Arc 1 – Slag that Rich Old Man
Chapter 29 (Part 2)

When he later realised that those tears couldn’t be stopped, Li Yihan gave up and leaned against his car, allowing Qi Yuan to lean on himself. He didn’t know how much time had passed but, in any case, it was long enough for Li Yihan’s waist to go numb.

Chi Zhao held tightly onto his waist and was no longer sniffling. Only his nose and the corners of his eyes were still a little red.

He buried his head into Li Yihan’s chest and said with a muffled voice, “Mister, I was wrong.”

This apology was very different from before, but Li Yihan didn’t know how it was different. In any case, he felt like a huge rock had just been moved off from his chest.

He stroked Qi Yuan’s back and whispered, “I don’t blame you.”

Those earlier small commotions and his act of cheating were all because Qi Yuan wanted to leave him. As for his later act of stealing documents and selling them for money, it was because of the words his aunt had said to him. Those words had left a thorn in Qi Yuan’s heart, making him feel like he was a burden and that as long as he was around and Li Yihan treated him well, the corporation would deteriorate day by day. After all, even the froth from people’s mouths can drown people.

Even todays act of loosening the bolts, Li Yihan understood the reason for it. It was because he was desperate. No matter what he did, he couldn’t get the results he wanted so he had decided to take an extreme measure and give himself an attempted murder hat. With this, he would definitely be driven out of the Li Family’s door.

Even if he wasn’t driven out, he could leave himself and conveniently use the excuse of fleeing after committing a crime. It was just that he couldn’t do it in the end. After a moment of impulse, Qi Yuan eventually realised that it was wrong.

After all, he was still a child. Children can make mistakes.

If the system and Chi Zhao knew of Li Yihan’s thoughts, they would both definitely give him a big thumbs up ——— Brother, you’re good.

“Mister.”

Chi Zhao’s voice sounded both fragile and weak. Li Yihan lowered his eyes while Chi Zhao raised his head to look at him. Like this, the two looked at each other for a while. Chi Zhao once again had the urge to cry but thinking than men should be tough and that he shouldn’t cry again, he quickly wiped away the tears that had leaked out and said softly, “Mister, I love you too.”

Li Yihan’s I love you was something that could be said without paying a price for it, but Chi Zhao’s I love you placed his body and chances of resurrection at stake. Although it didn’t sound too serious, the longer it was dragged on for, the greater the chance of failing to be resurrected. Chi Zhao was basically putting everything that he had at stake here.

Li Yihan was stunned. His gaze changed and he opened his mouth to speak but before he could, another voice poured into Chi Zhao’s mind first.

【Wuuu—– What kind of legendary love is this?! Host, since you’re going all out, I’ll go all out too. I also don’t want my reward anymore. Let’s just spend our days here and we can continue our contract when we get to the next world. Wuuuu——】

Chi Zhao: “……..Shut up.”

In fact, even if Chi Zhao didn’t give up, the system had already given up. Even since Li Yihan walked into the garage, the plot had already completely collapsed to the point that its mother wouldn’t be able to recognise it. Without a car accident, the Li Corporation will not go bankrupt, and if the Li Corporation doesn’t go bankrupt, there naturally would not be the subsequent series of retaliations happening. Moreover, looking at the current situation, even if Li Yihan didn’t realise and really got into an accident, the first thing he would do after waking would not be restoring his business but to find the host and tie him to his side, preventing him from leaving again.

In any case, the host would not be tortured to death like the original plotline so what was the point of struggling?

After giving up completely, there were no more entanglements in his heart. Chi Zhao naturally no longer made mischief and Li Yihan’s life finally went back onto its tracks. There was however something Chi Zhao had always wanted to know.

“How did you know that I was in the underground garage?”

Li Yihan didn’t answer. He just brought Chi Zhao to the laptop in his bedroom.

Seeing the surveillance screens on it, Chi Zhao fell silent for a moment. He then asked with confusion, “What made you think of checking the surveillance cameras?”

Li Yihan rubbed Chi Zhao’s head, “You made it so obvious that you’re about to escape so of course I have to be more vigilant.”

Suddenly receiving a large sum of money, Li Yihan realised that Qi Yuan may want to settle things here and leave but he didn’t expect Qi Yuan to do it so quickly. Fortunately before he went home, Uncle Zhang had suddenly given him a call.

It wasn’t that he disliked Qi Yuan, he was just keenly aware that Qi Yuan had no intention to stay by Li Yihan’s side. In a relationship where one is thinking about their future while the other is thinking about how to leave, it is one that is destined to fail. Uncle Zang didn’t want to watch Li Yihan who had finally opened up to love to suddenly experience such a heartbreak and that was why his attitude towards Qi Yuan changed.

But when he heard those words from Qi Yuan that day, he couldn’t help but think that something didn’t seem quite right. Thinking this, he called Li Yihan and told him about the conversation he just had with Qi Yuan. Li Yihan was smarter than Uncle Zhang. He very quickly worked out that Qi Yuan was planning to leave.

Chi Zhao lowered his head guiltily, “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologise to me.”

Chi Zhao looked at Li Yihan, confused. He didn’t understand what he meant. This time, Li Yihan’s hand didn’t habitually fall onto the back of Qi Yuan’s neck. Instead, it followed the line behind Qi Yuan’s ears before slowly moving over to his cheek. He said, “Tell me that you won’t leave anymore.”

Chi Zhao frowned and muttered in a small voice, “I originally didn’t intend on leaving.”

The reason for his stay is Li Yihan. If he leaves Li Yihan then for what reason would he stay here for? He should just break his limbs and go off to the next world to complete his next mission.

Li Yihan hooked up his lips slightly. He bent down and kissed the corner of his lips, “That’s good then.”

………….

………….

………….

Li Yihan, the head of the Li Family, had lost his youth at a young age. After experiencing great setbacks in life early on, his life finally went on a smooth track. No matter what, whether it was love or work, he never encountered another problem.

Under his leadership, the Li Corporation quickly became one of the top three companies in the country and it was also ranked among the top fifty in the world. Although he had an endless supply of money, Li Yihan rarely enjoyed it. What he liked most was returning home to his love and spending time together like ordinary couples.

People knew very little about Li Yihan’s lover. They only knew that the other party was a man. Besides that, no one knew what his surname was, what his job was or how he looked. There were rumours that Li Yihan’s lover was his adopted son and that they have violated social ethics but as soon as this rumour came out, it was shot down by many businessmen as fake news and was soon forgotten.

Li Yihan lived until a very old age, but he unfortunately couldn’t last a little longer. Two years after his death, same-sex marriage was legalised, but this famous and talented gay businessman was unable to get a marriage certificate with his lover.

The outsiders felt that it was such a pity, but they were just being too involved with other people’s business. Li Yihan himself didn’t care about getting a certificate with Qi Yuan. He was just a little regretful; he should’ve gotten to know Qi Yuan earlier instead of just donating money. If he got to know him earlier, he would’ve been able to accompany Qi Yuan longer instead of leaving him behind, making him spend his remaining years alone.

But this worry of his was unnecessary. Chi Zhao naturally wouldn’t stay in a world without him. After Li Yihan was buried, Chi Zhao asked the system to shield him from the pain and then sat next to Li Yihan’s gravestone, closed his eyes and fired a shot at himself.

He didn’t do it deliberately to make it so sad, but there were only a few options for suicide. The others were mostly difficult to deal with and dying here made it convenient for the others as they could just check it and bury his body directly afterwards.

Chi Zhao thought he was being very considerate but what he didn’t know was that this act of his caused a sensation to ripple through the world. In the end, he and Li Yihan became a beautiful love story passed down through generations for many, many years.

When the world transfer once again started, the system used this opportunity to make a few changes to Chi Zhao. It filtered out all his emotional attachments for the previous world and carefully stored them aside.

Chi Zhao had no knowledge of this. He still had the memories but his feelings had faded significantly. He still remembered that he loved Li Yihan very much and everything they had done together. Technically speaking, Li Yihan had only been dead for a few days. He should be sad but somehow, he was very calm.

Chi Zhao thought it was because his mental fortitude was good, so he didn’t think much of it.

Moreover, he didn’t have the chance to think about it.

After lying on the ground retching for a long time, Chi Zhao looked up with a sickly expression, “You big liar. Didn’t you say that only the first world would be uncomfortable?!”

【Yes I did. See how you haven’t vomited anything out? This is an improvement.】

Chi Zhao had no energy to argue with the system “Give me the information.”

【Okies.】

Hah. Chi Zhao’s expression remained indifferent and cold.

What was the use of acting cute? Even acting cute cannot hide the systems dastardly ways.
