== Losing control for love | Getting back together after a breakup | Intimate tension | A beauty's trap

== A tender, flirtatious model x a possessive young heir to a Zhejiang business empire

== The joy of first love in youth is fragile, but old flames rekindled burn with desire

Hangzhou is full of models, and everyone in the industry knows Ban Lan for her stunning waist-to-hip ratio.

After traveling across the ocean, she decided to spend big on a "keep the baby, lose the father" arrangement.

The biological father in the photo was 190 centimeters tall, mixed-race, with blue eyes, blond hair, and a nose bridge that seemed to reach the sky.

She was narrowing her eyes to look for him...

"Stop looking. I'm your replacement."

The woman looked up. Wasn't this false advertising?

The man in front of her was offering himself, with an East Asian face and striking features. He was the only heir to a wealthy Zhejiang family, a prince of the fashion world.

Was her plan to keep the baby and lose the father about to be hijacked by her ex?

"Why not give me a chance?"

"You already ran away once. Why come back and stir me up again?"

"If you get together with someone else, I'll go crazy."

A little scene:

She'd never seen a prince so crazy. He gave her money and connections, and would even risk his life for her.

The news was full of reports that the CEO of Yiyang Jiawen had been bewitched by a mysterious woman, spending a fortune just to get slapped in the face.

"Ban Lan, have you ever had even the slightest bit of genuine affection for me?"

"What are you thinking? It was just a game of love. President Chi, would you like to keep enjoying it?"

The man slipped his fingers into her mouth.

"Let me see if there's a single honest word in there."

His love overflowed. He'd spend every last cent just to hear her cry out, "More."

He loved and cherished her as a boy, keeping watch over her. When they met again, he spoiled her, desired her, and wanted to keep her bound to him.

In the storm, Ban Lan's fingertips brushed the scar. It was cleverly hidden beneath jade-colored wings, the raised skin blending into the pattern. It was a secret no one would ever know unless they touched it.

"So what is this design?"

"A kingfisher. They say that when it flies across the sea, it calms every storm."

[Sweet Porridge, Sweet Dreams] A little candy-sweet story

== A sweet, affectionate, soft and sunny girl

== A restrained older brother with possessive dom tendencies

Both sexually inexperienced | Foster care | Age gap | A self-disciplined, proper man finally gives in and falls with his eyes open

The place that finally made Su You force Shen Jiali to show his true colors was the civil affairs bureau.

"Ge, I'm getting married soon."

Attached was a freshly taken red-background photo of her and her boyfriend.

Shen Jiali drove at 180 kilometers per hour.

If he got there in time, he could steal her away right then. If not, he would have to apologize to the ancestors of the Shen family for going against their teachings.

Su You smiled as she linked arms with the young man. "Darling, this is my brother. After we get married, we'll be family."

The young man reached out respectfully. "Big brother, I'll take good care of her."

The man across from them loosened his tie. "I'll do it instead. I've taken care of her for so many years. I'm afraid you won't manage."

The young man smiled bitterly. "Su You, your brother didn't come to give you a household registration book. He wants his name on your household registration book."

Su You burst out, "Shen Jiali, you did this on purpose! You kept going on about ethics and morality, and now you're ruining my chance to marry someone else."

Shen Jiali pulled her into his arms. "Which little troublemaker was lighting incense in my room every night? Were you not doing that on purpose?"

Su You said sadly, "And yet you still managed to stay calm and resist temptation."

Shen Jiali leaned down. "I lost control a long time ago."

It was New Year's Eve once again, and the fireworks ban had made the night unusually quiet.

It could not hide the reckless heat in their room.

Female lead: So, brother, have you decided to be the third wheel in a relationship with three people?

Male lead: Weren't you satisfied just now?

Female lead: Brother, I still like you best as my brother.

Male lead: Still not satisfied?

Female lead: I heard dating a younger guy helps a girl stay young and energetic?

Male lead: Su You, think carefully before you speak. Your brother doesn't mind making sure you're satisfied a few more times.

Female lead: Have you made up your mind, brother?

Male lead: I have. From today on, I'll be the brother you keep hidden away.

How they met:

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, people welcome the God of Wealth. Who do you welcome on New Year's Eve? A handsome guy?

Su You saw the man from the outstanding graduates' photo walking toward her. Like a stray kitten with nowhere to go, she even forgot to breathe.

Shen Jiali taught her to paint and took care of her. He was more like a real brother than her own brother could have been.

But his plans had no room for forbidden desires.

He turned Su You down ten times, pushing her toward other men and telling her seriously, "You'll meet someone better. You'll date him and marry him."

This time, Su You said yes and walked away without looking back.

He went mad.

Passing the art studio, he saw the first two strokes of a young man onstage sketched on Su You's canvas.

Furious, he carried the easel away.

"Zhaozhao, I taught you to paint so you could paint me, not some other man."

For the first time, Su You saw something in Shen Jiali's eyes that wasn't brotherly.

Yes! Let's see how long you can keep pretending!

Each lead has only ever been with the other. The boyfriend and such are just a smokescreen.

They are not related by blood and are not on the same household registration. Anything beyond the line happens only after they are adults.

It's just an incredibly sweet, beautiful little story.

Please add it to your collection! Mwah mwah mwah!
