Married for a long time

The two singers walking towards each other can be regarded as old men in Jueling. They are both around thirty years old. Xue Fan has been practicing Jueling for more than nine years, and Chen Hua has been practicing Juiling for seven years.

Both are second- and third-tier singers in the music industry. They both debuted relatively early, but they both have their own unique fan base.

Today I mainly took photos for personal promotions for the Chengzhou Music Festival, as well as individual promotional videos for the fan meeting.

In addition to the three of them, there is another newcomer who was signed by Jueling the year before last. He is a younger brother who is an idol and is good at singing and dancing. His name is Wen Jiayao. He is very handsome and has high traffic.

Shen Jue gave one of the three songs she wrote to Jue Ling years ago to him.

After the single was released, the number of plays and downloads were pretty good.

Qin Man met them all for the first time. They said hello to several people. After getting familiar with each other, Qin Man waited for them to greet Shen Jue and went to shoot a promotional video for the fan meeting together.

The festival's promotional video is scheduled for after [-] p.m.

The itinerary is simply not too full.

When they arrived, Wen Jiayao had already started putting on makeup. As soon as he saw them arriving, he immediately stood up to say hello, calling "senior" and "teacher" politely and respectfully.

There was also a song performance on the day of the fan meeting. In addition to solo performances by each of them, there were also duets by two or four people. There were about ten songs in total.

After changing clothes and sitting down to put on makeup, the four of them started discussing the song.

An hour later, the makeup was done and the shooting phase began.

It didn't end until around two o'clock, when Shen Jue brought lunch.

Although it is a box lunch, it is still quite rich. One rice, two boxes of vegetables, and one soup. It contains not only shrimps, but also beef and braised pork.

Qin Man was extremely hungry for a long time, and she ate several mouthfuls to suppress her hunger.

Xue Fan is more outspoken and talkative, and he speaks with a Northeastern accent, which is particularly interesting.

He is also very good at picking up jokes. Just because of his presence during the filming, the atmosphere on set was always lively and there was constant laughter.

Even if he started gossiping now, it was as if he was chatting about everyday things, "Qin Man, I have something very curious. I wonder if you can help me clarify it."

Hearing him speak so politely, she raised her eyes and said, "Teacher Xue, please."

"How did you meet Huo Yanchi, the president of Huo Group?"

Hearing this, the other two people also looked at Qin Man.

It was clear they were curious too.

Qin Man met their gazes, raised her eyebrows, and took a bite of the chicken leg. "I didn't expect that you men are also so gossipy?"

"What are you talking about?" Xue Fan deliberately pretended, and gave Qin Man a "hateful" look, "At this time, we are all sisters. Don't you girls like to share this with your sisters?"

The two people next to me also chose the default in order to listen to the gossip.

Qin Man: "..."

She felt that there were similarities between Xue Fan and Shen Jue being friends, for example, there was no lower limit.

"I forgot, it's been too many years." She replied after her eyes wandered for two seconds.

"You are so perfunctory," Chen Hua said.

Wen Jiayao nodded in agreement.

Xue Fan didn't buy it either, "That's right, it's still too many years. How many years exactly?"

"I've known him since I was in kindergarten. My grandfather and his grandfather were good friends and we had a lot of contact, probably for more than [-] years."

"Childhood sweethearts." Wen Jiayao sighed.

"Awesome, then you two fell in love and got married?"

"Ah."

"Why wasn't it made public?"

"Teacher Xue, if you keep asking, I will charge a fee." Qin Man joked.

"I'll transfer the two hundred to you later."

"Tsk, you are so stingy."

Xue Fan put down the bowl, "We should be evenly matched, the eldest brother, let alone the second brother. I saw a red envelope at the Adjue Office this morning. It was said to be a meeting gift from you, and it was only two hundred."

"He and I are not related to each other, so it's very generous to give his godson two hundred dollars, okay? I still think he called me old." Qin Man argued.

"You're getting a good deal and still acting nice."

After dinner, Qin Man had no time to chat with them anymore, and was urged by Xia Li to rush to the next filming location.

There were ten singers in total in the Chengzhou concert, and each singer had three songs.

Qin Man is not the main singer, so she only needs to take a few Weibo promotional photos.

It just took a long time to put on makeup. By the time the photoshoot was finished, it was already 07:30.

Shen Jue called her and asked her to go to dinner together in the evening, but she refused.

She had gotten up at five o'clock in the morning to catch the flight, and by now she was tired and sleepy. Before Shen Jue could finish speaking, she ruthlessly replied "I don't have time" and hung up the phone.

The car and driver were arranged for her by Shen Jue.

Charlie doesn't have to drive, which is convenient. I can order takeout for her first so that she can have a quick meal when she gets back to the hotel.

When she arrived at the hotel, Qin Man was not very hungry. She took off her makeup and took a comfortable bath. While having dinner with Charlie, she suddenly received a voice call from Ye Yingxi.

"Hey."

She was chewing something in her mouth and eating lazily.

Ye Yingxi, "What are you doing?"

Qin Man, "Let's do the cooking."

Ye Yingxi was recording a program at this time, and the task she was assigned was to call the last person she chatted with on WeChat today to borrow money to buy stocks.

It just so happened that Qin Man was the last one.

The audience, host and guests at the scene had the urge to laugh when they heard her very straightforward words. It was the host who was trying his best to control the scene so that the secret was not revealed.

"Ahem, don't do anything for a while, I have something to do with you."

"What?"

"I am interested in a stock. I feel it is pretty good and has a strong upward trend, but I still have little liquid cash in hand. I would like to borrow 50 from you."

Qin Man was stunned for a few seconds, and the food on the chopsticks fell into the bowl with a bang.

Ye Yingxi is actually quite uneasy. She and Qin Man have a good relationship now, but they are not familiar enough to borrow money, and they still ask for 50.

What if Qin Man said something shocking on the phone and harmed her?

Then wouldn’t she become a sinner through the ages?
But what Qin Man said next made her stunned.

"Really? Send me your account number and I'll transfer the money to you later." Qin Man put down her chopsticks, took a sip of water, and said seriously, "Which stock? I'll buy some too. How much do you plan to invest?" Go in?"

Ye Yingxi couldn't help laughing, "You still want to buy shares?"

"This is called getting the money-making skill +1. The more money is, the better."

"Hahaha, it's for you, the money addict. I'm actually recording a show, and the task I just won requires me to borrow money from you."

Qin Man was silent for a moment, "Goodbye!"

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Charlie next to her had laughed to tears, and the whole room was filled with laughter.

Qin Man twitched the corner of her mouth, "So, what I just said won't be broadcast, right?"

"What do you think? You have been so topical during this period, and what happened just now was so funny. The program team must be reluctant to cut it out, and judging from the voice on the other end of the phone, it seems that there are many viewers."

"It's over. It looks like my people are about to collapse. How long have they been standing?"

Qin Man sighed, picked up her phone again and angrily sent a message to Ye Yingxi to accuse her.

She had no work arrangements for the next day, but Charlie, who couldn't rest, didn't dare to slack off for the sake of her future.

She lay in the hotel all day, and sent a few messages to Huo Yanchi at noon. She found that his attitude was very cold, and finally ended the chat on the grounds that he had a meeting.She looked at the chat interface for a while and then sent another voice message, "Are you angry?"

Huo Yanchi didn't reply to her quickly, as if he was really busy.

It wasn't until she was dragged out to dinner by the enthusiastic Shen Jue in the evening that he responded to the message at the dinner table.

Besides him and Xue Fan, there was a boy and two girls at the table.

Qin Man looked at the 'no' message he sent. The two short words were full of indifference.

Although Huo Yanchi's messages were usually brief and cold, but with a woman's sixth intuition, she could clearly feel that Huo Yanchi's mood was not right when he was typing.

She got up and said 'make a phone call' before leaving the table and went outside the restaurant to make a phone call.

As soon as the call was connected, she asked sweetly, "Have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"It's almost eight o'clock, why haven't you eaten yet?" She complained with concern, "Your stomach trouble is caused by not eating properly and on time."

"We'll go eat later."

"Are you angry?"

"No."

"Huo Yanchi, you are not sincere. You usually say you won't lie to me or anything." She snorted and said deliberately.

Huo Yanchi pursed his lips and repeated calmly, "No anger."

The sound line seemed muffled.

He was not angry, but at the moment when his inner expectations were disappointed, he felt a little unhappy and emotionally unhappy.

When Qin Man was about to say something to coax him, a dark shadow suddenly covered her behind.

She trembled in fright and let out an 'ah' sound. Seeing that it was Shen Jue, she punched his arm without mercy, "You are sick, you're scary."

Shen Jue felt that he was wronged, "You are really heartless, Qin Man. I was so afraid that you would be cold that I came out to give you clothes, and you still beat me."

The spring in Nandu is still very cold, especially at night. She just talked to Huo Yanchi on the phone and she didn't feel it very much. Now she saw her coat, couldn't help but shuddered, took it and put it on.

"Thank you." She smiled sweetly.

"You can change your face faster than turning the pages of a book."

Shen Jue waved his hand, turned around and entered the house.

Huo Yanchi listened quietly on the other end of the phone, feeling more frustrated and unhappy than before, and even a little panicked.

"Huo Yanchi."

"Ah."

"I've booked a flight for the day after tomorrow. I'll arrive around [-]:[-]. Are you free that day? Do you want to pick me up?"

"Ah."

"You are so cold."

Huo Yanchi pursed his lips tighter. He had never seen Shen Jue and didn't know him.

But he knew that it was a member of the opposite sex who had been closely friends with Qin Man since a few years ago. He saw them chatting and talking on the phone many times.

As for the content, he didn't read it specifically. He only listened to some of them, which were all about work. Occasionally, there were a few jokes and Qin Man's complaints interspersed.

He didn't misunderstand what would happen to them, he was just a little jealous when he saw that his wife was so good with the opposite sex.

Maybe he was too selfish. Sometimes he really wanted to keep Qin Man by his side all the time, or hide her in private so that others could not see her beautiful and lovely side.

Possessiveness, once it breaks out in her, is completely uncontrollable.

"Waiting for you to come back." He whispered.

Qin Man smiled, feeling that this person couldn't help but laugh, so she smiled and nodded, "Okay, then remember to go to dinner later."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Man returned to the dining table and quickly became involved in their pleasant chat atmosphere again.

When he left the restaurant, a cold wind hit him. Qin Man shrank his neck, and snowflakes started to fall in the sky.

Shen Jue's friend wanted to go to the bar, but Xue Fan declined. After all, he was a public figure. If he was photographed, he didn't know what kind of trouble would happen.

Qin Man didn't want to go either. She didn't have much interest in places like bars.

"Is there a shopping mall here? I want to go shopping."

"Manman, do you want to buy anything?" a girl asked.

"Buy a gift for my husband. Because someone is so unconscionable that he made me break our appointment. As a result, my husband is angry now and needs to be coaxed." Qin Man said, looking at Shen Jue with a hint of anger. Resentment.

Shen Jue: "..."

Click him.

He grinned and said, "Is your husband still angry? Why did you have a date?"

"Do you care?" Qin Man crossed his arms and said, "Let's go, you go with me."

"What am I going to do?" Shen Jue looked stunned.

"Buy the order."

"Damn it, Qin Man, you are the one who is so heartless, okay? You buy a gift for your man and you want me to pay for it, are you a human being?"

The people next to him burst into laughter, and the girl smiled and said, "Manman, let me go shopping with you."

"Okay."

Qin Man happily agreed, and then looked at Shen Jue, "I will pay for my man's gift myself. But you haven't given me a gift for your aunt yet. I don't care about it, so let's pick it out together today."

"Why don't you become the boss? You are even more evil than me."

"That's okay, just transfer Jueling's shares to me."

"Just play."

Shen Jue said he was not happy, but he still followed him.

Qin Man's variety show recording went smoothly the next day, and she returned to Jingjun the morning after tomorrow.

Huo Yanchi came to the airport to pick him up as he said on the phone that day.

As soon as she saw him, she rushed over, threw her arms around his neck, and jumped to her feet.

Huo Yanchi held her waist firmly and looked at her with his dark eyes.

Qin Man raised her head and looked at him, her bright and clear apricot eyes reflecting his outline, her smile as bright as a flower, "Did you miss me?"

Ask knowingly.

But he still said 'hmm'.

Seeing that this little farewell was better than a newlywed, Charlie looked at the young couple who looked at each other and couldn't tolerate outsiders. She raised her forehead and said, "You two, let's go first. It won't be good if we are recognized and photographed."

Huo Yanchi then took her suitcase with one hand and led her to the parking lot with the other.

And Xia Li consciously did not work as a light bulb and had no other work today, so she took the initiative to take a taxi back.

Back at Yiliangju, Qin Man looked at the man who was taking off his coat. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he had a strong and solid physique tucked into the white shirt.

She walked over, hugged his waist from behind, pressed her face against his back, and asked softly, "Are you not angry anymore?"

Huo Yanchi was stunned, grabbed her hand and turned around, quickly pressed her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Strong and domineering, it seems that he has been patient for a long time.

After a while, Qin Man felt out of breath, and when she started to refuse, he let go and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you think?"
