Chapter 57 [1, 2 updates]

He didn't react at first.

His self-awareness probably didn't allow him to react.

His face was originally cold from the winter wind, so the slight feeling of heat was magnified. Huo Yuyan only realized that Shen Yuntang's head suddenly moved closer, and then left indifferently.

As his senses had lost consciousness, Huo Yuyan could only infer from the context what he had experienced that caused his breathing to temporarily stop.

…

This doesn't make sense.

He was kissed by Shen Yuntang.

Huo Yuyan was completely stunned.

Shen Yuntang, dear, and he, can these words be combined like this?

He was just bold enough to make a noise, and was prepared to have his head twisted off by her. Did he ever think that he was really qualified to make it happen?

But it really happened.

What does this mean? It means...

He couldn't think too deeply about this. The more he thought about it, the worse his heart rate would be...

Forget it, I can’t bear it anymore!

"...You kiss me?" Huo Yuyan murmured.

Realizing that he was still holding Shen Yuntang and that she still looked very unhappy, Huo Yuyan quickly put her down and raised one hand to cover his face.

Sticky, lipstick marks.

Huo Yuyan looked at the red mark on his palm and instantly set off fireworks all over the city.

He clenched his hands quickly and looked up.

Shen Yuntang's expression management was world-class. He couldn't see any fluctuations in her expression at all. It was as if the one she was kissing was not a good man with outstanding looks and a great figure like him, but a big dog pushing against her.

He set his eyes on Shen Yuntang's lipstick, which was the same color as the one on his face.

Huo Yuyan's heart was beating wildly, his expression was empty, and his lips were dry.

Shen Yuntang raised his eyes impatiently: "Let's go."

She didn't seem to care about it, and he even felt that she glared at him.

Huo Yuyan felt empty for a moment.

He is a loser. At this moment, he is the most loser person in the world. No, who can be a loser at this time?

Seeing that Shen Yuntang had walked a long way away, he suddenly woke up and hurriedly chased after him.

Only after he caught up with Shen Yuntang did he slow down, clear his throat, and tug at his collar. They had been delayed for so long that most people had left. At this moment, there were only the two of them left in the corridor, along with a few scattered staff members.

"I say, Miss Shen."

Huo Yuyan suddenly spoke.

Shen Yuntang ignored him, but this time he was no longer nervous. Instead, he felt relieved that everything was back on track.

This is definitely an epic step forward in a couple's relationship.

Huo Yuyan must remember this day firmly.

But he still wanted to ask this question boldly, as he would feel more at ease after asking it.

"You..." Huo Yuyan turned his head away uncomfortably, his voice gradually becoming quieter, "Why do you suddenly love me so much?"

Shen Yuntang, who was originally unmoved, trembled her fingers. She was trying not to beat up this fool.

She tilted her head expressionlessly, revealing only her beautiful profile. "Do you need to understand?"

Huo Yuyan was shocked by her ruthlessness.

But I couldn't help but think that Miss Shen was so domineering.

There is no reason for plunder.

He accepted the explanation well and followed happily. Before leaving, Shen Yuntang said coldly: "Wipe it on your face."

Huo Yuyan was stunned for a moment, touched his face, and began to be alert: "Why do you want to wipe it?"

"You still want to ask me this?"

Huo Yuyan was silent.

He seemed to understand.

But how can he show off if he wiped it?

This stretch of road can only be seen by a few people, and he even keeps it to post on his Moments so that his mom, dad, and grandpa can all see his true level.

So Huo Yuyan stood up and said, "...Wait a minute, I'll wipe it off."

He added: "The main reason is that there is no paper now."

"...Wipe it as soon as you get in the car. There is a mirror on the car."

Shen Yuntang seemed to not want to pay attention to him anymore. His face was gloomy and he walked out faster and slammed the door.

Huo Yuyan was shocked and paused for a moment, then touched his face again.

As expected, Gu Lan was walking out with a few people from the production team, chatting and laughing. They were all very optimistic about the box office and awards, and were ready to celebrate.

Seeing that Huo Yuyan hadn't left yet, Gu Lan was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Huo, you didn't go back with Miss Shen?"

Huo Yuyan saw through her subtext. It was fine that he didn't come with her, but he didn't leave with her either? There was definitely something wrong with their relationship.

How could Huo Yuyan tolerate this?

He turned his head and nodded: "My wife is waiting for me in front."

After saying that, he turned his head away, regretting that Gu Lan came towards him from the right and the evidence was on his left cheek.

Gu Lan stared at him blankly as he turned his head, until she saw a faint red on his face. She was shocked for a moment, and then she realized, "Oh, so that's how it is. Mr. Huo, take care. Mr. Huo, take care."

Huo Yuyan was satisfied then and pushed the door open and walked out.

Before he closed the door, Gu Lan added, "Congratulations, Mr. Huo."

Huo Yuyan nodded calmly.

After closing the door, I felt so happy.

Gu Lan is good at talking and is a good candidate for a friend. Shen Yuntang really has good vision.

He walked briskly to the parking lot, and just as he approached the parking space, he looked up and saw that the car was gone.

Shen Yuntang didn't wait for him at all.

Huo Yuyan: "..."

Well, even if you don't want to see him, at least stop and discuss the things in this world!

Too much!

Huo Yuyan was so angry that he took out his cell phone and took more than a dozen selfies before he picked out one that was both nonchalant and boastful.

Add captions and post it on Moments.

"This is the first movie I invested in with my wife. It's great."

Soon, someone who was sensible came to give him a thumbs up.

"Mr. Huo's face is... [thumbs up][thumbs up]"

"Mr. Huo is so happy! [covering his mouth and laughing]"

Huo Yuyan turned off his phone and didn't even look at what was going on in the family group. He called a driver, got in the car and went home.

hehe.

Let you look down on me.

Shen Yuntang, Huo Xihuai, and Huo Yuyan, a family of three, sat facing each other at the dining table.

At this moment, they are exchanging information with each other.

After telling his brother what he had talked about with Shen Yuntang that day, Huo Xihuai finally saw that he was lost in thought.

Huo Xihuai breathed a sigh of relief.

Great! My brother is finally using his brain.

The things in this world that are controlled by humans are too stimulating for ordinary people. Having lived in this world since childhood, who can tolerate being not real?

What is even more unbearable is that the originally real existence is controlled by others, forced to have a personality and destiny, and can no longer live the way he should be.

"It's just a guess, but I think this guess is more reliable." Shen Yuntang said.

"Otherwise, there is no explanation why everyone has a period of time when they lose control and go off the track."

Why would Zhuo Mei, such an outstanding person, marry Shen Anguo and choose to have a child at the peak of her career? And she was actually cheated of her property by the brainless Shen Anguo.

If she hadn't been controlled and forced to accept her fate, she wouldn't have believed that this would be the outcome.

According to the author's habit of creating characters, the vivid personalities of these other characters could not have been given by the author. If they were not created by the author, then they must have been there originally.

Shen Yuntang hates people who control other people's fate.

In the world she originally lived in, her father was such a person.

Although he is better than Shen Anguo and at least has some moral bottom line and conscience, his desire for control as a parent is so strong that it is disgusting.

He kept arranging blind dates for her and introducing young men of equal status to her. However, after finding out that she was not interested in any of them and even teased them, he got angry and directly arranged a suitable fiancé for her.

The fiancé was a narrow-minded, emotional idiot who was often provoked by his stepsister and even had the audacity to question her whether she really wanted to get married.

Shen Yuntang replied in surprise: "Do you think I do? What do you think?"

The fiancé was furious.

So after Shen Yuntang entered the book, the first thing he thought of was whether it was these two pieces of trash who did it.

But now it seems that they don't have the brains to do that.

She had offended so many people that she couldn't find any clues for the time being.

Huo Yuyan pondered for a while.

Finally, he said, "Let's think about a question."

"After the changes targeting Shen Yuntang, what did we lose and what did we gain?"

"Wen Yanyan was suddenly changed, which means that the author must have failed to achieve his goal, so he needed to add an auxiliary condition."

"What will be the result of Wen Yanyan's awakening? Maybe she knows the roles of Huo Xihuai and me, and will take the initiative to approach us to gain benefits."

"It's obvious that the creators are not trying to support Wen Yanyan to reach the peak of her life, so it's obvious that what we get is the turmoil in family relationships. Did you notice?"

As soon as Huo Yuyan finished speaking, the restaurant fell silent.

Huo Xihuai was really lost in thought.

Shen Yuntang didn't expect that Huo Yuyan actually had a brain.

Seeing Shen Yuntang's expression, Huo Yuyan knew what she was thinking. He paused and defended himself with some dissatisfaction: "...I also have a brain."

Shen Yuntang had a blank expression on his face, and he had no intention of praising him at all.

"It's not certain whether my career will be affected." She said coldly, "Perhaps the author originally wanted me to have nothing, but failed. Seeing how my career develops in the future, we can use this to eliminate some suspects."

"I don't know who came up with such a complicated thing and deliberately tampered with the world. What is the purpose? Are they bored?" Huo Yuyan asked in confusion.

"Maybe he has some deep hatred against me." Shen Yuntang thought of her father's gloomy face, her fiancé, her stepsister and Shen Zhizhe.

Who else could have such a strong desire to control her, wanting her to come to this strange world and suffer?

She felt it seemed reasonable, yet also ridiculous.

So what is Xie Yunting's role here?

Help her?

This character also appeared inexplicably, and his role was very instrumental. Apart from helping her solve the problem, it seemed that he had never appeared.

If he had a relationship with Shen Zhizhe, why couldn't he tell the truth? Was he controlled by the same setting as Zhuo Mei?

This made sense, as Xie Yunting had once hinted at her with news about Zhuo Mei. No, that could almost be considered an explicit hint.

Xie Yunting must know something, but he can't say it directly.

Shen Yuntang decided to go and see Xie Yunting again.

But she couldn't be too obvious, and Xie Yunting never took the initiative to look for her. They only met by chance when the plot happened to coincide with each other.

Does that mean that if I take the initiative to find her, the creator will find it unusual?

Shen Yuntang looked at the schedule again and suddenly remembered something.

Last time she asked Xie Yunting to design clothes for her, she didn't know whether he had finished it. It would be logical to go to him with this reason.

So she nodded, "I want to do a test."

Huo Yuyan looked at her expression. He was feeling smug at first, but he suddenly sensed a hint of danger.

He instantly became alert: "What test?"

Shen Yuntang paused, crossed his arms, and smiled at him, "Go see Xie Yunting."

Huo Yuyan's face turned green.

"Ms. Shen wants to see me?"

Xie Yunting paused for a moment when he received the news.

Then I heard someone lazily say, "Yes, I want to see if the clothes are designed."

Hearing this, Xie Yunting raised his eyes and looked towards the wall where the curtain was drawn.

He was quiet for a moment, then said gently, "Is there any occasion that requires you recently?"

"No, I just want to wear new clothes." Shen Yuntang was painting her nails, without even looking up, and said slowly and calmly, "The movie I invested in did well at the box office and was nominated for an award. I'm happy for a while, so I need some new clothes and bags to go with it."

Xie Yunting quickly remembered that it was the film festival awards ceremony next month, and said politely: "I will send it to Miss Shen as soon as possible."

"I can come here by myself." Shen Yuntang said, "It's a good opportunity for me to give some suggestions."

She said it so confidently that I didn't know how to refuse.

Xie Yunting was quiet for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, he put down what he was doing, stood up and walked to the curtain.

He reached out and drew aside the curtain.

At the back is his studio, which has not been used for many years and is filled with some old objects.

It was not until Shen Yuntang requested it that this corner was cleaned up again and had its own use.

A dress hangs in the middle of the studio.

It took him quite some time to design, and he completed everything by himself, from drawing the picture to selecting materials to cutting.

There is no dress more suitable for Shen Yuntang than this one.

The most suitable dress he could imagine for Shen Yuntang's temperament was this one.

Xie Yunting walked closer, squatted down, and picked up one corner of her skirt.

The beading on it is not finished yet. This character is so busy that he has to deal with his work before he can find time to make this skirt.

Although he had never worked in this industry before, he had experience in architectural design and with the help of the memories left by Xie Yunting, it was not too difficult for him to complete a skirt that suited his heart.

Xie Yunting let down her skirt and stood up.

There will be guests coming today, so he won't have time to continue working until the evening.

These were guests he didn't really want to deal with.

They were the family that had supported him for a period of time when he was a child, but later they lost contact when he went to Zhaburg.

After he grew up, he repaid the money he had received double, and also gave them a lot of other rewards. However, the family seemed to mistakenly believe that he wanted to get close to them, and often did some inexplicable things.

For example, verbally engaging him to his own daughter.

For example, try bringing your family to visit and acting as the host.

Sometimes they would even bring a lot of unfamiliar guests to their homes, saying that they would introduce their future "son-in-law" to them.

Xie Yunting pinched his frowning brows.

He had treated Yan Jinyao coldly enough last time, but for some reason, this person still refused to give up. He even listened to someone and wanted to further develop the relationship with him.

If Xie Yunting heard what the Yan family said to Yan Jinyao, he would probably be even angrier.

After hearing about the incident in the teahouse, Yan's father said to his daughter earnestly, "If you think about it this way, at your age, how many people can compare to Xie Yunting's wealth? You missed him, where can you find the next one?"

"Listen to Dad. He just spent too much time abroad and is unfamiliar with you. He is also not used to our euphemistic and reserved etiquette. He is just straightforward and is not targeting you. Besides, think about it. Even a casual teahouse is willing to spend so much time collecting treasures. If he is interested in you, how would he support you? Isn't this the life you want most?"

Yan Jinyao was gradually persuaded by her father.

Her father continued, "We have helped him in every possible way. You see, he has been giving back to us for so many years and has not severed his relationship with us. This shows that he values ​​feelings. Isn't such a good husband? You have the identity of a benefactor's daughter. As long as you spend more time with him, he will open his heart to you sooner or later. My daughter is so beautiful, I don't believe he can resist being moved."

Yan Jinyao thought about it and it made sense, so even though she was still frightened by Xie Yunting's cold attitude towards her that day, she couldn't help but look forward to it when she thought about what it would be like to be held in the palm of Xie Yunting's hand.

The only thing she was worried about was Shen Yuntang.

I don’t know what’s going on. She is still so close to Xie Yunting even though she is married. I don’t know if her husband knows about it.

Later, when Yan Jinyao saw Master Charles come specially to be interviewed for her new product launch, she felt sour and hateful, but also relieved.

Since Shen Yuntang also has such a good relationship with Charles, it is estimated that they only have a bond due to their friendship with Charles. A married person cannot be considered a big threat.

She couldn't get a divorce right away.

So Yan Jinyao became confident again and often followed her parents to visit Xie Yunting's home.

Although the reception attitude towards them was not very enthusiastic, Xie Yunting never refused once.

They gradually came to think that this person was just cold-hearted and was actually very welcoming to them.

In their home, if a disliked relative came every day, they would have kicked him out long ago. Those who still stayed must have a good relationship with him.

The Yan family members were testing Xie Yunting's bottom line step by step, from bringing their whole family to visit him at the beginning, to bringing friends to visit him, and now they even directly borrowed Xie Yunting's house to hold parties.

Xie Yunting bought a luxury house in China, which he designed himself. It was very impressive to use for parties. Yan Jinyao had been eyeing it for a long time, but she didn't dare to mention it as she and Xie Yunting were not familiar with each other yet.

But her parents had no such concerns. After three rounds of drinks, they said openly that they liked his yard and wanted to borrow it to hold a party and invite a few friends to come and have some fun.

Originally, this kind of venue borrowing was not uncommon, but it only happened between very familiar relatives and friends. Yan Jinyao was originally worried that Xie Yunting would not lend it and rejected their face.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yunting, who had been eating quietly with his head down, just raised his head and glanced at them quietly after hearing what she said, and happened to meet her eyes.

After a moment, he said, "Okay."

Yan Jinyao's heart started pounding just from that glance.

She felt that Xie Yunting's attitude towards her seemed to be more and more worthy of reflection. Why did he look at her specially before agreeing?

Does it mean "you can if you wish"?

Although she felt that Xie Yunting, with his cold personality, would not do such a thing, it did not stop Yan Jinyao from using her imagination.

Ever since Xie Yunting agreed to lend her the yard, she had begun to feel like a hostess.

Looking at the densely arranged flowers and trees in the courtyard and the cool tones of the entire yard, she couldn't help but want to rearrange it.

How can such a deserted yard be suitable for a gathering? It’s better to make it lively, with warm colors, change the lights, and put more potted plants. Then the courtyard will be very lively for barbecues, chatting, and playing games.

Originally, I should have asked Xie Yunting for his opinion, but Yan Jinyao didn't know what was going on, and suddenly she had an idea as if possessed by a ghost.

Does she want to...test Xie Yunting's bottom line?

Men need to be forced. If you don't push them, they will never take the initiative.

Especially for someone as cold as Xie Yunting.

So Yan Jinyao decided to act first and report later, to decorate the yard first and then tell Xie Yunting.

Since it has been borrowed anyway, it is expected to rearrange it. Maybe Xie Yunting will feel that the scene is more warm and lively after the decoration.

Yan Jinyao became bolder.

She moved the potted plants in the yard, laid a long blanket on the ground, cleaned up the scattered grass around, and hung colorful balloons and ribbons on the wall.

After some tidying up, it finally looked like a party.

Those who came to the appointment today were all familiar friends, and they were all elders with their children. Everyone was of similar age and had common topics.

Several people saw Yan Jinyao directing people to hang balloons on the wall, and couldn't help but enviously asked, "Is this the new house you bought? It's so big, and the design is so high-end."

Yan Jinyao looked around, raised her index finger and said "hush" to them, "This is my fiancé's house."

Several friends were even more shocked. They had vaguely heard that Yan Jinyao had a fiancé, but he had rarely shown up. Some time ago, there were rumors in the circle that she and her fiancé almost fell out and lost her rich husband, but no one took it seriously.

But I didn't expect it to look so real.

So some people couldn't help but envy and said: "Jinyao, can you take us around the house? This design is so good, I wonder which country the designer was hired from."

"I heard that he designed it himself." Yan Jinyao was embarrassed for a moment and said, "I can't just bring anyone in. How about this, let's take a look in the living room."

Several friends nodded in thanks.

At the same time, Shen Yuntang was playing Candy Crush on the road.

Xie Yunting told her his home address and asked her to go there whenever she was free.

She was not particularly willing to be alone with this person. Maybe it was because of his aura, or maybe it was because he had a heavy gloomy aura, Shen Yuntang always felt very stressed when she saw him.

Coincidentally, she saw someone in her circle of friends saying that they were going to a party today, and when she looked at the address, she found that it was exactly at Xie Yunting's house.

Although he didn't know why he invited people to a party at his home, Shen Yuntang went out immediately because he wanted to seize the opportunity.

After learning that she was coming, Xie Yunting paused and immediately rushed back home.
