Although Zhou Yexuan was of noble status, as a man, he was still very gentlemanly. He was standing outside the Zhuangyuan Mansion, waiting obediently for the arrival of his wife and children.

He had already changed out of the suit that was soiled by Zhou Jiayan. Plus, it was already early summer and the temperature was around 20 degrees Celsius, so Zhou Yexuan also took off his heavy suit jacket.

Of course, he wouldn't have dressed up without Zhou Jiayan's supervision. He only wore a white shirt, but his aura didn't diminish in the slightest.

The man was tall and slender, with an upright posture, and his shirt was buttoned up to the top button meticulously. When the wind blew his shirt, a thin layer of firm and hard muscles could be vaguely seen under the shirt.

He stood under the red wall of Zhuangyuan Mansion, attracting the attention of tourists passing by.

Since the program crew has obtained Zhou Yexuan's consent to film, they will not miss a single minute and will start following Zhou Yexuan as soon as he appears in Zhuangyuan Mansion.

Although the man did not say a word or even make any movements at this time, he was already tempting enough for the audience in the live broadcast room.

[He is so handsome! From now on, the bosses in my novels have faces. 】

[Mr. Zhou should be over 185cm tall, and I counted him and he is actually 9 heads tall! ]

[Mr. Zhou's figure is really better than that of male stars. He has a very thin figure. I am really disgusted by the big bellies of some male stars.]

[Someone said before that Shen Qingqing went to great lengths to marry into the Zhou family. If I were Shen Qingqing, I would go to even greater lengths, okay? ]

[Sisters in the live broadcast room, please be reserved. Once you come in, there will be bitter tea seeds all over the floor. ]

[Wow, I envy Shen Qingqing so much for having such a wonderful man. 】

…

Zhou Jiayan naturally didn't want to let his old father wait too long, so after Zhou Yexuan stood at the wall for about ten minutes, he saw a woman in a yellow floral dress leading a fair-skinned little boy in a yellow sportswear towards him.

Both of them, one big and one small, had smiles on their faces, which made people feel better unconsciously. Zhou Yexuan, who originally had a serious face, now had a smile in his eyes.

As Shen Qingqing and the others got closer, Zhou Yexuan saw clearly what they looked like today.

Unlike the dishevel she looked in the afternoon, Shen Qingqing now wore light makeup and had her long hair braided with a yellow headband. Together with the yellow floral dress she was wearing, Shen Qingqing looked youthful and energetic.

At this time, Zhou Jiayan was a little boy with a fair and tender chubby face that could be pinched to produce water. He was wearing a yellow sports suit and was jumping around while being led by Shen Qingqing. His little curly hair fluttered as he walked, making him look cute and handsome.

The audience watching in Zhou Yexuan's temporary live broadcast room also saw this harmonious scene.

[This scene is so harmonious and loving. ]

[Qingqing is so beautiful. Today's makeup is great. It's clear, playful and energetic. Can you give me a tutorial? 】

[Wake up, it's not the makeup that's good, it's the face that's good. I looked carefully and Shen Qingqing should have only put on light makeup. ]

[As a straight woman, I just envied Shen Qingqing, and now I envy Ms. Zhou, a super beautiful sister. 】

[No one wants to steal a child? Then I'll pack up Yanyan and steal her away. ]

Zhou Yexuan knew that Shen Qingqing was beautiful, but

At this moment, she still couldn't help but be amazed, especially Shen Qingqing's clear and pure eyes, which were now looking at Zhou Jiayan with a smile.

Zhou Yexuan was a little dazed, and it was not until Zhou Jiayan called out "Dad" that he came to his senses.

Zhou Jiayan used the leg-holding trick again, raised his head with a smile, and shouted, "Dad, we are here."

Zhou Jiayan was always reserved in front of his father. After hearing his father's "Sigh", he loosened his hands and stood aside. However, he had just seen the amazement in Zhou Yexuan's eyes when he looked at his stepmother, so he couldn't help but start showing off again.

"Dad, I picked out Mom's dress today, and I supervised her makeup. How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

Based on Zhou Yexuan's understanding of Shen Qingqing, she would naturally not dress up to please him like before. It turned out that Zhou Jiayan asked Shen Qingqing to dress like this, no wonder.

Zhou Yexuan naturally had to support his son's words, not to mention that Shen Qingqing's outfit today was indeed youthful and beautiful, so he nodded and said, "It looks good. Yanyan has really good taste."

Shen Qingqing was very dissatisfied with Zhou Yexuan's praise of Zhou Jiayan, "It's obviously me who is good-looking. I can look good even if I wear a sack, okay?"

The best thing that Zhou Jiayan, this little devil, did was to make sure she didn't get lazy today.

Zhou Yexuan lamented in his heart how fickle women are. He had just praised Shen Qingqing in the studio but she looked embarrassed, so this time he deliberately avoided praising her directly, but he didn't expect that she would be unhappy again.

Zhou Jiayan obviously understood Shen Qingqing's fickle personality better than Zhou Yexuan, and he quickly explained on behalf of his old father, "Dad didn't mean that. He said that you look better when you dress up."

When Zhou Jiayan's mouth is irritating, it's really irritating, but when he says nice things, it's really heartwarming.

So she immediately reached out and pinched Zhou Jiayan's cheek, "Woo woo woo, you are really smart and know how to talk, unlike some people who can't even see the essence of things. But you are only five years old and you are so good at making girls happy. I am very worried about your future girlfriend."

Zhou Jiayan opened his mouth in surprise, not understanding why he was "attacked" by his stepmother even though he was clearly praising her. Besides, he was still so young, how could he have a girlfriend?

The conversation between mother and son made everyone laugh again.

[Hahaha, the kid was shocked. Why did the fire come back at him?]

[Yanyan doesn't understand yet, don't get involved in the fight between mom and dad. Shen Qingqing doesn't want to hear his praise.]

[Yanyan's mouth is as sweet as honey, and she beats my twenty-something boyfriend. ]

[Not only does he beat ordinary men, he also beats his parents, hahaha. ]

[Who knows that I felt the boyfriend power from a five-year-old boy again. 】

In the end, Zhou Yexuan couldn't stand it anymore and came out to seek justice and apologize.

He looked at Shen Qingqing with a smile in his eyes, "Okay, I was not good at speaking just now. I apologize to you. The main thing is that you are beautiful, and the clothes are secondary."

Zhou Yexuan said this sincerely, not entirely to extinguish Shen Qingqing's anger.

At this time, it was not far from the 6:30 p.m. stipulated by the program team.

So Zhou Yexuan lowered his head and pointed at the watch on his wrist, "It's not the time now.

It’s early, let’s go quickly.”

Shen Qingqing was not particularly satisfied with this apology, but for someone like Zhou Yexuan, it was already a great achievement.

Of course, the most important thing is that she still lives in Zhou Yexuan's mansion, enjoying the services of Zhou's servants and chefs, and has a mentality of being grateful for what she has received.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Shen Qingqing nodded modestly and accepted it reluctantly. "Okay, then I'll remember to forgive you first, and let's go now."

After saying that, she took Zhou Jiayan's hand and walked towards the observatory.

Seeing this, Zhou Yexuan couldn't help but laugh. Why did he feel that Shen Qingqing in front of him was even more childish than Yanyan?

Taking a few steps forward, Zhou Yexuan took Zhou Jiayan's other hand, and the family of three walked towards the observatory.

It was already evening and the setting sun cast the shadows of the family of three very long.

This scene later became one of the most classic scenes in the "Shi Qing Chao Ye" cpf.

【Looking at the backs of this family of three, I was moved. 】

[They are really a perfect match, both of them are so good-looking. 】

[I am tired of saying the word "matched". 】

[Anyone who is producing a dating show? Come and see our Shi Qing Chao Ye. They are a real couple. They are both very pretty and have cute kids! No money if they are not sweet! ]

[+1 above, my child really wants to watch it. ]

The observatory is located in the center of Zhuangyuan Town, not far from Zhuangyuan Mansion. After walking for twenty minutes, Shen Qingqing and the others arrived.

It is called an observatory, but it is actually a newly built tower in the town. The highest point of the tower is semi-open, with a roof on top and only fences around it. There is a telescope on top and a stone table next to the telescope.

However, because the buildings in the town are generally short, this tower, which looks about five or six stories high, is indeed the tallest building in the entire ancient town.

Therefore, standing on the platform, you can have a panoramic view of the entire ancient town.

Zhuangyuan Town uses culture and education as its selling point, so it is impossible for it to open many music bars like some ancient towns. Therefore, the ancient town is now much quieter than the hustle and bustle of the day.

But this does not mean that Zhuangyuan Town is completely dark at this time. On the contrary, the shops on both sides of the street have hung up lanterns of various styles, and looking down from the observatory, you can see stars. It can be said that this tower is named after another way.

The program team's "feast" was already placed on the stone table, including chicken, duck, fish, seafood, barbecue, etc., as well as many local specialties. It can be seen that the program team really spent a lot of money this time.

Director Xu Xiang was also waiting here, and when he saw Zhou Yexuan's face he smiled brightly.

For a star like Shen Qingqing who is still in the circle, he can be rude and torment her for the sake of the show effect. After all, since she has entered this circle, she must respect the rules of the circle, but these rules are completely useless for Zhou Yexuan.

Zhou has many brands under its umbrella, and is always the biggest investor in TV stations and platforms. This time, Shen Qingqing was able to join the show mostly because of the advertisers’ recognition.

For a director who once had difficulty finding commercial sponsorship, currying favor with the financiers has become his instinct.

He stretched out his fat hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, I really didn't expect

As soon as you returned to China, you came to look for your wife and children. You are truly a role model for men in our new era."

Zhou Yexuan was very arrogant in his bones, but he was very kind in the business world. At this moment, he smiled and extended his hand to shake it back. "Director Xu, that's not the case. I haven't seen my family for a long time. I was impulsive. I also want to thank the director for not blaming me for disturbing the recording of your show."

Xu Xiang became even more excited when he heard this. He didn't expect a man like Zhou Yexuan to be so polite to him. "Mr. Zhou, it's not a bother. You don't know how much attention your arrival has brought to our program."

Seeing Xu Xiang's servile appearance, Shen Qingqing was speechless. How could Xu Xiang have the same demeanor as when he was embarrassing the recording guests? He was really too powerful.

Seeing this scene, not only Shen Qingqing complained, but the onlookers in the live broadcast room also began to complain about Xu Xiang.

[Fans who have been upset by Xu Xiang, please come and take a look. It is rare to see Director Xu being such a bootlicker.]

[Hahaha, I saw Director Xu teasing big names before, and I thought he was the kind of director who was not afraid of power. I didn’t expect that the guests in the past were not important enough! ]

[Our director who had always been strong all his life finally knelt before the capitalist advertisers. ]

[I have taken a screenshot. If my idol is bullied by Director Xu again on his show, I will post a picture of him groveling in disgrace.]

[Aiya, why are you all paying attention to this middle-aged bald man Director Xu? Am I the only one who thinks that Mr. Zhou is also very gentle and polite? He is indeed the heir of a real aristocratic family, not a nouveau riche.]

[+1 to the above, I am also licking Mr. Zhou’s face. ]

Xu Xiang has always been a smart person. He knew that Zhou Yexuan wanted some time alone with the three of them, so he complimented him a few more times before saying goodbye and leaving. "Mr. Zhou, I won't bother you any more. After all, it's time for us to eat. It's just that we don't have a big meal to eat. We can only eat boxed lunches and instant noodles."

Watching Xu Xiang staggering down the stairs with a beer belly, Shen Qingqing thought that with the director's body shape, there was no point in having a big meal. It would be better to eat less at night or have a vegetable salad and walk.

After the production crew left, only Shen Qingqing and her family of three and the camera that had been set up were left on the observatory.

Zhou Jiayan was in the period of growth, and he was very excited during the day. He was already hungry. He ran to the stone table and sat down. He looked at the dishes on the table with his big eyes, "Wow, it's so rich."

He is well-educated and even if he is hungry, he will not pick up his chopsticks unless the adults tell him to.

Seeing Zhou Jiayan's eager look, Zhou Yexuan could no longer let him wait, and immediately said, "It's getting late, let's start eating, don't let the program crew down."

Zhou Jiayan clapped his hands happily when he heard this.

Then the three of them sat down in front of the stone table, and because of the characteristics of the triangle, they sat next to each other in pairs.

However, Shen Qingqing's focus was on herself, while Zhou Yexuan's focus was on Zhou Jiayan. They took good care of the children's meals, and Shen Qingqing was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet.

I have to say that the restaurant found by the program team is really good. The dishes are excellent in both appearance and taste, and there are also several local specialty noodles, which made Shen

Qingqing, who doesn't like noodles, couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

Shen Qingqing still felt a little guilty about carbohydrates, so in order to alleviate this guilt, she thought about eating some high-protein foods such as blanched shrimp.

At the same time, Shen Qingqing is a person who really doesn't like trouble. She has always been too lazy to touch foods like shrimp that need to be peeled.

She is not a person who likes to act like a big shot. She would not ask her assistant to peel the shrimps for her like other stars. In the past, she would either buy the shrimps directly or not eat them.

Just then, when she looked around, she saw a plate of peeled shrimps next to Zhou Jiayan's small bowl, and the always reserved Zhou Yexuan had rolled up his sleeves and was peeling shrimps for Zhou Jiayan.

remember

The man had long fingers with distinct joints, which were stained with the pink juice of the shrimp. He peeled the shrimps carefully and meticulously, peeling each shrimp intact and placing them on the plate.

But Zhou Jiayan was busy gnawing on a chicken leg and had no time to eat the shrimp.

Shen Qingqing suddenly felt unbalanced. Why could a little brat like Zhou Jiayan be peeled for shrimps, but a beauty like her was ignored?

Of course, thinking about the last time she stole Zhou Jiayan’s ice cream and got gastroenteritis that night, and now there is a "fierce god" like Zhou Yexuan here, Shen Qingqing naturally didn't dare to steal children's food again.

So she decided to trick the child.

When Zhou Jiayan finished eating the chicken leg in his hand, Shen Qingqing smiled and said to Zhou Jiayan, "Yanyan, who do you think is the biggest contributor to today's meal?"

Zhou Jiayan did not doubt him and quickly replied, "You are definitely the biggest contributor. Yanyan knows this."

Shen Qingqing nodded with satisfaction, "Then I have paid the most, shouldn't you repay me?"

Because he was so happy today, and with his father around, Zhou Jiayan's wariness of his stepmother dropped sharply. The honest child thought about it and realized that his stepmother had helped him win first place, but he had not yet thanked her.

So Zhou Jiayan tilted his head, looked at Shen Qingqing with his big, round eyes, and asked, "How can I repay you?"

Shen Qingqing thought to herself that the little guy was really tactful today, but she pretended to be calm and nonchalant, "Yanyan, it's like this, I won't make it difficult for you, and I don't need you to do anything particularly difficult for me, just peel ten shrimps for me."

Shen Qingqing did not directly say that she wanted Zhou Yexuan to peel the shrimp. After all, if she said that, it would become a deal between her and Zhou Yexuan, and she didn't want to tell Zhou Yexuan unless it was necessary.

What's more, Zhou Yexuan would reject her mercilessly at first sight, and she would definitely be the one to embarrass herself in front of the camera.

She felt that with Zhou Jiayan's always smart little head, she should be able to think that giving her the plate of shrimps peeled by Zhou Yexuan would be the simplest and most convenient option.

Many viewers in the live broadcast room saw Shen Qingqing's intention and began to complain.

[I think Shen Qingqing is trying to trick the kid into giving her the heart-shaped shrimp that her dad peeled.]

[Shen Qingqing is really amazing. It was her husband who peeled the shrimps. Couldn't she just say it directly? She had to cheat the kid out of the shrimps.]

[I hope Yanyan will not agree to let Shen Qingqing peel the shrimps herself. She is not a three-year-old child. Why would she want to eat it?

It's ready-made. 】

[The people above are all naive. Am I the only one who thinks Shen Qingqing is openly talking to Zhou Jiayan, but is actually hinting that Mr. Zhou should peel shrimp for her? ]

[This cpf also thinks Qingqing is just being coquettish and reminding Mr. Zhou in a roundabout way. ]

[No matter what Shen Qingqing's intention is, I hope Yanyan will reject it severely! ]

Just as everyone was arguing, little Zhou Jiayan did something that surprised everyone.

He put down his chopsticks, and without saying a word, stretched out his chubby little hand, picked up an unpeeled shrimp and started peeling it.

He gave Shen Qingqing a shy smile, "Okay, Yanyan should really repay her mother. I'll peel shrimp for you, but I'm not very good at it, so please don't be disgusted."

As he said that, he began to peel the prawns, but compared to the good-looking whole prawns peeled by Zhou Yexuan, the ones peeled by Zhou Jiayan were horrible, with tiny bits and pieces, and some of the shells were not even completely peeled off, which made people lose their appetite completely.

The child peeled the peel and counted, nodding his head, "1, 2, ... 10."

After peeling the tenth shrimp, Zhou Jiayan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then brought the peeled shrimp to Shen Qingqing and said shyly, "Although I peeled it a little badly, I tried my best."

He even stretched out his little hand to show Shen Qingqing, "Look, my hands are all rubbed red by the shrimp shells."

Then he looked at Shen Qingqing with anticipation and sparkling eyes, as if waiting for her to accept his "filial piety".

When Shen Qingqing saw this, the smile on her face suddenly froze.

She was going crazy inside. On the one hand, she sighed that such a child was so cute. On the other hand, she sighed that the usually smart child had become so stubborn at this time!

Is it really not him who did this on purpose?

The audience in the live broadcast room were laughing like crazy when they saw this scene.

[This is a stroke of genius. I didn't expect that he could control Shen Qingqing in this way. ]

[Shen Qingqing didn't expect that the child was so straightforward that he actually peeled the shrimp for her himself.]

[Although the child was very filial, the appearance of the product was really horrible. ]

[Will Shen Qingqing eat it? Hahaha, this is her own request. ]

Zhou Yexuan, who was sitting nearby, watched the scene in front of him and felt a little amused. He could naturally guess what Shen Qingqing was planning.

He even thought about how he should stop Zhou Jiayan from giving the shrimp he peeled for him to Shen Qingqing.

However, he did not expect that Zhou Jiayan would give him such a big "surprise". When he saw Zhou Jiayan deliberately crush the shrimps when peeling them, he knew that Zhou Jiayan did it on purpose.

He looked at Shen Qingqing with some anticipation, waiting to see how she would deal with the plate of shrimps that the children had peeled.

Shen Qingqing naturally didn't want to take the plate of shrimps, but after all, it was her who proposed it, and the child did as she was told. Besides, if the child saw that his kindness was not accepted, he would definitely be sad.

Shen Qingqing couldn't help but think of the child's bright eyes that had lost their luster, and a sense of guilt arose spontaneously.

And a few days ago, she seemed to have let down Yanyan's expectations.

Thinking like this, after struggling for a while, Shen Qingqing

He still took the plate of shrimp from Zhou Jiayan.

Looking at the broken shrimp meat on the plate, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but close her eyes in pain.

Her performance once again "pleased" everyone.

[Hahaha, Shen Qingqing really exemplifies the saying of shooting oneself in the foot.]

【This mask of pain is so real. 】

[I originally thought Shen Qingqing would just ignore the call, but I didn’t expect her to actually answer it.]

[Don't brag about it upstairs yet, only brag if she can really eat it. ]

After Zhou Jiayan handed the plate over, Zhou Yexuan took out a tissue and began to wipe Zhou Jiayan's juice-stained hands. Of course, he was still observing Shen Qingqing's movements out of the corner of his eye.

So, will she eat it? Will she refuse outright, or will she eat the disgusting shrimps her son peeled for her?

Compared to his father's implicit concern, Zhou Jiayan was much more straightforward. While his father was wiping his hands, he still kept his eyes on Shen Qingqing and said expectantly, "Try it and see if it tastes good. These are the shrimps that Yanyan peeled with a lot of love. I think they will taste even better."

Shen Qingqing was shocked! She had originally thought that if there was no one to supervise, she would just leave it there. Besides, since this shrimp was filled with so much love, why didn't he give it to his dear father?

But after all, it was her own idea, and she has to bear the consequences herself. She has always been brave enough to take responsibility for her actions.

Shen Qingqing took a deep breath, silently thinking that this was also the child's kindness, then she stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of shrimp meat and put it into her mouth.
