Chapter 1336: Sharp-tongued Tsundere Celebrity & Super-Rich Insecure Wife 13

Shen Shi's approach is indeed fitting for his career's upswing, and it suits Jin Chen, who is tangled in black scandals.

So Shen Shi couldn't fathom why Jin Chen had still been dissatisfied before, even arguing with him for many days over a minor variety show regular spot.

By now, Shen Shi still hasn't gotten an answer from Jin Chen.

Jin Chen nodded, readily accepting this reason, and didn't argue about it as he used to.

"Cough... what was it!" Lin Cheng was reminded by Xiang Xiaoyu's elbow jab, quickly changed the subject: "Jin Chen, it's your turn."

Jin Chen and the slightly doubtful Shen Shi glanced at each other for a few seconds, then looked away and slightly lowered their eyes.

"Actually... going to the movie room after our fights was fake."

"I'll leave through the villa's side door, then think about whether to go back."

Shen Shi: "..."

He lowered his voice, and in an instant his disappointment and confusion poured out: "Don't you even want to go home?"

Jin Chen: "Then I always go back anyway, don't I?"

He suddenly laughed, as if self-mocking.

"Anyway, if I don't go home, I don't know where else I could go—you know my whereabouts better than anyone."

Shen Shi's breath hitched, and even his wrapped wrist, lying flat, trembled slightly.

Yes, he had placed people around Jin Chen, but that was just... out of fear of any danger.

So, was Jin Chen arguing with him so many times before because he felt he lacked freedom?

Shen Shi: "If my... protection makes you unhappy, why didn't you tell me?"

Jin Chen's eyes flickered, showing a hint of calmness; compared to Shen Shi's emotional ups and downs, when he brought this up he spoke plainly.

"I wouldn't dare."

Upon saying that, Jin Chen's calmness also revealed a hint of restraint, making him look somewhat sullen.

Cheng Yi's expression, as if watching a show, suddenly shifted; he looked at Jin Chen with keen interest, even feeling a bit regretful.

If only Jin Chen were still single—compared to the bland Chu Yin, Jin Chen... really fits his ideal partner.

Jin Chen's reaction once again reminded Shen Shi of how people around him treated Jin Chen, leaving him feeling awful and at a loss for words.

The misunderstandings and unspeakable things between them were far too many.

Whenever they are brought up, they inevitably bring the pain of reopening old wounds.

Shen Shi didn't want to expose these in front of the camera, so he fell silent for a moment and stopped responding.

He just thought in his heart that they needed a suitable time and place to dissect the past.

〖Damn... if there were no cameras, these two would definitely be fighting! 〗

〖What does Jin Chen even have to be angry about?? 〗

〖If he weren't married to Shen Shi, Jin Chen would probably still be a nobody?? Actually feeling too controlled? 〗

〖Ah... but marriage really does need mutual space, right? According to Jin Chen's saying, Shen Shi hasn't given him any freedom at all. 〗

〖Laughable—wanting Shen Shi's resources while refusing to be managed, letting him take all the benefits?? Total hypocrite, a huge scumbag! 〗

〖Jin Chen, don't be so ungrateful... I don't know what you're being pretentious about. 〗

〖By the way, I think they have communication issues (?), but actually they're just caring for each other. 〗

The Program Team's design intention for this segment was achieved; bullet comments exploded in discussion over it, and after the segment ended they moved to Weibo to continue analyzing—it could practically be called a segment for haters to vent.

Within the frame, seeing the two about to argue again, Lin Cheng patted Jin Chen's shoulder as a silent cue.

Jin Chen took off the lie detector crystal and told Lin Cheng: "You go find the clues outside, I'll coax the person."

Lin Cheng chuckled, "Got it."

Bai Qing nodded, words failing him: "Sure, you... do your best."

Chu Yin thought they were delaying progress, but given Shen Shi's position, he was merely an actor on the surface, so he didn't say anything.

Jin Chen went around the table, taking the silent Shen Shi's hand to avoid the camera and into a corner of the room, as if the person who had just looked downcast wasn't him.

"Temporary truce, no arguing."

Shen Shi's eyes twitched, he laughed angrily, but he still felt awful.

He flung himself into Jin Chen's embrace, his heart feeling sour and numb, full of grievance with nowhere to vent.

"Don't cry, we'll talk tonight."

Jin Chen ruffled his hair.

"Sorry..." Shen Shi's voice was muffled, utterly defeated: "I thought... I had already done everything I could for you."

Jin Chen's pale lips twitched upward: "Shen Shi, you need to relearn how to date."

But those words took on another meaning in Shen Shi's heart.

Shen Shi froze, his beautiful eyes suddenly widening, his voice trembling: "We're already married!"

"You idiot, I of course know."

Jin Chen pinched his face half-heartedly, not using much force: "Your thought process has gotten pretty quick, though."

"... I won't."

Shen Shi, who strategizes in the business world, is completely clueless about romance; he doesn't know how to go about it and lacks good examples to learn from.

"I'll teach you."

Jin Chen lowered his head and bumped his forehead against Shen Shi's, smiling in a tsundere, smug way: "First step: hug before getting angry, then give a kiss."

Shen Shi: "..."

Director Shen, over thirty, truly takes learning romance to heart.

Even if Jin Chen might be teaching haphazardly.

Shen Shi lightly kissed the corner of Jin Chen's lips, then closed his eyes, leaning against his neck, silently seeking comfort.

Still feeling that I wasn't good enough, that's why I let Jin Chen be unhappy in this relationship, but... I really don't know what to do.

The bitterness in my heart was like vines coiling around the heart; Shen Shi was bound so tightly he could barely breathe, only when he got close like this to Jin Chen did he get a brief respite.

"Jin Chen! We found the password to open this door! Come quickly!"

Lin Cheng shouted at the doorway.

Jin Chen ruffled Shen Shi's hair again, "Let's go."

【Host, more people are scolding you online! Should I intervene!】 0731 rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists.

【No need for now, we'll talk in a few days.】 Jin Chen walked ahead; upon entering the corridor, it remained long and dark, and he tightly gripped Shen Shi's hand.

【Hehe I get it~ no destruction, no construction! Leave it to me, no worries!】

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, finding it surprising, 【Quite smart.】

【I've always been a smart top!】

0731 turned over, its four fluffy snow-white claws digging at the wood that had been pulled out from Jin Chen's spatial storage.

Wood shavings gradually fell all over the ground; 0731 shook its head, exhausted and sprawled on the ground, looking like a snow biscuit.

【Host, ah, my claws have been super itchy lately!】

Jin Chen found the door at the end of the corridor; hearing that, he glanced at the sea of consciousness space, and his mouth twitched.

【You......】 How did you turn into a mop!

This little one not only grew claws, but also grew a lot more beast fur, especially those tufts of rainbow fur.

0731 innocently rolled over, its cute bean-like eyes blinking back and forth.

Jin Chen scanned 0731's whole body with his spiritual sense, finding nothing wrong.

【Go see White Marsh.】

After all, the core is still a system, and Jin Chen had no recourse.

【Okay!! Host, goodbye!】

Jin Chen, who still had things left unsaid, only saw a snow-white mop flash by and disappear beside the teleportation gate.

Not to be retained, not to be retained.
