After the Gorgeous Little Tease Hooks Her Junior Daddy

The full title of this story is "After Turning Down My Junior's Confession, I Fell for His Dad, Only to Discover That His Uncle Is My First Love."

Traditional patriarchal gong × flirtatious, high-maintenance shou

Lin Zhao has been pursued by a junior from the art department for three months.

The junior is sweet and adorable, with a wealthy family, but he's completely not Lin Zhao's type. Deciding to put an end to things once and for all in person, Lin Zhao accepts the junior's invitation to dinner at his house.

Beneath the crystal chandelier, the head of the Huo family crosses his long legs and reads through some documents. His gaze lifts slightly from behind gold-rimmed glasses, and Lin Zhao's knees go weak.

This man is exactly Lin Zhao's type from head to toe.

So that very night, Lin Zhao corners him on the terrace without a hint of hesitation, his beautiful eyes sparkling with a radiant smile.

"Mr. Huo, will you teach me... how to turn down a kid?"

-

Huo Mingzheng does indeed teach Lin Zhao how to turn down a kid.

Lin Zhao pulls out every trick in the book, making full use of his pretty face and unruly personality to engineer chance encounters, flirt, and keep things tantalizingly ambiguous.

Huo Mingzheng remains unflappable, instead sternly advising Lin Zhao to be careful.

Lin Zhao doesn't understand why he needs to be careful. He just keeps flirting and flirting.

Until he uses the same lines to reject the junior's ardent confessions again and again, only to receive the full package: a month-long island getaway with the junior, who's turned into a creepy, obsessive ghost of a man.

At last, Lin Zhao understands what Huo Mingzheng was warning him to be careful about.

For nearly a month on the island, Lin Zhao gives the junior daily lectures, washing his mind and spirit, and urging him to turn over a new leaf.

The junior is as obedient as a puppy most of the time, but the moment Lin Zhao says he's leaving, he turns into a wolf, especially fond of burying his entire face in Lin Zhao's chest for a deep breath.

Before long, Huo Mingzheng arrives like a god in a helicopter, his face cold as he orders his men to haul the junior back.

He sees Lin Zhao leisurely fishing by the sea, the pale skin of his neck and collarbones covered in flushed marks.

Huo Mingzheng's gaze stills, a rare sight.

That night, Lin Zhao is pinned against the headboard and learns just how powerful a celibate older man can be.

After half a month of fooling around together, Huo Mingzheng has finally gotten a taste for sex, and he's strong and fit.

Though young, Lin Zhao can't keep up. From then on, even seeing the ridged sea cucumbers on the island leaves him shaken.

After returning from the island, Lin Zhao's first love comes back to the country and asks to see him several times, hinting that he wants to get back together.

Young and beautiful, Lin Zhao is a born playboy. Once he gets what he wants, he loses interest.

While caught up in indecision, he forgets all about Huo Mingzheng.

But not long afterward, at a charity gala hosted by the Huo family, the junior drops to one knee with a diamond ring and proposes.

Lin Zhao smiles as he prepares to turn him down gracefully, only to spot his first love at the table with the elders, raising an eyebrow at him with a knowing smile.

Lin Zhao's lips twitch. He feels like the whole world is some strange Huo family village.

In his panic, Lin Zhao stumbles a few steps and falls into Huo Mingzheng's arms, hearing a wineglass shatter behind him.

The man's palm clamps around his waist. Amid the uproar, he says in a hoarse voice:

"Lin Zhao, just try saying yes."

Huo Mingzheng prides himself on being steady and self-controlled, yet a spoiled little fox manages to drag him into the mess.

The little fox sits barefoot on his knee eating cherries, maliciously staining the freshly pressed suit red with juice, yet still insists on leaning close to his ear to ask if they're sweet.

When Huo Mingzheng pins him to the sandalwood table to teach him a lesson, his eyes are red-rimmed, but he still smiles:

"Your heart is beating so fast."

"If you had just run five kilometers, your heart would be beating fast too."

Huo Mingzheng's expression is calm as he admits it frankly:

"Also, you don't need to hook your leg around my calf. I'm asexual."

The little fox is playful and fickle. Huo Mingzheng keeps reminding himself not to fall for him.

But Huo Mingzheng also thinks that maybe there's no one in the world who could resist falling for Lin Zhao when he's going all out.

After fooling around for a while, Huo Mingzheng thinks he probably isn't asexual after all. Maybe he's got a sex drive.

He thinks he should rein himself in a little, so his partner won't have to suffer because of his condition.

After all, although Lin Zhao looks beautiful when he cries every night, he also looks pitiful.

But while Huo Mingzheng is reflecting, Lin Zhao has already left after saying, "We're both adults," and walking away without a backward glance.

Well, now there's no need to hold back.

[Bonus Scene]

One day, the junior goes with Lin Zhao to a competition in neighboring City A.

The night before the competition, the junior enthusiastically invites Lin Zhao to stay at his family villa.

Late at night, the junior sneaks into the guest room where Lin Zhao is staying. When he reaches the bed, he comes face-to-face with his own smirking sugar daddy.

His sugar daddy is getting on in years, yet shamelessly rests his head on the pretty senior's lap and smugly raises an eyebrow at the junior.

Heartbroken and outraged, the junior looks at the pretty senior's face and gentle smile and says mournfully:

"I could be the younger one, you know."

Reading Guide:

1. An older house catching fire romance. The junior is not the gong's biological son.

2. A sweet romance between two men. The shou isn't sexually inexperienced. An older gong who takes charge and a pretty, naturally spoiled flirtatious shou. The shou is naturally a heartbreaker, with a bit of a playboy streak, but the gong will eventually win him back.

3. The junior is also sweet on the outside but scheming underneath. Love-triangle drama warning. Don't read too much into it.
