C1 Chapter 1

"When are you going to tell him?" In the room, a boy that was so beautiful that it was hard to tell his gender was lying in the arms of a handsome man with sharp edges. His small hands were restlessly drawing circles on the man's chest.

"Not yet." The man grabbed the boy's hand and kissed it lightly as if he was treating a treasure.

"Not yet? Then how long will it take? I've followed you for three years and I've been sneaking around every day. Do you love me or not?"

The boy pulled back his hand, pursing his lips, his dark eyes full of disapproval, his voice raised, and the man, instead of being unhappy, approached the boy with a smile, pulled him into his arms again, and kissed the top of his head.

"Of course I love you. Otherwise, what is the point of my current efforts?"

When the boy heard Lian Muqing's words, he raised his head and gently climbed onto her neck.

"Muqing, you know that's not what I meant. I just want to monopolize you. Do you know how painful it is for me? Every day, seeing you with him, watching you dote on him, watching you do all those things for him that were originally only for me, my heart hurts and bleeds."

Lian Muqing's voice was filled with comfort as his big hand gently stroked the boy's soft black hair.

"Good boy, soon. Once he signs the share transfer agreement, he will be worthless."

The boy's eyes widened in joy. It was written with anticipation and joy. He, Bai Nanning, had finally waited for this day to come. He could have all and only of Lian Muqing's love.

However, the boy still wanted to confirm it again. He could feel the change in Lian Muqing's feelings for Xia Tinghan, but he didn't notice it yet.

"Really?"

Lian Muqing kissed the boy on the lips. "Yes, his father is dead. That old fox has always been on his guard against me. Tinghan has a weak personality and loves me with all his heart. It's only a matter of time before he transfer the company to me!"

The boy threw himself into Lian Muqing's arms, trembling with excitement. He had been waiting for this day for three years.

"That's great! I can finally be with you properly. I don't need to hide anymore. I love you, Lian Muqing!"

Lian Muqing wrapped his arms around the boy's slender waist, his voice full of tenderness.

"I love you too, baby."

There was only a door between them, but the people inside were passionately colliding with each other. The people outside the door were all cold.

Xia Tinghan returned to the car and stared blankly at the contract in his hand. Tears fell from his eyes one by one. Disregarding his grandfather's objections and the advice of his friends, he threw himself into Lian Muqing's scam.

Because of him, he quarreled with his grandfather day and night. Because of him, he fell out with his friends and cut off all contact with them.

He had sadly become a loner, while his only pillar of support was fooling around in bed with others.

Xia Tinghan smiled bitterly as he looked at the contents of the contract. Even in death, his grandfather had always been on guard against Lian Muqing. Even in death, he had always protected him, but he was like a fool, guarding someone who didn't love him.

In his grandfather's will, it was written that all of the company's shares would be handed over to Xia Tinghan's second uncle to manage. When Xia Tinghan had been married for three years, he would hand over 20% of the shares to Xia Tinghan. After ten years of marriage, he would hand over 60% of the shares to Xia Tinghan. The rest of the shares would be handed over to Xia Tinghan's second uncle to manage."

He had hurt all the people who loved him most in the world, and he was going to make up for it while he still had time.
