Mia also greeted, "President Ji."

Ji Yanli stepped up beside Su Yu, their shoulders nearly brushing.

His gaze swept over the R&D manager's face. "Seems the R&D department has too much free time lately."

The manager stiffened. 

While they had been slacking off—counting on Ji Yanli’s infrequent visits—he never expected to be called out so bluntly.

"President Ji, I’ll hold a meeting tonight to address discipline."

The previously smug employees now shrank like quails under a hawk’s stare.

So this is the power of authority, Su Yu mused. 

No wonder people claw their way to the top.

Ji Yanli’s hand settled on Su Yu’s shoulder, feeling the slight tremor beneath his palm.

"Assistant Su will be working closely with me. If anyone struggles with cooperation, I’m happy to replace them with more… obedient alternatives."

[Translation: Old fools bullying my wife? Pack your desks by noon.]
[You always nail his inner monologue!]
[If I had a hubby who protected me like this, I’d marry him even if he lived in a cardboard box.]
[Greedy much?]

Warmth seeped through Su Yu’s left shoulder—and somehow, his chest too.

Is Ji Yanli insane? Is he really threatening to fire people over… me?

The manager forced a smile. "Understood, President Ji."

Ji Yanli ignored him, turning to Mia. "That’s enough for today. Thank you."

Mia’s lips parted as if to protest, but she merely nodded. "Of course."

Still reeling, Su Yu felt a warm breath against his ear as Ji Yanli murmured, "With me."

His mind was chaos, but his feet obediently followed the taller man.

Is he about to lecture me? It made sense—causing a scene on his first day was hardly professional.

But they started it! Ji Yanli had to know he wasn’t some pushover.



In the Office,

The moment the door closed, Su Yu blurted, "Hey, Ji Yanli—"

Ji Yanli halted abruptly. Su Yu crashed into his back, his nose smacking against firm muscle.

"Ow! What’s with the sudden stop?!" He rubbed his throbbing nose.

A faint chuckle. Ji Yanli turned, his face unreadable. "You called me."

Su Yu swallowed his retort.

"For the record, they provoked me first."

Ji Yanli sank onto the sofa. "Did I say you were wrong?"

…He hadn’t.

"Then why drag me up here?"

"Just informing you: I have a dinner engagement tonight. You’re dismissed early."

His eyes flicked over Su Yu’s face. "And for the record, I approve of how you handled that situation."

Approve? Of nearly brawling in the office?

Su Yu eyed him suspiciously. "Aren’t you worried I’ll embarrass you in public?"

"Better embarrassment than passivity. As my assistant, your conduct reflects on me. I won’t tolerate the Ji Group being perceived as weak."

Su Yu’s ears warmed. Maybe he’s not completely unreasonable.

Then Ji Yanli leaned back, smirking. "After all, even beating a dog requires the owner’s permission."

Never mind. He’s still a bastard.

"Who are you calling a dog?!"

"Hm. Who indeed?"

That infuriating grin made Su Yu’s fists clench. He nearly swung—until the bullet comments flashed in his mind ("Ji-ge gets off on your anger!"), forcing him to exhale sharply.

A knock interrupted them. Mia’s voice: "President Ji, it’s time to leave."

Ji Yanli stood, straightening his suit. "Don’t be late tomorrow."

As he brushed past, sandalwood scent enveloped Su Yu. He glared at the retreating back, miming a punch at the air.

Just wait. 

One day, you’ll kneel and call me ‘President Su.’



Outside the Building,

Stepping into the sunlight, Su Yu felt disoriented. 

Yesterday, I was the idle young master of the Su family. Today, I’m someone’s lackey.

And Ji Yanli took Mia to the dinner instead of him. 

Was he that worried I’d humiliate him?

He dug his nails into his palm, cutting off the thought.

His phone buzzed—two short rings, a pause, then two more.

Only Shen Le, that idiot, used that obnoxious pattern.

"Su-ge! Off work? Come to Moonlight—let’s celebrate your first day!" 

Shen Le’s voice was overly cheerful.

Exhausted, Su Yu almost declined—until:

"Song Yanchu’s here too."

His pulse spiked. Yanchu?

"Wait for me. I’m on my way."

Moonlight Bar was his old haunt, though Yanchu usually avoided the noise. 

Why go today?

But it’d been weeks since he’d seen him. Su Yu rushed over, nodding at the familiar bouncer.

"Room 1004."

He paused at the door, smoothing his clothes.

Inside, only Shen Le and Lin Yanjun lounged amid strobe lights.

Su Yu’s smile died. "Where’s Yanchu?"

Shen Le scratched his head. "Uh… we invited him, but he bailed?"

"I’m leaving."

Lin Yanjun caught his arm. "C’mon, we helped you yesterday! One drink?"

Su Yu hesitated. These two had scrambled to support him when he was disowned.

With a sigh, he slumped onto the couch.

Fine. One drink.

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 ...
