I’ve Got Money (2)
The paparazzi studio had just encountered the most mind-boggling and confusing event since the creation of their studio.
“Which celebrity doesn’t get worked up over the fact that we have some dirt on them?”
“Are they purposely lying to us?”
“Was the person who answered the phone Xi Chengyun?”
“Who else could it be? It’s his house telephone number, no doubt about that.”
The few people looked at each other. “F*ck! Could the person who picked up the phone possibly be his marriage partner?”
“
” they reacted.
The phone rang again not long after Bai Qi had hung up.
He was pretty free, so he casually picked up the phone again and said, “Hello?”
There was a change in tone on the other end as they said, “Oh, so it wasn’t Mr. Xi who answered the phone
 It’s alright, we can talk to you too. Many celebrities keep their marriages a secret, and do you know why? It’s because once it comes under the public eye, their popularity will plummet. Not only that, their significant other may be subject to social media digging, and then be bashed online till they end up trending on Weibo. It’s a nonstop, 365-day long harassment
”
Bai Qi smacked his lips and said, “No problem. I like being famous.”
“
” they reacted.
“Pak.” The staff hung up the phone.
This person was impossible to talk to!
Bai Qi held the phone between his fingers, feeling as if he hadn’t had enough.
A scheming, cunning, and social climbing bitch. Ah, he really hadn’t had enough yet, he wanted to act more!
Bai Qi placed the receiver back to its original place. Yet, a few seconds later, the phone rang again.
Can’t they just finish what they have to say at one go?
Bai Qi blinked and before he could react, a hand reached over from the side. It took up the receiver and placed it back, hanging up the phone with utmost assertiveness.
Just then, Bai Qi realized that the sound of the hairdryer was gone, and he hadn’t noticed when that happened.
Bai Qi turned around. In front of him, stood Xi Chengyun with his bathrobe slightly slipping open, showing a bit of his chest and abs, a thin but fit layer of muscles.
Of course, that wasn’t the main point
 Bai Qi looked up and met Xi Chengyun’s gaze.
Xi Chengyun seemed to have smiled for a bit.
However, in a flash, the hint of the smile he had vanished into thin air.
Xi Chengyun was staring holes into Bai Qi as he looked him in the eye. “To the public, there’s no need for you to act as if you were the one who tried all things possible to marry me. You don’t need to take the blame.”
“Huh?” Bai Qi replied.
Xi Chengyun paused for a moment before continuing. “I was the one who didn’t make things clear with you. Well, the truth is, I actually need a legal marriage partner for me to inherit some things my mom has left for me with the Trust Foundation,” he said.
Xi Chengyun took two steps back and sat down on the opposite sofa.
He leaned against the sofa, falling into a slightly lazy posture, thus shedding off a bit of his gentleman-like aura. He had been playing too many roles, and now, he finally showed a sprinkle of his true emotions.
His pair of eyes, which displayed countless emotions in the past, was dark and cold as if they were deep pools of endless water.
“I could’ve chosen anyone, even from the start. I’ve never planned on getting married anyway, so, whoever my significant other was really didn’t matter. However, when it came to choosing someone, it wasn’t as easy as we’d thought
 If I were to marry a woman, it’ll leave a huge impact on that person, so I excluded that gender from my selection. Next, because of the uniqueness of my career, most of my fans would be very hostile towards my marriage partner. So, perhaps, that wasn’t something a sum of money can compensate
”
Bai Qi opened his mouth a little.
Ah, wait. Is there some kind of misunderstanding you have regarding a sum of 50 million?
This is a sum of money that can compensate for any type of suffering!
Calmly, Xi Chengyun’s gaze enveloped Bai Qi.
Bai Qi sat there quietly. He wanted to speak, but he closed his mouth again and waited for Xi Chengyun to carry on.
A glimmer flashed through Xi Chengyun’s eyes. Then, he continued and said, “And just then, you happened to enter my field of vision. I paid you some money and brought you out from that swamp, I mean, Jiang Fangcheng. I thought, perhaps a deal like this may be considered fair.”
Ah, with this luck of mine, I don’t even need to buy lottery tickets! Bai Qi thought to himself.
My Sugar Daddy, thank you for taking a fancy in me and giving me 50 million!
