After I Refused to Be His Lover, the CEO Regretted It

Completed. Please leave a good review! Content warnings are below the blurb. [Surprise! The Contrast-Group Cannon Fodder Goes Viral After a Flash Marriage] is now available. Guan Qing is a poor student sponsored by Lu Wenye. At first, Lu Wenye only gives him money, and they correspond by letter. Later, by a twist of fate, he brings Guan Qing to live with him. Since the kid's already here, he might as well keep him. He never expects the boy to grow more and more beautiful, becoming so exceptional that he outshines even the children in Lu Wenye's own family. The day Guan Qing receives his university acceptance letter, he comes of age. He wants to leave the Lu family and repay Lu Wenye. Lu Wenye has had too much to drink and can't stand people going on and on. Looking at that pretty face, he says carelessly, "Then spend a hundred days with me." From then on, Guan Qing becomes his lover, attentive in and out of bed. The usually cool and aloof top student puts Lu Wenye first in everything. During that time, Lu Wenye seems to have settled down. Guan Qing frowns, and he gives up smoking and skips his drinking parties, settling into a quiet domestic life. Two months later, at a gathering, a friend asks him, "Is this for real?" The man's voice is low and indifferent. "We're just playing a game and getting what we need. I need a shield, and he needs money." The laughter in the private room is grating. Guan Qing can't remember how he turned and left. He only remembers sitting on a pedestrian overpass, then suddenly realizing the sky had already grown light. When it ends, Guan Qing says goodbye with dignity, deletes every way to contact him, and throws himself into his studies. His cool, self-contained appearance makes him seem as if he's closed his heart to love. Another hundred days later, Lu Wenye keeps checking his phone at a party. His friend teases him, "Is your kid still mad?" Second Master Lu's brow darkens, and his gaze turns sharp as a knife. "Say that again?" Later, Second Master Lu stops going out to parties and entertainment venues. Even when his stomach hurts, he won't see a doctor. He stubbornly keeps calling the boy. When the call finally connects, a cool, unfamiliar voice comes from the other end, accompanied by a sticky, flirtatious laugh. "Hello, may I ask who this is..." Content warning: Lu has had more experience and doesn't get emotionally involved. Once he starts seeing Guan, there is no one else (really, repeat that three times if you're angry!). He will pursue his lover to win him back. Upcoming: [Surprise! The Contrast-Group Cannon Fodder Goes Viral After a Flash Marriage] Pei Lingyu is beautiful and a talented actor, but after graduation, all he wants is to find a handsome man, get married, and build a home of his own. Unexpectedly, after a fall following his flash marriage, he wakes up to discover that he's a cannon-fodder contrast character in someone else's romance. In the book, he acts like he's lost his mind. He ignores the handsome, considerate Gu Qi and instead runs after Zhou Changyu, giving him everything his family owns and ruining his own future until the whole internet tears him apart! On the surface, Qiao Siming is all smiles toward "Pei Lingyu," but behind his back he's constantly targeting him. In the end, Qiao outmaneuvers him, and the black-hearted schemer makes him take the fall! Pei Lingyu immediately pulls himself together. Before heading off to film, Pei Lingyu cradles Gu Qi's face, unable to bear leaving him. Thinking about how they won't see each other for days, he sighs so much he can't even eat. Seeing his wife's brows knit together and his eyes glistening, with his love for him practically written all over his face, Gu Qi discreetly tucks the handcuffs he's prepared under the bed. "Don't worry. I'll come with you to the set." "Gu Qi, you're the best!" When Pei Lingyu runs into the original contrast character, Qiao Siming, he's browsing an antique stall, hoping to find a bargain. Qiao Siming arrives after catching wind of it and snidely mocks him: "People really do flock together. Picking antiques out of a pile of junk, and you actually think you have the eye for it?" Gu Qi, who has secretly followed them, holds a black card between his fingers. He looks at Qiao Siming like he's already dead. "Does he always act this recklessly in front of you?" "He's just barking. Come on, let's go home. My feet are tired." Pei Lingyu smiles unconcernedly, turns around, and climbs onto Gu Qi's back. The two of them completely ignore Qiao Siming, who's so angry his nose is practically crooked. Later, Pei Lingyu and Gu Qi are forced to reveal their identities publicly. Haters mock them relentlessly: "So what if he's good-looking? He deserves it for being a lovesick idiot and supporting a poor guy!" The next day, the marriage reality show Love Without End airs. On the show, Pei Lingyu lives in a grand manor, with eight servants waiting on him whenever he goes out. He's truly waited on hand and foot. Meanwhile, Gu Qi, whom everyone assumes married into money, gives the camera crew a tour of the house. "Peipei likes fairy tales. When I told him the story of the nightingale, he said he wanted a little cage, so I had one made of solid gold." The luxurious birdcage stands in a lofty room. A red jewel at its pointed top gleams so brightly it hurts to look at. Through the camera, viewers see the whole floor covered in fluffy rugs, and a swing inside the cage. The internet is genuinely losing it. "Mom! There's a pervert here!" "Whoa, whoa, do rich people get this wild?" "Can I even hear this? I'm going to dream about spoiling Pei tonight!" Gu Qi glances at the flood of comments flying by, then puts an arm around Pei Lingyu and kisses him out of view of the camera. Turning back, he says provocatively, "Do you like it? He's mine." Pei Lingyu grabs Gu Qi's face, turns him around, and plants a hard kiss on him. "You're mine too!" Theme: You have to love yourself
