A Contractual Marriage witBai Qi was going through the unluckiest period of time in his entire life.

His boyfriend married another person.

His boyfriend’s older brother came to him with a cheque book in hand. “I’ll give you fifty million…”

Alright, I understand. I should take this fifty million and leave your younger brother alone, am I right?

“I want to hire you to act as my companion for some time,” the older brother said.

“Huh???” Bai Qi asked.

“No kidding, I can be all things. All from a cute and pure white lotus to a flirtatious and calculative minx! I can even fake a pregnancy, an abortion, a break up and get into a quarrel with you! Please dear sir, do tell, which type would you require me to be?”

Half a month after their marriage, Xi Chengyun brought Bai Qi along to attend a couples reality TV show.

Netizens:

“He’s milking Xi-laoshi’s resources to make his debut huh.”

“You’re truly the best actor of the year. It was only ten days ago when related information between you two started to pop up on Weibo. Ten days later, you’re already married.”

“I can’t believe that Xi-ge is already married QAQ.”

Very soon, the first episode aired.

Everyone realized that Xi Chengyun’s cute little “wife” had a personality of a sweet little bean. He could play the piano, do sports, race cars, speak fluent English, and even do gardening.

What’s more, his entire freaking heart was all about Xi Chengyun. Praises regarding Xi Chengyun overflowed no matter what Bai Qi was doing. He was exactly like a diehard fan who managed to enter the inner circle of his idol.

The fans were stunned. The production team and passerbys couldn’t help but look at them with envy and longing.

Xi Chengyun almost bought into the act too.

He calmly analyzed the situation with his manager. “If it’s true that Bai Qi likes me, I’m done for if I were to divorce him now. He’s young and beautiful. If I were to divorce him after our agreement has ended, he may end up utterly heartbroken. He may end up wandering off the right path…”

This was until Xi Chengyun returned to the bedroom and saw Bai Qi with a phone in his hand. “Uwu, Zhou Qiyuan is so handsome, I want to marry him. Uwu, Lang Ye is so handsome too! And just how are Xia Yang’s legs so long? Oh, Xiang Jingran’s looks are simply incomparable!” squealed Bai Qi.

Xi Chengyun: ?

Damn, those people mentioned were all current popular celebrities in the entertainment industry.

–

Much, much later…

“I believe you now, you really are good at acting,” Xi Chengyun said.

Xi Chengyun locked the door behind himself. “So today, you can act as if you wanted to marry that good-for-nothing Zhou Qiyuan. Then midway through the ceremony, I abducted you and whisked you away to my bridal chamber. What do you think about that?”

Bai Qi: ???h the Best Leading Actor

Chapter 1

Fifty Million (1.1)

《What should I do if my boyfriend of two years suddenly marries another woman?》

1L: Send him to hell!　　

2L: Sadly, reality has proven that scumbags are always the ones who live longer and better than anyone else. *Sigh*.

3L: Play an x-rated video of the both of you during the wedding for the bride to see.

4L: F*ck, sister, you’re really cruel! There’s no need for that. If you do so, your social life will be done for…　　

19L: Post about that scumbag’s behavior within your friend group. This way, at the very least, the people around you will know what a piece of trash he is!　　

20L: Your friend group will only be there for the tea. They’ll be there to look at how flustered you are. Then, they’ll mourn over the matter for a little while. In the end, no one would even remember.

You don’t say…, thought Bai Qi.　

223L: OP, go find a better boyfriend! Bring him to the wedding and annoy the heck out of that douche bag.

224L: The guy you find better be someone who is taller, richer, more handsome, and more gentle than that bastard. He’d also better be someone who drives a luxury car, dresses in a suit and wears luxury watches. Heh, that douche will be mad as hell when he sees that man holding you in his arms.

225L: Sisters upstairs, y’all really have a knack for writing. The pen is all yours. Please go ahead and write more. 　

Very soon, the post went viral. People started to discuss the scenarios mentioned by Level 223 and 224. Well, those scenarios only exist in dramas.

In reality… well in reality, this frustration can only be vented through our own imagination. 　　

779L: It’s not entirely impossible. You can spend some cash to hire a rent boy to act as your new badass boyfriend. Doesn’t that solve it?　　

780L: Darn it, I’ve got no money to hire…　　

Bai Qi licked his lips as he typed out two words: “True that”.　　

If you’ve got the money, why not do something else with it? Why spend the money on hiring people? It’s simply a waste of money and energy on that bastard.

Bai Qi closed the post. Then, he heard a soft thrumming sound.

“Is it raining outside?”

“Did you bring your umbrella? Ah, I didn’t bring mine…”　　

Bai Qi didn’t bring his either. He kept his phone away and took a look at his surroundings.

It was nearing finals. In the library located at the east side of Jing University, many students have gathered together for their final revision.

Bai Qi should have been carefully reviewing his linear algebra too.

However, two hours ago, he received a message from his roommate.

【Qiqi, when will you be back? Jiang Fangcheng is here to pass us an invitation】

【What invitation?】

【Jiang Fangcheng is getting engaged】

【… with who?】

【Ooo, seems like she’s a senior from a sister school】

Bai Qi stared at his phone. He felt horrible. Words stuck in his throat.

Jiang Fangcheng, who was a year his senior, eagerly pursued him when he first entered university. Same-sex marriage had yet to have been legalised during that year. Thus, they did not tell others about their relationship even after getting together.

Man, and just like that, two years have passed. That fellow managed to find a girlfriend behind his back and even organize an engagement banquet. All this and yet Bai Qi didn’t know anything about it!

Just great, now nothing could enter his brain.

Thus after aimlessly browsing the web, he came across the post mentioned above. He then indulged himself in the post for half an hour.

Back to the present, Bai Qi looked up and out the window again. The tiny droplets of rain had turned into a drizzle.　

He quickly packed his things and made his way out of the library, just in case the rain turned heavier later on.

18 minutes later, the door of Dorm 303 flug wide open.

“Qi Qi is back!” The person at the table pointed at the invitation card on the table and then turned to look towards the door.

The figure by the door looked like an 18 to 19 year old. He stood at 1.78m tall, possessing a slender and lean figure. He was wearing a cheese colored down jacket, paired with a pair of light shaded jeans. The combination made him look exceptionally young.

Mu Dong’s brain paused for a second. Then, he shifted his gaze upwards.

Bai Qi had a very attractive face. He had a pair of deep set eyes with long and curly lashes. His features had an indescribable feeling of delicateness to them. At a glance, he gave off a cute, fresh and sparkling vibe.

His fringe was all wet, plastered onto his forehead. There also seemed to be a little moisture in his eyes. He looked like a wet puppy who ran into a snowstorm.

Poor thing, my fatherly heart can’t take this! Mu Dong thought.

“Qi Qi, you were caught in the rain! Quickly, dry yourself off.” Mu Dong promptly fetched a towel and handed it to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi took the towel but didn’t use it. Instead, he threw his bag aside and got himself a cup of hot water.

“Here’s the invitation. Wow, Jiang Fangcheng is freaking amazing. He hasn’t even graduated and yet once he announces he’s engaged, he’s engaged!”“Maybe all the busyness has caused his brain to go kaput. Jiang Fangcheng only sent one invitation to our dorm. The both of you are so close, he should’ve at least sent an individual invitation to our Qi-ge! It should also have an embroidered heart on it or something…”

Chapter 2

Fifty Million (1.2)

Mu Dong passed the invitation to Bai Qi.

Not long after, the other roommates were also back.

Bai Qi dried his hair off as he listened to them gossip. “I heard Jiang Fangcheng’s girlfriend is from quite a rich family. She has even gone overseas as an exchange student in the past.”

“The forum should be crazy right now, ain’t it?”

“Yup.”

“There are even juniors crying, saying that they stanned the wrong ship. Isn’t that just nonsense? There isn’t anything going on between Jiang Fangcheng and our Qi Qi in the first place. Their relationship is a little something called bromance, hehehe!”

Bai Qi was getting a headache with each passing second he listened to them.

Just then, his phone rang. Mu Dong hurriedly took it out of the bag and handed it to him.

Bai Qi took the phone and lowered his gaze towards the screen.

It was an unknown number.

Firstly, he doesn’t order takeouts. Secondly, he doesn’t have any incoming parcels.

Bai Qi declined the call without a blink of an eye.

However, the caller was persistent. The same scenario repeated itself another four times. Then, the person sent him a message.

【Hi, I am Jiang Fangcheng’s older brother. There are some issues that I have to discuss with you face-to-face】

Are they embarking on their mission to annihilate all possible troubles?

And he is the so-called “trouble”?

Bai Qi tightened his grip on his phone.

Very soon, the screen lit up again. It was another call from the same number.

This time, Bai Qi didn’t hang up. “Hello.”

“Hi, you are Bai Qi right? I’m at a cafe near your university. Please head to your school gate. You will see a black SUV with the car plate number, 3V7J. That car will bring you over to the cafe,” the person said in a polite tone.

The man paused for a moment, then, he said with a rich and sensual voice, “I’ll be here waiting for you.”

This voice… It sounds kind of familiar?

Bai Qi gazed downwards, his lashes fluttering lightly. “Alright, I got it,” he said.

Bai Qi got off the phone, took an umbrella, and headed downstairs.

“Ah, Qi Qi, where are you going?” his roommates asked. “It’s super cold today! It may be sleeting!”

“How ‘bout you bring my hot-water bag along with you?”

Bai Qi shook his head and quickly took his leave.

Everything was just as mentioned in the phone call.

Bai Qi saw the black Bently as soon as he reached the school gates.

Next to the car stood a man who by the looks of it, seemed like a bodyguard. He was a fierce-looking man, attired in a black suit with a pair of shades sitting on his nose.

Ah.

He never knew much about Jiang Fangcheng’s family background. Wow, so they have dealings with □□?

Will I be rewarded if I were to report them?

Then Jiang Fangcheng would receive what he deserved all at once too?

A spiral of thoughts ran through Bai Qi’s brain. A strong gust of wind blew in his direction and his umbrella flipped inside out.

“…” Bai Qi reacted.

Not far away, a man dressed in a suit that didn’t quite seem to fit him paused in his tracks.

“Bai Qi?”

The girl next to him clung to his arm tightly. She asked hurriedly in a small voice, “What’s the matter, Fangcheng?”

He didn’t expect to come across Bai Qi as soon as he returned to school.

Bai Qi’s hair was a mess. Water droplets running down his stunning face. He looked fragile and delicate in his current flustered condition.

He must have received the invitation.

He should be really sad, right?

However, there was no choice… Jiang Fangcheng’s eyes darted in his direction. In the future, he will think of a way to console Bai Qi’s wounded soul.

With that, Jiang Fangcheng hardened his heart and walked into the university with the girl.

On the other hand, Bai Qi now stood in front of the Bently. “Hello,” he said.

The bodyguard took off his shades “Good day Sir, are you Mr. Bai Qi?”　

Bai Qi nodded. He was holding onto that umbrella which was on the verge of falling apart, with water still running down his body. He looked so weak and helpless.

The bodyguard acted as if he didn’t notice the water that was all over him. He opened the car door and said, “Please, go ahead.”

Bai Qi said, “There’s water…”

“It’s fine.”

Alright then.

Since they themselves don’t mind.　　

Bai Qi obediently entered the car.

The cafe was not far away, it was around 900m from the university. It was quite a private place. Clearly, its prices were also slightly higher. Hence, few students come here for coffee.

The bodyguard escorted Bai Qi into the shop through the backdoor. Soon, a waiter came and led him to a private room.

There were two people in the private room. The one on the left was shorter and was on the chubbier side.

The one on the right…

Bai Qi froze in place as he lifted his gaze to look at the man.

The man was casually dressed in a grey sweater. His classiness and charisma were so outstanding that it was hard to ignore.

He had a towering figure. Even though he was sitting, one could tell that he was a tall man with long legs.

He had a cup by the handle in one hand. His well-defined fingers draped along the white porcelain. It was like a beautiful piece of art.　　

He looked extraordinarily handsome. Plus, somewhat familiar.　　

The man slowly got up, extending his hand as he gave a slight smile and said, “Nice to meet you, I’m Xi Chengyun.”

He was devastatingly charming, blessed with the finest charisma and oozing classy demeanor. He was “the most precious of all the trees, and when he smiled, the moon would also fall into his embrace”. There is none other in the world like him.
