My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 106 Sending New Year's Greetings to Someone You Like

The next day, Chi Yuan slept until noon and then drove to the photography studio to shoot a New Year's greeting video.

This filming was arranged by the production company of "Royal Power". Since several of the main actors were in City B, they organized this offline filming.

When Xiao Zhao took his annual leave, Chi Yuan went alone.

As soon as Chi Yuan entered the dressing room, he saw Yan Chuan.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt a little awkward when he saw Yan Chuan: "Hello, senior."

Yan Chuan is a senior, so no matter what he thinks, he still has to greet him on the surface.

Yan Chuan hummed in response, but his reply was not enthusiastic.

This reaction suggests they have a new target.

Chi Yuan didn't think Yan Chuan really liked him. In this circle, everyone who had expressed affection for him was thinking of sleeping with him, including Mr. Jiang.

At this moment, the makeup artist came in, greeted Chi Yuan, and prepared to begin makeup: "Teacher Chi, your dark circles are a bit heavy. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Yan Chuan glanced at Chi Yuan in the mirror.

Chi Yuan was a little embarrassed: "I did go to bed late last night, will that affect my makeup?"

The makeup artist smiled and said, "It won't matter. Just cover it up with concealer, and you won't be able to tell at all."

Soon, Chi Yuan's makeup was finished, but Yan Chuan was still sitting next to her and hadn't left.

Without a third person present, Chi Yuan didn't want to stay with Yan Chuan, so he got up to leave: "I'm going outside first."

"Could you help me promote my movie?" Yan Chuan suddenly asked.

Chi Yuan turned around unexpectedly.

Yan Chuan: "I have a movie releasing during the Spring Festival. I've already talked to the director about it. When we're filming the New Year's greeting video later, we can also promote my movie, so it's a mutual promotion. If you don't want to, that's fine too. I'll talk to the director."

Chi Yuan naturally couldn't refuse something that everyone had agreed to, especially since Yan Chuan had previously helped him share the video.

Chi Yuan: "Sure, I'm fine with it."

Yan Chuan nodded and went out.

Seeing his expression, Chi Yuan became even more certain that Actor Yan had changed his target.

He thought to himself, "His reputation for changing lovers every time he joins a film crew is truly well-deserved."

The filming went very smoothly afterward, and the New Year's greeting video was completed in just half an hour.

Chi Yuan greeted everyone, changed his clothes, and prepared to leave. However, when he came out after changing his clothes, he met Yan Chuan waiting at the door.

Chi Yuan nodded to the other party and was about to leave when Yan Chuan suddenly spoke up: "Xie Lingzhou."

Chi Yuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Yan Chuan said, "Jiang Haochen likes him."

Chi Yuan's voice trembled slightly: "Why are you telling me this?"

Yan Chuan: "I know you're really curious. Consider this a thank you gift; thank you for helping me promote my movie."

Before Chi Yuan could react, Yan Chuan pushed open the door and went into the changing room.

Chi Yuan was indeed very curious. Ever since he saw that photo yesterday, he had been searching for evidence that Mr. Jiang liked Xie Lingzhou.

He didn't know why he was doing this. He kept telling himself that no matter who Mr. Jiang liked, it had nothing to do with him, and that it was all in the past and had nothing to do with the present, but he just couldn't control himself.

It was as if I was possessed, obsessively seeking an answer.

He spent an entire night reviewing all of Jiang Haochen and Xie Lingzhou's past interviews, but neither of them had ever publicly admitted to the relationship. Xie Lingzhou, in particular, denied it 28 times in the interviews he found.

In fact, it's clear from their interactions that Mr. Jiang likes Xie Lingzhou, and clearly likes him more than Xie Lingzhou does.

But Chi Yuan just wouldn't admit it, because...

Because he is far inferior to Xie Lingzhou.

He could never compare to someone so elegant and refined.

Most importantly, he knew what it felt like to truly like someone. Just thinking about how Mr. Jiang liked Xie Lingzhou the same way he liked him made Chi Yuan's heart ache dully…

He could have easily deceived himself, since Mr. Jiang had never publicly acknowledged his relationship with Xie Lingzhou. As long as there was no public acknowledgment, he could have disregarded it.

But Yan Chuan clearly told him the answer.

Yan Chuan changed his clothes and came out. Zhu Feng was waiting for him at the door. When he saw him come out, he said, "Chi Yuan looked really bad when he went out. I wonder if he's sick."

Yan Chuan said coldly, "If you're sick, get treatment."

Zhu Feng gave his boss a strange look: "Have you changed your target?"

Yan Chuan rolled his eyes at him.

Xie Lingzhou will eventually return to China to develop his career. Given how much Jiang Haochen cherishes him, they're bound to rekindle their old flame. It's better to break up sooner rather than later so I can take over sooner.

New Year's Eve.

Most people in the city were reuniting with their families. Chi Yuan stayed in his apartment and cooked himself a large meal, but he didn't have much of an appetite.

He took pictures of the large table of dishes and sent them to everyone who asked him how he was going to celebrate the New Year. Then he wrapped himself in a blanket and watched the fireworks in the distance from the balcony.

"Ding, ding ding."

People kept sending red envelopes in the crew's WeChat group, mostly the lead actors and director, and the staff were grabbing them.

When I wished Li Weiran a Happy New Year earlier, he told me to send red envelopes in the group chat, and the company would reimburse me for the money.

Chi Yuan then distributed red envelopes to everyone, and then gave red envelopes to Huang Kai and Xiao Zhao separately.

Xiao Zhao: {Thank you, boss. I wish you great success next year.}

Huang Kai: {Thank you, Yuanzi. I wish you and Jiang Haochen continued harmony.}

Chi Yuan complained with a wry smile, "Couldn't you be a little bolder with your New Year's greetings? Like, something about Mr. Jiang liking me or something."

Look, even Huang Kai knows that there's absolutely no possibility between him and Mr. Jiang.

Chi Yuan's finger hovered over Jiang Haochen's WeChat. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sent Jiang Haochen a message: {Mr. Jiang, Happy New Year, wishing you good health and peace.}

In Country S, Jiang Haochen was watching the Spring Festival Gala with his parents. He personally didn't really like watching it, but his parents, who lived abroad, loved it.

Just as Jiang Haochen was about to put his phone down after sending out a round of red envelopes, Chi Yuan's WeChat message came in.

When Jiang Haochen saw Chi Yuan's WeChat message, his expression softened involuntarily: {Shouldn't "Happy New Year" be followed by "Wishing you prosperity"?}

Chi Yuan: {You're right, when health comes first, wealth isn't so important.}

These are his words during an interview after his car accident.

Unexpectedly, Chi Yuan not only remembered my casual remark, but also used it in his blessing.

Jiang Haochen: {What are you doing?}

Chi Yuan didn't reply to the message immediately. Just as Jiang Haochen was wondering if Chi Yuan was busy, the message finally came back.

Chi Yuan: {Sending a New Year's greeting text message to someone I like.}

Jiang Haochen's good mood vanished the moment he saw the message.

He knew that Chi Yuan had a crush on someone and had said that he wouldn't be angry about it, but he was, after all, the sugar daddy who was supporting him with money and effort. Did he really have to say such things to him?

What's wrong? Did you run into your crush while going home for the Lunar New Year and couldn't control your feelings?

"bite."

Chi Yuan: {Are you angry?}

Chi Yuan waited anxiously, but never received a reply from Jiang Haochen.
