After Falling for the Handsome CEO - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Fulfill the Transaction Right Now

Yan Yu had seen people cry before, but never like this. It left him momentarily dazed and uncertain, staring blankly at the youth.

He didn’t seem to understand why Shen Jin was shedding tears.

Shen Jin knew he must look pathetic right now. He didn’t expect Yan Yu to be moved; if anything, it would only make the man despise him more.

So, he reached out and wiped his own tears. His nose was still red, and his voice carried a thick nasal quality as he offered a transparent explanation: “It’s nothing. I… I cry all the time.”

Shen Jin knew that if he didn’t make things clear, Yan Yu would never let it go. He gradually forced himself to calm down, pushing away the memories of those sweet moments—moments he could no longer tell were real or fake—and told himself to live in the present.

The present, which was full of cracks and dripping with blood.

“Say what you want…” Shen Jin didn’t look at his face. He merely moved his lips and whispered, “I’m listening…”

He wanted to explain everything and settle it; he thought it might make life easier. But then he remembered Yan Yu’s command to look him in the eye. After a moment of internal self-mockery, he forced himself to meet the man’s gaze.

Facing those bloodshot eyes, Yan Yu found himself speechless. His heart was a chaotic mess of emotions. For a split second, he actually felt an urge to pull the boy into his arms to comfort him—to kiss away his tears.

But the thought vanished as quickly as it appeared.

Why should I!

“If you won’t speak, then I will…” Shen Jin choked back a sob and exhaled, trying his best to stay steady, though his speech remained halting. “I’m poor… I have no money. I need money… desperately. Life is hard… and we aren’t from the same world. We shouldn’t have any intersection. The transaction we talked about… let’s just forget it.”

He called it a transaction, but in reality, Shen Jin had only taken that one check for 100,000 yuan the very first time. He hadn’t taken a penny of Yan Yu’s money since.

Back then, Yan Yu had asked for his account number, but because the two of them had been so “affectionate” in that dilapidated room, the matter of money was forgotten. Afterward, they met and stayed in touch frequently, and their intimate encounters were many.

Perhaps because Yan Yu felt it hadn’t officially ended, he hadn’t given him more money. This had actually brought a secret sweetness to Shen Jin’s heart, because he had begun to believe they were actually dating…

“Forget… forget it?” Shen Jin’s words snapped Yan Yu out of his daze. Anger flashed across his handsome face. He grabbed Shen Jin by the collar and jerked him forward. “Who do you think you are?! Is this for you to decide?!”

Yan Yu roared, “I set the terms of the transaction! Now I’m adding a new rule: without my permission, you have no right to end it! Now, we are going to continue fulfilling the contents of that transaction!”

He was beyond livid. Ignoring Shen Jin’s state of total exhaustion and frailty, he grabbed the boy’s arm and dragged him violently toward the bedroom: “Fulfill it now!!”

“What are you doing?!” Fear gripped Shen Jin’s heart. The pulling was excruciating, making his previous injuries scream in pain. His eyes turned red with anger as he yelled, “Let go! Let me go! I haven’t taken your money since the very beginning! Don’t go too far!”

He screamed so loud his voice went hoarse. His throat burned, and he could barely make a sound, but because his body was so weak, he could only be dragged crudely into the room and thrown violently onto the bed!

Shen Jin had already been injured at the bar. Being tossed so roughly onto the bed agitated his wounds again, causing a pained groan to escape his lips. He curled into a ball on the bed, trembling as he hugged himself.

Yan Yu’s face was dark. He reached up and loosened his tie, his gaze filled with mockery. He sneered, “So it really is a matter of money! You’re unhappy because I forgot to pay you, so you couldn’t wait to find a new sugar daddy to keep you, is that it?!”

He ripped off his tie and threw it on the floor, looking down at the boy with a haughty, contemptuous expression. “I’ll give you money! Serve me well, and you won’t have to worry about cash! It just so happens I like how insatiable and slutty you are in bed! Otherwise, why do you think I spent so much time with you?”

Shen Jin’s pupils shrank violently, then his eyes dropped. His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, as he bit his dry lips.

Yan Yu’s words were like a blade, stabbing repeatedly into the softest part of his heart until it was a bloody, mangled mess.

He knew he was just a tool for venting desire while the novelty lasted, but hearing it directly from Yan Yu’s mouth… Shen Jin realized the wound was deeper than he had ever imagined.

As his clothes were roughly torn away, Shen Jin didn’t resist. He stared hollowly at the ceiling, his voice raspy and broken: “I don’t want your money… you can… play with me…”

“But after this time, everything… everything between us is settled and done… okay?”

…I’m begging you.
