Wen Ke’an took a nap on the plane, and by the time she woke up, they were almost at their destination.
Since the celebrity couples in the country lived in different places, they all took planes from different airports.
This time, Wen Ke’an was most looking forward to seeing Shi Chu.
Shi Chu had been very busy recently, and ever since their graduation, they hadn’t seen much of each other.
Before getting off the plane, Wen Ke’an sent Shi Chu a message.
“I’m about to get off the plane. Are you here yet?”
Shi Chu must have been looking at her phone because she replied quickly.
“I’m here. I’m waiting for you at the airport.”
Flying can be quite boring, so the show’s crew didn’t arrange for photographers to follow them during the flight. Instead, they had two staff members from the show to guide them.
Shi Chu said she would wait at the airport, and shortly after Wen Ke’an disembarked, she saw Shi Chu waiting for her. Shi Chu was wearing a simple black jumpsuit and black sunglasses, sitting on her suitcase, playing on her phone.
Next to her stood a man in a black jacket, who at first glance, seemed to be wearing matching outfits with Shi Chu.
Wen Ke’an hadn’t seen Xie Ziyan since graduation. Over the years, she’d heard that Xie Ziyan inherited part of the Xie family’s fortune and started his own tech company, which was doing well.
“Xiaochu!” Wen Ke’an walked over quickly and waved, smiling.
Shi Chu had recently cut her hair short for a film, making her look cool and chic, not at all like a married woman.
“Anan!”
Shi Chu got off her suitcase and walked towards Wen Ke’an with a smile.
Since they got off the plane, Wen Ke’an and Shi Chu were being followed by a fixed camera crew. Wen Ke’an felt a bit uncomfortable at first but slowly began to get used to it and could eventually ignore the cameras.
[OMG, do Wen Ke’an and Shi Chu know each other?] [Yeah, they were college classmates!!] [Wow, beautiful women hang out with other beautiful women.] [Shi Chu finally smiled! Why does it seem like Shi Chu treats Wen Ke’an better than her own husband?] [Yeah, haha, it seems like Shi Chu and her husband aren’t that close. They haven’t talked much since getting on the plane.] [Maybe they had a secret fight that we don’t know about.]Wen Ke’an walked ahead while Gu Ting followed behind with the suitcase. The show didn’t allow them to bring many things, and basic necessities were already prepared by the crew, so Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting only brought one suitcase.
“Ting-ge.” Seeing Gu Ting approach, Xie Ziyan nodded slightly and greeted him politely.
When Xie Ziyan managed to return to the Xie family, Gu Ting had helped a bit, for which Xie Ziyan was still grateful.
Now that everyone had gathered, the crew had prepared a car to take them to their destination. Initially, the plan was for each couple to take one car, but seeing that Wen Ke’an and Shi Chu were chatting happily, they let them arrange themselves.
Wen Ke’an had not seen Shi Chu for a long time. After a brief discussion with Gu Ting, she decided to ride in the same car with Shi Chu.
Shi Chu, on the other hand, was even more straightforward. She got in the car without any interaction with Xie Ziyan.
It seemed Xie Ziyan was used to it as well. He looked at Shi Chu’s back for a while before dragging his large suitcase to get into another car.
[Miss Shi Chu’s temper really hasn’t changed at all. She’s still like this.] [It feels like she’s being disrespectful, but Xie Ziyan is truly patient. He doesn’t even get angry.] [One is willing to take it, and the other is willing to give it.] [Little Xie’s eyes look so pitiful, like a puppy not liked by its owner.]The journey from the airport to the destination was a two-hour drive. Due to the live broadcast, Wen Ke’an dared not discuss sensitive topics. They exchanged a few quiet words in the car, covering their mouths so that the viewers couldn’t guess what they were talking about.
Those staying in the live broadcast either were die-hard fans of Shi Chu and Wen Ke’an or were watching because of their looks.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ting and Xie Ziyan chatted quite happily. Gu Ting, already a father, occasionally discussed childhood stories of his son and how to take care of pregnant women with Xie Ziyan, who listened attentively.
The first stop arranged by the show was a small town at the foot of the Alps. The area was stunning, with beautiful mountains and green lawns visible everywhere.
The drive took about an hour and a half. They finally arrived at the town.
Few cars were seen on the town’s roads; most people traveled by bike or on foot. The car slowed down as it entered the town.
“This place is gorgeous,” Wen Ke’an commented, leaning against the car window.
A few kids playing on skateboards outside waved at Wen Ke’an enthusiastically when they saw her. Wen Ke’an smiled and waved back politely.
[Wow, the scenery here is breathtaking, like a fairy tale.] [An’an’s little action just now was too cute! I’m so jealous of those kids!] [Shi Chu still seems uninterested in beautiful scenery. She looks like she’s about to fall asleep.]After a two-hour drive, the car finally stopped in front of a beautiful house. It was a three-story villa with many flowers growing on the rooftop, the petals swaying gently in the breeze.
“You’ve arrived at the place where you’ll be staying for the next four days. Enjoy your stay,” the show’s staff said.
Gu Ting had already gotten out of the car, and Wen Ke’an walked over to him. “Shall we go inside?” she asked.
Gu Ting replied, “Sure.”
Initially thinking that the other two couples had arrived, Wen Ke’an entered to find the house empty.
“The other two groups are next door. Once they’ve unpacked and rested, we’ll arrange a meeting,” said the staff.
Realizing they wouldn’t all be staying together made Wen Ke’an quite happy.
If there are too many people, conflicts will inevitably increase. She just wanted to have some fun and didn’t want to deal with any troublesome matters.
They briefly toured the house. Though the house wasn’t particularly large, it was cozily decorated.
The house was filled with various beautiful and artistic flowers.
The area on the first floor was quite spacious, mainly consisting of a large living room. The second and third floors were for the bedrooms.
After a short discussion with Shi Chu, Wen Ke’an decided she and Gu Ting would stay on the third floor, while Shi Chu and Xie Ziyan would stay on the second floor.
After resting for a while, it gradually began to get dark.
Wen Ke’an went up to the rooftop to play for a bit. From the vantage point, she could see the nearby mountain range, still dotted with patches of unmelted snow. Below lay expanses of green lawns, pines, and all sorts of beautiful little houses.
The evening breeze was cool and carried a hint of floral fragrance. Such a place could truly lift one’s spirits.
There were no photographers inside the house, but there were cameras installed all around, even on the rooftop.
Wen Ke’an sat on the small swing on the rooftop, looking up at the sky turning dark blue, feeling quite peaceful.
[This little house is so beautiful. I really love this rooftop; it’s so comfortable just looking at it.] [I have to say, the scenery over there is really gorgeous, and An’an looks so beautiful too.] [The dress An’an is wearing today perfectly matches the scenery. How does she still have such a youthful vibe even though she’s already a mom!] [Because her husband spoils her, haha.]After playing on the rooftop for a while, Wen Ke’an was called down. It was dinnertime, and the two couples she hadn’t met before had arrived.
The show team had prepared a large table of famous local delicacies. Behind their villa was a small yard, blossoming with flowers.
The lights in the small yard had already been set up, so they planned to have dinner outside tonight.
Wen Ke’an usually didn’t interact much with people from the entertainment circle. The other two couples consisted of a music duo married for eight years and an actor couple married for fifteen. Compared to them, Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting were a young, newlywed couple.
The personalities of the other two couples were very pleasant; they were like cheerful older siblings.
After dinner, it was already late.
Everyone dispersed early, returning to their rooms to rest.
Wen Ke’an took a quick shower, but it was still too early for her usual bedtime.
The bedroom was large enough to be a small living room, equipped with a projector, sofa, and tea table.
Since she couldn’t sleep, Wen Ke’an turned on the projector to watch a movie.
When Gu Ting came upstairs with some fruit, he saw her sitting cross-legged on the sofa, hugging a small cushion, and engrossed in the movie.
Wen Ke’an was watching an animated film with a very fresh and gentle animation style.
“Honey!”
Seeing Gu Ting return, Wen Ke’an waved at him with a smile.
After meals, Wen Ke’an usually likes to have some fruit, especially during season changes. If she doesn’t, she feels very thirsty and her throat hurts easily.
Gu Ting had just gone downstairs to cut some fruit for her. He placed the sliced fruit on the coffee table, reached for a small blanket, and covered her legs before saying, “There isn’t any fruit you like here. We’ll buy some tomorrow.”
Wen Ke’an glanced down and felt it was not a big deal since she wasn’t very picky about food. Although she didn’t prefer it, she could still eat it.
“Alright, we’ll go for a stroll tomorrow!” Wen Ke’an patted the spot next to her, signaling him to sit down.
Gu Ting couldn’t help but smile and then sat beside her.
Wen Ke’an tilted her head and leaned directly on his shoulder.
[Oh my, this is so sweet.] [These two are so natural and sweet together, I also love sticking to my husband.] [Gu Ting’s gaze is so doting, it doesn’t look fake at all.] [Did you guys notice that whenever Gu Ting looks at An’an, he can’t help but smile? It’s so sweet!]After finishing her fruit and the movie, Wen Ke’an was about to cover the room’s camera to sleep when she received a message from the show’s team.
“Our task for tomorrow is here.” Wen Ke’an looked at Gu Ting after reading the message, “We need to wake up early tomorrow to buy some daily necessities in the nearby town.”
The show team had already listed the items needed, and the task was light, perfect for a trip to the town at the mountain’s base.
“Alright, let’s sleep early tonight,” Gu Ting said softly with a smile.
Wen Ke’an suddenly leaned down and kissed his face, “Good night, hubby.”
In the morning, Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting woke up around seven. There was no movement from Shi Chu’s room upstairs yet, indicating they were still asleep, so Wen Ke’an didn’t disturb them.
After a simple cleanup, Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting left the house.
It was just dawn, and there were elderly people exercising outside.
Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting first had breakfast at a nearby shop and then rented a bicycle to ride downhill.
There was no bus service, but each town had a small station where a scheduled train would pass by.
The morning air was fresh, and Wen Ke’an took a deep breath, smiling, “The morning temperature is so comfortable.”
Not only was the temperature comfortable, but the scenery was also beautiful. The rising sun bathed the town in warm light, giving it a gentle glow.
Gu Ting checked the bike, got on, and rode with Wen Ke’an sitting on the seat behind him. She leaned forward slightly, gently resting on his back.
The scenery along the road was stunning, and Wen Ke’an’s dress was gently lifted by the breeze. The two chatted softly and laughed happily.
[Wow, this scene is so beautiful.]【An’an’s little dress today is so beautiful, and An’an herself is also beautiful.】
【This is so heartwarming, I also want to have a boyfriend.】
It took about half an hour on the road, and around 8:30, Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting finally arrived at the small town at the foot of the mountain. The small town at the foot of the mountain was visibly more crowded, just in time for work hours, and you could see many people with backpacks holding a cup of coffee walking along the wide roads.
“The furniture store should be open by now. Let’s go there first and take a look,” Wen Ke’an suggested.
This country places a lot of emphasis on quality of life, so the furniture stores are filled with various exquisite small ornaments and mini furnitures. The show didn’t have any specific requirements on what kind of furniture to buy, as long as the guests liked it, they could buy it.
The furniture was all very cute, but since it would be difficult to carry too many items, Wen Ke’an only picked a few small ones.
After coming out, they wandered around the small town. There were some patisseries and coffee shops, and Wen Ke’an even saw a chocolate shop.
Wen Ke’an liked eating sweet pastries and really liked chocolate, so as soon as she saw these things, she couldn’t control her desire to buy them.
The pastries here were made very delicately and tasted very good. Wen Ke’an felt she could eat them in one bite.
Going shopping with Gu Ting meant she could just pick what she liked to eat and Gu Ting would handle the bill.
“Honey, I want this and this and this.” Wen Ke’an lay down on the chocolate counter, pointing at various chocolates, then looked up at Gu Ting and asked with a smile, “Okay?”
The chocolate shop offered various handmade chocolates, which looked so delicious to Wen Ke’an.
On one hand, Wen Ke’an felt she couldn’t resist the allure of chocolate, but on the other hand, she felt like she had already consumed a lot of sweets today.
“We’ll be having lunch soon, so eat a little less.”
After saying that, Gu Ting started to skillfully negotiate the packaging with the store clerk in English, for the chocolates she picked.
Anyway, since they bought them, she could eat them eventually, if not today, then tomorrow!
After Gu Ting paid, Wen Ke’an happily hugged a big bunch of chocolates and walked out of the chocolate shop.
【Hahaha, having a husband who pays is really great~!】
【That chocolate shop is quite expensive. A box of chocolates costs several hundred, really wealthy people.】
【I don’t know why, but watching them spend money like this brings some inexplicable satisfaction.】
【Ahhh, Little Gu is really so doting, I’m so envious, ugh.】
Because she had eaten a lot of sweets in the morning and had a cup of coffee, Wen Ke’an wasn’t hungry at all.
However, Gu Ting had eaten very little in the morning, and he hadn’t eaten anything for the rest of the morning. Worried that Gu Ting might be hungry, Wen Ke’an pulled Gu Ting to the small town’s commercial street before it was even noon.
The commercial street here was different from back home; no small roadside stalls were allowed, and everything was in stores.
It was just about lunchtime now, so various small shops were already open. People here took more pride in refinement, with the storefronts on the commercial street beautifully decorated.
Wen Ke’an bought some local delicacies here, but most of the time, she just took a few bites before giving them to Gu Ting.
“Gu Ting!” Wen Ke’an suddenly noticed a peculiar ice cream shop while walking. She looked up at Gu Ting, discreetly pointed in its direction, and whispered, “Want to check it out?”
“Your period is coming soon,” Gu Ting reminded her softly after seeing the store’s name.
“There are still a few days.” Wen Ke’an still wanted to go. She tugged Gu Ting’s hand, shaking it, “I’ll just buy one.”
Gu Ting pretended to be unmoved.
“I’ll only take one bite.”
Wen Ke’an looked at him pitifully, “Just one bite.”
【An’an’s little expression is so pitiful.】
【How could little Gu refuse! Buy it! Get it for her!】
【Husbands of other people surely are better. My husband never remembers when my period is coming.】
In the end, Gu Ting compromised and was pulled into the shop by Wen Ke’an.
This shop had a lot of different kinds of ice cream, all looking quite delicious, though they were small in size.
Wen Ke’an pored over the menu for a while, then looked up at Gu Ting and said, “They look small, should we buy two?”
Gu Ting said, “No need, one is enough.”
Wen Ke’an bought an ice cream and after two bites, was satisfied.
It’s best if she doesn’t eat cold things before her period, or she would definitely have a stomachache on the first day.
“I’ve finished.”
Though a bit reluctant, Wen Ke’an handed the ice cream to Gu Ting obediently.
The ice cream was small but quite pricey.
To avoid waste, Wen Ke’an decided to let Gu Ting help finish it.
【I’ve realized, our little Gu is just an emotionless trash bin, haha.】
【An’an’s actions are too natural, and Gu Ting eating it is also too natural. They must do this often in private.】
【An’an clearly hasn’t had enough; her reluctant expression is just too cute.】
By the afternoon, they had almost bought everything they needed. Having played all day, Wen Ke’an felt a bit tired and wanted to go home early to rest.
Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting took a small train back home. The train wasn’t fast, but the scenery was beautiful.
Just as it happened, there were staff around to help return the bicycle they rented in the morning.
Wen Ke’an got home right at dusk. She had a light meal and returned to her room. After changing into her pajamas, she lay on the bed, not wanting to move.
“Tired?” Gu Ting came over and massaged her shoulders.
“A little,” Wen Ke’an said weakly.
However, thinking they gained something from the outing, Wen Ke’an smiled and said, “But it was quite fun.”
Having gone out the first day, Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting had no tasks to do on the second day.
They could arrange their time freely.
Wen Ke’an decided to sleep in.
It was already 9 AM when she lazily got up and washed.
Gu Ting wasn’t in the room early in the morning, no one knew where he went.
After washing and getting dressed, Wen Ke’an prepared to go downstairs to find Gu Ting. But instead of finding him, she saw Shi Chu smoking on the second-floor balcony.
Shi Chu was standing alone on the balcony, surrounded by faint smoke.
When Wen Ke’an walked closer, she could smell a faint trace of smoke.
Shi Chu used to smoke but quit in her sophomore year of college. Wen Ke’an rarely saw her smoking in the years after that.
Sensing her footsteps, Shi Chu turned to look.
Wen Ke’an approached her, “What’s wrong, feeling down?”
Shi Chu lowered her gaze slightly but instinctively stubbed out the cigarette.
“I’m okay.” Shi Chu glanced at her and softly asked, “Does the smoke bother you?”
Shi Chu still remembered Wen Ke’an didn’t like the smell of smoke. After speaking, she opened the window a bit wider.
“A little bit.”
In a soft voice, Shi Chu said, “Sorry.”
“It’s okay,” Wen Ke’an smiled and replied, “Smoking is bad for your health.”
“Hmm.” Shi Chu didn’t say anything else, just softly responded.
Wen Ke’an stayed on the balcony with Shi Chu for a while. Shi Chu had a very strong personality; even if she was very upset, she wouldn’t admit it unless absolutely necessary.
“Are you upset because of family matters?” Wen Ke’an asked quietly.
The issues in Shi Chu’s family weren’t really a secret. Just like in her previous life, her family encountered some problems. But there was a difference: in this life, Shi Chu was already married to Xie Ziyan, who would protect her.
“Yes, the family matters are very frustrating.” Shi Chu looked down from the balcony.
Xie Ziyan was out for something and had just returned.
Wen Ke’an followed Shi Chu’s gaze downward for a moment and then heard Shi Chu softly say, “And Xie Ziyan.”
Shi Chu’s words carried a lot of weight. Wen Ke’an instinctively looked around to check for any cameras.
If this conversation were broadcasted, the internet would surely buzz with a storm of discussions.
Fortunately, this place was relatively private; the production team hadn’t set up cameras around.
Wen Ke’an wasn’t very clear about the details of Shi Chu and Xie Ziyan’s relationship. However, from observing over the past few days, she could tell that Xie Ziyan still treated Shi Chu very well, but Shi Chu’s attitude remained elusive.
“Do you not like him?” Wen Ke’an cautiously asked.
Shi Chu didn’t reply immediately.
She actually felt a bit lost.
“I don’t know.” After a while, Shi Chu said, “He has helped me a lot, but I don’t know why he does it.”
“Because you are his wife,” Wen Ke’an said.
Shi Chu lowered her eyes slightly, and after a moment of thought, she softly spoke, “I wasn’t good to him before, and I’m still not good to him now.”
“But he has always treated me very well.”
“…”
“Have you thought about spending the rest of your life with him?” Wen Ke’an looked at Shi Chu and asked gently.
Shi Chu was a very clear-headed and decisive girl.
Wen Ke’an felt that Shi Chu had already made up her mind in her heart.
“He is a very good man,” Shi Chu said lightly, “I would be a burden to him.”
After lunch, Shi Chu went out with Xie Ziyan to complete a task.
Shi Chu is relatively lazy by nature, and as she grows older, she increasingly dislikes going out. She had no tasks yesterday and stayed at home sleeping all day, without stepping outside.
Wen Ke’an was on the rooftop enjoying the breeze, from where she could see Xie Ziyan and Shi Chu below.
“Do you think they…”
Gu Ting stood beside her. Wen Ke’an instinctively wanted to talk to him, but midway, she remembered there were surveillance cameras around, so she quickly clammed up.
Even though Wen Ke’an did not finish her sentence, Gu Ting knew what she wanted to say.
“Rest assured,” Gu Ting said, “Xie Ziyan won’t give up easily.”
—
Wen Ke’an found herself bored in the afternoon. From the rooftop, she noticed the old grandpa next door working alone in the garden, trying to fix a rather high railing. It was risky for the elderly man to stand on a chair doing the job alone. Since Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting had nothing pressing to do, they decided to help him.
The old grandpa lived alone and was particularly fond of small animals, keeping many in his garden. Wen Ke’an had been curious about the neighbor’s yard, having observed it from the rooftop yesterday. Today she saw a perfect opportunity to check it out.
The old man was exceptionally kind and cheerful. Grateful for their help, he greeted them warmly. Due to his age, even a little labor tired him out, and by the time Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting arrived, his face was covered in sweat.
Repairing the railing wasn’t difficult for Gu Ting, but there were many sections to fix. It took him over half an hour to complete the work.
Wen Ke’an stood by, holding the stool steady for Gu Ting to prevent any accidents.
“Thank you for your hard work,” Wen Ke’an said softly, looking up at him after they finished, “Let me wipe your sweat.”
At that moment, there was a small stone right in front of her. If unnoticed, she could have tripped over it. Instinctively, Gu Ting put his arm around her waist, pulling her to the side.
This scene was broadcast live, and to ensure the audience understood what happened, the cameraman gave the small stone a close-up.
[Oh, so sweet! Even after so long, they’re still this cute. Absolutely adorable.]【I suddenly feel these two people are becoming more and more natural; some of their actions are unconscious.】
【Gu Ting always subconsciously protects our An’an; ah, I am satisfied with this son-in-law!】
After finishing the work, the grandpa insisted they stay for dinner.
Although it was still early and Wen Ke’an wasn’t really hungry, it was hard to refuse the grandpa’s kindness, so she had a simple meal at his house.
As it gradually became darker, with grandpa’s permission, Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting strolled around the small courtyard. The grandpa seemed to be someone who loved cleanliness; he had kept the courtyard very tidy.
He kept two cats, a dog, a few small parrots, and hamsters.
The dog in the courtyard was a Labrador, very gentle in nature. Upon seeing Wen Ke’an, it nudged her leg affectionately.
The two short-haired cats were a silver tabby and a golden tabby. The golden tabby was rather aloof and didn’t like to get close to strangers. The silver tabby, on the other hand, was the complete opposite, very clingy and wanting to be held.
Wherever Wen Ke’an went, the silver tabby followed, meowing continuously at her.
The grandpa also grew many flowers in the courtyard, which were beautifully and warmly arranged.
It had been a long time since Wen Ke’an played with cats. She squatted in a little corner playing with the silver tabby for quite a while.
The grandpa, having finished tidying up, came out to cool off.
Gu Ting chatted with the grandpa at the door.
Wen Ke’an always felt that the local dialect made the conversation a bit hard to understand at times, but Gu Ting seemed to grasp it perfectly.
【Hahaha, I can’t believe I watched An’an playing with the cat for twenty minutes.】
【Fluffy animals are just too adorable; I want to cuddle them.】
【This scenery is so beautiful and heartwarming; this is the life I yearn for.】
【Did you notice that even while chatting, little Gu kept glancing at An’an from time to time? Ah, not being able to take his eyes off his wife is just too sweet!】
While wandering around the courtyard, Wen Ke’an was led by the Labrador to a small hidden corner that she hadn’t noticed before.
Upon closer look, she found several little rabbits there.
The grandpa probably worried about the rabbits making a mess, so he had created a small designated area for them.
In the little corner, there were two larger rabbits and five particularly small ones. They looked like they had just been born.
“A-Ting!” Wen Ke’an called out to Gu Ting with some surprise.
Soon, Gu Ting and Grandpa came over.
Wen Ke’an pointed and said with a smile, “Look, such little bunnies!”
Grandpa also smiled and said something, which Wen Ke’an understood this time.
Grandpa meant that the little bunnies were less than a month old.
With Grandpa’s permission, Wen Ke’an dared to reach out and pick up one of the little bunnies.
Perhaps it was the fearlessness of the newborn, but the little bunny was not afraid of her.
It even stared at her with its big, innocent eyes.
Looking into the little bunny’s eyes, Wen Ke’an suddenly thought of her son, Xiangxiang. He often looked at her with those big, innocent eyes.
Wen Ke’an gently touched the little bunny’s ears. “Just like Xiangxiang when he was little.”
Although Wen Ke’an was softly talking to herself, Gu Ting still heard her.
He walked over to her, looking down, “Missing our son?”
“Mm.” Wen Ke’an nodded.
It had only been three days since they left, but it felt like they had been apart for several months.
“How about making a video call?” Gu Ting suggested.
As soon as Gu Ting finished speaking, Wen Ke’an was already taking out her phone.
While opening the video call, she muttered to herself, “I wonder if Mom and Dad are home from work yet. Xiangxiang had been at the company for the past few days.”
The video call connected quickly, and they saw that the family was having dinner.
Wen Ke’an noticed that there were many dishes on the table, perhaps because someone special had visited today.
The first face Wen Ke’an saw was Liu Qing’s. She greeted with a smile, “Mom.”
“An’an, how’s the trip? Is it cold there? It’s been getting colder here.” Liu Qing couldn’t help but start to chatter as soon as she saw her daughter.
“The scenery here is nice. I bought some small gifts for you.”
As soon as Wen Ke’an finished speaking, a little voice came from the video, “Mommy!”
“Xiangxiang~” Wen Ke’an called out with a smile.
Xiangxiang’s little head popped up on the screen, “Mommy, are you missing me?”
“Yes, Mom misses you a lot.”
“Mom, you should hang in there! When you come back, you can see Xiangxiang!” Xiangxiang earnestly encouraged.
“Don’t you miss Mom?” Wen Ke’an asked deliberately.
“I miss you, Mom, but Xiangxiang said before that we shouldn’t disturb Mom and Dad, and we need to give you space!” Though young, Xiangxiang had a good memory and strong logical thinking.
Before Wen Ke’an could speak, Liu Qing’s voice came from the video call, “This little one was just saying she was hungry. The moment you started the video call, she stopped eating and ran over to chat with you.”
“Xiangxiang isn’t hungry anymore. Seeing Mom makes me so happy that I’m not hungry,” said the little one. Suddenly, she asked, “Mom, where’s Dad?”
Knowing the little one also missed her dad, Wen Ke’an quickly adjusted the camera. Gu Ting was standing right next to her, but hadn’t been visible before.
“Dad!” Xiangxiang exclaimed happily.
“Eat properly and don’t be picky, understand?” Gu Ting always spoke with a hint of sternness, but his eyes were full of gentleness.
“Got it, Xiangxiang isn’t picky at all!” the little one proudly said, “Xiangxiang eats everything.”
Wen Ke’an showed Xiangxiang her cute little rabbit toy. Knowing that Xiangxiang hadn’t finished her meal and was probably still hungry, Wen Ke’an said, “Finish up your meal first, and then I’ll video call you again, okay?”
“Okay~” the little one obediently agreed, “Mom, take care of yourself so I don’t worry.”
Not sure where Xiangxiang learned it, but she now spoke like a little adult, “Dad, make sure to take care of Mom!”
Then Xiangxiang added, “And take care of yourself too!”
This conversation happened to be broadcasted live.
The viewers in the livestream could only hear Xiangxiang’s voice.
It was prime time, so the viewership was already high. The number of viewers skyrocketed as soon as they saw Xiangxiang calling in.
Everyone knew that Wen Ke’an and Gu Ting had a child but the baby was well-protected and never shown to the public.
This time, hearing the baby’s cute voice, many fans were thrilled.
[Oh my God, what an adorable baby! Such a cute, sweet voice.] [Do such well-behaved babies exist? So cute!!!] [My child doesn’t even care about me, just finds ways to upset me!]【An’an really doesn’t look like a mom who has given birth.】
—
Early in the morning, Wen Ke’an received the task from the show, which was scheduled for the evening.
“A-Ting, we have an event tonight. Four couples will have a small gathering,” Wen Ke’an said to Gu Ting after reading the task details. “We can go out and buy some food during the day.”
Soon, evening arrived, and the show crew set up the gathering on a nearby small lawn.
The crew had already prepared various necessary utensils and ingredients.
The main activity of the evening was to eat, drink a little, and chat together.
However, just chatting would be too boring and not exciting at all. So, the show crew decided to have them play a game.
A very classic game: Truth or Dare.
The crew found a small cup, and everyone had to pass the cup around. A staff member, facing away from them, would randomly shout “stop.” Whoever was holding the cup at that moment would have to start the Truth or Dare.
To be honest, the show crew knew well what the audience wanted to see.
Not long after the game started, the number of people in each live stream room began to spike.
Xie Ziyan wasn’t very lucky; the cup ended up in his hands on the first round.
“Hahaha, Ziyan, do you choose truth or dare?” The singer sitting opposite Shi Chu asked with a smile.
Xie Ziyan replied calmly, “Dare.”
“Let us think…” The singer discussed briefly with the people next to her before smiling and saying, “Kiss your wife!”
…
Wen Ke’an hadn’t expected the game to get so stimulating right from the start.
She was also curious if Xie Ziyan would dare to touch Shi Chu.
Sitting next to Shi Chu, Wen Ke’an couldn’t see Xie Ziyan’s expression. But as time passed, Xie Ziyan didn’t make any moves.
The actress next to them prompted, “It’s just a kiss, you’re married, it’s legal! Don’t be afraid, Little Xie, hahaha!”
Xie Ziyan looked sideways at Shi Chu and quietly asked, “Can I?”
【Ahhh, hurry up and kiss! Why are you hesitating, where’s your boldness!】
【Little Xie is seriously under his wife’s control, hahaha, probably scared of kneeling on the keyboard at home!】
【Yes, yes, yes!!!】
As soon as Xie Ziyan’s words fell, Shi Chu suddenly turned sideways and lightly kissed him on the lips, looking slightly up.
A burst of cheering arose around them.
Xie Ziyan’s body completely stiffened.
The usually calm look in his eyes finally showed a hint of unusual emotion.
A bit of surprise, a bit of delight.
【Ahhhh, Shi Chu is so good at this!】
【I’m blushing so hard, this kiss is too sweet.】
【President Xie doesn’t dare to kiss his own wife, but he clearly wants to so badly.】
【Little Xie looks so excited he’s completely stiffened.】
Wen Ke’an was just munching on snacks and enjoying the show, but unexpectedly, the cup was passed to her the second time.
“Truth or dare?”
Wen Ke’an chose truth.
The singer sister smiled and asked, “When did you meet your first love, and are you still in touch?”
As soon as this question was asked, the live chat went wild, saying that the singer sister was really good at stirring things up.
Too good at making things interesting.
Wen Ke’an was stunned for a moment, then glanced sideways at Gu Ting, and slowly replied, “I met my first love in high school. We’re still in touch.”
“”
After Wen Ke’an finished speaking, everyone present turned their eyes to Gu Ting.
Typical of onlookers to enjoy the drama.
【Oh my, oh my, Young Master Gu is already expressionless.】
【Jealous, he’s definitely jealous!!】
【Hahaha, An’an even had a high school romance!!】
It seemed like some divine retribution, as the third and fourth time, the cup passed to the singer sister.
Finally, on the fifth round, the cup was passed to Gu Ting.
Gu Ting also chose truth.
This time, the actor brother asked the question.
“The time and place of your first kiss with An’an!”
“”
【Exciting, exciting, hahaha!】
【I really want to know too. I’m guessing it was in college!】
【I think it was college too!! Blindly guessing under a girls’ dorm!】
【I’m betting on the sports field!!!!】
Gu Ting looked at Wen Ke’an, then lowered his eyes and smiled lightly before saying, “It was in high school.”
“No way, An’an’s first love wasn’t you, right?” The singer sister was shocked.
“Wow, wow, where was it exactly?” The actress sister followed up.
Gu Ting: “At her home.”
“”
