Before Jiang Chen went out tonight, he had an emergency training on dating skills with Jiang Shaoping.
When it comes to dating, Jiang Chen's first thought is to have a candlelight dinner together, listen to a concert, or go to the mall to buy bags, clothes, and jewelry... He thought that women always like these things, but after his father knew his thoughts, Jiang Chen was despised by Jiang Shaoping.
So, after being instructed, Jiang Chen drove all the way, with a skeptical attitude, and took Shen Mingyou to the riverside... to enjoy the cold wind.
After arriving at the destination, Jiang Chen walked around the front of the car, went to the passenger side, and gentlemanly helped Shen Mingyou open the door.
After getting off the car, Shen Mingyou glanced at the pitch-black river view not far away, wondering why Jiang Chen brought her here.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Chen called her, took out a bouquet of flowers from the back seat and handed it to Shen Mingyou, "Congratulations on returning to your workplace."
Jiang Chen looked into her eyes and said, "Also, you are very beautiful tonight."
Jiang Shaoping said that men should learn to say sweet words. If they are not good at speaking, it is always right to compliment a woman on her beauty.
Jiang Chen thought that Jiang Shaoping didn't need to teach him this because he really thought Shen Mingyou was beautiful.
She was radiant with charm on the red carpet tonight. Not only her fans, but Jiang Chen was also amazed by Shen Mingyou. He always knew that his wife was beautiful, but tonight she was more beautiful than ever. If her beauty was covered with a veil before and could not be easily discovered, then tonight, her beauty was ostentatious, like a flower blooming brilliantly, so beautiful that it made people's hearts breathtaking.
Shen Mingyou looked at the flowers that Jiang Chen handed over. The bouquet was not big, suitable for her to hold in one hand. The light pink Phalaenopsis orchids were delicate and gorgeous, and they were in full bloom, looking particularly beautiful.
This is her favorite flower.
And her favorite words, returning to the workplace was not an easy thing for Shen Mingyou, but she did it, Jiang Chen's congratulations made her feel recognized, which made her feel relaxed and happy.
Shen Mingyou took the flowers and held them in her arms. She looked around and asked, "Is this the meeting place you mentioned?"
Jiang Chen nodded: "There are not many people here at night, and the river breeze is cool. We can take a walk in the breeze. What do you think?"
Shen Mingyou: “Not bad.”
Jiang Chen was delighted, it seemed that this simple date location was the right choice.
It's just that Shen Mingyou's shoes are not suitable. Such high heels are not suitable for walking. Jiang Chen took out a pair of flat shoes from the bag in the back seat and put them in front of Shen Mingyou: "Change your shoes before going."
Shen Mingyou took a step back: "I won't change."
Jiang Chen squatted down, held her ankles, and wanted to help her change them: "You'd better change them. High heels are not suitable for walking."
Shen Mingyou broke free from his hand: "I really don't want to change."
"..." Seeing that she really didn't want to change, Jiang Chen had no choice but to stand up.
"Why not change?" Jiang Chen disagreed, "It's so tiring to walk like this, and it's easy to sprain your ankle."
Shen Mingyou: "...It looks good this way."
Her red dress matches her high heels perfectly. The hem of her dress falls on the shoes and won't be stepped on. If she changes into flat shoes, how can she wear this red dress? Even if she can wear it, it won't look good.
Shen Mingyou didn't expect Jiang Chen, a straight man, to understand her little thoughts, so she had to say it straight out.
"..." Jiang Chen didn't expect it was because of this reason. This should be what girls call grace over warmth. However, he said, "You look good no matter what."
Shen Mingyou: “…”
Tonight, Jiang Chen's mouth seemed to be enlightened and suddenly became sweet.
"But you're prone to falling." Jiang Chen put his flat shoes in the car. He came to Shen Mingyou, paused, then stretched out his right hand with his palm facing up, and said in a low voice, "If I hold you, you won't fall."
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little nervous and his palms began to sweat slightly.
Will she reject him?
Although they have been married for five years and have done everything they should and shouldn't do, their relationship has become very subtle after she returned to China this time. The couple has always maintained an appropriate safe distance between them, and they haven't had skin-to-skin contact for a long time.
Jiang Chen rarely feels this nervous. This feeling is new and unfamiliar, and even he himself doesn't know why he is so nervous.
Shen Mingyou looked at the big hand stretched out in front of him. Jiang Chen's hands were really beautiful, with neatly trimmed nails, long fingers and distinct joints.
Shen Mingyou did not refuse him this time. She raised her left hand and placed her left palm into his big palm.
In almost an instant, Jiang Chen's hand held her hand tightly.
She did not reject him.
Jiang Chen curled up his fingers and exerted a little force with his palm, trying to hold her hand tighter to prevent her hand from slipping out of his palm.
Jiang Chen thought, maybe it was because they hadn't had skin-to-skin contact for too long, just holding hands could make his heart pound.
Shen Mingyou raised her head slightly and looked at him, smiling and said, "You have to hold on tight, or I'll blame you if I fall."
"Okay." Jiang Chen held her hand tighter.
Shen Mingyou held her Phalaenopsis in her right hand, and Jiang Chen held her left hand tightly. The two of them walked on the river bank, strolling slowly.
The river breeze blew towards me, bringing moist air onto my face and body, driving away the heat and making me feel comfortable.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, then walked quietly holding hands. Jiang Chen matched her steps, following her neither fast nor slow.
The river breeze blew the Phalaenopsis orchid in Shen Mingyou's hand. Shen Mingyou smelled the fragrance of the Phalaenopsis orchid. She asked curiously, "How do you know I like Phalaenopsis orchids?"
When Jiang Chen went to Hai City to pick them up today, he also brought a bouquet of Phalaenopsis orchids. At first, Shen Mingyou thought, like Nian Nian, that the bouquet of Phalaenopsis orchids was for her mother-in-law, but later Jiang Chen brought a gift for her mother-in-law. Nian Nian also had a gift, but Shen Mingyou didn't have one.
Because Phalaenopsis is her favorite flower, Shen Mingyou guessed that the bouquet of Phalaenopsis was most likely a gift from Jiang Chen to her, but with the help of Nian Nian, the bouquet of flowers coincidentally ended up in Gu Jin's hands.
Tonight, Jiang Chen gave her another bouquet of Phalaenopsis orchids, which was her favorite. Jiang Chen had never given her one before and he never knew she liked it. I don't know where he found out this time.
Jiang Chen replied: "I called Butler He."
Butler He is the old butler who has taken care of Shen Mingyou when she was a child and went abroad to live with her mother. Shen Mingyou was raised by Butler He. After she got married and lived abroad, it was also Butler He who took care of her. After Nian Nian was born, he helped take care of Nian Nian. Butler He is like a family member to her and Nian Nian.
However, Butler He is old and has reached retirement age. He has never been married and has no children. When Shen Mingyou planned to return to China to settle down, he originally wanted to take Butler He back with him to retire. However, Butler He's parents are of Chinese descent, and he was born and raised abroad. He has already adapted to life abroad. Butler He refused Shen Mingyou's invitation to return to China to retire.
"How is Butler He? I miss him a little."
"He is in good health. He said that he missed you and Nian Nian very much. When he is free for a while, he will come to visit you in China."
Butler He has several distant relatives in China. He will return to China every few years to visit these relatives. Sometimes he will also return to China for the Chinese New Year to reunite with his relatives in China.
Shen Mingyou was very happy when she heard that Butler He was coming to the country to see her.
Maybe he was too happy and stepped on something, and his body tilted and he was about to fall to the side.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen was quick to support her.
Jiang Chen held her waist with one hand and held her hand with the other without letting go. He said with a smile in his eyes: "I knew you would fall."
Shen Mingyou said stubbornly: "Don't you have it? You won't fall."
Then Jiang Chen laughed out loud.
What they didn't know was that not far away, there was a camera that captured this very scene.
There were not many people walking along the river, but there were still some people there. Among them was a young couple walking along the river. The couple was talking about love when they saw a couple in front of them who looked extremely well-matched just by looking at their backs. This couple quickly attracted the couple's attention.
The girl in the couple is also a fan of celebrities. She soon discovered that the woman in the red dress in front seemed to be Shen Mingyou who was attending the fashion awards ceremony tonight. When she was watching the live broadcast, she really liked Shen Mingyou's red dress. She didn't expect that Shen Mingyou was walking in front of her now!
The man next to Shen Mingyou was also recognized by the young couple. He was Shen Mingyou's husband Jiang Chen.
The young couple was very excited. When they were about to go forward to take a group photo with their phones in hand, Shen Mingyou in front of them seemed to suddenly twist her ankle and almost fell. Jiang Chen next to her immediately hugged her. The two of them huddled together, whispering something. The atmosphere was ambiguous and beautiful.
The young couple subconsciously took a picture of this scene. Seeing how good the atmosphere was between the couple, the young couple finally walked away quietly without disturbing them.
But the couple couldn't help but take the photo, and finally posted it online.
This candid photo quickly caused a sensation on the Internet.
In the photo, Jiang Feng blew Shen Mingyou's hair into a messy beauty. Her long hair was blown behind her shoulders, revealing the gemstone earrings on her ears. The earrings were also swaying gently in the wind. She had a shawl wrapped around her shoulders, and the tassels on the shawl were also swaying in the wind.
There was no lighting, only the light and shadow of the street lamps. Shen Mingyou was breathtakingly beautiful just standing there.
She held the flowers in one hand and Jiang Chen held the other hand.
Jiang Chen was wearing a shirt and suit pants. He was tall and slender. He was leaning sideways, with one hand around Shen Mingyou's slender waist and the other hand holding Shen Mingyou's fair little hand. In the picture, Jiang Chen lowered his head slightly and was very close to Shen Mingyou. His mouth was slightly open as if he was talking. Shen Mingyou tilted her head to listen to him. It was unknown what he said, but Shen Mingyou seemed to be amused by him, with a hint of an obvious smile on her face.
The two people in the picture are looking at each other, their eyes fixed on each other. Only the outline of their faces is revealed. There is no delicate composition, it is a complete snapshot, but the atmosphere is full. The more snapshot, the more natural it is, and the more natural it is, the more breathtakingly beautiful it is.
After seeing this photo, fans and passers-by screamed——
"Ahhh, what do you want from a wealthy sibling? Wouldn't it be nice to have a real wealthy couple?!"
"Although rich siblings are fun to watch, I really feel I'm defeated compared to the real rich couples nowadays!"
"Shen Mingyou's looks go well with all the male actors in the industry, but after seeing Shen Mingyou's husband, I can only say that it would be a loss for the entertainment industry if President Jiang didn't enter the entertainment industry. This couple stood together and did nothing, but I felt like they had already done everything. As a beauty lover, I'm really going crazy!"
"See? The way brother-in-law Youzi looks at sister Youzi is so sweet. How on earth does sister Youzi hold on? It's so sweet, really so sweet!"
"The atmosphere of this picture is really amazing. The couple is a perfect match. I have never felt that this couple is so well matched!"
"This couple finally held hands and hugged each other! Humph, they didn't let us see it on the show, but they held hands and hugged each other in private. You are a wealthy couple, please be generous and stop being so stingy. Sprinkle more sweetness, it's really not enough!"
"Sister Youzi is holding a bunch of flowers in her hands. They must be from CEO Jiang. She went on a date right after get off work. I didn't expect that brother-in-law Youzi is so romantic in private. It's so sweet!"
"The Chen You couple is the best. I will carry the banner of the Chen You couple for a hundred years!"

**
Shen Mingyou didn't know about the hot search. Because she was worried about Nian Nian and walking in high heels was indeed a bit tiring, she stayed by the river to enjoy the breeze for a while, and soon after, she and Jiang Chen went back.
It was already past ten o'clock when we got home. Nian Nian, who was supposed to go to bed at nine o'clock, was still awake. She was helping her grandmother make midnight snacks, and she looked very energetic.
Seeing her mother coming back, Nian Nian happily came up to her and said, "Mom, grandma specially made a midnight snack for you today. Come and eat it."
Gu Jin came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl: "Youyou, you didn't eat much for dinner today, you must be hungry now, eat some wontons before going to bed, otherwise you won't be able to sleep with an empty stomach."
The midnight snack that Gu Jian prepared was small wontons in fresh soup. The wontons were made by her herself, and the soup was made from broth boiled from large bones. Shen Mingyou smelled the fragrance as soon as she entered the house.
Shen Mingyou and Jiang Chen came out after washing their hands, and the family sat around the dining table.
Shen Mingyou and Jiang Chen had the largest portions in their bowls. Gu Jin and Jiang Shaoping were not used to having midnight snacks, so they just put a few pieces of food in their bowls to try the flavor. Nian Nian also had a small bowl in front of her, which contained some soup and a few small wontons.
Shen Mingyou was indeed a little hungry. She scooped a wonton with a spoon and put it into her mouth. The delicious taste instantly filled her mouth. She then drank a sip of the soup, and her stomach felt much better.
Several people were slowly eating the wontons in their bowls, but Nian Nian didn't pick up her chopsticks.
Jiang Shaoping asked: "Niannian, why don't you eat? Is it because the wontons don't suit your taste?"
Nian Nian shook her head. She sniffed and smelled the aroma of wontons. She actually wanted to eat some, but she touched her round belly regretfully and said, "Mom said that I've gained weight recently and my belly is too round. I need to control my diet."
Seeing this little baby with such self-control, several adults couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Mingyou: "This is made by grandma herself. Nian Nian can have a little. We can't waste grandma's kindness."
"Okay." Hearing her mother say this, Nian Nian immediately picked up the chopsticks, picked up a plump little wonton accurately, blew on it twice, and the little wonton instantly went into her stomach.
Nian Nian quickly finished all the wontons in the bowl in two bites, leaving no soup at all. But Nian Nian was the one who finished eating the fastest.
After Gu Jin finished eating, he stood up to help Nian Nian clean up the dishes. Nian Nian pressed her own bowl and said, "Nian Nian, clean up yourself."
Gu Jin said: "Grandma will help you."
"No need." Nian Nian put her chopsticks on the small bowl. "Mom said that Nian Nian has grown up and needs to learn to do things for herself."
Jiang Shaoping praised: "Our Nian Nian is really a good child."
Gu Jin smiled and asked, "Why does Nian Nian listen to your mother so much?"
In the past few days, Gu Jin has noticed that when the little baby Nian Nian speaks, she likes to add a prefix such as "Mom said" or "My mom said", as if this has become a habit of Nian Nian.
Nian Nian looked up and saw that the adults were all looking at her. She grinned, showing her little canine teeth, and said, "Because, Nian Nian is my baby girl."
Gu Jin & Jiang Shaoping: "..."
Shen Mingyou & Jiang Chen: "..."
"Because Nian Nian is a mama's girl, Nian Nian is a good child who listens to her mother." Nian Nian just learned the term 'mama's boy' from her grandmother today. If her father is a man and he listens to her mother, he is a mama's boy. Nian Nian is a little girl and she listens to her mother, so she should be a mama's girl.
Nian Nian likes being a mother to a baby girl.
Without seeing the shocked looks on the adults' faces, Nian Nian took her own small bowl and chopsticks, ran into the kitchen, and put her bowl and chopsticks into the sink.
Shen Mingyou wondered, "I wonder where Nian Nian learned this word from."
Gu Jin & Jiang Chen: "..."
Jiang Shaoping, who knew the situation, lowered his head, held back his laughter, and continued eating the wontons in his bowl.
After having supper, Shen Mingyou returned to her room to take a shower, and Jiang Chen followed her into the bedroom.
Jiang Chen sat on the sofa in the bedroom and saw Shen Mingyou walking around. He thought that since his parents were at home tonight, Shen Mingyou would not send him to the study to sleep alone.
Moreover, tonight's date was a success and the relationship between the two seemed to be much better than before.
Jiang Chen calmly picked up a book and started reading while sitting on the sofa.
Shen Mingyou found her pajamas and walked past the seated Jiang Chen with her things. When she was about to go to the bathroom, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt because she was not wearing high heels and her skirt was too long. She tripped and fell to the side. In order to avoid getting hurt, Shen Mingyou used some strength to let herself fall into the sofa, and then accidentally fell on Jiang Chen.
Shen Mingyou: “…”
She really didn't mean it.
Jiang Chen put down his hands and took the opportunity to hold Shen Mingyou's waist. Because she was bent over, her body curves were fully exposed, and her waist was not thin enough to be held in one hand. Jiang Chen slightly exerted force on the hand holding her waist, and Shen Mingyou was led by his action, and her whole body fell completely into his arms——
"Can I take it that Madam is throwing herself into your arms tonight?"
Once at the riverside and once when she returned home, and both times she fell into his arms. Jiang Chen really thought that this might be some kind of hint from his wife.
Upon hearing this, the wrongly accused Shen Mingyou pinched it immediately without caring where his hand was at the moment, and then found that it was too hard to move at all.
Jiang Chen's eyes darkened. Shen Mingyou was pinching his abdominal muscles.
His wife's action further convinced Jiang Chen of his previous thoughts.
As a husband, he naturally has to take the initiative.
Jiang Chen's palm slowly moved up along her slender waist. His hand felt like it was on fire, and even his fingertips began to burn. He leaned close to Shen Mingyou's ear, breathed in her ear, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "Let's sleep together tonight!"
Shen Mingyou: “…”
