Chapter 63

Zong Mo forgot to ask about the “daughter-in-law” matter.
Having already left the hospital, he had missed the most opportune moment, and now he didn’t know how to bring it up.
Ruan Chi probably liked him, or at least he was special to him. Ruan Chi was not the type to be secretive or shy, so why didn’t he just tell him?
After much thought, Zong Mo finally figured it out.
One, he had never asked.
Two, because of their relationship.
Ruan Chi didn’t need to say anything for their relationship to continue. They would always be together—as a sponsor and a golden canary, not like an ordinary couple who would “be together” after a confession.
This was also an important reason why Zong Mo dared not ask, because their statuses were extremely unequal.

One night while tossing and turning, Zong Mo had a sudden epiphany.
If he wanted to change their current relationship, he first needed to interact with Ruan Chi on an equal footing.
He didn’t know how to start, so he chose to post on the internet for advice.
Fully utilizing what he had learned from surfing the web, he skillfully wrote the opening: [I have a friend…]
Then he carefully considered the subsequent pronouns.
Pronouns like “boyfriend” or “partner” were not suitable. This kind of relationship did not exist between him and Ruan Chi; they only did that kind of thing.
Zong Mo paused, deleted, and revised several times, finally managing to write a short essay in the question box.
[I have a friend who has been living in a very rich man’s house. They have done many intimate things, but they are not in a relationship. My friend hopes to have an equal relationship with him. Does anyone have any suggestions QAQ]
The first comment saw through his disguise and repeated: [I have a friend…]
Zong Mo: …
The next one: [Isn’t this just a fck buddy? Don’t fantasize about turning a fck buddy into a real relationship. Wake up.]
Zong Mo: …
[emmm, if the other person is very rich… why not just enjoy it for a few years? It’s a win-win.]
[lz, is the gap between you and the other person very large?]
[He specially mentioned that the other person is very rich, so it probably is.]
[Actually, it’s not a f*ck buddy, it’s sponsorship, right?]
Zong Mo: ?

He was about to delete his question when he finally saw a few serious replies.
[Little sister, I sincerely suggest you move out first. Only by moving out can you think calmly. Otherwise, you will only sink deeper and deeper.]
[Agreed. This is the reason why girls ask to have their names added to their husband’s property deed when they get married. Otherwise, it’s like living in someone else’s house, and you always have to be one step lower. Of course, if you have the ability, it’s better to buy your own house. A house is your confidence to speak~]
Although he was not a “little sister,” these words made sense.
Except for work-related matters and things he couldn’t guarantee he could do, Ruan Chi had never refused him anything.
But this matter was a bit more serious. Zong Mo specially chose a day when Ruan Chi was in a good mood.
Before bed, Zong Mo hugged him from behind and called out, “CEO Ruan.”
Ruan Chi, with his back to him, let out a soft “hmm?”.
Zong Mo mustered his courage and said, “I want to move out.”
Ruan Chi turned over, “What?”
His face was a little grim, looking a bit angry.
Zong Mo continued, “I can’t live here forever, right? I also want to have my own home, earn money to buy a house. If I can’t afford it, I can rent one first…”
Ruan Chi’s tone was chillingly calm, “What are you thinking?”

Living alone in such a big house must be lonely. If Ruan Chi wanted someone to accompany him, he could also not move out. After all, the purpose of him moving out was just to find a different way to get along with Ruan Chi, not to really leave.
But Ruan Chi’s next sentence was, “Have you forgotten your identity, Zong Mo?”
Zong Mo was stunned.
Is he referring to his identity as a golden canary?
Or just… a toy?
The words of explanation suddenly got stuck in his throat, making it hard for him to breathe.
And the matter of wanting to move out had inexplicably angered Ruan Chi. He was angry for several days.
He only demanded sex, said nothing else, and didn’t even call his name much, as if he really treated him as a tool for venting his desires.
It was the first time Zong Mo had experienced such a cold shoulder. Perhaps it couldn’t be called a cold shoulder… perhaps this was the normal relationship between f*ck buddies, and the way a sponsor and a golden canary should get along.
But he couldn’t accept it. He was completely out of mood.

Zong Mo was tough for a rare change and refused, “I don’t want to do it today.”
Ruan Chi said in a deep voice, “I told you, you can’t refuse when I have a need. You agreed to it yourself. Have you forgotten?”
“I haven’t forgotten,” Zong Mo said. “But… can we have a good talk?”
Ruan Chi clearly didn’t want to talk and just started with his hands.
Zong Mo: …
He had also thought that since he was the one on top, as long as he couldn’t get hard, Ruan Chi couldn’t do anything to him.
But his young and vigorous body was too honest. After discovering his feelings, it became even harder to resist the impulse to be close to the person in front of him.
He had been fine even when he was tired and sick before, but now he had really gone limp.
He knew it was because he was in a bad mood, but Ruan Chi didn’t want to listen to his explanation and only got angrier.
“I’ve been too tired lately…” Zong Mo tried to salvage the situation.
Ruan Chi endured and endured, but in the end, he didn’t explode. He just said in a cold voice, “Go back to your room.”

Just as the sky was breaking, Zong Mo climbed out of bed.
Or rather, he had been sleepless all night, staying alone in his room until it was time to make breakfast. His hand had gripped the doorknob several times, but he didn’t have the courage to open the door.
He stood stiffly at the door for a long time and finally heard the sound of the door opening from next door.
Ruan Chi came out of his room. If he went downstairs and didn’t see breakfast ready, he would usually call him to wake him up.
Today, Zong Mo did not wait for this call.
An hour later, he finally went out and downstairs. The living room and dining room were both empty.
…Why on earth did it become like this?
Didn’t he just mention once that he wanted to move out?

Zong Mo didn’t really want to stay at home and went out alone for a rare time.
The security around the villa was very good, so there was no need to worry about being followed by paparazzi or running into fans. But today, he just wanted to be far away from here, and it wasn’t convenient to go to a very crowded place. Not knowing where to go, he first hailed a taxi.
The taxi drove for nearly an hour before stopping, leaving the bustling city far behind in the hazy morning mist.
Zong Mo’s request to the driver was “find a remote place with a good view and few people.” The driver did not fail his mission and took him to a lakeside in the suburbs.
It was a weekday morning, and the lakeside was quiet and desolate. Occasionally, a few retired elderly couples would stroll by leisurely.
Zong Mo sat down on a bench by the lake, facing the open and vast lake surface.
He didn’t know how long had passed, perhaps it was close to noon. He hadn’t eaten breakfast in the morning and was hungry now. He took out his phone and opened the chat interface with Ruan Chi.
[Are you angry because I said I wanted to move out? That’s not what I meant.]
He thought for a moment and deleted the text in the input box.
This issue couldn’t be explained in a few words, and he didn’t want to apologize at length. After all, he hadn’t done anything wrong.
He typed again: [CEO Ruan, are you free for lunch? Do you want to go out to eat?]
It was better to talk in person, in a place with a better atmosphere.
They had never eaten out together before.
After typing this line, he didn’t delete it immediately and was still hesitant. He simply stood up, looked around, and suddenly paused.
The car on the side of the road seemed to be…
In such a big city like A, could he run into Ruan Chi by chance on a random trip, and in such a desolate place?
Wait, that’s not right.
Ruan Chi got out of the car, looking down at his phone all the way. He only stopped and looked up when he was a few meters away, his gaze accurately locking onto Zong Mo.
Zong Mo’s heart skipped a beat.
Ruan Chi said in a deep voice, “Zong Mo, where do you want to go?”
“CEO Ruan…” Zong Mo called out first, frowning, wanting to say something but holding back several times, before finally asking in disbelief, “Did you install a tracking device on my phone?”
Ruan Chi retorted, “What do you think?”
No wonder he didn’t restrict Zong Mo’s freedom, letting him go wherever he wanted, because everything was under his control.
But he hadn’t run around before… no, he had met with Lu Bo alone after filming Chasing the Light Boy.
Although the tracking device made him uncomfortable, he also had to explain the matter of meeting with Lu Bo in private to Ruan Chi, to prevent the already angry Ruan Chi from bringing up old scores and being even more unforgiving. Anyway, he hadn’t done anything unspeakable.

“CEO Ruan,” Zong Mo calmed down a little and said in a gentle voice, “Have you been monitoring my location all along?”
“Do I have that much free time?”
Zong Mo considered for a few seconds and took the initiative to confess, “I met with Teacher Lu once before the New Year.”
“So you’re telling me now… what’s the meaning?”
Zong Mo said with difficulty, “It was just a simple meal. I don’t want you to mis…”
“Oh, I remember now,” Ruan Chi interrupted him. “Did Lu Bo tell you that I treat you like a toy?”
Zong Mo looked up, asking him with his eyes: Is that so?
“You don’t have to ask him. I can tell you now,” Ruan Chi’s voice was as calm as the lake behind him. “It is indeed like that.”
The air within a few meters suddenly froze. Ruan Chi continued relentlessly, “So, know your place. Come back with me. Do you understand?”
Zong Mo had a lump in his throat and couldn’t speak.
He naturally refused to go over and just stood there, in a standoff with Ruan Chi from a distance of three meters.

“CEO Ruan,” Zong Mo spoke again. “What kind of contract did we sign?”
“There’s a huge penalty for breach of contract that you can’t afford.”
“But the contract doesn’t require me to obey you, does it?” Zong Mo said. “Maybe there’s only one clause, requiring me to live in your house.”
If there was a clause in the contract that he couldn’t refuse intimate acts, the original Zong Mo was the main shou, after all. How could he have signed such a contract?
And he had been afraid of Ruan Chi and had lived in Ruan Chi’s house for three years. No matter how he thought about it, the only clause that could not be defied was the one that restricted his residence.
And, the novel didn’t describe at all how the main shou got rid of his sponsor. It seemed that not long after he met the main gong, this abnormal relationship naturally ended.
At that time, the main shou was already quite famous, but he still didn’t have the ability to pay the huge penalty for breach of contract. If it was the main gong who paid for him, it would have been impossible for the novel not to mention it.
Throwing money at a competitor’s face for the person you like, so cool.
Thinking of this, Zong Mo asked, “The contract has already expired, hasn’t it?”
This was actually the only possible answer.
Ruan Chi retorted, “What do you want?”
Seeing Ruan Chi’s reaction, Zong Mo was almost certain he had guessed correctly.
He was really free.
But his heart felt empty, especially when he met Ruan Chi’s eyes, which were bloodshot with anger.
Crimson, they looked as if he had cried, or was holding back tears, looking a little pitiful.
…What’s pitiful.
Zong Mo asked again, “Besides the tracking device in the phone, there’s nothing else, right?”
Ruan Chi did not answer.
Zong Mo continued, “I don’t want to go back now.”
He also didn’t want to argue with Ruan Chi on the side of the road, nor did he want to be tracked and controlled like a toy.
He steeled himself and simply threw his phone into the lake.
The vast lake surface trembled slightly from the small impact, a ripple spreading out, and then it returned to calm in an instant.
