Chapter 21: Boyfriend and Girlfriend

Zhai Mo withdrew his smile and expressionlessly set down the document.

Yao Zuizui spoke up first: “Bro, I’ve already notarized it with the lawyer—I’m giving up my inheritance rights.”

She didn’t want to die! And she couldn’t kill Zhai Mo either.

What else could she do but compromise?

Besides, managing such a massive company was such a hassle. If someone was willing to take it on, she’d be more than happy to relax.

Hearing her words, Zhai Mo was genuinely surprised.

His pupils contracted slightly as if he was starting to ponder her motives.

“Bro, you’re my brother! We’re family—does it really matter who’s in charge? Plus, you know how lazy I am…” Yao Zuizui muttered under her breath.

In Zhai Mo’s eyes, this younger brother suddenly seemed more and more adorable.

He also recalled how Zhai Zuozuo seemed to have feelings for him.

Listening to him declare so earnestly, “You’re my brother!” Zhai Mo’s heart felt like it was being drilled into by a relentless auger.

Did he really just see him as a brother?

How was that possible?

If he truly thought of him as a brother, would he really hand over a fortune worth billions without hesitation?

What a foolish little brother…

Zhai Mo couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

And just like that, Yao Zuizui really handed the entire company over to Zhai Mo.

After completing all the necessary procedures, she could finally live carefree as a leisurely spendthrift.

She had no intention of revealing her true gender to Zhai Mo, nor did she want to revert to it.

Because she believed that if Zhai Mo could fall in love with her regardless of gender, it would prove his love was purer, faster, and more thorough.

Yao Zuizui thought she was a genius.

After handing over management to Zhai Mo, she didn’t even bother with her own small company anymore—she tossed that over to him too.

Zhai Mo, at least, had some humanity.

He gave her a black card with unlimited spending, letting her splurge however she pleased.

Every day, Yao Zuizui ate, drank, played, and enjoyed herself, occasionally flirting with pretty girls and chatting about life.

Though many of those girls were airheads, their faces alone were enough to be pleasing to the eye.

No one could resist beautiful things—even though Yao Zuizui was a girl herself, she still loved admiring pretty women.

Since Zhai Mo had just taken over the company, he was swamped with work, so she didn’t disturb him.

She amused herself every day and was perfectly content.

But what Yao Zuizui didn’t know was that the first thing Zhai Mo did after taking power was investigate him.

**[Zhai Corporation – Chairman’s Office]**

“President Zhai, all the information regarding your younger brother, Mr. Zhai Zuozuo, has been compiled here,” the assistant said respectfully.

“Hmm.” Zhai Mo picked up the thick stack of papers and flipped through them rapidly, his eyes scanning the pages.

Truthfully, none of this was what he really cared about. What he wanted to know was…

Why wasn’t it here?

Frowning, Zhai Mo looked up at the assistant. “Why is there nothing about his romantic history?”

This assistant, surnamed Zhou, had been Zhai Zuozuo’s personal aide. Logically, he should know everything about him.

That was precisely why Zhai Mo had promoted him to his own staff—on the condition that Zhou provide every detail about Zhai Zuozuo’s past.

“Well…” Assistant Zhou hesitated. “Because President Zhai—er, former President Zhai—had too many romantic entanglements. If I were to list them all, it’d take hundreds of pages, so I didn’t enumerate them one by one.”

Zhai Mo’s face darkened like the bottom of a pot.

“Hundreds?” His voice was icy.

“Y-yes…” Assistant Zhou’s teeth chattered slightly. Zhai Mo wasn’t as easygoing as Zhai Zuozuo—his temper was unpredictable. Sure, the former president had been a bit of a playboy, but was that really worth getting so angry about?

“Actually, it’s more than just hundreds. Since former President Zhai was sixteen, he’s been changing girlfriends every few days. But I’ve only been working for him since later, so I only know about a few hundred.” Assistant Zhou unwittingly poured fuel on the fire.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop further. Zhai Mo suppressed the urge to flip the table. “Wasn’t there even one who stood out? Someone worth reporting in detail?”

“No.” Assistant Zhou shook his head like a rattle drum. “I never saw former President Zhai treat any girl differently. They’d play around for a few days, then break up.”

Only then did Zhai Mo’s expression ease slightly.

Then, as if possessed, he blurted out another question: “Then… did he ever have any boyfriends?”

The moment the words left his mouth, he felt like an idiot.

Because Assistant Zhou was looking at him with the exact same expression.

Assistant Zhou reflexively answered, “How could that be possible?”

But then he immediately remembered the company’s rumors.

Considering President Zhai’s strange behavior just now… could those rumors be true?

Did former President Zhai and President Zhai really…?

But that couldn’t be—they were brothers!

Wait, no, they weren’t blood-related!

Assistant Zhou’s head spun, his mind in complete disarray.

He’d never believed the company gossip before because he’d seen firsthand how many girls Zhai Zuozuo flirted with and how many girlfriends he’d had. There was no way he liked men.

But now…

Watching Assistant Zhou’s increasingly bewildered expression, Zhai Mo grew even angrier.

That good-for-nothing didn’t like men at all!

It had all been his own misunderstanding!

That useless bastard didn’t like men?!

For the rest of the day, that single question haunted his thoughts.

So much so that, that night, he had an unspeakable dream.

In the dream, he saw…

Himself as that good-for-nothing’s boyfriend.

And then…

He kissed him.

Soft, like cake.

Sweet, like milk.

Delicious, like candy.

So good that he didn’t want to let go.

Everything about it was surreal.

But the dream didn’t stop there.

He also dreamed of…

What naturally followed after the kiss.

When he woke up, his underwear was damp, and the air was thick with the scent of hawthorn flowers.

Zhai Mo sat on the bed, dazed for a long time.

The dream had felt too real—too… unforgettable.

He actually sat there, lost in thought.

When he finally snapped out of it, his expression was grim.

He’d actually had a wet dream… because of that good-for-nothing?

Unacceptable!

Thinking about it, Zhai Mo realized he hadn’t seen that useless bastard in days.

Before, they’d done everything together—eating meals, going to work.

But now? He was nowhere to be found.

And yet, he was dreaming about him?

The more Zhai Mo thought about it, the more furious he became. He threw off the covers, cleaned himself up, and without a second’s delay, stormed out of his room and straight to Zhai Zuozuo’s.

He had so many questions for that good-for-nothing.

Luckily, it was the weekend—he had time.

He’d get all the answers today!
