My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 152 Jiang's Biggest Stumbling Block

Because he had to rush back to filming, Chi Won left the apartment very early.

Chi Yuan cried so much yesterday that his eyes were swollen and he looked listless and lacked energy.

Seeing Chi Yuan's reaction, Li Weiran gave Xiao Zhao a wink. Xiao Zhao immediately understood, parked at a convenience store after leaving the residential area, and bought an ice pack for cold compresses.

Li Weiran: "There are still two hours left on the way back, so I'll put some compresses on my eyes."

Seeing that Li Weiran's expression was unnatural, Chi Yuan knew that they had guessed the reason. His face also felt a little hot, so he covered his face with an ice pack, leaned back in his chair, and quietly took a nap.

About half an hour later, Xiao Zhao, who was driving in the front seat, suddenly asked, "Brother Chi, where are the clothes from the brand? People in the group are asking about them."

Celebrities usually borrow their red carpet outfits from brands. Chi Yuan's outfit was borrowed from Tianyu's styling team, and since the event is over tonight, it will naturally have to be returned.

Chi Yuan removed the ice pack from his face, his expression becoming even more awkward.

He was supposed to take off his clothes and return them to the company when he left the venue, but he wanted Mr. Jiang to see him, so...

Thinking about the clothes that were ruined last night, I definitely won't be going back.

Chi Yuan: "I want to keep the clothes for myself. Let's ask how much they cost and then we'll buy them."

Xiao Zhao advised, "Brother Chi, why are you buying that thing? That outfit costs hundreds of thousands, and you can't even wear it regularly. It's a waste of money."

Even though Chi Yuan was already wealthy, he still felt a pang of pain when he heard that it cost hundreds of thousands. Sleeping with Mr. Jiang once seemed quite expensive.

Chi Yuan: "I can't pay it back."

With just those four words, the two understood the reason, and an awkward silence fell over the car once again.

Chi Yuan had nothing to be ashamed of. He remembered that the brooch Mr. Jiang had given him was still on his clothes, so he quickly got up, took the clothes from the back pocket, and carefully removed the brooch.

"I forgot to return the brooch to Mr. Jiang." After learning the significance of the brooch, Chi Yuan wanted to return it to Mr. Jiang. However, in the midst of their passionate encounter last night, he had forgotten. "Sister Ran, please avoid contacting K Jewelry for the time being."

Li Weiran glared at Chi Yuan: "Why?"

Chi Yuan: "Mr. Jiang said this is a return gift for the phone, but it's too much of a gift, I can't accept it."

Li Weiran: "Are you serious?"

Chi Yuan nodded.

Last time it was Star Journey, this time it's K Jewelry. Li Weiran wished she could pry open her artist's head to see what kind of stuff was inside.

Li Weiran felt she couldn't pretend to be confused any longer: "Chi Yuan, you like President Jiang, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao got excited and slammed on the brakes.

Li Weiran snapped irritably, "If you can't drive, then pull over to the side of the road."

Xiao Zhao actually pulled over and got on the highway immediately. He was really afraid that he might get excited on the highway and cause some kind of problem.

A flicker of panic crossed Chi Yuan's eyes: "I didn't."

Li Weiran: "If you don't like him, why worry about the value of the gift? You're his kept woman. It's only natural for a sugar daddy to give a gift to appease his mistress, isn't it? You're with President Jiang because you want his resources, aren't you? Now that such great resources are in your hands, you think this is too expensive and that is inappropriate, and you're rushing to give them back, afraid of taking advantage of President Jiang. What's the point?"

Yes……

Chi Yuan was speechless.

Li Weiran sighed: "Other mistresses would avoid going to be with their sugar daddies unless they had something in mind. But you, every time you come to President Jiang's place, you're always beaming with joy. You've never made me make an excuse to avoid it."

Chi Yuan wanted to argue, but he couldn't find an excuse, because he had just clearly told his agent that he didn't want President Jiang's resources.

Chi Yuan panicked: "Sister Ran."

His voice was pleading.

Li Weiran felt a pang of jealousy at his words, but still said with exasperation, "I warned you long ago not to fall for President Jiang."

Xiao Zhao actually had a vague feeling, but he wasn't sure. There was still something he didn't understand at this point.

"Sister Ran, it's not surprising that Brother Chi would like someone like President Jiang," Xiao Zhao chimed in.

Who wouldn't be tempted by a partner as wealthy, handsome, and gentle as President Jiang? That's why he followed Brother Chi for two years, witnessed Brother Chi being sexually exploited for two years, yet didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Even he, a straight man, felt that Chi Yuan wouldn't be at a disadvantage following President Jiang.

Li Weiran looked at Chi Yuan: "How long have you liked him?"

Chi Yuan remained silent, as if Li Weiran's guess could not be true unless he admitted it.

But Li Weiran is his agent, and he's seen Chi Yuan's sugar daddy contract: "You're afraid to admit it because the contract stipulates that it will automatically terminate once you fall for President Jiang?"

Chi Yuan's pupils contracted, and he firmly denied it: "I don't like Mr. Jiang. Sister Ran, I misspoke just now, I'm not returning the brooch."

Li Weiran sighed, but since things had already come to this point, she couldn't pretend she hadn't said anything: "You're unwilling to admit it because you know President Jiang won't like you. If you had even a little bit of confidence that President Jiang would like you, you wouldn't have had that attitude when you met Xie Lingzhou at GH."

Chi Yuan's face had lost all color. He had always known these things, but why did it still hurt so much when Li Weiran said them?

Xiao Zhao asked, puzzled, "Xie Lingzhou? What's your relationship with Xie Lingzhou? Wait... that rumor... did Xie Lingzhou and President Jiang really date?"

Xiao Zhao didn't know much about Xie Lingzhou and Jiang Haochen's past, but he had noticed that Xie Lingzhou and Jiang Haochen had trended on social media several times during Xie Lingzhou's return to China. He initially thought it was just a publicity stunt, but it turned out to be real.

Li Weiran: "You might not know this, but back then, President Jiang was pursuing Xie..."

Chi Yuan: "I know! Sister Ran, I know."

I knew that a long time ago.

Li Weiran: "You know that, so don't be silly. Don't think that just because President Jiang is nice to you and gives you resources, he likes you. The reason he gave you the K Jewelry endorsement is probably because I talked to him about my career last time."

Chi Yuan: "A path to stardom?"

Li Weiran: "I told him that you gave up your career and endorsements for him, and he said he would compensate you. Besides, your contract is about to expire, and as a generous sponsor, it's normal to give him some parting gifts."

Chi Yuan's hands and feet were ice-cold, as if all the blood in his body had frozen upon hearing those words.

So all of Mr. Jiang's recent kindness was just a breakup gift?

Li Weiran didn't want to provoke Chi Yuan any further, but a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one. He steeled himself and pulled out his last trump card: "This is the news from last night."

Chi Yuan mechanically glanced at his phone: [Jiang Yingdi meets Xie Lingzhou at night.]

Below the news article were two accompanying photos. Although the images were blurry, he recognized them at a glance. One was of Mr. Jiang, and the other was of Xie Lingzhou.

The two men were wearing the exact same clothes he had seen them in the previous night.

A sharp pain shot through my palm, and the dazzling diamond rose was stained red with blood.

Li Weiran: "Focus on finishing filming 'Chang Sheng'. When the contract expires, I'll help you get some jobs in other places. It won't be long."

Chi Yuan gave a bitter smile: "Okay."
