VFGRC Chapter 78

[“Oh, come on, why so surprised? Has Xiang Yu never eaten milk-infused jujubes before?”]

[“…Just a milk-infused jujube, isn’t this act a bit too much?”]

[“Could it be that Xiang Yu is promoting this milk-infused jujube brand and intentionally praising it?”]

[“I see, got it now. So today’s live stream is Xiang Yu’s sponsored broadcast for a meal.”]

[“The boss must have spent a fortune! They actually managed to invite Xiang Yu to advertise for them.”]

Reluctantly swallowing the milk-infused jujube in her mouth, when Xiang Yu looked at the barrage, she saw a bunch of comments mentioning that her live stream today was a “meal broadcast.”

Xiang Yu: ?

A big pot fell from the sky!

The snacks she was eating were sent to her by her good friend Yue Qing! She definitely wasn’t doing a sponsored meal broadcast!

“I’m really not doing a sponsored meal broadcast! I swear on my integrity, these milk-infused jujubes are truly, exceptionally delicious! Their taste is different from others!”

[“Really? I don’t believe it.”]

[“I’ve tried the milk-infused jujubes from almost all the popular stores on a certain shopping platform. I feel like their tastes are pretty similar!”]

Seeing that the audience in the live stream didn’t believe her, Xiang Yu had to take out another milk-infused jujube.

“Sweeties, it’s time to witness a miracle!”

Inside the live stream, Xiang Yu’s hands gripped a chubby milk-infused jujube at both ends.

She applied a slight pressure with her fingertips, gently splitting the milk-infused jujube apart.

The outer layer of the jujube was wrapped in a soft and sweet cotton candy infused with milk powder.

This layer of cotton candy was especially fluffy and soft, with a certain degree of elasticity.

Under the soft yellow light, as Xiang Yu’s fingertips exerted pressure, the elastic cotton candy, akin to cheese, pulled out delicate strands.

Seeing these fine strands, the audience in the live stream unconsciously widened their eyes in unison.

When did cotton candy start being able to stretch out such long strands?!

Did they see it wrong?

Cotton candy wrapped around the jujube, the two intertwined closely, the hollow part originally belonging to the jujube pit was now fully occupied by a large and plump almond.

The internet users in the livestream room couldn’t help but doubt.

Was the milk-infused jujube in Xiang Yu’s hand real or fake?

In the next second, Xiang Yu stuffed the split milk-infused jujube into her mouth.

“Crunch, crunch,” the almond and jujube fragrance, accompanied by a faint milk aroma, filled her mouth once again.

Xiang Yu couldn’t help but close her eyes again, “Mmm… it really tastes delicious!”

Xiang Yu took two more milk-infused jujubes—without exception, whether in appearance, taste, or the inner filling, they were almost identical to the milk-infused jujube she had split open.

Seeing that each and every milk-infused jujube could be so round and beautiful, and they tasted good too… the potential snack lovers among Xiang Yu’s fans were itching with excitement.

After trying three or four milk-infused jujubes, Xiang Yu’s “claws” reached out to the side for the braised chicken feet.

Braised chicken feet on the market were not exactly rare. However, most store-bought braised chicken feet only had a thin layer of meat, practically flavorless and a pity to discard. The only highlight was probably the small piece of tendon in the center of the chicken foot.

The reason Xiangyu decided to try the braised chicken feet next was that among the snacks sent by Yue Qing, only the braised chicken feet were individually sealed in packaging.

Snacks like milk-infused jujubes and boneless chicken feet came in packs. Xiang Yu was worried about not being able to finish them once opened, leading to spoilage over time.

Tearing open the packaging of the braised chicken feet, a beautifully reddish-brown chicken foot appeared before everyone.

Unlike the braised chicken feet commonly found on the market, the size of this chicken foot was remarkably… large!

Because of its large size, there was a generous amount of meat on the chicken feet. Each chicken foot digit was plump and chubby, wrapped in a thick layer of tender flesh.

Xiang Yu licked her lips and took a bite of the braised chicken foot.

Mixed with spices, a wonderful taste circulated between Xiang Yu’s lips and teeth. The meat on the chicken foot was thick and tender, melting in her mouth.

What surprised Xiang Yu the most was that after being simmered for a long time, the bones on the chicken foot digits were as tender and crispy as the meat. They could be easily swallowed along with the meat!

Tender meat, crispy bones.

Although the tendon in the center of the chicken foot was completely flavored and not at all tough after being braised, it retained its firmness and elasticity when chewed.

The entire braised chicken foot, whether it was the meat, bones, or the gelatinous tendon in the center, had a taste and texture that could be called perfect.

As the glistening and translucent tendon gradually disappeared into Xiang Yu’s mouth, the internet users watching through the screen couldn’t help but swallow their saliva in unison.

Braised chicken feet, they looked so delicious…

Just then, Xiang Yu’s mother’s voice came from behind her.

“Your sweet rice wine balls are ready.”

In a small porcelain bowl, there was a slightly pinkish wine rice soup. Several lustrous and chewy sweet rice balls floated on top, surrounded by several blossoming pink peach blossoms.

Xiang Yu didn’t deliberately adjust the angle or lighting for the sweet rice wine balls’ presentation; its appearance was captivating enough to enchant the internet users in the livestream room.

[“Wow! Is this the sweet rice wine balls?! Why is it pink? And there are peach blossoms? It looks so beautiful!”]

[“As a Southerner who has been eating sweet rice wine balls since childhood, I guess the wine inside these sweet rice wine balls has peach blossoms in it? Were they fermented together?”]

[“Peach blossoms being used in the fermentation of wine? I never knew about this method! Oh my, the owner of this shop is so creative! I just wonder if it tastes good.”]

[“Let’s not talk about whether it tastes good or not. Just looking at these beautiful sweet rice wine balls makes me want to buy them! It’s so stunning!”]

Xiang Yu: “Mom, I remember that I gave you a big bag of sweet rice wine balls to cook, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then why is there only such a small bowl?”

Xiang Yu’s mother raised an eyebrow, “Do you even need to ask? After I put so much effort into making them for you, shouldn’t I also get a taste?”

Xiang Yu: “…”

Xiang Yu’s mother: “By the way, what’s the name of the shop where you bought the sweet rice wine balls? Quickly tell me! I want to stock up on a whole box! These delicious and beautiful sweet rice wine balls are perfect for afternoon tea…”

The internet users in the livestream room immediately grabbed their phones placed beside them when they saw Xiang Yu about to reveal the names of the shops for the sweet rice wine balls, milk-infused jujube-stuffed dates, and braised chicken feet. They were ready to rush into the shop and make their purchases in the blink of an eye!

“Let me see.”

Xiang Yu took out the packaging of the milk-infused jujubes, paused for a moment, and then sequentially picked up the packaging for the milk-infused jujube-stuffed dates, braised chicken feet, and other snacks.

“These snacks are all from… ‘Galaxy Snack Shop’?” Xiang Yu furrowed her brows, “Is ‘Galaxy Snack Shop’ a recent popular shop on a certain online marketplace? How come I’ve never heard of this shop before?”

Upon hearing the words “Galaxy Snack Shop,” the internet users immediately rushed to search on the online marketplace.

However, to their surprise, the usually almighty online marketplace was no longer all-powerful—because there was no shop named ‘Galaxy Snack Shop’ on the platform at all!

[“Sister Xiang Yu! Is ‘Galaxy Snack Shop’ the correct name? Why couldn’t I find this shop on the online marketplace?”]

[“Sister Xiang Yu, where did your friend buy these snacks from? Can you share a link, please? Sob, sob!”]

[“I have a friend who said if she can’t get the milk-infused jujubes, she’ll…”]

“Ding dong,” Xiang Yu’s phone rang.

[“Yue Qing: Xiang Yu! Did you just receive the snacks I sent you? Remember, some snacks need to be stored in the freezer, while others can be kept at room temperature… Make sure you don’t mix them up. Otherwise, the flavor of the snacks might be affected!”]

Xiang Yu immediately called Yue Qing.

Xiang Yu spoke rapidly, like a machine gun: “Yue Qing! Where did you buy those snacks? I just opened the milk-infused jujubes, braised chicken feet, and sweet rice wine balls… They’re so delicious! I want to repurchase them!”

Following that, Xiang Yu’s eyebrows raised high.

“What? These snacks are from a snack shop in City J? Do they have an online store?”

“What? The online store is still in preparation? It will only open next week?! And it’s just for pre-sale?!”

“Yue Qing, don’t force me to beg you! Can you please ask the owner to open the online store sooner? My live stream fans are eagerly waiting!”

—

Some people run snack stalls their entire lives, and in the end, they remain ordinary stall owners.

But for some, their career trajectory seems to be rocket-powered. After running a snack stall for just a few months, they catch an incredible stroke of luck, gain the favor of influential figures, and open their own snack shop.

Not only does their snack shop thrive, making back the initial investment within a month of opening, but they also have plans for chain stores and online sales.

Now, Yu Bai’s snack shop is in a league of its own.

In the past few months, with the spontaneous promotion from food bloggers and their exceptional culinary skills, Yu Bai’s shop has risen to become the most prosperous snack shop in the entire Qingqiao District.

The reason why Yu Bai’s shop is currently only the most prosperous in the Qingqiao District is because there are over a dozen districts in City J, and they only have a presence in Qingqiao District.

However, whether it’s Chen Jing, the manager of the G Group who provided guidance to Yu Bai’s snack shop, or Yu Dong, who used to sell sugar-coated haws with Yu Bai at Sanjiaokou, or the regular customers of the shop, they all believe that as long as Yu Bai continues to work hard, one day they will become famous throughout City J, and even the whole country.

Skill is key when it comes to snacks.

With the craftsmanship of someone like Yu Bai, what is there to worry about?

Today, Yu Dong didn’t set up his own stall; instead, he came to Yu Bai’s shop with the sugar-coated haws he had made himself.

Yu Bai is his benefactor.

The words Yu Bai had spoken to him in the past had rekindled Yu Dong’s passion for trying out new flavors of sugar-coated haws.

Moreover, if it wasn’t for Yu Bai’s wake-up call back then, Yu Dong’s sugar-coated haws stall might not have survived this winter.

Once known as “Qiaozi Snack Store” closed its doors, Yu Bai’s “Galaxy Snack Shop” opened for business.

While “Galaxy Snack Shop” is thriving, it has not affected the business of nearby snack stalls in the slightest. This is because the snacks sold in Yu Bai’s “Galaxy Snack Shop” intentionally avoid directly competing with the main offerings of other stalls at Sanjiaokou.

Everyone understands this unspoken agreement.

With Yu Bai’s culinary skills, he is more than capable of making fried chicken strips, sugar-coated haws, or other snacks commonly found at stalls or snack shops. In fact, Yu Bai might even make them more delicious than others.

Yu Bai deliberately avoids competition; this is his way of taking care of the surrounding businesses at Sanjiaokou. Because of Yu Bai’s consideration, everyone’s business isn’t suppressed or exploited like “Qiaozi Snack Store,” allowing both stalls and snack shops to continue operating at Sanjiaokou.

Leave room for others.

This principle has guided Yu Bai’s conduct as a chef, and he has upheld it throughout his life.

Whether it’s in the kitchen or with snacks, only healthy competition can lead to diverse offerings.

When Yu Dong entered the “Galaxy Snack Shop,” he overheard a customer sitting at the freshly made snack window ask, “Boss, why did you take down the sign for Peach Blossom Wine Rice Balls? Are you not going to sell them tomorrow?”

Yu Dong looked up.

Sure enough, the sign reading “Peach Blossom Wine Rice Balls” had been removed.

Standing at the freshly made snack window, a tall and handsome young man with a warm smile said, “Starting tomorrow, our shop will no longer offer Peach Blossom Wine Rice Balls.”

Yu Bai’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was like a bombshell that detonated through the entire snack shop.

“What? You won’t sell Peach Blossom Wine Rice Balls starting tomorrow? Why?”

“When will you sell them then? Is it just a temporary pause for one day?”

“My wife loves your Peach Blossom Wine Rice Balls the most… Boss, could you delay this for a couple of days?”

“Sorry. We have a limited supply of the Peach Blossom Wine for making the rice balls, so today is the last day we’re selling Peach Blossom Wine Rice Balls.” Yu Bai explained, “However, starting tomorrow, we will introduce a new seasonal wine rice ball every once in a while as a specialty of our shop. Rest assured, the Jasmine Flower Wine Rice Balls taste great too.”

Upon hearing that Peach Blossom Wine Rice Balls were being discontinued, there was a sense of reluctance among the customers. But when they learned that they would be replaced by Jasmine Flower Wine Rice Balls, their spirits were instantly lifted.

It’s now May, and with only a few days left, summer is quickly approaching. The weather in J City is gradually getting warmer.

The fresh fragrance of jasmine is delightful, and the jasmine tea made from it is refreshing, making it a perfect bloom for spring and summer.

Eating Jasmine Flower Wine Rice Balls in May and June is not only in line with the season but also helps to relieve the initial heat of summer.

Everyone is now thinking about how many portions of Jasmine Flower Wine Rice Balls they should buy from the “Galaxy Snack Shop” tomorrow. After all, besides themselves, they also need to let their spouses, children, and parents have a taste…

“Yu Bai,” Yu Dong walked up to Yu Bai’s display window and handed him a large bag of sugar-coated haws, “These are the sugar-coated haws that Xing Xing likes to eat…”

Yu Bai chuckled helplessly, “Why did you bring so many sugar-coated haws again? Xing Xing is still young; he shouldn’t eat too much candy.”

“I heard that Xing Xing has successfully enrolled in the neighboring Little Red Flower Kindergarten,” Yu Dong smiled, “Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, Xing Xing will be starting kindergarten in the second half of the year. I brought some of his favorite sugar-coated haws specifically to make him happy!”

Yu Bai shook his head, “Both you and your wife spoil him.”

Yu Dong replied, “Kids need to be spoiled a bit; there’s nothing wrong with that. Besides, your Xing Xing has been well-behaved and adorable since he was little, unlike my rascal troublemaker at home. Xing Xing will definitely not be spoiled.”

As Yu Dong was talking about Xing Xing, Xing Xing, who had been watching educational videos in the small rest area, pushed open the door. His dad told him that children shouldn’t spend too much time on electronic devices. Now it’s time for him to come out and play!

Otherwise, your eyes will get tired!

Xing Xing rubbed his eyes, resembling a lazy little kitten as he stretched in a lazy yawn.

Then, Xing Xing’s two round, bright eyes searched for Yu Bai’s figure everywhere.

Where’s Dad?

Soon enough, Xing Xing locked onto his target.

“Daddy!”

Xing Xing bounced over to Yu Bai’s side.

After a while of not seeing each other, the slightly squat Xing Xing had grown a bit taller, but he still had a bit of chubbiness to him.

But then again, just like a little kitten, young ones are cute when they’re soft and chubby!

When Xing Xing walked up to Yu Bai, he noticed Yu Dong standing in front of him.

Xing Xing blinked his watery dark eyes and said, “Hello, Uncle Yu!”

The soft and tender voice of the young one was like cotton candy that melted instantly.

A smile immediately lit up Yu Dong’s face, and he imitated Xing Xing’s tone, responding, “Hello, Xing Xing!”

This gave the nearby customers a shiver; their goosebumps were almost falling off.

Yu Dong continued, “Uncle Yu heard that you got accepted into the Little Red Flower Kindergarten, so I brought your favorite strawberry sugar-coated haws and glutinous rice sugar-coated haws… Here, these are the ones I just made!”

Xing Xing had already learned to count.

As Xing Xing looked at one, two, three… so many sugar-coated haws appearing in front of him, his little heart fluttered.

Xing Xing’s round eyes blinked several times, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes.

There were so many sugar-coated haws on the table that they were almost like a small mountain! Were they really all for Xing Xing?

To be able to have so many sugar-coated haws just by getting into the Little Red Flower Kindergarten, Xing Xing felt truly fortunate!

The Little Red Flower Kindergarten was the best kindergarten in the Qingqiao District. Before the children could enter this kindergarten, they had to pass through layers of selection.

Xing Xing had been clever since he was young, and coupled with all the knowledge he had gained from watching educational videos recently, he had become an adorable, smart, and talkative little boy. This led to him successfully passing the final round of interviews and selection for the Little Red Flower Kindergarten.

Starting from September of the second half of the year, Xing Xing will officially start attending the Little Red Flower Kindergarten!

Seeing Yu Dong give him so many sugar-coated haws, Xing Xing was so delighted in his heart that he felt like jumping in circles, but he maintained a reserved demeanor on the surface and said, “Thank you, Uncle Yu!”

Xing Xing continued, “But Dad said that kids shouldn’t eat too much candy. So, I’ll slowly, very slowly, eat all of Uncle Yu’s sugar-coated haws!”

Yu Dong pinched Xing Xing’s soft cheek and his smile deepened.

Yu Dong arrived at the shop not too early. This time was when Yu Bai was about to close. The number of customers at the freshly made snack window was slightly fewer compared to other times, and Yu Bai wasn’t as busy.

Yu Dong asked, “I heard that you’re opening an online store tonight. How’s the preparation going?”

“It’s almost ready,” Yu Bai replied. “The factories we’re cooperating with have several production lines that used to make snacks, so it’s relatively easy to switch to producing my snacks. I’ve tasted them, and they’re similar in taste to what I sell in the shop.”

Yu Dong teased, “My wife, my children, and I are all looking forward to the opening of your online store tonight.”

On weekdays, Yu Dong and his wife were busy working, and their children had school and classes. They could only visit Yu Bai’s snack shop on their days off to enjoy the snacks Yu Bai made and satisfy their cravings.

After all, every snack Yu Bai made was delicious and never got boring.

If Yu Bai’s snack online store officially started operating, he could also enjoy Yu Bai’s snacks at home with his wife and children on workdays.

Yu Dong was a bit naive at the moment. He couldn’t possibly imagine that when Yu Bai’s online store officially opened, the links he would see on Taobao would all say “Sold Out!”

April and May were enrollment seasons for elementary schools and kindergartens in J City.

Xing Xing, who was now three years old, was of age to attend kindergarten.

Yu Bai took Xing Xing to several kindergartens, inspecting the facilities and educational environment. Then, they went through interviews at a few kindergartens that Xing Xing was interested in attending. Without exception, Xing Xing successfully passed the selection process at all of them.

After careful consideration, Yu Bai and Xing Xing chose the Little Red Flower Kindergarten, which was relatively close to their home, had complete facilities, and offered a pleasant environment.

Throughout April, in addition to preparing for Xing Xing’s kindergarten enrollment, Yu Bai was also busy preparing for his online store and monitoring the progress of his chain stores. On regular days, he also had to make snacks in the shop.

So, Yu Bai had hardly any time to rest, and he had become visibly thinner.

Since the day Ji Rongyu and Yu Bai had separated, Ji Rongyu would occasionally visit Yu Bai’s shop as usual, and they maintained contact.

However, the word “like” had become a taboo between them, and neither of them brought it up.

Ji Rongyu wanted to take things further with Yu Bai, but the lie that stood between them was like a timed bomb ready to explode.

Ji Rongyu couldn’t go against his own heart and engage in an insincere relationship with Yu Bai.

But Yu Bai was too busy, so busy that Ji Rongyu often had to wait until early morning to receive a reply of “Goodnight” from Yu Bai.

Ji Rongyu didn’t want to disturb Yu Bai’s rest, so he could only wait.

Waiting for a suitable moment when Yu Bai is completely free, Ji Rongyu plans to confess everything to him.

The day of confession will arrive soon.

Ji Rongyu looked at the familiar scenery outside the window and slightly pursed his lips.

Today is the day when Yu Bai’s online store officially opens for business. It will be a while before the second branch that Yu Bai has been preparing for opens its doors.

So, after tonight, Yu Bai will have some temporary free time.

This period of Yu Bai’s free time is the perfect opportunity for Ji Rongyu to be honest about everything.

“Boss, we’ve arrived at the destination.”

Hang Yuanshu’s voice sounded from the front seat of the car.

Ji Rongyu opened the car door. The sign of “Galaxy Snack Shop” came into his view.

On the corner of the street, Yu Dong was waiting at the traffic light when he saw a low-profile black luxury car slowly pass by him and stop in front of the entrance of “Galaxy Snack Shop.”

Yu Dong narrowed his eyes.

He had a feeling that this car seemed somewhat familiar.

After all, in J City, those who used a license plate number like “A11111” were undoubtedly wealthy. Anyone who saw it would be deeply impressed by such a license plate number.

Yu Dong remembered that he had seen the license plate number “A11111” around the end of last year.

He wondered what kind of person the owner of this license plate number could be.

The luxury car parked at the street corner, and a tall man dressed simply and elegantly stepped out of the car.

When Yu Dong saw the somewhat familiar figure, he involuntarily widened his eyes.

Yu Dong knew that in Yu Bai’s family, there was a young man named Ji Rongyu, who had been helping Yu Bai take care of Xing Xing. It was said that Ji Rongyu came from a less privileged background.

Afterward, Yu Bai and Ji Rongyu spent a lot of time together, their relationship grew deep, and they were often seen together.

During the New Year period, when Yu Bai came to Yu Dong’s house to pay a New Year’s visit, Ji Rongyu even came to Yu Dong’s house to pick up Yu Bai.

On that day, as Yu Dong watched Yu Bai and Ji Rongyu’s intimate behavior and the way they looked at each other, he, who had experienced love himself, could glean some insights.

The relationship between Yu Bai and Ji Rongyu might not be limited to just being “friends.”

Seeing that Ji Rongyu got along well and seemed to like Yu Bai, and Yu Bai also seemed to be interested in Ji Rongyu, Yu Dong didn’t meddle in their affairs.

After all, feelings had to be between the two individuals. If he, as a third party, got involved, wouldn’t it be like forcing something to happen?

After the New Year, Yu Dong heard that Ji Rongyu had found a job and become busier. Yu Dong’s interactions with Yu Bai had become less frequent due to his own business of running a stall. Therefore, he didn’t pay much attention to the situation between Yu Bai and Ji Rongyu.

Occasionally, Yu Bai would drop a hint to Yu Dong. Yu Dong could also sense that the relationship between Yu Bai and Ji Rongyu seemed to have become closer than during the New Year period.

However, during this time, Yu Bai had been busy with his business and Xing Xing’s schooling, and he hadn’t mentioned much else to Yu Dong.

Therefore, when Yu Dong saw Ji Rongyu getting out of the luxury car with the license plate number “A11111,” he was so surprised that he briefly doubted his own eyes.

Could he have been mistaken?

But Yu Dong had indeed, clearly seen it. The luxury car had parked in a slightly hidden corner of Sanjiaokou.

After Ji Rongyu got out of the car, he crossed the street and walked straight toward Yu Bai’s “Galaxy Snack Shop.”

Title: “After Falling in Love with the Film Emperor in a Variety Show, I Became Popular [Entertainment Industry]” «和影帝上恋综后，我爆红了[娱乐圈]»

Author: 洲巳

Synopsis: One morning, due to memory loss, young master Yan Qing discovers that five years later, he inexplicably gained a husband.

The marriage partner is Wen Jue Li, the three-time Golden Nation International Film Emperor, renowned and outstandingly handsome, with a massive fan following.

Meanwhile, Yan Qing is just an unknown newbie.

Just as news about their engagement surfaces, not only are there rabid anti-fans coming after him, but there’s also a husband-and-wife variety show.

Yan Qing: A variety show? No, I won’t go.

For heaven’s sake, I’m just an 18-year-old innocent boy, why would I appear on a husband-and-wife show?

However, bound by the company’s contract, if he doesn’t participate, he’ll have to compensate financially. The “18-year-old” pure and innocent youngster can only grit his teeth and go on stage.

On the eve of the program, he frantically searches for his love story with the film emperor.

“The aloof Film Emperor personally cooks, making heart-shaped bento.”

“Yan Qing has close relationships with other men, making the Film Emperor jealous and envious, his love desperate and humble.”

“Love diary revealed, Film Emperor secretly loved Yan Qing from five years ago!”

…

After reading the marketing posts detailing their love story.

Yan Qing: He… he loves me so much.

Whimper, whimper!! Husband!!!

Wen Jue Li: ?

*

In the past, Yan Qing thought that Wen Jue Li was as unapproachable as ice and not worthy of his affection. But upon learning that he loves him with such restraint and subtlety, Yan Qing feels that he should also take the initiative.

On the day the program aired, the “Kissing Husbands” tag shot up to the number one trend.

Yan Qing, relying on his looks and talent, crazily amassed fans. With loving interactions with the Film Emperor in the show, the rumors about the contractual couple were shattered. The fandom that had turned from haters to lovers squealed with delight:

“I’m so amazed. I didn’t expect Yan Qing to be so talented and good-looking. They’re truly a perfect match!”

“Kissing Husbands are so sweet, this investment pays off!”

“Whimper, I declare that Yan Qing is my new wife, you all can do as you please.”

Yan Qing: qwq

Until one day…

Yan Qing regained his memory and discovered—

He and Wen Jue Li were indeed a contractual couple, and all those so-called love details were damn marketing tricks, a fabrication of his own imagination.

Yan Qing: …

This false love is better off without it. Divorce!

However, Wen Jue Li stood before him, his tall figure approaching, casually lifting Yan Qing’s chin. His tone was lazy: Who said those were fake?
