My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chi Yuan didn't stay at home for long. He grabbed his clothes and rushed back to Jiang Haochen's apartment. Huang Kai was furious when he left: "You said you were going to treat me to dinner to celebrate your wrap-up."

"I'll be back in a couple of days, and I'll treat you to something even more expensive then."

When he arrived outside the residential area, he saw someone returning from grocery shopping. Chi Yuan thought for a moment, then went over and asked the security guard.

Where is the nearest farmers' market?

Security guard: "The vegetable market is a bit far. The residents here usually go to the supermarket to buy vegetables. It's over there, only a five-minute walk."

Chi Yuan thanked him and turned to walk towards the supermarket.

Once inside the supermarket, Chi Yuan pushed the shopping cart toward the fresh produce section while trying to recall what items were in Jiang Haochen's kitchen.

Mr. Jiang probably doesn't cook much, but there are still some basic seasonings in the kitchen. However, apart from alcohol and some frozen food, there's not much in the refrigerator, which is troubling him.

What does Mr. Jiang like to eat?

His understanding of Jiang Haochen mostly came from the internet and fan groups. However, back then, Mr. Jiang needed to manage his physique, so he ate boiled beef. He probably doesn't need to now.

It's said that Mr. Jiang has been retired from acting for two years, but he's still in great shape. Does he still eat diet and fitness meals on a regular basis?

But if I cook for myself, wouldn't it seem a bit insincere?

The more Chi Yuan thought about it, the more conflicted he became. He could only send Huang Kai a message: "{I'd like to cook a meal for Mr. Jiang, what do you think would be good?}"

Huang Kai: {I invited you out to eat, and you refused, but you went and cooked for someone else instead?}

Chi Yuan: {You're different from him.}

Huang Kai: {I'm not talking anymore.}

Chi Yuan: {I'm serious, please help me think of something, I've been wandering around the supermarket for half an hour.}

Huang Kai sent a speechless emoji: {Just make him whatever he likes to eat.}

Chi Yuan: {If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you.}

Huang Kai, frustrated: {I don't know either. Go ask someone who knows.}

Anyone who knows?

Should I ask Mr. Jiang? But if Mr. Jiang says it's not necessary, then I won't be able to do it.

After thinking for a moment, Chi Yuan thought of someone: {If I ask Assistant Chen, will he tell me? Will I offend him?}

Huang Kai: {It can't be that serious, it's just a question.}

Chi Yuan thought about it and agreed. After a moment's hesitation, he sent a message to Assistant Chen: {Assistant Chen, hello, this is Chi Yuan. I'd like to ask what Mr. Jiang usually likes to eat. If it's convenient, could you tell me?}

Assistant Chen, who was on a video call with his boss, glanced at his phone, somewhat undecided.

In the past, many people had tried to get close to President Jiang and asked him about his preferences, but he had always refused them outright. However, Chi Yuan was the only person President Jiang kept, and he was currently in favor of him.

After thinking for a moment, Assistant Chen decided to consult his boss before acting presumptuously: "Boss, someone asked me about your dietary preferences."

Jiang Haochen frowned: "Who?"

Assistant Chen: "Mr. Chi."

Jiang Haochen exclaimed in surprise, "Chi Yuan?!"

Chi Yuan went back to get his clothes, but judging by the time, he should be back soon.

Jiang Haochen asked, "What does he want to do?"

Assistant Chen replied, "He's at the supermarket now, probably thinking of cooking you a meal."

Jiang Haochen raised an eyebrow: "He can cook? I'm looking forward to it."

The most basic function of a good assistant is to understand the boss's unspoken messages. Assistant Chen immediately replied to Chi Yuan's WeChat message: {President Jiang isn't picky about food, but prefers spicy food and usually eats Sichuan cuisine.}

Chi Yuan: {Thank you, Assistant Chen.}

Assistant Chen: {Of course.}

Luckily I asked.

With a goal in mind, Chi Yuan knew where to start his grocery shopping. He first bought all the commonly used seasonings for Sichuan cuisine in the condiment section, and then went to the fresh produce section to buy vegetables and meat. Although Mr. Jiang isn't a picky eater, in the entertainment industry where maintaining a physique is crucial year-round, Chi Yuan still opted for high-protein foods like beef and shrimp.

After selling everything, Chi Yuan carried two large bags of things back to his apartment.

When entering the door, Chi Yuan did not enter the password himself, but instead rang the doorbell.

When Jiang Haochen opened the door, he saw the boy standing there carrying two large bags. Pretending not to know, he asked, "Weren't you going home to get clothes? Why did you bring so much stuff? Are you going to take over my house?"

Chi Yuansheng was afraid that Jiang Haochen would misunderstand, so he explained, "No, I bought some groceries and thought we wouldn't order takeout tonight, so we could cook together."

Jiang Haochen: "You want me to cook?"

Chi Yuan quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I'll cook, I'll cook for you."

Jiang Haochen deliberately said, "I have very high standards. I'll get angry if it doesn't taste good."

Chi Yuan: "My cooking skills should be pretty good."

Jiang Haochen: "With such confidence, my expectations are really high."

Chi Yuan finally realized that Jiang Haochen was joking with him, and immediately smiled and gave a soft "hmm".

"Come in." Jiang Haochen said, reaching out to help Chi Yuan carry his things, but Chi Yuan dodged him.

"I'll take care of it, you don't need to get involved."

Jiang Haochen ignored him and took it domineeringly: "Hurry up, I'm hungry."

Chi Yuan didn't dare to delay, so he quickly went inside to change his shoes and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

Jiang Haochen placed the items on the kitchen counter and watched with interest as Chi Yuan deftly took out the vegetables.

Feeling awkward under his gaze, Chi Yuan said, "Mr. Jiang, please go ahead and get busy. I'll be there for a while. I'll call you when it's ready."

Jiang Haochen: "Okay, then I'll go back to the meeting."

Chi Yuan then realized that he had disturbed Jiang Haochen's meeting: "Did I just disturb you? Well... then you should go and get back to work."

Jiang Haochen beckoned to the boy with his finger, and when the boy curiously leaned closer, Jiang Haochen also leaned down. Their two different, yet equally handsome faces were less than two centimeters apart: "I helped you review the door code yesterday, and you're still knocking today. Are you doing this on purpose, enjoying the feeling of me opening the door for you?"

Chi Yuan's face immediately turned bright red: "N-no... I just felt..."

"What do you think?"

Chi Yuan: "This is your home after all. If you're home, I should probably knock."

He knows his limits much better than that idiot Cui Dong.

Jiang Haochen lifted the boy's chin with his finger: "You're very sensible, but since I gave you the password, I've given you the right to come and go freely. If I don't want to one day and take that right back, you naturally won't be able to get in anymore."

Chi Yuan blinked rapidly, then quickly lowered his head: "I understand."

Jiang Haochen patted his head: "Looking forward to your cooking."

After saying that, he went to his study to continue his work.

Chi Yuan didn't dare open his eyes until Jiang Haochen left, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"It's precisely because we know that one day we won't be able to get in that we're even more reluctant to use it."
