Chapter 155 Listen to this, is this even human language?
Before transmigrating here, because he was always traveling all over the world, accumulating a lot of packages was normal for Xia Mian.
But back then, he was spending his parents' money, so he didn't feel guilty. Now, however, he's spending Zhou Pingchuan's money.
They came together out of their own needs, without any emotional foundation, and are now on the verge of divorce...
As she dismantled the items, Xia Mian felt ashamed of her extravagance.
As a result, Zhou Pingchuan sent a huge number of gifts. Xia Mian was a little confused. What did he mean? Was he... trying to comfort her?
Or is he expressing that he's so angry he's about to explode?
At this point, viewers commented while opening the treasure chest: "So even Z, the boss, enjoys watching shopping hauls!"
[They even praised Mianmian for her extravagant spending, hahaha!]
Hey bro, I see your profile says you're male. You like both boys and girls, huh? I can be just as extravagant too. Just send me the money, and I'll splurge every day for you to see.
[Tsk, someone like Mianmian, besides Jay Chou, is someone very few people could afford to keep. That "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains" he just mentioned was a copy by Zhang Daqian, which sold for HK$370 million. After the auction, it was just left in a warehouse for two months without being touched. So, is Boss Z really okay with that?]
After spending a couple of days together and getting to know each other better, the viewers in the live stream have gone from initially admiring Z to automatically considering him a fellow enthusiast, and they speak much more casually than before.
Xia Mian thought Zhou Pingchuan wouldn't respond to the audience; he always focused only on himself and ignored outside opinions.
To everyone's surprise, Z replied quickly and succinctly: "I can afford to raise them."
Audience: [Damn, another super-rich guy!]
Hey bro, take a look at me, I'm a pro at spending money too.
Look at me! I can not only spend money, but I can also dance. It's just that I'm not as pretty as Mianmian. You can be with me with your eyes closed, hahaha!
[I'm a college student, please send me money!]
What was supposed to be a perfectly good live stream turned into a massive matchmaking event. Xia Mian was stunned, and her mind was in turmoil.
It wasn't because of the audience's joking "proposal," but because of Zhou Pingchuan's statement, "I can afford to support you." Now that their marriage is nearing its end, what does saying all this signify?
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, let's continue.
Xia Mian pulled over a bunch of small packages. He had no recollection of these packages. When he opened them, he found that they were gifts and lookbooks from various brands.
He took all the gifts out, divided them into two groups, and gave them away to the viewers in the live stream through a lottery. One group was limited to fans who had followed him for more than 3 days—that is, long-time fans—while the other group was open to anyone who had followed him.
The gifts included a wide variety of items, from ordinary brands to luxury goods. There was even a bag that Xia Mian had mistakenly bought as a women's version, which was also included as a bonus. As a result, a large influx of viewers flooded into the live stream, including many new accounts. Xia Mian's live stream reached its peak viewership since the account was launched, and the platform's daily active users also reached their peak in recent years. It was a win-win situation for both parties, resulting in a great deal of success.
The unboxing took up a lot of time, and after setting up the giveaway, the live stream was nearing its end. Xia Mian said goodbye to the viewers, and just then, the housekeeper announced that dinner was ready.
Zhou Pingchuan has arrived home.
Xia Mian's original plan was to have a nice dinner with Zhou Pingchuan and then discuss the divorce in detail, hoping to part amicably. He didn't want to provoke the villainous boss.
When he heard the phrase "I can afford to raise them," he became a little unsettled.
It wasn't out of curiosity about Zhou Pingchuan's thoughts, but rather a desire to avoid further entanglement. A swift and decisive approach was the better course of action for both him and Zhou Pingchuan.
Xia Mian took a deep breath and walked back to Building 14 without hesitation. He couldn't wait for an amicable parting and planned to resolve all the troubles at the dinner table.
The Longxi Restaurant was decorated very romantically, with a floor-to-ceiling window facing the courtyard, allowing diners to enjoy the scenery while they ate. But before even entering, Xia Mian's eyes showed a hint of confusion when she saw Zhou Pingchuan sitting at the table through the glass window.
To maintain a serious and composed image, Zhou Pingchuan always wore formal attire, year-round. But today, he had changed into a jacket, paired with dark jeans. His hair wasn't combed up as usual; he just tousled it, letting his bangs fall casually across his forehead. He looked young and handsome, with a touch of carefree and unrestrained charm.
People often say that Zhou Pingchuan is better looking than movie stars. Xia Mian agrees that he is "good-looking", but she never agrees that he is "better looking than movie stars".
Zhou Pingchuan's looks are undeniable; he has never seen anyone with better bone structure and appearance than Zhou Pingchuan (except himself). However, an actor's charm does not lie in their appearance, but in their versatility. A qualified actor must be able to convincingly portray any role.
Xia Mian always felt that Zhou Pingchuan was rigid, confined to the "ruthless CEO" framework set for him by the original author of "Love in the Palm".
Only now did Xia Mian realize that, given Zhou Pingchuan's ability to adapt to different looks, if he were to further his acting skills, there might not be any other actors who could compete with him (except for herself).
Therefore, God is fair. Because Zhou Pingchuan was too perfect, He gave him a leg that was different from ordinary people, and scars on his arms.
Zhou Pingchuan, who was sitting at the table, drinking his pre-dinner drink and waiting for someone, had no idea that he had received the highest praise from an actor.
Feeling the gaze upon him, he turned to the side, smiled, and raised his glass to Xia Mian.
"Pah, so sleazy." Xia Mian cursed inwardly and hurried into the house.
"Why is Third Master in the mood to come to my live stream again today?" Xia Mian pulled out a chair and asked.
"I was bored on the way back, so I was killing time."
“It’s fine to kill time, but please stop sending me gifts,” Xia Mian felt she needed to remind him. “The money you spend on gifts is split 50/50 between me and the platform. My share goes into the agency’s account and will only be transferred on the fixed settlement date each month. In other words, by the time we finish the formalities, that money may not even be in my hands.”
It's not considered marital property, so Zhou Pingchuan won't get any of it in the divorce settlement; Chun Chun is the one who earns his salary.
Zhou Pingchuan completely ignored the topic of money, instead raising his left eyebrow with an innocent look in his eyes: "Forms? What forms?"
Xia Mian was speechless for a moment: "Divorce proceedings."
Zhou Pingchuan looked completely innocent: "When did I say I wanted a divorce? I have a disability, and I finally found someone who doesn't mind. How could I possibly get a divorce? Even my wet nurse wouldn't allow it."
aestivation:"???"
No, listen to this! Is this even human language?
