That evening, taking advantage of the break while tutoring the youth, Shen Kui proactively brought up the matter of how he had entered the film crew.
Han Tang never expected that while he was still agonizing that morning over how to find an opportunity to claim his older brother’s credit as his own, Shen Kui would personally hand that opportunity right to him by nightfall!
Han Tang instantly perked up and nodded eagerly:
“Or else what did you think? Now you know just how formidable Young Master here really is, don’t you?”
“As long as you follow this young master, what kind of script could you possibly lack in the future? Have you considered my offer yet? Let me tell you, there are plenty of people lining up to follow this young master, so don’t you go biting the hand that feeds you!”
“Since I can throw money around to get you into the crew, I can just as easily have you replaced at any moment. You’d better think it over carefully!”
Seeing the youth brimming with fighting spirit, looking precisely like someone who had just accomplished a massive feat and returned home to demand praise from an adult, Shen Kui found it amusing in his heart.
Such youthful temperament.
Shen Kui didn’t take Han Tang’s threat to heart at all, merely looking at him with warm smiles playing in his eyes until he heard…
“Besides, there are plenty of people chasing after this young master, so don’t be ungrateful! Once this young master loses interest, even if you beg on your knees, I will…”
Hearing this, the amusement in Shen Kui’s eyes paused.
If he kept refusing, would the youth lose patience and simply move on to someone else to carry out his kept man plan?
Just like Zheng Qi.
Even though he spent a fortune to buy out the company and the person along with it, the moment he failed to get a definitive reply, the youth’s gaze would immediately shift to someone else.
Even though that someone else happened to be himself, how long could he truly hold the youth’s attention?
The mere thought of the youth casting that kind of focused gaze onto other people…
Shen Kui narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing through them.
Looking at Han Tang’s slightly rounded cheeks with lingering baby fat, his heart and eyes entirely filled with the youth, Shen Kui recalled their first meeting.
The youth had actively bumped into him, refusing to let go, and unguardedly babbled all those things to him. If he hadn’t arrived in time, would even this period of companionship have been directed toward someone else…
Wait! No!
Shen Kui furrowed his brow, and his expression sank even further.
He remembered!
No wonder that young man’s back had looked so familiar to him.
That person’s build was an exact match for the individual who had harbored malicious intentions while supporting the intoxicated youth that day!
Originally, Han Gui had arranged for him to stay by the youth’s side precisely because of the incident where the youth had nearly been plotted against and taken away by someone else that day. But now, he realized that Han Gui’s devotion to the youth might not be entirely pure either.
Looking at the youth’s innocent and naive face, Shen Kui’s mind raced at lightning speed as he suddenly hit upon an even better plan to infuriate that so-called father figure, so he replied:
“Alright.”
“…so don’t be ungrateful! I…” Han Tang’s chattering little mouth abruptly froze, convinced he had just misheard things:
“You, what did you just say?!”
Seeing Han Tang look like a startled little kitten, his large almond-shaped eyes wide open, mouth half-open to reveal the tip of a small tongue—a truly adorable sight—the gloomy emotions inside Shen Kui improved significantly.
The youth’s reaction was vastly entertaining. While Shen Kui appreciated it inwardly, on the surface he still maintained a heavy and troubled expression:
“I mean, could you give me a bit more time to think about it?”
He couldn’t let the youth get his way so easily, after all, he was well aware of the youth’s reputation for being a one-month lover.
“Sure, sure, take all the time you need to think it over!” Take your sweet time! Don’t rush at all!
That completely scared the wits out of him!
Han Tang felt cold in his hands and feet, a stiff smile frozen on his face.
Just a moment ago, he had actually hallucinated that the protagonist shou agreed to let him keep him as a sugar baby?! Thank goodness it was just a hallucination!
