[Polished, Money-Grubbing Bottom x A Rich Top Who Keeps Pleading, "Wife, Don't Go!" ]
Qian Rui lives up to his name: he can't live without money, and his childhood dream was to enjoy a life free from want.
He achieved that dream with a face that could charm the flowers right off the trees.
The only catch was that rich men weren't necessarily normal, so he dumped one after another...
This time, though, his new boyfriend was kicked out by his family before Qian Rui had even had a chance to enjoy his money.
Qian Rui broke up with him on the spot!
His ex chased after him and broke a bone in the process.
Qian Rui had always been heartless, but he couldn't bring himself to abandon a sick man, so he had no choice but to find a rich boyfriend to pay for his treatment.
What he didn't expect was to run into an ex he'd dumped at a bar.
Years had passed, and that ex had built a successful career from scratch.
Qian Rui figured his ex would beat him to a pulp. He'd already gathered his tips and was getting ready to run, but instead the man asked, "Why have you lost weight?"
Qian Rui immediately wiped his eyes and put on a feeble act. "I haven't, it's just... cough, cough, cough! I haven't eaten in days."
His ex laughed cruelly. "Qian Rui, who are you trying to fool? Would you ever let yourself go hungry?"
Qian Rui blinked. He really wouldn't.
His ex asked, "Are you in desperate need of money?"
Qian Rui touched the fluffy rabbit ears on his head and replied with heartfelt sincerity, "Yeah. My boyfriend's sick, and I need to raise money for his treatment."
"How much for one night with you?"
Qian Rui said, "Fifty thousand. But since we're exes, I'll give you a discount: eighty thousand."
His ex said, "Deal."
After their night together, his ex transferred a hundred thousand to Qian Rui and asked, "What should you call me now?"
Covered in marks, Qian Rui counted the money on his phone and said, "Mwah, mwah, mwah~ Hubby, I love you."
His ex said, "Look at me when you say it!"
