After Agreeing To Marry My Arch-enemy
After Agreeing To Marry My Arch-Enemy | Chapter 09

Chapter 9 – 009

The house prepared by the Xie family was very large, and naturally, the master bedroom was also very spacious. However, no matter how big the room was, it couldn’t change the fact that besides the double bed in the center, the only other place to lie down was the floor.

There was only one set of bedding on the bed. Although the weather wasn’t too cold now and using just a coat as a cover wouldn’t leave him freezing, still…

Gu Xian threw his coat onto the bed.

Why should he sleep on the floor!

With the mindset of taking the initiative, Gu Xian threw himself onto the bed. This absurdly large room didn’t even have a single chair to sit on!

Although the Xie family was quite irritating in other aspects, their vision in choosing mattresses was not bad. The comfortable mattress made Gu Xian feel that his decision was wise. However, his mood was quickly ruined by Xie Yunjing.

“Didn’t anyone teach you that coats should be hung up?”

Gu Xian irritably tugged at his already loosened tie and suddenly remembered that, aside from the annoying question, the entire outfit he was wearing had been prepared and insisted upon by Xie Yunjing.

Being constantly managed by someone was unpleasant, especially when that person was his arch-enemy.

Gu Xian tore off the tie and provocatively threw it next to his coat, and said with a forced smile, “Indeed, no one ever taught me.”

“Now you know.”

Gu Xian clicked his tongue, stood up, ignored the coat on the bed, and walked straight into the walk-in closet.

His original clothes had somehow disappeared, likely confiscated by Uncle Kang, and he hadn’t anticipated being brought here after getting the marriage certificate. Therefore, he had no spare clothes to change into. But continuing to wear the clothes prepared by Xie Yunjing felt like having a thousand ants crawling all over him, utterly unbearable.

Thanks to the meticulousness of wealthy people, the walk-in closet didn’t have any other clothes, but at least it had two sets of pajamas.

Gu Xian randomly picked a set and returned to the bedroom with them.

“Oh, I thought Third Young Master Xie would help me hang up my coat.” He tossed the pajamas onto the bed and, ignoring Xie Yunjing’s increasingly displeased expression, he began unbuttoning the remaining buttons of his shirt right in front of him.

After Gu Xian threw his shirt down, the bed was a complete mess. But he wasn’t done yet; he placed his hands on the buckle of his belt.

“Gu Xian!” Xie Yunjing’s expression had gone beyond mere displeasure. He almost shouted in anger, “I’ve told you, I’m gay!”

Gu Xian paused, raised his eyebrow at him, and then quickly took off his suit pants, and threw them onto the bed as well.

“So what?” He was now only wearing a pair of underwear, swaggering towards Xie Yunjing.

A flicker of retreat flashed across Xie Yunjing’s face, but he refused to back down in front of Gu Xian.

Gu Xian stopped at a distance that was far from comfortable, leaning in slightly and yanking Xie Yunjing’s tie out of his neatly buttoned collar, pulled him closer: “Are you saying that just seeing my body will make our gay Third Young Master Xie aroused?”

With Gu Xian’s pull, the distance between them was excessively close.

Xie Yunjing yanked his tie back from Gu Xian’s hand and took two steps back, sneering, “I suggest you take a good look at that fleshy soft belly of yours.”

“Oh, really?” Gu Xian said, not ashamed but rather proud, “So you’re looking at it carefully, huh?”

He patted his belly like a watermelon, then squeezed it with satisfaction: “What’s wrong with soft flesh? It feels good.”

Due to spending a lot of time at home playing video games, Gu Xian hadn’t turned into a complete couch potato, but he had accumulated some fat around his abdomen. While he looked tall and lean in clothes, his slightly rounded belly became apparent when undressed.

Another trait from his homebound lifestyle was his extremely fair skin, especially on his abdomen, which was usually hidden under clothes.

His soft belly was pinched until it turned red, wobbling like jelly.

Xie Yunjing’s eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth, “Can you have some dignity?”

“Woohoo—” Gu Xian whistled, “You look like a virtuous woman being harassed.”

The “virtuous woman” retorted, “Are you proud of being an exhibitionist hooligan?”

The principal-like tone made Gu Xian annoyed: “This house is nominally mine too now. What’s wrong with being naked in my own home?”

Even though the pajamas were right there, he deliberately didn’t put them on. Instead, he sat back down on the bed, crossed his legs, and said, “Xie Yunjing, don’t you think you’re being too controlling? You manage how I dress, how I hang my clothes, whether I have dignity or not, and you even ruined my fun twice in the bar before.”

He narrowed his eyes slightly, “Could it be that you actually have feelings for me and are jealous?”

“In your dreams.”

“That’s great!” Gu Xian exaggeratedly patted his chest, and said with a smile, “If that were true, I’d have to find a bowl to puke into.”

Xie Yunjing sneered, “You really do need a bowl to empty out the water in your brain, so you can understand why using a word like ‘jealous’ between us is unrealistic. The person I like is far better than you.”

The implication was that he had feelings for Xie Yunjing. Gu Xian clicked his tongue, obviously displeased with the accusation.

“Don’t talk like you’re the only one with someone you like.”(GX)

“Getting married casually, I can’t see that you have someone you like.”(XY)

“Heh, same to you, fraudulent scumbag.”(GX)

“Not as bad as you who has someone you like but still messes around with others.”(XY)

“What I do is none of your business!”(GX)

“Then my engagement with Tao Ranan is none of your business either! Tao Ranan agreed to the engagement under our agreement, yet you keep calling it a sham marriage. What, are you really that concerned?”(XY)

“You’re full of shit!”(GX)

“……”

“……”

Both of them suddenly fell silent, and their heated argument abruptly paused.

Their quarrel sounded too much like a married couple bickering out of jealousy, and being ridiculed by his arch-enemy for someone who didn’t exist was not a smart move.

“Enough!” Gu Xian said stiffly. “Since that’s the case, why don’t we come up with an agreement?”

Xie Yunjing, with a stern face, gave a silent nod of assent: “What kind of agreement?”

“The reason we got married is because you have your purposes, and I have mine.” Gu Xian looked straightforward, and although he disliked Xie Yunjing, he had to admit that Xie Yunjing wasn’t stupid enough to not see his reasons for choosing to marry.

“But in any case, we didn’t get married to…” Gu Xian couldn’t help showing a look of disgust, “fall in love.”

Xie Yunjing naturally had no objections to this.

Gu Xian continued, “Since that’s the case, let’s make it clear now: you don’t meddle in my affairs, and I won’t meddle in yours. We’ll go our separate ways. You have no objections, right?”

Xie Yunjing snorted coldly, “I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

“Very well.” The efficiency of communicating with his arch-enemy was commendable. Gu Xian smiled and stood up, “Then I’ll trouble you to draft a written agreement.”

Xie Yunjing raised his eyebrow, “Why should I do it?”

Gu Xian smiled fakely, not sincerely, but to shift the blame, he praised: “You’re more professional.”

“And what are you going to do?”

“Me? I’ve provided the content for the agreement, so I’ve done my part.” Gu Xian picked up the long-neglected pajamas, and said with a smile, “Besides, unless you want to sign the agreement and then bathe with me, you wouldn’t mind letting me take a shower while you draft it, right?”

Gu Xian successfully made Xie Yunjing look as though he’d swallowed a fly. He walked towards the bathroom smugly, but only to be called back by Xie Yunjing again. 

“Stop.”

“Clean up your clothes.”

Gu Xian turned back impatiently, “Didn’t we agree you wouldn’t meddle in my business?”

“This is my house too now, and I won’t allow it to turn into a doghouse.”

Gu Xian sneered, “Ever heard of ‘marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog’? I just happen to like a doghouse.”

He quickly stepped into the bathroom, leaving the door ajar just enough for his head to poke through: “If Third Young Master Xie can’t stand it, then feel free to use your noble hands to tidy up the doghouse yourself.”

The bathroom door shut with a snap, leaving Xie Yunjing no place to retort with “you’re the one who got married here,” and the frustration etched on his face deepened into a tangible gloom.

Gu Xian soaked comfortably in the bath and only emerged when he felt pleasantly tired. Noticing the scattered clothes on the bed had disappeared, he immediately teased, “Oh, Third Young Master Xie, you’ve worked hard, thank you!”

Xie Yunjing was sitting on the edge of the bed, with a laptop and some papers beside him.

“If you want to thank someone, thank Uncle Kang. He put the clothes you’ll need tomorrow in the walk-in closet.” He handed a stack of papers to Gu Xian, who had settled on the other side of the bed. “Here’s the agreement. Sign it if there are no issues.”

“That’s the efficiency of Third Young Master Xie, truly profe—” The insincere flattery was cut short as Gu Xian scanned the terms on the paper. After reading a few more clauses, he snapped, “Xie Yunjing!” and threw the agreement back at him. “What kind of nonsense have you written here?”

“The content you provided was insufficient for a complete agreement. So, I made some appropriate additions.”

“Appropriate my ass!”

– Do not interfere with each other’s love life.

– Do not appear in inappropriate attire or actions in necessary situations.

– Do not throw clothes around.

– Do not be naked in front of each other, even at home.

– Do not turn shared spaces into a doghouse.

– Do not use foul language such as “f*ck,” “d*mn it,” or “none of your d*mn business.”

– …

Other than the first clause, the rest was complete and utter nonsense! Even an old lady haggling over a penny at the market would curse at this pettiness!

Gu Xian roared, “I asked you to draft an agreement to make you mind your own business, not to write a ‘Gu Xian Behavior Manual’ dictating what I can and can’t do!”

“I have the right to maintain my quality of life, and these clauses apply to me as well. It’s fair.”

“Fair, my ass!” Gu Xian lunged at Xie Yunjing, looking like he was about to strangle his new husband on the spot.

This bastard wouldn’t even do any of the things those clauses prohibit!
