Chapter 61
Although they have been married for a year and a half, Huo Yuyan still has the intense heartbeat of a newlywed and the confusion of first love.
He...he was favored by Shen Yuntang?
It seems he didn't do anything.
Is it true?
Are you kidding?
Huo Yuyan stopped eating his bowl of noodle soup, threw down his chopsticks and just stared at her.
As she watched, she anxiously crossed her fingers and clenched them tightly.
This surprise was too big. Originally, just imagining that Shen Yuntang might not dislike him was enough to make him secretly happy, but what was this? Did Shen Yuntang directly say that she liked him?
Does that mean she likes him?
She confessed.
I'll go.
Huo Yuyan felt his heart thump again.
He didn't know what to say. His ears were filled with noise and his whole body was stiff. He just stared blankly at Shen Yuntang eating elegantly.
She was not affected by the atmosphere at all.
On the contrary, Huo Yuyan felt uneasy and as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
After a long while, he moved his throat and asked in a low voice with some difficulty: "Are you...really, really that me?"
"What is that?"
Shen Yuntang lowered his eyes and didn't look at him.
She had asked this question deliberately to make him speak out, and he saw through it.
Huo Yuyan choked, then leaned forward with his hands on the edge of the table, lowered his voice like a primary school student telling a secret, and said tremblingly: "... like me."
Only then did Shen Yuntang raise his eyes and look at him quietly.
Huo Yuyan became nervous for a moment.
His heart was pounding and he just tried to slowly retreat when he saw Shen Yuntang open his mouth.
“I like it.”
Oh shit!
Huo Yuyan suddenly fell back into the sitting position in a daze.
He held his chest and panted for a while, then tried to straighten his neck and looked at Shen Yuntang. She was so calm that she even seemed to smile at him.
As if to say "that's it".
Huo Yuyan was flustered and at a loss. He paused for a long time before he sat up straight, trying to appear as if he had planned this in advance. He said without thinking, "Then...then can I call you...anything else?"
Huo Xihuai can call her sister, so as Shen Yuntang's favorite... can he have a special privilege? For example, he can be allowed to call her Tangtang... or something.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yuntang raised his head again and continued the next sentence for him: "Call me wife?"
Huo Yuyan slid down all of a sudden, and with great effort he grabbed the armrest of the chair and sat up with an expressionless face.
Before he could say anything, he heard Shen Yuntang say, "Okay."
“…”
Another national curse almost came out of my mouth.
Huo Yuyan's lips trembled for a long time, and he really couldn't utter a word.
This is progressing too fast.
He really couldn't keep up with Shen Yuntang's speed.
After he finally adjusted to his current heart rate, he took a slow, deep breath, adjusted his rhythm with trembling breaths, and tried moving his lips twice, but still found it difficult to mobilize his vocal cords.
Finally, when Shen Yuntang had finished eating, he stared at her and finally shouted out his first nervous voice in a different tone -
"...Wife." He didn't dare to look Shen Yuntang in the eye, and could only stare at the pattern on her collar. "We...we are together, right?"
Shen Yuntang seemed to be speechless for a moment.
"Huo Yuyan," she said, "do you want to check what year you got your marriage certificate?"
"...Then let's celebrate our one and a half years of marriage." Huo Yuyan immediately raised the wine glass and took the initiative to touch the glass that she had placed beside him. It made a crisp "ding" sound, and then he held it in his hand and looked at her eagerly.
Shen Yuntang looked at him for a long time, as if he didn't understand himself. After a while, he sighed and picked up the wine glass.
She touched it back gently.
The sound of "ding" made him feel very happy.
He stared at Shen Yuntang while drinking, without leaving a drop. Shen Yuntang just took a sip, but he still stared at him excitedly.
——His spring has come.
He wanted everyone to know that he, Huo Yuyan, was the apple of Shen Yuntang's eye, her beloved, and her official husband.
Everyone else is what.
Not a threat at all.
Shen Yuntang only likes him.
Huo Yuyan's heart was filled with sweetness, and he sent eight hundred messages in one breath on the way back.
"Mom, Dad, my wife and I went out to eat today. Well, the food here isn't that great, but the atmosphere is great..."
"Grandpa, where are you playing chess again? My wife and I just finished dinner. Let me see what you ate."
"Xihuai, you haven't finished your homework yet? Your sister-in-law and I are going home soon. Take your time. I'll cheer you on."
"You guys haven't gotten off work yet? Your boss said today is your wedding anniversary, so let's go two hours early."
"How many years? One and a half years, what's wrong?"
…
Huo Yuyan's circle of friends was annoyed by his harassment.
But some people cannot block him like Ms. Tang and Grandpa Huo and Dad Huo did, and can only smile and patiently listen to him talk about him and his wife.
No one knows why Huo Yuyan went crazy today.
After the harassment, he also posted a message on WeChat Moments to summarize the main points:
"The restaurant we booked today is very beautiful. My wife loves it. Happy anniversary."
After thinking about it, he still felt that this was not presentable enough, so he forced himself to add a photo of him and Shen Yuntang.
Although Shen Yuntang's expression in the photo was not very friendly, he smiled very brightly, and he leaned forward a little to make his head look bigger, making Shen Yuntang's face look smaller.
The group of people who had just been harassed by him had to rush to like and comment on his posts to express their envy and blessings.
Looking at the screams in the comments that were refreshed every second, Huo Yuyan was finally satisfied.
I know that you guys have never seen a beautiful woman as gentle and kind as my wife.
I'm so jealous of you, haha.
Huo Yuyan put away his phone.
With the sense of security of having a wife, Huo Yuyan's world became brighter.
Even when the dress was delivered to him, he did not get jealous. Instead, he just glanced at it and asked in a non-committal way, "Which designer designed it? It suits you very well, my wife."
"Xie Yunting." Shen Yuntang said casually, "I changed it for him."
Huo Yuyan sat up straight almost instantly.
After a while, he said nonchalantly, "Your revision still looks better."
"Is that even necessary?"
Shen Yuntang didn't even raise his head and asked someone to iron it and hang it up.
Originally, it needed to be ironed and washed after it was finished, but she had too many requirements and had to do it again herself before she was satisfied.
The award ceremony was held indoors, so there was no need to worry about being too cold. Huo Yuyan was also careful this time and picked a dress that was similar in color and material to hers.
What does it mean to quietly declare your status as the principal wife?
This is a lesson for you.
He had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and even suffered from insomnia on the eve of the award ceremony, just like an elementary school student waiting for the spring outing the next day.
Huo Yuyan tossed and turned for a long time.
He turned sideways and stared at the cold wall in a daze.
He is going to walk the red carpet with Shen Yuntang.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but smile unconsciously.
Those who admire Miss Shen and those who clamor to meet Miss Shen certainly didn't expect this.
This was Ms. Shen's first public appearance, and she brought her wife with her.
Under the spotlight, he and Shen Yuntang were actually going to walk down the red carpet arm in arm. Huo Yuyan could even imagine how others would comment on them - a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but lie down in the quilt and laugh silently.
He is so proud, what should I do?
Even when I was a child, I never felt so proud when raising the flag on the flagpole.
The award ceremony finally arrived as scheduled after his long wait. Huo Yuyan felt a little uncomfortable sitting in the car, and simulated the steps of getting off the car a hundred times in his mind.
Shen Yuntang seemed to have experienced this kind of situation a hundred times and was not at all nervous.
There was also a lot of discussion on the Internet about this annual awards ceremony, especially after someone discovered that investors would also attend, and among them was the legendary Miss Shen.
——This is about showing up.
Netizens who had heard the news several times in a row were excited.
I only saw her back at the last exhibition, and it was deleted by the organizer. Shouldn’t I be able to see the fairy’s full face this time?
Who wouldn't be curious about this legendary person who rescued Gu Lan from a tragic marriage, got the top star Fu Hengze to pay for her endorsement, got Charles to co-develop a new brand, slapped Shen Yunhe and Anguo Daily Chemicals in the face in all aspects, and took back his mother's industry to clear her name?
This life is even more exciting than a TV drama.
Although the award ceremony is only broadcast, there are audience seats on the red carpet. The media needs an invitation, and ordinary audiences can also get tickets through a lottery.
As evening approached, many lucky netizens were already queuing at the entrance.
In addition to the popular winners of this awards ceremony, the most discussed person is the investor, Ms. Shen.
"I'm so nervous, sister. I really want to see Ms. Shen. I've liked her for a long time!!"
"Who isn't? Ms. Shen is my role model in life. And her back view is so beautiful. I feel like she would be stunning in person too."
"Woo woo woo, I want to marry you."
"Stop talking. If you want to get married, beautiful rich lady, look at me. I am in my twenties and can take care of myself. If I am hungry, I can eat by myself. Do I have a chance?"
Some people even wore glowing headbands with the word "Shen" on them and held up banners.
They claimed that they were loyal fans of Bufan Perfume and Mr. Shen.
The security was outrageous. It was the first time I saw investors and supporters.
Huo Yuyan and Shen Yuntang's car arrived. He spotted the group of people in the waiting area and became very alert.
What is this doing?
He whispered to the driver, "What do those people mean? Why did they mention my wife's name?"
The driver said while steering, "Oh, Mr. Huo, that's called cheering, which means to support the people you like. In addition to these headbands and banners, there are also light signs, posters, banners, roll-up banners, water-filled flags, flower walls, and everything else."
Huo Yuyan didn't even have time to be surprised that the driver knew so much. He was a little confused, but that didn't stop him from understanding that these people liked his wife.
He became alert.
Actually did more than him.
He looked at Shen Yuntang next to him and saw that he didn't seem to be paying much attention to what he was talking about, so he quickly lowered his head and sent a message to Butler Li.
Butler Li immediately accepted the order.
A moment later, the group of people who were waiting to cheer for Mr. Shen heard some heavy noises behind them.
When I turned around, I saw a group of people coming towards me pulling a hydrogen balloon.
With a "swish", a huge banner fell from the sky, with a few imposing words written on it -
"Shen Yuntang is number one in the world."
Everyone in the waiting area was stunned.
Just as they were stunned, another group of people came over carrying things, untied the ropes, and bright fluorescent flags fluttered in the wind, each with a huge "Shen" written on it.
They even sent people to wave the flags.
Everyone was stunned.
Later, several floats arrived. Each float had "Shen" written on its body, and drove around the streets around the awards ceremony, with LED screens playing music.
What a grand ceremony! Even the top stars of our time don’t have such a grand ceremony.
Is this Miss Shen’s support?
Who arranged this for her? Oh my god, there are rich people among her admirers? This is putting all those stars' pomp and circumstance under the spotlight!
Huo Yuyan looked at them all in a daze, then he happily put down his phone.
When it comes to praising his wife, no one can surpass him.
Originally, Shen Yuntang was looking down at his phone.
Suddenly, he heard some noise and slowly raised his head.
Through the brown glass, she saw the huge hydrogen balloon outside and the inflatable man dancing in the wind.
She was silent.
Then he turned and looked at Huo Yuyan.
Huo Yuyan was originally quite happy, but he suddenly became a little nervous when she looked at him like that. After a long while, he carefully asked, "What's the matter?"
Shen Yuntang pointed his chin outside and asked, "Who did it?"
Huo Yuyan: "..."
Seeing his guilty look, Shen Yuntang nodded in understanding, "I knew that others wouldn't be so unsophisticated."
Huo Yuyan became even more silent.
He felt that his sweet love, which had just begun, was about to enter a cooling-off period again, and Shen Yuntang would definitely scold him.
He heard Shen Yuntang sigh softly.
It seemed like it was their turn, and the host was reading out the guest list, so it was time for them to get off the bus.
Huo Yuyan buried his head, looking a little hesitant as if he had done something wrong.
Someone outside had already opened the door for them. He lowered his head, ready for Shen Yuntang to get out of the car by himself, and then he would follow.
Shen Yuntang suddenly looked back and stroked his head.
"Little dog." He heard her whisper with disdain, and then she slowly put her hand on the back of his neck, her hand was warm.
"You are really capable." She said this with a smile, not sure if it was mocking or angry, and then she said, "Let's go."
Huo Yuyan looked up blankly.
The flash of the camera lens was dazzling, and Shen Yuntang was standing in front of him with his back to the light.
She pulled his hand down.
Huo Yuyan didn't react until he got out of the car and hit his head on the car door.
He was knocked dazed and was dragged away by Shen Yuntang, a little at a loss.
They've already walked the red carpet.
Everyone saw not only Miss Shen, but also him, the person she was holding hands with.
Huo Yuyan's mind was blank for a while before he remembered to control his expression. He quickly got back into shape and tried hard to restore the charm of a cool and elite person.
Shen Yuntang walked one step ahead of him. The two of them were different from all the other guests. Others either walked side by side or arm in arm, but the two of them held each other's hands and walked forward like they were pulling a child. She didn't even look back, and Huo Yuyan staggered twice before he could steady his steps.
...This is so unexpectedly embarrassing.
Huo Yuyan looked around vigilantly, and saw that those people were indeed stunned, still wondering who those two people were.
Until the host read out: "Investor Ms. Shen Yuntang and her husband, investor Mr. Huo Yuyan."
The whole audience suddenly burst into an uproar.
——Fuck! This peerless beauty is the legendary Miss Shen!!! Fuck, how come she is even more beautiful than I imagined! Fuck, this beauty! Does she really exist?
— Shit, wait? She has a husband?
Huo Yuyan could only see these two thoughts on the faces of the people present.
He paused.
This made him swell up almost immediately.
Huo Yuyan cleared his throat and tried to shake Shen Yuntang's hand back. When he turned around, he saw a familiar figure in front of him.
…His tentative hand suddenly clenched even tighter.
Damn it, why is he haunting me?
And that person is obviously not as happy as him now.
