Pretty Little Darling, Is He About to Go Bankrupt?

Yan Yiming's company is on the verge of bankruptcy.

The pampered, handsome young master went to great lengths to inherit the company, only for it to be on the verge of collapsing in his hands.

To secure financing, he decides to swallow his pride and beg investors for help at a banquet. Little does he know, someone has had their eye on him for a long time...

After he gets drunk, someone holds him tightly in their arms. A familiar, deep voice murmurs by his ear, "You came right to me yourself. Don't you dare run!"

What a ridiculous accusation! This is completely unfair!

You were the one who made the first move!

Yan Yiming's eyes glisten beneath half-lowered lids, the corners red. "I didn't."

Tears brim in his eyes, threatening to fall. He looks utterly pitiful.

In the eyes of his ex-boyfriend, Gu Chen, the cool and refined Yan Yiming now looks so alluring, as if he were at anyone's mercy.

Just like on countless nights before, his damp eyes always seemed to shimmer with tears.

But Yan Yiming is screaming inside:

No! Didn't we break up?

Why are you holding me!

Yet when he looks up and sees Gu Chen's handsome face, all tense with restraint, his tone changes. "Why are you picking on me again...?"

*

Gu Chen is noble, proud, gentle, and devious, the heir to the enormously wealthy Gu family in the region.

Four years ago, the young master deigned to work for the declining Yan Group, and even gladly looked after the idle young master of the Yan family in his spare time.

After more than half a year of looking after him in every little detail, they finally started dating. Less than two months of bliss later, Yan Yiming dumped him without warning.

Their reunion at the banquet gives Gu Chen another chance to "look after" him.

He tightens his arms around the half-conscious Yan Yiming. "Be good. Don't move!"

Gu Chen offers to keep him as a lover: twenty million for two years.

A flicker of resentment passes through Yan Yiming's bright, dark eyes. "Are you taking advantage of me, too?"

Yan Yiming agonizes over it for two days, then reluctantly accepts for the money.

He reluctantly moves into Gu Chen's home, reluctantly agrees to their "arrangement," reluctantly accepts the bracelet Gu Chen's mother gives him as a future daughter-in-law, and reluctantly lets Gu Chen have his way with him, resisting only halfheartedly...

Arrogant, adorable homemaker bottom vs traditional daddy top captivated by a pretty boy

Lu Xuan was promised to Liang Zhengze as his wife when he was only twenty.

Ever since he married into the Liang family, the already spoiled Lu Xuan became even more insufferably self-important.

He earned such affectionate titles as "little drama queen" and "pretty little good-for-nothing who only knows how to spend her husband's money."

He was so spoiled that even the Liang family's cats and dogs had to be his personal servants.

The day he learned he was the fake young master of the Lu family, it felt as though the sky had fallen!

With the wedding approaching, he overheard his parents discussing the marriage with Liang Zhengze. They wanted the real young master to marry into the family...

On his way home after trying on his wedding suit, Lu Xuan had an accident and never woke up again.

When Lu Xuan opened his eyes once more, he was back a year earlier,

right around the time he and Liang Zhengze had just gotten engaged.

Lu Xuan turned and saw the familiar, towering figure in the doorway. His calves trembled instinctively.

Thinking of how everything he'd fought for in his previous life had been false, he stiffened his neck and shouted, "Let's call off the engagement. I'm not marrying you!"

*

Liang Zhengze is a 193-centimeter-tall scion of an elite family and the current CEO of the Liang Group.

A month ago, he was in a car accident. When he woke up, he heard that he had a young and beautiful fiance.

Liang Zhengze thought scornfully: What era is this? They're still arranging marriages?

When he got home and opened the door, he saw a beautiful young man on the bed, crying until his eyes were red and his whole body was shaking.

He watched coldly and said in a flat voice, "The Lu family begged for this marriage. Young Master Lu, what kind of act are you putting on?"

"I've changed my mind. I don't want to marry you anymore," Lu Xuan said, pouting.

"Too late," Liang Zhengze replied coldly.

*

His young, fresh-faced, beautiful fiance is always underfoot, and his personality grows sweeter and more adorable by the day.

At night, he even curls up in Liang Zhengze's arms and says softly, "Hubby, don't leave me..."

The night before Lu Xuan plans to run away, Liang Zhengze regains all his memories.

The skittish Lu Xuan turns around in alarm. Hadn't he gotten Liang Zhengze drunk?

He grips the doorframe guiltily and says, "Hubby, why are you awake?"

Wait! Why is Liang Zhengze holding the little bundle Lu Xuan packed for his escape?

Lu Xuan's behavior brings out Liang Zhengze's darker side. If the gentle approach won't work, he'll have to use force.

Liang Zhengze tosses him onto the bed and exhaustively puts all his old tricks to use.

In a low voice, he asks the person in his arms over and over:

"Am I really that bad to you? You ran away in both your lives."

"Weren't you cuddling up to me last night, whining, 'Hubby, don't leave me'?"

"Baby, if you get pregnant, will you still run away?"

Lu Xuan, bouncing until his eyes are teary and unable to get a word out: "..."

*

Lu Xuan, usually so used to throwing his weight around, suddenly becomes exceptionally low-key.

Everyone speculates that the real young master must be back, leaving no place for Lu Xuan in the Lu family, and that his marriage to the Liang family is probably about to fall through. Rumors of a broken engagement run rampant.

Five months later.

"Hubby, my belly's starting to show. Can I cover it with your shirt?"

"Hubby, can I lick the ice cream off the corner of your mouth?"

"Hubby! You can't..."
