Chapter 118: Staying Away from Marriage

Wang Lele stopped crying, and the heat in her eyes as she looked at Zou Junkai slowly faded.

At this moment, she seemed to have just seen the other person's true face. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said in a hoarse voice, "You don't need to remind me. I know what I am doing. Since I have returned to record variety shows, I will accept subsequent notices no matter how big or small. Just don't stop me."

Zou Junkai frowned and said in a bad tone: "What do you mean? Xiaobao is so young, he needs his mother... I want you to help me become famous, not to ask you to go out to work..."

Wang Lele felt happy when she saw him getting angry. She said indifferently:

"I don't count on you anymore. Xiaobao is taken care of by your mother, and I will continue to pay for the nanny. I don't think there will be any problem."

Zou Junkai felt like things were going too far. He angrily asked, "What do you mean? It's normal for men to be breadwinners and women to be homemakers. You're being irresponsible by leaving Xiaobao to my mom."

Wang Lele looked at him and said nonchalantly:
"I'm dead. Don't use your old-fashioned ideas to restrain me. I'm not here to ask for your opinion. I'm just informing you. Don't forget that I'm the best in my field. I'm no worse than you in terms of ability. If you can't accept it, you can choose to divorce me."

Zou Junkai's eyes widened as if he was about to explode. He panted heavily and said after a long while:

"I've never thought about divorce, so don't let your imagination run wild. If you want to take the job, just go ahead and take it. I'll talk to my mom. After all, we're all doing this for this family, for Xiaobao..."

Wang Lele was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to compromise so easily. What was her concession before? Was it because she was kind that she was bullied? No matter how her thoughts turned, she never showed any sign on her face.

In any case, they both have the same goal of becoming popular again through the show "Those Affairs Between Husband and Wife". Wang Lele changed his mindset and just regarded it as paving the way for himself and it would not be a bad idea to act in front of the camera.

Qin Xuan and Ye Mei were on their way to the villa. Qin Xuan was yawning, leaning back in the chair with his arms folded, as if half asleep. Their cell phones had not been handed in yet. Ye Mei was watching the live video, and her face became very serious when she saw the comments about their group.

"Didn't they say Qin Xuan would bring his wife to participate in the show? Why hasn't she shown up yet..."

"Master Qin is rich and powerful. He can show up whenever he wants."

"The Qin family is quite wealthy, but Yu Yuan and Xia Lan are also worth a lot. He can't act cool on this show."

"Is his wife really Ye Mei? I remember she was a newcomer and she doesn't seem to have any representative works..."

"What the above person said is a bit silly. She has the status of the Qin family's young lady. Will she still lack resources in the future? She will have a masterpiece sooner or later."

"Come on, the Qin family won't recognize her. Let's see if she can give birth to a son to please her parents-in-law, then she will have a chance to officially marry in. Otherwise, she will be kicked out sooner or later."

Ye Mei was furious. She had never even stepped into the Qin family's front door, and Qin Xuan's mother had told her directly to stay out of the way. She also showed her disdain for her without hiding it. Even when she called Qin Xuan, she was full of derogatory remarks.

She bit her back teeth and swore in her heart that the more these people disapproved of her and badmouthed her, the more she would make a name for herself. Suppressing her unhappiness, she said in a sweet voice:
"Honey, we're so late. When we get to the show, we have to apologize to the brothers and sisters."

Qin Xuan stretched and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry. Being late didn't affect them. There's nothing to apologize for."

Ye Mei said patiently: "Your status is different, you can do whatever you want, but I am a newcomer after all, and I still want to make more good works. Just think of it as my sake. Let's record the program and be a little humble, okay?" Qin Xuan relied on his wealth and dared to say anything on social platforms. He always acted without scruples. He glanced at Ye Mei. After all, she was his wife with whom he had obtained a marriage certificate. He couldn't just play around and get rid of her casually.

The two had just gotten married, and Qin Xuan didn't mind being a good husband. He pinched Ye Mei's cheek and said lovingly, "I'll listen to you. Didn't you prepare a meeting gift before you came? I can just give you a little gift later to make up for it."

Ye Mei finally smiled, and said coquettishly, "Thank you, husband. I knew you loved me the most."

Qin Xuan fell for her tricks. Ever since Ye Mei had met him, she had carefully figured out his thoughts. She investigated the personalities of Qin Xuan's previous girlfriends and the reasons for their breakups, and then prescribed the right remedy. Only then did she have a chance to get promoted.

At this moment, the three groups of guests had packed their luggage and came down from the building. Seeing Yu Yuan holding bottles and jars, Xia Lan asked curiously, "What did you bring?"

Ruogu said in a brisk voice, "This is the beef sauce and chili flakes made by my sister Yang. It's very refreshing and goes well with rice. I brought some for everyone to try."

Xia Lan smiled and said, "You guys really understand life. I didn't bring any food with me. How are we going to solve the problem of three meals a day? I am a kitchen nemesis. The dishes made by Dong Rui are barely edible, but not poisonous enough to kill people. They are not delicious."

Ruogu walked to the sofa and sat down, saying gently: "I can only cook a few home-cooked dishes. We can cook together when the time comes, so that so many people won't starve to death."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zou Junkai said enthusiastically: "Our Lele has improved her cooking skills in the past two years. The dishes she cooks are especially delicious. If the sisters can't do it, let her cook."

Xia Lan said happily: "Really? That's great, we are in need of a chef. Don't worry, Lele, we are not picky about food, you just need to cook the food..."

Who really likes cooking? At least Wang Lele is disgusted with doing it, but she has neither Xia Lan's status nor Ye Mei's popularity and traffic. She can only do more things in front of the camera to win the audience's favor.

As for Zou Junkai's behavior of using her to please others, she was already used to it and could not get angry. However, Ruogu felt that it was not appropriate. She said softly: "It is not an easy job to feed so many people. How can we let Lele do it all? Everyone has to help."

Wang Lele was very grateful to Ruogu. She said meekly, "It's okay. I should be able to do it. I usually have to take care of my son at home, buy groceries, cook, and clean. I can do it all by myself."

Even though Xia Lan was slow-witted, she could still sense that something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, Dong Rui reached out and pulled her back, shaking his head at her.

She didn't say anything, but the netizens watching the live broadcast were furious...

"What happened to Zou Junkai? He proposed to Lele in front of so many people at the graduation ceremony and said he would treat her well for the rest of his life. How come he doesn't cherish her after marrying her?"

"Men are really heartless and ungrateful. I don't believe their family can't afford a nanny."

"Oh my god! Zou Junkai was so clean-cut before marriage, but now he's a pig's hoof. If men change after marriage, it's better to stay single for safety."

Although Zou Junkai didn't read the comments, he realized that he was too impatient, and he quickly explained:

"How can I let Lele cook alone? We cook together at home. I can just help her."

When he said this at this time, the traces of embellishment were too obvious, and the audience was not stupid.
