The Cool-Headed Researcher Has Had Their Client in Their Sights for Ages

Devoted Daddy top × Proud little firecracker bottom [S0M1]

Li Jiale had already secured a top-tier technology patent in his second year of graduate school. His teachers and classmates all thought he was a stone-faced, arrogant guy who never paid anyone any attention. But in secret, he was seducing the lab's deep-pocketed benefactor.

Nobody knew that Li Jiale had been in love with Ye Luming for six years. He was no longer the awkward young man who didn't dare confess his feelings.

This time, convinced he was a top, he swore he would win Ye Luming over and have his beauty in his arms as soon as possible.

Ye Luming was the executive president of the Ye Group and a famous alumnus of B University. He'd grown up surrounded by admirers, but at heart he was a hopeless romantic who never let anyone else get close.

The first time he met Li Jiale, the other man nearly drowned. Ye Luming dove into the lake, dragged him up from the bottom, and gave him CPR.

The second time he met Li Jiale, the other man was blind drunk. Ye Luming was just passing by when Li Jiale grabbed him and kissed him senseless.

So Ye Luming was certain that since the same person had stolen his first kiss twice, he ought to take the other man's virginity. Just as he was preparing to pursue him, however, his father ruthlessly shipped the CEO, all show and no substance, overseas.

When they reunited, Li Jiale had become a shining new star on academic forums, while the scheming, ambitious Ye Luming had taken control of the family empire and poured a fortune into sponsoring Li Jiale's lab.

On the surface, theirs was a perfectly proper client-and-contractor relationship. In private, even their glances were thick with desire, never mind what happened at night: the sofa, the bathroom, the big bed, the floor-to-ceiling window...

Outside, wind and snow raged. Inside, they made love without pause.

With a bang, Li Jiale's head hit the headboard. Dazed for a few seconds, he struggled to open his eyes, only to see Ye Luming still holding his waist and...

Seeing stars and aching in the lower belly, he couldn't help slapping Ye Luming. “Damn it, when are you going to stop?!”

Ye Luming's face immediately burned with pain, and his ears rang. “You...”

A few seconds later, he pressed his tongue against his cheek and smiled wickedly, yet affectionately.

After that, Li Jiale obeyed his deep-pocketed benefactor during the day, and his benefactor obeyed him at night.

So what if he was a high-and-mighty heir, a heaven-blessed prodigy? For love, he still bowed his head.
