My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 99 Limited Edition Merchandise for Kittens

There were no clothes for Chi Yuan in the villa; he could only wear the outfit he wore yesterday, but…

The two stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor, looking at the clothes scattered all over the floor, and fell silent.

Jiang Haochen, in particular, didn't remember making such a big movement last night.

Chi Yuan broke the silence first: "Um... is there an iron here? Ironing it should make it wearable."

Jiang Haochen: "Why iron it? Have your assistant bring a set over."

Chi Yuan had no choice but to send a message to Xiao Zhao, asking how long it would take for him to come over. If it took too long, he would not go to the birthday party with Mr. Jiang.

Xiao Zhao: {Soon.}

How fast is "very fast"?

Just as Chi Yuan was about to ask another question, the doorbell rang.

Xiao Zhao: {I'm at the door.}

Jiang Haochen opened the door, and Xiao Zhao led the bag into the living room. As soon as she entered, she saw clothes all over the floor.

What the hell!

Xiao Zhao tried to control his gaze, but his eyes kept wandering involuntarily.

Chi Yuan blushed deeply. He didn't mind people around him knowing about his relationship with Mr. Jiang, but this scene was still too much.

Chi Yuan snatched the bag of clothes from Xiao Zhao's hand and shoved him out, saying, "You...you can go now."

Then she went upstairs to change her clothes without looking back.

By the time he finished changing and came downstairs, Xiao Zhao had already left, and Jiang Haochen was sitting in the living room drinking coffee.

Chi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Little Zhao is gone?"

Jiang Haochen looked at the boy's newly changed turtleneck sweater and said, "Let's go, take the clothes with us."

Chi Yuan then noticed that the clothes scattered all over the floor had been cleaned up.

Jiang Haochen: "Is it awkward?"

Chi Yuan hummed in agreement: "A little."

Jiang Haochen's eyes flickered, and he pointed to the breakfast on the table, saying, "Xiao Zhao just bought this, would you like some?"

Chi Yuan shook his head: "No need."

It's almost 11 o'clock now, and if it's any later, I'll miss the birthday party.

Jiang Haochen didn't try to persuade him further, and nodded: "Let's go then."

The car was parked in the villa's yard. Chi Yuan wanted to help drive, but Jiang Haochen stopped him.

Chi Yuan: "I'll drive."

How could I let Mr. Jiang drive for me?

Jiang Haochen: "Didn't your legs feel weak when you got up? How did you still have the energy to drive?"

Sure enough, Mr. Jiang saw his disheveled state that morning.

Chi Yuan said "oh" and obediently went to sit in the passenger seat.

The car drove out of the villa and quickly got onto the main road. Neither of them spoke a word the whole way.

Chi Yuan sensed something was off. He noticed that Mr. Jiang seemed to be in a bad mood, but why? Mr. Jiang had been in a good mood that morning.

Chi Yuan tried to ease the tension: "Xiao Zhao arrived pretty quickly, it's like he prepared his clothes in advance and was waiting at the door. He appeared as soon as I sent him a message."

Jiang Haochen: "It should have been arranged by Li Weiran."

Li Weiran cared deeply for Chi Yuan and knew that Chi Yuan was staying overnight at his place, so he would definitely prepare new clothes to send over. Given Chi Yuan's current popularity, if he were photographed wearing the same clothes as yesterday, who knows what the media would write.

They even thoughtfully prepared turtleneck sweaters.

Chi Yuan responded with an "oh," and changed the subject: "Would it be appropriate for Mr. Jiang to take me to a birthday party?"

Jiang Haochen glanced at him: "You don't want to go?"

Chi Yuan shook his head: "No, I wanted to ask, do they know about my relationship with you?"

The people at Mr. Jiang's birthday party are definitely all his friends. Do they know his identity? Will he attend as Chi Yuan alone, or as Mr. Jiang's lover?

Chi Yuan wasn't afraid of people looking at him strangely; he just wanted to be mentally prepared so he wouldn't make a mistake.

After all, it was the first time he had met Mr. Jiang's friend, and he didn't want to embarrass Mr. Jiang.

Jiang Haochen glanced at the boy, whose nervousness was immediately apparent. It seemed he was genuinely afraid of people finding out about their relationship. Even his personal assistant would panic like that if they saw it.

Jiang Haochen: "I have never told anyone that you are my lover. I brought you here this time as a Tianyu artist. Just be yourself."

Hasn't this been said publicly?

Chi Yuan nodded: "Okay."

The boy's voice was low, and he didn't sound very happy.

Having said all that, Jiang Haochen reassured the young man: "I've never acknowledged our relationship with anyone outside of Chen Qing and Cui Dong, and I never will. Just be careful on your end, and once the contract expires, no one will know about our relationship."

Chi Yuan tightened his grip on the seatbelt, a wave of indescribable sadness washing over him: "I understand."

Is this the difference between a lover and a sweetheart?

No matter how intimate we were last night, once dawn breaks, I don't want to have anything to do with myself anymore.

The car quickly arrived at a hotel in downtown H city, and the two did not exchange any more words along the way.

When getting out of the car, Jiang Haochen asked Chi Yuan to get something from the trunk: "There's a gift box and some other merchandise in the trunk, please take it."

Chi Yuan went to the back of the car, and his eyes lit up when he saw the few items of merchandise in the trunk.

This is filled with Mr. Jiang's limited-edition merchandise, gifts that only a few fans can receive each year.

"Why is it taking so long?" Jiang Haochen asked curiously when he saw that Chi Yuan hadn't taken the item out for a while.

Chi Yuan hurriedly took out the gift box: "Should we take all of this merchandise, or just a few?"

The items were prepared by Assistant Chen, and Jiang Haochen was unaware of them. Upon hearing this, he walked over and glanced at them, finding three or four items inside: "So many, pick one."

When giving gifts, the rarer the item, the more valuable it becomes.

Chi Yuan: "Which one should we choose?"

Jiang Haochen: "Oh right, I remember you were also one of my fans. Although I've stopped being a fan, could you help me choose some merchandise that you think fans would like, based on your perspective as a former fan? The banquet host's daughter is one of my fans."

Chi Yuan wanted to say that he hadn't stopped being a fan, but thinking about the previous topic about sleeping with fans, he decided it was best not to say anything.

His gaze swept across the surrounding items, and he finally chose a piece of jewelry co-branded by Jiang Haochen and K Jewelry.

"This one, this unisex bracelet designed in collaboration with K Jewelry, was the most wanted item in the fans' vote. It looks good on both men and women. I remember there were people offering high prices online for it, and it even sold for 300,000 at its most expensive point," Chi Yuan earnestly recommended.

Listening to the boy's rambling, Jiang Haochen picked up the box, opened it, and took a look.

He remembered the bracelet; it was for his tenth anniversary in the industry. At the time, he was endorsing K Jewelry, and after discussing it with his manager, they made this collaborative merchandise to give to fans.

"So you knew that so clearly, you wanted to buy a used one?"

Chi Yuan blushed: "I couldn't afford it back then."

Jiang Haochen believed this, after all, when he met the boy, the boy only had 15,000 yuan in savings.

Jiang Haochen took the bracelet out of the box, pulled the boy's hand, and put the bracelet on.

The plain silver bracelet has a very simple design, without too many patterns, and is only decorated with an amethyst that represents good luck.

"Mr. Jiang...?" The boy's gaze at Jiang Haochen was clearer than crystal.

Jiang Haochen didn't say anything, but casually took another item from the trunk: "Let's go, we're going to be late."

Chi Yuan stood there stunned for a long time, until Jiang Haochen had walked far away, before he came to his senses and hurried to catch up.

He carefully covered the bracelet with his clothes, as if afraid that someone would see it and snatch it away.
