After I Offended My Fiancé's Older Brother

Shen Sui was foisted on the Lu family by his uncle.

His parents died young, and he'd spent over a decade living under someone else's roof. His uncle considered him a burden. When he heard that the Lu family wanted to find their second son a gentle, obedient fiancée, he packed Shen Sui up and sent him over without a second thought.

The Lu family's second young master was a notorious playboy. The day after getting engaged, he flew to Paris to fool around with male models.

Shen Sui was left alone in the old family home. The Lu elders thought he was useless and couldn't even keep a man under control, making snide remarks in front of him at meals. The servants gossiped behind his back, saying he was nothing but a decoration and would be thrown out sooner or later.

With no way forward, he had no choice but to turn his attention to his fiancé's older brother.

Lu Yanzhou.

The true head of the Lu family. He had the final say and was cold and ruthless.

Shen Sui schemed every which way.

He was turned away when he brought soup, ignored when he engineered chance encounters, and even pretended to twist his ankle in the hallway. The man didn't so much as glance at him.

He wanted protection, but couldn't even get close.

Until one day, after accidentally being drugged, he ended up in bed with Lu Yanzhou.

The man was even rougher than he'd imagined. After a night of passion, Shen Sui was so worn out he felt like his body had fallen apart. When he woke, his waist ached so badly he could barely sit up. He looked down and saw marks all over himself, unable to hide his embarrassment.

Before the man woke, he hastily threw on some clothes and limped away.

He didn't dare look back.

In Lu Yanzhou's eyes, Shen Sui was a timid, greedy little fool.

He wanted to get something out of him but wasn't willing to give anything in return. He was timid and meek, like a little bird drenched by the rain.

But after that unexpected night together, he was the first to fall.

He found himself distracted during meetings, tossing and turning late at night, unable to let this relationship go.

After several sleepless nights, Lu Yanzhou finally made up his mind.

He wasn't going to hold back anymore.

Since he'd already touched Shen Sui, he might as well take him for himself. By force or by any means necessary, he didn't care.

He was determined to have him.

Half a year later, the Lu family's second young master had had his fill of Paris.

After all the drinking and partying, he suddenly felt empty. He remembered he still had a sweet, petite wife at home who adored him, so he eagerly booked a flight back to China, hoping to have some fun with the poor thing.

But he froze the moment he walked through the door.

The timid, quiet beauty he'd remembered, who spoke so softly, was sitting on a garden swing, smiling at his older brother with sparkling, crescent-shaped eyes.

They were sitting close together, and he had no idea what they were talking about. Shen Sui's eyes shone like a little cat that had successfully stolen a treat.

Enraged, he was about to explode on the spot.

Then he saw Lu Yanzhou, usually so lofty and untouchable, lower his head, grip Shen Sui's chin, and rub his lips against Shen Sui's in an intimate caress.

"Baby, I can't hold back anymore. Break up with him."
