Shen Mingyou discovered that Jiang Chen had changed.
Jiang Chen, who seldom contacted her before, now started to become clingy.
When Shen Mingyou finished filming a scene and was taking a break, her assistant Xiaoxi handed her her phone again: "Sister Mingyou, it seems that my brother-in-law just sent me a message again."
Tang Qian, who was standing next to him, heard this and immediately looked over. He said teasingly, "I didn't expect that your CEO Jiang would be so clingy in private. He seems like he can't leave you for even a moment."
During the past few days when Shen Mingyou was filming on the set, Tang Qian noticed that the man from Shen Mingyou's family would call or send text messages from time to time. During the intermissions of Shen Mingyou's filming, he was either answering the phone or lowering his head, holding a mobile phone and sending messages. Tang Qian didn't know who it was at first, but after knowing who it was, Tang Qian was a little speechless.
A boss like him, turns out to be a clingy person.
Tang Qian thought of the female boss in his family. He had to admit that he was actually a little envious of Shen Mingyou. He wished that the one in his family could be as clingy as the one in Shen Mingyou's family.
Shen Mingyou ignored Tang Qian. She felt a headache after taking the phone.
During these two days, Jiang Chen would greet her on time for three meals a day, and would call her before going to bed at night. He would also send her text messages from time to time to report his whereabouts, or share with her some interesting things that happened to Nian Nian in kindergarten...
Compared with his previous coldness and alienation, Jiang Chen seemed to have gone from one extreme to another. He used to be indifferent and didn't care, but now he reports every detail to his wife. He is like a completely different person.
Shen Mingyou was a little uncomfortable at first.
She turned on her phone and found that the message Jiang Chen sent her was about the wedding of his good friend Xiao Hang.
[Xiao Hang wants Nian Nian to be a flower girl at his wedding. I wanted to refuse, but Xiao Hang insisted that Nian Nian go, so I came to ask for your opinion.]
Shen Mingyou replied: [As long as Nian Nian agrees, that's fine.]
Jiang Chen's message came back quickly: [Nian Nian kind of wants to go.]
【That's all.】
【But I don’t want to think about it. 】
Shen Mingyou put down her phone. She was not really concerned about why Jiang Chen did not agree to let Nian Nian go. It was just a secret rivalry between two good friends. When men act childish sometimes, they are really childish.
Sure enough, seeing that Shen Mingyou didn't ask the reason, Jiang Chen sent a message right after, and took the initiative to explain the reason.
[Our daughter Nian Nian is now a big star with many fans. She was already a great honor to Xiao Hang by attending his wedding. But he still wanted my daughter to be his flower girl. Being a flower girl was not enough, he even wanted Nian Nian to perform a robot dance with him at his wedding. He had a beautiful dream! ]
"It's President Jiang again?" Huo Xingze, who had just finished filming, came over and saw Shen Mingyou sending a message. He also guessed who the person on the other end was.
Shen Mingyou nodded.
Huo Xingze shrugged and said, "This Mr. Jiang in your family is quite interesting. He didn't look for you before when you were at home every day. Now that you finally go out to work, he comes to bother you every day. Men are like this. If you ignore him, he will come to you instead..."
When Huo Xingze and Shen Mingyou were alone in private, they spoke more casually than usual and did not act like a superstar. Shen Mingyou saw that he was getting more and more outrageous, so she raised her hand and tapped him on the forehead, correcting him, "Call me brother-in-law."
When Shen Mingyou and Nian Nian lived abroad, Huo Xingze would often visit them. He knew something about Shen Mingyou's marital status, so Huo Xingze actually didn't have a good impression of this "brother-in-law".
Huo Xingze clicked his tongue and took the phone from Shen Mingyou's hand. "Okay, stop texting. The director is calling for someone. Hurry up and go over."
Shen Mingyou turned around and saw that the director was really calling her, so she had no choice but to get up and go to the director.
On the other side, Jiang Chen was messaging Shen Mingyou, and when he saw that Shen Mingyou didn't reply, he called.
The cell phone happened to be in Huo Xingze's hand. After seeing the caller ID, he curled his lips, picked up the phone and said hello.
Jiang Chen was answered by a male voice. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Huo Xingze."
Jiang Chen frowned even more when he heard this: "Excuse me, where is my wife?"
"Sister Youyou is out filming, and she gave me her phone to keep. If Mr. Jiang has anything to say, please let me know and I will pass it on for you."
"No need." Jiang Chen said, "I'll contact her later."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen held the phone in his hand and thought. Something like a mobile phone involves a lot of privacy. If you don't absolutely trust someone, you will not easily hand over your phone to the other person for safekeeping. This can only mean that Shen Mingyou trusts Huo Xingze very much.
Although he told himself that Shen Mingyou's trust was only out of trust in a friend, Jiang Chen still felt like there was a stone blocking his heart, unable to move up or down, making him feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Chen looked through the chat history in his phone and found that Shen Mingyou had seldom replied to his messages in the past few days. When he called her, Shen Mingyou either didn't answer most of the time or her assistant answered the call. It was difficult for him to even talk to his wife on the phone, let alone meet her.
However, Huo Xingze spends every day with Shen Mingyou on the crew!
Jiang Chen's brows were deeply furrowed. He disliked this man named Huo Xingze.
When Jiang Chen was sitting at his desk, thinking deeply with his mobile phone, the office door was pushed open.
Jiang Chen looked up and saw that the person coming was Xiao Hang. He raised his hand to signal the secretary behind him to go out. Jiang Chen picked up the pen and went back to work.
Xiao Hang sat on the chair opposite Jiang Chen and said unhappily, "Why do you have to work as soon as I get here?"
When he broke in just now, he saw Jiang Chen staring at his cell phone in a daze.
"If you have something to say, tell me. If you don't, leave."
Seeing that he was about to chase people away again, Xiao Hang hurriedly asked, "You said you would discuss it with your wife about Nian Nian being my flower girl. Have you done it yet?"
Xiao Hang muttered, "For such a small matter, you still have to ask your wife for permission. Mr. Jiang, it seems that you really have no status as a husband."
Jiang Chen said without even raising his head: "Don't worry, after you get married, you will probably be even worse than me."
Xiao Hang choked, took a step back and said, "Let's put it this way. Forget about dancing the robot dance with Nian Nian. I can dance alone, but I can't let Nian Nian be my flower girl and hand me the ring. My wife loves Nian Nian very much. She wants the baby in her belly to be as cute as Nian Nian after it is born. As a friend, you must help with this little thing."
"knew."
Jiang Chen put down his pen. He was a little upset. He could usually read ten lines at a glance, but now he couldn't even read a single word of the document. He had to pick up his phone again and start reading.
Seeing that he finally agreed, Xiao Hang said happily, "The night before the wedding, we should take Nian Nian to rehearse in advance, so that there will be fewer mistakes during the wedding..."
Xiao Hang was talking a lot, but he realized that Jiang Chen, who was sitting opposite him, was not listening to what he was saying at all. Instead, his expression seemed to be getting worse and worse.
Jiang Chen's face looked really bad.
Because just now, Shen Mingyou was on the hot search again, still with Huo Xingze.
A few minutes ago, the crew of "Asking the Sky" released two photos of Huo Xingze.
One is a solo photo of Huo Xingze, and the other is a double photo of Huo Xingze and Shen Mingyou.
Just a few minutes after the stills were released, they became a hot topic.
#Huo Xingze guest-stars in the TV series "Asking the Sky"#
#Huo Xingze and Shen Mingyou's stills#
The popularity is constantly increasing, and the number of likes and comments from fans and netizens is also increasing.
In the stills, Huo Xingze and Shen Mingyou each point their swords at each other, one black and one white. The look in their eyes shows both admiration and respect for each other, as well as a determination to kill each other. They seem like enemies, but also like lovers who still have feelings for each other.
[Huo Xingze is so nice. He must be making a guest appearance for Shen Mingyou's sake. You know, Huo Xingze has never acted in a TV series and only played the leading male role. Now he is making a guest appearance in a TV series! I have to say, Shen Mingyou is really generous!]
[Are Huo Xingze and Shen Mingyou in a love-hate relationship in the drama? The stills are so exciting, I’m really looking forward to the broadcast! ]
[Who said Shen Mingyou has no acting skills? In this still, her eye acting is amazing. If this is considered as a lack of acting skills, then what is considered as good acting skills?!]
[I look forward to Sister Youzi's first major female lead drama "Asking the Sky" being aired soon, and I also look forward to Teacher Huo's wonderful performance in the drama. Oh, by the way, there is also our Teacher Tang Qian. I believe that Teacher Tang Qian's acting skills will definitely make a breakthrough this time! ]
[Ahhh, these two are such a perfect match. If Shen Mingyou hadn’t gotten married yet, I would definitely support this brother and sister!]
[I can’t take it anymore. Even though Shen Mingyou is married, I still like Huo Xingze and Shen Mingyou. They are such a great couple!]
[Am I the only one who feels that Huo Xingze is too good to Shen Mingyou? The first time was when he was a guest of Shen Mingyou in "Super Mom". Not long ago, he visited Shen Mingyou's crew again. A few days ago, he brought Shen Mingyou to walk the red carpet at the Fashion Awards. Now, he, a movie star who specializes in movies, came to the TV crew to be a guest actor just for Shen Mingyou... Shen Mingyou will become so popular so quickly after her comeback. Huo Xingze must have made a great contribution. Is their relationship really just that of neighbor siblings? I don't believe that they are just neighbor siblings, but he is so determined to help her! ]
[Some people in the comments section are seriously ill. They were good neighbors when they were young. What's wrong with them helping each other in their own circle when they grow up? They even have to talk about conspiracy. What's wrong with their brains?]
…
Jiang Chen read the comments one by one, and his expression became more serious the more he read.
Xiao Hang quickly noticed Jiang Chen's depression and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Jiang Chen motioned for him to continue, "You talk, I'm listening."
Xiao Hang had actually said everything he needed to say. He thought for a moment and said, "My wedding is almost ready. Everything is perfect. Of course, it would be perfect if you could lend me your private island to hold the wedding."
Jiang Chen has a private island with particularly beautiful scenery and complete supporting facilities, making it very suitable for holding weddings.
When Xiao Hang was thinking about the location for his wedding, the first place he thought of was Jiang Chen's private island. However, when he proposed it to Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen rejected it as soon as he opened his mouth. Later, considering that his wife was pregnant and it would be inconvenient for her to travel long distances, he finally decided to hold the wedding at the most famous resort in City A - Qingxi Resort, which is also Jiang Chen's property.
"I lent you my plane last time, but you refused to lend me an island. You are so stingy."
Jiang Chen finally looked away from his phone: "That's where my wife and I held our wedding. How can I lend it to you?"
"I'm just borrowing it for a wedding and leaving after that. It's not like I won't return it to you."
Jiang Chen said: "That won't work either."
That small island was where he and Shen Mingyou got married. It had special meaning to them. Jiang Chen was unwilling to lend such a place to anyone to hold a wedding, not even his good friend Xiao Hang.
Xiao Hang clicked his tongue twice, "Okay, okay, I see now. You're not stingy, but you only become stingy when it comes to things related to Shen Mingyou."
Jiang Chen said as a matter of course: "It's good that you know."
Then he continued to stare at his phone.
Seeing that his eyes were glued to his phone, Xiao Hang thought for a moment and took out his own phone to take a look. Then he knew why Jiang Chen's face looked so bad just now.
Xiao Hang knew that Jiang Chen and Shen Mingyou got married for an arranged marriage. For families like theirs, arranged marriages were very common. After marriage, it was common for men and women to be physically together but spiritually apart and to go their separate ways. In the past, he thought that Jiang Chen was in the same situation.
It was not until recently, when Xiao Hang learned that Jiang Chen was distressed because his wife wanted to divorce him, that he realized that Jiang Chen and Shen Mingyou seemed to be different from those couples who seemed to be in harmony but were actually estranged after their marriage.
Xiao Hang, who had watched the episode of Jiang Chen on "Super Mom" several times and witnessed Jiang Chen bringing his wife to his airport for a date, and who thought he knew Jiang Chen well, was certain of one thing, which was -
Jiang Chen must love Shen Mingyou very much!
But Jiang Chen himself seemed unaware of this.
But Xiao Hang thought about it and felt that there was nothing strange about it. For someone like Jiang Chen who could ask such a question as "Why do couples have to be together every day", Xiao Hang didn't expect him to understand what love was.
Xiao Hang laughed to himself.
Jiang Chen has been married for five years and his child is already four years old, but he is still a novice in love who knows nothing about it. It's actually quite pitiful and funny to think about it.
Since Jiang Chen agreed to let Nian Nian be a flower girl at his wedding, he didn't mind giving a boost to his friend's love life.
Xiao Hang held up his phone, cleared his throat, and began to read out the comments of netizens on the trending searches:
[It would be great if Shen Mingyou and Huo Xingze were a couple. Sister-brother relationships are so sweet.]
[Shen Mingyou and Huo Xingze look like a perfect match. They are a perfect match.]
[Oh, it would be better if Sister Yuzu hadn’t gotten married.]
Jiang Chen threw his phone on the table with a thud and scolded, "Shut up."
The words that Xiao Hang read out were extremely irritating to Jiang Chen. He tugged at his tie irritably, but he couldn't get rid of the restlessness in his heart.
"Boss Jiang, do you feel like there's a fire burning in your heart right now? You want to go crazy and vent." Xiao Hang laughed. "You're jealous, you know that?"
"It's so funny that even President Jiang would get jealous and go crazy one day. Haha."
"..." Jiang Chen frowned and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with being jealous? Can't I be jealous?"
"Of course you can be jealous." Xiao Hang said with a smile, "But Jiang Chen, do you know what jealousy means?"
"You will only be jealous if you like someone. Don't you know by now that you like Shen Mingyou? That's why you are jealous of her and feel uneasy because of her."
Jiang Chen stared at Xiao Hang, and for a moment he didn't react to what Xiao Hang said.
Xiao Hang seemed to be saying that he liked Shen Mingyou.
Jiang Chen didn’t know what love was. He only knew that from the first time he saw Shen Mingyou, he felt that Shen Mingyou should be his wife.
At that time, Lingyu Capital and Zhao Group had an important cooperation. Zhao Zhenhai suddenly proposed the idea of marriage with the Jiang family, but Jiang Chen refused without thinking.
He knew that Zhao Zhenhai had a daughter named Zhao Qi. At that time, Zhao Qi seemed to be a senior in college and was interning at the Zhao Group. Because of her status as the chairman's daughter, when they were discussing cooperation with Lingyu Capital, the staff of the Zhao Group would often bring Zhao Qi to meetings at Lingyu Capital, so Jiang Chen had met Zhao Zhenhai's daughter several times.
Jiang Chen had no intention of getting married, so he immediately rejected Zhao Zhenhai's proposal of marriage.
Not long after, Jiang Chen met Shen Mingyou at a cocktail party. At that time, Shen Mingyou was still an actress in the entertainment industry, but her acting skills didn't seem to be very good. However, she was exceptionally beautiful, especially when she smiled. Just one smile and Jiang Chen remembered her.
After the cocktail party, Jiang Chen saw her again on a bench in the corner outside the hotel. She was sitting there alone, the beautiful smile on her face was gone, her high heels fell to the ground after being kicked around by her. She sat there with her head down, looking a little unhappy.
But it seemed that no matter whether she was happy or unhappy, she could always attract his attention.
He asked his assistant to inquire about Shen Mingyou's information, and soon Shen Mingyou's information was placed in front of him.
Jiang Chen then realized that Shen Mingyou was the real eldest daughter of the Zhao Group.
After knowing that Shen Mingyou was Zhao Zhenhai's biological daughter, Jiang Chen found Zhao Zhenhai and told him that he had suddenly changed his mind and agreed to marry into the Zhao Group.
So, what happened next was that Zhao Zhenhai arranged for him to meet Shen Mingyou.
The meeting went exceptionally smoothly. The two of them only had a meal and chatted for a while. Jiang Chen asked her if she was willing for a marriage between the two families. Shen Mingyou only thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Then within two days, the two of them went to get their marriage certificate, held their wedding, and soon they had Nian Nian.
After five years of marriage, Jiang Chen always thought that his marriage was very happy. He and Shen Mingyou had never quarreled, and they had a smart and lovely daughter. Jiang Chen had never thought about divorce, so when Shen Mingyou suddenly proposed to divorce him, he could hardly accept it at all.
During this time, he has been reflecting on himself and realized that he had made many mistakes in his marriage and he has been trying to correct them. He wants to win back Shen Mingyou, but he seems to have never thought about what the real reason is that he wants to win back Shen Mingyou.
Is it because Shen Mingyou is his wife and Nian Nian's mother, or is it because he doesn't want to change the status quo, he wants to maintain a stable marriage and have a happy family... These seem to be the reasons, but it seems to be more than just these.
Is it really because of what Xiao Hang said that he likes her?
"Love is something that is hard to predict. But if you want to know whether you like someone, it is actually very simple. For example, do you suddenly think of her from time to time? Do you feel boring without her in your life? Do you want to be close to her? Do you feel your heartbeat speed up when you face her? These are all verified methods."
"And..." Xiao Hang considered himself a master of relationships and was about to give a long speech, but Jiang Chen suddenly stood up from his chair, took the car keys and cell phone and strode out.
"..." Xiao Hang stopped him, "Where are you going?"
Jiang Chen walked and said, "Chasing my wife!"
"..." Xiao Hang felt like he had just shot himself in the foot. "I'm getting married soon. If you want to pursue my wife, wait until after my wedding. Also, Nian Nian is my flower girl, you can't take her away!"
Jiang Chen kept walking: "Is it more important for you to get married, or for me to chase after a wife?"
Xiao Hang: “…”
Jiang Chen drove all the way to Nian Nian's kindergarten.
Shen Mingyou went out of town to film a movie. Jiang Shaoping and Gu Jin stayed at home for two days and then returned to their respective jobs. Jiang Chen and Nian Nian, who stayed at home, became the left-behind father and daughter again.
Nian Nian was still in class. After asking for leave from the teacher, Jiang Chen carried Nian Nian out of the classroom and said, "Nian Nian, haven't you always wanted to skip school? Today, Daddy will take you to skip school."
Nian Nian was a little excited. This was the first time she had skipped school since she started kindergarten. Nian Nian asked, "Dad, what are you doing skipping school?"
Jiang Chen: "Go after Mom!"
"?" In Nian Nian's mind, she only needs to chase someone if they run away, so she asked in confusion, "Why should I chase my mother? Did she run away?"
Jiang Chen: “…”
