Chapter 38: The Only Gossip

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Pan’er and Zhang Qian only smiled at each other as a form of greeting. One of them was an actress and the other was a model. They didn’t interact much, so they naturally didn’t show too much friendliness.

Chu Xi stood beside He Yu as usual. Her back was pressed against her husband’s abs and chest muscles, while her head was leaning against his arms. She didn’t realize how intimate their posture was.

When she was at home, her feet rarely even touched the ground. When He Yu was reading things on the sofa, she would stay in He Yu’s arms and let him carry her to the bedroom to get things. She was extremely high maintenance.

He Yu indulged her and never rejected her. As time passed, Chu Xi felt that this was how husband and wife interacted. She never knew how much He Yu doted on her.

With such constant shower of affection, Chu Xi didn’t realize how much she liked being with He Yu.

Of course, He Yu wouldn’t remind her because this was what he wanted as well.

When Li Jinchen’s gaze swept over, He Yu raised his hand and rubbed Chu Xi’s head. It was as comfortable as a massage. Chu Xi subconsciously buried her face in his arms and rubbed against his chest like a kitten.

Yu Youyi and Zhang Qian were stunned. They were also fans of He Yu. Even if they didn’t read much gossip news, they had some understanding of it.

During the eight years after He Yu had debuted, the only gossip about him was about his marriage to Chu Xi. Everyone said that the two of them were a contracted couple and had no feelings for each other. Moreover, they were about to get a divorce. He Yu participated in “Husband and Wife’s Trip” because he was threatened by Chu Xi with the contract, and the two of them were pretending to be in love.

What the hell? How was this like an agreed marriage? Chu Xi was simply like a baby. She would be happy for an entire day if someone simply gave her a pacifier. From He Yu’s imposing appearance, who could threaten him? Unless he was willing to be!

Chu Xi didn’t realize that she had become the focus of everyone’s attention. She was still engrossed in acting mushy with He Yu. If not for the fact that she was recording a show, she would have thrown herself into He Yu’s arms and slept in his arms. Although it wasn’t comfortable, it was worth it if she could sleep with her head against his chest!

Li Jinchen lowered his eyes, his expression dark. No one knew what he was thinking.

Lu Pan’er smiled and said, “Chu Xi, I heard that you found two keys. You’re really amazing! When I was chatting with Jinchen previously, we were worried that you wouldn’t be able to endure any hardships since you’re so fragile. It’s so hot outside, so it’s very easy for you to get heatstroke!”

[Fragile? She’s talking about Chu Xi? Chu Xi is not weak at all!]

[She’s so two-faced. She pretends to work hard in front of cameras, but pretends to be weak behind the cameras. She’s really good at pretending!]

[She must have tricked He Yu with this method. Hurry up and get a divorce. This woman is too annoying!]

The second floor only had cameras installed in the public area, so the audience could hear what the guest said, but they couldn’t see the people clearly. They could only see their blurry back figures. After all, it was a live broadcast. If the camera was too close and exposed something that it should not have, it would be disastrous.

Zhang Qian looked at Chu Xi and then at Lu Pan’er. Then, she quickly tried to smooth things over. “It’s such a hot day. Not to mention fragile girls, even people like me who go to the gym all year round can’t stand it.”

Yu Youyi said, “Yeah, I’m about to die from the heat too. The sun is really scorching today!”

Chu Xi was originally leaning in He Yu’s arms. When she heard Lu Pan’er’s words, she looked up at Lu Pan’er and smiled. “That’s right. When I was in university, I was indeed very fragile. I was even a bit of a hipster!”

Yu Youyi was speechless.

Zhang Qian was also speechless.

Chu Xi said, “I had no choice. I was too popular back then. If I didn’t pretend to be like that, the people chasing me would line up from here to France. It was too troublesome!”

Lu Pan’er sneered to herself. Chu Xi was really good at bragging. No wonder Chu Xi was still an unpopular celebrity. The netizens would let her understand what humility was.

[How disgusting. She really knows how to brag!]

[However, Chu Xi is indeed good-looking. She’s beautiful even when standing next to Lu Pan’er and Zhang Qian!]

[Chu Xi must be desperate to become famous. She wants to give off the impression that she’s super popular?]

…

After all the guests had taken a shower and tidied up the house, they sat in the living room and chatted.

The production team was very good at arranging things. There were four sofas for two, with a round table in the middle.

Chu Xi sat upright on the sofa, but soon, an arm wrapped around her waist and he deliberately pinched the soft flesh on her waist. She didn’t exercise much to begin with, so the flesh on her body was soft. Her skin was smooth and easy to pinch.

He Yu didn’t know if it was because her body was too soft or because he liked to hug her, but he enjoyed the feeling of hugging her very much. Even if he hugged her for an entire day, he wouldn’t feel sick of it. He didn’t like crowded places and it was noisy, but because of her, he could tolerate it.
