At present, only Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan know about Shan Qiyuan’s divorce, everyone else is still kept in the dark1蒙在鼓裡 (méng zài gǔ lǐ): lit. kept inside a drum (idiom); fig. completely in the dark; Metaphor for being deceived by others and doesn’t know anything about it., especially Gu Biqing.
Shan Qihuan can’t help but worry about his two nephews, although the older ones aren’t close to him, he still likes his two nephews.
Shan Qiyuan said that the older one will go to college soon, so there is no need to worry, the younger one is also in junior high school, he can be with whomever he wants, he doesn’t want their freedom to be restricted like himself, and he can’t let them go down his own old paths.
How did the two children come about, actually, there is no need to ask, they probably did in vitro fertilization without their knowledge, thinking back carefully, the eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law were too respectful to each other2相敬如賓 (xiāng jìng rú bīn): to treat each other as an honored guest (idiom); mutual respect between husband and wife; (of a married couple) respect each other as if the other were a guest; treat each other with the respect due to a guest; husband and wife respect and care for each other, just like guests treat each other., it turned out to be nothing more than an unhappy marriage, with each getting what they needed.
However, the eldest brother can’t just walk away and put all the heavy responsibilities on him.
After Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan returned home, neither of them showed excessive joy on their faces.
Shen Yuhan naturally knew that his husband was the beneficiary of this property distribution, and he seemed to have gotten a portion of it, but he had no idea of how much.
He wasn’t too sure and asked: “Husband, did you inherit four companies today?”
Shan Qihuan frowned and said: “Um, my work from now on will be a mountain of official duties, and I’ll probably be even busier than I am now.”
“Busier than now? Isn’t it busy enough now?” Shen Yuhan couldn’t believe that his husband could be even busier.
“Let’s look at the situation first, once things are straightened out, I will arrange my time reasonably, delegate unnecessary work, and hire professional managers to manage the company.” Shan Qihuan didn’t understand why Shan Tianfeng would give him all this, he was obviously the one who least wanted to get all this, but he was the one who gained the benefit instead.
“It can still be like this.” In fact, it was like having a shop and hiring a shopkeeper to manage it, he understood.
“Of course.”
While the two were talking, Shan Qixin called.
Shan Qihuan was eating, so he put it on speakerphone: “What?” Shan Qixin is also one of the beneficiaries today, he also holds a lot of shares, which is the same as Shan Qiyuan, others only have less than them, not more.
He thought Shan Qixin was going to talk to him about today’s events, but who knew that when the other person opened his mouth, it was about his career that doesn’t make a lot of money.
Shan Qixin came to urge them: “Brother, I’m here to remind you that my program will be recorded soon, when will you guys find some time?”
“How long will it take to record?” Shan Qihuan remembered, that he agreed to it during the Chinese New Year, it seems to be two months later, but it’s already April or May, so his brother’s side is probably still delayed.
Shan Qixin cheerfully reported the number: “Three days.”
Shan Qihuan began to frown again: “Filming you at home for three days?”
Shan Qixin said matter-of-factly: “Yes, I told you before, this is how the program team arranged it, they just wanted to film how I get along with my family, they are all doing reality shows and variety shows now, so you and your sister-in-law should treat me well.”
Shan Qihuan: “What kind of variety show are you doing? Are you so idle?”
Shan Qixin: “The program’s crew is just creating hype around the private lives of celebrities, nowadays, netizens love to watch it, because they want to see real idols, who wants to see those couples putting on a show every day and falling apart every once in a while3隔三岔五 (gé sǎn chà wǔ): lit. every three to five; often; (every) now and then; time and again; often happen., it would be better to watch young people get along with their families, at least the blood relationship is real.”
“What Brother-in-law said does make sense, blood relationship is indeed real.” Shen Yuhan said with a smile, and then put the freshly peeled shrimp on Shan Qihuan’s small plate, “Have you had dinner, Brother-in-law?”
“No, I’m starving to death, Sister-in-law, you must make delicious food for me during the filming next week, I have to shoot an advertisement tomorrow afternoon, so I can’t eat more today!” Shan Qixin couldn’t help complaining to them.
“You can go home and inherit the family business, and eat all the delicacies from land and sea you want.” Shan Qihuan is seriously considering this issue, it should be fine to start practicing now, right?
Shan Qixin immediately changed the subject: “What, Third Brother, the signal is not very good, I’ll hang up first.”
Shan Qihuan looked at the cell phone that hung up with a beep and pursed his lips, Shen Yuhan admired his husband’s deflation, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“What are you laughing at?” Shan Qihuan ate the shrimp peeled by his wife.
Shen Yuhan put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile: “I’m laughing at you, your mother wants to take the Shan family into her own hands all day long, but none of her children want to inherit the family business, isn’t this an interesting thing? I also don’t know if it counts as a case of things going against one’s wishes4事與願違 (shì yǔ yuàn wéi): things turn out contrary to the way one wishes (idiom); to get the opposite of what one intended; the outcome runs counter to the purpose; fail to obtain the desired result; Refers to the failure to accomplish what was originally intended to be done..”
“Counted, it’s impossible for my dad and mom to separate, they’ll be fighting for the rest of their lives, and neither one of them will compromise with the other.” Shan Qihuan only felt that both sides suffered5兩敗俱傷 (liǎng bài jù shāng): both sides suffer (idiom); everyone loses; neither side wins; both sides in the struggle suffer losses..
“Why bother?” Shen Yuhan shook his head, he felt that there were actually a lot of things that modern people could do, Gu Biqing was just walking into a dead end by herself, and couldn’t get out.
Shan Qihuan: “Who knows.”
–
At night, Shen Yuhan hugged Shan Qihuan’s arm and leaned against him, in a moment of clarity, he asked him: “Husband, what did Brother-in-law say the program was about?”
“The program team is just recording the scenes of us living together, you can just be the same as usual, there is no need to deliberately act or anything.”
“Oh.”
“Is now the time to ask these questions?” Shan Qihuan pinched his chin and kissed him.
This week is going to be extremely busy, and they probably won’t even have time to be intimate, so they might as well have a good kiss now.
Shen Yuhan discovered that his husband was particularly enthusiastic tonight.
–
For the next week, Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan were busy signing, now that they had a few more capable assistants at their side, they were busy every day.
The company under Shen Yuhan’s name doesn’t need his management, Shan Tianfeng has already arranged a professional manager for him, he breathed a sigh of relief, Shan Qihuan is not as lucky as his wife, he has to personally handle the affairs of several companies, after signing the papers, every day is a constant cycle, the first thing he does when he gets home every day is to hug his wife to sleep, and the next day his wife woke him up from the bed, and so on and so forth.
Unconsciously, time passed like water, and a week passed, two days before the recording, Shan Qixin moved over with his luggage.
The program that Shan Qixin is about to record is called 《Our Life》, there are a total of twelve episodes, and each episode captures the daily life of a celebrity, mainly recording their interactions with family and friends, for three days, they can do whatever they want.
The day before the filming started, Shan Qixin’s manager, Zuo Rong, and the director of the program team came to meet Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan in person to confirm the recording process for the next three days with them.
Although Zuo Rong had seen Shen Yuhan before, he was always amazed by him every time he met him, and he hated the fact that the beauty could not enter the entertainment industry, this is definitely a rising star.
The director of the program group first sighed at the rich families and then looked surprised at the same time as Zuo Rong when they saw Shen Yuhan.
Which celebrity in the entertainment industry had he not seen, he was almost tired of aesthetics, when he saw Shen Yuhan again, he felt that he was simply a fairy figure who could be used to wash his eyes.
Shen Yuhan smiled at them and asked: “Two gentlemen, what would you like to drink?”
Shan Qihuan began to regret agreeing to Shan Qixin to record this stupid program, he didn’t want Shen Yuhan to smile at anyone: “There is tea at home, why not drink tea.”
Zuo Rong and the director nodded, anything is fine.
Zuo Rong mainly did it for Shan Qixin, he had no say in front of Shan Qihuan, it was mainly the director who talked to them about tomorrow’s recording.
“Mr. Shan, Mr. Shen, these three days are spent recording Qixin’s daily life, you two just need to act the same as usual, all three of you will be going home for dinner at night, right? We may record footage of Qixin having dinner and chatting with his family, to show him in his truest form.”
“Um, that’s fine, but I have one request, try to film my brother as much as possible, don’t take too many films related to my lover, he’s usually at home, so you guys can only take a side shot at most.”
“We have an interview session with you two at the end, what should we do with this?”
“Only the side face, you can film me during the interview, but you can’t film his face.” Shan Qihuan insisted, “I don’t want him to be exposed, and cause unnecessary trouble to our lives in the future, if you can’t agree to this, then he won’t be able to participate in the recording.”
The director glanced at Shen Yuhan, gritted his teeth, and nodded in agreement, his side face was also a highlight!
Shan Qihuan once again brought up another request of his: “Also, the content you edit must be reviewed by me first, and you can only broadcast it after I agree.” He also took out two agreements, “This is the agreement, please sign it, no offense, I just don’t want the program recording to have an impact on my lover’s future life.”
The director thought that he could film the family life of the super-rich, so he reluctantly signed the agreement, but he felt so aggrieved, the other celebrities were begging them to appear on variety shows, and they also wanted to make their seven aunts and eight aunts famous, but in the rich family, everything has to be coded, he’s afraid the editor will be busy death.
“Okay, we have no problem! We won’t show your face.” The director thought like a thief, if we can’t shoot the face, we can shoot the hands, right?
The agreement is reached.
Recording started the next day.
–
Early in the morning, the program team set up the machine in their dining room, the home is spacious enough, and although there are many people on the directing team, their home is not completely occupied, there is still a lot of space.
Shan Qihuan and Shan Qixin hadn’t gotten up yet, and Shen Yuhan still didn’t have much idea about recording programs, he got up and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast as usual, the program was still recording, but his husband still had to go to work, at most, he would come back earlier than the other days.
Shen Yuhan had already dressed up before going downstairs, his long hair was tied behind his back, and his big black and white eyes looked at everyone, with a slight smile on his delicate face, the people who had not slept enough instantly became energetic.
Shen Yuhan tied an apron around himself, and turned to the director’s team, asking: “Have you had breakfast yet?”
The director, who was personally present, nodded: “Yes, Mr. Shen doesn’t need to worry about us, you can do whatever you usually do at home.”
“Okay.” Shen Yuhan went directly into the kitchen to help make breakfast.
The director asked if he could film the kitchen, Shen Yuhan said yes, so the cameraman followed him in.
If he can’t film people’s faces, he can always film the process of making breakfast.
As a result, everyone on the program team started to swallow their saliva after seeing the ingredients in the kitchen.
During the filming period, the auntie didn’t appear on camera, Shen Yuhan made breakfast for his husband and brother-in-law by himself, he was used to it, and was very proficient in the steps of making breakfast.
After almost a while, he went upstairs to call Shan Qihuan to get up, but the director didn’t dare to follow him upstairs to shoot him, so they could only shoot Shan Qixin getting up, in fact, they wanted to shoot Shen Yuhan more, so that he could capture the life of a wealthy and powerful family.
Shen Yuhan turned off the alarm on Shan Qihuan’s mobile phone, even if he turned on ten alarms, none of them could wake him up, he really didn’t want to wake his husband up, he had dark circles under his eyes.
“Husband, get up.” He lowered his head and whispered in his ear.
Obviously, his voice couldn’t wake up Shan Qihuan at all, so he could only do it step by step.
He pinched Shan Qihuan’s nose and began to raise his voice: “Husband, get up, if you don’t get up, the breakfast I made will be eaten up by brother-in-law, and you’ll only have white congee and pickles.”
“Mmm, I can’t afford it.” He was still very sleepy, encircling the person in his arms, murmuring, “Wife, I don’t want to get up.”
Shen Yuhan liked it when he called him wife, for this title, he was willing to let his husband sleep for ten more minutes.
Shan Qihuan, who was holding his wife in his arms, thought he was still asleep, but who knew that Shen Yuhan had been held in his arms for nearly ten minutes, stared at his face for ten minutes, and even pinched and rubbed his cheeks.
The role of ‘wife’ only lasted for ten minutes, and when the time was up, Shen Yuhan got out of his arms, and lifted the quilt mercilessly: “Mr. Shan, it’s time for you to get up and go to work.”
Shan Qihuan, who had recently returned to sleeping naked, felt chilled all over.
Very good, the only person who woke him up like this was his wife, he rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed: “Wake up, wake up, give me back the quilt.”
Of course, Shen Yuhan couldn’t return the quilt to him, instead, he pulled it to the end of the bed: “Give the quilt and you will sleep through it again, today we have to record brother-in-law’s program, Husband, please get up quickly.” He turned around and put the clothes he had prepared last night on the bed for him, “Is this set okay?”
Shan Qihuan woke up a bit and said: “Yes.” He jumped out of bed and kissed his wife on the face, “Wife, I don’t want to go to work.”
He would only call Shen Yuhan’s wife and act coquettishly with him when he wasn’t awake, Shen Yuhan hugged his waist and encouraged his husband who didn’t want to go to work: “Husband, go for it!” Then he pushed him into the bathroom to wash up, “Husband, hurry up, breakfast is ready.”
Shan Qihuan, who had just taken care of his physiological needs, subconsciously realized that he had just called him wife, and it became more and more smooth.
When Shen Yuhan went downstairs, he saw his brother-in-law with his head drooped and a sleepy look on his face, he didn’t seem to wake up from sleep, he was probably woken up by his manager’s call.
Shen Yuhan asked him: “Brother-in-law, juice or milk?”
Shan Qixin lay on the dining table: “I want to drink juice.”
Shen Yuhan said: “Oh, then you pour it yourself.”
Shan Qixin, who was countered by the routine, woke up a little: “No, Sister-in-law, we are recording the program today, aren’t you going to be friendly to me?”
“I see you’re so sleepy, you need to get up and walk around so you don’t get sleepy.” Shen Yuhan looked innocent, “I’m doing this for your own good.”
Shan Qixin resignedly poured the juice by himself: “Will you and my brother drink it?”
Shen Yuhan opened the lid of the pot and said: “I don’t drink, your brother drinks milk.”
Shan Qixin found Shan Qihuan’s cup, poured milk into it, and took two cups out.
A little while later, Shan Qihuan came out and went downstairs, he was quite uncomfortable seeing a group of people staying at his home, but his wife was quite comfortable, he thought he would not be used to it.
“What’s for breakfast?” Shan Qihuan usually sticks to his wife, but today he can only restrain himself a little.
Shen Yuhan nodded to today’s assortment: “Pan-fried dumplings6煎餃 (jiān jiǎo): Pan-fried dumplings. , congee, eggs, see for yourself, the milk is on the table, Brother-in-law poured it for you.”
“Um.” Shan Qihuan helped him take the congee out, a pot of fragrant milky congee, it smells delicious, his wife had the ability to make the simplest congee as good as nectar.
The program team filmed the process of them having breakfast, the main character was supposed to be Shan Qixin, but it ended up being Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan.
Shan Qihuan would peel eggs for Shen Yuhan, Shen Yuhan didn’t eat the yolks, so he would pick them out and eat them.
Shen Yuhan would also serve him congee, and ask him if he wanted to eat something in the evening, he could go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients later.
They get along naturally, and they also live at home, which is completely different from the rumors outside.
Shan Qixin has long been used to the way his brother and sister-in-law get along.
Yes, that’s how they are.
The program crew not only captured scenes of the husband and wife getting along intimately, Shen Yuhan would even walk Shan Qihuan out the door to work.
Shan Qihuan kissed him on the face, Shen Yuhan lowered his eyes and smiled softly: “Husband, you have to come back early today.”
Shan Qihuan hugged him gently on the waist: “Um, I’m leaving, if there’s anything, just send me a WeChat message or call me, okay?”
Only then did Shen Yuhan reluctantly send him to the car: “I know, Husband, don’t worry.”
After the car disappeared into the distance, he turned around and went back to the house, only to realize that a group of people were staring at him with burning eyes.
Shen Yuhan’s face instantly turned red and almost dripped blood!
Oh my God, my husband just kissed him in front of so many people!
The author has something to say:
Shan Qihuan: Director, don’t film the face, film something else!
Director: …
