 "Go Beg Qin Zhiyan for Help"


"Huh?" 

Tang Keyi watched as Li Mingxing climbed back over the railing and hurried to follow.

"Call a driver since you’ve been drinking. I’m heading out." 

Without looking back, Li Mingxing waved a hand and quickly hailed a taxi, 

disappearing down the road.

Left alone by the riverbank, Tang Keyi shivered in the cold wind. 

"Damn it! Should’ve minded my own business! That Li Mingxing—zero gratitude!"





Rushing to the private club at Han Qiuqiu’s urgent call, 

Tang Keyi pushed open the door to find his friend fuming.

"What now? Who pissed off Young Master Han this time?"

Casually shrugging off his coat and hanging it up, 

Tang Keyi poured himself a drink and sat across from Han Qiuqiu.

"In this entire city, only two people constantly get on my nerves!" 

Han Qiuqiu downed his glass in one go, clearly seething.

"So which one of them was dumb enough to cross you today?" 

Tang Keyi already knew the candidates. 

"Qin Yilin? Or Li Mingxing?"

"Both!" Han Qiuqiu held up two fingers. 

"They’re teaming up to ruin my life!"

"Do tell," 

Tang Keyi leaned in, eager for the drama.

"Qin Yilin’s lost his mind lately—blowing up my DMs, ambushing me at my studio after I blocked him, sending gifts I immediately trash! Like I can’t afford my own stuff?"

Tang Keyi nodded knowingly. 

"So he’s trying to win you back?"

"Win me back?" Han Qiuqiu scoffed. 

"In his dreams! What’s weird is that he’s never been this clingy before. All his past breakups were clean—no looking back. Why’s he tormenting me?"

"Ever consider," 

Tang Keyi smirked, 

"that he might actually have real feelings for you?"

"Pfft." 

Han Qiuqiu shot him a sidelong glance. 

"Ask anyone in the city—since when does Qin Yilin do real feelings? Those words probably aren’t even in his dictionary."

Seeing his skepticism, Tang Keyi changed tack. 

"What about Li Mingxing?"

"Don’t get me started!" 

Han Qiuqiu slammed the table. 

"Ran into him shopping this afternoon."

Tang Keyi could already imagine the verbal sparring. 

"And?"

"I wasn’t in the mood to engage, but he immediately asked if I’d failed to book a New Year’s Eve suite at Capital Tower." 

Han Qiuqiu fumed. 

"Which—fine, I didn’t get one because my usual contact quit. He always reserved it for me the past two years! By the time I called this year, everything was gone."

"Who cares? We can party anywhere," 

Tang Keyi soothed.

"That’s what I thought—until I saw Li Mingxing’s smug face! Like booking some suite makes him king? No way!" 

Han Qiuqiu clenched his fists. 

"Now I have to secure one just to wipe that smirk off his face!"

"…Okay, go for it?" 

Tang Keyi replied disinterestedly.

Han Qiuqiu fell silent, fixing Tang Keyi with an unnerving stare.

Sensing danger, Tang Keyi inched away. 

"Spit it out. That look’s creeping me out."

"Tang Keyi," 

Han Qiuqiu fluttered his lashes mockingly, 

"you are my connections."

"What do you want me to do?" Tang Keyi’s stomach dropped.

"Capital Tower’s owned by the Qins. They always reserve a suite for family use." 

Han Qiuqiu grinned. 

"Go beg Qin Zhiyan for me!"

Tang Keyi nearly leapt from his seat. 

"Are you insane? Since when am I that close to him? Ask Qin Yilin—he’d say yes in a heartbeat!"

"And risk him blackmailing me into getting back together? This is about face, Tang Keyi! You have to help!"

Though Tang Keyi agreed pride was at stake, asking Qin Zhiyan felt impossible. 

Sure, they’d grown closer—Qin Zhiyan would likely agree—

but ever since the horseback ride, being near him made Tang Keyi inexplicably flustered.

"Maybe Li Mingxing was just teasing? Let it go—we’ll find somewhere else to celebrate," 

he hedged.

He remembered Li Mingxing offering to pay at the jewelry store. 

Beneath their rivalry, there’d been genuine kindness. 

Perhaps it was time to bury the hatchet.

"Whose side are you on?!" Han Qiuqiu glared. 

"We’re supposed to be a team!"

Cornered, Tang Keyi surrendered. 

"Fine, fine! I’ll mention it to Qin Zhiyan—no guarantees."

"I know you’ll deliver!" 

Han Qiuqiu brightened instantly. 

"Your grandma’s birthday next week—Qin Zhiyan’s attending, right?"

"Yeah. He confirmed after getting the invite."

"Honestly, Grandma Tang’s genius for hosting a charity auction instead of accepting gifts. Classy and meaningful."

"She calls it ‘accumulating good karma.’"

"Decided what you’re donating?"

"Not yet. Probably something from my collection."

"Whatever it is, people will bid like crazy. Half the city’s waiting to curry favor with Young Master Tang."

"Takes one to know one, Young Master Han."

The two toasted to their mutual flattery.






Qin Zhiyan didn’t need Tang Keyi to ask—

his inner monologue had already spilled everything.

But he’d never bring it up first. 

Like a seasoned hunter, 

he preferred watching Tang Keyi squirm, 

waiting for him to voice the request himself.

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 4 If you don’t complete the task, you will be punished

By -
[Host, remember this: beyond the storyline, the world is vast.] “What does that mean? Can you be more specific?” [Host, you must understand that the novel's storyline does not describe every hour of every day. Moreover, you are just a side character, so the storyline involving you is relatively sparse. This means that as long as you don't violate the system's rules, you are free to do as you please during the times when you are not part of the storyline.] “But won’t this affect the development of the plot? After all, I’m living in what feels like a real world.” [It naturally could, which is why you have the opportunity to change your ending. For example, today you jumped off a building, and Qin Chengyu saved you. This event was not part of the novel’s original storyline. It will inevitably affect Qin Chengyu’s impression of you.] Nian Jinsui sneered,  “Of course it will. He saved me, making him my lifesaver. But in the future, I’ll have to follow the storyline and mis...
