Chapter 68 Where can I leave the kiss so that it can’t be seen?
The controversy surrounding Su Li’s official announcement lasted for two days. As the trending searches disappeared, fewer and fewer people began to scold her.
Although she became popular once when "The Merchant Daughter of the Qin Family" was on the air, the entertainment industry is not short of people who create hot searches and occupy resources. In fact, not many people paid attention to her. It was mainly because she was linked to Chen Yusheng that more people saw her.
During this period, Chen Yusheng also called to comfort her. Su Li greeted him calmly and asked him how his civil service exam was going. Chen Yusheng said that the results would be known next year.
Su Li asked him curiously, "Aren't you already over 35? How are you still taking the civil service exam?"
Chen Yusheng chuckled smugly. "You don't understand that, do you? The age on my ID card is several years younger than my actual age. I'm just over 30."
Su Li, "..." Wow, he can do this. Anyway, Su Li doesn't understand it, so she can only wish him good luck in the civil service exam.
Then he asked about his relationship, "Now that you're home, aren't your family urging you to get married?"
Chen Yusheng gave a wry smile. "I'm pushing her! Of course I shouldn't! She's already found a marriage partner, she's just waiting for my approval."
Su Li heard this and congratulated him while eating grapes. "Then I wish you to find your beautiful lady soon."
Chen Yusheng didn't say anything. After a while, he asked, "Are you really getting married? Who are you marrying? You can't be marrying that old man again."
Su Li felt a little awkward when she heard him say that Zhou Jinbai was an old man. "Does he look old?"
Chen Yusheng was merciless. "I don't know why he's pretending to be young. He's already in his forties, but he still has a young man's hairstyle. Although his face doesn't look very old, the facts are there. I don't think he's young anymore, but he still thinks he is."
Su Li, “…”
Chen Yusheng asked, "So you really married him? Forced to marry him? Didn't you say you wanted to escape? You didn't escape?"
Su Li was in a complicated mood. "It's a long story. Anyway, I got married and was scolded for two days. I don't know what's so good about getting married, and they even brought you along. I'm speechless."
Chen Yusheng thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe those fans thought you and I were a couple. You didn't say who the man was, so it's normal for them to suspect that I was married to you. It's a pity that the person I like got married, but I wasn't the groom."
Su Li interrupted him, "Come on, shut up. You already have a fiancée, and you're still talking nonsense. I'm pregnant, stop flirting."
Chen Yusheng was shocked for a moment. "Pregnant? And with an old man? Su Li, your life is ruined by an old man. What's so good about him? He's not as handsome as me, not as funny as me, and most importantly, he's younger than him."
Su Li was a little speechless. "You can't be much younger, right? You're really good at flattering yourself, Brother Chen. But I think you have a good personality and will definitely have a bright future."
Chen Yusheng sighed, "Even if I have a bright future, I can't be as happy as having a beautiful woman in my arms. I really envy old men."
Su Li, “…”
Chen Yusheng added, "There's a film festival coming up soon, and I heard our drama has been nominated. I might go and find you then."
Su Li responded, "I heard about it too. Lao Zhang said he applied for several awards and asked me to go too."
Chen Yusheng replied, "Yes, this is probably the last award in my career, I have to go."
Su Li still felt regretful, "It's a pity that you're retiring, Brother Chen. You're really great and have always been a god-level actor in my heart."
Chen Yusheng laughed and said, "You are one of the few dedicated and hardworking actors I have ever met. It is indeed a pity that I have not worked with you in more dramas. I hope to see your works on the screen more often in the future."
Su Li felt mixed emotions, "I will try my best."
The night before the film festival, Su Li asked Zhou Jinbai if he wanted to go. In order not to cause trouble for Su Li, Zhou Jinbai said that he would not go and let Su Li have fun. He would let Jiang Wen accompany her.
Su Li looked at him for a long time and shook her head, "Even after getting married, it's still shameful. You, the wife, are really having a secret affair, Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Jinbai smiled nonchalantly, "What does it matter? It's enough for my wife to know that I'm going home. Besides, if I go, I'll just cause you trouble."
Seeing him say this, Su Li didn't insist, "Okay, Chen Yusheng is coming tomorrow anyway, and I have a red carpet partner."
This sentence successfully made Zhou Jinbai jealous. He pulled Su Li, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, over to him and narrowed his cold eyes slightly, "Chen Yusheng is coming?"
Su Li blinked at his eyes and said, "Yes, this is the last award in his career, right? It would be a shame if he didn't come."
Zhou Jinbai hadn't originally planned to go, but since Su Li had said that, he smiled and rubbed her lips with the tip of his thumb. "Since I'm free anyway, I'll go with you tomorrow. As for walking the red carpet, everyone else walks alone, so why can't you?"
Su Li snorted, "You won't go with me."
Zhou Jinbai actually thought about it, "I will definitely accompany you if I have the chance in the future. As for tomorrow, you are not allowed to go with Chen Yusheng."
Su Li tutted, "Stingy guy, walking on the red carpet makes me feel like I'm going to run away."
Zhou Jinbai was really worried, "I can trust you, but I can't trust men."
Su Li stopped arguing with him and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Zhou to accompany me tomorrow."
Zhou Jinbai pulled her to the bed and said, "Why bother? It's my duty to accompany my wife. But if there are many people, I will definitely have to treat everyone."
Su Li asked, "You treat?"
Zhou Jinbai shook his head. "That must be the organizer. If I go, they'll definitely take me out for dinner and introduce me to a lot of people. I usually don't go to events like this."
Su Li saw through the essence of the matter. "They're not introducing you to many people, they're trying to take money out of you. Don't be fooled."
Zhou Jinbai responded, "From now on, all the money I earn will be my wife and I'm jointly wealthy. I have to ask you before I can spend it."
Su Li was satisfied, "This is a good husband."
For a man like Zhou Jinbai, even if he has no money, a woman who marries him should be happy.
After all, many women are not greedy for men's money, but their consideration and love.
Su Li took the initiative to sit in his arms, and he naturally hugged her and let her rest her head on his shoulder. "Let's coax my wife to sleep. What story do you want to hear today?"
Su Li thought for a moment and said, "Today I want to hear Uncle Zhou's story about his love for his wife."
Zhou Jinbai nodded. "Of course, that's worth listening to. This story has to last a long time. Before Zhou Zexi was five years old, I held him and told him stories like this. How old is our Lizhi now? Does he still need me to tell him stories to put him to sleep?"
Su Li was relentless. "You're coaxing Zhou Zexi, not me. I also need Uncle Zhou to coax me to sleep. Why should he be coaxed by you until he grows up? Now that I'm grown up, Uncle Zhou has to coax me until I'm old."
Zhou Jinbai agreed, "Okay, I'll coax you."
It's like this almost every night. She can't sleep without Zhou Jinbai's arms.
Zhou Jinbai treated her like a child. He knew that her personality had become more volatile after she became pregnant, and her moods were not very stable. So he spoiled her as much as possible and did not let her have any negative emotions.
In fact, Su Li often wanted to ask Zhou Jinbai, doesn't he have a breakdown sometimes? Doesn't he need comfort?
Su Li had never seen Zhou Jinbai so broken down before, and was a little curious.
She closed her eyes and waited for a while, then suddenly asked, "Uncle Zhou, don't you feel bad when you take care of other people's emotions?"
Zhou Jinbai replied, "It's hard, especially when you're in a bad mood. But I know that if I were the same as you, there would be no future for us. Our time together wasn't long to begin with, and I've already spent most of my life with you. If I continue to argue with you, how long will it take? In this limited life, I should love you well. That's what I should do. I can't be angry with you. You're immature, and I can't be immature."
Su Li snorted, "Look, you already said I was ignorant."
Zhou Jinbai touched her face and said, "You are not naive at all. You did it knowing it was wrong to do so. You did it on purpose to piss me off. But in my eyes, even when you are angry you are very cute."
This is the truth. Su Li becomes puffy when she is angry, and looks like a little goldfish when she pouts. He can't help but want to laugh.
But most of the time, she wasn't really angry. He had experienced when she was really angry, so he knew that it was usually just a minor quarrel.
Su Li always fell asleep easily in his arms. After she fell asleep, Zhou Jinbai would put her on the pillow, cover her with a quilt, and then take a rest while he took care of his own things.
I got up early the next day, did my own hair, and also did a hairdo for Zhou Jinbai.
Many of the clothes he bought later were chosen by Su Li, so the styles were much younger and more novel.
She wanted to wear a deep V dress and asked Zhou Jinbai if it looked good on her. Zhou Jinbai simply stuffed the deep V dresses back into the closet in the cloakroom and picked out a halter-neck long dress that showed off her waist, but it left a large area of the back exposed.
Zhou Jinbai looked at her dress carefully and his face became more and more gloomy.
Su Li thought Zhou Jinbai was being old-fashioned. "What era is it now? You still have to wear formal clothes so conservatively? I have such a great figure, what's wrong with showing it off to others?"
Zhou Jinbai's heart almost jumped out of his chest when he saw her long white legs and plump breasts.
After choosing for a long time, I finally chose a French dress with a backless design but no exposed chest. However, the back was connected by several strings of pearls, and the hem was of unequal style, with the hem on the right side only reaching the thigh.
Zhou Jinbai said, "I'll make you a custom dress later. Look at what you bought. What am I going to see after showing it to others?"
Su Li tutted her tongue, "I'm not sure if you're being too conservative. Everyone else is wearing it, and the red carpet is a great opportunity for female stars to show off. If they dress well and have a unique red carpet look, they might even become a big star."
Zhou Jinbai said in a calm and cool voice, "You don't need to be famous anymore. You need to keep a low profile for the next year, future mother-to-be."
However, Su Li has a good figure and looks good in anything she wears. This dress makes her figure look graceful, and her white back seems to blend into the pearls.
Zhou Jinbai was adjusting her dress. She stood in front of the mirror. He bent down and kissed her from the back of her neck to her tailbone. Su Li was frightened. "Uncle Zhou, please don't, please don't, it would be embarrassing if it left a mark. Please don't kiss me."
How could Zhou Jinbai hold back? His wife was standing in front of him dressed so beautifully. He turned her around and pushed her in front of the dressing mirror. He squatted down and kissed her long legs all the way up.
Su Li's back was hurt by the pearl, "I'm going to be angry."
Zhou Jinbai hummed, "Are you angry? You won't let me leave the mark on my back. Then where do you want to leave it?"
Su Li, “…”
The tube top was already low-cut, so he stood up and pulled down the zipper under his armpits, and the tube top dress slowly moved down by itself.
He kissed her fair skin incessantly, sucking on it for a long time, leaving kiss marks near her gorgeous rose-red cheeks. Her skin was already white, so the marks were even more obvious.
Looking at the gorgeous mark blooming on her chest, Zhou Jinbai stood up and pulled her clothes in place, "This way it won't be seen, right?"
Su Li blushed slightly, leaning against the mirror and panting, "Crazy uncle."
Zhou Jinbai didn't refute her. After tidying up her clothes, he hugged her and said dirty words, "After these three months, I will let you look at yourself in the mirror and let me fuck you."
Su Li, “…”
Zhou Jinbai said, "Being fucked by a man while pregnant, Litchi."
Su Li's eyes were watery. "If you say that again, I'll pin you down right here."
Zhou Jinbai smiled and shook his head, "Not now, be obedient."
Su Li's limbs were numb from the excitement and she took a long time to recover.
While she was still flirting with Zhou Jinbai, Zhang Qingchi called and asked her to go to the company to get her hair done. Su Li said she would not go and she could do it herself. She looked down on the stylists in Zhang Qingchi's company.
Every time Zhang Qingchi’s artist makes a fool of himself on the red carpet, Su Li doesn’t want to lose face.
She told Zhang Qingchi to leave her alone, "I'll go with Lao Zhou later. We have our own stylist."
In fact, she is her own stylist.
Zhang Qingchi said, "This is no joke. If you mess up, you will be embarrassed on the trending searches."
Su Li said, "It doesn't matter. I'm pretty and I can walk the red carpet without makeup."
Zhang Qingchi, "..."
Su Li, "Thanks to my mom for giving me a great face. It's better to be ordinary than to be creative. I'm not competing with them, I just want to see if I can win an award."
Zhang Qingchi didn't say anything more after hearing this. "Others are trying to take advantage of this opportunity to become famous, but you are so indifferent."
Su Li glanced at Zhou Jinbai and said, "People are afraid of being famous, just like pigs are afraid of being fat. It's all about money. I'm not short of money. Thank you. I'm hanging up now."
Zhang Qingchi, "..."
After watching Su Li hang up the phone, Zhou Jinbai asked her if the chances of winning the prize were high. Su Li felt it was uncertain.
Chen Yusheng has a very high chance of winning the award, but forget about her. She is a newcomer in the entertainment industry who has only emerged in the last two years. It’s good enough for her to be nominated. It depends on how many times she will be nominated. It’s estimated that she will have to wait and see to win the award. After all, there are many seniors and geniuses in the industry.
She hadn't thought she'd win an award, but Zhang Qingchi sent her another message: "According to rumors, you might be the winner of the Best Actress award this time."
Su Li's heart skipped a beat: "Don't lie to me! If you don't win the prize, I'll pull out all your beard."
Zhang Qingchi replied: [I just received this news, I don’t know how true or false it is.]
It would be a lie to say that I'm not excited. Although this award is not of a high standard, the selection process is quite strict. Winning the award means that I have received recognition from some experts.
Su Li was a little nervous, so she took half an hour to put on beautiful makeup.
She was humming a song before leaving. Zhou Jinbai asked her, "Why are you in such a good mood?"
Su Li whispered to him, "I might win a prize today. Old Zhang said so, but I don't know if it's true or not."
Zhou Jinbai nodded in approval, "You are the best actress today."
Su Li kissed him and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhou."
Although they say they don’t care, no one is unhappy when they really get affirmation.
Su Li was also in a good mood. When she was in a good mood, she would dance and was restless in the car.
Zhou Jinbai took her there. The venue was in the International Center Building.
As soon as she got off the car, she saw many luxury cars parked. It was Su Li's first time to participate in such an event.
Still feeling a little nervous, Zhou Jinbai wanted to send her upstairs. Just when he was wondering if she would be recognized, Zhang Qingchi called.
He asked where Zhou Jinbai was, "We're west of the event hall. Are you there yet?"
Zhou Jinbai said, "We're here, come out and pick her up."
Zhang Qingchi asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhou Jinbai replied, "I'll go meet the organizer."
Zhang Qingchi came out following the sound and saw Su Li standing with Zhou Jinbai's arm in arm. He quickly went over and asked Zhou Jinbai to hide first.
"You two are really my ancestors. There are so many reporters here today, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Jinbai asked dissatisfiedly, "Why can't I come?"
Zhang Qingchi's eyes were meaningful. "You should know better than me."
Zhou Jinbai ignored him and asked him to take good care of Su Li.
After seeing Zhou Jinbai leave, Su Li asked Zhang Qingchi, "Who told you I would win the award?"
Zhang Qingchi whispered, "I heard everyone talking about it. I don't know who spread the news, but we'll know soon."
Su Li said "oh", but still felt unsure.
As soon as Chen Yusheng arrived, he looked for Su Li everywhere. Zhang Qingchi asked him to keep a distance from Su Li and not let Su Li become a hot topic because of him.
What's worse is that not long after he arrived, a tall woman also arrived and followed his footsteps.
The woman was dressed elegantly and gracefully, and it was obvious that she was not here to walk the red carpet.
Su Li was sitting in the lounge chatting with Chen Yusheng, watching a group of people competing with each other and looking at her from time to time.
Chen Yusheng was still smiling, and the woman stood next to him. Su Li felt oppressed, and when she raised her eyes, her gaze met the woman's.
Her expression remained calm, not even changing. The corners of her lips curved slightly as she asked Chen Yusheng, "Your friend? Could you introduce him to me?"
Chen Yusheng's face darkened and he didn't say anything. Su Li felt something was wrong and quickly stood up and smiled, "We're just friends, don't get me wrong. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."
She had just taken a few steps when she heard Chen Yusheng's voice asking impatiently, "Are you done yet? I said I don't like you, can you please stop following me?"
When Su Li heard this, she walked faster. She was wearing high heels and thought it was just a red carpet walk, so it would be fine.
She was walking in a hurry and almost bumped into someone. Just as she was about to say sorry, she looked up and met Zhou Zexi.
This guy has disappeared for a few days and there has been no news. Su Li thought he would never show up again, but she didn't expect to meet him in such a place.
Su Li's heart tightened, and she took two steps back and turned around to avoid him, but Zhou Zexi spanned his long legs to block her way.
Su Li was a little panicked, and her eyes were a little uneasy.
There are so many people here, she doesn't want anyone to know what's going on between her and Zhou Zexi.
Zhou Zexi looked at her face for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled. He leaned over slightly and approached Su Li, lowering his voice, "Long time no see, stepmother, the one I slept with? Zhou Jinbai has a unique taste. He likes women who have been slept with by his son."
Hearing this, Su Li raised her hand and slapped the man in the face without thinking.
Bang!
The crisp sound of applause attracted the attention of everyone present, and the voices of people talking gradually died down.
Including Chen Yusheng, everyone looked over at them.
Su Li suppressed her anger and lowered her voice, "Did you not brush your teeth before going out today? Your mouth stinks so bad? I'm telling you, your dad is here, don't get yourself killed."
