Fu Jingzhou was stunned for almost a full minute.
In that minute, he did nothing and thought nothing.
He just stared intently at Jiang Nan.
From his slightly messy pink hair, to his clear eyes, to his nose that was red from the cold, and finally to his full, slightly dry lips.
" Zhouzhou?"
Jiang Nan looked at him in confusion and subconsciously called out.
"Um."
Fu Jingzhou quickly responded, and then fell silent again.
Jiang Nan pursed his lips, about to ask him what was wrong, but the next second, Fu Jingzhou reached out, lifted his chin with his fingers, and finally gently rubbed his lips with the pad of his thumb.
Jiang Nan was all too familiar with that look in his eyes.
Startled, he immediately took a step back.
He said, "No way! It's still live!"
Viewers who were completely engrossed in the live stream:...
[You unfilial son! You unfilial son! What's wrong with you kissing in front of your grandfather?]
[My dying wish is to see the Heavenly Immortal and the Little Immortal Nan kiss. If I don't see it, Little Immortal Nan, you've rebelled and betrayed your own family for the greater good.]
[Honey!!!! Hurry up and kiss me!!! What time is it???]
Kissing isn't really an option either; this is the time to cook, like stir-fried southern ginger.
[I'm laughing so hard I'm practically pooping, hahaha, stir-fried southern ginger!]
I was unwilling when Teacher Jiang retired from the literary world.
[Hahahaha, ginger from the South, while others are like spicy little chili peppers, our Little Immortal Nan is like spicy little ginger, hahaha!]
[Ahhh, do you guys understand? The way the Heavenly Immortal's hand was cupping Little Immortal Nan's chin, I really, really love it!]
Fu Jingzhou hummed in agreement and then lowered his hand.
He had just lowered his hand when someone suddenly grabbed it.
Jiang Nan held his hand tightly. " Zhouzhou, you still haven't said whether you like it or not."
Upon hearing this, Fu Jingzhou glanced down at the pink diamond and asked, "Why is it this color?"
He asked the question, then realized he was being redundant.
The answer is written right above Jiang Nan's head.
Jiang Nan sniffed and said shyly, "Pink is delicate, it suits you best, Zhouzhou."
Fu Jingzhou: "..."
"Is that why?"
He asked again, unwilling to give up.
Jiang Nan asked in confusion, "What else could it be?"
After a few seconds of silence, Fu Jingzhou shook his head. "No."
He shouldn't have had any expectations of this person.
"Okay." Jiang Nan took the pink diamond ring out of the ring box, grabbed Fu Jingzhou's hand, and slowly slipped it onto his ring finger.
The diamond ring was cool to the touch, and slowly, it was pushed up.
Fu Jingzhou's hands have distinct knuckles and fair skin, and he looks surprisingly beautiful wearing this kind of diamond ring.
He stared at his hands for a few seconds, then looked up and asked, "What about yours?"
Jiang Nan was taken aback. "My what?"
Fu Jingzhou: "Isn't this a wedding ring?"
Jiang Nan suddenly sat up straight and slapped her head. "Oh! I forgot!"
Fu Jingzhou: "..."
He rubbed his temples. "Get in the car."
Jiang Nan didn't move. " Zhouzhou, are you happy now?"
Fu Jingzhou stared at him silently.
He had to admit that he had always found Jiang Nan to be a rather peculiar person.
You could call him foolish, but at times he's both clever and astute.
While he can be considered smart, he can also be quite foolish at times.
"Although I don't know why you're unhappy," Jiang Nan paused, then said with a smile, "If you ever feel unhappy in the future, just look at me."
" Little Jiang makes you happier."
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]
[You unfilial son, I never expected you to be so sensible, usually so carefree!]
[That's right, sob sob sob, there are so many handsome guys in the entertainment industry, and handsome Alphas are everywhere, but I'm only happy when I'm watching Little Immortal Nan.]
[Add one to your happiness! Life is already tough enough, so of course you should spend time with people who make you happy!]
Fu Jingzhou stared at Jiang Nan without moving, then suddenly curved his lips into a smile that seemed to break through the ice like a spring breeze.
"I've been happy every day since I married you."
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, and the live stream audience was also stunned.
[!!!!]
[Is this the end of the mission???]
[I don't think so, the characters don't match.]
[As long as the meaning is right, I don't care anymore. This segment feels like the pinnacle of romantic reality shows.]
[Ahhhhhh, I'm totally shipping them! I love them so much!!!]
[This isn't a task; it's clearly Heavenly Immortal's genuine expression of emotion.]
"Yeah!"
Jiang Nan jumped up and down with joy.
Fu Jingzhou raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Nan's eyes sparkled. " Zhouzhou, I've completed the mission."
Fu Jingzhou thought about what he had just said and immediately guessed what the mission was. He smiled and said, "Get in the car once the mission is complete, don't catch a cold."
After Jiang Nan got on the bus, her legs went numb from the cold.
He waved hastily at the little robot. "That's all for today's live stream, goodbye, goodbye."
After saying that, he immediately turned off the camera.
-
Driver Old Yang parked the car in the underground parking lot. Jiang Nan followed behind Fu Jingzhou, chattering incessantly, " Zhouzhou, what are we having for dinner tonight? I'm hungry..."
The two entered the elevator, Jiang Nan had only spoken half a sentence when a pair of hands appeared around her waist.
The man wrapped one arm around his waist and pressed his lips against his.
The kiss that didn't happen in the car was rekindled here.
Their lips intertwined, their heartbeats seemed to be linked together.
When the elevator went up, the doors opened automatically, but no one got out.
The Little Black Ball couldn't bear to watch, so its tiny wings popped out and it flew out first.
The elevator doors closed automatically again.
Jiang Nan said with difficulty, "I'm hungry."
Fu Jingzhou then released him.
-
When the nanny came to cook, Jiang Nan had already changed into her pajamas and was curled up on the sofa, texting Fu Xingli while watching TV.
"Stirring Shit When It Hits": [Did you watch the live stream this afternoon?]
Young Master Thrice Beats the White Bone Demon: [Don't be so narcissistic, who's going to watch your livestream?]
Stirring Shit When It Hits: [I gave the ring to Zhouzhou, and he really likes it.]
Young Master Thrice Beats the White Bone Demon: [...]
"Stirring Shit When It Hits": [I think Young Master Fu must be an honest and trustworthy person. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond, don't you think?]
Young Master Thrice Beats the White Bone Demon: [Shut up, I'm posting it now.]
Stirring Shit When It Hits: [Good boy.]
Faced with such an infuriating remark, Fu Xingli chose not to reply.
-
Two minutes later, Fu Xingli replied: [All done.]
Jiang Nan happily clicked into her WeChat Moments and liked Fu Xingli's new post.
I had just logged out when my phone suddenly vibrated.
A video call popped up.
It was a video and voice call from GG Bond Number Two.
When Jiang Nan answered the phone, Zhu Xia seemed to still be at the company, dressed in a business suit with exquisite light makeup.
"What's the matter?"
Zhu Xia slowly exhaled. "Congratulations, you're trending again."
Jiang Nan was taken aback. "Judging from your expression, you're probably trying to sabotage me again."
Zhu Xia: "You guessed right, but there's no reward."
"No," Jiang Nan said, "What did I do to deserve this?"
Zhu Xia: "That's how this industry is. You'll only avoid all this trouble if you're obscure. Once you gain some fame, there are plenty of people who want to climb over you to get ahead."
Even if you don't provoke anyone, there are plenty of people willing to pay for articles to smear you.
Jiang Nan sighed, and while still on the phone, she exited WeChat and opened Weibo.
#How rich is Jiang Nan's boyfriend?#
#Jiang Nan, the young master of a wealthy family#
#Lin Cheng Yan Ling goes abroad for afternoon tea#
The three terms piled together create a strange, indescribable feeling.
Jiang Nan didn't know what expression to wear.
He clicked on the first one, and it was a photo of him in the lounge that afternoon.
Blogger: Wow, I feel like Jiang Nan's boyfriend is much richer than I imagined.
[Wait, is Jiang Nan addicted to the "rich family" persona? Why does she always buy these kinds of trending topics?]
[I'm just a passerby, but I think it really ruins his image. He's always trending on social media like this every few days. The first time, I could understand that someone was trying to discredit him, but the second and third time, I really think he's orchestrating it himself.]
[It's just an ordinary lounge, what's the blogger so surprised about?]
[I admit this lounge is large and luxurious, but there's no need to constantly flaunt it. After all, money is something you can't take with you when you die, so I don't know what he's so proud of.]
[Um... am I the only one who thinks Jiang Nan's girlfriend has had plastic surgery?]
[You're not the only one who feels this way, I feel the same way too]
[Maybe he wanted to become famous through this variety show, so he specifically went to get plastic surgery, hahaha]
Jiang Nan hadn't felt anything at first, but when she saw the last sentence, she almost vomited blood in anger.
Without saying a word, he logged into his main account, not even registering what Zhu Xia was saying.
I simply forwarded that sentence.
Little Immortal Nan V: I've already taken screenshots as evidence. Do you know what defamation is?
Originally, only a small group of people were discussing whether Fu Jingzhou had undergone plastic surgery, but Jiang Nan's statement completely amplified the discussion.
Zhu Xia: "Tell me the truth, what does your boyfriend do? It'll be easier for the PR department to handle things if I know."
Although Jiang Nan heard her words, she didn't take them to heart.
After he retweeted the Weibo, he said, "Huh? What did you just say, Sister Xia?"
Zhu Xia: "..."
She keenly sensed something was wrong. " Jiang Kounan, what are you doing right now?"
Jiang Kounan: "Post on Weibo."
Zhu Xia's vision went black. "Are you up to your old tricks again?"
"This isn't just causing trouble," Jiang Nan said earnestly. "If someone insults my wife by saying she's had plastic surgery, I definitely won't tolerate it, and I certainly won't hold a grudge."
Jiang Nan is usually a silly and funny person, and he doesn't care when others criticize him.
But as the saying goes, even dragons have their scales that cannot be reversed, and so do humans.
He wouldn't allow the people he cares about to be bullied or insulted by others.
Not even a little bit.
-
As soon as Jiang Nan spoke up, the comment from that netizen instantly became a hot topic.
Under Jiang Nan's Weibo, his older fans were all supporting him, while other netizens were shocked.
[My bro, do you have to be so tough?]
[Don't go too far. Is it really necessary for a celebrity to take netizens so seriously? They might have just said it casually. Can't you be a little more forgiving? You earn so much money, yet you're so petty. No wonder you're not more popular.]
[You're a celebrity, a public figure. What's wrong with people saying a few things? You have money and connections; that netizen definitely won't win the lawsuit.]
[Don't go too far. Celebrities are indeed public figures. You can criticize an actor's acting or a singer's singing, but you have no right to fabricate things. If Fu Jingzhou has indeed had plastic surgery, then that netizen's statement is indeed valid. But if he hasn't had plastic surgery, then this is defamation.]
[ Little Immortal Nan is narrow-minded? Don't be ridiculous. Plastic surgery is like drug addiction; once you put a label on someone, you can't take it off. Spreading rumors has no cost, but debunking them is exhausting. Don't you understand?]
[Thanks to the internet, I've witnessed so many species in human form.]
The comments under Jiang Nan's Weibo increased rapidly, with some supporting her and others criticizing her.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Xia said, "If you insist, then let's do it your way. Just send me a message if you need any help."
"Thank you, Sister Xia," Jiang Nan said sincerely.
After hanging up, he immediately called Jiang Qingye.
"Out of money again?" Jiang Qingye's voice was as lazy as ever, and there was no background noise in the call, so he was probably in a very quiet place.
"How could that be?" Jiang Nan said. "Could you lend me a lawyer?"
Jiang Nan's lawyer's license was left in another world; even a skilled cook can't cook without rice, so he can only borrow now.
Jiang Qingye seemed to sit up, becoming more serious. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing serious," Jiang Nan sneered. "It's just that I'm preparing to sue some idiot."
Jiang Qingye: "Okay, I'll call the legal department."
-
The lawyer Jiang Qingye hired was very efficient. After Jiang Nan and he finalized the details on WeChat, they submitted the case directly to the court.
After doing all that, he logged onto Weibo and posted a message.
Little Immortal Nan V: I have filed a lawsuit against Crazy Thursday.
[Holy crap! Are you serious?]
[Wow, that's incredibly efficient! I'm amazed!]
I thought this was just empty talk again, but it actually happened!
[You unfilial son, no, this time you're the real father!]
Jiang Nan turned off her phone, still seething with anger.
He spread his arms, took a deep breath, and his chest rose and fell.
When Fu Jingzhou came down the stairs and saw his posture, he asked, "Are you practicing martial arts?"
"No."
As Jiang Nan spoke, anger still lingered in her eyes.
Fu Jingzhou stopped in his tracks. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Nan: "Nothing."
Fu Jingzhou lifted his foot again, walked over, and reached out to cup Jiang Nan's chin. "Will you confess honestly yourself, or tonight...?"
He paused subtly for a moment.
Jiang Nan: "..."
Jiang Nan: "..."
He had no choice but to confess.
Fu Jingzhou was stunned for a moment, then his large hand slid down and pinched Jiang Nan's earlobe.
"I thought it was something serious. It's okay, there's no need to get angry over such a trivial matter."
"I'm so angry!!! I'm so angry!!!"
Jiang Nan crossed her arms. "What right does he have to spout off like that? What right does he have to be so irresponsible with his words? We don't owe him anything. If you don't like it, don't watch it. If you watch it and then keep complaining, who does he think he is?"
Jiang Nan truly couldn't understand it.
It is said that human nature is inherently good at birth, so why do some people like to use the most malicious thoughts to speculate about others?
Fu Jingzhou looked at his furrowed brows and angry expression, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.
In fact, he has lived amidst rumors and gossip since childhood.
The words "disabled" and "crippled" accompanied him throughout his youth.
He didn't like hearing it, but he had to continue playing the role of a cripple, so he could only silently endure it and learn to ignore it. Over time, he became immune to these words.
Only now does he realize how good it feels to have someone protecting you.
" Nannan is right."
Hearing his beautiful wife's words, Jiang Nan suddenly felt completely relaxed.
He leaned back on the sofa and asked with a sincere expression, "Am I brave?"
Fu Jingzhou tried hard to suppress a laugh and answered seriously, "Super brave."
