Chapter 1351

The gathering ended with Anyong being completely driven out; Lusixuan's expression was awkward and bleak, yet he composed his emotions in a moment, and no matter how turbulent his inner feelings, at least on the surface he appeared calm.

Jin Chen watched as his own wife comforted Director Lu, and couldn't help but sigh.

Keeping joy and anger from showing on one's face is truly a necessary skill for every tyrant CEO.

Shen Shi: "Do you really want to divorce Anyong, or is this just heat-of-the-moment anger?"

Lusixuan took a sip of wine, bitterness welling at his lips, "Divorce."

"I often think, when he first pursued me, he said all kinds of beautiful things—when exactly did it turn sour?"

Lusixuan is ten years older than Anyong; from keeping his distance to entering marriage, Anyong repeatedly assured him he would never regret it, yet they still ended up here.

Shen Shi didn't know what he was thinking, glanced sideways at Jin Chen, and inexplicably felt a deep empathy for the past.

Jin Chen: "……"

He then threatened menacingly.

"Try comparing me with him."

"Go home and bully him into tears!"

Shen Shi, feeling slightly guilty, shifted his gaze and said to Lusixuan, "Reaching this point isn't necessarily bad for you; it's better than constantly suspecting and being wary."

Lusixuan nodded, then chuckled, "Before, neither of us could persuade the other; now this result… is actually quite good."

"Minimize the risk, divorce early to reduce entanglement—pretty good."

He lowered his eyes and let out a soft sigh.

The three left the private room, and Jin Chen prepared to go home alone, waiting for their family's great patron to return from the meeting.

In the car, after a brief reunion they had to part again; Shen Shi lingered in his embrace, and the usually punctual person ended up sitting in the car until ten minutes before the meeting.

After the secretary called to urge, Shen Shi only then left Jin Chen's teasing embrace, adjusting his suit cuffs.

"Don't just sit there foolishly; after the meeting I'll come pick you up." Jin Chen really couldn't resist that gaze, he put his arm around Shen Shi's shoulders, pulled him close, and kissed him again.

"No, you just rushed back from your flight; you need to rest properly."

Shen Shi clung to Jin Chen's collar, rubbing gently, then reached up to tousle his hair, looked up at him, and said, "Be obedient."

Jin Chen tilted his head, melted by his wife's unconscious cute spoiled behavior, and said, "Alright, remember to come back early, Uncle Shen."

Shen Shi poked his forehead in annoyance, then got up and got out of the car.

The greeters at the Main Gate of the Summit Center immediately stepped forward, respectfully guiding Shen Shi into the conference hall.

Inside the car, Jin Chen yawned and told the driver to head home.

Just after returning home, he discovered piles of gifts stacked in the Living Room, all quarterly new products; the butler especially explained, "Sir said he personally picked the most suitable gifts for you."

Jin Chen casually picked out a few to look at, then nodded in satisfaction.

The sponsor's wife's strict selection really makes a difference.

——

After Jin Chen returned home, most of Shen Shi's time moved from the group office to the house; non-important matters were handled online, or the secretary would deliver them at a set time each evening.

Shen Shi no longer kept his sensitivities bottled up; under Jin Chen's guidance, he boldly and shyly expressed his thoughts and feelings, as if he had opened the Ren and Du meridians of dating—his progress was rapid.

Days were sweet as honey mixed with oil; the garden dogs lately hardly ate their meals, and the butler who witnessed everything thought so.

Meanwhile, online opinions about Cheng Yi kept fermenting; every time he tried to clarify, Gentleman Entertainment produced stronger evidence.

Finally, Cheng Yi's company could only fire the agent as a scapegoat, pushing all the blame onto him, thereby barely preserving Cheng Yi's reputation.

Thanks to this incident, Cheng Yi unexpectedly gained something: he and Chu Yin, who had prematurely revealed his identity, officially confirmed their relationship; a Weibo essay moved many CP fans, and it barely suppressed the public opinion.

But even so, the second season of 《Heart-to-Heart》 still didn't invite this couple, no matter how hot the topic; offending their biggest sponsor dad, Director Shen, made it useless even though Chu Yin is a wealthy young master.

The recording of the second season's live broadcast was about to start; the Director Team, to warm up in advance, overnight arranged live-stream tasks for the core guests invited among the regular cast.

"Candy Challenge?"

Jin Chen looked at the task card sent in the WeChat group; after studying the rules, he raised his eyebrows and gave praise.

"A good game."

Jin Chen pulled Shen Shi, who was still in the Study, out to buy candy, and on the way picked up other things they'd need for the evening.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast started on time.

〖I'm here, I'm here!! Other guest couples had already started their live streams, but Jin Chen turned out to be the Great King of punctuality! 〗

〖Candy challenge! I announce I will possess Jin Chen tonight! Before Shen Shi's wife even started, her ears turned red, sniffling! 〗

〖Jin Chen, you little brat, you're so lucky! Hurry up and start! 〗

〖Shen Shi's cheeks are flushed red, Jin Chen's face is pale yellow. 〗

"So many people."

Jin Chen glanced at the surging online viewer count, then looked at the comments, and the screen was full of people shouting 'wife'.

"My wife, you're not allowed to shout like that."

Then the comments shouted even more fiercely.

These fans are really hard to please.

Jin Chen started arguing back and forth with the comments.

〖Just call her wife, wife!! Dirty talk is innocent! 〗

Jin Chen glanced at the ID, then started chattering: "The dirty‑talk monster scored a zero egg!"

〖Don't hit people like that, Jin Chen! Shen Shi's wife can belong to all of us! You poison‑tongued devil! 〗

Jin Chen: "I didn't mean to hurt you, but my conscience won't let me lie."

Shen Shi placed the basket full of assorted candy flavors beside the coffee table, hearing this he pulled Jin Chen by the back of his collar to keep him away from the comments, saving the fans from disaster.

"Ready?"

Jin Chen instantly became even more playful, sitting cross‑legged with Shen Shi around the coffee table; the coziness of the living room added a touch of atmosphere to the moment.

"You guess first."

Shen Shi took out a black satin ribbon casually picked from the wardrobe, moved close to Jin Chen's fervent gaze, his ears red as he tied it over Jin Chen's eyes.

Shen Shi had just sat back down when his heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Jin Chen's eyes, always teasing, were covered by the black satin ribbon; his high nose bridge pushed the ribbon into a small fold, and his pale lip color slightly curled up.

Damn, Jin Chen is really good-looking!

Alright, I announce! Shen Shi is my wife! Jin Chen is my husband! (mic tap) (bow)

Upstairs, dreamers, use fewer pillows!

"Why no sound?" Jin Chen, a bit doubtful, said, "The game rules didn't say you can't make noise, right?"

"No... I'm unwrapping candy."

Shen Shi hurriedly regained his composure, casually picked a candy from the basket, and showed it to the camera.

Watermelon! This flavor is pretty easy to notice!
