Raising a Poor Little Mute with Love

"Willing to be the other woman for love": a brooding, possessive boss in his rut x a gentle, mute newlywed Both are each other's first and only! Su Ciqing looks pure, slender, and frail. He works diligently, loves life, and tries his best to take care of everyone around him. But his many good qualities have never brought him good luck. He was born mute, and his whole family hoped he would die soon so they could have a healthy child. At long last, he made it to adulthood, only for his mother to rush him into marriage, "selling" him to his childhood friend Ke Xiangwen so she could get some value out of him. Ke Xiangwen acts nice to him, but behind his back, Su Ciqing hears him telling a coworker, "It's just for fun," and "Who would marry a mute?" No matter how angry Su Ciqing gets, all he does is add expired sauce to the food he makes for Ke Xiangwen. Su Ciqing can't get angry. He isn't allowed to be angry. He's just a little mute, unwanted and liable to be abandoned at any moment. All his efforts are simply an attempt to win a little warmth. But those moments of warmth always pass like shooting stars, as if he's not worthy of them. Until he meets his boss, Jiang Ce. Jiang Ce is the devil boss everyone talks about. He squeezes his employees, forces them to work overtime, and puts the company's interests above everything else. When Jiang Ce picks Su Ciqing to be his personal assistant, everyone thinks Mr. Jiang is trying to force a useless little mute to resign. What they don't know is... In a corner where no one is looking, Jiang Ce will help Su Ciqing tie his untied shoelaces. The man can barely breathe after looking up and catching sight of a tempting patch of leg beneath Su Ciqing's shorts. On business trips together, Jiang Ce deliberately leaves only one room at the hotel. While Su Ciqing is asleep, he secretly breathes in the scent of shampoo in his hair. The glass in the CEO's office is one-way. Every day, Jiang Ce stands behind the window, secretly watching Su Ciqing work busily and smile at everyone. He wants Su Ciqing all to himself. He wants Su Ciqing to smile only at him. He wants Su Ciqing's fiance dead right now. At last, one day, Jiang Ce can no longer suppress his obsession. After Su Ciqing is kicked out of his home yet again and left homeless on the street, Jiang Ce opens an umbrella over his head. "Come with me, Xiao Su. I'm the one who'll protect you forever." ...Later, Su Ciqing finally understands. You can be loved even if you do nothing at all. My next story is The Daily Discipline of a Sweet Little Dimwit. Please add it to your collection, dear readers~ An innocent yet mischievous little fox, a troublemaking princess of a bottom x a stern, fatherly top who worries himself sick Wen Liangyu is the precious darling of his family. His parents and older brothers never dare go against his wishes. He has countless admirers, and is always surrounded by pretty butterflies trying every which way to please him. The Wen family is always worried some bad boy will lure Liangyu away. The good news: Liangyu has no room in his heart for romance. The bad news: He has no room for anything serious either. His head is empty, he thinks up new ways to have fun every day, and sometimes vanishes for two or three days. The Wen family can't bear to hit him or scold him. So when Liangyu goes to university, they entrust him to his fiance in the capital, Jing City. The engagement was arranged by Liangyu's grandmother. He has no memory of what Cen Zhaoshan looks like, and he hates that Cen Zhaoshan keeps trying to control him from overseas. Once he arrives in Jing City, the first thing he does is invite his friends to a bar. He's so drunk he can barely think straight. His small, fair face is flushed, and his eyes are hazy and dewy. His eyelashes flutter as he clings to a stranger's shoulder and asks, "Hi, are you the male model my friend ordered?" By the time Wen Liangyu brings the man back to his table, someone is already sitting beside his friend. "Sorry, my friend didn't order you," Wen Liangyu says to the man with an apologetic smile. His eyes are alluring, and his gaze flits about as he softly leans against the man. The man's features are stern. He wraps an arm around Wen Liangyu's waist and lifts him up. "Your friend ordered one. Didn't you order one too?" Wen Liangyu shakes his head sadly. "My lousy fiance took away all my pocket money!" * Cen Zhaoshan doesn't find his little fiance at the airport, so he tracks him down to a bar, where he's mistaken for a male model. He carries the drunken man home, wipes his face, changes his clothes, and coaxes him to sleep. After a long night of work, Liangyu sees him and says, "Good morning, male model!" Cen Zhaoshan looks at the person in front of him, hair sticking up and eyes bleary with sleep, looking utterly innocent. Suppressing his temper, he says, "Baby, you should call me hubby." Wen Liangyu: "Get lost! You'll never be one of my eight husbands!" Long-distance care turns into hands-on discipline. Wen Liangyu goes against Cen Zhaoshan at every turn. Cen Zhaoshan strictly forbids him from going anywhere seedy, so Wen Liangyu goes wherever he finds something new. Murder mystery games, bars, streetwear stores, racetracks, escape rooms... Cen Zhaoshan can haul Liangyu out of all kinds of places at any time of night or early morning and take him home. Then comes punishment, again and again. After a while, when his friends invite Wen Liangyu to play a murder mystery game and hire a male companion, Wen Liangyu covers his red, swollen bottom and shakes his head. "I'm not going. My husband is the most handsome, and I only love him. I'm not interested in other men." That night, after Cen Zhaoshan finishes checking the surveillance cameras as usual, Wen Liangyu kisses his cheek. "Hubby, I've been so good today. Can I have a reward?" Cen Zhaoshan: "Good boy. Your reward is a marriage certificate." Wen Liangyu: "(•̩̩̩̩_•̩̩̩̩) I only wanted to go out and have some fun." The next story: The Frail Young Master Dresses as a Woman and Lures a Real Daddy An Yu is a pampered young master born to the lap of luxury. He's sickly, fussy, and has made countless enemies. Then his family falls on hard times, and his endless supply of nourishing tonics is cut off. He can't afford to go to the hospital even when he coughs up blood. He even has to settle for the cheapest phone plan. His enemies ought to be able to let go of their grudges now. His own misery is hard enough to bear, but seeing his enemies happy is even more infuriating. To preserve what little dignity he has left, An Yu puts on women's clothes and starts livestreaming. On his very first day, a big spender in his livestream chat boosts him to the top of the rankings. An Yu waits nervously for the man to make a request. He falls asleep, but no private message comes. The second day. The third day... Whenever An Yu livestreams, he's guaranteed to reach number one within ten minutes. Everyone wants to know just how beautiful the newly popular faceless cross-dressing streamer is, how rich the silent number one supporter is, and whether the two of them have slept together. Two months pass. An Yu's bank balance grows at an incredible speed, and his conscience grows increasingly uneasy. He sends the big spender a photo on his own initiative. "Daddy, I cut my hand. Which hospital is closest?" The cut on his hand is barely noticeable. His two slender legs are pale and straight, with a blue diamond garter squeezing a soft ring of flesh. The big spender sends him an address. It's a cafe, not a hotel! An Yu changes the big spender's contact name to: Purehearted Number One. An Yu marches proudly up to the cafe, then turns around, makes an excuse, and runs away. Oh no, this time he's lured a real daddy! * An Yu never imagined that the silent number one supporter would be Fu Xiantang! Before the An family fell into ruin, Fu Xiantang often visited his father for tea and bought him toys. Until he was sixteen, An Yu always called him Daddy. They haven't seen each other in four years, but the older man's authority is still intimidating. An Yu decides to go all in: he blocks Fu Xiantang across the entire internet and makes a second account to secretly keep livestreaming. When he's eagerly heading out to dinner with his new number one supporter, three tall, burly bodyguards escort him back to the mansion where he grew up. Fu Xiantang sits on the bed An Yu slept in as a child. Smiling coldly, he asks, "Baby, do you call everyone Daddy?" "When I held you as a child, did they all get to hold you too?"
