How Can Courting Your Wife Be Called Deception?

Ji Jinming has three secrets:

1. He's an extra earning 70 a day, but his bank account balance has seven zeroes.

2. He loves watching playboys get their comeuppance, especially when it happens at his hands.

3. He agreed to a confession on purpose. What could he do when someone came right to his door?

A young star is about to confess to the man he's been pining after for ages, and Ji Jinming gets dragged along to provide moral support.

After the mission is complete, he's just about to make his exit when someone suddenly grabs him, and he crashes into a pair of alluring, peach-blossom eyes.

Ye Lan grips his wrist. "Actually, I like you more."

"?" Ji Jinming catches the impatience in Ye Lan's eyes and runs his tongue over one canine.

He pretends to be delighted. "Really? I like you too!"

Ye Lan: ??

*

Ye Lan is carefree and flirtatious, casually spouts sweet nothings, spends lavishly, and is tall and beautiful. Everyone who's ever dated him can't forget him.

Dragging Ji Jinming in to take the fall was a last resort. Not bothering to explain afterward was because Ye Lan was attracted to his looks.

Ji Jinming has no connections. He's clean-cut, innocent, and a perfect match for Ye Lan's tastes.

On their first date, Ye Lan plans to get the kid drunk.

In the end, Ye Lan is the one left bleary-eyed with drink.

Just as he's about to topple over, Ji Jinming catches him around the waist with one arm and lifts him up. "Careful, gege."

On their second date, Ye Lan waits for the other to fall into his arms during a horror movie.

Instead, Ji Jinming takes his hand and interlaces their fingers.

His warm breath brushes Ye Lan's ear. "Don't be scared."

On their third date, Ye Lan talks at length about the food, showing off his knowledge.

Suddenly, a piece of steak is held to his lips. "Medium rare, right?"

He opens his mouth and takes a bite. When he looks down again, Ji Jinming has swapped their plates, with neatly sliced pieces of steak arranged on his.

*

All Ye Lan's tricks and easy confidence fail in front of Ji Jinming.

Ye Lan feels something is off. "You..."

Ji Jinming immediately leans in, looking at him with damp, drooping eyes. "What's wrong?"

Ye Lan is instantly speechless. He's so obedient. How could he possibly be up to anything?

That is, until a banquet held to welcome the young master home at the Ji residence. Ye Lan sees his boyfriend standing beneath a gilded dome, chatting and laughing with important people, not acting the least bit like an innocent little flower.

Damn, I'd been fooled!
