An hour later, Ye Ming was standing downstairs in front of a five-star hotel.

【Ye Ming: Excellent, how very direct of him. He actually went straight to booking a hotel room for our appointment. Does this mean he’s planning on doing shameful things with me? Shy.jpg】

Chrysanthemum Garden.

【888: …】

【Ye Ming: This won’t do, I’m getting a little too excited…】 RLhTkX

Ye Ming went inside the elevator, pressed on the button for his floor, then checked his phone. He walked up to the door plated with the room number Shen Ye had given him, then knocked on it.

No response came from inside. He hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the door had been left unlocked, he finally gritted his teeth, then pushed the door open and walked in. The suite had thick, plush carpeting, and almost no sounds were made when he walked over it.

Ye Ming went through the entryway, then saw Shen Ye sitting there at his living room bar, holding onto a glass of red wine, gently swirling it around. The muted, dim lighting illuminated his face, slightly softening his sharp features, while there was an obscure, gloomy look in his dark eyes.

He turned to Ye Ming and smiled, “You’ve arrived. Right on time.”

Ye Ming’s lips were pressed together tightly, fury brewing in his eyes. He’d figured that Shen Ye might try something, but him making a move on Zhou Jiaping was beyond his expectations. They’d already broken up, yet Shen Ye still wouldn’t even let his ex-boyfriend off!

Because he’d come all the way here in a fit of ill temper, Ye Ming’s voice came out a little cold, “I’m here. Does that mean you can put and end to all of this now.”

Shen Ye looked at him, a smile flickering on his face. He suddenly put down his wine glass, then got up and walked towards Ye Ming, peering down into his eyes. There was a lilt to his voice, the dulcet tones soothing like a cello, “Since you care this much about him, why break up with him?”

Ye Ming stood frozen to the spot. He’d originally thought that Shen Ye would take advantage of this opportunity to threaten him, but he was unexpectedly being so forthright instead. Did he not actually want him all that much then? And… perhaps what had caught his attention was how similar he looked when compared to his previous self. Maybe he’d thought too much…

“Okay.” Ye Ming’s expression finally eased a little, and he announced, “Then, I’ll be leaving now.”

Shen Ye softly sighed, “You’re already here, so why don’t you stay for a while before you leave?” 3v8Pjt

Ye Ming declared, “There’s nothing for us to talk about.”

“Is that so…” Shen Ye lowered his gaze, appearing to be contemplating something. He then focused his gaze on Ye Ming’s back, and finally began commenting at a leisurely pace, “I think there are still many good topics for us to discuss. Your family is in County N, City X. Your father can’t work because of his disability. Your mother works to earn money and support the entire family by herself. You also have two younger siblings who are still in school… no wonder you’re so anxious to find a job while still working part-time over there concomitantly. I understand just how difficult things are for you. In fact, you can improve the conditions in your home without working hard at all. Why don’t you consider it? Oftentimes, making a hasty decision doesn’t necessarily mean it’s correct.”

Ye Ming abruptly flipped around, a furious glint in his eyes, “You’re. Investigating. Me?”

The corners of Shen Ye’s lips turned up, “I just want to help you.” 78saTe

Bullsh*t! Ye Ming very nearly let these two words slip out. His eyes were colored with outrage and disappointment. He’d genuinely believed that Shen Ye was going to let him go. It turned out this was what he really had planned for him… Zhou Jiaping wasn’t his goal at all. His family was the true final chip Shen Ye had in mind to threaten him with!

He wanted to make him understand just how easily he could invade his life and destroy everything… because, for Tao Xu, his family had long been dangling off a precarious edge, and wouldn’t be able to bear the brunt of even a single blow.

He’d been reborn inside Tao Xu’s body, and was living on in his stead. How could he allow his family to get hurt because of him? How would he be able to keep his conscience clean, then?!

Ye Ming felt a pang of sorrow. The face of the man in front of him had taken on a forbidding look, the ghost of a smile hanging on his lips. He was actually capable of doing something like this with such levity, making it impossible for him to refuse… Ye Ming’s chest heaved, and he raised a hand to hit Shen Ye in the face! yE 1JC

But, in the next moment, his wrist was firmly grasped by Shen Ye, followed by him being spun around, his back hitting the wall as Shen Ye forced him against it! Shen Ye’s tall body towered over him, a vaguely dangerous look in his eyes as he sternly berated him, “Is this how you repay someone’s goodwill? Don’t challenge my patience.”

He was merely a plaything for him to pass the time with. He was willing to make some allowances for him when he was in a good mood, but Shen Ye would never allow him to display this kind of insolence. He needed to have a clear understanding of his own identity!

Ye Ming’s face paled with anger.

Shen Ye lowered his head, moving close to his ear, his deep voice somber, “It seems as though you haven’t quite figured out the situation yet. I am willing to help you. With me, you’ll be able to live a good life, and the problems in your family will all disappear… but, even if you’re unwilling, I presume you must not want your life to become even worse, right?” hlKxcG

As Ye Ming listened to Shen Ye’s words, his heart was flooded with hopeless grief and indignation in an instant.

When he’d come back to life, his only obsessions were his revenge and staying away from Shen Ye… staying away from the person he loved the most and had hurt the most deeply, planning on having nothing to do with him anymore. That way, whether he was successful or died again, it would have nothing to do with Shen Ye… they should’ve never met each other or fallen in love. And he didn’t want to make the same mistakes again this time around.

But fate had other plans, entangling them together once more…

How ridiculous, ah. His current self was unable to go against Shen Ye, and had no opportunity to approach Shen Dayao. As for taking his revenge? He couldn’t even protect the people around him! d6oVbO

Ye Ming shut his eyes, concealing his look of agony. He could feel Shen Ye’s breaths on his neck, his aggressive energy enveloping him. There was no doubt— he wanted him.

“You really… want to ‘help’ me?” Ye Ming finally spoke, a self-deprecating smile at the corners of his lips.

Shen Ye stared at Ye Ming’s lips, looking at this face close within reach. Inside his heart, a covetous desire had been stirred up into a frenzy. It was like… having that person again. And this time, there was no way ‘he’ could escape from him ever again!

“I don’t kid around,” Shen Ye proclaimed. 4CIkm3

Ye Ming’s gaze was dyed with something complex and profound. He was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled, “I agree.”

When Shen Ye heard these words, the corners of his mouth tugged upwards.

Ye Ming then added, “But, I don’t like empty promises. If you want me to go with you, you have to at least bring out some incentives first. Besides, didn’t you say you wanted to help me…” His expression was unflustered as he clearly dictated each and every term, “Then, settle Zhou Jiaping’s issues, pay me a sum of money, and lastly… I want to work at your company headquarters. Can you promise me these things?”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but laugh. The furious young man who’d practically seemed ready to kill him just now had turned calm and rational in the blink of an eye, negotiating terms with him to maximize his own interests, level-headed beyond his imagination… if he hadn’t been so certain that Ye Ming’s previous reaction hadn’t been faked, he would’ve thought that this was a game of cat and mouse. Ph9iJd

This person always managed to give him such pleasant surprises.

But, even if it really was something contrived, what of it? He liked practical people who were obedient and sensible. As long as he knew his limits, he didn’t mind fulfilling some of his small requests.

“You’re not asking for too much. I can promise you these things,” Shen Ye smirked.

Ye Ming subtly clenched his fists. If he was doomed to be unable to rid himself of Shen Ye closing in on him step by step, then he might as well just focus on getting as much out of it as he possibly could. With money, he could help improve Tao Xu’s family situation, and Zhou Jiaping wouldn’t be dragged into this mess anymore. And finally… if he went to their headquarters, he might even be able to meet Shen Dayao. cFf0rI

He only needed to sacrifice his body and some dignity in order to obtain all of these things. It didn’t seem to be that much of a loss for him anyway.

Cold hatred flashed in Ye Ming’s eyes. He lifted his gaze, “Then I’ll be leaving first today.”

But Shen Ye didn’t loosen his grip, leaning closer to Ye Ming instead, his lips almost touching Ye Ming’s, a teasing gleam in his eyes, “I agreed to all of your requests, so I’ll charge you a deposit first. That won’t be a problem for you ba?”

Ye Ming’s composure finally showed signs of cracking. His jaw had tightened, and his body was stiff, but in the end, he still spat out a single word, “Okay.” JwTUNM

Shen Ye’s fingers brushed across Ye Ming’s cheek, eventually resting on his neck. He gently shifted the collar of his shirt. The fair-skinned young man had a delicate, slender neck, his veins just faintly visible underneath his almost translucent skin. Shen Ye heavily pressed down on Ye Ming’s shoulder with one hand, suddenly bowing his head to kiss Ye Ming on the neck.

His gaze was filled with obsession and longing!

The translator has something to say: this Shen Ye is actually rather astute, accidentally stumbling upon the truth like that… game of cat and mouse, starring Ye Ming-gege as the ever indolent, crafty cat

still working on chappies, will be releasing as they’re complete. finally have a day off, so making the most of it~ lvCNTD
