Bonus Ko-fi update
Jian Suiying had a relatively lazy time. He took a day off from his two-day shift and did almost nothing at Xiao Zhu’s place except to eat, drink, and play games. Xiao Zhu’s school had already closed, so he was also a person who could stay at home. Apart from buying vegetables and food, he stayed at home with Jian Suiying.
Everyone in the company now knows about the change of authority, and Jian Suiying has also made personnel arrangements. Many people have expressed their willingness to go with him, and of course, he felt very happy about this, but he had no specific plans yet. He planned to take a long leave after handling the matter and wait until the end of the New Year to plan ahead.
He learned from Secretary Liang that Li Yu had been discharged from the hospital and that Jian Suilin personally went to pick him up. It was also mentioned that the two men were now locked in a fierce battle.
Li Yu was also quite unlucky. He’d been in the hospital three times ever since they met, and he was sure that Li Yu was also struggling to compete against Jian Suilin. Jian Suiying felt very happy at the thought of the unfortunate circumstances of those two bastards. However, he still feels that he was sort of cheating here. Perhaps because he’d been trapped by them too many times, and there was nothing left for him to hide anymore. What were these two up to now… he felt that there was a conspiracy going on.
He felt that as long as he let go, the two bastards won’t be able to hinder him. As long as he could do so, there’d be f*cking wide seas and skies for him.
On the 15th day after his phone conversation with Jian Suilin, Jian Suilin called him back and said that the funds were ready and the contract could be signed at any time.
Jian Suiying simply asked him to come to the company that afternoon.
When the two met in Jian Suiying’s office, their lawyers and subordinates were also present, preventing them from meeting alone.
Jian Suiying sat firmly in the boss’s swivel chair. After coming in, Jian Suilin didn’t let the other person sit down first. He just crossed his legs and put out his hand. “Let me have a look.
Jian Suilin’s assistant took out the contract from his bag and tried to pass it on, but Jian Suilin grabbed the assistant’s arm and slowly took the contract from their hand. He walked over by himself, standing at Jian Suiying’s desk just like he was reporting work, silently looking at Jian Suiying, then handed the contract to him.
Jian Suiying took it, skimmed t it from beginning to end, then handed the contract to his lawyer. After reading it, the lawyer returned it and nodded at him. Jian Suiying patted the contract on the table, picked up a pen, signed it, and then looked up at Secretary Liang, “You go to the bank with their people now. The bank still has hours to work on it and get things done.'”
Secretary Liang nodded and walked out with Jian Suilin’s employees.
After Jian Suiying finished signing, he threw his pen and said, “The office will be cleaned out for you tomorrow. You can leave now.”
The faces of both of the remaining employees with Jian Suilin were somewhat awkward. Jian Suilin’s expression was natural and uncomfortable. On the contrary, ever since he came in, his brother has not even looked him directly in the eye.
Jian Suilin winked at the two, and they turned around and left. Jian Suiying’s lawyer knew the relationship between the two brothers, and upon a glance, he was unwilling to interfere with their domestic affairs, so he followed them out.
The two brothers of the Jian family were soon left alone in the office.
Jian Suiying glanced at him at the end of his eye.

“We already moved out.” Jian Suilin whispered.
“Alright, I’ll go back and check it out when I’m free. By the way, I’ll change the decor that woman did.”
Jian Suilin pondered for a moment and slowly said, “Ge, I know you hate me, but I…”
“Hate you?” Jian Suiying chuckled, “You really look up to yourself.”
Jian Suilin’s face instantly paled.
Jian Suiying picked up his office phone and said, “Tell Chen-jie to bring up some boxes, the two of you will clean up the office for me.”
Jian Suilin said, “Ge, let me help you clean up.”
Jian Suiying spared him a glance, “Do you still need to be so fake? What’s the picture you’re trying to paint this time?”
Jian Suilin was dumbfounded. Perhaps because trying to please Jian Suiying had still become a habit, even if he knew that it was useless, even if he had gone against him, he still couldn’t help but want to do something for Jian Suiying, anything.
Jian Suiying gave him a look of disdain, “I already know that you’ve just been pretending to be submissive now. Are you addicted to the feeling that you can’t stop? Now that you’re the big boss, you’re still pretending to be a piece of sh*t!”
Jian Suilin smiled bitterly, “No, I can’t.”
Jian Suiying pointed to the door, “Leave now. I hope I don’t ever have to see you mother and son, who take other people’s things, ever again, and that you feel miserable in your lifetime.'”
Jian Suilin’s body trembled and a strange smile appeared on his face. “Ge, you’ve never once looked at me in this lifetime, have you? No matter what I do, no matter where I go.”
Jian Suiying sneered and didn’t even bother to answer him.
Jian Suilin continued to ask, “What about Li Yu? What is Li Yu to you? Why do you look up to him so much, why do you like him? What’s he really even good at?”
Jian Suiying picked up a hardcover book weighing around 3 jin and threw it at Jian Suilin. “Cut your bullsh* already! Get out!”
Jian Suilin gave him a stern look and turned away.
Jian Suiying slowly sat back in his chair and observed the familiar office he had been working in for the past several years. The thought of officially changing ownership of the company tomorrow made him feel like he was separating from the world.
After a while, Chen-jie, the cleaner in the company, and two young employees came in and began to pack things up for Jian Suiying. After they finished cleaning up for a little over an hour, the two employees left, leaving Chen-jie to clean the rest up.
Jian Suiying was holding a velvet box in his hand, and he’d been staring at it dazedly ever since he had taken it out of the drawer. If he hadn’t seen it again, he would’ve forgotten that there was still something in his desk that could prove how stupid he used to be.
He slowly opened the box’s lid, and there still lay the two men’s diamond rings inside. The diamonds reflected a wonderful glow in the daylight. Jian Suiying felt that his own heart was like the light that had been scattered into countless parts by the diamonds, and he no longer knew where it went or what it looked like.
He closed the lid of the box with a snap, then he looked up and called, “Chen-jie.”
Chen-jie, who was cleaning up the garbage, looked up, “Yes, boss.”
Jian Suiying threw the small box into her arms. “Tell the driver to take the boxes to my house. And here, take this one and sell it.” Without looking back, he walked out of the office.
The elevator Jian Suiying was riding on stopped steadily on the first floor. With a sharp *ding* the elevator door slowly opened, and Li Yu’s fair and handsome face suddenly appeared in front of him.
Jian Suiying was unprepared for his sudden appearance, and the usual indifference on Li Yu’s face was apparent. The scene seemed to change in an instant. It was like he was back that one summer day. In the living room of Jian Suiying’s home, he turned his head and locked eyes with Li Yu. Jian Suiying seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat from a time that had already passed.
Thump, thump, his heartbeat suddenly drummed.
Now, it was a similar moment from then, with four eyes reaching to one another as if they had a telepathic connection. At the same time, all his heart could feel was an indescribable pain.
Jian Suiying forced himself to maintain his cool, raised his chin, and walked out of the elevator, past Li Yu.
Li Yu closed his eyes as he brushed past. When the sound of footsteps faded away, Li Yu opened his eyes, pain and determination in them. He stepped into the elevator and looked for Jian Suilin.
When Li Yu left the office, it was already dark and there were already a few people in the company left. He was thinking of his own affairs in his mind, so when he was walking around the corner, he suddenly bumped into a person.
“Ouch.”
Li Yu woke from his stupor and saw Chen-jie, who was responsible for cleaning the company, holding the wall.
“Chen-jie, I’m very sorry,” Li Yu said, then tried to walk around her to leave.
“Hey, Xiao Li, Xiao Li.”
Chen-jie stopped Li Yu and walked to his front with a sense of urgency.
Li Yu asked, “What’s the matter?”
Chen-jie looked around and felt embarrassed as she said, “Can you contact the boss? I have an urgent matter to discuss with him.”
“What’s the matter? You can tell me about it.”
Chen-jie thought for a moment and took out a box from her pocket, which looked like a ring box. She said, “I don’t know what happened with the boss today, but he threw this to me and left. I opened it and, alas, it was so expensive. How dare I take it? I earn enough for my life. I dare not ask for something like this. Please help me give it back to the boss. I’ve been restless because of this all afternoon…”
As Chen-jie was still muttering to herself, Li Yu had already taken the box and gently opened it. When he saw two identical men’s diamond rings, he seemed to have been electrified and given a hard hit.
Even in the dim yellow light, his eyes still noticed that the initials of their names were engraved on the inner side of the rings, and he picked up one of them with trembling fingers.
He realized that from the force of lifting the ring from the felt, there was a small note hidden under the felt. His heart beating violently, he unfolded the note and saw the short line of words on it.
“To my beloved baobei-er, Xiao Yu Yu, Ge will love you dearly in the future —your Jian-ge.”
Li Yu only felt severe pain in his heart, which began to tug at his internal organs as they were about to tear him in half, and he was almost unable to straighten himself up.
Slowly and weakly, he slid against the wall and fell to the ground, burying his face in his chest.
Chen-jie grew frightened and repeatedly asked, “Xiao Li, what’s wrong? What happened? What’s the matter?”
Li Yu reluctantly waved his hand and said, “Please leave me alone… you go… leave me alone…”
He remembered Jian Suiying’s face as he scoffed his name with a mischievous smile and called him “Xiao Yu Yu”. He remembered Jian Suiying coming muddy and dirty from the storm, wrapping a warm blanket around him. He remembered Jian Suiying’s face as he said to him with an annoyed look, “Sooner or later, I’ll get back at you and top you,” but repeatedly compromised with him. He thought about Jian Suiying’s terrible behavior, Jian Suiying’s good behavior, Jian Suiying’s fascinating charm, and his behavior that made people gnash their teeth in anger. Jian Suiying was the most independent, ambitious, daring, hateful, and confusing man he has ever met in his life, and the last thing he should suspect is if this man really liked him.
But what did he do?
Li Yu couldn’t tell what he was anymore. In the days without Jian Suiying, wherever he went, he was like a walking corpse. He has already been completely transformed into this because of Jian Suiying. It’s laughable that he even doubted himself on how much he really liked Jian Sui Ying.
TL Note:
Thank you to anon for the ko-fi!
Those rings give me so much tears and feelings. Jian Suiying’s note inside the ring box is one of my favorite lines in the story, and I can only hope I did it some justice with how I translated it.
Also a heads up: there will be non-con incest in the next 2 parts of chapter 18. I’m warning everyone reading this so you’d be prepared at least. Things will once again go through a (very) rough patch before the eventual resolution.
Thanks very much for the chapter… I am really touched by the rings, the note and Li Yu’s reaction… the true is Jian Suiying are not a good person but he tried to do the right things in business and with the person he loved and Li Yu’s betrayal is a really low blow.
How can Li Yu fix this?
I cried while I was reading this chapter 😭 I feel so bad for Jian Suiying
He’s not a good person but we still can see the good sides of him
Li Yu~~~ you better fix it 😤
Btw, thanks for the translation 🙏🏻
I genuinely hope LY suffers.
I’m crying, jian he loves him so much and li yu keep breaking his heart 😭
hold on guys, there is turbulence up ahead!
Omg ty I needed this laugh 😭
I really shouldn’t have read this story when I’m at my lowest. Even though I finished reading the chapter 10 minutes ago, I’m still crying. :/ Normally, it’s hard for me to tear up. Let alone cry like this because of a story.
I’m tearing up while reading these 2 chapters ToT
I specially logged in to leave this comment.. the scene of rings had me crying .. my pillows are showered with my tears. I wish I could beat ly hell out of him
