The Secret of Second Marriage

Paris is a romantic city.

I signed the contract, and on Monday, I flew to France with my bodyguard, Uncle Geng, and the production crew.

We're going to shoot wedding photos and a music video there for three days.

After finishing filming on set, Shen Xing also flew to Paris, France that same evening.

We stayed at the same hotel.

After passing through security, I checked into a well-known hotel in Paris with my visa, wallet, and suitcase.

In the unfamiliar streets of a foreign land, the buildings are all Western-style, and there are galleries, cafes, bookstores and pubs everywhere.

Along the Seine, the breeze is intoxicating, the dusk is free, and this moment of reverie is priceless.

It was a bit chilly in Paris at the end of spring.

Shen Xing was wearing a white down jacket and a gray scarf. He was tall and had handsome, clear features.

He's really handsome; he's the kind of person who stands out in a crowd.

I sat on a red stool in a café by the Seine and drank a hot milk coffee.

Shen Xing sat down next to me naturally and also ordered a coffee.

He said, "Paris is so romantic, perfect for dating. Sis, do you like it here?"

"It's quite far away and unfamiliar; I wouldn't say I like it."

I am a 30-year-old middle-aged woman. I have spent the first half of my life in marriage. I never thought that I would go abroad one day, let alone visit Paris and sit here to drink coffee in a dignified and elegant manner.

The surrounding area was filled with all sorts of foreigners.

Shen Xing said, "Sister, the city is always so warm with you here."

After Shen Xing and I finished our coffee and strolled through the Paris night market, we prepared to return to the hotel.

As we were walking and almost reached the hotel, a little foreign girl was suddenly selling flowers. Her basket was full of roses, and she was selling them on the street with a sign in English that said five dollars a bunch.

Shen Xing ran over and bought all the roses in her basket, wrapped them in paper, and gave them to me.

A bunch of bright red roses lay in my arms, catching me a little off guard.

He said somewhat shyly and bashfully, "Sis, this is the first time in my life I've given flowers to a woman. Do you like them?"

"That's nice, but I can't accept it."

I say.

Shen Xing and I only came out this time to create a CP (couple pairing) and be linked together to increase the popularity of the variety show and film the third episode.

I don't want to turn this into reality.

Shen Xing remained silent.

I placed the roses in his arms, turned around and entered the hotel elevator. Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, and just as the elevator doors were about to close, he suddenly blocked the doors with his hand. The elevator doors reopened, and he walked in holding a bouquet of flowers.

"I'm only giving these flowers to you, Man. Take them or leave them. You can dispose of them yourself."

The moment the elevator doors closed, Shen Xing turned around and hugged me, holding me close in her arms, and said with lingering fear.

He lowered his head and kissed my forehead, saying, "Sis, you actually like me a little bit too, don't you?"

He gently stroked my forehead with one hand, then lowered his head to kiss me.

His kiss wasn't the overwhelming, domineering kind that President Jiang gave; instead, it was a gradual, gentle kiss, like a clear spring.

A large bouquet of roses was scattered all over the ground.

He wore a white down jacket over a white shirt and light gray suit pants, and exuded a pleasant minty scent.

My body stiffened slightly. I reached out and covered his lips with my hand, calmly saying, "Shen Xing, please restrain yourself. This isn't appropriate for us."

"Sister, I can't control myself even a little bit."

Shen Xing turned and bit my ear, her warm breath filling it and making my face instantly turn red.

I glared at him angrily: "Do you think this is funny? What kind of relationship do we have now, and you kiss me like that? Shen Xing, do you believe I'll report you for harassment?"

"Sis, I know you like President Jiang, but can you be my girlfriend for three days? Just three days, in a foreign country, let's have a romantic relationship. I truly love you."

Shen Xing is as elegant as a gentleman.

"Nonsense"

I was a little flustered, but only these two words came to my lips.

Did he think I was the kind of woman who only dated for three days?

To be honest, I've always been cold-blooded and have always known exactly what kind of person is right for me and what kind of man I shouldn't touch.

Shen Xing is the kind of younger brother you can't touch.

There's another reason: my boyfriend, Mr. Jiang, is in detention waiting for his trial, and I can't do anything to betray him at this time...

Even if she wanted to break up with President Jiang, she should have waited for him to come out and broken up with him openly, instead of sneaking around and having an affair with Shen Xing in a foreign country.

"Man, maybe in your eyes I'm just a younger brother born in the 00s, but I want to tell you that I'm not an indecisive man."

Tell me, do you choose President Jiang or me? Give me a straight answer, okay?

In Shen Xing's eyes, I will always be that proper and aloof woman.

Do you really need this answer right now?

I asked calmly.

Shen Xing said, "Sister, I'm already hopelessly entangled in this relationship. Since you don't like me, just give me a clean break."

"Okay, Shen Xing, I'll tell you the answer."

I don't like you, don't flatter yourself! You only came to record this show to create a CP (couple pairing) and generate buzz. It was the production team's request. You're in the entertainment industry too, you know this is common practice there..."

I said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Do you really think so?"

Shen Xing suddenly lost her composure, her eyes reddening.

He probably never expected me to say such heartless things.

He appeared silent, but in reality, he slammed his fists hard against the elevator wall next to me, injuring my fingers and scraping them, and blood quickly seeped out.

"Yes"

I say.

"Fine, Jiang Man, for all this time, it's just me, Shen Xing, being the only one who's been acting like a fool."

Shen Xing cried.

He pulled a diamond necklace from his pocket. It was quite beautiful, shaped like snowflakes, with a diamond set in the center of each snowflake pattern. It looked sparkling and resembled a queen's crown from a fairy tale.

This necklace was carefully selected by him.

He said, "Since you've already made up your mind, there's no point in having this anymore."

He threw it directly into the elevator.

The elevator doors opened, and this time he didn't wait for me; he left immediately.

My heart is filled with mixed feelings at this moment, and I admit I am a little touched.

But that little bit of emotion couldn't shake my mature values ​​and rationality.

I took a deep breath, picked up the necklace from the elevator floor, and looking at the scattered roses, I couldn't bear it, so I picked up a dozen or so whole, beautiful, and vibrant roses and returned to my hotel room.

After I got back to the hotel, I put the roses in a glass bottle and then searched for the price of the necklace online. I found out that the necklace was a custom-made piece and cost 25 yuan.

I put the necklace in the gift box and will return it to Shen Xing when the time is right.

During our three days in Paris, Shen Xing and I took many portrait photos, wedding photos, and a wedding music video.

We are both very dedicated actors, and we took wedding photos at the Eiffel Tower, the Champs-Élysées in Paris, and Notre Dame Cathedral.

The production team also rented more than a dozen black Mercedes-Benz wedding cars and held a complete wedding ceremony for us in a church, and of course, filmed the entire GG ceremony as well.

My eyes lit up when I saw Shen Xing dressed as the groom.

He's really handsome, radiating youthful energy. He has milk-white skin without an ounce of fat, a strong physique, and those puppy-like eyes.

I admit he was a huge temptation for me, and now I finally understand why middle-aged men are so easily drawn to young and beautiful college students in the workplace.

I almost succumbed to the attack from this very spot.

But my relationship with Shen Xing in private is very polite...

Ever since that day when I confessed my feelings to him and was rejected, he has been treating me with utmost respect, calling me "senior" instead of "sister."

We didn't exchange a single word on set, but we had amazing chemistry when we started filming, and the final product was fantastic.

Three days later, I boarded a plane back to China. When the plane flew from Paris back to Beijing and I got off at the familiar airport, the moment the dust settled, I had a real feeling of coming home.

Although the scenery abroad is beautiful, the language barrier and the food are really bad. It's bread for every meal, and I'm about to throw up...

As soon as I got off the plane, I went to a hot pot restaurant and had a hot pot meal.

Shen Xing returned to China in the same batch as me.

He went to the film crew non-stop and stayed in Hengdian for almost 365 days a year.

Looking at his schedule, which was packed with activities, I realized that being an idol these days isn't easy. To gain exposure and fame, they have to work non-stop, filming dramas, appearing on variety shows, and so on. Being a male celebrity is really not easy.

It looks glamorous on the outside, but the internal competition is extremely fierce.

I returned to Beijing.

Mom and Dad are back too.

Xia Weiwei has been calling her mother a lot lately, saying that she has admitted her mistake, that she has been having a hard time outside, and that her belly is getting bigger every day. She hopes to go back to her parents' home to stay and have someone to take care of her.

My dad rejected her outright: "Xia Weiwei, you got pregnant out of wedlock, and he can't even afford a dowry. You still think he loves you? You're completely out of your mind!"

My dad has spent his whole life in the business world, what kind of people hasn't he seen?

Dad could tell at a glance that Yang Nan didn't truly love you; he was just after the Xia family's resources and status.

"If you want to marry him, then marry him. But I will not give the Yang family a single penny of the Xia family's money!"

"Dad, I really know I was wrong... Please let me go back to my parents' home to recuperate after childbirth. The child in my belly is your own grandson. Aren't you going to do anything about it? Why are you so heartless as to leave me out here to fend for myself?"

Xia Weiwei said, crying.

My dad was no longer willing to indulge his willful daughter, and said directly: "You brought all this on yourself. You could have lived a comfortable life as a pampered young lady at home, but you insisted on marrying a man from a poor background who has achieved success."

Let me tell you, putting everything else aside, his parents are in poor health and have no pension. If you marry him, you'll never be able to fill the hole!

Your sister is much more clear-headed and rational than you. You should learn from her and find out the true colors of that scumbag sooner.
