【Ye Ming: I think my blissful life is about to begin!】

【888: …oh, indifferent.jpg】

【Ye Ming: By the way, how’s Zhou Jiaping doing now?】

【888: Fantastic.】 kE1oJi

【Ye Ming: What about my family? Now that they have some money, they should be doing okay, ba? Hahahaha, I look just like the type of person who can make a lot of money ma!】

【888: …】 No, he didn’t want to talk to this spicy chicken anymore.

Ye Ming had a good night’s sleep, brimming with wonderful dreams for the future.

When he arrived at the company the next day, it was apparent that things had changed.

hFGQd5

The older men who used to be rude to Ye Ming were now much more polite, and told him good morning. Not only that, but at work, when another department called with a computer that needed repairs, before Ye Ming could even get up, a person pressed him back down and said, “I’ll do it, I can do it!”

Ye Ming: “… ”

Next, no matter what he did, someone else would snatch up anything hard or tiring. In the past, Ye Ming would have to buy coffee for the others. Now, other people were serving it up to him, so he was no longer too busy to eat at noon.

During their lunch break, someone even asked Ye Ming politely, “Xiao Tao, will you be eating with us?” 6AbGzK

Ye Ming thought for a while, but still declined in the end. He was afraid that the others would be uncomfortable eating with him. It was obvious they were just asking him out of courtesy.

Because of this, he had nothing to do all morning, sitting in front of his computer and minding his own business. If he had a newspaper and drank some tea, he’d practically be like every other civil servant in their 40s or 50s.

Ever since the last time, Shen Ye had lived up to his expectations. During this period of time, he’d remember to call Ye Ming over. Although he didn’t call for him that much, it was still enough to attract everyone’s attention.

Ye Ming lived a relaxed life lazing around the company, doing nothing but fulfilling the special needs of his boss. K6WdQS

Everyone was very cordial to him, but remained a little distant. Even the other department directors didn’t put on any airs when they ran into Ye Ming, instead acting very warm. Although it looked like he was only a plaything Shen Ye was keeping for now, the point was… Shen Ye had only ever kept this one before!

This was the first time they’d ever seen someone who could enter this kind of relationship with Shen Ye. Who was to say what might happen in the future? If by some chance, he was promoted, then wouldn’t they have to fawn over him all the same?

At least before Shen Ye tired of him, they couldn’t get on Ye Ming’s bad side.

Guan Yuyang had a lot on his mind these days. Ye Ming and Han Xu’s similar appearance always reminded him of the Han Xu of the past, putting him in a complicated mood. In fact… at the time, he’d been relatively close to Han Xu. Although Han Xu had deliberately concealed it, he still had a vague idea of Han Xu’s relationship with Shen Ye… gpFdjn

And now that Shen Ye was keeping someone so similar to Han Xu by his side, it seemed to confirm the situation from back then. Shen Ye must have liked Han Xu in the past.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

But the person Shen Ye liked was Han Xu, and not Ye Ming. For Shen Ye, Ye Ming was just a substitute, and… also a substitute for someone he now deeply hated.

Ye Ming smiled, “I’m not hungry.”

Guan Yuyang let out an oh, hesitating for a while, before he finally said, “Xiao Tao… do you like President Shen?”

Ye Ming shifted his gaze. He hadn’t expected Guan Yuyang to ask this so directly. He still nodded after a moment of silence. It was best if other people didn’t find out about him being coerced.

Guan Yuyang sighed, and said in all earnestness, “President Shen is rich and handsome, so many people like him… but, please don’t let yourself get in too deep.” AY4rCs

“Some people look good on the outside, but aren’t necessarily the one meant for you,” Guan Yuyang paused here, “You’re still young, so you should consider the long-term.”

Ye Ming looked at Guan Yuyang fixedly.

Being stared at by Ye Ming made Guan Yuyang a little uncomfortable. He also knew that it was very risky for him to say these things, since he didn’t have a good understanding of Ye Ming’s personality, after all. He was afraid that saying such things out of the blue might not be received too well, and his efforts might even be scorned… but he really couldn’t stand by anymore without doing anything. He was afraid that this young man who resembled Han Xu would be ruined just like that. Shen Ye was too dangerous and not suitable for him.

Just because of his looks, he had no chance with Shen Ye at all. Wkqhx6

“Forget it…” Guan Yuyang shook his head in a self-deprecating manner, “I’m leaving.”

But before he’d even taken two steps, he suddenly heard Ye Ming say, “Thank you.”

Guan Yuyang stopped in place, and turned back to meet Ye Ming’s gaze. A faint glimmer of happiness sparkled in his eyes, gentle and profound, and he seemed to actually be grateful to him.

Ye Ming said, “I’ll think about it.” Sy2JA3

Guan Yuyang scratched his head. Ye Ming had unexpectedly listened to him. Seeing that Ye Ming had reacted like this, he felt even more sorry for him. What a good person ah… but, he just had to run into someone like Shen Ye. He smiled and said, “En.”

Then, he returned to his office.

A smile hung on Ye Ming’s lips, while his gaze had softened. Guan Yuyang was still such a kind-hearted person. While the others were either waiting for Ye Ming to make a fool out of himself, treating him like a freak, keeping their distance, or trying to ingratiate themselves, only Guan Yuyang had taken the risk to tell him his actual thoughts.

Advising him not to sink in too deep. 0IHeNS

【Ye Ming: Xiao Guan is a good kid, and a kind person.】

【888: Then he’d better stay far away from you.】

【Ye Ming: Why???】

【888: You enjoy bullying kind and honest people the most.】 XIspJ6

【Ye Ming: Is that really the kind of person you think I am? QAQ】

【888: Without a doubt.】

【Ye Ming: …】

Ye Ming expressed his indignation over this matter. When did he ever bully honest and kind people? db6Yty

Another day was spent with Ye Ming doing his own thing. Getting a salary after doing nothing at work was really too cool. If he hadn’t been afraid of collapsing his own character settings, he felt that he could totally play some games and surf Taobao during the day to make time pass by even faster!

When it was time for him to get off work, Ye Ming was just about to make his quick escape when he was suddenly summoned by Shen Ye, who wanted him to wait for him so they could leave together at night. Ye Ming had no choice but to stay. After all, he was now under his wing, and had to meet the demands of his Lord Sugar Daddy anytime and anywhere!

【888: Speaking of, are you still planning on taking revenge?】

【Ye Ming: Yes ah, yes ah, of course I’m thinking about it. After all, this is the key to our whitewashing plans this time around! But we’re not in a hurry for the time being. I have to find a way to let Shen Ye discover my identity first. It’s impossible for a mere substitute to eliminate his blackening value.】 7DzEVt

【888: Is that so, he he.】

【Ye Ming: Of course, when has this one not worked hard, aggrieved.jpg】

【888: …】

Ye Ming let out a lazy yawn, then went up to Shen Ye’s office. zEWTvG

Shen Ye had never brought Ye Ming to his home before, nor had he ever been to Ye Ming’s dorm room. Sometimes, he didn’t even bother with reserving a hotel room. Whenever he wanted to, he’d just directly call Ye Ming up to his office and they’d do it in the lounge, since it wasn’t inferior to a five-star hotel anyway.

However, when Ye Ming arrived this time, Shen Ye was still working. He disregarded Ye Ming, and directly asked him to wait on the side.

Ye Ming didn’t speak either. He sat on the side nonchalantly, then after waiting and waiting, he fell asleep on the sofa.

By the time Shen Ye finished his work, it was already eleven o’clock at night. He rolled his shoulders a bit, then turned his head to find that Ye Ming was lying on the sofa and had fallen asleep at some point. YpkSh3

When the young man was asleep, his face looked gentle and peaceful, untouched by worries, rather than being colored with the occasional glints of anger that’d appear in his eyes, as he repressed his feelings to put up an obedient front. He looked innocent and gentle, just like…

Shen Ye had originally wanted to just wake him up, but at this moment, somehow, a part of him was reluctant to do so. This was the first time he’d ever seen Ye Ming asleep.

He bent over slightly, his fingers lightly brushing past Ye Ming’s eyelashes. He then retracted his hand like he’d received an electric shock, a look of yearning and pain intermingling in his gaze. He raised a hand and covered his chest with it. That wound had healed a long time ago, but the pain still had yet to dissipate, as though it’d been engraved into his very being, and would accompany him forever.

Shen Ye’s face was drawn taut. After a long while, he reached out and picked up Ye Ming, his movements done with rare caution. SVATt5

Then, he carried Ye Ming to his car.

Ye Ming had fallen asleep in a daze. The sofa had been too soft and comfortable, and the temperature on the air conditioner had been set just right so he hadn’t been able to prevent himself from falling asleep. When he woke up, he found himself lying in the back seat of a car, on the way back to his dorm room.

Shen Ye hadn’t actually done anything, and hadn’t woken him up, but was sending him straight back like this?

A look of astonishment appeared on Ye Ming’s face, and he sat up. At this moment, Shen Ye had just parked his car in front of his dormitory downstairs. Since it was already late at night, there weren’t many people around anymore, so it was extremely deserted and quiet. liZgBm

There were some clouds in the night sky. The hazy moonlight sprinked down on them, slightly softening the handsome, stern face of the man, and the whole world seemed very peaceful. Ignoring the hatred between them and their current relationship… it’d probably look just like a scene straight out of his dreams ba

A complicated look appeared in Ye Ming’s eyes, and he opened the car door, just about to get off.

Shen Ye suddenly called out to him, “Wait.”

He switched off the engine, pulled out his key, got out, and walked up to Ye Ming, staring down at him with a slightly complicated look. kBPhqY

Ye Ming felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He turned his head to the side, and said, “I’m going to go up.”

It was just clearly just a normal sentence, but Shen Ye suddenly let out a chuckle, and seemed to be in a good mood. He found it all very interesting. At first, he’d only regarded Ye Ming as a pastime, but unknowingly, he’d found himself gradually wanting more.

If it was this ‘Han Xu’, he could let him stay by his side. He’d be able to control everything around him so that he wouldn’t be able to betray him or hurt him.

And this time, he wouldn’t give his heart away. He wouldn’t stupidly place his trust in another person, and there wouldn’t be any talk of love. It was nothing more than an empty and lonely soul trying to seek a bit of comfort. 6CaAzk

And there was nothing wrong with that.

Shen Ye suddenly held Ye Ming by his waist and pulled him into his arms. He grabbed onto Ye Ming’s chin and kissed him, prying open his lips, wantonly plundering everything he wanted from this man.

After a long time, he let out a deep laugh next to Ye Ming’s ear, “I’ll let you go for today.”

Ye Ming was still trying to catch his breath after being kissed, gasping for air a few times, so his voice was hoarse and distant, “The dormitory is about to close. Please head back first ba, President Shen.” P0d5je

A playful look danced in Shen Ye’s eyes, and he held onto Ye Ming’s hand a bit harder. It seems that I’m really unwelcome, ah… but, Shen Ye didn’t plan on pushing him too far all at one time. Although he hated Han Xu, Ye Ming wasn’t Han Xu… he wanted him, but he wouldn’t vent his anger on an irrelevant person.

On the contrary, as long as Ye Ming remained obedient, he could still treat him very well.

A smile flickering in Shen Ye’s eyes, he was just about to let go of his hand… when suddenly, a sharp shout came from the side, making him look back. In his arms, Ye Ming had turned stiff, as the look on his face became ugly in an instant!

Zhou Jiaping had been unable to reach Ye Ming by phone these past few days, and had even been blacklisted in the end. He really had no choice but to wait outside Ye Ming’s dormitory. He’d waited until midnight when the dormitory was about to close, only to see a luxurious, low-profile black car slowly approach. IK1045

Zhou Jiaping had never thought that Ye Ming would be inside that car at first, so he hadn’t minded it too much. But to his shock, the car door had opened… and getting off was the person he hadn’t been able to contact at all the last few days as though he’d gone missing, Ye Ming!

And the one who’d come out afterwards was actually the man he’d met last time.

The man hugged Ye Ming’s waist affectionately, and kissed Ye Ming, but Ye Ming hadn’t even resisted in the slightest! The two of them hugged, kissed, and whispered to each other, the entire intimate and beautiful scene occurring under the moonlight… Zhou Jiaping watched on as his eyes turned red!

He’d been incredibly miserable this entire time, and had finally settled his issues after much trouble. He couldn’t wait to see Ye Ming, but had come across such a scene instead! xBjlsz

So, this is the reason you wanted to break up with me?!

Grief and indignation flooded his heart at once, and Zhou Jiaping rushed over with reddened eyes! He grabbed ahold of Ye Ming’s wrist, and tugged him away from Shen Ye’s arms! There was incomparable fury in his voice, “Who is he?!”


The editor has something to say: a scene of bloody slaughter commences…
