The moment Pei Yanchuan's identity was revealed, viewership in the livestream peaked. Not only casual viewers but also some big names in the industry quietly began following the stream.
At the Pei Family's old residence, an enormous ultra-high-definition screen stood before Elder Pei, showing the livestream of "The Newlyweds' Honeymoon Journey."
Watching the two interact on the livestream, Elder Pei broke into a gratified smile. Good, very good.
Noticing the surge in traffic, the production team hurried to continue their questions.
"Mr. Xu, what kind of person is Mr. Pei in your eyes?"
Now this was a question Xu Wang could talk about.
"My husband is incredibly handsome, incredibly gentle and considerate, and very devoted to our home. He's also very good at making money, a very capable person, and an excellent cook..." Xu Wang wished he could praise Pei Yanchuan in every possible way.
The staff member glanced at Xu Wang, who was still praising him, then checked the time on their watch. Their mouth twitched. What was going on? Why did they suddenly feel so stuffed?
[...Burp~]
[All right, I really admit defeat now.]
[This has to be true love. He actually managed to praise his husband for almost ten minutes straight without repeating himself.]
Watching this, the Pei Corporation's employees could not help feeling deeply puzzled. Gentle and considerate? They would never have dared imagine those words describing their big boss.
Pei Yanchuan was asked the same question.
The instant Pei Yanchuan heard a question about Xu Wang, his entire demeanor softened.
"My husband is very cute. To me, he's always been like a little sun. He has a wonderful personality, acts cute with me, buys clothes especially for me, and cooks for me himself... Oh, right, my husband is rather delicate, so I hope the other guests can look after him during the upcoming filming. If anything comes up, you can come straight to me." After finishing, Pei Yanchuan picked up the glass in front of him and took a sip of water.
"Next question: what kind of love would you say you feel for your partner?" The staff member's eyes lit up as they asked this question.
"I'd say a possessive love."
"Everything."
Both answers made everyone's eyes light up.
Xu Wang openly spread his hands. "My love is domineering. I want my husband to have eyes for me alone."
Pei Yanchuan looked utterly serious as he answered, "Xu Wang is my everything."
[Oh my god, I'm passing out from the sweetness! Passing out!]
[I checked the other livestreams. Most answers were devoted, passionate, or sincere.]
[I love how open these two are!]
[But isn't that too domineering?]
[Why would you think that, commenter above? Love itself is full of possessiveness.]
Seeing the livestream's traffic continue to climb, the director immediately tapped the Bluetooth earpiece in his ear, telling the assistant director to press their advantage.
"All right, thank you for your answers. Now we've reached the final question of today's livestream. Have you looked into our variety show beforehand? Do you have any good suggestions for the show?"
"I looked into it beforehand. It's a very good variety show. As for suggestions, I hope I'll have enough to eat and drink on this trip." Xu Wang had researched the show in advance. It shared some similarities with other travel variety shows. Shows like this generally made guests earn their own ingredients or money, which meant they might go hungry at any time.
Pei Yanchuan, meanwhile, went straight into negotiation mode. "I had my employees analyze your show last night. Its prospects are very good, and the content is good too. It's a good project. As for suggestions, I hope the production team won't split married couples into separate groups."
Hearing their answers, the assistant director could not help raising an arm to wipe the sweat from their forehead with their sleeve.
[Hahahahaha, now it's the production team's turn to be dumbfounded.]
[Production team: Those are my only two tricks. Why did you have to expose both of them?]
[The girl above nailed it.]
[President Pei says: I don't want to be separated from my husband. Got it?]
"Thank you both for your answers. Next, please take some time to pack your luggage. Tomorrow, we'll head to our first travel destination. To all our viewers, that concludes today's livestream. See you at the same time tomorrow."
Elsewhere, the director, who was arranging the next day's itinerary, also saw the comments. His grinning face instantly stopped grinning.
In just two hours of livestreaming, the entire trending list on VB had been replaced with new topics.
#The richest man is married#
#The richest man's first variety show#
#The heavyweight guests invited to "The Newlyweds' Honeymoon Journey"#
#The unfortunate best actor#
#What does everyone think about the nature of love?#
The other livestreams had also been very lively that day.
Novelist Xia Yu had stayed up all night writing and could not get up at all that morning. His husband, Hou Yunqi, held him in his arms and coaxed him into eating breakfast. He also stayed in Hou Yunqi's arms during the questions; Hou Yunqi would say something, and he would respond with an "Mm." The production team felt utterly helpless as they asked their questions.
The best actor and his partner were both very experienced with filming shows. Before the staff could even ring the doorbell, the door had already been opened for them.
This pair had a very interesting dynamic. Qin Huai was responsible for making breakfast for his husband, Gu Yunlan-not because he wanted to, but because, as Gu Yunlan's manager, he needed to strictly control his intake of various foods.
As a result, two starkly different breakfasts appeared on their table. Qin Huai had soup dumplings and milk in front of him, while Gu Yunlan had a vegetable salad and two small slices of dry whole wheat bread, with fruit and vegetable juice to drink.
Throughout breakfast, Gu Yunlan clung to the side of his husband and manager, Qin Huai. The longing for soup dumplings in his eyes was plain to see.
The best actor's expressions were no joke. Even through the livestream, viewers could feel his longing.
But Qin Huai seemed long accustomed to his looks and expressions. With unwavering resolve, he finished every soup dumpling and drank an entire glass of milk.
The final pair was Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan, known as the "wealthy husbands."
Zhong Ran had coordinated his outfit first thing in the morning and gone out to the garden early to water the flowers.
Leng Yifan quietly followed beside him.
Their breakfast was prepared using extremely expensive ingredients.
It had to be said that their personas had indeed worked very well at the start. But after Pei Yanchuan's identity was revealed, traffic in their livestream dropped at a visibly rapid pace.
Reading the comments online, Zhong Ran's expression looked very unpleasant.
"What's wrong?" Leng Yifan noticed Zhong Ran's unhappy expression and looked at him.
"Nothing. I'm just a little worried about the upcoming trip." Zhong Ran gave Leng Yifan a gentle smile.
"It's all right. I'm here."
There was no denying that this livestream had been a success. Within an hour, reservations for the second livestream had already reached nearly two million. Not only that, the number was still rising rapidly.
