Mat...
Chapter 67 It’s more tiring than having sex with her normally.
Zhou Jinbai was really bold. Su Li was so scared that she didn't dare to make a sound. The voices of her parents talking in the living room were particularly clear. She covered her lips with one hand, fearing that any strange noise would come out of her mouth.
Because of Zhou Jinbai's behavior, she had contractions one after another, which was more tiring than normal sex with him. Su Li knew that he had been enduring a lot of hardship these days, but wouldn't this be a bit bad for her?
Finally, when he had eaten enough, Su Li seemed to have lost all her strength. She slowly lay down, biting her lips and exhaling slowly. Outside, she heard the sound of her parents closing the door after leaving.
Zhou Jinbai came over to hug her again, but Su Li reached out and pushed his face, "Get out."
Zhou Jinbai's voice was gentle and soft, tinged with a smile. "You're so tired? I was planning to stay in your new house with you last night, but your dad insisted I drink. Anyway, spending a night in your boudoir is pleasant. My lychee grew up here."
Su Li's heart moved. "Is it because I grew up here that you want to do whatever you want to me in my room?"
Zhou Jinbai admitted, "I am a bit perverted. It's just as you thought. I have some uncontrollable thoughts. I think you got pregnant last time here, right?"
Su Li snorted, turned her head away from him, and pulled the quilt over herself. "You really look like a serious person, Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Jinbai hugged her, his cheek pressed against the slightly warm skin of her neck. "Lizhi, remember this: no man is serious."
Su Li had known for a long time that Zhou Jinbai was polite and gentlemanly in the eyes of outsiders, even indifferent, but after being with her, this man became different. Unlike his cold appearance, he was the same as most men, greedy for that little bit of pleasure.
Su Li wanted to sleep for a while and asked him when he would go to work. Zhou Jinbai was not in a hurry. "There is nothing to do in the company. The president can handle it. I will accompany you to sleep for a while."
Su Li asked him, "Who is the company president to you?"
Zhou Jinbai closed his eyes and answered, "Confidant, otherwise how could I give him such an important position? Originally, this position was reserved for Zhou Zexi, but he didn't understand my intentions and liked to seek death, so I just left him alone."
Speaking of Zhou Zexi, Su Li hadn't heard from him in a long time. "I don't know what that good-for-nothing is doing now. I haven't seen any news about him in a long time. He's often been on the hot search list by his fans, but he hasn't been on it recently."
Zhou Jinbai hummed, "They're probably busy looking for his biological parents, trying to figure out which billionaire's prince was left behind among the common people."
Su Li chuckled, "He thinks he's acting. How could a billionaire lose his child? Even if there was one, it wouldn't be his turn. But Uncle Zhou, do you know who his biological parents are?"
Zhou Jinbai answered honestly, "I don't know. I haven't seen him, nor have I looked for him. It depends on his ability. If he can find him, let him recognize him. I don't care. I just need to raise him."
Su Li felt that Zhou Jinbai had a hard time. "After all these years of hard work, I only raised an ungrateful person."
Zhou Jinbai smiled and said, "It's not useless. At least he brought you back to me and found me a wife."
Su Li, “…”
Zhou Jinbai's slightly warm lips touched the fair skin of her neck, and his voice was deep, "Thank him for bringing me such a fragrant and lovely wife. I got the upper hand."
Su Li told him to stop talking nonsense. "You married your wife based on your own ability. What does it have to do with him? Don't praise him so highly. If he still wants to come back and recognize you, will you agree?"
Zhou Jinbai thought for a moment and replied, "If he sincerely wants to continue recognizing me and calling you mom, I can consider it."
Su Li laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, then he might as well be dead. The damn scumbag thought he was pissing me off, but in the end he even lost his dad."
Zhou Jinbai held her in his arms, "Yeah, it's easy to mess with us Litchi. We are so tempting and delicious. Which man wouldn't fall for us?"
Su Li exhaled slowly and grasped his restless hand, "Alright Uncle Zhou, stop seducing me. It's dangerous."
Zhou Jinbai nodded and stopped bothering her. He lay with her for a while. When he heard his grandparents get up, Su Li fell into a deep sleep again.
She has been really sleepy lately, so Zhou Jinbai got up, washed up, and went to the kitchen to see what ingredients were available.
When Yu Luo left, he had already prepared the ingredients for breakfast, probably wanting to wait for Su Li to get up and make it herself.
Zhou Jinbai had to roll up his sleeves and make breakfast for his wife.
Grandpa started looking for something to have morning tea. He saw Zhou Jinbai in the kitchen and walked over to take a look. He still sighed, "Men in the city are omnipotent and can do everything."
Zhou Jinbai simply asked, "What do you want to eat? How about low-fat bread?"
Grandpa said, "It's not as good as steamed buns. I can't eat these things."
Zhou Jin understood, "Then wait until I make breakfast for Lizhi, and then I'll go out and buy it for you."
Grandpa responded, "Okay, thank you, grandson-in-law."
Zhou Jinbai replied, "You're welcome. It's my pleasure."
Zhou Jinbai prepared breakfast and asked Su Li to get up and eat. Su Li responded but did not get up. Zhou Jinbai pushed the door open, picked her up, and forced her to turn on the phone.
"You have to eat breakfast on time, Lychee. After eating, you can stay at home or come home with me."
Su Li must go home with him and get up quickly.
Seeing that she had woken up, Zhou Jinbai went out to buy breakfast for her grandparents.
Grandma sighed, "Xiao Zhou is so busy so early in the morning. Your parents didn't even make breakfast before leaving."
Su Li was sitting in the restaurant eating. "Be busy, be busy. It's better for him to treat this place as his own home."
Only when you treat it as your own home can you feel like a family.
Su Li felt much better. She and Zhou Jinbai got their marriage certificate and became a legal couple.
She wanted to show off her marriage certificate, and finally couldn't help asking Zhang Qingchi: "I want to make my marital status public, Old Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang Qingchi quickly replied: [What can I think? Teacher Lin Youqin unfollowed you. I was so worried these past two days, afraid you'd become a trending topic. Fortunately, it was alright.]
Su Li thought it was normal for Lin Youqin to unfollow her: [I married the person she liked, so it's normal for her to unfollow me. It's not a big deal. She wouldn't do anything to harm Uncle Zhou, right?]
Zhang Qingchi didn't know either: "Who knows? I'll just watch it while I'm walking. But you have a drama coming out this year. What if the official announcement affects the promotion?"
Su Li felt a little confused: "I'm getting married, I'm not a fanboy. I rely on my own abilities, okay? As a person, getting married and having children is a normal thing. You can't deny my achievements just because I'm married? That's too harsh."
Zhang Qingchi: [That's true, but I'm just worried about something unexpected happening. If nothing else, why don't you wait until the show is finished airing before making an official announcement? It'll only be a few months away. Oh, and by the way, there's a film festival coming up in the next two weeks. We've applied for several awards for "The Qin Family's Daughter" and might be nominated. You should go.]
Su Li hesitated a bit: "I'm pregnant, Old Zhang. Won't it be discovered if I attend this kind of event? If people find out and dig up who my husband is, it'll still cause problems. So why not take this opportunity to officially announce it? That way, even if I'm pregnant, there won't be as much criticism."
Zhang Qingchi still admired her: "You are really brave. If you announce it at this critical moment, all resources and investment will be discounted."
Su Li was fearless: "It doesn't matter. My husband is already so rich, what should I be afraid of? I'm still involved in this circle because I give it face. If I didn't love this career, wouldn't I just stay put? Why should I put myself in such a difficult position?"
Zhang Qingchi: [……]
Su Li: [Every time a female artist is revealed to be pregnant or having a child, they have to go through a lot of public pressure. I don't want to be criticized when I'm successful in my career. My husband Zhou is not bad, so why can't I make it official?]
Zhang Qingchi: [You win. Edit the copy and send it to me. However, the man's identity cannot be revealed. Just take a photo of the marriage certificate and I'll have the studio's PR team send it to you.]
Su Li thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Su Li spent half an hour thinking about the official announcement copy, which she felt was quite literary, so she sent it to Zhang Qingchi, but Zhang Qingchi did not reply.
After waiting for about half an hour, Zhang Qingchi replied: [I've posted it. Go check it out. But I don't think your marriage will make it into the top three trending searches unless someone helps fuel the fire. It'll probably be in the top ten or so.]
Su Li couldn't wait to log in to the second account and take a look, wanting to know how Zhang Qingchi would change her copy.
When I clicked on it, I saw the concise and clear copy: Marriage [love].
It was accompanied by a photo of her marriage certificate.
Su Li, “…”
No, she wrote hundreds of words with great effort and then simplified it into two words?
Su Li sent the screenshot to Zhang Qingchi dissatisfiedly: [What is this you sent? ]
Zhang Qingchi confidently stated: [Official Weibo announcements should be concise and to the point. Your post is too cumbersome and can easily be misinterpreted.]
Su Li: [……]
Anyway, no matter what, she finally fulfilled her wish of making an official announcement. Creating a persona in the entertainment industry is a technical job and it's too tiring, so it's better to be yourself.
Su Li has seen many cases where the character creation ended up being a failure and they were scolded to pieces. It was really tragic.
She might as well do whatever she wants while she is still not that famous. It would be much easier than creating a persona.
After reading the official announcement on Weibo, Su Li withdrew. She didn't like reading those comments. A hundred warm comments were not as powerful as one negative comment.
She just wanted to tell everyone that she was married. As for who was secretly cursing her on the Internet, she didn't want to know.
Originally, it was thought that her official announcement of marriage would not cause any uproar, but something went wrong, and it attracted a wave of questions from CP fans.
Everyone was asking her who she married and who her partner was, especially her fans who supported her and Chen Yusheng, who all asked her if she was married to Chen Yusheng.
Asked if Chen Yusheng retired from the entertainment industry to marry her?
Zhang Qingchi thought that her marriage was a trivial matter and would not be ranked among the top three hot searches, but it would be troublesome if Chen Yusheng was involved.
Soon, two of the top five hot searches contained the tags Chen Yusheng and Su Li.
#Su Li Chen Yu Sheng#
#Su Li and Chen Yusheng get married#
It was all thanks to the CP fans. Su Li didn't expect that the situation would turn around like this.
Chen Yusheng's retirement was already a regret for his fans, and suddenly the topic of Su Li's marriage brought it to the hot search list, and it was quickly flooded with fans of the only star.
[Have some shame! When you weren't famous, you were always using Brother Chen for marketing and hype. Now that our Brother Chen has retired, you're still sucking her blood. How shameless is this Su Li? [Smile]]
I've never seen such a disgusting woman. It's fine if she did it once or twice, but she even didn't let him go after he retired from the entertainment industry. If she wants to get married, then she can get married. Why bring Brother Chen along?
Those CP fans are hilarious. Brother Chen, a third-generation rich man, is actually interested in an actor? Don't dream. This kind of family has a very strict political review process. Someone like that wouldn't be able to get in.
[I will take out a loan to sue these lunatics. They are as disgusting as stink bugs. Be careful, your sister will be thrown away like garbage in the future.]
Seeing the situation getting out of control, Zhang Qingchi was so angry that he smashed things in the company office, cursing as he did so. "I knew something was going to happen. Damn, five of the top ten trending searches are on the hot search list. How can I withdraw? Where's the money coming from?"
She was still cursing a few minutes ago, but less than ten minutes later, the public relations team refreshed the hot search rankings and found that all the topics about Su Li had been removed.
Including the topic of her official marriage announcement, no other topic could come up. After a while, there were no hot searches on Weibo.
Su Li hadn't originally planned to check Weibo, but after seeing the trending search, Li Zhuzhu sent a message: "Aunt, did you marry Uncle Zhou? I saw your official Weibo announcement."
Su Li replied: [We got the marriage certificate, so we are married.]
Li Zhuzhu replied: [Congratulations, don't take the insults to heart, just keep a positive attitude.]
Su Li couldn't help but click on Weibo to take a look. As a result, she saw that she and Chen Yusheng were posted there, and the fans were cursing them harshly.
After reading a few messages, Su Li exited the video. She felt uneasy and her hands and feet became uncontrollably cold.
She sent another message to Zhang Qingchi: [Let me clarify, the person I married was not Chen Yusheng, and I didn't ride on his popularity. There's no need.]
Zhang Qingchi was in a state of panic and ignored her message.
To be honest, being cyberbullied is a normal thing in this circle. Although Su Li has experienced it several times, she still feels uncomfortable when being scolded again.
This world is so malicious, especially towards women.
Those people's insults were as harsh as they could be.
She felt a little cold all over, so she went back to her room and lay on the bed, not knowing how to adjust her mentality.
Jiang Wen saw that she was in a bad mood and wanted to ask something, but he didn't.
Su Li closed the door after she returned, and Jiang Wen didn't knock on the door.
After a while, Zhou Jinbai came back.
As soon as he entered the room, he asked, "Where's the wife?"
Jiang Wen pointed in the direction of the bedroom and said, "Go back to your room. You look unhappy."
Zhou Jinbai walked straight towards the bedroom, and he knew she was in a bad mood.
Zhou Jinbai didn't even knock on the door, he just pushed it open and walked in. Su Li was lying on the bed with her back to him.
Hearing someone open the door and come in, Su Li didn't turn around, but just asked, "Who? Butler Jiang?"
Zhou Jinbai walked to the bed and sat down. "It's me. Jiang Wen is not so bold as to enter my room."
After hearing his voice, Su Li fell silent and still did not turn around.
Zhou Jinbai sighed, "You were too impulsive. You should slow down a bit. Wait a month or two, and your popularity will die down. Then you won't be scolded for posting something like this again."
Su Li was really furious. "Did you come back to blame me? If so, then there's no need for you. I know I was impulsive, but who was I impulsive for? You didn't even offer a word of comfort, and you blamed me as soon as you came back. Do you think I want that?"
Zhou Jinbai knew she was angry when he heard her tone, "You're really angry."
She was already upset after being scolded, and Zhou Jinbai came back to cause trouble at this time. Su Li didn't want to argue with him, "Go away, I don't want to see you now, I want to be alone."
How could Zhou Jinbai leave her alone to sulk? "I know it's all because of me that you've been wronged. I'm back now, aren't I? I'm just worried you'll get stuck on this. Let them scold us, and we'll live our lives. Anyway, it has nothing to do with them. Don't take their words too seriously."
Su Li's eyes were red, and she reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "It wasn't you who was scolded, so of course you don't feel bad. As expected, you will regret it after getting married. The good times are really over."
Zhou Jinbai slowly exhaled and turned sideways to hug her, but she broke free.
He moved back a little, and Su Li moved back a little, just to prevent him from touching her.
Zhou Jinbai was helpless. "It's my fault that my wife has been wronged. Can you please stop being angry?"
Su Li's voice trembled. "Why should I be angry? I'm not angry at all. I shouldn't have let anyone know I'm married. Is this world so harsh on women? Why are men always blessed when they get married, but women always cursed when they get married?"
Seeing her moving further and further back, Zhou Jinbai simply took off his leather shoes, got on the bed, and picked her up. "You can't be angry. If you feel uncomfortable, come and hit me."
Zhou Jinbai stretched out his face to her, "I remember you hit me once, and that hand was really strong. Today, because of me, you were wronged and scolded. I am really a troublemaker, and you still hit me. Come on."
The more Su Li thought about it, the angrier she became. She refused to let him touch her and said, "Go away. I find you annoying now."
Zhou Jinbai refused to leave. "When you miss me, you want to stick to me. When you are annoyed with me, you want me to be a million miles away from you. A woman's heart is really hard to guess."
Su Li said, "I didn't ask you to come back. If you want to come back, it's none of my business."
Zhou Jinbai lifted her up with all his strength and held her in his arms. "I know you're upset, that's why you came back. You did the right thing, but your path is different from that of ordinary people, so you have to consider everything carefully. I'm happy that you can disclose your marital status. It shows that you care about me, and I'm happier than anyone else. But if you do this, you have to endure unwarranted abuse. If I don't feel sorry for my own wife, who will?"
Su Li sniffed, tears still welling up in the corners of her eyes, "Then why did you blame me as soon as you came back? I owe you."
Zhou Jinbai hugged her and admitted his mistake. "I was wrong. My tone and attitude were both problematic. My wife criticized me. I will correct it in the future. After all, I am more anxious than you. You should have discussed it with me. I just found it by accident. If I hadn't found it today, how uncomfortable would it have been for you to endure this pain at home alone?"
Su Li didn't say anything. She was wronged today because of Zhou Jinbai.
Zhou Jinbai sat up against the headboard and hugged her. "I'm so happy and sad at the same time. You hold my heart in your hands. If you're happy, I'm fine. But if you're sad, it's even harder for me than it is for you. You can't suffer because of me, understand?"
Su Li sniffed, "I just want everyone to know my marital status. No one knows that man is you, so you can keep it to yourself."
Zhou Jinbai retorted, "How can I remain indifferent? You're married to me, so we're one. We share prosperity and adversity. Sooner or later, someone will find out that your husband is me. It's just a matter of time."
Su Li didn't say anything. Zhou Jinbai patted her on the back and soothed her, "Okay, don't feel wronged. What do those people know? They're happy just seeing someone ruined by these comments. The more times like this, the more you should not care. If you're strong inside, no one can hurt you. That Chen Yusheng really makes things difficult for you. Even after he quits the entertainment industry, he can still cause another uproar."
Su Li still didn't say anything, and her mood eased a little.
Zhou Jinbai sighed, "There's still a long way to go. There might be something more serious in the future. This is just a small matter."
Su Li pushed him away and said, "Okay, I'm fine. You can go back to work."
Zhou Jinbai said, "Why bother going to work? I'm not in the mood to go to work."
Su Li, “…”
Seeing that she was still in a bad mood, Zhou Jinbai thought for a moment and suggested, "How about I take you out for a few days? How about we go on a honeymoon?"
Su Li then looked up at him, "You're not working anymore?"
Zhou Jinbai took her hand and said, "Work is not as important as you. If I'm busy every day, leaving you alone at home could easily lead to problems. You don't have many friends, so I'll try to make more time to spend with you."
Hearing this, Su Li felt better. "I'm really afraid that you'll change once you marry me. Many emotions are ruined in marriage. I'm afraid that day will come for you and me."
Zhou Jinbai asked, "Do you distrust marriage so much? Or do you distrust me?"
Su Li lowered her head, not knowing how to answer him.
Anyway, she has been panicking ever since she and Zhou Jin got their marriage certificate.
I'm really afraid that the feelings they had before are gone and Zhou Jinbai won't value her anymore.
She didn't want to make trouble unreasonably. She could make trouble before marriage, but she didn't dare to make trouble after marriage.
I don't know what's going on.
Zhou Jinbai was very busy, going out early and coming back late every day. She stayed alone in the huge Zhou family home and had no one to talk to.
Not hearing her answer, Zhou Jinbai grabbed her hand and squeezed it.
"You decide where you want to go, and we can leave anytime."
Su Li still didn't say anything.
Zhou Jinbai was silent for a moment, then went to hug her again.
"Lizhi, speak up. Don't be silent all the time. You make me feel uneasy."
Su Li didn't know what to say. Zhou Jinbai did all the talking and she couldn't even say a word.
After a moment's silence, she still rejected Zhou Jinbai's proposal.
"No, I have a film festival to attend soon. Let's talk about it later."
Zhou Jinbai reached out and gently pinched her chin, asking her to look up.
"Look at me, do you regret marrying me?"
Su Li looked into his eyes for a long time without saying a word.
She didn’t know whether she regretted it or not, but at least she didn’t regret it when she asked Zhang Qingchi to post the official announcement on Weibo.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhou Jinbai confirmed his guess.
"You really regret it?" His heart ached. "Then what should I do to make you not regret it? Please don't regret it. I will treat you better in the future. Please don't abandon me."
Zhou Jinbai's chest heaved twice, and there was a suspicious redness at the corners of his eyes. He slowly hugged her, his fingers trembling a little.
"Sometimes I get so anxious I speak without thinking. Don't be angry. I really don't mean to blame you. I'm just worried about you..."
Su Li pressed her fingers against his thin lips. "Okay, I didn't say anything to you, and I didn't say I regretted it. When I really regret it, you won't have the chance to see me again."
Zhou Jinbai exhaled heavily and kissed her fingers. "Honey, don't feel bad anymore. Husband will hug you. I'll take you out to play and relax with you later, okay? If you like, kiss me."
Su Li remained indifferent. Zhou Jinbai didn't wait for her to take the initiative. He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. "You're so sweet! How could such a good wife of mine be angry with me? Is that right?"
After saying that, he pecked her ears a few more times. Su Li pushed his face away and said, "Alright, you're clingier than a dog."
Zhou Jinbai asked softly, "My wife, can't I stick to you? I'll stick to you for the rest of my life. You have to take me with you wherever you go. Even if I die, you have to take my ashes with you. I'll never be separated from you in this life."
Su Li's heart choked, "You're saying unlucky things again."
Zhou Jinbai hummed, "Although it's unlucky, this is what I truly want. When I die, you take my ashes with you. Wherever you go, I'll go. We'll be together forever."
Su Li's mood successfully changed from anger to pain.
She sat on his lap and pinched his cheek hard, "Zhou Jinbai, did you come back just to annoy me?"
Zhou Jinbai smiled and looked at her expression. "No, I came back to comfort you. Stop pinching me, it hurts."
Su Li let go of his hand, lowered her head and bit his lower lip fiercely, tearing it with her teeth, "I'll bite you to death, it will hurt you to death, you just know how to irritate me."
