The top floor of Qingyan Garden, Chu Mo's home.
Chu Mo's home was just like the man himself: somber and serious. Black and white dominated, accented with gold. The place was clean and tidy, and looked... utterly devoid of life.
The moment he entered, Ji Nanshu made straight for the sofa. His brows furrowed as soon as he sat down. This sofa was just like Chu Mo-hard as a rock! It wasn't comfortable at all!
Ji Nanshu called out pitifully, "My dear sugar daddy~"
Chu Mo paused in the middle of taking off his coat. "Hmm?"
"Can we get a different sofa~?" Sitting on the sofa, Ji Nanshu turned sideways and braced both hands against it, exposing a broad expanse of fair skin on his chest. His peach-blossom eyes sparkled as he gazed at Chu Mo. From Chu Mo's angle, he could even see the lovely view down Ji Nanshu's shirt.
Chu Mo unconsciously swallowed. "What kind?"
Seeing that Chu Mo had agreed, Ji Nanshu gestured extravagantly. "You know, the really soft kind! One you sink into when you lie down!"
"All right. I'll have one delivered tomorrow."
"And... two cushions, too. Pink ones!"
Heh, something pink in Chu Mo's black-and-white home would look hilarious~
Watching Ji Nanshu's blatant mischief, Chu Mo's lips curved slightly. "All right."
This little guy was just too cute.
After agreeing to all of Ji Nanshu's strange requests, his gaze swept over Ji Nanshu's wide-open neckline, and he suddenly said, "Go take a shower."
Hmm? A shower?
Ji Nanshu rubbed his hands together excitedly. Were they getting down to business?!
Well... it wasn't as if he minded (￣▽￣)／!
Ji Nanshu obediently went into the bathroom.
While Ji Nanshu showered, Chu Mo took out his phone and called his manager. "Have someone deliver a sofa tomorrow. The softest one. And two cushions... yes, pink."
His manager, Yun Sheng, was full of question marks. What? Had he just gone deaf? Replacing the sofa was one thing, but cushions? Two of them? And pink?
Fuck!!
Was the world ending tomorrow?!
Wait-
He couldn't have started dating behind his back, could he?! Or even... moved in with someone?!
That was fucking scarier than the end of the world!!!
Yun Sheng could already imagine the uproar once the relationship came to light. This was far scarier than the end of the world. He was doomed. More overnight overtime!!!
Boohoo, his thick, black hair!!
After washing himself thoroughly, Ji Nanshu poked his dripping head out and called softly, "My dear sugar daddy~"
Chu Mo had just returned from his phone call. "What is it?"
Ji Nanshu blinked. "...I don't have any pajamas."
Chu Mo turned to fetch some pajamas, but Ji Nanshu suddenly caught his hem and nestled into his arms, gripping the clothes over his chest with both hands as he tilted his head up to look at him.
Ji Nanshu was beautiful. The steam in the bathroom had flushed his fair, tender skin a delicate pink, and his normally clear peach-blossom eyes looked damp, like a fawn's eyes, particularly lively.
Startled by Ji Nanshu's sudden movement, Chu Mo didn't even know where to put his hands.
He pressed his lips together. Only after a long moment did he rest his hands against Ji Nanshu's bare lower back to keep him from falling. The burning-hot skin quickly turned the tips of Chu Mo's ears red. "You..."
Chu Mo took a deep breath. "I'll get you some pajamas."
Then he fled.
This little guy... was a bit too wild! He was rather hard to handle!
Ji Nanshu looked puzzled, but inside, he was practically doubled over with laughter.
Hahahahahaha... his dear sugar daddy really was... far too innocent!
Hey, could that domineering CEO act during the day have all been a front?!
Chu Mo brought Ji Nanshu some pajamas, then hurried back to the bedroom.
Ji Nanshu had expected some indescribable adults-only exercise, but instead, Chu Mo snapped off the light and coldly uttered, "Go to sleep!"
Ji Nanshu's face was full of resentment.
Could you be impotent?!! If something's wrong, say so! Don't you understand early detection and early treatment?
Perhaps sensing Ji Nanshu's resentment, Chu Mo pulled him against his chest and slapped his bottom. "Behave."
The crisp smack left Ji Nanshu stunned for a long time, overwhelmed with humiliation and indignation.
Luckily, it was nighttime. Luckily, the lights were off and no one could see. Otherwise, Ji Nanshu might have bitten Chu Mo to death.
Ji Nanshu angrily buried his face in Chu Mo's chest. Fine, sleep it was! Hmph!
Don't regret it! (｀⌒´メ)!
After Ji Nanshu fell asleep, however, Chu Mo quietly opened his eyes, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.
Because of Chu Mo's phone call, his manager Yun Sheng hadn't slept well all night. Early the next morning, he headed straight to Chu Mo's home with workers carrying a sofa.
The moment he came in, he began shouting, "Hey, Chu Mo, have you been dating behind my back?!"
Chu Mo frowned and snapped in a low voice, "Keep your voice down!"
Yun Sheng instantly fell silent, then cautiously asked Chu Mo, "You... aren't actually dating someone, are you?!"
Dating?
Chu Mo considered it briefly, then nodded firmly. "Yes!"
"Awooo-"
Yun Sheng collapsed onto the sofa in anguish. "Who?! Who is it?! What little vixen managed to catch your eye?"
The seductive sight of Ji Nanshu after his shower last night flashed through Chu Mo's mind. He really was... a little vixen.
When Chu Mo didn't answer, Yun Sheng didn't press him. Instead, he said, "Let me get this straight first. If someone photographs you two together, do we deny the relationship or acknowledge it?"
Chu Mo nodded without hesitation. "Acknowledge it."
Since he was dating someone, of course he had to take responsibility.
He wasn't going to be a scumbag!
Ji Nanshu, still asleep: Wait, what? Wasn't this supposed to be a sugar daddy arrangement? How did it turn into dating? Didn't he deserve advance notice?!
Guys, who gets it?! One night's sleep, and he'd had a boyfriend forced on him!
Even by the time Chu Mo began ushering him out, Yun Sheng still hadn't met the so-called "little vixen."
Yun Sheng clenched his fist. Ugh, a miscalculation. Next time, he'd come a little later. Then he'd definitely get to see what this little vixen looked like!
Not long after Yun Sheng left, Ji Nanshu woke up, roused by a relentless barrage of calls from the original owner's manager.
As soon as he answered, an angry roar came from the other end. "Ji Nanshu!!!!! You little brat!! Where the hell did you run off to instead of staying home?!"
Utterly bewildered, Ji Nanshu moved the phone farther away and looked closely... Liang You?
Ah... she seemed to be the original owner's manager?
He called tentatively, "Sister Youyou?"
"Youyou my ass!!" Liang You continued roaring. "Get your ass back here!!"
Damn it, that little brat Ji Nanshu never gave her a moment's peace, and now he even dared to stay out all night?!
Thank goodness nothing had happened!! Otherwise, that bastard Lin Kai'an would have bitten him to death!!
Ji Nanshu carefully recalled the original owner's shabby little home, then glanced at his sugar daddy's bedroom. He answered decisively, "I moved! The very top floor of Qingyan Garden!"
Then he quickly hung up.
Liang You was baffled. Huh? Was Lin Kai'an splurging this much on a home for his lover now?
Ji Nanshu, who had inexplicably acquired yet another lover, ran barefoot out of the bedroom and straight into Chu Mo's arms as he came up to call him to breakfast.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
Chu Mo picked him up.
Ji Nanshu tilted his head, nuzzled Chu Mo's chest, and lifted one leg. "Hey, pretty, right?"
Chu Mo gave Ji Nanshu an inscrutable glance. "Yes. Go eat breakfast."
Hopefully, when the time came... he could be just as seductive.
While they were eating breakfast, the doorbell rang again-
