Chapter 1364: Sharp-tongued, proud celebrity & super-rich insecure wife 40

Jin Chen today really seems off; Shen Shi feels a bit heartbroken and also wronged.

A jealous man is really hard to appease! He doesn't even initiate a hug.

Shen Shi pursed his lips, then settled into his embrace, almost pressed against his chest, soft as boneless.

Then he cooed softly, 'Hold me… no using the cushion.'

Jin Chen slightly raised his brows, his peach-blossom eyes narrowing with amusement, making Shen Shi's ears redden further and his voice drop lower.

"Husband."

Shen Shi affectionately rubbed his nose against Jin Chen's, the faint blush on his usually cool face both alluring and provocative, his voice turning uncharacteristically soft.

"Don't be jealous… don't listen to others' nonsense."

Jin Chen suddenly chuckled low, wrapping his arms around Shen Shi's softened waist, 'Silly, of course I know.'

The deep kiss fell like flower petals, extremely aggressive.

Shen Shi's whole body grew even softer, the moisture at the corners of his eyes gently wiped away.

After the deep kiss, the dazed Shen Shi went limp in Jin Chen's embrace, unconsciously burying his face in the crook of his neck, breathing shallowly, full of lingering affection.

He felt his waist and back being lightly stroked, very comfortable.

He could also sense Jin Chen's happiness.

Because…

Shen Shi bit his glistening lip, 'Husband.'

"Mm-hmm."

Jin Chen stroked Shen Shi's nape, responding pleasantly, 'What's up?'

Shen Shi smiled, 'I like you.'

The days spent resting at home and accompanying Jin Chen are truly so wonderful that one doesn't want to work.

That day, Shen Shi reluctantly saw off Jin Chen, who had a new schedule, and feeling a bit bored while scrolling through super topics, he discovered a post that revealed something.

After Yang Ji had disappeared for a few days, paparazzi caught him with a bruised and swollen face passing under an overpass, seeming to have a limp leg.

Shen Shi was somewhat surprised, and sent a message asking Jin Chen if he knew about this.

"Husband: Who? I don't know, I don't want to get involved."

Shen Shi raised his brows slightly and replied with a nodding sticker.

"Yeah, the one I saved from Jin Chen's end, it's really useful."

Jin Chen put down his phone and continued listening to the host's endless explanation of the brand concept.

"Phew! I almost got caught by my wife."

"This kid is still pretty tough; even after being beaten up like that, he's still running around."

"Little did he know that someone's manner of speaking had already been grasped by Shen Shi."

After the tacitly understanding live broadcast was suddenly cut off, the director team originally thought they couldn't continue.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shi's conveyed meaning was also not to blame the program team's arrangements; he and Jin Chen simply wouldn't continue recording the remaining episodes.

After repeatedly confirming with trepidation, the director came up with a compromise.

First, pause the later recordings, carefully select guests, and during this time broadcast a side story, which also serves as an explanation to the fans who came specifically for the Auspicious Day CP.

After submitting the side story's location and core concept for review, and upon receiving approval, the director nearly teared up.

These days, good sponsor dads are rare!

And upon seeing the Weibo-preheating fans:!!!!

"Beach sunrise! Let's wait for the sunrise together! Plus a little surprise segment!"

"Want to slack off every day: the program team deserves the ancestral temple! They even added a little surprise!"

"Can't wake up: please add more little games like the candy challenge! Best if it's an uncensored HD livestream~"

"To avoid another guest causing conflict with everyone, this side story's livestream only has three couples."

"One evening, each group arrived at the beach one after another."

"The setting sun dyed the sea red."

"In the livestream, the first head to pop up was Lin Cheng's, who let out a hey, 'Why is nobody here?'"

"He stood there scratching his head, 'Isn't… you separated me and Xiaoyu, then placed us on an empty beach?'"

"Lin Cheng looked at the camera in horror, 'Could it be some kind of 24-hour beach survival challenge?'"

"Too bad, the only answer he got was the sound of waves."

"Lin Cheng sat rather formally on the outermost beach chair, peeking to look in other directions."

"Hahahahaha Lin Cheng's miraculous train of thought."

"Are the couples really all separated?! Could there really be a checkpoint mission?!"

"Lin Cheng really is like a little wife! Indeed, Xiang Xiaoyu is his courage injector."

"Not long after, Jin Chen and Mu Sen arrived one after another, the three men staring at each other on the beach."

"Jin Chen: 'How come it's you guys?'"

"The staff said his wife was waiting for him!"

"Mu Sen: '……I also really want to ask.'"

"Lin Cheng held a coconut to drink, then patted the seat beside him, 'Don't look at me, I just got here too—settle in and be at ease.'"

"Once the three were all seated, the loudspeaker tied to the table leg broadcasted an off-screen voice."

Welcome, three guests, to this Heart-to-Heart side story. Before you meet your partners, please each share your recent romantic dilemmas—be sure to keep it real!

Lin Cheng held a half-drunk coconut, then sighed softly, "Don't even mention it—I really do."

"What do you mean?" Mu Sen gave a doubtful look.

Jin Chen held a fruit platter, ready to listen to the gossip.

Lin Cheng stirred his straw, his brows knotting tightly, "Have you ever felt… utterly powerless in a relationship?"

"I'm not sure how to put it… but, Xiaoyu is very independent and also very capable. Since we went from close friends to lovers, sometimes I feel like she doesn't really need me as her boyfriend."

Mu Sen: "... Wow, are we already diving this deep at the start?"

"I don't know, ah—Xi Ge was my first love… I haven't felt that deeply yet."

So Lin Cheng turned his pleading gaze toward Jin Chen.

Jin Chen finished a few watermelon slices, wiped his mouth elegantly, "One meal, and I'll sort out your love troubles."

Lin Cheng: "……"

You're gonna rip me off too, you swindler!

Alright, go ahead and tell us.

Jin Chen: "Give a few examples—what behaviors of Xiaoyu make you feel unneeded?"

Mu Sen, sitting between the two, turned his head to look at Lin Cheng again.

Lin Cheng immediately replied: "Lots of things—for example, changing light bulbs at home, going out alone at night, and that time buying a magazine rack—she handled that huge delivery all by herself."

Jin Chen waited a few more seconds, quite surprised, "That's it?"

Lin Cheng: "Isn't that enough, bro……"

"Well, then we've found the problem,"
