Chapter 2: Mr. Shen What Now? Qiao Le had thought that the last time he caught a cheater had already been the most socially fatal moment of his life. Turns out, life still had plenty more storms waiting for him. The man in front of him claimed he wasn’t Mr. Huo, but Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen? Shen what now? Why was he a Mr. Shen? Then where was Mr. Huo? Qiao Le’s mind was blank. What had he just said? Honey, say something!We’re insanely in love! As those words echoed in his head, Qiao…- 182.5 K • Completed
- Chapter 19 – A Small Sense of Ceremony The villa’s front yard was enormous. As the car drove in, bursts of confetti went off at intervals along the way to welcome them. Besides that, Qiao Le noticed that there were delicate little lanterns and red double-happiness characters hanging from the bonsai trees lining the road. Was he really just here for dinner? Wasn’t this actually… his own wedding banquet? Amidst all the colorful confetti, Qiao Le found himself dazed. He turned to look…

- Chapter 18 – Unless… he couldn’t get it up? Although he was shocked by Shen Hechuan’s response, Qiao Le knew it wasn’t appropriate to press the issue of what exactly “next time” or “be careful” meant in a public place. He tried to brainwash himself into thinking Shen Hechuan had only said it casually. He hadn’t specifically said the “next time” would be with him, right? What if he meant someone else? So Qiao Le pretended not to have heard clearly and asked a question that…

- Chapter 17: Friends Don’t Sleep Together Same place, same people, same “honey.” Qiao Le no longer felt the awkwardness or embarrassment he had the first time. In fact, after saying it, he almost wanted to laugh. He took it as a way to lighten the mood. “Just kidding, don’t take it seriously.” “I don’t mind,” Shen Hechuan replied calmly. “If you want to, you can.” ?? I want… I want what?! Qiao Le felt like the tables had been turned on him. Shen Hechuan seemed…

- Chapter 16: Ongoing Deal The next day, after sending Qiao Man to kindergarten in the morning, Qiao Le completed another errand order. Once the time was about right, he tidied himself up and headed to Seer Café for the appointment. Just like last time, he parked his little electric scooter in a corner spot—and coincidentally, that same black Maybach from before was parked in the exact same place. Arriving at the door of Seer Café, he double-checked that he hadn’t come to the wrong place…

- Chapter 15: Mr. Shen’s Request How big of a mess can an office worker make? Judy’s answer is: accidentally sending gossip about her boss to the boss himself. The moment she recalled the message, she mentally drafted her resignation letter, sweating bullets as she prayed Shen Hechuan hadn’t seen the two messages she’d just sent. Shen Hechuan did see the messages, but he didn’t pursue Judy for her slip-up. Because, those two messages gave him an idea on how to handle his family’s…

- Chapter 14 - In Excellent Health Shen Hechuan had used protection last night—he was at least that responsible. However, he hadn’t had a recent physical checkup. The company scheduled annual check-ups, but that wasn’t until next month. Shen Hechuan knew his body well. He didn’t smoke, didn’t drink excessively, and didn’t have any bad habits. His physical condition was excellent. Even after being active all night yesterday, he wasn’t tired at all. Still, Qiao Le’s concern was…

- Chapter 13: Safety Measures Qiao Le got out of the car but forgot to take the ointment. Shen Hechuan called out to him, stepped out as well, and handed it over. Still a bit uneasy, he asked, “Do you need to go to the hospital?” Qiao Le quickly waved his hands. “No, no, really, I’m fine.” Going to the hospital with Shen Hechuan in this situation—if the doctor started asking about what happened last night, wouldn’t that be instant social death? Seeing that his complexion looked…

- Chapter 12 – We’re All Adults Here After Qiao Le said, “I don’t have any money,” the room went frighteningly quiet. He had left in such a rush last night that his bag was still at the bar. Thankfully, he hadn’t brought the money with him—otherwise, if he’d actually pulled out cash just now, that would’ve made things even more awkward. It would’ve looked like he was trying to settle the bill afterward. Shen Hechuan’s silence made Qiao Le realize he’d said something wrong.…

- Chapter 11: A Deep Conversation After Drinking Shen Hechuan hadn’t even figured out what kind of “help” Qiao Le meant when the car pulled up. Without thinking too much, he helped Qiao Le into the back seat and got in himself. As soon as he got inside, Qiao Le curled up on the spacious back seat. If one looked closely, they could see his body trembling slightly, his legs tense. The driver asked where they were headed. Shen Hechuan was about to say “hospital,” but Qiao Le let out a low,…
