My Husband Can Read Minds

Jiang Qi had a secret he couldn't tell anyone.

He was reborn.

In his previous life, before turning twenty-five, he was the enviable Young Master Jiang of Nancheng. After twenty-five, he became the Jiang cur everyone in Nancheng wanted to beat up.

Other people got into college by passing the entrance exams. Jiang Qi paid his way in.

In his youth, he was a complete playboy. He followed others' example and kept a male college student. He had plenty of money, so naturally his kept canary was top-tier.

Ji Yingli, A University's most famous aloof academic prodigy.

A heaven-blessed talent like Ji Yingli should never have looked twice at Jiang Qi. But he was short on money, while Jiang Qi had more than enough. With enough money, you could fill in the Pacific Ocean, let alone buy off a student.

Even after Ji Yingli eventually repaid Jiang Qi, principal and interest, Jiang Qi still wouldn't let him go.

Jiang Qi kept making promises, saying he'd let Ji Yingli go once he got bored of him. But before that day came, the Jiang family went bankrupt. Hunted by creditors, Jiang Qi watched his parents die before his eyes. Just as a knife was about to pierce his throat, steady footsteps sounded in the dark alley.

Through eyes blurred by blood, he saw the newcomer: cold and composed, none other than Ji Yingli, the unstoppable rising star of the business world.

From that day on, Ji Yingli locked Jiang Qi in a basement.

Jiang Qi thought Ji Yingli must hate him to the core, and that this was his revenge. He began drinking heavily, never clearheaded, and lost track of how long he spent in the basement.

A lawyer came to get him out. Along with the lawyer came news of Ji Yingli's death, and all of Ji Yingli's property.

Jiang Qi attended Ji Yingli's funeral. He lay in the coffin, still as beautiful as he had been when young, only terribly thin.

At the funeral, Jiang Qi learned that Ji Yingli had died of stomach cancer. He also learned that Ji Yingli had paid off his debts over the years.

At last, he could live in the sunlight again.

But in the middle of the night, Jiang Qi dug up Ji Yingli's grave, pried open his coffin, and climbed inside.

Let him go just like that? Not a chance.

After being reborn, Jiang Qi finally developed a conscience and realized he shouldn't keep dragging Ji Yingli down. He should treat Ji Yingli better, and the best way he could think of was to stay away from him.

But it seemed he'd been reborn at the wrong time. He had just thrown a black card at Ji Yingli and told him to be his kept canary.

'Waaah, darling, I finally get to see you again. Slap me and tell me this isn't a dream.'

Jiang Qi screamed inside, but his face betrayed nothing. He bent to pick up the black card from the floor and said coolly, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

But as soon as he picked it up, someone tugged at it. He looked up to see Ji Yingli gripping the black card in his hand. His voice was cool as he said, "I accept."

Jiang Qi: "Wha... what?"

...A quick recommendation for my other ongoing novel, Let the World-Destroying Demon Lord Carry a Baby...

Dark Night is a cultivation progression power fantasy. It was thrilling all the way through, until the ending took a sharp turn: a demon lord showed up and destroyed the world with a snap of his fingers.

Gu Shi transmigrated into the book as a cannon-fodder character with a prestigious family but no spiritual roots, and no way to cultivate. 😭

To survive, Gu Shi came up with all sorts of plans, but none of them were foolproof.

Then the secret realm of Xizhou opened, and Gu Shi accidentally fell into a cave.

Inside was a beautiful white-haired man, his face flushed and his breathing ragged. It seemed someone had given him some well-known aphrodisiac.

Gu Shi had just started to run when a powerful force dragged him back. The white-haired beauty gripped him by the throat, eyes crimson, and parted his thin lips.

"Not bad-looking."

Gu Shi: 😳

Forced into a night of passion, Gu Shi ignored his aching back and ran off while the white-haired beauty was unconscious.

Back at the sect, Gu Shi was astonished to find spiritual roots growing in his barren spiritual field.

Gu Shi: 🤔 Damn, could that beauty have been some once-in-a-generation powerhouse?

To prevent future trouble, Gu Shi specifically waited until the Xizhou secret realm closed before returning to Xizhou, where he sincerely apologized to the air.

He was just about to leave when a powerful force grabbed him. When he opened his eyes, he saw the familiar cave, the familiar white-haired beauty, and the familiar ragged breathing.

Gu Shi: 😨😨

Forced into passion once again, Gu Shi didn't dare run away, given the other's power. He obediently waited for the white-haired beauty to wake up.

The white-haired beauty opened his eyes, golden light flowing through them. He clearly wasn't someone to trifle with.

Gu Shi stood primly. "Senior."

The white-haired beauty raised an eyebrow. "Now you're being so proper."

Gu Shi's face warmed. He'd been single for decades, and suddenly getting a taste of sex had left him a little dazed.

"This junior received a fortuitous opportunity from Senior. I should stay and serve you, but there is something I must do. Once it's taken care of, I'll return and beg your forgiveness."

The white-haired beauty asked casually, "What is it?"

Gu Shi didn't hide it from him. After all, a world-destroying demon lord deserved to be killed by everyone.

"Kill Xuan You."

The white-haired beauty paused. A hint of scrutiny entered his gaze. "Do you have a grudge against him?"

Gu Shi: "Xuan You is cruel by nature and holds grudges over the slightest offense. If he isn't killed, he'll destroy the world one day."

The white-haired beauty raised an eyebrow and gave a soft snort. "Do as you like. Just come here once every three months."

Gu Shi hadn't expected him to be so easygoing. He happily replied, "Thank you, Senior."

Later, after reaching the full perfection of the golden body, Gu Shi made his way to Xuan You's lair without a hitch.

Seeing the familiar cave and the familiar figure on the bed, Gu Shi froze on the spot. 😟

"D-darling?"

Xuan You stroked his slightly swollen belly, turned to look at him, and raised an eyebrow. "Not calling me the world-destroying demon lord anymore?"

Gu Shi: 😱😱😱

A light, sweet story with pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing.
