My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 173 If you're this obedient, I'll bully you.

hotel room.

Jiang Haochen came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and saw Chi Yuan sitting half-asleep on the bed, leaning against the pillow.

Jiang Haochen unconsciously slowed his pace, carefully walked over, half-squatted by the bed, and quietly watched Chi Yuan's sleeping face.

His kitten is so cute.

Jiang Haochen half-squatted there, gazing at the sleeping person on the bed without any desire. Even though he did nothing, a softness and warmth he had never felt before spread through his heart.

Fearing that Chi Yuan would feel uncomfortable if he slept like that in the morning, he reached out to lay him down, but Chi Yuan was startled awake the moment his hand touched his shoulder.

"Mr. Jiang?"

"Awake?" Jiang Haochen chuckled.

"I'm sorry, I fell asleep."

"Tired?"

"Not tired." Chi Yuan shook his head, his hand naturally wrapped around Jiang Haochen's neck, and he leaned in to place a kiss on Jiang Haochen's neck.

Jiang Haochen froze.

Chi Yuan waited for a while, but Mr. Jiang didn't make a move. He asked in confusion, "Mr. Jiang?"

The smile in Jiang Haochen's eyes had completely faded. When Chi Yuan loosened his grip to check his expression, he suddenly tightened his arms and held him tightly in his embrace.

"Mr. Jiang?" Chi Yuan was even more bewildered.

Jiang Haochen didn't speak, and Chi Yuan didn't ask any more questions, letting the other hold him and waiting quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Haochen finally spoke again: "Chi Yuan, you are my boyfriend now."

Chi Yuan hummed in agreement: "I know."

Jiang Haochen's voice was muffled: "So if you're tired, just rest well, you don't need to... try to please me."

Chi Yuan's action of hugging and kissing him just now was so natural; it was the most common opening line they used to start their relationship over the past two years.

But Chi Yuan was so tired that he could fall asleep right away with his pillow after just taking a shower. In such a state of exhaustion, how could he possibly want that kind of thing?

He was trying to please him, just like every night they spent together over the past two years.

In his presence, Chi Yuan seemed to never know how to refuse.

He remembered a time when he wanted Chi Yuan, so he casually sent him a message. At that time, Chi Yuan was working in a neighboring city, and it would take him three hours to drive back, but he still didn't refuse. He drove back overnight, without a single complaint or attempt to please him, obediently washed up and let him do whatever he wanted, and then drove back to the neighboring city overnight.

He remembered that Chi Yuan seemed to have been injured that time.

He knew that Chi Yuan liked him, and he also knew that Chi Yuan habitually tried to please him, but he didn't want to anymore.

"I...I'm not trying to please him." Chi Yuan was stunned for a moment before he spoke, "I...want it."

Jiang Haochen was taken aback, released the boy, and then saw his flushed cheeks and shyly lowered eyes: "You want it?"

Chi Yuan nodded, his voice so soft that Jiang Haochen could barely hear him: "We...together...for the first time."

Jiang Haochen listened intently, and it took him a while to understand what Chi Yuan meant. This was their first time together, and he wanted it.

After realizing what was happening, Jiang Haochen couldn't help but chuckle softly.

His kitten is always so straightforward and adorable in this respect.

Chi Yuan was already somewhat embarrassed, and being teased by Jiang Haochen like this made him wish he could disappear into a hole in the ground. But he was used to being obedient and quiet around Jiang Haochen, so even so, he just kept his head down and didn't say a word.

He continued laughing until Jiang Haochen had finished and then hugged him as they fell onto the bed.

Just as Chi Yuan was ready and pressed his body against Jiang Haochen, Jiang Haochen simply kissed his forehead and stopped.

"Since this is our first time together, I definitely want to do my best. I haven't slept well for three nights in preparation for coming to see you. Let me rest up and then I'll take good care of my little cat, okay?"

Why do you make it sound like he's sexually frustrated?

Unable to bear the teasing in Jiang Haochen's words, Chi Yuan finally lost his temper and turned away angrily.

Jiang Haochen indulged Chi Yuan's rare temper, turned off the light, readjusted his position, and hugged him back into his arms from behind.

Chi Yuan closed his eyes, then opened them again after a short while, and asked cautiously, "Mr. Jiang, have you not slept well for three days? Was it because you were looking for me?"

Jiang Haochen closed his eyes, hummed sleepily, and said with some complaint, "In order to see someone as soon as possible, I didn't even want to catch up on sleep. I bought the earliest flight back from S City. After going through all the hardships to get home, I found that someone had taken all their luggage with them."

In the darkness, Chi Yuan remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Haochen thought to himself, "You little ingrate, feeling guilty now?" Just as he was about to take the opportunity to ask Chi Yuan not to leave without saying goodbye again, he heard Chi Yuan say...

"I thought you wanted me to leave."

Jiang Haochen: "You're turning the tables on me. When did I ever let you leave?"

"The day the contract expired, I told you I was going back to my apartment. I wanted to say goodbye, but you said you wouldn't be back until tomorrow. I thought you probably wanted me to leave before you came back," Chi Yuan said, expressing his thoughts.

Jiang Haochen never imagined that Chi Yuan would think this way.

Jiang Haochen: "Why would you think that? I made it so obvious on set."

Chi Yuan: "I didn't dare to think about it."

Chi Yuan didn't want to mention Xie Lingzhou's name.

He never dared to imagine that those three simple words would cause Jiang Haochen pain in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

From his perspective, he felt he had been high-profile enough; anyone should be able to tell. But Chi Yuan was different. Chi Yuan hadn't come to his side for resources or benefits; Chi Yuan liked him.

Before she fell in love with him, and even declared that she wouldn't let Chi Yuan like him, what would Chi Yuan do?

Jiang Haochen dared not think about it.

"And you were with someone you used to like that night."

Chi Yuan childishly didn't want to mention that person's name.

Jiang Haochen was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that the incident at the hospital that day must have been photographed by the media, and then Chi Yuan saw it.

"That was an accident." Jiang Haochen smiled wryly. He felt that this matter needed to be explained clearly. "Ling... he suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. His manager and assistant were not by his side. I happened to be in S City, so the hospital contacted me."

Chi Yuan: "There are so many people in S City, why did they specifically contact you?"

Jiang Haochen had the illusion that he had shot himself in the foot, but he wasn't angry. On the contrary, he was a little happy that his little cat finally had the courage to question him.

"Okay, I admit, he still had feelings for me, but I rejected him and told him that I had someone I liked."

Having never been coaxed before, Chi Yuan was overwhelmed by such words. Her ears immediately turned red, and she felt incredibly happy.

"oh."

Jiang Haochen wouldn't let him off the hook: "Just one, are you not satisfied with my answer?"

Chi Yuan: "No."

Jiang Haochen: "So you forgive me?"

Chi Yuan: "I'm not angry."

Aren't you angry?

Jiang Haochen stopped teasing and said seriously, "You can be angry. If you're too obedient, I'll bully you."

Chi Yuan: "It's okay."

Jiang Haochen: "What?"

Chi Yuan: "I'll let you bully me."

Is it okay for me to bully you?

Jiang Haochen froze, his throat tightened, and he suddenly couldn't speak.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he heard Chi Yuan's long, steady breathing. Jiang Haochen sighed softly and embraced Chi Yuan as if he were a precious treasure.

"How stupid!"
