The Disaster of Raising a Brooding, Manipulative Sweetheart

Next book: "My Straight Dad Is Terrified Some Other Man Will Seduce Me"

While on a business trip to a country in Southeast Asia, Yan Qingyuan took in a beautiful boy covered in bruises. His name was Yang Yi.

After returning home, he found himself with an obedient, nearly all-purpose little kitten.

Yang Yi was elegant and capable, could cook, and always liked to burrow into his arms, rubbing against his neck as he cooed, "Big brother, hug me~"

Yan Qingyuan gradually came to think of him as his own little brother.

But he didn't realize that beneath those seemingly innocent eyes lay a thick, consuming possessiveness.

Then, one time, Yang Yi helped him land the company's biggest project of the year. After the celebration banquet, Yan Qingyuan, hazy with drink, asked him:

"What do you want as a reward?"

Yang Yi leaned close until their noses touched, his fingertip gently stroking Yan Qingyuan's soft lips. "I want your love, big brother. Can I have it?"

Yan Qingyuan thought he meant brotherly affection. "Sure."

"Then... can you kiss me?"

Yan Qingyuan lifted his chin and kissed him lightly.

"Then how about we sleep together?"

Yan Qingyuan sobered up. "...Wait."

*

Yang Yi, the son of City A's richest man, paid no attention to the vast family fortune. His whole heart was set on his childhood crush.

Yan Qingyuan had since become an industry-renowned, handsome elite: aloof, proud, and dazzling.

Unfortunately, the name "Yang Yi" meant nothing to him.

Yang Yi lay low for months.

He acted sweet, played the victim, and used the hero-to-the-rescue routine...

Every night, he hugged a custom doll made to look like Yan Qingyuan and bent down to kiss its toes as if in a trance. "Big brother, you're mine. You can only be mine."

But one day, things went off script.

He discovered Yan Qingyuan really did see him only as a little brother and was deliberately keeping his distance.

Hah.

Yang Yi's gaze darkened, the curve of his lips cold and dangerous. "We already kissed. You think you can run?"

Don't make me take you by force!

*He runs, he pursues.

On his birthday, Yan Qingyuan politely accepted a bouquet of roses from someone else.

When he opened his eyes again, he was in a villa halfway up a mountain.

Yang Yi cornered Yan Qingyuan in front of the villa's floor-to-ceiling window and grabbed his ankle.

"Big brother, you were naughty. How dare you accept someone else's flowers right in front of your husband?"

"Tonight... you'll apologize to your husband properly in bed."

● Younger gong, seven-year age gap

● The shou has an ex-boyfriend, and their relationship was platonic. The reason is a spoiler.

● The gong is pretty like a manhwa character, not androgynous. Beneath his obedient act, he's a devoted, unhinged yandere. He pretends to be weak but is actually very strong, and his feelings for the shou are overwhelming. The shou is an exceptionally handsome, aloof elite who indulges his younger lover, but can also slap him.

● Sweet moments, melodrama, and intense, high-tension push and pull. Whew!

Please add "My Straight Dad Is Terrified Some Other Man Will Seduce Me" to your reading list.

To outsiders, Lu Zhixiao is a cold, ruthless straight CEO. The only person he spoils without restraint is Tong Ran, the son of his father's old friend.

If Tong Ran scrapes his hand, Lu Zhixiao has to blow on it. If he hates the taste of his herbal medicine, Lu Zhixiao has to feed it to him. If he can't sleep at night, Lu Zhixiao has to keep him company...

Lu Zhixiao indulges him in everything. He likes spoiling him.

He thought his little tagalong would always be obedient. Then one day, Lu Zhixiao accidentally opened Tong Ran's diary: "I want to bite his Adam's apple." "I want to watch him sweat for me." "I want to kiss him, hug him, sleep with him"...

The wild, explicit words made Lu Zhixiao see black. Oh no! Some other man is seducing my little brother!

After that, he tried everything to "set Tong Ran straight" while secretly hunting down the other man.

Tong Ran was looking at a shirtless fitness photo of someone on his computer.

Lu Zhixiao caught sight of the six-pack abs and failed to recognize himself.

"It's all Photoshop, a trick to fool kids." He scoffed, snapped the laptop shut, grabbed Tong Ran's hand, and pressed it to his own rock-hard abs.

"Can you feel them? This is the real deal. If you want to see abs from now on, come to me. Don't look at that other junk."

Tong Ran swallowed and nodded obediently. "Mm, the real thing does feel better."

Tong Ran deliberately wore a black Lolita dress as he wandered around the villa's courtyard. His legs were long and straight beneath the hem, and silver chains on the bows of his stockings jingled softly as he moved.

Lu Zhixiao's eyelid twitched. He grabbed Tong Ran by the wrist and dragged him in front of a mirror.

"Do you know what will happen if some bad man gets his hands on you dressed like this?"

He pinned Tong Ran from behind, his large hands making an exaggerated show of roaming over the young man's waist, trying to scare him off with a pretend "practice run."

"He'll bully you terribly, just like this, and tear you apart! Are you scared? If you are, don't dress like this again!"

Tong Ran's cheeks flushed bright red as he felt the warmth behind him. Oh my, what if this only makes me more excited...

Later, one day, Tong Ran used his supplementary card to book a hotel room with a king-sized bed.

Lu Zhixiao couldn't take it anymore. Seething with fury, he stormed to the hotel.

Tong Ran had just gotten out of the shower. His bathrobe hung loosely from his shoulders, water dripping from his collarbone.

Lu Zhixiao strode forward, his voice harsh and low. "Men out there only want your body. None of them are any good. Tell me, who is that other man? I'll destroy him!"

Tong Ran laughed in exasperation!

He grabbed Lu Zhixiao by the tie and kissed him hard.

Lu Zhixiao: "..."

Lu Zhixiao: "?"

#About how I'm hunting myself down across the world#

#The other man I've been guarding against all along was me#

[Bonus scene]

Tong Ran threw a tantrum and tried to leave home, shoving the man blocking the door. "Move! I'm not living with a cowardly straight man!"

Darkness surged in Lu Zhixiao's eyes. He grabbed Tong Ran around the waist with one hand and tossed him over his shoulder.

"Who says I'm straight? Come on, let's go to bed and see for yourself."

He kicked open the bedroom door, locked it behind them, and pinned Tong Ran against the edge of the bed. His burning fingertips brushed Tong Ran's lips.

"I've memorized every word in your diary: 'I want to hug him, kiss him, sleep with him.' The night's still young. I'll give you everything you want, one by one..."

Theme: I embrace you with the most passionate love.
