A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 96
Xi-ge is a Good Man (3)
The comments online didn’t affect him at all, but the way Bai Qi talked… the way he dragged out the word ‘handsome’ with his red lips while his eyelashes gently fluttered… it was kinda cute.
Xi Chengyun sharpened his gaze and asked in a low voice, “Where did you learn to play ice hockey?”
“A personal trainer,” Bai Qi said nonchalantly. “Back then, I even learned golf, snooker, and I almost went to learn how to fly a plane… I was young back then. I thought I would be cool if I learned something unconventional, so I went!”
“You’ve learned well,” Xi Chengyun commented.
Bai Qi turned and smiled at him.
“How about gardening? Is it also because of that?” Xi Chengyun had no idea why he would ask about that.
It was likely a natural reaction that was hard to control. He wanted to take off Bai Qi’s jacket and see more of Bai Qi as his true self.
Bai Qi shook his head. “Oh, that isn’t the case for gardening.”
He seemed to be a bit thirsty and he licked his lips.
Xi Chengyun immediately stood up and asked, “Milk or soda?”
“Plain water will do,” Bai Qi naturally answered.
Plain water quenches thirst.
After he said that, he suddenly realized something. “How dare I ask for you to do this for me?”
‘He is my rich boss!’
“It’s fine,” Xi Chengyun replied.
He handed the glass cup to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi took two sips and continued, “On a stormy night when I was 15, I wasn’t able to fall asleep. I tossed and turned and I was still drowned in sadness. I thought that I was going to sleep on the streets the next day… and then I got up and went online to search for the fastest way to make money.”
“Someone said to win a lottery, but my luck has never been good.”
“Another person said to become a programmer because they earn a lot fast, but they also became bald fast. At that point, I was only in senior high.”
“Then, I found news saying that orchids could be sold for an exorbitant price. I figured that I’d just plant flowers, and I’ll never need to worry about starving to death.”
Youngsters act on whatever they think of.
“I went to a plantation and learned from them for 3 months. The greenhouse next door planted vegetables, so I gave it some thought and went ahead to learn from them as well. This way, if I’m broke, I can plant sweet potatoes to sustain myself.”
“…”
He sounds pitiful yet cute, and also a little funny.
15-year-old Bai Qi would’ve never thought that one day, the fastest way for him to make money would be for him to get married.
Bai Qi smacked his lips. “Later on, I figured that since I know how to plant vegetables, I should be able to cook as well. Wouldn’t it be a waste if I could bring vegetables to live but not be able to eat them? That’s why I went to learn how to cook.”
Just as Bai Qi finished, his phone ran out of battery.
Bai Qi promptly stood up. “I’m going to charge my phone.”
He left Xi Chengyun alone on the sofa, an emptiness appearing next to him.
However, soon after, Bai Qi stuck his head out from upstairs. “For the interview… Do we have a script to follow?”
“No, and the entire program is also pretty short. They won’t…” ‘Make things difficult for you.’ Before he finished his sentence——
He heard Bai Qi ask, “Then, should we discuss certain things first? Will there be a situation where we are encouraged to kiss?”
“There… will be, I think,” Xi Chengyun replied.
“Then should I kiss your chin again?”
Xi Chengyun felt a tightness in his throat. “No, somewhere else.”
Bai Qi signaled an ‘OK’ with his fingers and retreated into his bedroom.
Xi Chengyun sat there and didn’t move for a long time.
The next day, Xi Chengyun went to settle the piled-up matters at hand.
Bai Qi went to campus to pick some things up and to have tea with Shang Guang.
Shang Guang arrived earlier than him.
As soon as he saw Bai Qi, he immediately escorted him to their table.
“Here, sit.”
“Congratulations, you’ve passed all your final papers, right?” Shang Guang smiled and said.
Xi Chengyun was his study buddy and this caused the whole internet to pay extra attention to Bai Qi’s exam results.
Thankfully, the academic tyrant didn’t disappoint.
He passed all subjects smoothly.
This morning, this topic was still being widely discussed online.
There were even more people asking Bai Qi to start a tuition class.
Bai Qi politely nodded with his teacup in hand, signaling for Shang Guang to continue.
Shang Guang rubbed his hands together and decided to go straight to the point.
“There are things that Xi-ge can’t tell you, and it’s easier for me to let you know.”
“Mn? Go on.” Bai Qi straightened his back and sat there obediently.
‘Do they want to extend or cut short our period stipulated in the contract?’
‘Or do they want to increase or decrease the agreed pay?’
“Okay, so since the beginning, it didn’t matter who Xi-ge’s marriage partner was, be it a man or woman, you know that, right?”
Bai Qi nodded. “Yup. Xi-ge said that such a marriage will have a greater impact on a woman, so he chose a man. The reason he chose me was that I happened to be tricked by Jiang Fangcheng. It was unlikely that I’d want to enter another relationship soon and, because of that, we could simply talk business. He’d help me, and I’d help him.”
Shang Guang nodded and continued, “Yes, yes. Seems like Xi-ge has drawn things clearly with you. But there is one thing that he didn’t mention… and that is why you both have to be lovey-dovey in front of the public.”
Bai Qi nodded.
Actually, he was also very curious to know why.
If it was just to adhere to the requirements stated in an inheritance will, it wasn’t likely that such a clause that requires the inheritor to have a loving relationship with his partner would be specified.
Even the laws aren’t binding on such clauses.
So a legal marriage certificate is enough for their marriage to be valid.
