Chapter 3: The Female Supporting Character in the Control Group—Meets the Male and Female Leads
Ever since he drank his wife's love potion, Shen Yu has been somewhat confused, his mind filled with memories of what Ji Yaoyao looked like when he met her earlier today.
If someone had told Shen Yu before today that his wife, the eldest daughter of the Ji family, would be so clingy to him after their marriage, Shen Yu would have simply smiled and brushed it off.
Miss Ji has always maintained a cold and distant image in public, and she was no exception with him, so there was no question of their current sweet relationship.
Shen Yu has never been a carefree person. As the head of the Shen family, he manages countless assets. Under his leadership, the Shen family has developed even more than before. No one can underestimate him, whether in terms of ability or emotional intelligence.
He could clearly sense something was off about his newlywed wife's changes, but whatever the reason, he didn't want to think about it anymore. Life is never static, let alone people.

Red carpets lined every corridor of the hotel, fresh bouquets of various colors were everywhere, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers filled the air, creating an atmosphere of happiness and warmth.
His large, strong hand held her fair, soft hand with a firm yet relaxed grip, neither too tight to hurt her nor too loose to allow their clasped hands to be easily separated.
Yao Yao looked down at those big hands, then looked up at the man who was half a step ahead of her. She was very satisfied with what she saw, and a sweet smile appeared on her delicate face.
To outsiders, the newlyweds walking towards them were a perfect match, a handsome groom and a beautiful bride, their happy smiles were undeniable.
When toasting, the elders were toasted first. The relatives and elders at the main table didn't make things difficult for the young couple, and they didn't drink much.
Yao Yao immediately noticed that the cup contained warm water. After drinking it, she subtly leaned towards Chen Yu. The smell of alcohol was not strong, so she figured her words in the changing room had worked. She was completely relieved. Now, just thinking about what was going to happen that night, Yao Yao's heart was burning with excitement.
As the leader of the Shen family, Shen Yu was someone that people with sense would not dare to make things difficult for. The toast was quickly extended to the friends' table, where all the guests were familiar brothers and their respective partners.
At this moment, these brothers seized the opportunity and were not going to let Shen Yu go easily. Friends are meant to be tricked, and the men started to cheer.
"Brother Yu, sister-in-law, I wish you a long and happy marriage and many children. I'll drink this first!" He came up with a bold move and downed the entire glass of wine in one gulp.
Shen Yu maintained his outward composure, looking at his group of friends at the table, and could only smile as he downed his full glass of wine.
Seeing this, Yao Yao became a little anxious and subtly pinched the inside of Shen Yu's arm. Shen Yu understood immediately.
Ignoring the teasing from the crowd, Shen Yu leaned down and whispered in Yao Yao's ear, his voice deep and captivating: "Wife, don't worry, this time the wine glasses are filled with warm water."
With a "whoosh," Yao Yao's face turned bright red, and her magnetic voice still lingered in my ears for a long time.
Wow! Brother Yu has fallen for him!
"Sister-in-law, you truly deserve to be called the most beautiful woman in Shanghai. Look how worried Young Master Shen is. Come on, let's just get the groom drunk today!"
...
Everyone cheered and toasted each other until they reached the seats where the male and female leads were sitting.
Yao Yao sized up the female lead who was supposed to be her future husband's matchmaker. She was quite cute, but Yao Yao didn't like her. She disliked anyone who wanted to break her and her husband up!
Then look at the male lead next to her, hmm... he's too cold, not as good-looking as her husband! The male lead also wants to play matchmaker for her husband, because she hates people who have no boundaries!
The system had already told Yao Yao that she absolutely shouldn't get into conflict with the male and female leads unless absolutely necessary, because they had the so-called "protagonist halo." Yao Yao wouldn't intentionally provoke the male and female leads; she just wanted to enjoy her intimate life with her husband.
Seeing Shen Yu and Ji Yaoyao's loving relationship, Zhao Yan was genuinely happy for him: "Brother Yu, I didn't expect you to be the first among our group of brothers to get married. I wish you and your wife a long and happy marriage and many children! I'll drink this, you can do as you please, but we can't let tonight's important event be delayed!"
After saying that, Zhao Yan decisively finished his full glass of wine. The others at the table, hearing this, started to jeer!
Shen Yu's usually composed expression cracked for a moment, but he quickly picked up his wine glass to cover his embarrassment: "You just wait!"
Hearing the male lead's teasing words struck a chord with Yao Yao, and she decided to stop disliking him for now, after all, he was a very perceptive guy!
"Mr. Shen, Ms. Ji, congratulations on your marriage! May you be forever united in love!" Chen Ke offered her blessings after Zhao Yan finished his drink.
Shen Yu raised his glass and said, "Thank you."
Yao Yao also raised her glass, winking playfully, "Thank you, Miss Chen. Looking forward to drinking your and Mr. Zhao's wedding wine!"
Chen Ke was taken aback, unsure if there was any deeper meaning behind the other person's words, and could only give an awkward smile: "You're welcome."
Shen Yu gently patted Yao Yao's waist, signaling his wife to stop talking. After all, everyone here knew that Zhao Yan's parents were strongly opposed to his marriage with Chen Ke, and it wouldn't be easy for them to attend their wedding.
Yao Yao didn't care about Shen Yu. She looked up and glared at Shen Yu, indicating that she was very angry!
Shen Yu smiled indulgently. His wife was easy to understand; he could tell what was on her mind just by looking at her expression. She was unhappy that Chen Ke called her Miss Ji, and she was also angry at himself for giving her that hint earlier.
Ignoring the stares of others, Shen Yu deftly rubbed the spot he had just slapped with his large hand, as if to appease them.
Yao Yao was very accommodating, giving a soft hum to indicate that the incident was over.

Round after round of toasts, even if it wasn't alcohol, was physically exhausting, especially for Yaoyao, who was wearing high heels and could barely stand. Eventually, she could only lean on Chenyu's body to relieve the strain on her legs.
"Getting married is so tiring, I don't want to get married again!" After the toasting ceremony, Shen Yu carried Yao Yao to the lounge. Yao Yao wrapped her arms around Shen Yu's neck, nestled in his arms, and said coquettishly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu's expression changed instantly, and he felt a pang of guilt. He said, word by word, "Besides me, you will never have the chance to marry anyone else!"
Yao Yao realized that her words were ambiguous, and hearing Shen Yu's jealous tone, she giggled: "Yes, yes! Ji Yao Yao can only marry Shen Yu, and Shen Yu can only marry Ji Yao Yao!"
Shen Yu's expression instantly brightened, and he nodded in satisfaction, his face beaming with contentment. If there were any outsiders present at that moment, hearing these childish words, their expressions would undoubtedly be quite speechless.
Suddenly remembering something, Yao Yao gently tugged at Chen Yu's left ear with her slender hand and asked in a spoiled manner, "If our relationship sours in the future and our marriage is on the verge of collapse, and someone wants to pull you out of the grave of marriage, would you agree?"
Shen Yu: "..."
Yao Yao: "Speak!"
Seeing Yao Yao's earnest expression, Shen Yu also answered earnestly: "Yao Yao, I will cherish our relationship and I promise that our marriage will not have any problems in the future. Don't worry. Even if problems do arise, I will try my best to change and maintain it, unless one day you say you want to leave first, but I will not let that day come!"
