Chapter 43

There were too many cameras at the premiere, and Rong Susu didn't want to be on camera, especially because Cheng Huaian, who couldn't be seen in public, was still with her. So she put on a mask, which earned her a sneer from Cheng Huaian.

"He's trying to cover his ears and steal the bell." He said that everyone in the Licheng circle knew about their "fake divorce".

Rong Susu didn't care about others, she was mainly careful not to let Yan Jiayu see it.

The movie is just so-so, because without the filter for the male lead, she is not very interested. The big scenes still look quite exciting, but it is probably very expensive. Cheng Huaian came to inspect the results in person.

"I hope you make a lot of money." Rong Susu gave her sincere blessings. After all, Cheng Huaian was rich and more generous to her.

"Thanks."

The two of them were rarely calm, but when it came to the love scene, she felt something strange on the back of her hand, a warm touch.

The person sitting next to her became restless and placed his palm on the back of her hand.

"Take your claws away, this is not included in the service items." Rong Susu turned her head very calmly and said to the person who broke the contract.

Cheng Huaian said innocently: "I'm sorry, this seat is too narrow and I can't move my arms."

Haha, it’s great that you didn’t mean it.

It's strange that when I asked him to take his claws away, this person didn't get angry.

Most of the people who came to the premiere were from the circle, and many actors and celebrities were invited. Some people recognized Cheng Huaian and came over to say hello.

Forget about other people, there was also a very popular female star who came over and squatted directly in front of Cheng Huaian. Her neckline was a little low, and her hills and valleys were faintly visible. I don’t know if it was intentional or unintentional.

The other party chatted with Cheng Huaian enthusiastically and did not forget to look at her. She did not hide and let people see her openly. Anyway, she was wearing a mask and no one could see anything.

The man talked for a long time without complaining about the numbness in his legs. Rong Susu was thirsty, so she picked up the mineral water bottle on the armrest and twisted it for a while, but it didn't open. Her hand still hurt. She was about to find a tissue to pad it and then try harder, but a hand reached out and took the bottle away.

Even though he wasn't looking in her direction, he was able to grab her bottle accurately.

While he was listening to the female star talking, he twisted the lid with his slender fingers lightly, and Cheng Huaian handed it back.

The whole set of movements is smooth and natural.

Just now, when he took advantage of the darkness to place his palm on the back of her hand, Rong Susu didn't feel anything at all, but for some reason, such a small action seemed to pluck a string in her heart, causing her emotions to tremble for a long time.

Rong Susu could feel the surprise of the actress in front of her. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly. She looked at herself curiously, then chatted for a few more words and left.

"Do you know each other?" Rong Susu was a little curious. They had wanted to invite celebrities from the circle before, but they had no money. Unexpectedly, all of them, regardless of gender, came to throw themselves at Cheng Huaian.

It seems that the money she got during the divorce was too little. In this contrast, Rong Susu became passionate about making money again.

"I don't even know who she is." Cheng Huaian said indifferently. He usually doesn't watch TV dramas or read entertainment news, so how would he know who these people are? To him, they all look alike.

Rong Susu......

I don't know you but you've been chatting for so long. Okay, just pretend she didn't say anything.

Zhang Qianni returned to her agent, who was very happy to see her chatting with Cheng Huaian for so long.

"This movie was invested by them. If you can attract their investment for your next movie, everyone in the circle will look up to you," said the agent.

This is indeed true. After all, whoever brings in the investment has the final say.

Zhang Qianni just came over to get close to Cheng Huaian and get to know him, but this man is indeed top-notch. Not only is he handsome, but most importantly, he has a noble temperament that is not comparable to that of ordinary male stars.

"I heard that he is divorced. Who is that woman next to him?" Zhang Qianni asked her agent.

The agent has a relatively high status in the circle. It happened that she went backstage just now and ran into Cheng Huaian and his group.

"I just heard him say he was a family member."

Family members usually refer to the other half, right? How long has it been since the divorce? Why did you get married again so soon?

Seeing her confusion, the agent laughed and said, "Definitely not. I've inquired about him and he's divorced and single now. However, he has a precious sister who he protects very well. She must be this girl."

Maybe he didn't want to reveal his sister's information and just referred to her as a relative. This made sense, Zhang Qianni thought, especially when he unscrewed the bottle cap for her just now, which was quite like a brother taking care of his sister.

They were wearing big masks, so their faces couldn't be seen clearly. But if you just look at their eyes, they are indeed very beautiful. Both the brother and sister are people with outstanding looks.

"I heard they are still looking for a spokesperson for the game." Zhang Qianni asked the agent. She had contacted him before, but he was not among the candidates under consideration.

There were so many people around, and she had just gotten the inside scoop. Her agent leaned over and whispered, "I heard it was Fang Xianze."

The movie was over, and it was time for everyone to brag about their business. Rong Susu was not interested, and patted Cheng Huaian, indicating that she wanted to leave.

The man stood up immediately. They were sitting relatively hidden at the back, so no one noticed when they came out.

"Okay, now that the movie is over, my mission is over." Rong Susu pounded her waist. She was really tired after sitting for so long. She really wanted to lie on the bed and have a comfortable sleep, but unfortunately, her stomach started to rumble.

"Are you hungry?" Cheng Huaian asked. They came here without having eaten, and it was now ten o'clock in the evening. He was already starving.

"If you're hungry, I can eat with you." Rong Susu was in a good mood.

Cheng Huaian subconsciously took out his mobile phone to transfer money again, but was stopped by her. Rong Susu was quite satisfied with today's itinerary, so in return, she gave him a free midnight snack.

There was a hint of surprise in the man's eyes, and he asked her what she wanted to eat. This was a shopping mall, and most restaurants were closed at ten o'clock.

"Barbecue on the roadside." Rong Susu was quite excited. She hadn't tried it for many years and was eager to try it.

***

Licheng has paid special attention to the appearance of the city in recent years. Roadside barbecues are really rare. They walked around the entire street but didn't see a single stall. There is no way to navigate in such a place, so they can only drive around aimlessly.

"There, there!" Rong Susu was sharp-eyed and saw a small stall, and directed Cheng Huaian to stop there.

All kinds of meat were grilled to a delicious taste, including Rong Susu's favorite pork chop and chicken wings, and she asked the boss to serve some.

Turning around, I saw Cheng Huaian looking at the greasy table at a loss, sitting awkwardly on a small stool, a bit like an older problem child.

It’s like a wife who comes home tired after a day of work only to see the house in a mess. Her husband had already gotten off work but hadn’t done any housework and was lying in bed browsing his phone.

It's really hard for women nowadays. It is said that women hold up half the sky, holding up half outside and the whole sky at home. This is already holding up more than half of the sky, right?

"You are so stupid. Don't you know to wipe the table?" Rong Susu took out wet wipes from her bag, pulled out a few more, rolled up her sleeves, and started to wipe the table.

"Then let me do it." Cheng Huaian thought the boss would wipe it, so he just sat there without moving. After all, it was almost ten years ago that he had eaten barbecue on the roadside.

"Go away." Rong Susu waved her arm to block his hand. They were almost done, and this guy just intervened. What's the matter? Is he trying to steal the credit?

"Now that you're away from your aunt and Qi Shuo, you're completely out of tune with society." She couldn't help but complain.

Whenever he goes out, he will be surrounded by people. Everything will be arranged for him. He will have everything he wants. If he goes bankrupt one day, he probably won’t even be able to beg for food.

While complaining, he didn't stop his hands. He asked for hot water and scalded the dishes and chopsticks. Then he took out a portion and gave it to Cheng Huaian.

"It's clean now, isn't it?"

Cheng Huaian listened silently. In the past, he would feel annoyed when Rong Susu nagging him, but now he just thought it was very nice.

After the divorce, he moved to an apartment. It was such a big apartment and he was the only one living there in the empty apartment. In fact, he didn't like to go back.

The best excuse for not going home is overtime and social activities. For the past six months, he felt like he was living a life neither human nor ghost.

In the past, Rong Susu would call him from time to time after 9 o'clock in the evening, asking him to drink less and finish early.

When I go home, there is always a light waiting for me, and there is always someone caring about me.

Now he is alone when he returns. He often sits on the sofa until dawn, wanting to talk but not knowing who to talk to. This kind of negative emotion has been accumulated for a long time, and has silently formed a desire for destruction and possessiveness. His first choice is Rong Susu. He wants to destroy everything around her and make her come back to him. Cheng Huaian feels that if he continues like this, he might really go crazy.

Watching the stall owners busying around, people coming and going all the time, Rong Susu's nagging in my ears, and the homely atmosphere of home, the emptiness in my heart is being filled, the darkness is being dispelled, and my restless mood slowly calms down.

"Even though the yard was so big before, I don't think we ever had an open-air barbecue."

He took the skewers of meat handed to him by Rong Susu and took a bite. The meat was roasted very tenderly and sprinkled with a lot of seasonings. It was indeed very fragrant.

Rong Susu eats barbecue much more casually than him. She bites several pieces of meat in one bite and pulls them off all at once. Meat tastes better when eaten in big bites.

"You? That will take forever." Rong Susu still didn't hold any hope for unrealistic fantasies.

The villa was bought in the third year after they got married. Because she always wanted to have a big garden, Cheng Huaian bought this one with a larger yard. Such a large area is enough for an open-air barbecue, but it seems that no one has this idea.

"Beauty, here are the dishes you ordered." The boss brought over the stir-fried vegetables. They were eating on the side of the road with people coming and going. A child playing on a skateboard happened to come in suddenly. The boss dodged for fear of hitting the child and the plate fell over.

Rong Susu thought the dish was going to be thrown on her head and was so scared that she almost closed her eyes, but no, she heard the boss's anxious voice, "Sir, is your hand okay?!"

Cheng Huaian quickly blocked it for her, and a large area on the back of his hand was burned red.

"Are you okay?" Rong Susu got up anxiously to check, but Cheng Huaian shook his hands and said nonchalantly that it was okay.

"Let me see!" Rong Susu grabbed his hand and did not allow any resistance.

She got furious the moment she saw it. "That's nothing!" The entire back of her hand was red and swollen from the burn. It wasn't particularly severe, but it definitely hurt.

I can’t even eat, I have to go to the hospital quickly.

The boss quickly brought mineral water to give him a rinse and apologized, saying he would pay for the medical expenses. "Sir, I'm so sorry. I really didn't mean to. You see, I was just avoiding that child."

He was still pointing as he spoke, but the child had already run away.

It’s okay, it’s okay, Cheng Huaian waved his hand. This was a normal reaction of the boss. Anyone would hide from the child first. Fortunately, Rong Susu was not injured. He would not make things difficult for others because of such things.
