Chapter 136 Mr. Jiang's Jealousy
When Jiang Haochen learned that Chi Yuan wouldn't be coming back tonight, he had a moment of impulse to go back to City B as well.
After hesitating for a while, I finally held back.
After realizing he liked Chi Yuan, Jiang Haochen suddenly understood many things he hadn't noticed before.
That morning he called Chi Yuan and said that he had also returned to City B. Chi Yuan's first reaction was to apologize to him, saying that he did not know that he had returned to City B, so he was not staying in that apartment.
Therefore, for Chi Yuan, going back meant needing services, needing Chi Yuan to leave his home and move into an apartment.
At that moment, Jiang Haochen was actually frustrated.
Jiang Haochen didn't have much experience, but he had seen a lot. Cui Dong had kept quite a few mistresses, and those who had been with Cui Dong and then broke up with him, those who had fared slightly better, would act very distant when they met Cui Dong again at events.
Last year, a female celebrity married the heir of the Fang Group. Cui Dong received an invitation but did not attend the wedding.
At the time, Cui Dong complained to him, "This bride is a minor celebrity I used to keep five years ago. I never imagined she would marry into a wealthy family just a few years later. But if she hadn't messaged me begging me not to attend the wedding, I really wouldn't have remembered who she is."
Jiang Haochen: "Why wouldn't she let you attend the wedding?"
Cui Dong: "You don't understand. No matter how well she's doing now, as long as I appear in front of her, she'll automatically revert to that little starlet who needed me to support her. I'm her dark history, so naturally she doesn't want to see me when she gets married."
Jiang Haochen felt choked up whenever he thought that in Chi Yuan's mind, he might also have a dark past.
"Teacher Chi is trending on social media."
"I saw it too, it's a really cool photo."
"Could it be that he and Actor Yan are really together? They're such a perfect match."
……
A sudden murmur of conversation interrupted Jiang Haochen's thoughts. He turned his head and looked towards the source of the sound. Several costume designers were gathered together, excitedly discussing something on their phones.
Chi Yuan, trending on social media?
Jiang Haochen took out his phone, opened Weibo, and saw the trending topics.
[The Royal Power Couple is officially announced!]
Jiang Haochen's finger involuntarily clicked on it, and what he saw was the short video that Chi Yuan had just uploaded.
He watched as the boy awoke from his dream with a start, looking lost and as if he had lost something precious. He then hurriedly ran out the door and, in the bustling crowd, bumped into a man's arms.
The short video is beautifully shot, with the camera slowly descending along a black umbrella, accompanied by music and raindrops dripping from the umbrella tip, revealing two handsome faces under the umbrella.
"His Majesty?"
The boy's cry of "Your Majesty!" and the emotions that Yan Chuan instantly evoked filled this short video, which was only thirty-odd seconds long, with a strong sense of destiny.
{This is killing me! This is killing me!!}
{I don't know why, but this short, thirty-second video made me feel so hot and bothered that I wanted to go downstairs and run five kilometers.}
{Me too!!!}
{Kill me to entertain you.}
{At the end of "Imperial Power," General Ling died on the battlefield. I almost didn't want to continue, but now... I'm satisfied, sob sob sob~~}
He didn't die; he simply returned to the modern world and is with His Majesty.
{Yes, yes, in ancient times, His Majesty had an Empress; only in modern times can he marry the young general.}
Did you notice? His Majesty's gaze seemed to carry a memory, as if he had been searching for General Ling for over a thousand years.
{Now that you say that, I'm going to cry, sob sob sob...}
{I don't care, they're real.}
This is practically an official announcement.
Why is it only 36 seconds long? Ugh! Can't we have a modern version made into a TV series?
{Me too... I've watched it dozens of times already.}
{While I'm reluctant to see Yuanbao in a relationship, I might reluctantly approve if it's with Actor Yan.}
With a loud "bang," Jiang Haochen slammed his phone onto the table. If it weren't for the phone case cushioning the impact, the new phone would probably be ruined by that force.
The three costume designers who were excitedly discussing something nearby immediately fell silent when they saw President Jiang get angry, and each of them left with a piece of clothing in their arms.
There was no one around, but Jiang Haochen still felt short of breath.
Didn't you dislike creating on-screen couple pairings? Why are you doing it with Yan Chuan?
She hesitated to post a photo of herself on Weibo, yet she was willing to film this kind of video with Yan Chuan?
If it were anyone else, Jiang Haochen wouldn't be this angry, but that was Yan Chuan. At the Banana TV gala that year, Yan Chuan told him personally that he had his eye on Chi Yuan.
Why film this kind of video? Why smile at him like that? Why look at Yan Chuan with those eyes?
Jiang Haochen's mind kept flashing back to the last moment the two of them looked at each other in the video, and he wished he could rush into the video and separate them.
Jiang Haochen was angry, frustrated, but mostly aggrieved.
He was trying hard to change his relationship with Chi Yuan, trying to give Chi Yuan equality and respect, but what about Chi Yuan...?
Regardless of respect or waiting, he wanted to see Chi Yuan right now.
He forbade Chi Yuan from looking at any man other than him with that kind of gaze.
By the time Jiang Haochen realized what was happening, he was already on the highway.
When the car arrived in City B, Jiang Haochen gradually calmed down. Just as he was hesitating about what excuse to use to find Chi Yuan, a news article popped up on his phone.
[The Royal Power Couple had a late-night dinner.]
Jiang Haochen opened the news and immediately recognized the location from the photos.
It's a private restaurant in City B, members-only. Because of its privacy, many celebrities often dine there.
Jiang Haochen started the car and drove towards the private restaurant.
=
Inside the private restaurant, Yan Chuan and Chi Yuan were being led inside by a waiter.
The dinner party was Qian Lei's suggestion. He and Li Weiran had finished discussing the endorsement deal quite late, so they suggested going out to celebrate.
Having just finalized the collaboration, Li Weiran couldn't very well refuse. Considering that there weren't many people involved, including assistants and artists from both sides, he agreed.
As the group was walking into the private room, a private room suddenly opened halfway through, and the group poured out.
The previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent upon seeing Yan Chuan and his group. The man at the head of the group rushed over to greet Yan Chuan warmly.
"Actor Yan, what a coincidence, you're here for dinner too."
Yan Chuan glanced at him, then at the group of people behind him, smiled slightly, but did not reach out to shake hands, only nodded: "President Liu, what a coincidence."
Chi Yuan wasn't interested in the people who suddenly appeared, but the corridor was too narrow, and since they had bumped into each other, he had no choice but to look. He just glanced around casually, and surprisingly, he spotted a familiar face in the crowd.
Li Rui.
Li Rui seemed to be feeling unwell; his face was pale and his back was hunched.
Li Rui noticed Chi Yuan looking at him and looked up at him.
Chi Yuan thought that since they were acquaintances, he nodded and greeted them, but was met with a fierce glare from the other party.
Chi Yuan frowned, but said nothing.
Yan Chuan and Qian Lei had already finished exchanging pleasantries with the other party. As they passed each other, Yan Chuan deliberately slowed down a step and used his body to block Chi Yuan, allowing Chi Yuan to walk past from the other side of the corridor.
Once inside the private room, Qian Lei cursed, "That room was filthy. Remember the name, and never book that room again."
Xiao Zhao asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Seeing Xiao Zhao's naive appearance, Zhu Feng couldn't help but remind him, "You should avoid those people from now on; they're not good people."
Thinking back to Li Rui's behavior just now, Chi Yuan suddenly understood why Li Rui had glared at him.
Xiao Zhao is straight and doesn't know what it's like for a man to go weak in the knees after being fucked. He naively asks, "What does being a bad person have to do with the private dining room?"
Qian Lei glanced at him and said with a smile, "It's a good thing we don't know."
Chi Yuan didn't want to hear about this topic, so he got up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
In the restroom, Chi Yuan heard someone vomiting in a stall, but didn't think much of it. While washing his hands, the stall door opened, and a person walked out, meeting Chi Yuan's gaze—it was Li Rui.
Chi Yuan knew that Li Rui didn't want to see him at this moment, so he didn't say hello and turned to leave.
Suddenly, Li Rui rushed up and grabbed his hand: "What are you so high and mighty for? Aren't you just a kept woman too? What, Jiang, the movie star, doesn't want you anymore, so you've hooked up with Yan, the movie star?"
Li Rui was so weak from being fucked that he could barely stand, and Chi Yuan simply swayed him and threw him away.
Chi Yuan gave him a pitying look, then turned and left.
Li Rui cursed and swore for a while before leaving the restroom. After the two of them left together, the innermost stall opened, and Xie Lingzhou came out.
