Little dummy x ice prince | Healing | Millennium | Age gap
Slow-witted, handsome, manly gong x domineering CEO ice prince shou
There was a village guardian in Qin Family Village.
He was slow-witted. They said a high fever had left him stupid when he was five.
He grew up with his older sister.
Later, his sister married someone from the same village, leaving Qin Yi all alone.
He was tall and long-legged, with ragged clothes. Even in winter, he couldn’t bear to wear his only two shabby padded jackets, and dared wear nothing but a thin shirt.
He was covered in yellow mud all day, filthy from head to toe.
It wasn’t that he wanted to be. His sister insisted he smear yellow mud on his face, neck, and hands every day.
If he didn’t, she would scold him.
Qin Yi was slow to react, but he was hardworking and kindhearted, so some villagers liked him.
Others took advantage of him for being stupid and tricked him into working for them.
A hot spring was discovered in Qin Family Village.
A hot spring resort project was launched there.
Qin Yi had no income in the village.
His sister worked hard to earn money elsewhere.
Qin Yi heard that the hot spring project was hiring, and that the boss was a man named Yu Jinshang.
He always had a cold expression, and Qin Yi was a little afraid of him. But he wanted his sister to have an easier life.
So he eagerly helped Yu Jinshang with his work. He might have been slow to react, but he wasn’t stupid. He always showed up when he was needed and never caused trouble.
At first, Yu Jinshang ignored him.
Later, Yu Jinshang started talking to him. He also stopped him from doing heavy work and gave him an easy job keeping track of records.
Until one day.
The project team was getting ready to leave.
Yu Jinshang was leaving, too.
Qin Yi happily gave him a little dog he had carved himself, wishing him a happy life.
But Yu Jinshang pushed him into the car and locked him inside, refusing to let him out.
Yu Jinshang said, “Your sister doesn’t want you anymore. She sold you to me. I’ll take you home. You don’t have to stay here anymore, okay?”
Yu Jinshang, CEO of the company that won the bid, led his team to Qin Family Village to conduct an on-site assessment.
Yu Jinshang was cold and stern, and never went back on his word.
He was indifferent to anything or anyone outside the project.
There was only one exception: a little dummy named Qin Yi.
He was twenty, filthy, and slow to react, but he was a decent worker.
He always liked to follow Yu Jinshang around.
At first, Yu Jinshang found him annoying.
Qin Yi would talk.
Yu Jinshang wouldn’t answer.
Gradually, Qin Yi would talk.
Yu Jinshang would happily reply a few words.
Later, Yu Jinshang would insist that Qin Yi talk to him.
