A pure-hearted CEO top x a playful bottom who can't help flirting
#From tutor to the rich kid's aunt by marriage#
While doing a good deed outside the shop where he worked, Zhang Qiao found a child who couldn't speak. The child's family came looking for him in a luxury car, accompanied by an assistant, and clearly had money and status.
Zhang Qiao took one look from a distance and walked away. Standing outside the police station, he called a friend: "I found a kid. Looks pretty rich. The thank-you money? It has to be at least five figures, right?"
To his surprise, when he turned around, the child's guardian was right there. Up close, the man was quite handsome. His three-piece suit was exactly Zhang Qiao's type, but the way he looked at him was... a little cold.
*
The second time they met was downstairs from Zhang Qiao's rented apartment. He'd just finished feeding the cat when he turned around and saw a man standing behind him. The man's immaculate suit looked completely out of place in the old apartment block.
The man asked him to tutor his nephew, Qin Xiaoman, the child who couldn't speak.
Zhang Qiao didn't answer right away. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette.
A small orange glow flickered between his fingers. Through the rising smoke, he narrowed his eyes at the suited man and asked with a half-smile, "I only finished high school. Are you sure?"
*
If he had any other choice, Qin Yiheng wouldn't have come to Zhang Qiao. But his nephew Qin Xiaoman was timid, and Zhang Qiao was one of the few people he'd ever shown affection for.
Even through the smoke, Qin Yiheng could tell Zhang Qiao had a very pretty face. His skin was fair, his eyes curved when he smiled, and there was a dimple in one cheek, making him look well-behaved and innocent.
But that brazen gaze made Qin Yiheng very uncomfortable.
Later, when Zhang Qiao learned the identity of his birth mother, he left for another country. Qin Yiheng followed him. In a foreign city buried in snow, he found Zhang Qiao burning with fever and took him back to the hotel to care for him.
To the hotel receptionist, Qin Yiheng declared, "I'm his boyfriend."
To Zhang Qiao's birth mother, Qin Yiheng said without hesitation, "I'm his fiance."
But Zhang Qiao overheard both statements and teased him with a laugh. "You got promoted twice in one day, Mr. Qin. Not bad."
Maybe it was the cold, but Qin Yiheng's ears turned a little red. Holding Zhang Qiao's cold feet against his chest, he asked in a low voice, "Then will you accept?"
[Bonus scene]
Zhang Qiao moved into the Qin home and became Qin Xiaoman's live-in tutor. Not long afterward, Qin Xiaoman finally began to speak. He could only manage one word at a time, but hearing him call out "Uncle" nearly made Qin Yiheng weep with joy.
Zhang Qiao asked Qin Xiaoman, "Then what do you call me?"
Qin Xiaoman stammered, "Un... uncle..."
Zhang Qiao flicked him on the forehead. "Silly boy. Why do you call everyone uncle?"
Qin Xiaoman looked up at him and grinned foolishly.
Much later, when Qin Xiaoman could speak almost without difficulty, he saw Zhang Qiao again and ran over to call out loudly, "Auntie!"

[Synopsis]
After his older brother died in an accident, Li Mingshen took care of the funeral. By chance, he learned his brother had a five-year-old son with his ex-wife, born after their divorce and now being raised by the child's maternal uncle.
Unable to withstand his mother's constant crying and complaints, Li Mingshen had no choice but to start pursuing custody of the child. He couldn't be bothered to handle it himself, so he sent a lawyer to negotiate with the child's uncle. Surely the problem could be solved with money.
Before long, the lawyer came back looking dejected. The other man had flatly refused, thrown him out, and even left him with a warning.
Li Mingshen asked, "What did he say?"
The lawyer hesitated. "He said... if you dare show up, he'll break your legs."
Li Mingshen laughed it off, but inwardly sneered, convinced the man was a boor.
Only later, when he went in person and met Liang Muqiu, did he realize he'd seen him before, more than once.
He hid his identity and stayed, doing the most dishonorable thing he'd ever done.
*
The day Liang Muqiu discovered Li Mingshen's identity, he was furious and shouted, "Get out!"
Not long after, he learned that the person who'd never met him, yet had stayed by his side and tried to encourage him through a career slump, was also Li Mingshen.
"So that was you, too." Liang Muqiu gave a self-mocking smile. "Was it fun playing me like that?"
"It wasn't fun." Li Mingshen looked at him, his voice low. "Because I wasn't playing."
*
Everyone said Li Mingshen was cold by nature. His father had barely died when he seized power at the company, and he hadn't shed a single tear at his brother's funeral.
He was ambitious, capable, and ruthless, but had no feelings.
But none of that held true once he met Liang Muqiu and Liang Dongdong.
Mistakenly believing Liang Muqiu had a so-called "first love" who had betrayed him, Li Mingshen kept his composure on the surface while seething with jealousy inside. He sneered, "He must be blind."
Liang Muqiu didn't rush to explain. He simply said, "Oh?" Then he smiled brightly and asked, "How so?"
Li Mingshen gazed at the beautiful face before him, as lovely as peach blossoms, and the tiny mole by the tip of his nose. He said softly, "If it were me, my eyes would never leave you. How could I possibly make room for anyone else?"
