A Straight Guy Who Hates the Rich Could Never Become a Pretty Wife!

■ Beautiful, working-class, straight male protagonist who resents the rich x mixed-race, gloomy, filthy-rich husband material

Zhou Zhou was clever. Even though his family was dirt poor, he still got into the nation's top university.

Poor in means but rich in ambition, he worked himself to the bone to save up for a bride price, dreaming of marrying a rich, beautiful woman and settling down with a wife, kids, and a warm home.

But one one-night stand ruined his dream of starting a family.

In everyone else's eyes, Hughes came from a powerful family and was cold-hearted, a well-known capitalist tycoon in B City. But after their one-night stand, Zhou Zhou learned that he was a scheming bastard.

Not only did he covet Zhou Zhou's young, vibrant body, he knew Zhou Zhou was completely straight and still tried to turn him gay, dooming his family line to die out.

Zhou Zhou trembled with rage. This was absolutely the most sinister capitalist trap of the century.

But the capitalist's tactics were terrifyingly effective.

The bastard was tender and affectionate, taking care of him in every way. He replaced the sheets on Zhou Zhou's cheap metal bed with silk ones, upgraded his shared meals to three-star Michelin food, and swapped out his peeling, group-buy sneakers for top-of-the-line custom shoes...

He was generous with money, and even took care of little things like putting on Zhou Zhou's socks.

After thinking it over, Zhou Zhou decided that turning down a good deal would make him a fool.

He'd save the money this bastard gave him for keeping him as a mistress and use it as the bride price for his future wife.

Hughes was a true mixed-race, filthy-rich heir. The only obstacle in his life was Zhou Zhou, the ungrateful little brat.

He gave him money, love, and companionship, all while trying not to reveal his twisted kinks. In return, Zhou Zhou treated his money like an affair fund, planning to use it as a bride price for somebody else.

And he called Hughes's courtship keeping him?

Hughes's temper finally snapped. He decided to indulge his nastier kinks with the ungrateful brat.

Afterward, the pretty fool nestled against his neck was still busy sobbing and complaining, showing no signs of remorse.

“I was straight to begin with, wuu! You gave me all that money out of nowhere, and people online said I was your kept man. You never explained what was going on, and now you're blaming me. Besides, my family is traditional. We want three kids. If you, a foreigner, marry into my family, you don't get to pay a bride price. That's the rule our ancestors left us! You can beat me to death and it still won't change anything!”

Zhou Zhou clutched his butt and sobbed hysterically. His fair, delicate cheeks were wet with tears, giving him a pitiful, kitten-like look.

Hughes looked him up and down, but couldn't see a trace of heterosexuality in this guy who'd just come so hard he was practically a little fountain.

He grabbed the slender, pale leg beneath him and hooked it around his waist, then sneered, “Didn't you say we were having three? Let's get started and have the first one.”

Lanno was an illiterate little Shuo Hua. He followed his parents to the capital to find work.

His mother patted the little spore cap on his head and reminded him, “Nono, we have to study hard and learn to be city people!”

Lanno nodded earnestly, his chubby little face tilted up. Got it, learn to be human!

Soon, he found the best person to learn from at kindergarten: the class monitor, Huo Jiyun.

Lanno diligently followed him around every day, and before long he could speak Mandarin, use the fancy toilet, play games, and write pinyin. He even got a little red flower from the teacher! Three of them!

He proudly stuck the flowers on his face. His learning buddy was kind of mean, but clearly learning from him was the right choice!

Lanno was sure he would soon become a sophisticated city person!

Huo Jiyun was a notorious little brat. Recently, he'd noticed that there was a copycat in his class.

Not only did the kid imitate his soft, dragging way of speaking every day, he even copied his special class-monitor line, “Everyone, stand up!”

When the kids lined up to use the toilet, he had to stand behind Huo Jiyun. At mealtimes, he had to sit beside him. It was as if he couldn't do anything without copying him!

The worst part was that he even copied Huo Jiyun's amazing red-and-green sock combination, getting him laughed at by the other kids.

“Bad copycat!” Huo Jiyun shouted furiously.

Then the teacher explained that Lanno belonged to an ethnic minority and couldn't understand Mandarin. As class monitor, Huo Jiyun felt it was his duty to look after the other children, including this little copycat.

He said awkwardly, “Fine. From now on, this young master will protect you.”

Lanno tilted his little head and repeated the words exactly, one by one: “From now on, this young master will pwotect you!”

Huo Jiyun gave a smug little snort. He knew his little shadow couldn't live without him. Lanno couldn't even speak properly yet, but Huo Jiyun was sure he could raise him just fine!

Later, the teacher asked their parents to come in. Lanno's parents saw their little darling holding hands with their boss's bratty son.

Lanno's eyes sparkled as he excitedly announced, “Mom, Dad, this is my wife! I've already become a city person!”

His parents: Huh?

Everyone knows Lanno has a “wife” who raised him from childhood and treats him like an emperor.

Lanno thinks they've got it wrong. He and Jiyun are just really good friends, that's all.

Huo Jiyun laughed in disbelief. “You think we're friends?”

That night.

“Baby, why did you stop copying me? Didn't you used to love imitating the way I talk?” Huo Jiyun chuckled, breathing heavily as he gave the round little butt under his hand a slap.

Huo Jiyun held Lanno's earlobe in his mouth and coaxed him softly, “Baby, you're so bad. You don't copy me when we're kissing? Didn't you used to love copying me?”

He was on the verge of tears. If he'd known becoming a city person meant a sore butt, he'd rather have stayed a free little wildling, wuu...
