Your Boyfriend is Great! He's Mine Now - Chapter 9

A single sentence drew dozens of gossiping gazes.

Xiao Yu’s pursuit of Shen Xubai back in the day had caused quite a stir four years of chasing and three years of being together. Everyone thought they were deeply in love, only for them to suddenly break up. The fact that Xiao Yu held a high-profile “Single Party” made everyone believe there was definitely something fishy going on.

So, most people present today came to have fun on the surface, but in reality, they were here to listen to gossip. After all, the houses, cars, and money that ordinary people struggle for their whole lives were things they were born with; without the motivation to struggle, they had to find some entertainment to pass the time.

“Hey, what does Young Master Su mean? Does Xiao Shao’s breakup have something to do with that person?”

“No idea, keep watching. Young Master Su has a fiery temper; that person is in for it.”

“It’s fine. If it really has something to do with him, Xiao Shao will step in.”

“Forget it. Would Xiao Shao even set his eyes on him? A toad lusting after swan meat he’s not even worthy!”

“Haha… I know you like Xiao Shao, keep your voice down.”

The continuous stream of mockery drifted into Lin Jinghe’s ears. His lithe figure looked as if it couldn’t withstand a single blow. “Young Master Su, please keep your mouth clean.”

“You want it clean too? Then don’t do dirty things.”

Su Chen had a background, and Lin Jinghe knew his own limitations. Apart from swallowing his anger, he had no other way out.

His fair, handsome face flushed a deep red. He glanced at Xiao Yu, who seemed unconcerned, then lowered his head and bit his lip, tears plopping down one by one.

“Stop crying, damn it! I haven’t even hit you yet! How can a man be such a sissy?”

Su Chen hated his “crying at the drop of a hat” act the most. He used to frequently seek attention in front of Shen Xubai this way.

His Brother Shen couldn’t be bothered to care, but he wasn’t that magnanimous.

“Xiao Yu, why did you and Brother Shen break up? Did you do something to let Brother Shen down?”

Xiao Yu’s good mood was ruined again. He stood up, his gaze somewhat unfriendly. “Young Master Su, you’re meddling a bit too much, aren’t you?”

“Cut the crap! Did you sleep with Lin Jinghe or not!”

Xiao Yu had long found him an eyesore, following Shen Xubai around all day and often badmouthing him. Don’t think he didn’t know.

Perhaps Shen Xubai’s insistence on breaking up was instigated by this person.

“He told you that?”

“Brother Shen wouldn’t badmouth people behind their backs. I have eyes, I’m not blind.”

“So it wasn’t him who said it? Then does he know you came to this party?”

Su Chen felt a chill. “Xiao Yu, what do you mean?! Let me tell you, since you and Brother Shen have broken up, you aren’t allowed to go bother him again.”

Xiao Yu lazily crossed his arms. “Who are you to me? On what basis are you ordering me around?”

“You damn—!”

Qin Yuze saw that the situation was turning bad and hurriedly dragged the person away. “Hey, hey, hey, ancestor, don’t be impulsive.”

“Xiao Yu, you damn asshole, you dog thing, you scumbag!”

Su Chen was about to explode with anger, waving his fists at the air. “Qin Yuze, let me go! I have to beat this grandson today!”

“Ancestor, settle down…”

The voices gradually faded, and the people watching the commotion dispersed along with them.

Two tall figures stood by the rockery, watching the lively interlude with interest.

“High school student?”

Gu Linyuan shot him a glance. “What kind of eyes do you have? That’s the Su family’s youngest son.”

“You know him.”

Gu Linyuan bit his cigarette and exhaled a puff of white smoke, his expression languid. “His friend.”

“Quite a magnet.”

Gu Linyuan let out a scoff with an unclear meaning. “It was like this before, too. Always surrounded by many stray cats and dogs. Very annoying, isn’t it?”

But later, the Shen family fell, and those people suddenly disappeared.

That was great.

Chen Yanzhi tilted his body, his rugged features half in light and half in shadow. “Restrain yourself, be careful not to scare him away.”

“Break his legs and he won’t be able to run.”

Chen Yanzhi nodded. “Good idea. Should’ve done that four years ago.”

“…”

Gu Linyuan was uncharacteristically stumped. “Lunatic.”

Chen Yanzhi smiled, tilting his wine glass. “To the lunatic.”

The glass made a crisp clinking sound, hidden in the night, with no one to know.

The revelry continued, everywhere filled with the unspoken desires of adults.

Wang Yao felt more and more that something wasn’t right, and couldn’t help but pull the man aside. “Old Xiao, what exactly do you mean?”

Xiao Yu lit a cigarette and took a puff before speaking. “What do you mean, what do I mean?”

“Listening to what you said to Su Chen, you wouldn’t be thinking of eating old grass, would you?”

Xiao Yu didn’t refute it, only giving a soft grunt.

“Oh my, you really are sick. You got caught sleeping around by him, and you still want to reconcile? You know full well how pretentiously high-and-mighty that Shen Xubai is.”

Xiao Yu was a bit impatient. “Can’t he be the one to take the initiative to reconcile with me?”

Wang Yao sneered. “Is that possible?”

“Whose side the hell are you on?”

Xiao Yu was absolutely fed up with his days. Broke up in the morning, threw a tantrum at the villa in the afternoon, and was harassed by people one after another at night. His patience had reached its limit.

“Haven’t I been good enough to him? Giving him money, houses, cars, and he just doesn’t want them. He insists on living in that dump and working that dead-end job. I just slept with someone, I didn’t marry them, what is he making a fuss about?!”

“No, buddy, you’ve got me confused.”

Wang Yao truly couldn’t see through him.

Say he’s lovesick, he goes out and messes around, and gets caught red-handed by his legitimate boyfriend.

Say he’s just playing around he acts like a “pure love warrior.”

“What exactly are you thinking? By your account, if you like him so much, then why do you have to sleep with them?”

“What do you think?”

Wang Yao had a blank look on his face. “I don’t know. I thought you were bored. After all, it’s been so many years, even a fairy should be bored by now.”

Xiao Yu had bitterness in his heart that no one could talk to.

Everyone thought he was “bored of sleeping with him,” but in reality, he hadn’t even slept with him once.

Who would believe that if he said it out loud?

Everyone around him knew he chased Shen Xubai for four years and dated for three. If he said he hadn’t even had a bite, he wouldn’t need to wait for Shen Xubai to take the initiative to reconcile he could jump into the moat tonight.

He couldn’t afford to lose that kind of face.

Seeing him silent, Wang Yao thought he had guessed correctly and consoled him, “Shen Xubai is so rigid, with a straight face all day long. I guess he’s not open in bed, either. It’s normal that you’re bored.”

“Bullshit! He’s damn wild.”

Xiao Yu was determined to regain his face. “Although I am a little bored, I haven’t slept enough.”

Wasn’t this self-contradictory?

Wang Yao couldn’t understand it, his face displaying a complex, indistinguishable look. After a long while, he patted his shoulder. “I thought I was scummy enough, but I didn’t expect you to scum in new ways.”

“You really are a model for all of us!”

“If you don’t pick on me for one day, you’ll die, won’t you?!”

“Brother, let me smooth it out for you. You held this Single Party in such a high-profile manner, just to make him jealous?”

Xiao Yu spoke vaguely. “You could say that.”

Mostly, he was thinking that if Shen Xubai were truly willing to swallow his pride and reconcile, then from now on, he would be the one in charge at home.

If he said east, Shen Xubai wouldn’t dare go west; whatever he asked Shen Xubai to do, Shen Xubai wouldn’t refuse.

At the mere thought of that scene, he was so excited he could hardly control himself.

“Do you want your brother here to give you an idea?”

“What good ideas could you possibly have?”

Wang Yao raised an eyebrow. “Just tell me if you’re going to listen or not!”

Xiao Yu was half-doubting, but he leaned his ear over. The more he heard, the more confident he became. “Let’s do it this way.”
