The Rich Old Man Quits
The Rich Old Man Quits | Chapter 1

Fu Yunshen had been drugged.

This was a typical business party. He thought such scenarios, like being drugged, only happened in the brainless idol dramas his mother watched. However, given that three days ago he was informed of the world’s truth by a “rich old man system,” he didn’t think anything could be more surreal.

Fu Yunshen slowly loosened his tie, unbuttoned two shirt buttons to air out the alcohol, and was about to get up for a cold shower when a cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind, just like three days ago:

【Friendly reminder: The person coming in shortly will be pregnant with your child tonight.】

When the system bound to him, it had already briefed him on the situation—due to a malfunction of the main system, six world plots merged, so as compensation, the system was here to inform him of the plots in these six worlds.

But Fu Yunshen never expected the system to start off with such high drama.

Fu Yunshen’s gaze sharpened as he told the system: 【Sorry, you should know I’m gay. I can’t let an innocent girl get pregnant with my child. Let’s end this here.】

【Although the protagonists of the six worlds are all aimed at me, I believe I can handle it.】

The system responded: 【Host, you are still too young… Why not take a look first?】

【Data loading, please wait…】

Title: “Pregnant with the Rich Old Man’s Child”

Synopsis: He is the enigmatic Mr. Fu, known in the industry as Fu Wuye. Rumor has it that he is cold, abstinent, ruthless, and unapproachable. One day, however, he corners an insignificant little star in the dressing room, presses her against the wall, and kisses her deeply, whispering, “Little thing, pregnant with my child, and still trying to run?”

……

Fu Yunshen had barely read two lines before he awkwardly stopped. This synopsis was truly difficult to digest.

The descriptions of being cold, abstinent, ruthless, and unapproachable—these strange adjectives used for him made even Fu Yunshen, who was unflappable in any business negotiation, show an indescribable expression.

Fu Yunshen cleared his throat and forced himself to speak in a calm tone: 【Do you think… these are adjectives for a normal person?】

Moreover, he couldn’t quite picture himself pressing a female celebrity against the wall and kissing her.

Struggling with his discomfort, Fu Yunshen pondered: 【This female celebrity…】

The system responded: 【Host, are you sure it’s a female celebrity?】

As soon as the system’s voice fell, the suite door opened, and a handsome boy stumbled in.

Fu Yunshen felt his worldview was shattered: 【You’re telling me, how can a man get pregnant?】

【That’s not important. What matters is the sweet, sweet plot~】

【Sweet?】 Fu Yunshen scoffed, 【If I were like your synopsis describes, I might end up sending him for research.】

Fu Yunshen reviewed the information that came with the boy’s appearance: 【Name: Lu Ning】

【Current Plot: Lu Ning has been drugged by his manager and is intended to be delivered to an investor’s bed. However, the hotel mistakenly assigned him to the wrong room. Fu Wuye accidentally drank the spiked hangover remedy meant for the wrong room and now faces Lu Ning, who clings to him in a dazed and soft state.】

With so many issues, Fu Yunshen didn’t know where to start. He remarked with a sigh: 【It’s a five-star hotel; such mistakes should lead to its closure.】

【As expected of Fu Wuye, you have the spirit of a domineering CEO.】

【I refuse that title; please call me by my name.】

Fu Yunshen looked at Lu Ning. The boy’s lips were red, his teeth white, his cheeks flushed, his lashes curled, and his eyes misty. Clearly, he was also drugged, perhaps even more severely than Fu Yunshen himself.

The boy mumbled to himself, “Hmm… so hot… Why did Brother Zhang book me such a nice room today?”

Fu Yunshen furrowed his brows: 【Is this kid an adult?】 At this moment, he thought the description “soft and delicate” was quite fitting—he really did resemble a “delicate flower.”

【Eighteen years old, of course he’s an adult. An 18-year-old and a 28-year-old, that’s the perfect match for a rich old man story~】

Fu Yunshen couldn’t understand how he became an “old man” at 28, but that was no longer important. What was terrifying was—this 18-year-old boy, who was still a boy, was supposed to be pregnant with his child according to the plot.

“So hot… so uncomfortable…” Lu Ning was completely dazed and only now noticed that there was someone else in the suite. His misty eyes looked at Fu Yunshen with confusion, and he asked blankly, “Hmm? Why is there someone else here?”

Lu Ning’s manager had mentioned that the investor was interested in him, but Lu Ning had rejected it outright. He had been tricked into coming to this party by his manager. If the hotel hadn’t mixed up the rooms, he would have been in a much worse situation.

The boy gazed at Fu Yunshen with a dazed expression and said, “You’re really handsome… Am I dreaming…”

“It’s so hot… I want to…” Lu Ning tugged at his shirt, trying to cool himself down, but he couldn’t quite articulate what he wanted. “Want, want…” The boy’s ears turned red as he felt the changes in his body.

Fu Yunshen’s hair stood on end: 【I’m not interested in such a young boy. He’s only eighteen, and in your plot, he’s supposed to have a child for me? Men giving birth—what’s your scientific basis for that?】

The system responded: 【That’s not important. We’re focusing on the emotional storyline. The plot is designed this way, and in the end, the protagonist will achieve both emotional and career success. Isn’t that reaching the pinnacle of life?】

With too many issues to address, Fu Yunshen felt the need to correct the system’s worldview eventually, but resolving the current problem was more pressing: 【Your role is just to inform me of the plot, right? You don’t have any requirements for what I should do, do you?】

【There are no requirements.】 The system, not quite understanding what this human was thinking, added, 【But host, shouldn’t a rich old man like you prefer this delicate little bunny? Aren’t you supposed to be the kind of person who would overpower and take advantage of them? You’re Fu Wuye, known for your ruthlessness!】

【I…】 Fu Yunshen felt like he was dealing with a piece of artificial stupidity residing in his head, 【What has a rich old man done wrong?】

【Oh, what have I done wrong at my young age?】 He almost got sidetracked by this clueless system.

In a daze, the disoriented little bunny lunged at him. Fu Yunshen quickly grabbed the boy by the collar. Lu Ning flailed around, looking like a rabbit trying to kick its way free.

What happens when two drugged gay men are locked in a room together? Of course, the answer is—

No…

Of course, it means tossing him out and closing the door.

【No! Host! You can’t do that!】

【Look at him—how pitiful! Can you really bear to do this?】

【Host, think from another angle. He’s so fair and tender, so sweet and crisp! He must be delicious!】

Fu Yunshen opened the door and said, 【Isn’t it the normal way to handle things to let someone who walked into the wrong room out?】

As Fu Yunshen dragged Lu Ning out the door, the system suddenly said: 【Alright, plot reversal value 5%.】

New information appeared, and Fu Yunshen asked: 【What is this plot reversal value?】

【As the name suggests, it’s the probability that the original plot will no longer occur.】 The system lamented, 【As a rich old man system, I naturally have a deep fondness for the original plot and hoped to see some sweet and pampered moments. However, there’s nothing I can do if you insist on this.】

Fu Yunshen frowned slightly: 【I haven’t even… According to logic, shouldn’t this story end as soon as it starts? Why is the reversal value only 5%?】

【Well, you might not have noticed it now, but after today, it’s still possible that someone might end up putting Lu Ning into your bed? Maybe you’ll fall in love with him by chance? Or the hotel might make another mistake with the room? Even if the beginning is different, the outcome might be quite similar, don’t you think?】

【……】 This world sounded absurd.

Fu Yunshen certainly wanted everything to be under his control. The presence of a system in his head that he couldn’t get rid of had already touched his bottom line. He was determined not to let an eighteen-year-old boy potentially end up pregnant with his child. He asked: 【So how can I make the reversal value reach 100%?】

The system responded: 【Well… I don’t really know. I’m just a rich old man system, temporarily assigned due to a glitch in the main system. In any case, you’ll probably need to make the plot develop in a very unexpected way.】

【OK, I understand.】 Fu Yunshen decided not to rely on this unreliable system anymore and resolved to handle the situation himself.

On the other side, the investor waited impatiently in his room and eventually called the manager to inquire about the missing person. Only then did the manager realize they had sent the person to the wrong room.

Having already inquired about who was staying in the adjacent suite, they dared not knock on the door, so the manager had no choice but to loiter outside.

When Fu Yunshen opened the door, the manager saw his cold and stern face. He was holding Lu Ning and seemed to be deep in thought.

Under Fu Yunshen’s formidable aura, the manager steeled himself and approached: “Mr. Fu, I’m sorry. Our artist walked into the wrong room. We’ll take him back immediately…”

The system chimed in immediately: 【Look, Mr. Fu, if you throw him out, his manager will definitely take him straight to that fat investor’s bed. Lu Ning might end up pregnant by that investor, which would be even worse…】

Fu Yunshen replied: 【What’s the difference between that and sending him to my bed?】

The system said: 【It’s different. Mr. Fu, you’re rich, handsome, and responsible.】

Fu Yunshen was left speechless.

However, as a person with a proper sense of ethics, he couldn’t just stand by while an unconscious eighteen-year-old was drugged and coerced.

Fu Yunshen told the manager, “Your artist will be doing his homework here.”

The system announced: 【Plot reversal value 10%.】

Fu Yunshen: 【?】 Is that even possible?

【Mr. Fu, are you serious about having him do homework?】

Fu Yunshen didn’t respond.

The manager, upon hearing this, immediately understood. Oh, so you’re going to have him do homework on himself?

He realized that sending Lu Ning to the wrong room might have inadvertently given him a lucky break to rise to higher heights. With a forced smile, he said, “Mr. Fu, we’ll leave Lu Ning in your ‘care’ then…”

Fu Yunshen ignored the manager’s insinuations, raising an eyebrow slightly: “Very well.” He then dragged Lu Ning back into the room and closed the door.

Fu Yunshen tossed the struggling young man into a bathtub full of cold water. After alleviating his own discomfort and putting aside the absurdity of the plot, he took a closer look at Lu Ning’s information.

He discovered that, aside from his good looks, Lu Ning truly deserved to be the protagonist. Not only was he attractive, but he was also highly disciplined. Entering the entertainment industry at sixteen, he managed to balance acting and training while maintaining excellent academic performance. His dedication was evident from his daily routine of memorizing twenty new words every morning and sticking to a fitness regimen to maintain his physique.

Balancing academics and acting is difficult for most people, but Lu Ning didn’t neglect his studies after passing the art exams, nor did he treat his performances carelessly to maintain his grades. He achieved an almost perfect balance. Given the opportunity, he could certainly rely on his own efforts to achieve significant success.

Unfortunately, Lu Ning’s situation was grim. His father was a gambler, his mother was weak, and he had a younger brother to support, forcing him into the entertainment industry at a young age to earn money. His naivety led him to sign with a unscrupulous small company that constantly exploited him, and he remained grateful despite the exploitation.

He was just an eighteen-year-old with a struggling family, and with the college entrance exams just a few months away, if he became pregnant tonight, his future would only become more difficult.

【Mr. Fu, see how pitiful he is? He’s waiting for you to rescue him from this dire situation.】

Fu Yunshen thought to himself—tsk, a high school senior, this plot is truly inhumane.

A high school student… With that thought, Fu Yunshen sent a message to his assistant.

So, when Lu Ning finally regained consciousness after half an hour in the bathtub, he had no idea what awaited him.
