After the Beautiful Introvert Was Taken in Hand by Daddy

Xu Jibai transmigrates into the lackey of a rich young master. Stranded in a foreign country, he can't speak the language and struggles to get by. He's also forced to humiliate himself in public for the young master's amusement. Social anxiety: suffocating.jpg Just when he's at his most desperate and helpless, he meets his savior. De Vries, an aristocratic count, calm and restrained. The older man is a superior whose build is vastly different from his own. Whenever those gray-blue eyes rest on him, Xu Jibai instinctively tenses up and wants to run. As they spend more time together, he discovers that the man is actually gentle and considerate. He always has his back and solves his problems for him. When social anxiety takes hold, he gently soothes him and pats his head in encouragement. For the first time in his life, Xu Jibai is given understanding, respect, and support without conditions. Who could possibly resist that! He's practically the ultimate husband-coded Daddy! But Xu Jibai also realizes that De Vries is so perfect he seems unreal, as if he has no desire at all and belongs to a world far removed from his own. He rationally retreats to where they started and deliberately keeps his distance. What Xu Jibai doesn't know is that De Vries visits a secret room every night. It's filled with the personal belongings Xu Jibai once lost. The gentleman who is always impeccably dressed, elegant, and refined looks like a pervert now. He goes to the clothes Xu Jibai has just taken off, buries his face in them, and takes a deep sniff, looking satisfied and intoxicated. De Vries has a pathological need for control. He's restrained himself for years, but sometimes he loses control. He wants control over every part of Xu Jibai's life, from head to toe, inside and out. Xu Jibai's lips are rosy. He presses them together shyly and says De Vries is so attentive and considerate, such a good person. He keeps Xu Jibai locked by his side, not letting him come into contact with the outside world. Xu Jibai's eyes shine as he says, moved to the point of tears, that this is his dream too. He truly doesn't want to see anyone. De Vries understands him so well. De Vries: "..." But he still underestimated the extent of Xu Jibai's social anxiety. Xu Jibai actually has a day when he pounds on the door. You won't even see me? Four years later, Xu Jibai has gone from a down-and-out nobody to a genius painter. His phone is ringing off the hook, but he never shows himself. People who envy him spread rumors that he's been locked in a dark room, bound hand and foot and denied his freedom. In reality, Xu Jibai is vacationing in a castle, resting his head on a man's lap, warming his hands against his abs and opening his mouth to be fed. Lying flat is so great. He absolutely will not leave the house! But... As night deepens, De Vries controls every one of his reactions, making a complete mess of him as he gently coaxes him. "Sirena, good boy." "We agreed we'd do this together." Wah, you bastard. I said I wouldn't go out, not that I wouldn't get out of bed! Avoidant social anxiety x guiding control freak Coming soon: Pregnant with the Real Young Master's Baby in the Ninth Year After My Death After eighteen carefree years, Ruan Tang discovers he's the fake young master who took the real one's place. Though he's allowed to stay, he no longer dares to act spoiled or demand attention from his parents and older brother. Every move he makes is obedient and ingratiating. He feels deeply guilty toward the real young master, Duan Qingye, and tries to make it up to him with all his heart. But he ruins everything. Like the vicious cannon fodder in a novel, he hands Duan Qingye a spiked drink and makes a terrible mistake. After one reckless night, he finds himself on an unfamiliar street. This is the ninth year after his death. For someone hated by everyone, dying is the best ending. Ruan Tang doesn't contact anyone and plans to start over. Penniless and bullied at work, he's protected by a pair of arms. The man is dressed in black, like he's wearing mourning clothes. Afraid of startling him, he speaks in a barely audible voice. "Ruan Tang?" Ruan Tang never expected to run into Duan Qingye. Thinking of everything that happened, he assumes Duan Qingye must hate him to the core. But Duan Qingye puts the past behind them and takes him home. After nine years apart, the once awkward and taciturn boy has become an elegant, refined, mature, and steady man. Duan Qingye cares for him with the indulgence of an older guardian, arranging everything for him and kneeling to put on his shoes, making him feel like the pampered young master he used to be. The fake and real young masters finally get along peacefully and amicably, until... Ruan Tang discovers the results of a medical checkup from some time ago. The mistake from that night is still going on. He's pregnant, and Duan Qingye has known all along. He instinctively tries to run, but Duan Qingye catches him. Bathed in the night, the man looks like a demon from hell. His voice is tender, yet tinged with madness. "Tangtang, are you going to leave me behind again?" After the moon falls, the Ruan household is steeped in silence, everyone swallowed by regret. As the tenth anniversary of his death approaches, the Ruan family discovers that their lost treasure is now heavily pregnant, nestled against a man. Their biological son is pleading with Ruan Tang for a smile. Noticing the family's gaze, Duan Qingye glares at them like a wolf guarding its food, refusing to let them come even one step closer. One year later, at the Ruan Group headquarters. A beautiful young man arrives to see President Duan, carrying a child. People around them whisper, thinking he's pulling a scheme to demand recognition and a place in the family. The usually cold President Duan hurries over, his eyes full of love and his manner incredibly gentle. Ruan Tang's parents and older brother even elbow Duan Qingye aside to fuss over him, as if the young man were their own precious child. Everyone: ??? Little extra The baby is one year old, and Ruan Tang still has the habits he picked up during pregnancy. He lies comfortably in Duan Qingye's arms. The man bites the tip of his ear. "Nine years is 3,288 days in all. Seven times a night on average. You'd better make it up to me, honey." Ruan Tang: What seven times? In the hazy night, Ruan Tang's gaze loses focus. He rubs his slightly rounded belly, dazedly thinking he might be pregnant again. From then on, Ruan Tang spends every day and night struggling to pay off his debt. Coming soon: The CEO Raises Their Child Alone for Ten Years The wealthy Ji and Shen families are bitter enemies, yet news comes out that they're arranging a marriage between their children. One is a hedonist, the other rebellious and unruly. They clash constantly, yet are remarkably compatible in bed. Wanting to get along even better, they both throw themselves into their efforts, until Ji Zhufeng starts vomiting frequently and discovers he's pregnant. Ji Zhufeng: I'm a man! I can give birth too?! The baby's arrival softens their relationship, and they only quarrel now and then. On an utterly ordinary day, the married couple fall out over a misunderstanding, and Ji Zhufeng storms out in a fit of anger. He stays away for ten years. Standing on an unfamiliar street, he hears that Shen Jinnian, now thirty-five, is going to marry someone else. Realizing he has transmigrated ten years into the future, Ji Zhufeng resolves to make a fortune and win custody of their baby. But he can't adapt to the changing times and runs into trouble at every turn. He can only swallow his grievances and call Shen Jinnian. "I'll agree to the divorce, but you have to give me half the money." There's silence on the other end for half a minute, then a low, soft voice says, "We're not getting divorced. Everything is yours." Ji Zhufeng finally returns to the home he remembers, eager to hug his well-behaved baby. The little ball of glutinous rice from his memories is nowhere to be found. A rebellious, melodramatic teenager looks down his nose at him. "What an arrogant stand-in, daring to come into this house." "..." Ji Zhufeng smiles. Ji Zhufeng decides to teach him about the power of their bloodline. The grown-up son is chased around the yard like a little chick. Wailing, he spots his savior and runs toward him, eyes shining. "Dad! This stand-in's gone crazy! Get rid of him!" Shen Jinnian grabs him by the shoulder and makes him stand at attention. "Let me introduce you. This is your biological dad." ???! As a rebellious, melodramatic middle-aged man, Ji Zhufeng quickly gets his grown-up son under control. The son waits on him hand and foot, bringing tea and water, doing whatever he's told, and staying completely devoted. Ji Zhufeng is pleased with all of this, except... After ten years apart, the once rebellious and unruly Shen Jinnian has turned into a stern Daddy, a cool and detached man of faith. Ji Zhufeng: Tsk, what a poser. No matter how much trouble he makes or how deliberately difficult he is, Shen Jinnian takes care of him gently and considerately, indulging him without ever arguing or fighting. It feels like dealing with a stranger, and Ji Zhufeng finds it boring. He wants to run away from home again. But this time he doesn't get away. The man stares at him darkly, keys dangling from his fingers, tempting him to come and get them if he wants them. Ji Zhufeng's heart races, and a shiver runs down his tailbone like an electric current. Great! He's finally been waiting for this! For the next three days, whoever wants to go out is a puppy. In the hazy night, Ji Zhufeng's eyes are misty with tears. Unable to wrap his arms around the man's legs, he nuzzles his neck to appease him. "Woof." I'm a puppy. Let me out. The man who held it in for ten years is terrifying. The rumors that the love interest was going to marry someone else are false. His love never wavers.
