Chapter 116 Three Missing One
Ji Xi watched the couple in the video living a peaceful life. She sighed and continued to move forward with her burden.

From the beginning of the live broadcast, the audience has been guessing who the unannounced guest will be.

They named all the married artists in the entertainment industry, but no one guessed Yu Yuan.

Perhaps because he has never been a regular guest on a variety show, is a top artist in the circle, and has starred in movies with box office revenues of over 100 million yuan, no one thinks he will condescend.

When he suddenly appeared in front of the camera, the audience was silent for a moment, and then they were all excited...

"Actor Yu is recording a couple variety show??? What a grand production team this must have..."

"I want to see how capable this woman is to capture the heart of Emperor Yu."

"Chen Ruogu should appear without makeup. Her skin is as white and tender as a peeled egg."

"Didn't you notice that the light in Goddess Lele's eyes has faded? What happened to Zou Junkai? Wasn't he very considerate before?"

Ji Xi discovered that most of the comments were discussing Yu Yuan, and only a small part was talking about Zou Junkai. The public opinion was not biased at the moment, and Ji Xi was no longer so nervous.

She relaxed her body and just leaned back in her chair when her cell phone rang. Ji Xi saw that it was Liao Dingmin calling and immediately pressed the speakerphone button.

Liao Dingmin spoke very quickly: "Sister Xi, Brother Yuan and sister-in-law are not wearing makeup, is it okay for them to appear on camera like this?"

Ji Xi said seriously, "The online reputation is good at the moment. They are both good-looking, so there's nothing wrong with that."

Liao Dingmin was relieved, and he continued to ask: "Does the styling team need to withdraw? There are still so many high-end dresses that are not used for the time being, do they need to be returned?"

Ji Xi rubbed his brows and said calmly, "What's there to pay back? It's not like the company can't afford the rent. What if the production team has other arrangements? Where can you find them temporarily? It doesn't matter if we spend a little more money. We have to be prepared for any eventuality."

Liao Dingmin quickly agreed, and Ji Xi reminded him, "You stay there steadily. Brother Yuan and the others have handed in their phones and can't contact the outside world. If there is any situation, I have to inform them through you. Do you understand?"

Liao Dingmin had to go back to the company. He liked to run behind Brother Yuan. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xi. I promise I will be on the set every day and there will be no mistakes."

Ji Xi was too lazy to talk to him, so he hung up the phone and continued to stare at the live broadcast.

When Ruogu and the others arrived at the door of the villa, the queen Xia Lan and her husband had just arrived. Xia Lan was wearing a tight skirt, revealing her hot and fiery figure. She looked a perfect match with Dong Rui standing next to her.

As soon as she saw Yu Yuan, she stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically, "Actor Yu~ I finally meet you in person. You are even more handsome than on the big screen."

Yu Yuan regained his indifference towards outsiders. He said in a steady voice: "Thank you for the compliment. You look better in person too."

There is no woman who doesn't like to hear praise. Xia Lan smiled from ear to ear. She grew up abroad and was a musician. She had always been casual about her behavior. She had only become a little more restrained after marrying Dong Rui.

She turned around and took Dong Rui's arm, smiling sweetly, "Actor Yu, let me introduce you to my husband Dong Rui. He is a very talented actor. Can we exchange acting skills when we are free?"

Yu Yuan's eyes fell on Dong Rui, who smiled gentle and politely. He said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Hello, Teacher Yu! I played a small supporting role in your movie a few years ago, and you also gave me guidance on acting. I benefited a lot from it. I'm very happy to see you again." Yu Yuan shook hands with him politely. He never looked down on anyone, even the extras in the crew, he would give them respect. This was the reason why he had maintained his reputation for so many years.

Xia Lan turned to look at Ruogu again. She covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Oh my God, Mrs. Yu, are you wearing no makeup? How come your skin is so good?"

She couldn't help but reach out and touch Ruogu's face. The feeling of being able to squeeze out water was so addictive.

Ruogu was not used to being touched so closely by outsiders. She tilted her head slightly and said gently, "Maybe it's because I don't wear makeup often, so your skin looks good."

Xia Lan said with envy: "It must be more than just this reason. I heard that Chinese medicine doctors are very mysterious. Do you have any special secret recipe for maintenance?"

She took Ruogu's arm without any hesitation, as if they were close friends who had known each other for a long time. Although Ruogu was not used to such enthusiasm, he did not lose face for her and chatted with her in a gentle voice as they walked.

The two gentlemen followed behind him. Dong Rui said a little embarrassedly, "Xia Lan is just that generous and forthright. Her manners are more Westernized. Teacher Yu, please don't mind."

Yu Yuan said calmly, "It's okay. My wife is introverted and doesn't have many friends. It's good that Xia Lan is willing to take the initiative to play with her."

Although Dong Rui is younger than Xia Lan, his speech and behavior are mature and steady, and there is no sense of incongruity when the two of them stand together.

Xiao Jie heard the noise outside the door and quickly stood up to greet them. When he saw the four people, he said enthusiastically:
"Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Yu, Mr. and Mrs. Xia Lan. Come in and take a seat. Mr. and Mrs. Zou Junkai are already here."

Although Xiao Jie has a close personal relationship with Yu Yuan, he would not show it in front of the camera. Zou Junkai was originally sitting on the sofa playing video games, and when he saw Yu Yuan for the first time, he thought he was seeing things. He didn't know who the heavyweight guest was before he came, but now that he knew it was Yu Yuan, he had to take this opportunity to make friends with him.

He had no time to play games, and he squeezed in to talk to Yu Yuan eagerly. For a while, the living room was very lively. Xia Lan pulled Ruogu to greet Wang Lele, and she said straightforwardly:

"You looked pretty good the last time I saw you, but your face looks a little puffy today."

Xia Lan and Ruogu are both older than Wang Lele. It is not obvious when they are alone, but Wang Lele looks very different when sitting next to them. She subconsciously touched her cheek and said awkwardly:

"Maybe my son was sick a few days ago, and I didn't sleep well at night taking care of him, so his complexion doesn't look too good."

Xia Lan asked suspiciously, "Didn't your family hire a nanny? At worst, there are still Zou Junkai and your mother-in-law. How come taking care of the child has become your job alone?"

Wang Lele felt sad and said aggrievedly: "My mother-in-law thinks the nanny is unreliable..."

Before she finished her words, Zou Junkai spoke first: "It's not like that. My mother just thinks that the child will be closer to whoever takes care of the child more. She also wants Lele to be closer to her son..."

Xia Lan curled her lips and said bluntly, "I've never been a mother, and I don't know how to raise a child, but it's natural for children to be close to their mothers, so how can they be distant from each other? Can your family afford to hire a nanny?"

Zou Junkai pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly and said dryly: "We can afford it. We are out working, so we can just hire a nanny and my mom to take care of the baby together."

Xia Lan sneered and said, "I thought your mother was sick and paralyzed in bed, but it turns out you can help take care of her..."

Ruogu could hear the twists and turns in the story. She had a much worse impression of Zou Junkai. Not wanting the atmosphere to be too awkward, she changed the subject and said, "Teacher Xiao, why are we missing one person? There's also a couple."
