A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor - Chapter 11

The Civil Affairs Bureau (1)

　【I’ve never seen the boy in the picture before. He looks pretty young. Let’s first exclude the possibility that he is a friend or relative, perhaps he’s a younger brother of a friend … However, there’s never been anyone who could make Best Actor Xi act this way, right? I’m more for that there’s a special relationship between this person and Best Actor Xi】

　　【+1. The main point is that there’s no one that can cause Xi Chengyun to purposely hold such an event just so they can meet each other once. This person’s identity is definitely not ordinary】

　　【Xi Chengyun has never had a girlfriend before. Plus, plenty of girl celebrities have tried to approach him in secret but to no avail. So,… he likes men? 】

Very soon, the post blew up, gaining lots of attention.

There was no doubt that Xi Chengyun was a popular actor at the peak of his career. Xi Chengyun has a lot of fans. His fanbase was incomparable with current stars with large fanbases. Even if anyone compared, his fanbase would only be more, not less. 

His fanbase is orderly and in the past, they’d often dealt with fake scandals posted by gossip forums and speculative accounts*.

* Speculative accounts (营销号) are marketing accounts used on social media platforms to create drama/gossip out of nothing. 

It was no different this time.

Once the forum went crazy over that one guess, his fans immediately subdued the guesses in the forum by continuously posting the following sentence:

“My Xi-ge isn’t, my Xi-ge didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!”　　

Bai Qi found enjoyment as he flipped through post after post, reading through a great deal of gossip related to himself. 　

By the time he was done ‘sipping his tea’, Jiang Fangcheng had arrived at his doorstep.. 

When Jiang Fangcheng pushed open the door, he first shot a smile at Mu Dong and the rest to avoid having the same odd atmosphere as yesterday. It would be troublesome if Mu Dong and the rest were not willing to reply to his texts.

“Qi Qi,” Jiang Fangcheng called out.　

Bai Qi turned his head over to take a look and then turned back again.

He was a little puzzled.

Who gave Jiang Fangcheng the guts to send the invitation over to his dorm? Even coming over to meet him after he sent the invitation…

Bai Qi ignored him. On one hand, Jiang Fangcheng felt a little ashamed and worried; on the other, he was also agitated with jealousy.

He took a huge step forward and stood beside Bai Qi. “I came here especially to find you.”

“Wait,” Bai Qi said.

Jiang Fangcheng replied, “Qi…”

“Wait,” Bai Qi said again.

Jiang Fangcheng had no choice but to shut up as he stood there motionlessly. He was waiting.　　

Bai Qi logged into his daily-life Weibo account and did an ‘a day in my love life’ check-in, and then he closed the app. After all that, he finally spared a little attention to Jiang Fangcheng.

“Go ahead, what do you have to say?” Bai Qi asked.

Bai Qi always seemed to have a subtle smile on his face, giving off a pleasantly sweet air around him. 

It’s likely what made Jiang Fangcheng never thought about how bad the consequences of this matter could be.

Until this very moment ——

There wasn’t a hint of a smile on Bai Qi’s face — there was nothing at all. A face so expressionless that Jiang Fangcheng felt as if a piece of his chest had been dug out. This made him flustered.

“Are you mad at me?” Jiang Fangcheng asked in a low voice.

At first, Bai Qi wasn’t that angry anymore. He had taken Xi Chengyun’s money, patting his butt happily as he left. Now, it was just great. That single question from Jiang Fangcheng made him unhappy again.

What is this?

Are all the scumbags in the world the same?

He cheated, two-timed, and did what he wasn’t supposed to do. The first thing these people do when they see you is never to admit their mistakes, instead, is to ask if you’re angry.

What else was I supposed to feel? To hell if I wasn’t angry. 

These people thought that they could immediately get to their knees and beg for forgiveness as long as their partner said that they were angry. 

A slight grin appeared on Bai Qi’s face. He cocked his head to one side, looking at Jiang Fangcheng as he tossed the question back to him, “What do you think?”

Jiang Fangcheng choked back.

What did he think?

He thought that of course Bai Qi was angry. Not only was he angry, but he also made it impossible for him to explain himself and ask for forgiveness.

The others in the dorm could feel that something wasn’t right.

Mu Dong’s furrow was so deep that he could almost smoosh a fly. He really couldn’t take it anymore and spoke up first, “Hey Jiang Fangcheng. Senior Jiang. Qi Qi is angry? Why should Qi Qi be angry with you? Now I get it, you have a crush on Qi Qi, isn’t it? But what does your engagement have anything to do with him?”

Jiang Fangcheng’s expression turned dark when he heard this.

How can it have nothing to do with him? I’m his boyfriend! Jiang Fangcheng wanted to say, loudly and powerfully. 

However, he couldn’t say that.

Even if he did, he’d only cause himself to be called a scumbag.

The other roommates couldn’t hold it in anymore either. “Right! Your one-sided crush is your own business. You’re already engaged, so what are you doing here hanging onto Qi Qi? What would your fiance think if she were to hear this? Wouldn’t she come looking for Qi Qi?”　

“Exactly, and Qi Qi already has a boyfriend.”　

This made him see red.

Has a boyfriend?

Wouldn’t that be himself?

Wait no, or was it the man from yesterday…

Jiang Fangcheng’s mind was about to explode, it was as if countless meteors were colliding in his mind.

He grabbed Bai Qi by the wrist and dragged him out. “Come out with me, let’s talk in private. I also have something to ask you. Who did you go on a date with yesterday? Who was that man?”

Bai Qi was a little disappointed.

The act of sending the invitation could be considered dumb; to come right to his doorstep was being an asshole; but to say what he had just said, that’s truly being insane.
