My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 167 Assistant Chen Makes Amends

Clubhouse.

As soon as Shen Lian entered the private room, he saw Jiang Haochen drinking alcohol like water, his clothes wrinkled and slovenly.

As he took off his coat, he leaned closer to Cui Dong and asked, "What happened?"

Cui Dong: "The cat ran away."

Shen Lian: "Cat?"

Cui Dong: "The cat that endorses your cosmetics."

Shen Lian said "Oh," and then said, "that cat."

"So it was because you were dumped."

The words "heartbreak" hit Jiang Haochen's fragile nerves like a ball, and his bloodshot eyes immediately glared at him.

We're all powerful CEOs, who can be intimidated by just one look from you?

The two continued their conversation.

Cui Dong: "It's not heartbreak, it's being dumped."

"Bang!"

Jiang Haochen slammed his wine glass heavily on the table.

The two of them didn't even look over there.

Shen Lian: "Did you confess?"

Cui Dong: "It seems not."

Shen Lian: "Then it wasn't being dumped."

Cui Dong explained, "Xiao Mao's contract expired, and she left right at midnight, not staying a minute longer than necessary. Her luggage was all packed neatly, so it was obvious she was prepared to leave. Lao Jiang stayed up all night flying back from S City, eager to see her, but when he opened the door... you know what that means."

Shen Lian clicked his tongue: "That's a bit hurtful."

"That's enough, you two!" Jiang Haochen couldn't take it anymore and grabbed an orange from the fruit plate and threw it at them.

Cui Dong didn't dodge, nor was he angry. He picked up the orange and started peeling and eating it.

Shen Lian poured himself a glass of wine and asked Jiang Haochen, puzzled, "He just moved away, it's not like we can't find him. If you really like him, just go and ask him directly."

Jiang Haochen glanced at him, his face full of frustration.

Cui Dong: "He's chickened out."

Shen Lian raised an eyebrow: "This isn't like you. You weren't like this before."

Cui Dong: "I guess it's because he's getting old and cares about his reputation."

"puff!"

An arrow pierced Jiang Haochen's chest.

It's not that he's afraid to pursue someone or confess his feelings, but pursuing someone and confessing your feelings depends on the situation. If someone is clearly rejecting you, and you insist on confessing, that's just pestering them.

Jiang Haochen asked himself if he had made his intentions very clear during this period, but Chi Yuan still left so decisively, even going abroad the very next day. If it were just moving out of the apartment, he wouldn't be so sensitive, but Chi Yuan left the apartment right on time and went abroad immediately, without giving him any time to process what was going on.

He knew he would be back today, but he still left early. What else could it be but avoiding him?

If Chi Yuan hadn't been avoiding him, he could still convince himself that Chi Yuan might not have realized he was pursuing him, but Chi Yuan had avoided him, even going abroad to escape.

If this isn't a rejection, what else could it be?

She was willing to keep Chi Yuan as a mistress, but now that she's pursuing him, he's hiding away. What does that mean? Physical intimacy is fine, but emotional intimacy isn't? I can defile your body, but I can't defile your feelings, right?

Is Jiang Haochen really that much worse than the man in his heart?

Jiang Haochen grew angrier the more he thought about it, and downed another glass of wine in one gulp.

Seeing that he had finished drinking and was about to pour more, Cui Dong went over and snatched the wine away: "That's enough. You didn't sleep all night yesterday, drinking any more will make you die suddenly. If you really like him, I'll get him back for you later. I underestimated Chi Yuan. I thought he was a grateful person, but I didn't expect him to be such an ingrate. How much have you done for him lately?"

Chi Yuan's contract is still with Tianyu, and Cui Dong has many ways to bring Chi Yuan back to China.

Previously, out of respect for Jiang Haochen, Shen Lian gave Chi Yuan the endorsement of his company's cosmetics brand, so he knew some things about Chi Yuan recently.

Shen Lian thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so. If he were really an ingrate, seeing how much Lao Jiang likes him, he should cling to him even more. It's not like he hasn't slept with him before. He should keep Jiang Haochen on hold and slowly reap the benefits."

Cui Dong thought for a moment and felt that Shen Lian's words made sense, and was momentarily confused: "Then why is that?"

"What else could it be?" Jiang Haochen said self-deprecatingly, "Because he doesn't like me! He's not even willing to string me along."

This is what makes Jiang Haochen most upset.

If Chi Yuan were an ingrate, he wouldn't be so upset, but Chi Yuan isn't; he just doesn't like him. Even knowing he could gain enormous benefits from him, he doesn't covet them, simply because he has someone else in his heart.

The more Jiang Haochen understood this, the more distressed and jealous he became.

Shen Lian comforted him, "At least you've fallen for a pretty good person."

Shen Lian is a self-serving person, so he sees Chi Yuan's actions as extremely foolish. Jiang Haochen is undoubtedly an impeccable partner, and since Chi Yuan cannot be with the person he likes, choosing Jiang Haochen should be the most correct choice.

But such foolishness isn't necessarily offensive. In this world, it's incredibly difficult to find someone who has absolutely no intention of using you. Chi Yuan is essentially the same type of person as Jiang Haochen.

Cui Dong clicked his tongue: "I don't believe in any eternal true love in this world. You liked Xie Lingzhou so much back then, but you don't like him anymore, do you? He was with you for two years, I don't believe he had no feelings for you at all."

Jiang Haochen's eyes lit up: "You think he has feelings for me?"

Cui Dong didn't actually know either, but at this moment, he absolutely had to agree with his brother: "If he didn't have feelings for you, why would he avoid you? He could just reject you directly. The fact that he's avoiding you proves he doesn't want to hurt you. If he doesn't want to hurt you, doesn't that mean he cares about you?"

This seems to make sense too.

Cui Dong: "Caring is the beginning of liking. Why don't you give it another try? Anyway, he still has three years left on his contract with our company."

In Cui Dong's view, love is just a momentary infatuation; as time goes on, one naturally cools down. In three years, a normal person would have changed partners several times; how could they remain infatuated for so long?

Jiang Haochen got completely drunk at the club, and Cui Dong had to take him home in the end. Having not slept a wink the night before, Jiang Haochen slept until noon the next day.

While he was fast asleep, Chi Yuan's plane landed smoothly at the airport in Country M.

Although he was determined to leave Mr. Jiang and stop causing him trouble, the moment he turned on his phone after getting off the plane, he still longed to see a message from Mr. Jiang.

Even if they are no longer lovers, they can still be ordinary friends.

So when a message from Mr. Jiang appeared on WeChat, Chi Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he eagerly clicked on it, but his gaze dimmed again.

Mr. Jiang: {I've gotten off the plane.}

This message was sent a day ago, but Mr. Jiang hasn't sent any more messages since.

Mr. Jiang should have already seen the completely emptied apartment and the letter he left behind, but there has been no further news. This shows that he agrees with his decision.

Thankfully, I didn't have the nerve to stay until Mr. Jiang came back in the morning, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing.

Chi Yuan smiled wryly.

"Brother Chi, here's a bag." Xiao Zhao handed a bag to Chi Yuan. A letter fell out from the zipper. Xiao Zhao quickly picked it up. "Where did this letter come from? Is it from a fan?"

Chi Yuan saw it and quickly snatched the letter away: "No."

This is his farewell letter to Mr. Jiang. He wrote two full pages, but in the end, he didn't leave it behind.

Mr. Jiang likes Xie Lingzhou, although he doesn't think Xie Lingzhou deserves his affection, but Mr. Jiang just likes him.

Love is irrational. Just like himself, if someone told him not to like Mr. Jiang anymore, he wouldn't be able to do it. He understands that feeling better than anyone else, so when the news came out, he believed it without hesitation.

Xie Lingzhou dislikes him so much; if he leaves this letter, it will only cause trouble for Mr. Jiang.

So he eventually took the letter with him.

Meanwhile, there is a hardworking ox or horse trying its best to make up for its mistakes.

Assistant Chen.

After being scolded by his boss, Assistant Chen reflected on his mistakes the whole way. Especially after learning that Chi Yuan had gone abroad, he suddenly understood why his boss was furious.

His wife ran away.

And it happened on the very day the contract expired!

The main problem was that he hadn't expected his boss to fall for her and still maintain such a sordid sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship. If he'd known, he would have prepared a new fifty-year sugar daddy/sugar baby contract.

But it's too late to say anything now. He has to do something so that he won't be killed by his heartbroken boss when he goes to work tomorrow.

After much thought, the only thing he could do was to organize the information he had gathered about Chi Yuan over the past few days and submit it.

Since the boss likes Mr. Chi, he should want to see these materials, right?
