18. Can We Start Over Again?

As soon as Lu Yunchu came out of the hotel room, he saw Qin Rui standing in the hall with a gloomy expression.

Lu Yunchu murmured to himself, “What a day!” But he still greeted Qin Rui with a smile, “Hi there, Mr. Qin! What a coincidence meeting you here! Are you checking in? You are more handsome than before! I believe there must be a bunch of boys waiting for chances to give you hugs and kisses.”

Qin Rui ignored Lu Yunchu and sized him up from top to bottom.

“Look at you! What are you wearing!” Qin Rui said angrily.

Lu Yunchu stretched his neck and asked in confusion, “Why? What’s wrong with my wearing now?”

“You are asking me what’s wrong with your wearing? You are dressing up like a parvenu who just won a big lottery! Can you not be so vulgar and show your taste through your outfits? At least I’ve never seen anyone who has worn two luxury watches at a time!” Qin Rui looked at Lu Yunchu with disdain.

Lu Yunchu couldn’t help but chuckle, “So what I’m wearing like this? I’m happy about it and that’s enough! A parvenu is at least better than a poor dog. Look at my outfits today! They cost me 200 million star coins! Whenever I’m walking on the road, nearly every person will turn his head to look at me. They are all envious of me.”

Qin Rui looked at Lu Yunchu and said, “Do you still have the face to say that? You don’t know people are looking at you because they are laughing at you? Don’t you feel embarrassed when people are looking at you in the streets?”

“Why should I feel embarrassed if people are looking at me? Why should I take others’ opinions so seriously? I only care if my boyfriend likes me wearing or not. As long as my dear loves me wearing like this, I will always dress myself up in a dazzling manner, and he will always be proud of me.” Lu Yunchu said sweetly.

Qin Rui frowned and said, “Lu Yunchu, you are so shameless! You keep mentioning your patron all the day. It seems as if you are afraid that others might not know you are a mistress!”

Lu Yunchu said resignedly, “You are partly right. Although I am indeed kept as a mistress, this cannot cut off the deep affection between me and my lover! He fell in love with me at his first sight and gave me a large part of his property. He is so deeply attached to me, so I naturally know that I owe him a favour. That’s the reason why I keep mentioning him in my words. Is there anything wrong with that?”

Qin Rui’s face darkened and he said, “The deep affection? Between you and him? Oh! Come on! You are spending so much of his money, but not giving him anything in return. And now you say that there’s a deep affection between you and him?”

Lu Yunchu shook his head, “Mr. Qin, you are too narrow-minded. I love not only my boyfriend’s money, but also him as a person. I admire every part of his body, from his hair to his toes. He also likes me and is willing to spend money for me. Isn’t that deep affection between me and my boyfriend?”

Qin Rui was held speechless.

Lu Yunchu looked at Qin Rui’s twisted face and couldn’t help but take two steps back. Qin Rui’s face looked so contorted, as if he wanted to shoot Lu Yunchu into pieces with a gun immediately.

“I heard that you’ve spent more than 30 billion to invest in Zeng Chongyue’s movie. What a huge sum of money!” Qin Rui’s sharp eyes shot straight into Lu Yunchu’s eyes.

“I was just making a business deal. Mr. Qin, you got the news so quickly. You’re really well-informed!” Lu Yunchu said sarcastically.

“Why are you doing this? To please Lin Zhuohan?” asked Qin Rui.

Lu Yunchu held his arms and looked at Qin Rui resignedly, “Mr. Qin, are you asking me too many questions? My business has nothing to do with you, right?”

Qin Rui looked at Lu Yunchu and said, “Lu Yunchu, do you really plan to keep someone as a mistress while you are kept as a mistress yourself?”

“This idea sounds very tempting.” Lu Yunchu breathed softly into Qin Rui’s ear.

Qin Rui’s face instantly became reddened. It was a mixture of anger and embarrassment.

“Mr. Qin, we haven’t seen each other for a few years. You have changed a lot. You’ve really become an innocent boy with pure affections!” Lu Yunchu sneered. “I know Shan Yuhao is famous for acting as pure innocent boys in TV dramas. That’s the reason why he is called ‘The Innocent Prince’. It seems that Mr. Qin has learnt from Shan Yuhao a lot!”

Qin Rui looked at Lu Yunchu for a long time and grabbed him by the shoulder. “You! Break up with your boyfriend! We… we can start over again…”

When he was saying this, Qin Rui even could not look into Lu Yunchu’s eyes. His face was redder than the sunset on a beach.

Lu Yunchu was startled for a moment. Then he quickly came to himself and said, “Mr. Qin, are you kidding me?”

“I’m not kidding. I’ll break up with Shan Yuhao and let’s start over again.” Qin Rui insisted.

Lu Yunchu burst out laughing, “Whhahahaha! Impossible! Impoooooooosiblllllllle!!!”

“You don’t care about your old affections at all…” Qin Rui said weakly.

“If, Mr. Qin, I mean, IF, you have given me a house, or a star shuttle, or a spaceship, or just mechas, I will never forget you. But since you haven’t given me anything when you were with me, I’m afraid I’ve got nothing to remind me of you.” Lu Yunchu said with a troubled expression.

Qin Rui was about to cry. Lu Yunchu said the truth. He could not refute.

Lu Yunchu looked at Qin Rui and said, “Mr. Qin, you don’t look well. Are you sick?”

Qin Rui gritted his teeth, grabbed Lu Yunchu’s arm and said, “Lu Yunchu! You like money so much! You sold yourself for money! You’re so cheap!”

Lu Yunchu looked at Qin Rui’s hand and sneered, “Mr. Qin, pestering a man you’ve loved before makes you even cheaper. It seems that I’m not the one who is doing so.”
