"Let Me Take You Home"


"I like you..." 

Tang Keyi forced a smile.

[Like hell I do.]

"Hm." 

Qin Zhiyan's response was more of a cold hum than acknowledgment.

"But don't worry, President Qin! I won’t bother you at all. I’ll just be a quiet, well-behaved admirer from afar," 

Keyi assured him, nodding emphatically.

Zhiyan remained silent, though inwardly, he scoffed. 

Quiet? 

Well-behaved? 

You’re neither.

[We’ve talked it out. Can I leave now?]

[I still have a party to crash till dawn!]

"Let’s go." 

Zhiyan stood.

"Huh? Go where?" 

Keyi blinked up at him, baffled.

"Since I didn’t drink, I’ll take you home."

"Oh, that’s really not necessary—"

[My night’s just starting! No way I’m going back yet.]

"It’s no trouble. Let’s go."

"But I—"

Zhiyan cut him off. 

"Didn’t you say you liked me? Shouldn’t you be thrilled I’m offering you a ride?"

Nice try. 

You’re not partying tonight.

Keyi’s smile turned rigid. 

"I. Am. Delighted."





Outside the private room, the hallway was packed with onlookers—

Qin Yulin, Han Qiuqiu, and the rest of their circle, all waiting with bated breath.

Qiuqiu exhaled in relief when he saw Keyi unharmed. 

"Zhiyan, you’re leaving already?" 

Yulin asked.

"I’m taking him home," 

Zhiyan replied tersely.

"You’re taking Tang Keyi home?!" 

Yulin’s jaw dropped.

The shock rippled through the crowd. 

Even Qiuqiu’s eyes widened.

"Keyi, if you’re being coerced, blink twice," 

Qiuqiu hissed.

Keyi’s eyelids fluttered rapidly, nearing a seizure. 

"It’s getting late. I’ll head back first. You all have fun."

[I’M BEING FORCED! IT’S NOT EVEN 11 PM! I WANT TO STAY!]

Zhiyan: 

No, you don’t.

"Let’s go." 

He strode ahead.

"Keyi!" 

Qiuqiu writhed in Yulin’s grip. 

"Someone call the police! I’m being harassed!"

Yulin tightened his hold. 

"Keep it up, Qiuqiu, and I’ll give you a real reason to scream."

Keyi dragged his feet, shooting desperate looks at Qiuqiu until Zhiyan—

noticing his reluctance—yanked him forward by his hoodie, nearly toppling him.

"Wow, Tang Shao’s dream came true! He’s this close to bagging President Qin!" 

someone whispered.

"Right? All that pining finally paid off."

Qiuqiu: 

Oh, you sweet summer children.






[IS THAT THE NEW RR LIMITED EDITION?! HOW DID HE GET ONE?!]

[It’s even the silver-black trim—classy, sleek, perfect. Guess Zhiyan’s taste isn’t completely trash.]

Keyi’s eyes practically emitted laser beams when he saw the car. 

Only ten existed worldwide, reserved for elite clientele. 

Money alone couldn’t buy it.

Zhiyan, overhearing his mental fanboying, was mildly baffled. 

It’s just a car.

He’d bought it for performance, not prestige.

Keyi’s soul vibrated with envy, but his face remained coolly detached as he slid into the passenger seat. 

"Not bad."

[NOT BAD?! IT’S GODTIER!]

[WHY CAN’T IT BE MINE?!]

Zhiyan pressed the ignition.

[Listen to that engine! I’d drag-race this beauty down Mount Akina!]

Keyi’s tone was breezy. 

"Decent ride."

[DECENT?! IT’S MAGNIFICENT!]

Zhiyan smirked.

Fine. 

Since he loves it so much, 

I’ll take the scenic route.

[This isn’t the way to the Tang estate…]

[Is he planning to dump me in some wasteland?!]

Zhiyan: …Does he think I’m a serial killer?

Only when they looped onto the ring road did Keyi relax.

[Oh. He’s just flexing.]

[Damn. It’s working.]

Zhiyan: That’s it. Straight home.




"It’s late. I won’t invite you in," 

Keyi said sweetly, unbuckling.

[It’s early. I just don’t want Grandma seeing you and getting ideas. Leave.]

Zhiyan feigned offense. 

"No gratitude for the chauffeur service?"

[Did I ask for a ride?! I was fine partying!]

"Thanks, President Qin. You should rest."

Zhiyan, who’d never planned to enter anyway, nodded. 

Keyi bolted out, chirping, "Drive safe!" before slamming the door.

[Finally.]

As Zhiyan pulled away, 

Keyi’s unfinished thought—[This car is legendary—]—faded with the distance.

Sighing, Keyi murmured, 

"That car is perfection."



From the balcony, Grandma Tang witnessed the entire scene.

Who dropped Keyi off? 

And why’s he staring after them like a lovesick fool?

She dialed her butler. 

"Lao Liu, check the surveillance. I want to know who drove Keyi home."

Hanging up, 

she noticed her burner phone blowing up with notifications.

The "Imperial Capital Elite Gossip Squad" group chat had hundreds of unread messages.

Her jaw hit the floor.

Another call to Lao Liu: 

"Never mind. I already know."

She’d feared her grandson was doomed to die alone. 

But fate had other plans!

Sure, snagging the Qin family’s heir wouldn’t be easy…

But it doesn't matter.

Keyi, my dear—Grandma’s got your back.

Clutching her phone, Grandma Tang made a vow.





Qin Corporation HQ.

"Tang Matriarch wants to see me?" 

Zhiyan looked up from his desk, arching a brow at Cong Qiao.

Chapter 1 The big fierce A turns into a vicious soft O

By -
"Ahhh!" "Where's my big dragon!" "Why did it become a little dragon?!" Following a sharp explosion, Nian Jinsui stared in disbelief.  He checked his body repeatedly with his eyes, and finally raised his head like a bolt out of the blue, and his eyes fell on the mirror in front of him. The boy in the mirror had fluffy chestnut curly hair, his skin was as smooth and shiny as white jade, and his cheeks were stained with a faint blush, as if covered with a light crimson haze. His facial features are particularly exquisite, and he looks like God's favorite at first glance.  His eyes were very bright and moist, and they were slightly widened at this time, full of surprise.  Even the pink lips were slightly open, and it seemed that he had been greatly shocked. One look at this appearance, and you can tell that he is a noble, pampered kid from a rich family. Nian Jinsui looked at the face in front of him...

Chapter 2 I am not an Omega, I want to commit suicide!

By -
“Mr. Nian, Mr. Qin asked me to bring my family’s second young master here. I’ll leave him in your care.” A middle-aged man in a loose suit stood respectfully outside the Nian family villa, speaking to Nian Yixin. “Of course, Mr. Qin has already informed me.”  Nian Yixin replied with a polite smile, though his expression carried a natural air of measured distance. He was the head of the Nian family and, notably, an Omega. Nian Yixin’s gaze landed on the young man beside the driver.  The youth stood straight, his frame lean like a proud green bamboo.  His features were sharp and handsome, his eyes deep and dark, as though concealing icy cracks beneath a cold river, exuding an air of coldness and eeriness. At the corner of his right eye, there was a small mole, adding a faint trace of aloofness to his expression. His indifferent demeanor and taciturn nature made him less than charming as a guest. “So this is Chengyu? You’ll be living with us from now on. Feel free to...

Chapter 51 Attending the Celebration Banquet in Style

By -
"Son, I know you’re upset right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you need to endure this for now"   Qin Mu yun advised.  "Nian Jinsui is the type who thrives on making a fuss. If this incident gets blown up and reaches your grandfather’s ears, it’ll be hard to handle." Compared to Qin Cheng luo, Qin Mu yun was slightly more level-headed.  Although she was angry, she hadn’t lost her rationality.  With Qin Zhuo currently evaluating Qin Cheng luo, they couldn’t afford to take any risks. Qin Cheng luo, though unwilling, understood the gravity of the situation.   "Don’t worry, Mom. Once I become the head of Qin Corporation, handling Qin Chengyu will be a piece of cake. I’ll make sure Nian Jinsui kneels before me, begging for my mark!" "Someone that even Chu Heting doesn’t want—what’s so special about him? If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the only son of the Nian family, who could tolerate his ...

Chapter 3 Come on, just let him kiss you.

By -
Nian Jinsui was having a beautiful dream.  In his dream, he had returned to his original body and even met his dream Omega. The little Omega’s face wasn’t clear; he could only see those soft-looking lips approaching him, with a faint, sweet fragrance. So proactive—how could he wait any longer? Nian Jinsui widened his eyes, trying to see the Omega’s face clearly.  He puckered his lips in anticipation of those tender, delicate lips. As his vision sharpened, however... The person before him had cold, indifferent eyes, even showing a trace of reluctance and resistance. Even the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to emit disdain.  Yet, those lips were exceptionally beautiful—plump and defined, looking so tempting to bite. Come on, come on, just give him a kiss… Just as Qin Chengyu’s lips were about to touch Nian Jinsui’s, their eyes met.  Qin Chengyu saw Nian Jinsui’s intoxicated gaze, coupled with the subtle movements of his lips. Qin Chengyu quickly lowered his eyes, ...

Chapter 5 What do you call a person who can’t smell?

By -
Nian Jinsui couldn't help but think of Qin Chengyu's life experience. The current leader of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, is nearly seventy years old. He is still energetic and quick-thinking, and holds all the power of the Qin family firmly in his hands. Qin Zhuo is a top Alpha with high IQ and strong ability. Under his hands, the Qin family has developed into one of the three major families in the imperial capital. At the same time, he is also a proud and arrogant person. He hopes that his high-quality Alpha genes can continue to carry forward the Qin family. It's a pity that he only has two Omega daughters, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu. Qin Zhuo could only recruit two Alpha sons-in-law, and put his hope in his grandchildren. Later, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu gave birth to sons one year apart. It's just that Qin Muyu was not in good health originally, and became even more weak after giving birth to a child, and died a few years later. Her husband was distraught, depressed all day ...
