I'll Take Care of My Own Husband

Everyone in investment banking knew that Shen Yanchu was a wealthy playboy, with the professional creed that "the only stable relationships are based on money and mutual benefit."

Yet one phone call from a certain person could bring him home from a networking dinner tangled in a web of business interests.

No one would have guessed that the call came from Shen Yu, the child he'd taken in more than ten years earlier.

He'd raised him since he was eight, and they'd been together ever since.

A close friend warned him that Shen Yu was calculating and ambitious, and told him not to keep an ungrateful wretch by his side.

Shen Yanchu didn't take it seriously. "What ambition could he possibly have? He's a little kid who's scared of caterpillars."

Men and women eager to get close to him dropped hints that Shen Yu looked at him strangely.

Shen Yanchu just laughed it off. "I raised him from a little kid. I've spent enough money on him to stack it higher than he is tall. Of course he looks at me differently from everyone else."

Then one day, a teacher called to tell him that Shen Yu's grades had dropped and he might be dating someone.

Shen Yanchu frowned, convinced this was serious. After hanging up, he sternly scolded him: "No dating before you're grown up!"

Later, after Shen Yu's eighteenth birthday party, Shen Yanchu sat on the sofa and looked at him. For the first time, he realized that the little boy he'd always thought of as a kid was now a handsome, grown man, and even half a head taller than him.

Shen Yu met his gaze, eyes blazing, and slowly leaned down, backing Shen Yanchu into the corner of the sofa. "I'm eighteen now. I'm an adult. Can I date now?"

Shen Yu had always looked up to Shen Yanchu as the ideal man. From childhood through adolescence, Shen Yanchu had been part of every first lesson in his life. Even the face in his first impassioned fantasy had been Shen Yanchu's.

But Shen Yu knew that Shen Yanchu saw him only as a child.

On the eve of his birthday, Shen Yanchu asked what he wanted as a coming-of-age gift.

Shen Yu stared at him without blinking and answered pointedly, "Anything money can buy is nothing to you. I want something money can't buy."

Shen Yanchu thought it was just a rebellious teenage phase. He often said that if money could solve a problem, then it wasn't a problem, so he simply waved a hand and gave him a bank card.

Then one day, after Shen Yu had gone to great lengths to finally get what he wanted, he thought he could at last confess the secret he'd kept for years. But Shen Yanchu was nowhere to be found.

Shen Yu waited anxiously by his phone for days. All he got was a bank notification saying his balance had multiplied several times over.

He opened WeChat and typed, one character at a time: [Bro, I don't want money. I only want you.]

"You're eighteen now, an adult. You can be a grown-up in the world, and still be your brother's little boy."
