My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 181 Proposal

sense of security?

"Then...then should I give you my salary card?" Chi Yuanmiao replied.

Jiang Haochen: "..."

Seeing Jiang Haochen's stunned expression, Chi Yuan was also momentarily confused. Then, as if realizing something, he felt so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into a hole. How could he have forgotten that Mr. Jiang was much richer than him? How could he have said something like handing over his salary card?

Jiang Haochen was only stunned for a moment before quickly regaining his composure. Just as Chi Yuan was about to lower his head in shame, he quickly agreed, "Okay. Then let's exchange salary cards."

Chi Yuan was stunned: "Swap them?"

Jiang Haochen: "Of course we need to exchange money. If we want a stable relationship, our finances naturally need to be intertwined. If I'm just spending your money, then if you want to leave me later, you just need to give up that part of the money."

Chi Yuan: "..."

Something feels off, but it also seems to make sense.

Jiang Haochen: "You have to take my salary card, and you have to spend it frequently. The more you spend, the more secure I feel. Because, if you want to leave me..."

Jiang Haochen reached out and pinched Chi Yuan's earlobe, leaned over, and said in a line from a TV drama where someone is furiously criticizing a villain, "I'll get a lawyer to sue you."

Chi Yuan's eyes widened instantly.

"Similarly, if one day I want to leave you, and you don't want me to, you can sue me."

Chi Yuan's heart pounded. He felt this was absurd, yet strangely, he was actually somewhat looking forward to it.

Will Mr. Jiang sue me because I want to leave him? Can I do that too...?

As if guided by some unseen force, Chi Yuan replied, "Okay."

Jiang Haochen was satisfied. He continued, "My assets are somewhat complex. I'll have Assistant Chen compile a document of my domestic assets and send it to you all at once. Except for some shares that you can't touch, you can use the rest as you wish."

Just as Chi Yuan was about to retort, Mr. Jiang interrupted him again: "But even so, I still don't feel safe enough."

Not enough?

Chi Yuan was at a loss for words: "Then... what else do you want?"

Jiang Haochen stared at Chi Yuan for a long time, and he realized that Chi Yuan truly had no further thoughts. He even began to wonder if Chi Yuan just wanted to date him? Chi Yuan liked him, but not to the point of marriage.

When he mentioned marriage before, Chi Yuan did not respond, and there was no joy in Chi Yuan's expression at that time.

He admitted that at the time, the main reason for proposing marriage was to quell the online criticism. But at the moment he proposed, he was willing and looking forward to it.

When he was most in love with Xie Lingzhou, he never thought about marrying him. But with Chi Yuan, after only dating for a few days, he was already willing to get married.

Jiang Haochen realized that his affection and trust for Chi Yuan far exceeded what he had thought. He knew clearly that this trust stemmed from Chi Yuan's unconditional love. But if he liked him so much, why wasn't he willing to marry him?

Jiang Haochen couldn't understand it.

Facing Chi Yuan's eager gaze, Jiang Haochen slowly said, "First of all, I need to erase my dark history."

Chi Yuan didn't understand: "Dark history?"

Jiang Haochen: "I will remember every single word that's said about me online. There are things I can't change, and I can't do anything about them. But I will do everything I can to change them. I'll visit you on set, follow you around, stick to you, and let the whole world know I'm chasing after you. I'll act opposite you while you're filming, take care of you when you're sick, remember all your preferences, and give you everything you want. Everything I've done before, I will do again for you, and do it even better. I want your fans to have no reason to criticize me anymore. That way… my inferiority complex will lessen."

Chi Yuan paused, then asked, "All of them?"

"Everything." Jiang Haochen pressed his advantage, "Why don't you make a request now?"

Jiang Haochen's words were incredibly tempting, and Chi Yuan did indeed have another wish.

"I want to act in a movie with you..."

After saying that, Chi Yuan became uneasy. Was this request too much? Mr. Jiang had already retired from acting.

Jiang Haochen: "Okay."

Chi Yuanshua looked up sharply, his eyes gleaming with undisguised light: "Really?"

Jiang Haochen felt he had finally found some direction. He stopped making verbal promises, grabbed his phone, logged into Weibo, and started editing: [I'd like to collaborate with my boyfriend @ChiYuan on a film. Do you have any good scripts? If my boyfriend agrees, I'll act in it for free.]

Click to send.

He showed the phone to Chi Yuan.

Holy crap! Is Jiang Yingdi making a comeback?!

{My God, I can actually see Jiang Zemin make a comeback in my lifetime!}

{Acting without pay, where's the director? Has anyone submitted a script?}

{Friendly reminder: Don't hand it to the wrong person; give it to his partner!}

……

Within minutes, the number of comments had exceeded 10,000.

Meanwhile, news of Jiang Haochen's comeback also became a trending topic on Weibo.

Chi Yuan stared in disbelief at the scene: "You... how did you post this on Weibo?"

Jiang Haochen: "Are you feeling pressured, afraid that I'll use this to hold you accountable later?"

Jiang Haochen's tone was pitiful, tinged with fear. Reason told Chi Yuan that this was wrong, but he just couldn't bear to do it. Besides... he was genuinely happy inside.

Mr. Jiang has been retired from acting for so many years. Does his willingness to make a comeback for him prove that he really cares about himself?

Suddenly, music started playing in the room; it was Chi Yuan's phone.

Chi Yuan took a look and found that it was a voice call request from Director Yang. Chi Yuan showed the phone to Jiang Haochen.

Jiang Haochen nodded: "Answer it."

As soon as the call connected, Chi Yuan called out "Director Yang," and Director Yang excitedly replied, "Chi Yuan, I treated you pretty well when we were filming 'Eternal Life,' didn't I?"

Chi Yuan nodded blankly: "You've been very good to me and taught me a lot."

Director Yang: "Okay, as long as you admit it. I don't care how many people hand you scripts, mine must be the first one on your list. Can you do that?"

Chi Yuan: "..."

Director Yang: "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement. That's it."

"Beep beep beep~~"

Chi Yuan was completely dumbfounded when he heard the busy tone on the other end of the phone.

Why are they forcing people to buy or sell?
