Chapter 3430: Xiao Churan's Sensitivity

Ye Chen sent Gu Qiuyi back to the Gu family, and when he returned alone to the Ye family's old residence, tonight's concert had completely dominated all social media at home and abroad.

On China's Weibo, eight of the top ten hot searches were related to it.

Moreover, four of those were actually related to Ye Chen himself.

"Tawana and the mysterious male dancer locked in a passionate kiss"

"Who exactly is the mysterious male dancer?"

"Netizens search for clues about the mysterious male dancer!"

"Chinese swordsmanship can actually be this handsome!"

Ye Chen suddenly felt a twinge of regret in his heart.

If I had known Tawana's concert would have such a huge impact, I truly would not have agreed to her and Gu Qiuyi's request to be a backup dancer.

After seeing a few hot searches, I felt as if I had become the mysterious person that the world's fan-chasers and gossip-mongers most wanted to uncover.

For Ye Chen, who has always kept a low profile, this is absolutely not a good thing.

At this very moment, in Jin Ling, Xiao Churan also saw the various news pushed to her phone.

She herself has always liked Tawana, and in recent times she had even developed a certain private acquaintance with Tawana, but more importantly, her husband Ye Chen is currently serving as the feng shui supervisor in Tawana's team, so she pays special attention to Tawana's concert in Yanjing.

When she saw these hot news items, she also went to watch the related videos, and when she saw the masked Ye Chen in the footage, her first instinct was that this figure felt very familiar.

After all, she and Ye Chen have been married for many years; although the two have never taken that final step, they have nonetheless lived together day and night for several years, and they are very familiar with each other.

On stage, Ye Chen was almost armored to the teeth; his entire body was covered, he wore assassin's armor, boots on his feet, gloves on his hands, and even the mask on his face did not reveal his mouth, and at a glance his flowing ancient-style hairdo could be seen as definitely a wig, so even his original hairstyle was concealed.

Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for anyone to recognize him.

Yet Xiao Churan always felt that this silhouette, this outline, this person's gait, and every move he made carried a sense of familiarity.

At one moment, she also wondered in her heart: "This backup dancer actor, why does he feel somewhat similar to Ye Chen?"

But the next second, she again denied her own judgment.

She thought: "Ye Chen went to Yanjing to serve as Tawana's feng shui supervisor; he shouldn't be allowed to go on stage as a backup dancer, right? Moreover, I never knew he could sword-dance before; that dancer's swordsmanship is superb—he looks like a true professional."

However, she secretly felt something was off.

After thinking carefully, she asked herself in her heart: "Tawana has held so many concerts before and never invited any guests; why did she invite Gu Qiuyi this time? It all feels rather strange."

"And, Gu Qiuyi seemed to have originally placed the first stop of her touring concert in Jin Ling, but she is actually a person from Yanjing..."

Xiao Churan fell into a daze for a moment.

She always felt something was wrong, yet she could never figure out exactly where the problem lay.

Since marrying Ye Chen until now, she had for the first time felt a sense of uneasy apprehension.

She therefore instinctively took out her phone and sent Ye Chen a video call.

At this moment, Ye Chen had finished washing up at the Ye family's old residence and was not in a hurry to sleep; instead, he sat at his father's old desk, looking through some of his father's relics and books.

His phone suddenly received a WeChat video call, and he was somewhat surprised at first.

Most of the people around him usually respected him greatly and would not rashly send him a video call.

Xiao Churan and he also usually respected each other, and most of the time they did not send video calls.

But when Ye Chen opened his phone, he discovered that the video call was actually from his wife Xiao Churan.

He rarely felt nervous, and for a moment he did not know whether he should answer this video call.

Yet he was alone abroad; if he still did not answer Xiao Churan's video call, she might overthink things again.

After thinking left and right for a moment, he still clicked to accept.

In the video, Xiao Churan's beautiful, moon-hiding, flower-blushing face soon appeared.

Seeing Ye Chen, Xiao Churan asked somewhat surprised: "Husband, where are you now? Why do you look like you're not in a hotel?"

Ye Chen used the excuse he had just prepared, smiling: "I'm staying in a sihe academy arranged by Manager Chen."

"Manager Chen?" Xiao Churan asked him: "Which Manager Chen?"

Ye Chen smiled: "It's Chen Zekai, the manager from our Jin Ling Bai Jinhangong Palace; he wasn't promoted, was he? He came to the Yanjing headquarters to take up a post, and knowing I came to Yanjing, he insisted on fulfilling his duty as a host."

Xiao Churan lightly nodded.

She had seen news reports that Tawana and her staff were all staying at the Bai Jinhangong Palace in Yanjing.

With that said, it actually made sense.

Moreover, Ye Chen did not stay in the same hotel as Tawana, which could further prove that there is nothing going on between them.

Thinking this, Xiao Churan couldn't help but blame herself, silently thinking: "Xiao Churan, Xiao Churan, what nonsense are you having in your mind? You actually suspected that the male dancer who kissed Tawana on stage was your husband, and even suspected that Tawana might like your husband... How could that be... Ye Chen didn't even stay together with them in a hotel..."

Having reassured herself, Xiao Churan smiled and said: "It seems this Manager Chen is still quite nice, even specially arranging a place to entertain you."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "You know me—I've always disliked joining in the fun. Originally, Svetlana Miss's staff had arranged for me to stay together with them at the Bai Jinhangong Palace, but I thought she's such a big star; staying in a hotel would surely attract swarms of media reporters day and night, so I thought I might as well come out alone and find another place to stay."

"Originally I wanted to just spend money to find a hotel near the National Stadium, but Tawana's performance was too hot, those hotels were already booked solid, so Manager Chen arranged this place for me."

Saying this, he flipped the camera, filmed the surroundings, and smiled: "Look, this place is still quite nice—retro decoration, plus there's a study where I can read books and cultivate my sentiments; moreover, although this place is in the center of Yanjing, it achieves tranquility amidst the bustle, and it's indeed very comfortable."

Seeing the environment in Xiao Churan's video, her doubts dissipated considerably.

She smiled and said: "Then when you turn back, you must absolutely not forget to take Manager Chen out for a good meal; when he was in Jin Ling, he treated us well, and he even broke precedent to package the sky garden for us to redo our wedding—shouldn't that also be thanks to him?"

"It is him." Ye Chen smiled and said: "Rest assured, my relationship with Manager Chen is very good; last night he even wanted me to check his feng shui, and I told him I wouldn't take a single penny."

"Then that's good!"

Xiao Churan breathed a sigh of relief and instructed him: "Then husband, you should rest early; I won't disturb you anymore, you'll surely still be busy tomorrow."

Ye Chen turned the video image back to face himself, patted himself, and smiled: "Wife, you should also rest early."

"Don't worry." Xiao Churan smiled brightly: "I was actually already preparing to sleep, but then suddenly..."

Saying this, Xiao Churan suddenly paused.

She almost blurted out subconsciously that she had seen in the video that the male dancer resembled Ye Chen.

So she hurriedly corrected herself: "Just suddenly I really miss you, I want to see you."

Ye Chen also sensed something was off in his heart; his wife suddenly making a video call at this time was definitely not as simple as she said.

The next moment, he suddenly realized that perhaps Xiao Churan had just seen the news and video, felt that the male dancer looked like him, and thus unusually sent him a video chat.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt a deep sigh in his heart.

Having lied too much, he felt both weary and strongly self-reproachful.

Once some lies begin, they need to be continuously wrapped and sustained with more lies to maintain the original lie.

He suddenly worried that if one day Xiao Churan truly sensed something was wrong, and his lies no longer had any effect on her, what would become of their relationship?
