“I haven’t seen that brother of yours around my brother.” Zou Qiyao trailed off. He felt that he knew Zou Chen better. After all, he was the only one who could hold onto his thighs out of so many bastards in the Zou family.



Zou Chen is powerful, but he’s never been keen on that sort of thing. Zou Qiyao had never seen anyone staying around him, so back then, he didn’t believe in the gossip between Xiao Chengnuo and Zou Chen at all.

Xiao Chengzhe shook his head, clearly having doubts about his words, “However, Zou Chen has never passed on this kind of thing to anyone else. Xiao Chengnuo is the first.”

This, however, reminded Zou Qiyao.

Just because of that incident three years ago, Xiao Chengnuo could be considered to be on fire, and everyone was talking about him. After all, just as Xiao Chengzhe said, no matter whether it was a man or a woman, this was the first time Zou Chen had such a scandal, so Xiao Chengnuo’s popularity was momentous.

But Zou Qiyao was not happy about this. Previously, he was the only one who got into Zou Chen’s eyes, so why did someone suddenly run out to steal his thunder this time?

Although Xiao Chengnuo has nothing to do with the Zou family in terms of their bloodline, blood is nothing. The Zou family looks at the face of Zou Chen; as long as Zou Chen likes it, everyone has to hold it.

Therefore, Zou Qiyao could be said to be quite uncomfortable with Xiao Chengnuo.

Looking at the flicker of thought in Zou Qiyao’s eyes, Xiao Chengzhe dropped his eyes and smiled. He said this just to arouse Zou Qiyao’s vigilance, but he wasn’t too concerned.

If Xiao Chengzhe hadn’t led someone in the first place, who would have known about Xiao Chengnuo and Zou Chen’s affair? It was just a coincidence, and besides, Xiao Chengzhe didn’t think that Zou Chen would be interested in someone as incompetent as Xiao Chengnuo.

“Damn it, this brat is backfiring at you. I don’t like him either. I don’t want this guy to casually hitch a ride on my Zou family.” Zou Qiyao spat.

Zou Qiyao was accustomed to acting arrogantly.

Qing Yun had just attended his grandmother’s birthday banquet and was stopped when he drove out.

“Yo, Second Young Master Xiao.” Zou Qiyao sat in the sports car, exhaling smoke rings to speak to Qing Yun.

Qing Yun raised his eyebrows. Initially, his impression of Zou Qiyao was merely Xiao Chengzhe’s golden finger. The only time he had paid attention to him was the time this kid had planned to drug him.



Now, he had a bit of other interest.

After all, the world had sent him a message that Zou Qiyao is Zou Chen’s “only favored” younger brother. After the accident, Zou Chen even handed over the large Zou family to Zou Qiyao, just to keep him safe for the rest of his life.

Favor, love?

Qing Yun chewed the words between his lips and teeth. He abruptly smiled and withdrew his car window, “What does Second Young Master Zou have to say?”

Zou Qiyao looked at Qing Yun’s smile, feeling dazzled and a little tickled in his heart. He didn’t forget the purpose of his visit and said in a deep voice: “Look, although you and I are both second young masters, the difference is not small. People have to have some self-awareness, right?”

He suddenly leaned in close to Qing Yun: “I know best what kind of temperament my brother has. You shouldn’t pretend to rub yourself against my brother’s thigh. I’m embarrassed for you.”

“Oh?” Qing Yun came to be interested. He even wanted Zou Chen to come over to hear this.

“Now, my brother doesn’t want to pay attention to you. When he finds out, he’ll be in a bad mood, and you might even lose your life.” Zou Qiyao sighed and said, “What do you want? It’s just money, isn’t it? I’ll give you five million. You take the money neatly and leave with it.”

Zou Qiyao thought simply. Now that Xiao Chengnuo was kicked out of the Xiao family, he’s embracing Zou Chen’s thighs, so what else could he do it for but money?

Qing Yun stared blankly at Zou Qiyao, clearly not expecting this kind of drama to happen to him.

It’s like an idol drama where the man’s mother threatens the woman with money to “Leave my son”.

Qing Yun burst out laughing. The scene of Zou Qiyao smashing money to make him leave somehow poked at Qing Yun’s laughing point, making him laugh for a long time.

It was only until Zou Qiyao’s face was strangely bad that Qing Yun stopped laughing.

“Let’s do this. You throw this five million to your brother. You tell your brother to stay away from me and to don’t stick around me all day, it’s annoying.” Qing Yun threw down the check and drove off with a light smile.



Throwing money at him? It’s not surprising, after all, Zou Qiyao still doesn’t know the identity of Qing Yun. Everyone knows how strong is the ability to amass wealth from new drugs during the patent period, not to mention the miraculous efficacy of the successive drugs launched by Ruixin. Now in terms of financial resources, Ruixin Pharmaceuticals has enough to keep pace with the Zou.

If Zou Qiyao knew this and still dared to threaten Qing Yun with a cheque for five million, perhaps he was out of his mind.

“Damn, psycho?” Looking at Qing Yun’s arrogant attitude, Zou Qiyao hit the steering wheel hard. He glanced at the check, “What is a thigh-hugging bastard blindly pretending to be?”

“What? Didn’t you agree to pick Xiao? And what’s going on?” Xiao Chengzhe growled out into the phone in a low voice.

He thought the matter of working with the Zou Consortium to develop a vaccine was a foregone conclusion, but now there was a change of heart.

“I heard that Ruixin Pharmaceuticals was also interested in cooperating, so there’s news from Zou’s side that they have other plans. After all, Xiao’s compared to Ruixin…”

The words on the other end of the phone weren’t finished, but Xiao Chengzhe could easily hear the unfinished meaning of the words. Compared? In comparison, whether it’s technology or management, Xiao simply doesn’t have the qualifications to compare with Ruixin.

Xiao Chengzhe furiously raked his hair. He didn’t even expect Ruixin to grab this slot. After all, with Ruixin Pharmaceutical’s qualifications and reputation, there was absolutely no need to focus on this opportunity for cooperation.

This evening, he just vouched to Father Xiao that he will make Xiao go further. What will Father Xiao think of him if it turns out that there is nothing for Xiao at all?

Xiao Chengzhe’s eyes flashed with a dark glint as he picked up his phone and called Zou Qiyao.

Ruixin? So what if you have power? Sometimes connections are a strength.

When Qing Yun drove back to Zou Chen’s villa, the interior lights were still on, but none of the original servants in the villa were there.

Knowing that Qing Yun was coming to stay here, Zou Chen knew his temperament, so naturally, he wouldn’t leave anyone else in the villa.

When Qing Yun walked into the living room, he saw Zou Chen opening his suitcase and staring at a box of odd contraptions.

Qing Yun stayed with Mother Xiao at his grandmother’s house last night. To be honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that there were still a few pieces of clothing in the box, Zou Chen would almost think that Qing Yun was packing up all of his gifts and sending them back.



Now that he was looking at the contents of the box, he just felt a gentle surge of tenderness in his heart.

“Who gave you permission to touch my things?” Qing Yun doesn’t sound too good, or rather, he’s not too good in his entirety right now!

If Qing Yun had known, he wouldn’t have brought these things over, which made it look like he treasured them.

Qing Yun moved forward to close the box and reached out to snatch the things from Zou Chen’s hand, but Zou Chen grabbed his wrist.

“Do what?”

Zou Chen brought the person into his arms, his chin resting on the nape of Qing Yun’s neck as he laughed out lowly. This joyful vibration through the two connected limbs went straight to Qing Yun’s heart.

“Baby, why are you so cute?”

“What are you laughing at!” Qing Yun broke away from him in annoyance, her ears cloaked in a thin layer of red.

Zou Chen gently kissed his earlobe, devouring it with his teeth as he whispered in his ear, “Look, you’ve collected so many things, how about collecting another one?”

“What?” Qing Yun withdrew his body and looked at him sideways, feeling somehow that he was now at a disadvantage.

“Me.” Zou Chen pulled his hand and placed it over his heart. His eyes were intoxicatingly gentle.

Qing Yun gave a snort and raised his chin high, his clear eyes as if dipped in clear spring, “Too big, no!”

At the words, Zou Chen laughed even louder, his shoulders shaking. He also cupped Qing Yun’s face and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

“Baby, I’m very big. But how do you know you don’t want it if you haven’t tried it?”



Qing Yun stared, clearly stunned by this man’s shamelessness. Sure enough, this guy was forever full of dirty crap!

The room was overflowing with Zou Chen’s deep and pleasant laughter, which slowly dissipated, and instead, some shallow to low inaudible moans were heard. The groans slowly sounded.

Zou Chen finally got what he wanted and spent two days with Qing Yun. Although it’s still a far cry from the darkroom PLAY he’s been longing for, it’s still extremely pleasing to him to cover Qing Yun with his scent.

“Chengzhe, don’t worry, I will definitely take care of this. If my brother wasn’t at the old mansion that day, how could I have dragged this out? I will go to Zou tomorrow to look for my brother…”

Zou Qiyao slammed the car door and headed inside the villa. Zou Chen had a lot of properties in Yan City, but he basically didn’t live outside of his old mansion. Zou Qiyao was different, he went everywhere and lived wherever he wanted, and the servants couldn’t kick him out.

Speaking of which, he was a bit puzzled. Zou Chen had always stayed either at the company or in his old house. Yesterday, he went to look for someone for Xiao Chengzhe’s sake, but Zou Chen couldn’t even be found in either of these places.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he got. Especially today, when Qiyao drove into the villa, there was no one to help him park the car. Where did all the servants go?

He called out twice, but no one answered. Zou Qiyao turned his head and saw a familiar car – Xiao Chengnuo’s car.

The other day it was this car that arrogantly sped past in front of his eyes, and he couldn’t forget it.

Zou Qiyao sneered, this Second Young Master Xiao is not bad. It was surprising that he managed to find this place and get in. But unfortunately, Xiao Chengnuo didn’t know that Zou Chen had never been to this villa before. He tried to run here to hug his thighs, but he ran to the wrong place.

He tugged on his tie, and some stupid thoughts popped up in his mind. The first time he saw Xiao Chengnuo, he thought he looked good. Especially when he smiled, his heart was tickled, and if not for Xiao Chengzhe, he would have tried to pull him into bed.

Zou Qiyao walked into the house as he laughed sarcastically and loudly, “Xiao Chengnuo, Xiao Chengnuo, I told you clearly to get lost, you don’t understand, do you?”

“I think you look okay and don’t even think about seducing my brother. Sleeping with me might be more…”

Zou Qiyao’s words came to an abrupt halt, and his hand that was undoing his collar just paused, staring blankly at the room.

Zou Chen was wearing an apron. He was holding a spatula in one hand and holding the youth in front of him against himself with the other.
