The wealthy military officer spoils his wife excessively

Qin Jiangfeng chuckled self-deprecatingly, stubbed out his cigarette, stood up, and tossed her his motorcycle helmet: "Since I've had your drink, I'll be your free chauffeur. Where do you live?"

Suwen followed him to the car and skillfully mounted the motorcycle.

"Hold on tight!"

As soon as Suwen fastened her helmet, she felt herself lurch forward, the motorcycle beneath her shooting off like an arrow. Suwen pressed herself tightly against his back, instinctively hugging his waist. There was only one helmet on the motorcycle; Qin Jiangfeng had given it to her. The wind whistled past her ears; he wasn't wearing a helmet, so his ears ached from the wind.

Qin Jiangfeng carried her through the city under the perfect night sky, leaving her far behind in the streets and alleys. The motorcycle sped through the empty streets like a fish darting about. The sharp wind ruffled her bangs, which were peeking at her, and even stung her eyes. He was going too fast, paying no heed to traffic lights or rules. When turning, the motorcycle was almost touching the ground.

He sped from one end of the city to the other in just twenty minutes, arriving at her apartment building.

Qin Jiangfeng stopped the car under the quiet streetlights in the residential area. Su Wen took off her helmet, jumped off the car, and her face was still cold and stiff from the wind.

She glanced at her watch: "Brother Feng's driving skills have improved again. It only took him twenty-two minutes to get from Yonghe Temple to the East Fourth Ring Road."

Qin Jiangfeng took the helmet and casually ruffled her hair: "You're getting smarter and smarter. Your house is nice, looks like you've been doing well these past two years."

Suwen casually replied, "It's alright, nothing special."

"Stop joking around, hurry up and go up." Qin Jiangfeng waved to her.

She ran a few steps, then turned back with a smile: "Brother Feng, you too, good luck and make up with your wife soon!"

Then he dashed into the stairwell, followed by his gritted teeth as he shouted "You little devil!"

Xiang Ru woke up when Su Wen opened the door. She put on her coat and came out to see Su Wen turning on the entryway light and bending over to change her shoes on the floor.

"Why are you back at this hour?" Xiang Ru rubbed her eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost three in the morning.

"I had to catch a night flight, there was no other way." Suwen yawned, indicating that she was very tired.

Even a night flight shouldn't land at this hour. Xiang Ru had her doubts, but seeing that she was tired, she didn't want to press her for answers in the middle of the night.

Seeing that her mother didn't say anything, Suwen quickly slipped into the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, Xiangru had already gone back to her room to sleep. She breathed a sigh of relief, went to the kitchen to pour a glass of hot water, and sat on the sofa to drink it slowly.

She rummaged through her bag for her phone; Lu Zheng hadn't called her back yet. Did he still not know she was back in Beijing? What was he busy with? Had he drunk too much at a business dinner?

Looking up, I could see the starry sky outside the window. The pollution in this city is so severe that at night you can hardly see any stars, only a blurry, dark red expanse of sky.

I miss him so much.

My longing is growing stronger.

The afternoon's launch ceremony was recorded together with a variety show.

Suwen arrived around noon, and Xiao Ai was already waiting for her. When she got backstage, most people were ready, with only a few still putting on makeup, including Zhou Xiaochuan.

He's currently a rising star in domestic period dramas, and he just started filming a new movie in Hengdian. His flight was delayed, so he rushed over as soon as he got off the plane.

Seeing that Suwen had only just arrived, he was rather gloating: "You're late too, girl?"

"Ugh, don't even mention it, the traffic was terrible." She doesn't drive herself and has no idea what Beijing's traffic is like. To save trouble, she didn't call a nanny car to pick her up, and as a result, the taxi was stuck in a terrible traffic jam.

"Have you eaten yet?" While the stylist was blow-drying his hair, Zhou Xiaochuan took a hamburger from his assistant.

Judging from his appearance, he hadn't eaten and had been rushing from one event to another. Suwen shrugged, indicating that he felt a sense of sympathy for him.

Zhou Xiaochuan casually handed her his hamburger: "Have something to eat first. After the interview, we have to record a program, and we won't have a chance to eat anything until the evening."

Suwen didn't stand on ceremony with him and took a big bite of the hamburger.

Zhou Xiaochuan's eyes widened, as if he were looking at an alien: "It's rare to see a girl like you eating so freely. Tell me, have you been sidelined by the company, so you're channeling your grief and anger into your appetite, eating like this?"

He still remembers the scene when they were filming together, Suwen would eat colorful vegetable juice all day long.

Su Wen almost choked on her burger: "No, Director Wei thinks I'm too thin and wants me to gain weight." After saying that, she suddenly realized that she had let something slip, so she stopped eating her burger and covered her mouth without saying a word.

Xiao Ai glared at her: "Stop eating, your makeup is ruined."

Whisper.

Suwen saw several people pointing and whispering about her in the corner.

It's no surprise that Director Wei is making a new film; the news broke this morning. But the casting of the female lead has been the biggest point of interest, and Director Wei hasn't given the media a definitive answer yet. Everyone's guessing, but no one seems to be guessing Nie Suwen.

During a break from makeup, Zhou Xiaochuan secretly pulled Suwen aside and asked, "Girl, did you really film Director Wei's movie?"

Suwen knew that denying it this time would be too fake, and Zhou Xiaochuan usually took good care of her, so she didn't want to lie to him. She gave a vague answer: "I just went to audition, and it's not finalized yet."

“Oh,” he said thoughtfully, then teased her, “If you ever walk the red carpet at an international film festival, don’t forget your brother back home.”

Zhou Xiaochuan plays her brother in the play, and he is also her senior from the same school in real life. This statement is actually a double entendre.

Suwen laughed exaggeratedly: "I could forget anyone but you."

Zhou Xiaochuan clapped his hands: "Okay, praise me like that during the interview later."

She and Zhou Xiaochuan got along very well, and they really did seem like siblings.

The makeup artist gave her a light makeup look, and her long hair was styled up, making her look elegant and mature. Xiao Ai, standing beside her, would occasionally offer her opinions: "She doesn't go for a mature look, so this updo doesn't look good, does it?"

After all, he's not Xiao Jia Ge, so I can't be as dedicated and devoted as I am to my own family.

Suwen, having seen enough, stopped pressuring the makeup artist. Xiao Ai didn't like the clothes the crew had prepared either. Luckily, they had gone on a shopping spree in Shanghai and bought several outfits, which Xiao Ai brought over. Suwen chose a simple, understated outfit that perfectly complemented her updo and bare face.

Xiao Ai looked at her and shook her head: "If you were any fairer, you could be a set prop."

Suwen smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. I wasn't the main character to begin with."

She has never met a celebrity who doesn't want to steal the spotlight.

But as it turns out, Suwen was right.

At the premiere ceremony, a dazzling array of beauties dazzled the audience. Xing Manzi, in a low-cut see-through dress, stole the show, while another rising star wore a deep purple floor-length gown. Given that she plays a fairy in the drama, she exuded an ethereal aura.

In terms of figure, Suwen certainly doesn't have the Mariana Trench that Manzi has squeezed out of her chest. As for beauty, she can't compare to that nationally recognized fairy-like actress. Among all the famous flowers vying for attention, her fresh and elegant little white chrysanthemum is quite eye-catching.

It has nothing to do with body shape or appearance, but rather with temperament.

The composure beyond his years that emanated from his eyes and brows made him seem nothing like a newcomer making his debut film.

When reporters asked her to take photos, she obediently posed. When other actors came over, she politely gave up her spot. She was so low-key that there couldn't be a single flaw. But even so, trouble still came knocking on her door.

During the interview, the conversation was initially focused on the TV series, but when the microphone was passed to Suwen, someone brought up the filming accident from back then.

"Nian Gao, I heard you fell and were seriously injured. Who took you to the hospital?"

"The staff on site." Suwen maintained her smile, but her lips were clearly stiff.

"Last month you were in Shanghai, and there were rumors that you and your boyfriend were seen together on the Bund. People speculated that the mysterious boyfriend was the CEO of Huayi Brothers. Is that true?" the reporter quickly asked.

"When I signed the contract with the company, it included a clause that I couldn't date during the contract period. Of course, it's even more impossible for me to date my boss." Su Wen shook her head and smiled bitterly, which was considered a denial.

"So what's your opinion on the news that your boss is engaged to the daughter of Rongxin Group?" another entertainment reporter pressed on.

"Huh?" Suwen was stunned for a moment, looking bewildered.

A reporter nearby explained to her: "It's Mr. Lu Zheng, the honorary director of Huayi Brothers and chairman of Runhua Real Estate, and Ms. Xiao Yuan, the eldest daughter of Rongxin Group..."

Suwen's expression changed, and she instinctively turned to look at Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai quickly shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Su Wen frowned slightly, her face turning cold: "I'm sorry, I have no opinion."

"Why?" This reporter really wouldn't give up until he got to the bottom of it.

"There's no particular reason. With so many artists in the company, if you interview each one, you'll ask them what they think about the boss's marriage. Today is the premiere ceremony of the show, not just my press conference. I hope everyone's conversation will revolve around this show, so as not to waste the excellent performances of the other outstanding actors in the show."

Suwen's tone had become somewhat impolite.

Zhou Xiaochuan quickly chimed in: "That's right, I actually made some sacrifices in this show, you'll see when you watch it. Also, the ending theme song that Susu and I sang is really good, so don't rush to change the channel after watching the show tonight, be sure to listen to the ending theme song!"

"So, you and Young Master Lu have already broken up amicably?"

This reporter is really persistent, always stirring up trouble. If Suwen gives him the cold shoulder and stays silent, tomorrow's newspapers will probably report that she "suffers heartbreak and refuses to mention her ex."

The other actors looked somewhat displeased. This was a film made by everyone, and Nie Suwen wasn't even the main character. Why were all the questions directed at her?
