My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 129 As long as I change, I will be forgiven.

Because he needed to get back to the film set early, Chi Yuan got up very early in the morning.

After washing up, he was about to call Xiao Zhao to ask when he would come to pick him up when a WeChat message suddenly popped up from Jiang Haochen.

Jiang Haochen: {Are you awake?}

Chi Yuan quickly replied: {I'm awake. I'll be back on set in a bit.}

As he spoke, he glanced at the shooting schedule again; the first scene of the day was at 9:30 a.m.

Chi Yuan added another message: {I can be back on set by 8:30, so it won't delay filming.}

After sending the message, Jiang Haochen called directly after a while.

Chi Yuan quickly answered, "Mr. Jiang, I'm here today..."

Jiang Haochen interrupted him: "I'm not here to urge you to go back to filming, or do you think I'm a very harsh producer?"

Chi Yuan quickly denied it: "No, that's not what I meant."

In the past, Jiang Haochen would have pressed him for an answer, asking, "What do you mean?" Then he would have teased Chi Yuan when he was at a loss, taking advantage of the situation. But now, he only felt sad.

What kind of impression did I give Chi Yuan that made him think I was only calling him for work?

Jiang Haochen tried hard to recall his time with Chi Yuan. Every morning he could remember was when he woke up holding the boy. Every morning was beautiful, but it seemed that there were very few simple conversations like this.

Jiang Haochen had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Were those beautiful mornings that he remembered equally beautiful in Chi Yuan's eyes? Or were they just there to accommodate him?

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize." Jiang Haochen used to love hearing the boy apologize to him like that, his voice soft, with an expression that said he was wrong and would do anything. But now, Jiang Haochen felt like a jerk. Why did the boy apologize on his own after just a moment of silence? What had he done to him?

Jiang Haochen composed himself and said gently, "...I just wanted to ask if you wanted to come back to the film set with me. I'm going back to City B too."

Chi Yuan's eyes widened in surprise: "You're back in City B too?"

Jiang Haochen proactively reported, "Yes, I got back last night."

Chi Yuan: "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I didn't go back to my apartment last night."

Why apologize again?

In Chi Yuan's mind, does he have to live in an apartment as long as he is in City B?

Jiang Haochen kept telling himself that their relationship needed to change gradually, but he couldn't help feeling angry and heartbroken.

Jiang Haochen: "Chi Yuan, you don't need to live in the apartment all the time."

There was a momentary pause on the other end of the phone, followed by a soft "Okay" from the boy.

Jiang Haochen frowned; why did Chi Yuan's voice sound so unhappy?

"Then...would you like to go back to the film set together? I'll drive to pick you up," Jiang Haochen asked again.

Chi Yuan: "You've come to pick me up?"

Jiang Haochen: "If you don't mind."

Chi Yuan: "I..."

Jiang Haochen: "I really want to pick you up."

He was afraid the boy would refuse him because he didn't want to trouble him, his "sugar daddy," so he spoke first before the boy could.

Sure enough, the boy on the other end of the phone could only agree: "Okay."

Jiang Haochen finally showed his first smile of the morning: "Give me the address?"

He didn't want the boy to know that he already knew his home address.

A moment later, Chi Yuan sent over the address. Jiang Haochen drove towards the residential area where Chi Yuan lived. As soon as he arrived downstairs, he saw the boy waiting at the entrance of the building.

The boy was wearing a light-colored hoodie, and the smile he gave when he saw him was even brighter than the forsythia beside him.

Jiang Haochen got out of the car before Chi Yuan ran over.

"Mr. Jiang." Chi Yuan had no choice but to change direction and ran to Jiang Haochen first, greeting him with a smile.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Mr. Jiang was very different today. His clothing style was also very different from usual, and he was even wearing accessories.

Jiang Haochen pulled out a bag of breakfast from behind him and handed it to Chi Yuan: "Breakfast."

Chi Yuan accepted the gift with a flattered expression, saying, "Thank you."

Is it really that surprising that it's just breakfast?

His mood, which had brightened upon seeing the boy, suddenly dimmed again, but he quickly recovered.

It's okay, I'll just deliver it to him a few more times until he takes it for granted.

Jiang Haochen: "Get in the car."

Chi Yuan walked around for a while before finally sitting in the passenger seat. With breakfast in his hand, it was difficult to fasten his seatbelt. Just as he was about to put his food on his lap before fastening his seatbelt, Jiang Haochen suddenly reached out, brushed his fingers across the boy's cheek, pulled out the seatbelt, and fastened it for him.

It was a very natural action, and this wasn't even the first time Jiang Haochen had helped Chi Yuan fasten his seatbelt, but Chi Yuan just felt that something was different, especially the look Jiang Haochen gave him when he pulled the seatbelt out, which made his heart race involuntarily.

And then there was that fleeting glimpse of his pectoral muscles peeking out from his collar.

Chi Yuan swore he didn't look at it on purpose; it was just that when Mr. Jiang leaned over, the necklace in his collar fell out, and his gaze was unconsciously drawn to it, causing him to glance at it briefly.

No, I can't blush. What if Mr. Jiang notices?

To avoid arousing Jiang Haochen's suspicion, Chi Yuan kept his head down and showed off his breakfast.

Jiang Haochen chuckled and teased, "Is breakfast this delicious?"

Chi Yuan nodded: "It's delicious."

Jiang Haochen: "I haven't had breakfast yet either, could you share some with me?"

Chi Yuan was taken aback: "Mr. Jiang, you haven't had breakfast?"

Jiang Haochen: "Yes, because I was in a hurry to pick someone up."

Is it because of myself?

Chi Yuan: "I'm sorry."

Jiang Haochen felt as if his breath had been forced out of his chest.

I'm expressing my affection for you, not blaming you. Can't you tell at all?

Jiang Haochen: "I was just kidding, I've already eaten."

Chi Yuan then relaxed his brows and eyes.

Jiang Haochen sighed. "Never mind, let's take it slow."

"By the way, can you help me with navigation? My phone is broken." As he spoke, Jiang Haochen took out his phone with the cracked screen to show Chi Yuan, to prove that his phone was really broken.

Chi Yuan stared in surprise at the spiderweb-like shattered phone screen and asked, "How did it get so broken?"

Jiang Haochen: "I smashed it."

砸？

Remembering what Xiao Zhao had said yesterday about Mr. Jiang losing his temper on set, Chi Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Why did he smash his phone?"

Jiang Haochen: "Because I did something wrong."

Chi Yuan subconsciously comforted him, "Everyone makes mistakes, don't take it too seriously."

Jiang Haochen turned to look at Chi Yuan and asked seriously, "Are you forgiving me?"

What do you mean I'm forgiving? Does it mean I'm meddling in other people's business?

Just as Chi Yuan was about to overthink things again, Jiang Haochen suddenly chuckled: "You're right, everyone makes mistakes. I'll correct them in the future, right?"

Chi Yuan nodded: "Mm."

Jiang Haochen asked confidently, "If I change, the other person will definitely forgive me, right?"

Chi Yuan: "Yes."

Jiang Haochen smiled and said, "Okay."

Chi Yuan blinked, feeling that something was off about the conversation, but seeing that Mr. Jiang's mood had improved, he stopped thinking about it.

Jiang Haochen: "Mr. Chi."

The sudden address startled Chi Yuan: "Huh?"

Jiang Haochen: "Could you please give me directions?"

Chi Yuan realized what was happening and quickly took out his phone for navigation. To make it easier for Jiang Haochen to check the route, he placed it directly on the car mount.

At this moment, two WeChat messages from Xiao Zhao popped up one after another.

Xiao Zhao: {You left with President Jiang? Did President Jiang stay at your place last night?}

Xiao Zhao: {He chased after us for just one night, was he sexually frustrated and that's why he threw a tantrum on set?}

Chi Yuan: "..."

Jiang Haochen: "Aren't you going to remind him?"

Chi Yuan then snapped out of his daze, grabbed his phone, and immediately blocked Xiao Zhao.

After putting the phone back, Chi Yuan was so embarrassed he wanted to jump out of the car.

Compared to Chi Yuan, Jiang Haochen's focus was completely different: "Do you know I lost my temper on set yesterday?"

Chi Yuan couldn't pretend to be dead, so he nodded: "Mm."

Jiang Haochen: "So that's why you messaged me to wish me a good mood?"

Chi Yuan nodded again: "Mm."

How could you comfort me after what happened yesterday?

A bittersweet feeling welled up in Jiang Haochen's heart: "Thank you."

Chi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then his beautiful eyes curved into crescents: "You're welcome."
