Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Lu Wei was a scumbag. He knew this himself, but many people couldn't see it clearly.

He was twenty-nine years old, had been married once, and was the CEO of a listed company in China.

Everyone thought he was a good man. Even his rivals, when mentioning him, would say to others with a tinge of envy:

"Lu Wei? He's a very good person. He treats his ex-wife and children well, and he's good to his parents too. And he has great luck. Others have to start multiple ventures to succeed, but he succeeded on his first try. Tsk, and he's so young and handsome."

...

"President Lu, are there any other issues with our cooperation?" Qin Ge, sitting on the opposite sofa, sat upright. Dressed in a business suit, a trace of nervousness was on his face.

It was the unease one feels in the presence of a superior.

"There are no problems." Lu Wei smiled slightly, picked up a pen, and signed the document. "It's just, Mr. Qin, you'll wrinkle your trousers."

"Ah..." Qin Ge quickly released his hand, which had unconsciously been gripping his trousers, seeing several creases appear on them. His handsome, somewhat boyish face involuntarily flushed.

Lu Wei looked at Qin Ge, feeling a surge of interest, yet his eyes remained gentle, playing the gentleman. He stood up and poured Qin Ge a cup of tea. "Seeing you like this, Mr. Qin, reminds me of when I first started my business."

Lu Wei had divorced his wife, A Sang, not long ago and was currently between relationships.

"Is that so?" Qin Ge took the tea with both hands, as if some of his nervousness had melted away.

"Mhm." Lu Wei's lips quirked slightly. "When I secured my first round of venture capital, I was about your age."

...

In the following time, the two hit it off. Lu Wei's extensive knowledge, exceptional insight, and polished conversation quickly captivated Qin Ge.

They talked about everything: entrepreneurial dreams and passion, growth experiences, parents and family. Qin Ge's initial nervousness and unease had now dissipated, his eyes filled with bright, sparkling admiration.

"I'll be staying in B City for half a month this time, and I don't know my way around." Lu Wei smiled at Qin Ge, gazing at him. "I hope when you have time, Xiao Qin, you can show me around."

Lu Wei had a good appearance: tall and well-built, broad-shouldered and long-legged. His facial features and bone structure seemed meticulously carved by a craftsman. His hairstyle and attire were always impeccably maintained, giving a stern and aloof impression at first glance. However, his irises were a light brown, much lighter than most people's. When he looked at someone intently, they appeared clear and affectionate.

Qin Ge couldn't help but blush. "President Lu, don't worry. I know all the hotspots and best eats in this city. You'll definitely be satisfied."

"Mhm, I'm looking forward to it." Lu Wei looked at Qin Ge, a gentle smile on his face, but a thrill of transgression surged in his heart.

As a partner, Lu Wei naturally understood Qin Ge's background.

Qin Ge was gay. He had had a relationship in college that went nowhere. After graduating, he started his own business. It was an ordinary small company, established for a short time. Merely surviving and turning a small profit was already not easy.

Choosing to cooperate with such a company also had benefits for Lu Wei. In terms of stance and pricing, it offered more advantages compared to other large companies.

Plus, Qin Ge's looks indeed aligned quite well with Lu Wei's taste. Importantly, Qin Ge wasn't selling himself; he was clean.

Lu Wei was bisexual, but he detested male prostitutes and rent boys the most. Those blatant, clearly priced sexual transactions were what he looked down upon the most.

What he wanted was to devour the other person's emotions and body together.

That flavor was delicious, sweet and slightly bloody.

...

Qin Ge quickly became smitten with Lu Wei. Since breaking up with his college ex, this was the first time he had felt this way.

He wasn't a casual person. His social circle was already small, and even fewer gay men caught his eye. After breaking up with his ex, he had tried meeting two or three people in gay bars, but found them shallow and boring, either with peculiar fetishes or just in it for the money.

Lu Wei would leave in another week. He might never meet another man as outstanding as Lu Wei again.

Thinking of Lu Wei's clear, light brown eyes and his elegant smile, Qin Ge felt his heart hammering in his chest.

Qin Ge knew Lu Wei had been married before, and he also thought Lu Wei was probably straight. However, his feelings for Lu Wei were so intense, he found it hard to restrain himself.

Holding a bottle of red wine, he reached out and pressed the doorbell of the luxury suite in the five-star hotel. Suppressing the fire burning in his chest, he said softly, "President Lu."

Lu Wei had just finished showering. When he came out to open the door, he saw the young man with a slightly flushed face.

He couldn't help but sneer inwardly. *Too easy to get.* But as a fling to pass the time, a romantic embellishment to enjoy during a holiday, it was delicious enough.

"Come in." Lu Wei slightly stepped aside, letting Qin Ge enter the room.

Qin Ge took in the room and placed the red wine on the dining counter. Just then, all the lights in the room suddenly went out.

Before Qin Ge could adjust to the darkness, he heard music start playing behind him.

*Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...*

He turned around in surprise and saw candlelight filling his view. It was Lu Wei bringing over a cake. Candles representing his age were inserted into the cake, burning into a bright, vibrant cluster.

"How about it, happy?" Lu Wei placed the cake on the dining counter and pinched Qin Ge's still somewhat baby-fat cheek. "Make a wish quickly."

Qin Ge's eyes welled up. He looked down at the pitch-black floor beneath his feet and blinked rapidly. "President Lu... how did you know it's my birthday?"

Since coming out and falling out with his family, and after breaking up with his ex, no one had celebrated his birthday.

"If you care about someone, you naturally know." Lu Wei reached out, lifted Qin Ge's chin, and planted a kiss on his lips.

In his panic, Qin Ge leaned backward. Lu Wei promptly wrapped an arm around his waist and chuckled. "Isn't this what you wanted?"

Feeling Qin Ge steady himself, Lu Wei let go and walked to the side to turn on the lights. "If this isn't what you hoped for, we can pretend nothing happened between us."

Qin Ge looked at Lu Wei's straight, sword-like back but couldn't see his expression, only hearing his voice remain calm and gentle.

As if he could turn and leave at any moment, never looking back.

Qin Ge felt a huge wave of fear strike his chest. He nearly stumbled as he ran to Lu Wei, hugged him, and kissed him clumsily.

Qin Ge's teeth occasionally bumped against Lu Wei's lips, causing sharp pain.

Lu Wei let out a light laugh, finding it somewhat unbearable. So he took back the initiative, probing his tongue into Qin Ge's mouth to entwine with his.

Sucking, licking, exchanging saliva, then swallowing it down each other's throats. Qin Ge's taste was as good as Lu Wei had imagined—youthful and fervent.

Qin Ge never knew kissing could leave someone exhausted and dazed. He had experience kissing his ex, but those were always cautious, with a bit of nervousness and sweetness. Never had it been as fervent and scorching as now, as if they were devouring each other.

Qin Ge kissed until his whole body went soft, then was pressed down by Lu Wei onto the spacious sofa.

Lu Wei looked at Qin Ge's flushed face, slightly lowered his eyelids, his light brown eyes revealing tender affection. He nibbled on Qin Ge's earlobe.

Then it was close combat, storming the city and plundering the land.
