I’m Really Not Pretending to Be Poor

Yu Yu was an utterly ordinary rich second-generation heir. Since he was such a useless layabout, his family decided to sacrifice him in a marriage alliance. The proud young master couldn't bear to let others dictate his fate, so he booked a plane ticket and ran away from the wedding in the middle of the night.

He'd escaped the wedding, but his cards were frozen. With barely a cent in his pockets, the young master had no choice but to lower himself and find someone to share a rental with.

The good news: his new roommate was 189 centimeters tall, with a supermodel face that was a pleasure to look at. The only problem was...

He wore a black T-shirt, track pants, and flip-flops, with bedhead and no sense of personal grooming. No matter how pleasing he was to look at, it didn't make up for that.

His fashion sense was bad, and he was also a miser. He insisted on splitting every bill, and once spent half an hour haggling with a vendor over a cheap street-market item. He drove for two hours and climbed two mountains just to visit a remote farm. Then, when he was charged fifteen yuan for parking, he ranted and left a bad review.

Yu Yu had never met anyone as miserly and poverty-stricken as this cheapskate.

Gu Cheng was born and raised in Nancheng. Though he was loaded, he had always lived by the principle of never wasting a single cent.

To earn a little more rental income, he found a roommate. The guy had delicate, handsome features and a pair of watery puppy-dog eyes that made him look especially innocent and sweet. Gu Cheng fell in love at first sight. The only problem was...

His little roommate had an angel's face and a devil's personality. He was fussy, had OCD, and couldn't stand the slightest thing being out of place. He was full of annoying habits and was always bossing Gu Cheng around, finding fault with everything he did.

Gu Cheng had never met such a spoiled, arrogant little brat who acted like he was all that.

.

Later, the two men who couldn't stand each other ended up together.

Gu Cheng handed over all his bank cards, while Yu Yu came clean about who he really was.

Yu Yu stared at the countless zeros in Gu Cheng's account balance and the outfit that cost less than a hundred yuan in total, lost in thought.

Remembering how the other man had once been so broke he needed Gu Cheng to support him, Gu Cheng stared blankly into space.

The next second, they both blurted out, "You were pretending to be poor!"

#Too funny! They both thought they were dating a penniless cheapskate, only to discover that their partner was rolling in money. #
