Calculated Seduction

[Naughty young master bottom x poor, refined young man top]

When Jiang You was at university, he took part in a research-support fundraiser out of boredom and donated a hundred thousand yuan to someone named Xu Yi.

Only afterward did he learn that Xu Yi was the top scorer on the national college entrance exam, with a bright future ahead of him, but he was a poor guy paying off his father's debts.

As it happened, Jiang You had nothing else, but he did have money.

The spoiled young master walked into the shop where Xu Yi worked and slapped a bank card down in front of him. "Hey, be mine. You can have as much money as you want."

Jiang You knew Xu Yi hated him, but he still had to take him home whenever he got hopelessly drunk. Jiang You liked that face that kept everyone at a distance, and the way Xu Yi had no choice but to do as he was told.

On the day Xu Yi graduated, Jiang You got him drunk and slept with him. When he woke up, Jiang You left him some money and said, "I'm bored of you," then abandoned him and disappeared.

Six years later, Jiang You was working as a waiter in a bar.

A man in a suit stepped in front of him and blocked a flying bottle. Despite his refined appearance, he said something completely out of character: "Hey, be mine. You can have as much money as you want."
