Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 185 184. Han Xixi, the Little Liar
I chatted with Xixi all the way on my way to work today.

To round it off, it could be said that my wife made a special trip to take me to work.

Lin Xiao was in a good mood all day.

Today was once again a day with all kinds of weirdos pestering and trying to please him. Although Lin Xiao could handle it, he still felt a little annoyed.

Fortunately, when I was about to get off work, my wife sent me a WeChat message, excitedly telling me that the program had been recorded and that we were already on the highway heading back to Ninghai.

It was already 4:30 in the afternoon.

Originally, the two had planned that Xixi would not be back until Thursday, so they would go directly to his workplace to see him.

Now it's Wednesday, but it's almost seven o'clock when we get back.

Lin Xiao directly asked her to go back to Ninghai and wait for her in their small home.

Xixi readily agreed.

After the appointment, Lin Xiao prepared to get off work. As soon as the clock struck half past five, he rushed out with his briefcase, got in the car and headed straight for Ninghai.

Many cadres were shocked to see his impetuous attitude, and thought that he was frightened by the pursuit and blockade of enterprises, so he was in such an embarrassing situation.

I can't help but sigh: It seems that being a leader is not easy!
At half past six, we arrived at Tianlanyuan, a small house in Ninghai.

The roses and cooking ingredients ordered online arrived ahead of schedule and were left at my doorstep.

He started to get busy as soon as he entered the house. He opened the windows for ventilation, mopped the floor, changed the bed sheets, sprayed perfume in the room, placed roses at the head of the bed, and scattered a handful of petals on the bed.

After finishing all this, he turned off the main lights and turned on the ambient light at the head of the bed.

Well, yes, it looks quite unhealthy!
After everything was ready, I went to the kitchen, put on an apron, and prepared to cook.

I am busy all the time and never get tired of it.

The pork rib soup was put into the casserole, and the other dishes were very light. They could be eaten after being washed and fried in the pan. I planned to wait until Xixi got off the highway before making them.

When I came out of the kitchen, I saw that it was already past seven o'clock.

He picked up the phone and wanted to ask where Xixi was, but found that Xixi had already called him.

He hurried back.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hey, brother~"

Xixi's voice came over, but unexpectedly it was apologetic.

Lin Xiao asked: "Where are we?"

Xixi said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I may not be able to go back today..."

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment. It was unexpected yet inexplicably reasonable.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing, it's just that the 'Sound of Life' production team organized a dinner for the guests. All the other singers are present. I'm the youngest, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me not to attend..."

Xixi sounded apologetic.

Lin Xiao paused and found this reason easy to accept.

After all, as long as it is a circle of the Chinese nation, no matter how big or small, high or low, in the end it is all about personal relationships. It is impossible to stay completely out of it!

He understood, but still felt disappointed for no reason.

"But haven't you already got on the highway?" he asked persistently.

"We got on the highway. Jiajia and I were supposed to come back first, so I asked Sister Hui to attend the dinner in my place!"

Xixi explained, "But just now Sister Hui called and said that the director of Mango TV would also be there, and it would be bad if I didn't attend, so she called me back. We're almost in Star City now...Brother, don't be angry!"

Lin Xiao sighed and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, you are doing this for work, I feel sorry for you!"

Xixi asked, "Feeling sorry for me?"

Lin Xiao said: "Of course I feel sorry for you! You hate socializing the most, but you are forced to participate in this kind of event... In fact, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go! As long as you have a work, don't worry about the station manager, director, or seniors, they will still praise you!"

Xixi was silent and didn't say anything.

Lin Xiao hurriedly smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. It's okay for you to go! We still have to give the station director face. After all, Mango TV is also the leader of domestic music variety shows. The recording of "The Voice of China" will take three months. If the cooperation is good, there will definitely be a lot of music variety shows looking for you in the future. This can be regarded as a long-term meal ticket..."

After hearing his words, the tension on the other end of the phone eased.

"Brother, I hope you're not angry with me!"

"Silly girl, I'm not angry, but I have a request!"

"what?"

"You can have a dinner, but don't drink!" Lin Xiao said seriously.

"Well, don't worry, brother. I know my alcohol tolerance and I will never put myself in danger!"

Xixi patted her chest and assured.

Although Lin Xiao was still a little worried, he thought that Zhou Hui was also there and thought that nothing serious would happen, so he hung up the phone.

Xixi finally said that she bought him a gift to apologize and it should be home soon.

Lin Xiao had lost interest at this time, but still pretended to be happy and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, I looked at the clean and tidy house and the kitchen counter full of food, feeling a little melancholy.

"My goodness, I feel like a wife-watching rock now..."

Lin Xiao discovered his own signs and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I was planning to put all the food in the refrigerator.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

He guessed that it was the apology gift that Xixi bought, so he hurried to open the door.

Before opening the door, his face was still serious and bitter.

Unexpectedly, after opening the door, what came into view was a yellow plush toy, about the size of a human head.

A pair of white, slender fingers were holding up the stuffed toy, and a voice came from behind the toy: "Hello, is this Mr. Lin Daxiao's home?"

Funny voice, light tone.

In just one second, Lin Xiao understood everything. The great surprise made him overjoyed, but he forced himself to hold it back.

"Ahem...yeah, who are you?" he responded in a serious tone.

"I am Xiao Xiaoxi, the mascot of the Mango TV program "The Voice of China", and also Ms. Han Xixi's exclusive pet!"

"Oh!"

Lin Xiao pretended to be proud, but in fact, the corners of his mouth were already curled up, "Where is your master?"

Xiao Xiaoxi said, "My master couldn't come back because of something, so he sent me to apologize to Mr. Lin. May I go in?"

Lin Xiao cleared his throat and said, "I'm sorry, this is my wife and I's home, strangers are not allowed to enter!"

Xiao Xiaoxi said pitifully: "But, I'm Ms. Han Xixi's cute pet, can't I go in too?"

Lin Xiao said seriously: "I'm sorry, we only have one cute pet, named Lin Keke, and now she is fostered at my mother-in-law's house. As for you... you are so ugly, you are not worthy of being our cute pet!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Han Xixi, who was hiding behind Xiao Xiaoxi, could no longer hold back and flashed out.

"Hey! How is our little Xi ugly? She is obviously very cute, right?"

Xixi's voice also returned to normal, her skin became delicate and her expression became bright.

Lin Xiao looked at her with a quiet smile. It had only been three days since they last saw each other, but it felt like nine months.

"Why are you back? Didn't you say you had a dinner party? You were lying to me, right?" Lin Xiao asked.

“I didn’t lie to you!!”

Han Xixi said sternly, "I really got on the highway, and then Sister Hui called me and said that the director of Mango TV would come...but I still didn't go!"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this just lying to me?"

Xixi smiled with her starry eyes: "Hehe, give you a surprise, surprise?"

Lin Xiao snorted coldly.

Han Xixi was puzzled by this reaction and thought that she had really made him angry by doing this.

I was a little at a loss.

A big hand suddenly stretched out from inside the door and pulled her into the house. The door was kicked shut and a passionate kiss arrived before the sound of a "bang".

Lin Xiao put his arms around her waist, spread her legs, and held her like a crab as he walked into the room.

Take off as you go.

Xixi was overwhelmed, panicked, and shy.

"Well, brother..."

"Wait a minute, we haven't eaten yet..."

"Brother, take a bath..."

All her resistance was ruthlessly suppressed by Lin Badao until he pressed her down into the soft sheets.

Xixi's eyes could no longer see anything else, and the only sense of smell that could still function was her sense of smell, which she could smell the faint scent of roses.

This little confusion made her lose all the rationality she had accumulated along the way in an instant.

Then, after Lin Xiao paused for a moment, she took the initiative to kiss him, and used her misty eyes to squeeze out the last bit of his hesitation.

The curtains are drawn.

The lights go out.

On a midsummer evening, it was not yet dark outside the window at 7:30, and the dim light was enough to see each other's outlines clearly.

When the curtains were opened again, the moon was already at its zenith and the night was very bright.

Lin Xiao prepared dinner.

Xixi then changed into pajamas and came out, holding a rose on the bedside table in her hand, her blushing cheeks more beautiful than the flower.

Lin Xiao was fascinated by what he saw and felt a little impulsive.

He suppressed himself and said softly, "Wife, it's time to eat~~"

Xixi glared at him unhappily.

"Do you still need to eat? Aren't you full?"

"Forehead……"

Lin Xiao's eyes did not evade at all, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "In fact, I'm only half full, it's not impossible to eat another meal..."

Han Xixi stared when she heard this.

Thinking of the madness just now, my cheeks turned red, my whole body felt hot, and I was even a little scared.

So he didn't dare to argue anymore.

I found a glass vase, put the roses in it, and placed it in the middle of the dining table.

He admired it with great interest, then sat down contentedly and drank the pork rib soup slowly.

Lin Xiao was standing opposite her, admiring her with tender eyes.

"Do you like the roses I bought you so much?" he joked.

"Humph, I don't like it. You don't even like my Xiao Xiaoxi!"

Xixi pretended to be angry.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiao shouted "thump thump thump" and took out the bright yellow doll from under the table and held it in front of himself.

"Who said I don't like it? This little thing is ugly and cute, but it's quite adorable!"

"Hey!!"

Xixi shouted, "Cute is cute, what do you mean ugly and cute? It's obviously very good-looking. The program team specially created it based on my appearance!"

Lin Xiao was embarrassed.

"Well... I can only say that the production crew's workmanship is poor. They didn't even preserve one hundred thousandth of my wife's beauty!"

"..."

Xixi was stunned. She knew that he was trying to make up for it, but she didn't know how to refute him.

He could only hum proudly and continue drinking soup and eating vegetables in a leisurely state.

Lin Xiao was not hungry at all. He folded his hands on the table and looked at her with an uncontrollable smile.

"Wife?"

"What are you doing?" Xixi was annoyed! "You don't want to attend the dinner with the production team. Is that okay? Aren't you afraid that other singers will say you are being arrogant and target you during the recording session?"

Lin Xiao asked worriedly.

Xixi didn't care: "Just target her! My mom has always told me not to force myself to do things I don't like, especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships. The consequence of forcing myself is that I won't be happy, and others won't be satisfied either. It's better to make your attitude clear from the beginning. Over time, people will accept your special quirks, and they may even explain to others on your behalf: Oh, she's just like that, you'll get used to it!"

Lin Xiao nodded in agreement.

Even though I have lived for several decades longer, I am not as good as Xixi in this kind of situation as she has been following the family leaders since she was a child. She has learned the essence of it, almost to the point where it has been integrated into her blood and she can do it effortlessly.

Xixi said, and smiled slyly: "Besides, don't I still have my brother as my big backer?"

Lin Xiao was happy: "Me?"

Xixi said with a smile: "Yes! My brother is a great talent, the kind who can write masterpieces in a minute! If the station director hates me and other singers target me, I can let my brother make a shining debut and write a good song for me that will go viral on the Internet. Wouldn't that solve everything?"

These words were said in a very funny and exaggerated way, making Lin Xiao laugh out loud.

Then he pretended to be reserved and serious and said, "Ahem, you want me to write a song? That's difficult! I'm not easy to ask!"

Han Xixi smiled slyly: "Can't I invite you?"

Lin Xiao glanced at her and grinned: "You can do it! With our relationship, even if you don't have any credit, you have worked hard!"

As he said this, he raised his eyebrows lecherously.

Han Xixi was stunned for a moment before she realized what she meant and felt immediately embarrassed.

“Lin Xiao!!!”

"Wrong, wrong, I was wrong!"

Lin Xiao emphasized that a real man can bend and stretch, and hurriedly said, "I'll write it for you, for free, I'm eager to do it!"

Han Xixi snorted coldly: "That's more like it!"

He has the look of a villain who has succeeded, and is arrogant and wanton.

Lin Xiao looked at her face and realized that she had finally let go of her disguise as a lady in front of him, revealing her truest and most pampered side. He felt very relieved.

As a couple, the most comfortable state is when they can be themselves and rely on each other with peace of mind.

Of course, Lin Xiao actually knew that Xixi was just talking.

She herself is not a very career-oriented person.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have given up such an important dinner and went home to eat the simple meals prepared by my husband.

It is too risky to expect that he can turn the tide in the music industry time and time again by writing songs.

After all, Lin Xiao knew that he could write songs easily, but Xixi didn't know that.

Instead of counting on his sudden inspiration, it is better to act according to the rules and seize the existing opportunities to move up step by step!

So, Xixi didn't say a word that she missed him.

But she was able to withstand such great pressure, leave Star City and return to their little home.

This in itself is enough to show that in her heart, love and her husband are far ahead of her career.

Lin Xiao understood this, and his eyes became softer as he looked at his wife.

How could I bear to let such a lovely girl lose?

He has already started thinking about what new song he should write for his wife next time to help consolidate her position and popularity in the music industry!

……

That night, the couple was in love with each other.

Although they can't work on creating offspring all night long, the couple always maintain a close fit even when they are not in bed.

Even when Lin Xiao was washing dishes, Xixi would cling to him tightly from behind, not minding the sticky smell of sweat on his body at all.

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Of course, he let her do it, since his wife loved him so much.

After cleaning up the kitchen, he suggested going for a walk.

Xixi was indifferent to this activity at first, but after she confirmed her relationship with him, she liked it more and more, and even got a little addicted to it.

But today, she rarely shook her head.

Lin Xiao was surprised: "Not going? What's wrong, are you tired?"

Xixi shook her head and said, "It's not that I'm tired... It's that when I came back, I was almost recognized in the elevator, so..."

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, not expecting this to be the reason.

But if you think about it, it does make sense.

This house is a high-rise building. He bought a high floor specifically for the lighting and view.

It’s not so bad in winter because everyone wears warm clothes. When Xixi puts on a big mask, she is hard to be recognized standing at the back of the elevator.

But it's summer now.

If she wears a big mask and a big hat, she will attract attention, and if she doesn't wear them, she will be recognized even more easily.

That’s why there was that thrilling scene in the elevator just now.

After hearing this, Lin Xiao seemed to be thinking about something.

In the end, he just said, "Do you want to go for a walk?"

Xixi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Then let's go down the stairs. When we come back up, if there's no one on the first floor, we'll take the elevator. If there's no one, we'll climb the stairs. It'll be like exercise. Didn't you say you ate too much tonight?"

Xixi's eyes lit up and she readily agreed.

The two of them changed into sportswear, sprayed themselves with floral water, and then went out.

I wandered around all night for more than two hours.

The two of them now have endless things to talk about. Even though their work has no overlap, they are still very patient in listening to each other talk about the little things they have encountered, and actively give suggestions and opinions. They are having a great time chatting.

By the time we got back to the community, it was almost 12 o'clock.

The young couple were both startled, not realizing how time had passed so quickly. They stood at the entrance of the building and smiled at each other like two fools.

After taking a shower, the young couple lay on the bed and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Lin Xiao was not honest again, but Xixi strictly forbade him, and advised Uncle Lin to be moderate and not become powerless in his forties!
Lin Xiao was really frightened.

Only then did I realize that finding a wife who is several years younger than me would cause endless troubles!

After hugging each other all night, both of them slept very soundly.

The next day is Thursday, and there are two working days left in this week.

Lin Xiao took a leave of absence and stayed at home to accompany his wife.

It's not that he deliberately acted like a leader and didn't take the unit's attendance seriously, but it just so happened that the Jiajia Village rural renovation project was put up for public bidding online this Friday.

These two days will be the last chance for local construction companies to frantically win over and corrupt him.

Lin Xiao is confident that he can hold the bottom line.

But dealing with this group of people was too tiring, so he simply slipped away and stayed away.

Those people can't find him, there's nothing they can do, right?

Qin Zhenggang nodded in agreement to this idea and generously gave him leave.

After listening to his whole story, Han Xixi's heart finally settled down.

I accepted this rare sweet vacation with peace of mind.

However, even though the couple reunited on a weekday, they didn't have many places to go because of Xixi's big-star style.

I went to pick up the little tabby cat Lin Gege early on Thursday morning.

The family of three stayed at home all day, went to Jili Garden for dinner in the evening, and returned home after nine o'clock.

Xixi really couldn't stand being in the same room with the pervert, so she decided to go to her grandparents' house on Friday to visit them.

I called the old couple in the evening.

The next morning, Lin Xiao went to buy gifts for the visit, and then picked up his wife and went straight to Mingyue Garden.

Knowing that her most beloved granddaughter was coming, Shen Suzhi took a rare opportunity to go out as a volunteer. She went to buy vegetables early in the morning and prepared a table full of Xixi's favorite food.

It was 11 o'clock in the morning when the couple arrived.

Lin Xiao took the initiative to go to the kitchen and took over the cooking task from his grandmother. He refused to let an old lady in her seventies cook for him.

Shen Suzhi tried to snatch it several times, but couldn't persuade her grandson-in-law, so she could only let him do his work.

She stood at the kitchen door, watching the handsome young man skillfully chopping vegetables and cooking them, her eyes full of admiration. She felt that this grandson-in-law was much more pleasing to the eye than the eldest son-in-law she had seen more than 20 years ago.

There was smoke rising from the kitchen.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Han Xixi asked in surprise: "Grandma, are there any guests today?"

Shen Suzhi was also surprised and asked her husband Liu Zhongshan about it. The old man also looked confused.

She went to open the door, looked through the peephole and then said with relief: "Oh, it's the boy from your grandfather Xie's family. I ran into him while taking a walk last night and he was talking about Xie Bin bringing his girlfriend over today... I don't know why he came to our house!"

Liu Zhongshan said disapprovingly, "Xie Bin is also a child who grew up next to us. He is polite and sensible. He often ate at our house when he was young. I guess he brought his partner here to say hello. He is not an outsider. Let's let him in!"

Han Xixi was actually a little hesitant.

But since her grandfather had spoken, she couldn't refuse. After all, Xie Bin was not a stranger.

So he quickly put down his legs that were crossed on the sofa and sat up straight.

Shen Suzhi opened the door, there was a commotion at the door, and then Xie Bin appeared in the living room with a young girl.

"Hello, Grandpa Liu...Xixi, you are here too!"

Xie Bin greeted politely and was not surprised to see Han Xixi.

Xixi nodded and smiled: "Thank you, Brother Bin!"

Xie Bin smiled and quickly introduced her to the two elders: "This is my girlfriend Du Xue. We are going to get engaged soon. I brought her here today to meet my grandparents. She was taken care of by you two when she was a child, so I thought of bringing her here to let you two take a look at her!"

Seeing this, Du Xue hurriedly called out sweetly, "Hello, Grandpa Liu, Hello, Grandma Shen!"

Although he was calling the two elderly people, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Han Xixi. It was obvious that he knew that the granddaughter of this family today was the nationally famous singing superstar.

Du Xue couldn't hide her excitement.

Shen Suzhi praised her familiarly, saying that they were a perfect match, and then she asked them to sit down and went to the room.

The atmosphere in the living room was a little awkward.

Finally, it was Xie Bin who spoke up: "Xixi, did you come here alone?"

Xixi smiled and said, "No, I came with my husband. He's in the kitchen cooking!"

After hearing this, Xie Bin glanced into the kitchen and saw the back of the man who was skillfully stirring the wok. A complex and strange look flashed in his eyes.

Du Xue was completely unaware of this and was completely focused on the fact that "the big star is right in front of me". She wondered if it was inappropriate to ask for an autograph in this situation!
About to speak.

Shen Suzhi came out of the room, took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Du Xue's hand, which made the couple flattered.

After some pushing and shoving, Xie Bin finally let his girlfriend accept it.

Shen Suzhi invited Xie Bin to stay for dinner, but Xie Bin refused again and again and left with Du Xue.

As soon as the two men left, Lin Xiao came out with the meal ready and invited his wife and the two elderly people to eat.

Xixi hurried to the kitchen to help.

"Did someone come just now?" Lin Xiao seemed to hear some noise.

"Um……"

"Who?"

"Xie Bin and his girlfriend, come and say hello to grandpa and grandma!"

"Um?!"

Lin Xiao frowned in surprise.

I wanted to ask why this person was here, and why he came here not earlier or later, but just when Xixi came to visit her grandparents.

But I didn't say anything when I saw my wife's frank expression and her cute look when she burned her mouth while tasting the fried bacon with garlic sprouts.

I suddenly felt that those passers-by A, B, and C were really not that important.

"Let's eat~~"
