Chapter 126 The Suffering of Marriage
Although several groups of guests did not read the barrage of comments, they could imagine how lively the live broadcast room was.
At this moment, the boiling hot pot was emitting a charming aroma, with various ingredients floating on the soup base. Yu Yuan picked up a piece of tender beef and put it in Ruogu's bowl, saying in a low voice: "If you think the dipping sauce I made is not tasty, I will accompany you to make it again."
Ruogu nodded. She slowly dipped the meat slices into the sauce and put them into her mouth to chew. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "This tastes really good. I like it very much."
Hearing her say this, Yu Yuan felt extremely satisfied and picked up another piece of yam for her. He knew Ruogu's taste.
Dong Rui on the opposite side was also picking up some food for Xia Lan. The couple would chat and laugh together from time to time. Zou Junkai saw their interaction clearly. He lowered his eyes, feeling a little complicated.
Wang Lele didn't care what he thought. She ate the hot pot without being affected at all. She even took time to chat and laugh with Ye Mei and ignored Zou Junkai at all.
Wang Lele was not like this before. Her eyes always followed him and her attention would not be attracted by others at all. When did she change?
Zou Junkai recalled carefully, from the fact that their wedding was not according to Lele's wishes, to the fact that his mother insisted on moving in with them after the wedding, or to the fact that he ignored Lele's chest tightness during pregnancy?
Zou Junkai was not sure, but every time he thought of something, his expression became uglier.
Lele would quarrel with him at first, but now she is just silent. He thought she had accepted the reality, but her indifference made him panic.
Zou Junkai picked up a piece of luncheon meat and put it into Wang Lele's bowl, and said carefully: "Don't you like luncheon meat? Try it and see how it tastes?"
Wang Lele was eating coriander and mocked him, "Have you forgotten that I'm on a diet? Apart from vegetables and high-quality protein, I can't eat these things."
Zou Junkai's face froze, and he said flatteringly: "It's okay to eat less, I'm not asking you to eat more."
Wang Lele said calmly: "Only self-discipline can help you lose weight. I've already started to lose weight, so why do you have to mess with me?"
Zou Junkai pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly. The noise they made was quite loud, attracting the attention of others. Zou Junkai reluctantly said, "Eating a piece of luncheon meat won't make you fat. Sometimes you are just too pretentious..."
After hearing what he said, Wang Lele threw his chopsticks on the table and said coldly:
"I obey your wishes, obey your mother's wishes, and go against my own wishes. Is that not hypocritical? Your family is really interesting. I said I wanted to lose weight, but you forced me to eat luncheon meat. I said I didn't like dumplings stuffed with leeks, but your mother forced me to eat them. Do you think it's interesting to force others?"
Zou Junkai didn't expect her to explode at this moment, and suppressed his anger and said:
"I clearly meant well, but you deliberately misinterpreted it. Aren't my mother and I doing this for your own good? You're too extreme now, and you don't know what's good for you. You're a mother now, not a little girl who just started dating..."
Wang Lele was so angry that she was shaking all over. She gritted her teeth and said, "What's wrong with me being a mother? Should I be bound by you for the rest of my life? Can't I live my life as I wish? Don't do disgusting things in the name of doing good. I was really blind to be with you in the first place..."
Zou Junkai felt like he wanted to tear off his face and let her step on him. If he wasn't in front of the camera and there were so many people watching, he would have wanted to strangle her to death.
Xiao Jie was afraid that the situation would get out of control, so he stood up and walked to Zou Junkai, saying gently, "It's normal for couples to quarrel. We men should not argue with women. Come sit down and continue eating. It's not a big deal."
Ye Mei was also very perceptive and tried to pull Wang Lele to her side, saying, "Sister Lele, please sit down and eat. We are still recording the show. There are so many viewers watching us..."
Ye Mei spoke the last two words of reminder in a very low voice. Although Wang Lele was angry, she had not yet lost her mind. She sat down under Ye Mei's force. Xia Lan quickly spoke up to liven up the atmosphere.
"Everyone, come and try this jelly. I think it tastes really good. It's completely different from what you get outside..."
After she said this, everyone responded and the atmosphere suddenly became lively again.
Netizens who watched the live broadcast became more and more disgusted with Zou Junkai, especially Wang Lele's fans.
"Is Zou Junkai sick? Lele said she had lost weight, but he still forced her to eat luncheon meat. How could he care about her?"
"He just wanted to follow the example of Yu Yuan and Dong Rui, who were well-received for taking good care of their wives. But he hit a wall. Wang Lele was not willing to cooperate at all."
"Zou Junkai's mother is also quite suffocating. Living with this mother and son is simply shortening your life."
"Am I the only one who can relate to this? Wang Lele is accumulating disappointment day by day. She is obviously a glamorous big star, why does she have to suffer in marriage..."
The hotpot dinner ended a little hastily, with a feeling of being anticlimactic. They wanted to cancel the shopping plan, but Wang Lele insisted on going. She smiled and invited everyone to go together, as if nothing had happened.
When they arrived at the mall, Wang Lele and Ye Mei walked around hand in hand with great interest. Ruogu and Xia Lan followed behind them. Xia Lan asked with some concern, "Isn't Lele upset and is forcing a smile?"
Ruogu shook her head and said gently, "I think she is very calm. It's not the first time that Zou Junkai has made her angry. She has long been used to it. This time she just vented her anger."
Xia Lan lowered her voice and asked, "She's not going to divorce Zou Junkai, is she?"
Ruogu said with a smile: "This is their business, I really don't know anything about it. When she needs it, we can help her, and don't ask too much about the rest."
Xia Lan nodded slightly. She was not a nosy person. Divorce was not a big deal these days, and there were not so many details in the entertainment industry.
Seeing that the two of them were talking nicely, Yu Yuan immediately took Ruogu's hand and said with a smile on his face, "I think the clothes here are pretty good. Can I go in with you to try them on?"
Ruogu hadn't bought clothes for a while, so she didn't refuse Yu Yuan's kindness and went into the clothing store with him. The salesgirl was very excited to see them and asked in a trembling voice, "Mr. Yu, can you sign an autograph for me?"
There weren't too many people in the mall, so Yu Yuan didn't refuse and signed for her readily. Then he politely said, "Please help me find some clothes that are suitable for my wife."
The shopping guide was very happy and said in a brisk voice: "Sister Yuan has a slender figure and outstanding temperament. She looks good in any clothes. I think the floral dress on the model is very suitable for her."
The shopping malls are now selling spring clothes. Although the temperature is still a little low, it is completely fine to wear them with a cardigan. Although Yu Yuan is not good at picking women's clothes, he still took out all the ones he liked.
Looking at the clothes the salesperson was holding, Ruogu didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Is it necessary to try so many?"
Yu Yuan was in a good mood. "We are here to shop anyway. How can we know if it is suitable if we don't try it on? You try the clothes first, and then we will choose for our daughter."
As soon as he finished speaking, the barrage of comments started to appear again.
"The look in Mr. Yu's eyes is as if his wife is the only woman in the world." "It's rare that he can still think of his daughter at this moment. I thought his daughter was superfluous..."
"With their genes, it would be a waste to have only one child. I think their daughter will be very beautiful."
"What the above person said is right. I have seen Mr. Yu's daughter. Her facial features have completely inherited the advantages of her parents, and her temperament is beyond words. In short, the daughter is better than the father."
Ruogu had never tried on so many clothes before, so she let Yu Yuan see them after she put them on. Yu Yuan leaned back on the sofa and talked about the pros and cons of each piece of clothing. His serious attitude easily won his favor.
The other groups of guests went to other stores and they acted separately. Just when Ruogu went in to try on clothes, Ye Mei and Wang Lele also came over, and Xiao Jie and Zou Junkai followed behind them.
Even though Zou Junkai had a quarrel with Wang Lele, he still endured it and did not leave alone. If he had left, he would have been drowned by the saliva on the Internet.
Ruogu tried on another outfit and came out of the dressing room. She was wearing a halter-neck peach pink off-shoulder long dress. She looked as seductive as a peach, and Yu Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw her.
Ye Mei praised generously: "Sister Ruogu, you look so beautiful in this dress. It sets off your skin so well. This dress is very picky in both color and style."
Ruogu was not used to exposing too much skin, and she said uncomfortably: "It's not convenient for me to give acupuncture and treatment wearing such clothes, so why not just forget it..."
Wang Lele smiled and said, "No, you wear it when you go out traveling. If you don't dress up now, will you dress up fancy when you get older?"
Ye Mei agreed, "Sister has such a good figure, and usually wears too conservative clothes. This one is very good."
Ruogu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked at Yu Yuan helplessly to ask for his opinion. All men are possessive, but Yu Yuan is mature, stable and rich. He is competitive enough and has confidence in himself and Ruogu, so he is broad-minded and doesn't mind.
He said in a gentle voice: "Take it. If you are not used to it, we can wear it at home. We don't have to worry too much at home."
Ruogu nodded slightly in agreement. It was not that she couldn't afford the clothes, but it was up to her whether to wear them or not.
Ye Mei was envious of the close intimacy between the couple. She somewhat understood Fu Juan's obsession with Yu Yuan. It was indeed rare to find a man who loved his wife so much.
Ye Mei was distracted for a moment, but she came to her senses when Wang Lele called her. After Ruogu made her selection, Yu Yuan naturally walked to the counter to pay. Xiao Jie, who had been silent the whole time, hurried forward and said, "Didn't we agree that I'll pay today? You step back."
Yu Yuan laughed and scolded, "Come on, I make money for my wife. I'm stingy and don't like my wife to wear clothes bought by other men."
Xiao Jie shook his head and laughed, "Do you have to be so serious? Is it possible that I can't spend this money?"
Yu Yuan took back his phone and said calmly, "If we don't spend the money, others will. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Jie didn't argue with him. While Wang Lele and Ye Mei were choosing clothes, Ruogu and Yu Yuan went to another store to choose for their daughter. She specially video-called Huai Xi to ask for her opinion.
The live camera can hear Huaixi's voice but cannot see her face. Even through the screen, one can feel the warmth and harmony of the family of three.
When we went back, everyone had a lot of gains, with lots of bags and bags. Fortunately, the bus was big enough, otherwise it would not have been able to accommodate them all.
They only need to broadcast live for eight hours a day, so the camera doesn't need to continue following them when they go back.
The entire day's schedule was too full and everyone was exhausted, so it wasn't a big problem for us to take care of our own dinner.
Ye Mei went back to her room to rest alone. She hummed a song while sorting out her new clothes and thinking about how to match them. Qin Xuan had not come back yet. Although they were married, Ye Mei did not control him as she should.
Men cannot be controlled. The tighter you hold them, the faster they will run away. Their strength is not equal. No matter what she does, it will be useless. Ye Mei will not lose sleep over this. She might as well find a way to make herself happy.
Ye Mei packed her clothes and found that her manicure was scratched. She took out the tools and repaired it herself. She worked as a manicurist before she became famous, so she was very good at this.
She had just finished repairing her nails and was admiring her fingers when her cell phone rang. Ye Mei looked down and saw that it was Fu Juan calling. She pressed the speakerphone and said indifferently, "Sister Juan, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Fu Juan has been paying close attention to the live broadcast these days. Seeing Yu Yuan being so caring towards Chen Ruogu in front of the camera, her heart was numb with pain. Although she has recognized her own identity and status, Fu Juan still cannot forgive the two of them.
She didn't expect Ye Mei to vent her anger, but she couldn't stand the harmonious relationship between Ye Mei and Chen Ruogu, so she couldn't help but call to remind her. She carefully asked, "Have you had dinner?"
Fu Juan knew the current situation very well. Ye Mei was no longer the same as before, so she had to be more polite. Ye Mei said briskly, "I have eaten. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Fu Juan hesitated and asked, "Is Young Master Qin with you? Today, another paparazzi took a photo of him hugging a woman in the club."
Ye Mei's good mood disappeared, and she said in a cold voice: "Qin Xuan hasn't come back yet, and I don't know where he is. He went to discuss business, and it's normal for him to have a woman. Don't tell me about such trivial matters in the future."
Fu Juan was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "You are Qin Xuan's real wife. You don't have to try to please him in front of the camera. I'm afraid that fans will have opinions after a while."
Ye Mei didn't think so. She sneered and said, "If I were a good match for Qin Xuan, I wouldn't have to please him. I have nothing now, but I still dare to meddle in other people's affairs. Do you want him to kick me out of the house?"
Fu Juan said helplessly: "But now some people are mocking you online. If this continues..."
Ye Mei said nonchalantly: "You can ridicule me if you want. The real die-hard fans will only feel sorry for me. It's not a bad thing to filter out a group of fans."
Ye Mei is not a brainless yes-man. Neither her agent nor Fu Juan has the ability to influence her.
Fu Juan couldn't help but continue, "Then keep your distance from Chen Ruogu. She is not as harmless as she seems. If you get too close to her, nothing good will happen."
Ye Mei said with a smile: "Sister Juan, are you meddling too much? What does the grudge between you and her have to do with me? I think she is a good person, that's all."
Fu Juan said angrily: "Why don't you listen? Is she close to you or am I close to you? I am very disappointed that you did this."
Ye Mei raised her voice slightly and said, "Fu Juan, first clarify your own identity. What qualifications do you have to interfere in my affairs? I am free to do whatever I want. If you are dissatisfied, you can resign."
