Chapter 7 The Husband's Appearance, the Wife...
Chapter 7
Chu Xingli raised her arm and manually stopped her cousin from making a racket.
Luo Xiaoran is still sleeping in his room; we shouldn't wake him up.
"When did you marry him?" Nie Zian shook off his brother's hand like a dog shaking its head.
Chu Xingli shook her head: "I don't know."
Nie Zi'an scoffed, "If you don't want to talk, just say so! Why are you still trying to brush me off?"
Chu Xingli said innocently, "I really don't know, I have amnesia."
"Wow, are you serious? You can even come up with this excuse just because you don't want to tell me?"
Since her cousin didn't believe her, Chu Xingli didn't bother to explain further and simply laughed it off.
After all, so far, his amnesia has been specifically targeting Luo Xiaoran and has not had any impact on other people in his life.
"Then why didn't you tell me when I came in that you married Luo Xiaoran?" Nie Zian remained fixated on this question.
Chu Xingli's eyes were sincere: "You didn't ask either."
Nie Zian nearly choked on his own blood: "..."
Who would have thought that her younger brother could marry someone like Luo Xiaoran so quietly!
Nie Zi'an only regretted that he hadn't heard about this sooner: "Why didn't my second aunt tell me?"
Chu Xingli knew why her mother hadn't told her cousin.
After experiencing those things, Nie Zi'an became pessimistic and locked himself in his room, spending his days in tears and ignoring everyone. Later, he suffered from severe depression and stayed abroad to recuperate.
Over time, no one dared to mention words like "affection" or "love" in front of him, for fear of touching his sore spot.
Even after Chu Xingli's car accident, Ye Huihui specifically instructed her eldest sister not to tell Nie Zian, so as not to cause him mental stress due to worry about Chu Xingli.
Seeing Chu Xingli's thoughtful expression, Nie Zian understood and tugged at Chu Xingli's hand: "I am really grateful to everyone for your understanding."
Chu Xingli grasped Nie Zian's hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You did nothing wrong in this matter."
It was Qiao Manyun's betrayal and Bao Keming's interference that made Nie Zi'an wrong.
Nie Zian lowered his head dejectedly: "It's because I can't get erectile dysfunction. I have varicocele and asthenospermia."
Over the years, he has become accustomed to this kind of self-deception.
"Brother, don't worry," Chu Xingli patted his cousin's shoulder and comforted him, "I will definitely avenge you."
"Even if, even if she gets pregnant with someone else's child after divorcing me... that would be fine too." Nie Zian cried uncontrollably, sobbing incessantly.
The two brothers sat on the sofa, embracing each other. The older brother was in tears, while the younger brother spoke gently. A clingy Siamese cat sat between them.
Just then, the bedroom door facing the living room was pulled open from the inside.
Still feeling dizzy and unwell, Luo Xiaoran stood at the door, rubbing the back of his neck, looking at the two brothers sitting on the sofa, embracing each other in astonishment.
Luo Xiaoran: "..."
Chu Xingli: "..."
Nie Zi'an: "?!!"
Luo Xiaoran was awakened by Nie Zian's scream.
When I woke up, I saw the alcohol and pills on the bedside table to cool me down, and a warm feeling rose in my heart.
After glancing at the time, I realized I should leave, otherwise I might offend Chu Xingli.
As he got dressed and walked to the bedroom door, he heard low sobbing outside. Like Chu Xingli, he remembered the humiliation of his cousin being cuckolded, and he would certainly not let that couple get away with it.
With tears still on her face, Nie Zi'an was caught off guard when she saw the actor she had always dreamed of meeting. She sat on the sofa, completely stunned, watching her younger brother and Luo Xiaoran exchange words in a normal tone.
Someone please save him.
...With this kind of life configuration, if you flip through a few pages of a wish-fulfillment novel, you'd probably only say something like, "This isn't even satisfying."
Chu Xingli immediately checked Luo Xiaoran's complexion and condition: "Are you feeling better?"
"Much better," Luo Xiaoran's voice was still a little hoarse. He squatted down with his back to Chu Xingli to pour freeze-dried food for the cat. "Xiang Yan sent me the schedule and process. Recording will start in three days."
Chu Xingli responded.
"I'm going back now. Take a good rest these next few days and don't overwork yourself." Luo Xiaoran put on his mask, said goodbye to Chu Xingli and his cousin, and left.

Chu Xingli went to bed early and got up early for three days, finally welcoming the recording of the program.
Luo Xiaoran sent him the specific recording location, and Chu Xingli drove directly to the scene, entering the villa courtyard where the production team had already set up cameras. He basically started the live broadcast as soon as he got out of the car.
The black Brabus was tall and imposing. As Chu Xingli opened the car door, he casually picked up the phone that he had tossed onto the passenger seat.
Her slender figure, accentuated by the slightly tilted angle, evokes a sense of awe.
Chu Xingli thought that it was not appropriate to dress too formally for participating in a variety show recording, so he chose a casual suit today.
The haute couture craftsmanship resulted in an exceptionally well-tailored suit, perfectly showcasing Chu Xingli's impeccable waistline.
His skin was fair, and his light purple silk shirt accentuated his noble air to the extreme.
Purple...it really has a lot of charm.
[Help! These are red-soled shoes, they're so hot, I love them so much!]
[I'd heard before that Chen Xuanqi wanted to retire from the entertainment industry and get married, could it be this guy? If so, I'd marry him too o(╥﹏╥)o]
【Ahhh, I'd marry him even if he paid me, he's so handsome!】
Why hasn't this level of handsomeness been discovered and debuted? I'm going to sue the Chinese entertainment industry!
Upon seeing Chu Xingli arrive, the assistant director of the program immediately went to greet her.
"Hello, am I not late?" Business people really value time.
"How could this be, how could this be, Xiao Chu..." The assistant director grasped Chu Xingli's outstretched hand, his emotions surging even more, barely managing to swallow back the title of "Little President Chu," "Teacher Chu has such a strong sense of time, it's still early before the recording time, Teacher Zhu has already gone upstairs to practice the piano, hahaha."
The guests who had arrived earlier came out with the assistant director to welcome Chu Xingli.
Chu Xingli had learned some things during her studies over the past few days.
The program "Starting Over" invited five couples facing divorce or breakup.
Besides Qiao Manyun and Bao Keming, audiences also know that actress Lu Yunxin and actor Zhou Maidong are a real-life couple.
The remaining three groups were clever ideas that the production team racked their brains to come up with in order to increase interaction.
That is, the other six people sit in front of the camera and interact with the audience in the live broadcast room through a quiz with prizes. If they guess correctly which two people are a couple, they will receive a large red envelope reward.
Therefore, before all members of the three unknown groups have arrived, these six people cannot wear microphones when communicating, so as to prevent the audience from deciphering their secrets in advance.
Luo Xiaoran also drove himself here, wearing his usual Balenciaga hoodie and carrying a backpack in a low-key manner.
Looking up, Chu Xingli saw Chen Xuanqi, a young actress known for her hot and wild personality, sitting to his left, and Zhao Anyu, a popular celebrity whose sexual orientation was unclear, leaning against him to his right. The three of them were chatting and laughing happily.
Luo Xiaoran's face instantly darkened.
[He's here! Ranzi is here!]
[The husband's good looks are the wife's glory; Ranzi is still consistently handsome.]
With this guy's acting skills, it'll probably be very difficult for everyone to guess who his lover is.
Chu Xingli actually spotted Luo Xiaoran at a glance, so she stopped chatting idly with Chen Xuanqi and Zhao Anyu.
He himself didn't realize that his eyes lit up unconsciously the moment he saw Luo Xiaoran.
It was as if seeing Luo Xiaoran gave him peace of mind.
Luo Xiaoran didn't miss a thing and took it all in.
However, due to the show's unique approach, which aimed to have the audience guess which two people were a couple, Chu Xingli was temporarily unable to speak to Luo Xiaoran.
However, sensible viewers have already started shipping couples themselves.
【Wow! Look what I've found! It seems like the perfect CP for Ranzi has appeared!】
[Those who love double A are in luck! If these two were a couple, they would be a match made in heaven, hahaha]
Among the people present, this guy really does seem handsome enough to be on the same level as Ranzi.
Just as the comments section was buzzing with discussion, two more cars drove into the courtyard.
Chu Xingli glanced outside, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.
A couple who love to show off and have a penchant for cheating have arrived.
Actress Lu Yunxin is also a gossip lover. Whether she's filming or not, she's always on her phone, tapping away in her girlfriends' group chat, afraid of missing out on any juicy gossip.
"Actually, the two of them had some conflicts in private." The actress, unable to stay still, covered her mouth with her hand and whispered to the actor.
However, she forgot that she had already put on her microphone. Before the movie star could hear it clearly, the viewers in the live stream heard it clearly and asked for more details in the comments.
"Now, let's invite all the teachers to begin their self-introductions." The assistant director cued the flow of the event, instructing staff to go up and put microphones on the guests.
The names of the award-winning actor and actress are household names. Bao Keming and Qiao Manyun do so much marketing that they don't need to introduce themselves to anyone.
Chu Xingli has always been very open and generous, and besides, he was the only non-celebrity present who had never appeared on camera before.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chu Xingli."
Bao Keming certainly knew Chu Xingli, and the two did indeed have a feud.
Therefore, as an heir to a business empire, he naturally wanted to outdo Chu Xingli in this situation.
"Chu?" Bao Keming chuckled, feigning a joke but actually being sarcastic. "Is it the 'Chu' in 'surrounded by enemies on all sides'?"
Chu Xingli's smile didn't reach her eyes: "It's the 'Chu' in 'Savings Bank'."
Ahhh, so cool!
Look me in the eye, you little brat!
Doesn't the government encourage marriage? That's the one I want.
[Awesome! Savings bank savings, hahaha, this is so cool!]
[Oh my god, I can already picture him stepping on me with his red-soled shoes (just kidding)]
