Possessive Madman Coaxes Him With a Hand on His Waist! The Cold-Hearted Host Starts to Feel Something - Chapter 33

“That’s the show you auditioned for, isn’t it?”

Yan Jin asked directly.

At that moment, Li Cheng was still complaining to A-Keng and didn’t even hear him. A-Keng, what do I do now?

【Wuwuwu… Fox Host, Li Shen has a sponsor.】

Li Cheng: Having a sponsor makes him that great?

【Without that investor, the drama can’t even start filming. The investor said if Li Shen isn’t cast as the male lead, they’ll pull their funding.】

【Right now, the director’s already in conflict with the production team.】

【The director wants you and Yang Ming.】

【But the producers are insisting on Li Shen and Yang Ming.】

Li Cheng licked his lips. So you’re saying… mission failed?

【Maybe… there’s still a way.】

Li Cheng: What way?

【Have Qianyue Entertainment invest in this project.】

Li Cheng’s expression grew increasingly impatient. What’s that supposed to mean?

【It means—you can sell your charm and find your own sponsor. Qianyue Entertainment is under Tianye Group. That’s your husband’s company.】

【Fox Host, just bat your lashes and ask your husband for help!】

Li Cheng glanced at Yan Jin, his fingers curling into a fist with a loud crack. You sure have some guts giving me advice, huh?

【I try.】

【Just act cute with him—it’ll work for sure!】

Li Cheng’s eyes rolled halfway. Act cute?

With these fists that could knock a person out with one punch? Act cute?

【Just say… “Honey… I really want that role…”】

“Ugh—”

Li Cheng gagged the moment A-Keng said that.

Seeing that, Yan Jin immediately stepped closer, concern flashing in his eyes. He gently patted Li Cheng’s back. “What’s wrong?”

Li Cheng took a moment to steady himself, then looked up at Yan Jin, his tone quiet and restrained.

“Yan Jin, I… want to ask you something.”

Yan Jin bent slightly, one arm looping behind Li Cheng’s knees and the other around his waist, easily lifting him up again.

Li Cheng didn’t resist and simply let him carry him out.

Yan Jin placed him down on the sofa, poured a glass of warm water, tested the temperature with a sip, then handed it over.

“Here, drink some water.”

After a pause, he returned to the question. “What did you want to ask?”

Li Cheng took a sip, holding the cup carefully in both hands, looking almost obedient.

“What… are we now?” His voice stuttered, unsure and hesitant.

They’d kissed, hugged, even slept together.

They liked each other—liked each other, right?

Then what were they?

Yan Jin crouched slightly, gently running his hand through Li Cheng’s hair.

He suddenly realized—he’d forgotten something.

“I’m sorry.” Yan Jin’s voice was like a warm blanket, soft enough to make someone fall asleep.

Li Cheng blinked at him, not understanding why he was apologizing.

Yan Jin smiled softly, continuing in that calm tone.

“I’ve never dated anyone before, so I’m probably terrible at this. I even forgot to confess to you.”

He took Li Cheng’s hand and rubbed his thumb across the smooth skin of his finger. “I like you.”

“I really like you—so much that I sometimes think I’m a little sick.”

The deep ocean of Yan Jin’s eyes rippled with something bright, like starlight scattered across a lake. Joy, hope, promise—it was all there.

“I’m not good with words. But I’ll buy you flowers, cook for you, watch the stars and the moon with you. I’ll take you wherever you want to go. I won’t lie to you, won’t disappoint you, and I’ll cherish you always.”

His hand brushed over Li Cheng’s face, every word of his confession serious and unshakable.

“Let’s be together, okay?”

“Let me be your boyfriend.”

“Stay with me.”

“Please?”

Every word was steady, magnetic, and laced with a quiet sensuality that made even ordinary phrases sound beautiful.

Li Cheng’s gaze trembled. His eyes blinked rapidly—

Thump.

His heart skipped.

【Say yes! Say yes, Fox Host! Wuwuwu I’ll say yes for you!】

Li Cheng looked at him, frozen for a moment.

“You don’t mind that I’m…” not human?

Yan Jin’s eyes dimmed with an unhidden sadness. “What I mind… is that I can’t stay with my Little Fox for a thousand years.”

He paused, forcing a small, tender smile. “But I’m selfish. So, if there’s a next life, Little Fox, please don’t look for anyone else. Wait for me, okay?”

“Promise me?” His eyes were filled with sincerity unlike anything before.

Li Cheng’s gaze lingered on the sealing spell around Yan Jin’s neck—it glowed faintly, beautiful like a red spider lily blooming at the edge of the underworld.

So this is what an eternal bond looks like.

He wrapped his arms around Yan Jin’s neck, leaning his head against the curve of his shoulder and nuzzling lightly.

After holding him for a moment, he whispered softly,

“Okay.”

Yan Jin froze in delight, his heart spinning with joy.

He hugged Li Cheng even tighter, as if trying to fuse him into his very soul—his entire being filled with boundless happiness.

He didn’t want to let go.

After a long while, something seemed to cross his mind.

He looked down at Li Cheng seriously. “Why did you block me?”

Li Cheng met his eyes directly, those amber, seductive irises flashing with danger and charm.

“You really don’t want to know.”

Yan Jin pulled out his phone. “Add me back.”

Li Cheng turned his head stubbornly. “No.”

“Add me back, and your husband will fund your role.”

Li Cheng: ???

Husband?

Fund my role?

Those were two very different topics!

【Aaaah stop overthinking, Host! He is your husband! Add him! Let him invest!】

【If you miss this chance, there won’t be another! Kiss him! Say: Thank you, honey!】

Li Cheng: You’re so good at this, why don’t you do it yourself?

【…………】

Li Cheng looked at Yan Jin. “If I add you back, you’ll really fund my role?”

Yan Jin’s brows knit slightly. His wounds were healed now, but actors had to live on set while filming—he’d barely get to see him for weeks, maybe months.

It didn’t sit right with him.

He reached out and pinched Li Cheng’s cheek. “You really like this role that much?”

Li Cheng nodded immediately. “Yeah.”

“Then call me ‘honey.’” Yan Jin’s lips curved upward, his gaze lowering slightly, a mix of mischief and grace glinting in his eyes.

Li Cheng: …

He’s really impossible.

【Call him, Fox Host! Call him!】

【Once you land this role, Director Liu will cast you in Hunter Rose! That’s a guaranteed Best Actor nomination—probability 97.65%!】

Li Cheng’s lips parted. He licked them nervously, his voice sulky. “I don’t want to.”

Yan Jin let out a regretful tsk, then smoothly changed the subject. “Let’s eat.”

Li Cheng: ???

That’s it?

When Yan Jin stood up, Li Cheng quickly caught his hand, lowering his tone, trying something that sounded a little like humility.

“I… I really like that role…”

Hearing that kind of tone from Li Cheng was a once-in-a-century miracle.

Even he felt awkward saying it.

“I know,” Yan Jin nodded calmly. “You said that already.”

“…And then?” Li Cheng pressed his lips together, voice small.

“What then?” Yan Jin turned back, feigning innocence.

Li Cheng felt like he’d never outfox this man.

Maybe… he should just give in.

Seeing Yan Jin continue walking away, Li Cheng bit his lip hard—

Finally, with great determination, he blurted out,

“…H-honey…”

The moment he said it, his face turned bright red, wishing he could dig a hole and disappear.

That single word hit Yan Jin straight in the chest. His lips curved involuntarily.

He turned his head slightly to compose himself, then walked back toward Li Cheng in two strides.

His gaze softened, voice low and tender like a spring breeze.

“Good boy.”
