The Tsundere Straight Guy Catches the Eye of a Cunning Mogul

Full manuscript completed. Updates daily at 1 a.m.

Tsundere straight-laced CEO × scheming, doting shareholder

Gu Heng had always been convinced he was completely straight.

That is, until the very first day of his business trip to Chengdu, when he ended up in bed with Li Wenye.

Rumor had it that Lord Chuan had dropped out of high school, built his fortune from nothing, and was decisive and ruthless in business, with formidable methods. And because he was ridiculously good-looking, everyone in their circle wanted to get close to him.

But faced with the imposing man before him, Gu Heng bristled. "Y-You took advantage of me when I was vulnerable! I'm straight!"

Li Wenye lowered his head and leaned closer. "You enjoyed yourself that night too, didn't you?"

*

Guided by the principles of keeping business strictly professional and putting profit first, Gu Heng and Li Wenye made peace and established a client-vendor relationship.

From then on,

Li Wenye accompanied Gu Heng on business trips abroad.

Gu Heng had a thing about cleanliness, so Li Wenye polished his shoes by hand.

Gu Heng felt down, so Li Wenye became his life coach.

Gu Heng ran out of money, so Li Wenye put everything in his wallet on the line for him.

Seeing their relationship head in a decidedly suspicious direction, Gu Heng requested a transfer in the middle of the night.

But a week later, at a gathering, the two of them sat at the same table for dinner.

After a few rounds of drinks, no one knew who made the first move.

All that mattered was that the next morning, they woke up in the same bed.

The morning light was hazy, and Li Wenye's arm was still wrapped around Gu Heng's waist.

Gu Heng hurriedly braced a hand against his chest and tried to pull away, only to be drawn back into an even tighter embrace.

Gu Heng stammered, "L-Li Wenye, you..."

"What, are you going to say you're straight again?"

Li Wenye bent down. The scent of mint mingled with his warm breath as it enveloped Gu Heng. His burning lips grazed Gu Heng's collarbone, Adam's apple, and the bridge of his nose, before finally settling lightly on the corner of his heated eyes. "Your body is a lot more honest than your mouth."

Notes:

1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced.

2. This is a workplace romance in name only, though it does include workplace plotlines. The author isn't in the industry and will do their best to research. Please forgive any inaccuracies in the professional details.

3. The top isn't a typical doting, fatherly type. He only becomes more attentive in the middle and later parts of the story.

4. The romance develops gradually, with no misunderstandings. The characters are good at communicating.

5. There is a second male lead who likes the bottom and competes with the top for him.

6. No regional prejudice. The author is from Sichuan and can prove it with their ID card.

"Longing to Be Touched and Used by My Neighbor"

Blurb:

Also known as "I Want Cuddles and Kisses" and "The Neighbor's Temptation"

Jian Han had a curly-haired teddy bear named Beibei who wore glasses. He called it Baby Bear and had to hug it every night to fall asleep.

But lately Baby Bear had gone missing, and Jian Han had been lying awake night after night, unable even to eat.

Just as he couldn't take it anymore and was about to go to the hospital, a new neighbor moved in next door.

The new neighbor was a man: tall, with naturally curly hair and glasses.

For some reason, the moment Jian Han saw him, he felt an inexplicable urge to get close and hug him tight.

That night, Jian Han still couldn't sleep. He had the persistent feeling that something on the other side of the wall was drawing him in.

So he stumbled over and knocked on the neighbor's door.

The new neighbor had just showered. Water dripped from his cheeks and hair, and at six foot three, he completely blocked the light from inside the doorway. Jian Han had to tilt his head back to meet his gaze.

He smells so good... I want to hug him so badly...

The man's name was Cheng Yi. He wasn't just Jian Han's new neighbor, but also the therapist his family had hired for him.

Cheng Yi's massage technique was exceptionally professional. His hands knew every bone in Jian Han's body, easing his symptoms considerably.

But when the treatment ended and his fingers left Jian Han's skin, an even deeper emptiness washed over him.

In the dark, Jian Han stared at Cheng Yi's fingers, breathing hard, his whole body trembling.

He wished the therapy could involve more, and go deeper.

*

Jian Han thought Dr. Cheng was very strange.

When Dr. Cheng was injured, he didn't bleed. Instead, the wound split open to reveal the pure white cotton inside.

Dr. Cheng was afraid of fire, and never kept anything that could start one in his home.

Dr. Cheng also had a work log, but he never let Jian Han read it.
