Chapter 162 The Coal Boss's Dark Moonlight 30
After a day of filming, Shen Xinran returned home and found Zhou Yaoqi lying leisurely on the sofa in the living room, while the movie playing on TV was still one of her previous films.
Shen Xinran felt a sudden sense of shame and asked Zhou Yaoqi, "When will you go back to your own home?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yaoqi slowly sat up on the sofa and said, "Wherever you are, that's my home."
Shen Xinran's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Are you relying on me?"
Zhou Yaoqi smiled and nodded, "Yes, you are my wife, and I plan to stay with you forever."
Shen Xinran: "..." I'm so angry, how can there be such a shameless person!
Zhou Yaoqi walked up to Shen Xinran and asked with a smile, "You've been filming for a week now, right? I'll come visit you tomorrow. What do you think?"
Without even thinking, Shen Xinran shook her head, "No. Everyone thinks I'm single, how can I introduce you if you come?"
Zhou Yaoqi's eyes were filled with resentment. "Can't you just tell the truth? I'm so shameless!"
Shen Xinran blinked and said innocently, "But no one knows that I'm married."
After Shen Xinran finished speaking, she went to the bathroom to take a shower, leaving Zhou Yaoqi alone to sulk on the sofa.
At the same time, Zhang Chen received a threatening letter from a paparazzi, claiming that if he did not pay a hush money of 5 million, the scandal of Zhao Shiqian being kept by a wealthy businessman would be made public.
Zhang Chen was furious and rushed to Shen Xinran's door with the letter. He knocked hard on the door, but it was a strange man who opened it.
Zhang Chen was stunned. He wondered if he had come to the wrong place and even checked the house number. However, he was not wrong. This was Zhao Shiqian's home!
He only heard the man ask him: "Are you looking for Shi Qian? She's still taking a shower. Come in if you have something to say."
Zhang Chen walked into the living room cautiously with a puzzled look in his mind, and sat down on the sofa awkwardly. "Excuse me, what is your relationship with Zhao Shiqian?"
Zhou Yaoqi said with a hint of pride, "We are a husband and wife relationship protected by law."
Zhang Chen finally felt relieved. As long as Zhao Shiqian wasn't being kept, everything would be easy.
As a broker, Zhang Chen's first lesson was to learn to remember the faces of important people. He quickly recognized Zhou Yaoqi as the real estate tycoon from Shanxi.
The anxiety in his heart dissipated instantly. As long as Zhou Yaoqi was willing to pay for the information, this matter would be easy to handle.
Zhang Chen took out the threatening letter from the paparazzi and sighed: "Shi Qian is now threatened by the paparazzi. If you don't give them five million, they will expose Shi Qian's scandal."
Zhou Yaoqi took the letter, his eyes flashing with sharpness: "I know about this matter."
Zhang Chen asked cautiously, "Do you need me to provide the paparazzi's contact information?"
Zhou Yaoqi chuckled and said, "No need. If they want to explode, let them explode."
Zhang Chen wanted to persuade her, "But Shiqian is currently in the rising stage of her career. Isn't this a bit bad?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Yaoqi interrupted him, "Leave this matter to me, you don't have to worry about it."
Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Oh, okay."
Zhou Yaoqi raised his head, glanced at Zhang Chen, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Zhang Chen shook his head, "No more."
Zhou Yaoqi pointed to the door and said, "Then please help me take out the trash on your way out."
Zhang Chen walked down the stairs carrying the garbage bag, and then he suddenly realized: Zhao Shiqian was actually married, and her partner was a real estate tycoon! No wonder Zhao Shiqian had rarely filmed in the past two years, her life was still carefree.
When Shen Xinran finished her shower and walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, Zhang Chen had been gone for nearly ten minutes.
While wiping her hair with a towel, she asked Zhou Yaoqi, "Did someone knock on the door just now?"
Zhou Yaoqi shook his head slightly, his tone calm and confident: "No, you may have heard it wrong."
Shen Xinran felt strange when she heard Zhou Yaoqi was so skilled, but she did not continue to ask questions. She just turned and walked to the dressing table and started to blow-dry her hair.
…
The rumor that Shen Xinran was being kept by someone suddenly broke out, spreading like wildfire, instantly attracting major media outlets to report on it, and Shen Xinran immediately made the headlines in the entertainment section.
But Shen Xinran's daily routine consisted of just going back and forth between the crew and home, so she didn't notice. She just felt that people around her looked at her strangely.
Until one day, an actor from the same group came to her with a newspaper and asked her, "Shi Qian, I heard that you are married, and your husband is a real estate developer?"
Shen Xinran was surprised, "How did you know?"
The colleague then handed her the newspaper, and Shen Xinran learned that Zhou Yaoqi had actually held a press conference without her knowledge.
Newspaper photos showed him holding two marriage certificates with a smug smile on his face.
Shen Xinran immediately called Zhou Yaoqi and asked, "Why didn't you discuss this press conference with me?"
Zhou Yaoqi's voice on the other end of the phone was calm and unhurried: "Don't you know that there were rumors flying around about you some time ago? This was all suggested by your agent."
Shen Xinran was half-believing and half-doubting: "Really?"
Zhou Yaoqi answered affirmatively: "Of course it is true."
The doubts in Shen Xinran's heart gradually dissipated.
All she heard was Zhou Yaoqi asking her, "Since our relationship is public, can I come visit the set?"
Shen Xinran answered without hesitation: "Come if you want, but please make sure not to disturb me while I'm working."
Zhou Yaoqi was grinning from ear to ear on the other end of the phone. He just wanted a status. What had he done wrong?
At this time, Zhang Chen at home suddenly sneezed several times, wondering in his heart: Who is teasing him behind his back!
…
Shen Xinran filmed this drama for two whole years. After it was finished, Zhou Yaoqi smiled at her and said, "You haven't had a rest for a long time. Let's go abroad for a few days!"
Shen Xinran nodded, "Sure."
The two then boarded a flight to Country M. After arriving at their destination, Zhou Yaoqi was responsible for collecting the checked luggage, while Shen Xinran waited quietly at the exit.
At this time, a foreigner with brown hair and blue eyes spoke to her in not very fluent Chinese: "Beautiful lady, is this your first time in Country M? If it is your first time here, I suggest you must go..."
Hearing the man introducing the customs and culture of Country M, Shen Xinran thought the man was a tour guide, so she smiled and nodded.
Who knew that after the man finished speaking, he smiled and asked her, "Beautiful lady, do you have a partner?"
A hint of teasing flashed in Shen Xinran's eyes, and he chuckled and asked, "What do you think?"
The man replied confidently, "You look so young, you must be single."
Shen Xinran was about to answer.
Zhou Yaoqi came over with the luggage and said with a faint smile: "We have the luggage, we can go to the hotel now."
The man frowned when he saw Zhou Yaoqi and asked, "Is this... your brother?"
Zhou Yaoqi's face suddenly turned dark.
Shen Xinran suppressed his laughter and said nothing.
