Chapter 120 I Know You Don’t Like Me

By -


Ning Liangan looked skeptical. 

"Really? But ever since you got married, you haven’t come home to visit us. If you’re not too happy to miss home, then what is it?"

Nian Jinsui wanted to cry. 

He wasn’t too happy to miss home—he was trapped like a bird in a cage!

"Anyway, if you’re free, come visit me more often." 

Nian Jinsui glanced at Chu Heting and added, 

"Just you, though."

He didn’t understand why Chu Heting had tagged along today. 

As the Chu family heir, he wasn’t as carefree as Chu Hejun—

so why would he come to the Qin estate? 

Was he still worried Nian Jinsui would bully Ning Liangan?

At that moment, Chu Heting, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"Jinsui, you don’t seem very welcoming."

Nian Jinsui nodded vigorously in his heart. 

Yes, yes, you’ve figured it out! But he still had to keep up appearances. 

"How could that be? I’ve been longing for Ting-gege to visit me!"

Chu Heting didn’t respond, only fixing Nian Jinsui with a sharp gaze.

Nian Jinsui’s heart pounded under that scrutiny. 

Does he see through me…?

Ning Liangan’s eyes flickered between Chu Heting and Nian Jinsui before he suddenly stood up.

"This is my first time at the Qin residence. I’d like to look around. You two talk—I’ll be back soon."

"Huh?" 

Nian Jinsui didn’t understand Ning Liangan’s move, 

but before he could ask, Chu Heting explained, 

"I told Liangan I wanted to have a proper talk with you."

Ning Liangan stepped outside and immediately spotted Butler Wu lingering by the door.

"Butler Wu, what are you doing here?"

"Young Master Nian, I was just waiting in case the gentlemen needed anything."

Having worked as a waiter before, 

Ning Liangan instantly recognized that Butler Wu was eavesdropping.

"It’s my first time here. Why don’t you give me a tour, Butler Wu?"

Butler Wu hesitated. 

Everyone in the capital knows Nian Jinsui was obsessed with Chu Heting. 

If I let Chu Heting into the Qin estate and don’t keep an eye on them, 

Qin Chengyu will have my head when he gets back.

The current Qin Chengyu wasn’t the same as before—he held real power now. 

And Butler Wu had a sneaking suspicion that if Qin Chengyu ever decided to be ruthless, he wouldn’t lose to Chairman Qin. 

He dared not be careless.

Besides, any servant could give Ning Liangan a tour. 

It was obvious Ning Liangan was trying to get rid of him.

Seeing Butler Wu hesitate, Ning Liangan struck first, putting on a wounded expression.

"Butler Wu, do you dislike me too? I just returned to the Nian family. I know everyone thinks I’m a country bumpkin with no sophistication."

Butler Wu paled. 

"Young Master Nian, how could you say such a thing? I would never dare dislike you!"

Of course, Butler Wu knew Ning Liangan was doing this on purpose—

but with the words already out, he couldn’t possibly stay. He quickly stepped forward.

"Young Master Nian, right this way."

Back inside, Nian Jinsui was baffled. 

He couldn’t imagine what Chu Heting wanted to talk about and grew uneasy.

"Ting-gege, what did you want to discuss?"

"Whether you actually like me or not."

Nian Jinsui’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately slipped into acting mode.

"Ting-gege, you can doubt anything—but never my devotion to you! My love for you—"

"Enough." 

Chu Heting cut him off before he could launch into another passionate monologue. 

"Spare me the clichés and insincerity. I know you don’t like me."

Nian Jinsui’s eyes widened. He had no idea how to react and quickly asked his system in panic:

"Xili Xili, what do I do now? My acting is flawless—how did Chu Heting figure it out? But this isn’t my fault, right? I’ve completed every task diligently!"

[The system only requires the host to maintain character. Whether other characters believe it is irrelevant.]

Relieved that the system wasn’t blaming him, Nian Jinsui realized—

So even if I’m exposed, I have to keep pretending?

Forcing a calm expression, he let out a dry laugh. 

"Ting-gege, you must be joking. I’ve liked you for over a decade. How could you say something so hurtful…"

Chu Heting studied Nian Jinsui’s exaggerated pout and furrowed brows, finding his terrible acting more amusing by the second. 

Back when he’d ignored Nian Jinsui, he hadn’t realized the man had such a talent for comedy.

"Though I don’t know why you’re doing this, I won’t force you to admit it if you’re unwilling." 

Chu Heting’s tone turned serious. 

"There’s one more thing. Liangan told me it was you who helped him resolve his inner conflicts and accept my feelings. I came today to thank you."

Nian Jinsui had never seen Chu Heting speak to him so sincerely before. 

He was at a loss, scrambling for a response.

Should I say ‘you’re welcome’?

Would that break character?

Would it be better to just start screaming instead?

Chu Heting really knows how to make things difficult for me!

Unaware of Nian Jinsui’s internal crisis, Chu Heting continued, 

"And one more thing—happy marriage."

Nian Jinsui froze, even more unsure how to respond.

But he could roughly understand Chu Heting’s perspective. 

Aside from Nian Jinsui’s one-sided obsessive pursuit, they had no real grudges. 

In fact, they’d grown up together and shared a connection through Ning Liangan.

Now that Chu Heting knew his "love" was fake, their relationship was much simpler.

So… is Chu Heting here to make peace?

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

"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 ...
