A vain, money-loving bottom x a scheming, calculating older daddy top
For three hundred thousand, Jiang Mei was willing to become a substitute bride. The groom was the Ye family's powerful head, who suffered from a hidden ailment.
He signed the agreement in front of them, pressed his fingerprint to it, and repeatedly promised that he would do his best to play his part and strictly abide by every clause in the contract until the real young master returned.
But when Ye Siheng kissed his cheek at the wedding, Jiang Mei instinctively slapped him. The whole room erupted.
After the wedding, Jiang Mei was taken to the bridal suite. Looking at the castle-like house, he felt a twinge of envy.
Why wasn't a house this nice his?
So when his new husband walked in, he immediately demanded the house, claiming it was compensation for his husband suddenly kissing him.
Ye Siheng looked at the young man in front of him. He was clearly unsophisticated, spoke with an accent, and yet had a beautiful face. Ye Siheng frowned. "Are you Fang Bairan?"
Jiang Mei folded his arms and lifted his chin. "If I'm not, then are you?"
Ye Siheng looked at Jiang Mei and suddenly smiled. "We're married. We can do things even more intimate than kissing."
Jiang Mei scoffed. "Why pretend? I already know you can't get it up."
Leaning against the door, Ye Siheng raised his long, slender fingers and waved two of them in front of Jiang Mei. "Two fingers are enough to send you over the moon."
Blushing, Jiang Mei swore at him. "You pervert!"
That night, he kicked Ye Siheng out of the bridal suite and slept there fully clothed.
After they were married, Jiang Mei and Ye Siheng didn't see each other often. He enjoyed the privileged life that came with his identity as the Fang family's young master, even learning to enjoy the nightlife like the other rich kids.
Who could have guessed he'd get caught red-handed by Ye Siheng? Jiang Mei showed no remorse and said Ye Siheng had no right to control him.
Ye Siheng nearly sent him over the moon with two fingers. The next morning, Jiang Mei tearfully demanded compensation, and Ye Siheng gave him a house.
Jiang Mei suddenly decided this arrangement wasn't so bad after all. He never looked back from the path of compromise, and even got to experience for himself whether Ye Siheng was really incapable or not.
After that, Jiang Mei naturally claimed everything that belonged to Ye Siheng. Then the real young master suddenly returned and ordered Jiang Mei to go back to wherever he'd come from.
Ye Siheng had already devoured him. Why should Jiang Mei be the one to leave? They had been the ones to beg him for help in the first place. You couldn't just use someone and then kick them to the curb.
Fang Bairan mocked Jiang Mei for being a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, saying Ye Siheng loved him and Jiang Mei was only a substitute.
Remembering how Ye Siheng had softly called him Ranran, Jiang Mei flew into a rage, grabbed the money, and ran. He hadn't even gone a mile before Ye Siheng caught him and left him with no way out.
