Chapter 56 [Update 1 and 2]
She had never wanted to scold Huo Yuyan so much before.
Arriving at the premiere venue, she sneered, "Leave your head alone."
The driver opened the car door for her attentively. Shen Yuntang turned around and got out of the car without even looking at him.
Huo Yuyan stared at her back in a daze.
This... this doesn't mean you don't even want to keep the hundred dollars.
Well, then...
Huo Yuyan was still trying to fight for himself, but Shen Yuntang had already walked away, so he quickly opened the door and got out of the car, straightening his clothes and following after him.
"Mr. Huo, you are here?"
"Mr. Huo, are you here so early?"
When someone greeted him along the way, he just nodded hastily. He wanted to run faster, but as more and more people came, he didn't want to look so embarrassed, so he had to slow down and walk forward steadily like a mature business person, except that his steps were twice as fast as those of others.
"Mr. Huo?"
Gu Lan also saw him and greeted him, "You didn't come with Miss Shen, right? She just went in, in row 1 of area A."
Huo Yuyan: "...Thank you."
He also didn't want to explain that he came together, as that would seem even more embarrassing.
As he strode into the hall, he saw Shen Yuntang at a glance.
What she wore today was quite eye-catching. Maybe it wasn’t necessarily her outfit that was eye-catching, it was just her looks that were eye-catching.
Shen Yuntang was chatting with the person next to him.
However, it seemed that the person next to her was being courteous, and she responded with a few perfunctory words impatiently.
Huo Yuyan paused.
Suddenly I felt a little puzzled.
According to Shen Yuntang's personality, if someone approached her, she would be lucky if she didn't say anything back. At worst, she would just turn a cold face and ignore him. Why is she in such a good mood today? She even said a few perfunctory words when it was obvious that she was impatient?
Who is this person?
Huo Yuyan became alert.
He paused, then calmly walked behind them and said politely, "Excuse me, I was just sitting here."
The guy who was chatting him up raised his head and asked curiously, "You're sitting here?"
Seeing Huo Yuyan nodded, the guy took the nameplate on the table and showed it to him, "This name is written by me, arranged in pinyin."
He saw that the surname Su and Shen both started with S.
Looking around again, I saw that the name tag starting with H was at least seven or eight seats away from me.
Huo Yuyan: "..."
What kind of a shitty premiere is this where they reserve seats by name? Can't they just let people who are close to each other sit together?
Shen Yuntang seemed to sneer and didn't even raise his head to look at him.
Huo Yuyan was extremely humiliated. He went to his seat with hatred, but he felt something was wrong as soon as he sat down. He felt that the chair was uncomfortable and the mineral water tasted bad. He unscrewed the lid and then screwed it back.
Looking at that guy again, it seemed that he and Shen Yuntang had found some common topic. They became more and more excited as they talked, and even started gesticulating.
What's even worse is.
Shen Yuntang actually raised his head to watch him speak, and seemed to be listening.
Huo Yuyan's breath got stuck in his chest.
He was so unhappy that he thought of practicing a set of military boxing.
Why does this Pu Xin man do this?
He had never been listened to so seriously by Shen Yuntang before.
Huo Yuyan suddenly stood up and left the screening room where people were whispering.
The producer was bragging to others about how much attention his movie had received and how many pre-sale copies had been sold. When he was talking about the expected box office of at least 1.5 billion, he saw Huo Yuyan walking straight towards him.
He was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Huo, distinguished guest! It's about to start, haven't you gone in yet?"
Huo Yuyan's hand slipped from his hand perfunctorily and asked, "How are your seats arranged? Can you change them for me?"
The other party was stunned and said, "Ah, ah, of course you can. Mr. Huo, you are the largest investor and you have the final say. Even if you can sit in front of the big screen and arrange a massage chair alone, it's fine."
Huo Yuyan felt relieved and said, "Move me to the middle seat, next to Mr. Shen. I think the view is pretty good."
"No problem, no problem. I'll arrange it right away."
When Huo Yuyan returned to the screening room with satisfaction, he saw the staff put his name tag on the left side of Shen Yuntang.
And that Pu Xin man was still on her right.
Huo Yuyan's confident smile collapsed again.
This is indeed the middle seat.
The one in the middle with even-numbered seats on both the left and right sides.
He kept quiet for a moment with his jaw clenched, then took a big step forward and sat down next to Shen Yuntang with swift movements. After sitting down, he arrogantly spread his legs and crossed his fingers, expanding his space to the maximum, even bumping into Shen Yuntang's knees.
But even with such an obvious physical collision, Shen Yuntang didn't even turn around to look at him.
Huo Yuyan's heart was completely hanging in the air.
What happened to Shen Yuntang today? Based on his understanding of her, at the very least he had to scold him and tell him to get out and stop getting in the way.
He was not afraid that Shen Yuntang would scold him too harshly, but he was afraid that she would not show any emotion. If she scolded him, he would know how to deal with it, but what was going on now? She just ignored him? He couldn't even find a reason to apologize.
Huo Yuyan fell into deep self-doubt.
He couldn't help but think of a famous saying.
Things like love can easily make people feel inferior.
Huo Yuyan agreed deeply with this.
The movie started with him in agony and the two people beside him chatting happily. The ordinary man seemed to know the content of the movie very well and tried to spoil it for Shen Yuntang. As soon as he opened his mouth, Huo Yuyan said abruptly: "Spoiler dog, get out."
Pu Xinnan stopped talking.
He asked, “Who are you scolding?”
"I will scold anyone who spoils the movie. Your rotten mouth has ruined my movie-watching experience."
Just as Pu Xinnan was trying to make some noise, he noticed the name and company written on his name tag. He fell silent for a moment and sat back down.
He had an argument with Pu Xinnan, but Shen Yuntang still didn't look at him.
Huo Yuyan almost suspected that someone had cast a spell on him and made him invisible in Shen Yuntang's world.
Although the movie was highly praised by him at first, he seems just so-so now. He dislikes everyone he sees, especially the green tea man and mistress in the movie. It's simply too much. Who could have acted so realistically that he almost clenched his fists.
What’s even more infuriating is that the gift the heroine casually gave to the green tea guy was taken by him as evidence of their love and he showed off in front of the heroine’s boyfriend.
In order to implant gg, the gift is still extraordinary perfume.
No one in the world has a stronger sense of immersion than him.
The moment he saw the hero and the heroine break up, Huo Yuyan was completely devastated.
He couldn't help it.
"This movie is so infuriating. How can such a villain be allowed to succeed? Don't you think so, Mr. Shen?" Huo Yuyan took a deep breath and took the initiative to touch Shen Yuntang's arm.
If you ignore him, he will take the initiative to bring up the topic. Who can't bow his head to this?
But his bowing did not win Shen Yuntang's sympathy.
Shen Yuntang gently withdrew his arm.
Huo Yuyan's mentality collapsed.
He looked at his elbow, then at the distance between him and Shen Yuntang, and then at her calm expression. For a moment, he felt that the ex-boyfriend in the movie was his future.
Why is this?
Is it because he wants pocket money?
Isn't this a reasonable demand? Is Shen Yuntang unhappy?
This, this is too dictatorial...his father still has some private money!
Huo Yuyan was caught in a self-struggle for a while, caught in a dilemma between keeping his bottom line and giving in to her, and kept wavering.
How about asking her why she was angry? Would Shen Yuntang answer? If it wasn't because of the pocket money, he would never be able to figure it out.
Huo Yuyan didn't want to continue fighting with her.
If Shen Yuntang ignored him, he would feel anxious and have wild thoughts. He simply couldn't stand Shen Yuntang ignoring him.
He had never felt so panicked and insecure in his entire life. Although Shen Yuntang had only ignored him for an hour, he had already deeply felt the pain of the cold war.
Will her anger subside?
What if Shen Yuntang keeps ignoring him?
She is successful in her career but has a bad temper. What if she gets unhappy and wants to divorce him?
Will anyone support him? I guess his mother, father, and grandfather wouldn't comfort him, but would think Shen Yuntang did a great job.
Even his younger brother values this sister more than his brother.
There were people with wicked ambitions outside, and the foundation of the family was still so unstable. He had no weight in Shen Yuntang's eyes. She could get close to him when she wanted, or distance herself from him when she wanted. The thing that had such a big impact on his emotions was just a small matter that could not cause any fluctuations in her eyes.
Huo Yuyan felt aggrieved again, with bitterness surging in his heart.
What evil has he committed?
Especially when he thought about the high possibility that Shen Yuntang was getting divorced, he became more and more anxious.
Originally he thought that there was a long time to go, and since they were already married, there was nothing to be afraid of and he could just take things slow.
But now he has nothing that can keep Shen Yuntang in this marriage.
She never wanted to be Mrs. Huo, she has always been Miss Shen with a bad temper.
He didn't mean to want her to use his last name, he just felt uncomfortable that Shen Yuntang had no intention of accepting him at all.
Huo Yuyan didn't know why he suddenly became so sentimental. Because Shen Yuntang ignored him, he even thought so far. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and his eyes became red.
He raised the heel of his hand to wipe his eyes. Why did he have to pretend to be calm, steady and mature in such occasions?
He feels so wronged.
The movie ended, and everyone started to applaud. Shen Yuntang stood up and prepared to leave. Huo Yuyan paused, then stood up as well, wiping his eyes while clapping. He wanted to follow her out to talk, but just as he walked into the corridor, he suddenly saw Shen Yuntang pick up her phone, which had an incoming call.
Huo Yuyan was sharp-eyed and saw that it was Xie Yunting.
…
Why is this guy so persistent? Is he sick? Contacting other people's wives every day? What kind of quality is this?
Anger and fear filled his chest in an instant. Seeing Shen Yuntang was about to answer the phone, Huo Yuyan suddenly became brave.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Yuntang's wrist.
"No."
He gambled with his courage and said stubbornly, "He has a wolfish ambition and is worthy of death. I cannot accept him."
The Pu Xin man who was just about to continue chatting with Shen Yuntang was stunned when he saw them arguing with each other. Who is this person? Why can't he accept the call?
He said dissatisfiedly: "Boss Huo, please stop interfering in Boss Shen's affairs. People who know that you have a crush on Boss Shen would think you are someone else..."
——"I am her husband."
After throwing everything away, Huo Yuyan became surprisingly calm. He sneered and interrupted Pu Xinnan, "It's none of your business. Get out of here."
He grabbed Shen Yuntang and walked away.
Pu Xinnan: “???”
Huo Yuyan was so emotional that he walked for a while before realizing that Shen Yuntang hadn't spoken to him or responded at all, like a fake person.
He paused and took a deep, hard breath.
My heart feels so painful that it might explode.
Why?
Why did you suddenly ignore him? What did he do wrong? He can change, it's not like he won't change, why don't you tell him anything and treat him like this?
Huo Yuyan's eyes were about to turn red again when he thought about it, but he tried his best to hold it back. He grabbed Shen Yuntang's hand unconsciously with force and pulled her in front of him. He was about to say a few harsh words, but found that he was crying as soon as he opened his mouth.
This is so cruel.
Huo Yuyan was so angry that he was shaking. After holding back for so long, he could only utter these words: "Shen Yuntang, you bastard."
"Why do you ignore me? You cold-blooded scumbag..."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Shen Yuntang finally paid attention to him. Although his tone was very bad, Huo Yuyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yuntang continued: "Weren't we originally in a marriage agreement? Didn't you do the same to me?"
Huo Yuyan opened his mouth, his mind went blank for a moment, and he wanted to explain, but he couldn't find any evidence.
It seemed that in his distant memory, he had actually been cold to Shen Yuntang.
Just so coldly and ruthlessly, he said with a straight face, "I'm warning you, don't try to get involved in my life."
How could he say such a thing? It's not his character.
Even though he was impatient with Shen Yuntang at that time, he would tell her the rules of marital relationship in detail and ask her to abide by them just like she did with the code of conduct for primary and secondary school students when she was in school.
I would earnestly tell her what she has already gained in her current life and why she should ask for more.
The only thing he won't do is give her the cold shoulder.
He is a person who likes to make everything clear, and is definitely not a silent person.
When Shen Yuntang pressed him to ask if he liked her, it only took him half a minute to confess.
When asked about his relationship with Shen Yunhe, he immediately went to clarify the rumors.
Maybe he didn't like Shen Yuntang that much at that time, but he just didn't like seeing others making up rumors about him and creating a messy and fickle image of himself.
But what was the reason for him to warn Shen Yuntang at that time? It was because of the rumor that he was having an affair, and Shen Yuntang pressed him to ask if it was true.
He actually gave her that kind of reply.
This is not like him.
Huo Yuyan stopped in a daze.
Shen Yuntang raised his chin and looked at him mockingly.
"Mr. Huo, you won't forget that you are a cold and elite person, right?"
"How did you become what you are now?"
How did he become what he is now?
Why is there such a big difference between him now and his past self? What he did before is so unfamiliar in his mind, as if it was just a memory that was forcibly instilled into him, rather than a real experience.
Why?
Is that his life?
…
Huo Yuyan was silent for a while, and finally raised his head blankly.
"Have I changed?" he said.
"You've become very big." Shen Yuntang said with a cold face.
"The world has changed too?" Huo Yuyan murmured.
Why does he have such brainless subordinates, why are there so many outrageous plots around him, why are there always people spreading rumors about him, why can such a brainless person like Wen Yanyan still exist, and why is there no impression in his memory that he saved her life.
It seems that before Shen Yuntang changed, he had always maintained the persona of a cold and elite, existing like a tool and a label.
After Shen Yuntang appeared.
His settings no longer work.
He returned to the route he was supposed to take.
Become the person you were supposed to be.
Huo Yuyan's mind was filled with mixed feelings.
"...Do I really exist?" he asked absentmindedly.
Shen Yuntang stared at him for a long time.
After a long while, he finally laughed.
"You are." She said, "I am sure that this world is the real world, but it was tampered with and turned into a book. The moment the book was written, everyone was given a personality and must live according to the personality."
"Until something triggered it."
"The restrictions began to loosen, and characters broke free of their personalities one after another and returned to their original trajectories. In the eyes of those who broke free, those who did not break free would seem very outrageous."
She said, "Congratulations on breaking free of your persona and becoming the male protagonist."
Huo Yuyan was stunned for a long time.
At the same time as these words were echoing in his mind, what was stirring was—Shen Yuntang was talking to him again?
Smiled at him.
He knew that he should immediately think about the amount of information in this passage, feel horrified and then further explore the truth, but he just looked at Shen Yuntang and stopped, not knowing what to say.
His brain seemed to finally work.
"So," Huo Yuyan moved his throat, still a little dazed, "You want me to figure this out?"
Shen Yuntang raised his eyebrows, "What else?"
Otherwise, why would she listen to that common man's nagging all night long, making her so angry that she wanted to twist his head off.
She made such a great sacrifice, but Huo Yuyan didn't even hurry to thank her.
Huo Yuyan asked again: "Where's Xie Yunting's phone number?"
"It was Huo Xihuai who called." Shen Yuntang raised his phone, "Change his note."
He fell into a long silence.
He knew that he should ask Huo Xihuai if he had broken free from his role, when did you know about it, and what was going on with the world becoming a book, but his mind was already occupied by another bigger question.
"So you..." Huo Yuyan paused, still a little bit unbelieving, "Aren't you angry with me?"
"...You don't want to ignore me?"
Shen Yuntang now looked as if he was really irritated by his stupid question.
She just said impatiently: "Huo Yuyan, can you use your brain and figure out the key points? What I want to say is--"
Huo Yuyan was so happy, he was alive again, he was so excited, he felt like he was rejuvenated and came back to life, he couldn't wait to hug Shen Yuntang tightly.
"You scared me to death!" Huo Yuyan hugged her with all his strength, almost crying again, "I thought you were going to divorce me!"
He buried his head in Shen Yuntang's shoulder, wiped his tears with her expensive clothes, and choked while crying: "I've thought about it. If you divorce me, the house, the house will be given to you, and I'll keep a car. You, you go to see my mother often, say hello to me before you go, and I'll go and have a meal with you. Huo Xihuai, you will still be invited to his parents' meeting, and I'll thank you and treat you to a meal afterwards, then we, we will be the same as if we had not divorced."
He sniffled and felt like crying more and more the more he spoke. He buried his head tighter and hugged Shen Yuntang's waist tightly, almost clinging to her like a koala.
"You're going too far. You scared me to death. You made me take it seriously."
Shen Yuntang was completely confused by him for a moment.
What is this guy doing? Is he crazy? He dares to hug her?
Still wiping tears on her clothes?
She suppressed her temper and shouted, "Huo Yuyan!"
"I'm here!" The fellow sniffed again and took a deep breath, "I'm not leaving! I won't listen to you even if you insist on having the final say! Impossible! Shen Yuntang, I'm telling you it's impossible!"
"Are you crazy? Do you know how expensive my clothes are?"
"I'll pay!"
He just refused to let go, and no one knew where he got the courage from. Shen Yuntang struggled twice but couldn't get away. He could only let him hold him with a gloomy face, and it seemed that he was about to reach his peak of anger.
She pinched Huo Yuyan's arm hard, wishing she could throw this stupid guy out.
Why are you trying so hard to wake him up? This idiot only has love in his mind!
"Shen Yuntang." Huo Yuyan was still crying, but suddenly he felt very confident and even picked her up with force.
He said, “You have to make it up to me.”
There was murderous intent in Shen Yuntang's eyes.
But I don't know if it's because of love that people lose their IQ or because they are fearless after surviving a disaster, Huo Yuyan said stubbornly: "You have to kiss me."
Shen Yuntang was shocked.
Is he so scary when he goes crazy? What is he talking about? Is he overstimulated?
Seeing that Shen Yuntang seemed stunned, Huo Yuyan still had the courage. He said without hesitation: "I almost scared you to death. You must compensate me, otherwise I will not leave today."
Although he spoke so firmly, he was constantly stared at by Shen Yuntang with murderous eyes, and his firmness gradually weakened.
He opened his mouth again, and suddenly felt a fear as his courage retreated.
Huo Yuyan slowly closed his mouth again.
He seems really crazy.
What is he doing? Is he ill? What is he doing with Shen Yuntang? Does he have a second personality that no one knows about?
Huo Yuyan was stunned at his courage just now due to his momentary emotion.
After realizing his situation, he immediately became timid, wanting to say something but stopping for a moment, not knowing how to end the situation in a less awkward way.
Huo Yuyan moved his throat.
His voice got lower and lower, and he became less and less confident: "I just... was hit hard. It was a huge blow."
"My heart can't take all these ups and downs."
"My brain went haywire."
“…I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
"Don't ignore me! You can scold me, you can do whatever you want, just don't... don't ignore me."
"…see how to scold me appropriately."
Huo Yuyan closed his eyes and began to accept his fate.
He seemed to hear Shen Yuntang let out an unreasonable and ridiculous breath.
"You are such a fool," she said.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was wrong!"
"It's good to know you're wrong."
Shen Yuntang said coldly.
Huo Yuyan was extremely nervous, and became even more nervous after hearing her words.
He was about to apologize, but suddenly his face felt hot.
