stuff like this."

That is, until one day he saw the spoiled Shen Yu knock eight burly men flat in one go, a cruel, bloodthirsty smile at the corner of his mouth.

Then, another day, the Wen family teetered on the brink of bankruptcy.

After settling the accounts, Wen Xu handed Shen Yu a severance payment, his face ashen. "I'm sorry, Xiao Yu. Maybe you should go somewhere else."

Shen Yu pushed the envelope back. A few days later, he presented Wen Xu with a trust agreement and two black cards.

Wen Xu: ???

Shen Yu named a sum of money, then slowly pressed closer under Wen Xu's stunned gaze. His usually innocent face turned domineering. "All of this will be yours if you get engaged to me, big brother."

Wen Xu: ??? Didn't your family go bankrupt?

The cover makes it look like a tragic story, but this is a sweet romance. I might write an alternate-universe tragic storyline in a bonus chapter later, if anyone would like to read it~

A peek at my upcoming stories -0-

1. "Betrayed by My White Moonlight, I Got Together with His Son"

When Yu Yan was ten, a hugely influential big shot took an interest in him and supported him until he was accepted into a world-top university through a special admission program.

From student to leading professor, Yu Yan always harbored feelings for the man who had helped him. Until one day, that man stole his research.

His rose-colored glasses shattered. For several days in a row, Yu Yan locked himself in the lab and refused to come out.

Later, after giving an academic lecture, he heard a clear voice behind him. "Hello, Professor Yu. I'm Qi Shuochen. I loved your talk. Could I add you on WeChat?"

Yu Yan looked at the flashy young man before him. He didn't seem like he was there to study seriously, and besides...

The young man looked strangely familiar.

Not wanting to stifle the kid's thirst for knowledge, Yu Yan eventually showed him his QR code.

There's a seven-year age gap. At first, Yu Yan thought Qi Shuochen was just a naive, sweet college student. Little by little, he realized the kid had plenty of tricks up his sleeve, and eventually their relationship changed.

"Qi Shuochen."

"Hmm?"

Yu Yan gently tugged the collar of the man in front of him, pulling him down until they were close. "Spend Saturday night with me."

The older man became a thing of the past. Yu Yan gradually accepted Qi Shuochen, only to discover that the kid was far more complicated than he seemed.

He was a scheming, ruthless scoundrel pretending to be an innocent, naive sweetheart. His family seemed to wield even greater power, but he concealed it so well that no one could find a trace.

Yu Yan kept his thoughts to himself, wanting to see what this young master was up to. Later, after achieving success and acclaim, Yu Yan left the packed hall behind and hid in a corner, kissing Qi Shuochen passionately.

Yu Yan: "Where did you go just now?"

Qi Shuochen: "Did you miss me?"

"I told you to wait until it was time to go onstage."

Qi Shuochen chuckled softly, grinding his lips against Yu Yan's soft, warm ones. His breath came rough and hot. "I'd rather get on top of you than go onstage."

"Yanyan."

Yu Yan looked at the man who had once sent him straight to hell, unsure how to react.

The man said, "Is this how you're getting back at me?"

Yu Yan: ?

The man glanced at Qi Shuochen, pressed tightly against Yu Yan, and looked as though he wanted to tear the kid limb from limb. "He's my son."

Yu Yan: ????

[Mini-scene 2]

Qi Shuochen: "Did you two sleep together?"

"We... ah, "

"Then I want to know." Qi Shuochen bound Yu Yan's hands and pinned him against the enormous floor-to-ceiling window. His hoarse voice was thick with jealousy. "Who makes you feel better, me or my dad? Hmm?"

A younger, unhinged top who pretends to be obedient at first and later reveals his true, roguish nature X a beautiful, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, flirtatious bottom, especially in the middle and later parts

Warning: The bottom never slept with the top's father, but there was some nonessential physical contact over their clothes.

2. "He's Having Someone Else's Baby [ABO]"

Rong Ye is a top-tier Alpha. During humanity's fourth technological revolution, the major corporations are fighting tooth and nail to recruit top talent, especially Rong Ye's archenemy, Xiao Jin, a fellow top-tier Alpha and his junior from university.

As CEO of a global TOP tech company, Rong Ye approaches Xiao Jin one day. "Name your price. I'll buy you and your company."

Xiao Jin smiles. "Come on, senior. We have a relationship like ours, and you want to talk about money? That hurts."

He says a number as he speaks.

Rong Ye sneers, thinking the kid is just as two-faced as he was back in college. But he really does have talent, and for the company's sake, Rong Ye swallows his pride.

One night, Rong Ye arrives at Xiao Jin's home with a contract he's drawn up.

Xiao Jin has just finished showering. Water drips from his hair, and his robe hangs open, revealing firm, defined pectoral muscles that trail down to his abdomen.

Rong Ye can't be bothered to look at him showing off. He's about to slap the contract against his chest and tell him to sign when Xiao Jin suddenly grabs his wrist and pins him against the wall.

Furious and shocked, Rong Ye hears Xiao Jin speak in a low, hoarse voice by his ear. "Who said that number was money?"

Rong Ye is devoted to his career. To bring Xiao Jin under his wing, he agrees to Xiao Jin's demand of once every two weeks.

They're both Alphas anyway, and the kid's decent-looking. Taking turns being the top is no loss.

Later, Rong Ye has been the bottom ten times.

Later still, Rong Ye goes from a top-tier Alpha to a top-tier Omega.

And later than that, after an accident, the board fires Rong Ye.

At the lowest point in his life, Rong Ye feels like he's come to terms with it all.

He leaves the big city where he'd lived for twenty-six years, travels the world with the little money he has left, and finally settles down in a seaside town, growing flowers and fishing.

He thinks he'll live out the rest of his life there, until one day he realizes something is wrong with his belly...

Xiao Jin has had a crush on Rong Ye for years. But he's got a personality flaw and was born with a sharp tongue, and one day his mouth finally drives Rong Ye away.

Xiao Jin searches desperately all over the world for him. After seven whole years, he finally finds Rong Ye in a seaside town.

As a top-tier Omega, Rong Ye is surrounded by hungry Alphas. Worse, Rong Ye has a six-year-old child with him. The child calls Rong Ye "Dad" and glares at Xiao Jin.

That night, Xiao Jin can't hold back. He pins Rong Ye against the wall and grinds at his gland. Rong Ye's face turns flushed, and Xiao Jin laughs with anger in his voice. "What, did that man not satisfy you?"

Rong Ye has three secrets hidden in his heart:

1. Because of environmental factors and his unusual constitution, he was pregnant for twenty months.

2. The child is a top-tier Alpha, born with powerful pheromones, but suffers from a congenital condition: he hates his own Alpha father. Any Alpha who's gotten close to Rong Ye and might be his biological father has been crushed by the child's pheromones.

3. He seems to care about Xiao Jin even more than he thought.
