Defiance

[Blurb]

Gu Zhouzhong's boyfriend... no, ex-boyfriend, cheated on him and found an eighteen-year-old C-list star seven years younger than himself.

So he found a new boyfriend, eight years younger.

Meng Xianqi: Is this something we have to compete over, too?

He laid down four rules for his young boyfriend.

1. In public, we're boyfriends. In private, you can be whoever you want.

2. We're both men, so let's take care of our physical needs in a reasonable way.

3. You can be interested in me, but if you're after my money, get lost.

4. The relationship ends when my ex and the young star break up.

Meng Xianqi: "So, free sex?"

Gu "I refuse to admit it" Zhouzhong, "I don't mind being called stingy": "That's a good summary. Don't do it again."

But the ex-boyfriend and the young star were so smitten with each other that they got married. Gu Zhouzhong shut his eyes and chose to play dead.

Meng Xianqi: "President Gu, what would you say our relationship is?"

Gu "I'm too stubborn to admit it" Zhouzhong: "You can always get divorced after getting married."

The ex-boyfriend and the young star had a baby.

Meng Xianqi leaned over him. "President Gu, I've been letting you have free sex with me for so long. The least you can do is take responsibility, right?"

Gu Zhouzhong was close to tears. "How much is the bride price in your family? If it's over a hundred thousand, I'll have to think about it."

Meng Xianqi: "Maybe you can stick to your usual style and keep having free sex with me."

Gu Zhouzhong: "?! I'm definitely marrying you!"

[Bonus Scene]

Gu Zhouzhong: "Your name sounds pretty world-weary."

Meng Xianqi: "Your name isn't bad either. Say it a few times and you'll mix up the flat and retroflex sounds."
