Time flew, and soon the show's scheduled filming day arrived.
The director had specifically assigned his trusted right-hand man, the assistant director, to take a camera operator to film Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan.
Entrusted with this important task, the assistant director arrived at the villa's entrance with the crew.
The villa before them was not particularly large, but its overall decor and design were distinctive. Its little garden was also filled with all kinds of flowers in bloom, a refreshing and uplifting sight.
The moment the livestream started, nearly fifty thousand people flooded in.
[Let me see, who's the mystery guest?]
[Oh my god, this garden is gorgeous. Whoever lives here clearly knows how to enjoy life.]
[It's really hard not to get excited about this.]
The assistant director took a deep breath and gently rang the doorbell.
Inside the villa, Pei Yanchuan was preparing breakfast. After observing his husband over the past few days, he had discovered that Xu Wang had a particular fondness for meat. Whenever Xu Wang cooked, practically all the vegetables on the table were just accompaniments.
Out of consideration for Xu Wang's health, Pei Yanchuan had recently been taking the initiative to cook whenever he had time, trying to make their meals as nutritionally balanced as possible.
Pei Yanchuan had just arranged the cherry tomatoes on a plate when he suddenly heard the doorbell.
He set aside his work, straightened his sleeves, and hurried to open the door.
The moment Pei Yanchuan opened the door, he saw the show's crew standing outside the fence.
"Come right in." Pei Yanchuan pressed a button on the wall, and the gate to the courtyard opened automatically.
The assistant director and his crew put on shoe covers before entering the villa.
Only then did Pei Yanchuan come fully into view on the livestream.
Pei Yanchuan wore a solid black shirt and long, tailored haute couture suit trousers. None of that was unusual. What seemed unbelievable was that he also had an apron on. It was an off-white color, with a cartoon goose printed on it.
[!!!!!]
[A handsome man is one thing, but a handsome man who can cook? We're doomed!]
[Slurp. What a waste to keep that body covered up!]
[All the thirsty girls just came crawling out of the woodwork.]
[That body, those proportions, that face-one word: perfection!]
[What's so special about this? You should all go look at our Ranran. Now that's seriously lavish!]
There was no denying that flaunting wealth never lacked an audience. To emphasize his wealthy-family image, Zhong Ran had chosen to film at the family's ancestral home. The draw of a century-old residence instantly sent their livestream's viewership soaring.
"Please keep your voices down. My husband isn't up yet." Pei Yanchuan spoke very quietly.
But thanks to the microphone, everyone watching the livestream heard him perfectly clearly.
Pei Yanchuan's low, breathy voice sent the livestream into another frenzy.
[Hubby, I really am still in bed, hehehe (〃'▽'〃)]
[Sis above, how about deleting that so I can post it first?]
[Hurry up and show me what kind of person managed to land such a top-tier alpha!]
The crew followed Pei Yanchuan into the living room. The entire room was clean, tidy, and cozy, with all sorts of cute cushions on the sofa.
Even with people following him around filming, Pei Yanchuan's expression barely changed. As usual, he brought the finished breakfast to the table, then walked to the bedroom door and knocked softly.
"Honey, time to get up." Pei Yanchuan's voice was very, very gentle, as though he were afraid of startling the person inside.
The crew and the livestream viewers watched the bedroom door nervously. The other star was finally about to appear.
They heard the sound of slippers against the bedroom floor.
With a click, the bedroom door slowly opened.
Xu Wang's exquisitely beautiful face appeared, still looking a little dazed.
Xu Wang wore a pure silk pajama top and nothing but a pair of loose shorts below, leaving his slender, straight calves bare.
"Hubby~" Xu Wang instinctively reached out to wrap his arms around Pei Yanchuan's neck.
At the sight of what his husband was wearing, Pei Yanchuan's pupils abruptly contracted. In the next instant, he wrapped an arm around his husband's waist, strode into the bedroom, and shut the door.
Forgotten outside, the crew stood rooted to the spot.
After a brief pause, the livestream's comment section exploded!
[Aaaaaah, wifey, wifey!]
[Girls, I don't want hubby anymore. Can you let me have wifey instead?!]
[You above, dream on!]
[Who could handle that? One "hubby" from him and my heart went all tingly.]
[Wait, where did my whole entire wifey go? How did he vanish in an instant?]
When the door opened again, Xu Wang had changed into another outfit: standard long sleeves and long trousers.
Faced with a camera pointed right at him as soon as he opened the door, Pei Yanchuan coughed awkwardly.
Xu Wang held Pei Yanchuan's arm with one hand and waved enthusiastically at the camera with the other. "Good morning, everyone!"
After Xu Wang finished greeting them, Pei Yanchuan put an arm around him and brought him to the dining table.
Pei Yanchuan considerately pulled out his chair for him.
"Thank you." Xu Wang smiled and sat down.
The two barely spoke over breakfast, but it was easy to see from the little details of their interactions that they had a very close relationship.
Once they finished eating, the assistant director approached them.
"Next, could we trouble you both to do separate interviews with us?"
Pei Yanchuan and Xu Wang nodded at the same time.
The crew assigned their locations. Xu Wang sat in a wicker chair on the balcony for his interview, while Pei Yanchuan remained where he was.
They were not very far apart, with only a bulletproof glass sliding door between them. Pei Yanchuan only needed to turn his head to see Xu Wang.
The livestream also split into two separate screens.
"Mr. Xu, you can start by introducing yourself."
Xu Wang nodded and looked into the camera. "Hello, everyone. My name is Xu Wang, and I'm Pei Yanchuan's husband."
"That certainly was a short and clear introduction, Mr. Xu." The crew member probably had not expected the first question to be over so quickly either. It took a few seconds of bewilderment before they recovered enough to respond.
In the living room, Pei Yanchuan received the same question.
Pei Yanchuan sat perfectly straight, his hands clasped in front of him. "My name is Pei Yanchuan, and I'm Xu Wang's husband."
Pei Yanchuan's expression was very serious during the first half of his statement, but when he reached the second half, he could not keep the tenderness off his face.
[Aaaah, why do I feel like I've lost?]
[You're not the only one who feels that way. Doesn't it seem like they're so in love?!]
[How did their expressions suddenly change just from saying each other's names?]
[Wait a second, Pei Yanchuan? That name sounds familiar.]
[The person above caught the important bit. Pei Yanchuan, chairman of Pei Corporation, graduated from a prestigious university and worked one miracle after another in the industry right after graduation. His grandfather was the richest man when he was in charge, and now he's the richest man too.]
[Honestly, I've already decided which family I want to be born into in my next life.]
[Sis, let's both just wash up and go to bed (don't know whether to laugh or cry)]
