You Claimed You Didn’t Love Me, So Why Cry Now That I’m Engaged? Chapter 57

Chapter 57: I Won’t Go to the Army

Since he was still “hiding a beauty in a golden house,” Gu Huaiye was worried Chen Zirui might hear Xie Miaohan’s voice, so he quickly ended the conversation.

“I have something to do, I’ll chat with you on WeChat later.”

Without waiting for Chen Zirui’s reply, he immediately hung up the phone.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Huaiye felt extremely guilty and still didn’t dare to make eye contact with Xie Miaohan.

“The meal is ready.” Xie Miaohan’s voice revealed no emotion. “You can come out and eat.”

“En, okay.” Gu Huaiye supported his waist as he got out of bed. “I’ll go wash up first.”

Standing before the mirror in the bathroom, Gu Huaiye realized his neck was covered in red marks, all kissed onto him by Xie Miaohan.

He twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, thinking that Xie Miaohan wasn’t like this in his previous life.

Could it be that he had adjusted his mindset and was serving him diligently for the sake of that one million a month?

But he shouldn’t serve him like this.

If he had just obediently let Gu Huaiye top him like in the previous life, forget one million—Gu Huaiye would have been willing to give him five million.

When he arrived in the living room, Xie Miaohan had already served the rice and was sitting obediently in his seat, waiting for Gu Huaiye.

“Next time, you don’t need to wait specifically for me; you can eat first.” Gu Huaiye pulled out a chair and sat down.

Xie Miaohan handed him the chopsticks. “I’m used to waiting. A few minutes doesn’t matter.”

In his previous life, Xie Miaohan was always waiting for Gu Huaiye.

Gu Huaiye loved to play and often lost track of time.

Xie Miaohan would cook a table full of dishes and wait for Gu Huaiye to return. It wasn’t until the food had gone completely cold that he would receive a text message from the other party.

— Wifey, sorry, I won’t be coming home tonight.

Xie Miaohan wouldn’t lose his temper at Gu Huaiye. He would calmly dump all the food, wash the dishes, and then reply to Gu Huaiye’s message.

— I’m busy at the company. No need to tell me about these small things.

Days like this repeated over and over until Xie Miaohan was unwilling to wait any longer.

He destroyed Gu Huaiye’s company, delusionally hoping that Gu Huaiye would rely on him forever and hold only him in his heart.

No Chen Zirui.

No messy drinking parties.

Only each other.

Xie Miaohan zoned out while holding his bowl. Seeing that he wasn’t moving his chopsticks, Gu Huaiye couldn’t help but call his name.

“Xie Miaohan?”

Xie Miaohan snapped back from his memories and put some food into Gu Huaiye’s bowl.

“Try this.” Xie Miaohan smiled faintly. “I bought this fish this morning; it’s very fresh.”

Gu Huaiye didn’t touch the fish he put there. After shoveling a few mouthfuls of plain rice, he couldn’t sit still anymore and looked up to stare at Xie Miaohan’s face.

“Do you have nothing to say to me?”

He clearly heard everything Gu Huaiye said in the bedroom just now, yet he had no reaction at all. His calmness was a bit too eerie.

Xie Miaohan put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked back, “What do you want me to say?”

This question stumped Gu Huaiye.

He actually really wanted to provoke this topic, and then follow his true inner intentions to cut off this twisted sugar daddy relationship.

“You heard it all, right?” Gu Huaiye also put down his chopsticks. “About me getting married to my fiancé.”

“En, I heard it.” Xie Miaohan paused, then asked, “So?”

Gu Huaiye was stunned. “You inexplicably became the ‘other man.’ Don’t you feel humiliated?”

“It was never legitimate to begin with. Since I decided to accept your money, it meant I could accept being your lover.”

Gu Huaiye: “…” Can’t argue with that.

But he didn’t want to continue anymore.

He had proposed keeping Xie Miaohan for two reasons: First, he didn’t want to see Xie Miaohan continue to degenerate. He always believed Xie Miaohan should choose a better path, and joining the army was Xie Miaohan’s true destiny.

Second, he held some resentment for what Xie Miaohan did in the previous life and deliberately proposed the arrangement to disgust him.

Now he had calmed down a lot and felt that doing such a thing to someone with no memories of the past life was actually quite wicked.

“Let’s stop this lover relationship.” Gu Huaiye’s attitude was firm. “I appreciate your abilities very much. I will financially support you until you finish your studies and successfully enter the army.”

“And after I enter?” Xie Miaohan’s pupils were as deep as ink, staring until Gu Huaiye felt a chill in his heart. “Will you stop contacting me?”

“If you have a grateful heart, once you achieve success and fame in District B, it wouldn’t be impossible if you wanted to repay my kindness.”

Gu Huaiye was lying to him. Once Xie Miaohan went to District B, he would immediately delete all contact information.

“What if I said, I want you to go with me?”

Gu Huaiye’s breath hitched, his expression complex. “You want me to accompany you?”

Xie Miaohan nodded. “I don’t have the confidence to establish myself in the army alone. I asked my teacher; I can bring one family member along.”

The words “family member” sobered Gu Huaiye up.

To put it bluntly, he still wanted to marry him.

Did he want the Gu family’s assets that badly?

“My fiancé is here; I can’t leave him behind.” Gu Huaiye’s expression turned cold, wanting Xie Miaohan to give up this idea completely. “Our two families have already discussed it. As soon as I graduate, we will get engaged immediately. Of course, it’s also possible we’ll skip that step and get married directly.”

The living room fell into silence.

After a long while, Xie Miaohan picked up his bowl and chopsticks again and said softly, “Then forget it. I won’t go to the army. I want to stay here and be your lover.”

Smack—

Gu Huaiye slammed the table angrily, his eyes full of disappointment.

“You are an SSS-level Alpha! With such good conditions, instead of serving the country, you run here to be a gigolo for me? Is that appropriate?”

“Just consider me unambitious then.”

“You…”

Gu Huaiye was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control his temper and would hit Xie Miaohan.

So he stood up, went to the walk-in closet to change his clothes, and prepared to leave the apartment.

“You haven’t finished your meal.” Xie Miaohan followed behind Gu Huaiye.

“I lose my appetite when I see you.” Gu Huaiye turned back and glared at Xie Miaohan. “Don’t follow me, or I’ll beat you up.”

Putting on his shoes, Gu Huaiye walked out of the apartment and slammed the door shut.

Xie Miaohan returned to the dining table, staring at the braised fish that Gu Huaiye hadn’t even touched.

After rebirth, Gu Huaiye had indeed changed a lot.

This was Gu Huaiye’s favorite dish, yet now he wouldn’t even look at it.

What about him?

Did he detest him even more than in the previous life?

In the previous life, they could still get married. In this life, even being lovers had become an extravagant hope.

Xie Miaohan let out a short, sharp laugh.

He dumped all the food into the trash can.
