You Claimed You Didn’t Love Me, So Why Cry Now That I’m Engaged? Chapter 83

Chapter 83: I Achieved My Dream

Gu Huaiye: ???

He stared at the two of them in shock, an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It wasn’t that he was surprised they were together, but rather, he hadn’t expected them to get married so soon.

“If you’re being held hostage, just blink,” Gu Huaiye said to Chen Zirui.

Xiang Wanxing: “…”

Hearing his best friend say this, Chen Zirui’s cheeks and neck turned bright red.

He kicked Xiang Wanxing again, saying angrily, “It’s all your fault. I said not to rush it.”

“If we don’t rush, your dad’s bastard son is going to kick you out.”

“What do you mean?” Gu Huaiye’s expression immediately became serious. “Your dad’s illegitimate son dares to kick you out?”

He had heard Chen Zirui mention the illegitimate son on the phone before.

Apparently, the guy was quite scheming, his mouth sweet as honey, coaxing Father Chen until he was dizzy and almost handed over the CEO position to him.

He had caused trouble for Chen Zirui repeatedly. Whenever Father Chen appeared, he would switch faces, playing the victim bullied by Chen Zirui.

Chen Zirui had a brash personality and didn’t know how to flatter Father Chen.

When the illegitimate son first entered the Chen family, Chen Zirui had punched him right in front of Father Chen.

This led Father Chen to assume it was Chen Zirui’s fault without even investigating.

Because of these messy issues, Chen Zirui had run away from home several times.

It was strange, actually.

In the previous life, the illegitimate son hadn’t come to the Chen family.

It was possible that because Chen Zirui went to the military, Father Chen got worried about having no successor and made other preparations.

Or perhaps, because in this life he and Chen Zirui went to District B and didn’t return for a long time, the illegitimate son found a loophole.

“Sigh, it’s a long story.”

Chen Zirui sighed. Then he signaled Xiang Wanxing with his eyes.

Xiang Wanxing laughed out loud and, deliberately in front of Gu Huaiye, lowered his head and kissed Chen Zirui’s cheek.

Gu Huaiye: “…”

Seeing his best bro show off his relationship left him with mixed feelings.

“I’ll go talk to Xie Miaohan.” Xiang Wanxing looked at Gu Huaiye. “Is he upstairs?”

“Yeah, busy in the study.”

“Okay.”

After Xiang Wanxing left, Chen Zirui wiped his cheek with a look of disgust.

“Damn it, so much saliva.”

Seeing him act so repulsed, Gu Huaiye couldn’t help but ask, “Did he force you to marry him?”

Chen Zirui paused, then shook his head. “No, I actually came out on top. How could it be forced?”

Last month, the illegitimate son had actually incited Father Chen to transfer all the shares of the Chen Group under his name.

He claimed he was willing to obey Father Chen’s arrangements and enter a marriage alliance with a prominent family in District A.

This made Chen Zirui explode with rage.

In his desperation, he brought up Xiang Wanxing.

But he hadn’t expected that, aside from Chen Xialin, no one believed he was dating Xiang Wanxing. They even mocked him sarcastically for a long time.

Actually, Chen Zirui felt pretty guilty about it too; they hadn’t really been together properly.

Just occasionally sleeping together, taking what they needed from each other.

The credit card limit Father Chen gave him was strict, making him live nothing like a rich second generation heir. Sometimes he didn’t even dare to fight for the bill when out drinking.

But Xiang Wanxing was different.

Global limited-edition sports cars—he bought them for Chen Zirui without blinking an eye.

Chen Zirui had never lived so gloriously in his life.

Before, he was poor and shabby. Asking Father Chen for a bit of living expenses would earn him a scolding about being a useless waste.

But with Xiang Wanxing, he had sports cars and luxury watches.

The process wasn’t exactly honorable, but Xiang Wanxing never gossiped outside, so he didn’t feel ashamed.

Originally, Chen Zirui just wanted Xiang Wanxing to help by pretending to be his boyfriend for a day to scare the illegitimate son and make Father Chen take him seriously.

But he never expected that the moment Xiang Wanxing arrived at the Chen home, he would grab Chen Zirui’s hand and arrogantly announce they were getting married, giving Father Chen absolutely no chance to hesitate.

Once married, Xiang Wanxing would provide resources to the Chen Group and secure important documents to help relocate the Chen Group to District B.

As the price, Father Chen had to transfer all shares to Chen Zirui, making them the couple’s joint marital property.

If he refused, Xiang Wanxing would seize them for Chen Zirui anyway, and Father Chen would never step foot in District B for the rest of his life.

Under such threats, how could Father Chen dare to refuse?

Of course, Chen Zirui was also very worried that Xiang Wanxing was eyeing his family’s company.

He had a quick temper and spoke whatever was on his mind. So, on the way to find Gu Huaiye, Chen Zirui had voiced his concerns.

Xiang Wanxing was amused by his words, laughing in the car for a full minute until tears came out.

The annual profit of the Chen Group was barely equal to the least valuable business in Xiang Wanxing’s vast portfolio.

Simply put, Xiang Wanxing looked down on the Chen Group.

This also showed that Xiang Wanxing was wealthy beyond Chen Zirui’s imagination.

He told Chen Zirui not to overthink it and just treat the Chen Group as a dowry for marrying into the Xiang family. But Xiang Wanxing wouldn’t take a single cent of the profit the Chen Group made.

“Marry into?” Gu Huaiye was puzzled. “Aren’t you an Alpha? How can you be the one ‘marrying in’?”

“The Xiang family is so rich. If Xiang Wanxing married into my family, he’d be losing out big time and would be cut from the inheritance list forever.”

Chen Zirui was pretty open-minded about this and didn’t think it was a big deal. “Besides, I still have to help him succeed in taking the position of the head of the Xiang family. Only if he lives well can I live well.”

To be honest, Chen Zirui didn’t have much feeling for Xiang Wanxing initially.

But having suffered so many grievances in the Chen family, he was still touched when Xiang Wanxing came to the Chen house and demanded justice for him.

Chen Zirui seemed to think of something and suddenly laughed out loud.

“Let me tell you, I achieved my dream.”

“Huh?” Gu Huaiye asked confusedly. “What dream?”

“Yesterday, my dad actually called me ‘Dad’. He asked me to take care of him in the future and not to forget him, the old man, once I get to District B. Oh man, you have no idea what that scene was like. It was so satisfying.”

Gu Huaiye twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly. “I can’t believe your dream hasn’t changed after all this time.”

“Your dad treats you well, so of course you wouldn’t understand.”

Although the method was a bit life-shortening.

But it felt great.

Father Chen’s illegitimate children were all driven to the poorest, most backward district. In the future, he and Chen Xialin wouldn’t be threatened in the Chen family anymore.

“Actually, you can consider staying in District B,” Chen Zirui said, draping his arm around Gu Huaiye’s shoulder. “I’m awesome now. We can walk sideways in District B like we own the place. Brother Gu, I’ve got your back.”

Gu Huaiye was grateful that Chen Zirui was always thinking of him, but after thinking it over, he rejected his friend’s kindness.

“I want to stay in District A to accompany my dad.”

Chen Zirui nodded and didn’t try to persuade him further.

Gu Huaiye recalled the scene of Chen Zirui kicking Xiang Wanxing just now and couldn’t help asking, “But, is it really okay for you to be so fierce to your Omega?”

“Fierce? How am I fierce? Do you know he…”

Chen Zirui paused, suddenly remembering that Gu Huaiye didn’t know he was the one being served by Xiang Wanxing.

“Actually…” Chen Zirui paused, speaking to Gu Huaiye with earnest gravity. “We don’t need to limit these things too strictly. I used to think Alphas should be dominant, but it’s different now. Whoever is better at it can be on top. It’s actually quite comfortable; I’m happy to be serviced.”

He spoke too vaguely, and Gu Huaiye stared at him with blank eyes.

Chen Zirui scratched his head and said, “Oh, Brother Gu, what I mean is, it’s just suffering for the sake of pride…”

Before he could finish, Xiang Wanxing appeared behind them unnoticed, interrupting him.

“Shorty, time to go,” Xiang Wanxing said. “We need to go try on the suits.”

“Not going. It’s too much trouble,” Chen Zirui frowned. “Can’t you just order them and have them delivered? Suits all look the same anyway.”

“That Pagani you mentioned yesterday…”

Chen Zirui’s eyes lit up. “You’re buying it for me?”

“Mhm.”

Chen Zirui strode over to Xiang Wanxing’s side and took his arm.

“Let’s go, let’s go try on suits,” Chen Zirui said happily. “I love you to death, man. If you buy that watch I looked at last month, I’ll love you even damn more.”

“Swearing again.”

“Why the hell are you so stiff?”

Xiang Wanxing: “…”
