You Claimed You Didn’t Love Me, So Why Cry Now That I’m Engaged? Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Can’t Afford to Keep Me?

It might have been Gu Huaiye’s illusion, but when he said those words, he saw a flash of mockery in Xie Miaohan’s eyes.

When he tried to look closer, Xie Miaohan’s brows were gentle, staring at him seriously, without a trace of displeasure to be found.

Gu Huaiye seemed to be competing, always wanting to tear off his mask, speaking more and more excessively.

“You can only be a lover here with me. You saw it too; our family backgrounds are different. Besides, you worked in a bar; I don’t know if you are clean or not. We are both Alphas; don’t think about marriage or dating. It’s impossible between us.”

These words weren’t entirely for revenge against Xie Miaohan.

He wanted Xie Miaohan’s body; Xie Miaohan wanted his money.

Apart from keeping him as a mistress, he couldn’t think of anything better.

In his previous life, when he first met Xie Miaohan, Chen Zirui suggested he could choose to keep him.

With only money involved, there was no question of who let whom down.

But Gu Huaiye was afraid of wronging Xie Miaohan and insisted on giving the other party a status.

Facts proved he was wrong.

Xie Miaohan didn’t want status; he only wanted their Gu family’s money.

Presumably after he jumped off the building and died, he got the mark removal surgery and lived a carefree life.

Gu Huaiye certainly wouldn’t give Xie Miaohan a chance to ruin their Gu family again.

But he also temporarily couldn’t bear to see Xie Miaohan approaching other rich kids.

As long as they didn’t marry or date, he was willing to give Xie Miaohan money. Wasn’t this fulfilling Xie Miaohan’s wish?

“Regarding money, we can talk. You name a number. As long as I think it’s not excessive, I can satisfy you.”

Xie Miaohan’s eyes were bottomless. When gazing at him, it seemed he wanted to see through him.

Gu Huaiye clenched his fists, staring back at Xie Miaohan, unwilling to show weakness.

“What if I say I don’t want to be a lover?” Xie Miaohan asked.

“Then forget it between us.”

Xie Miaohan suddenly stared at Gu Huaiye’s chest, as if trying to stare something out of it, his eyes gradually sinking.

Gu Huaiye felt uncomfortable being stared at by him and spoke up to divert his attention.

“Forget it. Maybe I was really impulsive. Just pretend nothing happened today…”

Xie Miaohan interrupted him, his smile obedient and gentle.

“Being a lover is fine too, but my price will be a bit high. I hope you can accept it.”

Gu Huaiye breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a faint discomfort in his heart.

“How much do you want?”

“One million a month.”

Gu Huaiye pulled a long face. “Are you crazy for money?”

“You are so rich; I think you should be the type willing to spend millions for a smile from a beauty. One million is nothing for me serving you for a month.”

Gu Huaiye froze.

In his previous life, he indeed smashed down millions chasing Xie Miaohan without feeling any heartache.

It was just that he was full of wariness towards Xie Miaohan now, considering if it was worth it for every penny spent.

“Is that okay?” Xie Miaohan asked again.

“Fine, just small change.” Gu Huaiye warned, “But if you follow me, you aren’t allowed to hook up with others. I find it dirty.”

“Okay.” Xie Miaohan nodded. “You can’t have others either.”

Gu Huaiye laughed out loud. “I’m the sugar daddy; what right do you have to restrict my freedom?”

“That’s why I said I’m expensive.” Xie Miaohan lowered his eyes to stare at him. “Can’t afford to keep me?”

“Joking? How could I not afford it?”

Gu Huaiye felt his momentum was crushed and wanted to say something more to save face.

He opened his mouth, but before he could utter a syllable.

Xie Miaohan suddenly hugged his waist and lowered his head to kiss him.

It came fiercely, making Gu Huaiye breathless, pushing against Xie Miaohan’s chest with both hands.

Xie Miaohan even released pheromones. The scent of mint surrounded him, making Gu Huaiye’s body start to go soft.

Fuck!

So damn insidious, actually using pheromones to suppress him.

Gu Huaiye got angry and hit Xie Miaohan, but the strength was soft, carrying a flavor of coquettishness.

Just when Gu Huaiye started to feel despair, Xie Miaohan finally released him, taking out a handkerchief in a good mood to wipe his swollen lips.

Gu Huaiye raised his hand and slapped Xie Miaohan.

“Try using pheromones to suppress me again next time.”

Xie Miaohan’s face was slapped to the side, then he let out a light chuckle, turning his face to look at Gu Huaiye.

“Sorry, I forgot to control myself for a moment. I’ll pay attention next time and try to satisfy you.”

The attitude was so good that Gu Huaiye couldn’t find fault, so he had to swallow the humiliation unwillingly.

“I always keep my word. Won’t sign a contract; it’s meaningless.” Gu Huaiye said, “Next month, I’ll transfer one million to your account.”

Xie Miaohan held Gu Huaiye’s hand. “Then are we still eating?”

“Not eating.” Gu Huaiye was still angry, saying coldly, “This isn’t within the scope of your obligations.”

Without waiting for Xie Miaohan to answer, Gu Huaiye turned and walked into the dormitory building.

That night, Xie Miaohan added Gu Huaiye on WeChat.

Gu Huaiye hesitated, then accepted directly.

The situations of the two were swapped compared to the previous life. Xie Miaohan sent him messages every day, several at a time, not forgetting to include emojis.

Gu Huaiye occasionally replied with one, sometimes even replying with his mind (not replying).

The cold attitude didn’t drive Xie Miaohan away; he continued sharing his daily life.

Gu Huaiye looked at the screen full of messages, mockery showing on his face.

So Xie Miaohan could be passionate and clingy for money too.

Thinking about it this way, his devotion in the previous life seemed even more like a fool.

Gu Huaiye sneered, preparing to reply to Xie Miaohan.

At this moment, a new message popped up.

Xie Miaohan: [When can I fulfill my duties?]
