Chi Cheng, is a cold CEO feared in boardrooms-at day but at night, he drowns in liquor and meaningless sex. Emotionally numb and haunted by trauma, nothing ever lingers. Until one night changes everything. Wu Suowei, 22, is barely making ends meet, juggling exhausting late-night jobs. While working a late night shift, his best friend shuai offers him a high-paying opportunity-twice from his other jobs combined. Desperate, Wu agrees without question. Only to realize-too late-that it's a gay bar. But the pay is too good. And he's too desperate to walk away. Later, during a particularly difficult evening, a persistent customer pressures him to drink. Wu hesitates-remembering what happened the last time he said no. Swallowing his pride-and the liquor. One drink turns into several. Unsteady and disoriented, he stumbles down a hallway, barely able to stay on his feet... Until a hand catches him by the waist just before he collapses. Chi Cheng But Chi, known for never showing compassion, surprises even himself. Leads the boy to a quiet room upstairs. He intends to leave,-but the drunk stranger grabs his wrist and pulls him into bed. Chi could have easily escaped his hold. But that night, something is different. There's no resistance in him. Instead, he lets himself be held-and for the first time in years, he falls into a deep, dreamless sleep. By morning, the stranger is gone. No name. No trace. Just a cold space where warmth had briefly rested. Chi doesn't let go easily. He finds him. And when he does, there's no pretense. "Sleep with me," his voice quiet-nothing like the icy tone he uses with everyone else. "Name your price." Wu Suowei goes rigid "You think everything can be bought with money?!" He turns to leave, furious. But Chi's next words freeze him. "Two hundred thousand yuan." Wu Suowei's footsteps falter. The number hangs in the air like a loaded gun-impossible to ignore. He doesn't turn around. But he doesn't take another step, either.

This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.

Hiya, so I fell in love with the books 'after' by Anna todd! And throughout the whole series I couldn't help but wonder how it would have been for Zed to actually get a chance to date Tessa! He was so amazing in the books! and he deserved to at least have a shot. I'm a die hard HESSA FAN! so don't hate me, this is just for fun, so don't read if you don't want to. Basically just a little story of how life would of been if Hardin didn't answer Landon's phone calls while he was in London pushing Tessa away and Tessa had to move on about her fathers passing by herself. Tessa is such a forgiving character so this is kinda my version of how things could of turned out. This is completely just for fun. PLEASE BE AWARE THIS IS MY VERSION OF WHAT COULD OF HAPPENED. THIS IS MORE TO DO WITH THE WATTPAD BOOKS NOT THE PUBLISHED BOOKS I FEEL THE WATTPAD BOOKS ARE BETTER THEY GIVE A BETTER BACK ROUND OF HER AND ZEDS FRIENDSHIP. The published books left out so much important things I reckon. Credit of characters to Anna Todd!! Hope you enjoy if not, don't read it LOL :) 🙃
