My Cool Fiancé Is Still Trying to Win Himself Over Today

On Qiao Jian's thirtieth birthday, his parents suddenly told him he had a fiance. Heard the other guy had just turned nineteen and was still in college. After a moment of surprise, Qiao Jian shook his head with a wry smile. "Ridiculous." He arranged to meet the young man, intending to call off their engagement, which came with a huge age gap. His fiance arrived late at an upscale Western restaurant. Qiao Jian told him, "I'm here to break off our engagement." The sharp-featured young man looked at Qiao Jian's earnest expression and suddenly asked, "Do you know who I am?" Qiao Jian shook his head in confusion. * Xia Buku was an all-around talent who could make a living off his looks, acting skills, or singing. On a whim, he became an esports player, won a championship, and retired on the spot. Then, just to pass the time, he started streaming, and somehow became famous all over the country. The only blemish on his life was being engaged to an old man. Xia Buku would often search the internet for the man's credentials with a cold sneer, imagining how the guy might use their engagement to make a fuss. Who knew Qiao Jian wouldn't even be interested in him? Xia Buku got contrary. Not only would he refuse to break off the engagement, he would call the man Uncle Qiao over and over until he was flustered, and insist on living with the old man, too. His life had always gone smoothly, and he'd never suffered this kind of indignity. No matter what, he was going to win Qiao Jian over. For once, Xia Buku showed his face on stream. The young man had striking, sharply defined features and shone like the sun. He played his game with a neutral expression, when someone suddenly appeared behind him. The man looked to be around thirty. He had a gentle face, wore an old-fashioned sweater, and held a steaming cup of tea. He watched Xia Buku play for a while, then smiled kindly. "Are you raising a little pet?" The chat roared with laughter at how old-fashioned the man looked. But Xia Buku, unusually, didn't snap back. "Yeah. Cute, isn't he?" The chat paused in confusion, then began asking frantically who the man was! Qiao Jian happened to see the comments and smiled gently. "I'm Buku's uncle." Xia Buku's face turned livid. He slammed his fist on the desk. "Uncle, my ass! You won't even acknowledge our engagement! You jerk!"
