My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 113 Don't Touch My Candy Jar

"It's clean."

The sound coming from the phone wasn't loud, but the corridor was so quiet that Xie Lingzhou still heard it.

These four words don't sound ambiguous; at least, someone with a clean mind wouldn't misunderstand them. But Xie Lingzhou is an actor, and a pretty good one at that. He can tell from the tone and intonation of the lines.

Is that the little starlet named Chi Yuan seducing A-Chen?

"Ah Chen." Xie Lingzhou hadn't seen Jiang Haochen for a long time. It's said that it's hard for celebrities to maintain their condition after retiring from acting, but Jiang Haochen hadn't changed at all. In fact, he even had a bit more of the aura of a superior that he hadn't had before.

Fortunately, I have become better than before.

Jiang Haochen was stunned for a moment in the elevator. It wasn't until the elevator doors closed again that he reacted, blocked the closing elevator doors with his hand, and came out with his suitcase.

But he only came out and didn't continue forward. He frowned and silently looked at Xie Lingzhou who had suddenly appeared.

Xie Lingzhou: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see me?"

His tone carried just the right amount of grievance. In the past, whenever he spoke in this tone after an argument, Jiang Haochen would forgive him immediately.

"No." Jiang Haochen couldn't tell if he was happy or not; he was more surprised, but his upbringing wouldn't allow him to say anything rude.

These words were a welcome to Xie Lingzhou. He chuckled and reached out to take the item from Jiang Haochen's hand: "Is this a specialty brought back from Country S?"

Jiang Haochen instinctively tried to back away, but the elevator was right behind him, leaving little room to move. Xie Lingzhou grabbed the paper bag in his hand, and the two of them, one backward and the other forward, tore the paper bag apart with a "rip".

The contents of the bag fell to the ground instantly, the clattering sound echoing down the corridor.

Both of them were startled.

Xie Lingzhou was a little embarrassed and quickly squatted down to help pick them up. After picking up a few, he discovered that what had fallen out of the bag were various flavors of candy: "Why is it all candy? Did you buy it as gifts?"

He remembered that Ah Chen didn't like sweets, and neither did he, but he loved chocolate. Before, when Ah Chen came back from S country, he would always bring him lots of chocolate and tell the chocolatier to put less sugar in it. Simply because he didn't like completely sugar-free dark chocolate either.

At the same time, upstairs.

Chi Yuan was waiting for Jiang Haochen in the corridor.

He wanted Mr. Jiang to see him as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, so he waited at the elevator door early, watching the numbers go up floor by floor.

Finally, the elevator stopped downstairs. Knowing that Mr. Jiang would come up after putting down his luggage, Chi Yuan couldn't help but feel happy.

For the past month, he has been busy with work, which was his own choice. But in his spare time, he often thinks about the days he spent with Mr. Jiang in Country S during the Chinese New Year last year.

Those few days in Country S felt like a dream to him.

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from downstairs, along with the faint sound of voices. Chi Yuan suddenly felt uneasy. He glanced at the elevator, which had somehow returned to the first floor.

After thinking for a moment, Chi Yuan went back to his room, put on an outer robe, and ran downstairs from the stairwell. He took long strides and soon reached the bottom of the stairs. The moment he opened the stairwell door, he saw two people standing opposite each other through the crack in the door.

One is Mr. Jiang, and the other is Xie Lingzhou.

Even though they had never met in real life, Chi Yuan could recognize Xie Lingzhou at a glance, not only because Xie Lingzhou was very popular, but also because he was someone Mr. Jiang liked.

In the past six months, Xie Lingzhou has been in the news more often in China. At that time, he also heard others analyze that Xie Lingzhou was probably laying the groundwork for returning to China to develop his career.

Unexpectedly, he came back so soon after the Chinese New Year.

Just one glance was enough to send a flood of thoughts through Chi Yuan's mind, making him hesitate about whether he should go out at this moment.

Honestly, he wanted to go out. He didn't want Mr. Jiang to meet Xie Lingzhou; what if Xie Lingzhou snatched Mr. Jiang away?

But if he goes out, Mr. Jiang will be angry. If he still likes Xie Lingzhou, he would rather Mr. Jiang be unhappy than himself.

Jiang Haochen didn't answer Xie Lingzhou's question, but instead asked, "What is it?"

Xie Lingzhou: "Let me help you pick up your things first, then we can go inside and talk. It's been so many years since I've been back, I don't even know if the decoration of your house has changed."

Chi Yuan followed Xie Lingzhou's movements and looked down, only then realizing that the things scattered all over the ground were sugar jars.

The sugar jar that Mr. Jiang brought him.

Seeing Xie Lingzhou about to pick up the candy jar from the ground, Chi Yuan impulsively pushed open the door and walked out.

The sudden noise startled both of them, and when they saw it was Chi Yuan, they were both stunned.

Because Xie Lingzhou was squatting down picking something up, his gaze first fell on Chi Yuan's lower body, which was wearing slippers and a bathrobe, before moving up to the coat the boy was wearing. Although the coat covered him up quite well, at this time, with this outfit, and the fact that he looked like he had just taken a shower, it was obvious what he was about to do.

A game of using sex to please others.

A hint of contempt flashed in Xie Lingzhou's eyes, but he concealed it well, calmly standing up and turning to look at Chi Yuan. From Chi Yuan's perspective, his stance made it appear as if he and Mr. Jiang were together, and he was the disruptive intruder.

And it seems that this is indeed the case.

Chi Yuan stared at the jar of candy in Xie Lingzhou's hand, his eyes hardening.

Don't touch my candy; it's a New Year's gift Mr. Jiang brought me.

Chi Yuan wanted to shout it out, but he lacked the confidence and looked at Jiang Haochen with some helplessness.

Jiang Haochen: "Why did you come down?"

"I..." Chi Yuan glanced at Xie Lingzhou, answering in a way that was both provocative and overconfident, "I came to find you."

Jiang Haochen: "You go up first."

Jiang Haochen's tone wasn't harsh, but his words felt like a ton of bricks to Chi Yuan, making it hard for him to breathe.

Don't make me go up there.

Chi Yuan pleaded silently, but Jiang Haochen was no longer looking at Chi Yuan. Instead, he opened the door and said to Xie Lingzhou, "Come in and let's talk."

Before Xie Lingzhou entered the room, he even glanced at Chi Yuan. His gaze held no particular emotion, yet it felt like a knife cutting into Chi Yuan.

See, you're a joke.

Chi Yuan stood in the deserted corridor, looking at a can of candy that had rolled to a corner on the ground and had not been picked up. He felt like that candy can, discarded by Mr. Jiang.

Why throw away his candy jar?

What should I do?

Even if it's candy, he won't find it sweet anymore.

What should I do?
