Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

After being pestered by Mingxi for a long time on the phone, Chu Yu had just hung up when he received another call from Zhao Haiting.

I glanced at the time and couldn't help but pinch my brow; he just wouldn't stop.

As soon as the call connected, Zhao Haiting's cheerful voice came through the phone, mixed with bursts of cheers and sounds like the roar of an engine.

"What's going on?! I've been trying to call you but it's always busy. Are you chatting with that little star from last time?" Zhao Haiting teased.

Actually, he was just teasing Chu Yu casually. He had been worried that his little cousin might be infatuated with that minor celebrity and then throw money into his life, which would eventually expose him.

As it turns out, there seems to be no further development between the two. When his mother chats with his aunt, the aunt always praises Chu Yu for being sensible and ambitious, and for being busy with work every day.

Zhao Haiting thought that these two people probably didn't have any special story, but he didn't expect to hear Chu Yu on the other side talking about it.

"He has a name, Mingxi. Didn't he introduce himself before?"

"Huh?! Could I have been right? You were just talking on the phone with that minor celebrity, no, Mingxi?"

"What do you want? If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. It's time to go to sleep." Chu Yu had no interest in discussing his private life with others.

"Don't hang up! Don't hang up! Something's up. A few new cars just arrived. I've rented one for a quick run. It's at No. 36 Coastal Highway. Hurry up! You're so young, don't just stay at home all the time. All you do is work."

Chu Yu sighed helplessly, "Big brother, he's on a business trip and not in Beijing."

"What?! You…"

Zhao Haiting was interrupted before he could finish speaking, "Young Master Ting, are you going to play in this match?"

"Young Master Ting~ Come here quickly~"

"Tingzi, what's going on? Aren't you done fighting yet? Is your cousin coming?"

Zhao Haiting raised his hand to the men and women not far away and shouted, "You guys run first!" Then he walked to a slightly quieter place nearby.

"You're so ambitious, kid. You're always busy with work and can't even get a date. Now you're on a business trip somewhere. When is your shop opening? I'll find some internet celebrities from my company to promote it for you."

"Okay, thank you in advance. It should take about another month."

"We're family, why are you being so formal with thanks? By the way, how are things going with Mingxi? You must have settled things, right?" Zhao Haiting was genuinely curious.

Chu Yu thought it was unbelievable how a grown man could be so gossipy. "Aren't your friends waiting for you? Go play with them."

"Huh? We're not talking anymore?"

"Be careful, don't drive too fast."

"Damn! You're my brother, aren't you!" Zhao Haiting laughed and cursed. "Message me when you get back, let's grab a bite to eat."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Haiting smiled, shook his head, and walked towards the crowd.

A beautiful woman in a tight short skirt immediately came up to Zhao Haiting and pressed herself against him, "Young Master Ting, when are you going to take me for a ride in that Lamborghini? I've been waiting for so long."

Zhao Haiting pulled her into his arms, lowered his head to get close to the beauty's face, and teased, "Come on, brother will take you flying."

"You're so bad~"

……

In the days that followed, the two were busy with their own things, and Mingxi's film crew finally started filming.

Chu Yu's schedule is very full every day. In addition to visiting the factory, discussing details and signing contracts, he also has to handle some company work remotely and hold online meetings.

Everything proceeded smoothly. During Chu Yu's business trip, all the machines were brought into the factory one after another, debugged, and the raw materials were all in place and passed inspection.

The production line has undergone several trial runs, and the connections between the various pieces of equipment are very smooth. The process flow verification is also fine. However, the quality of the finished products is slightly different from the expected target, and some adjustments are still needed.

The first Burger King store has been renovated and all equipment and materials have been installed. Employees have received training on everything from brand philosophy, product features, food safety and hygiene to specific operational and service procedures.

With only a few minor details and final production testing and confirmation of the finished product remaining, Burger King can officially open for business.

On the day Chu Yu returned from his business trip, Ming Xi originally planned to pick him up at the station, but the film crew notified him at the last minute that he had scenes to film that day.

It infuriated him. Kong Rui was right about their group: they lived together, studied the script, and were very serious during rehearsals, but when it came to the actual filming, they were really not good.

The costumes, props, and sets were all subpar. The domineering CEO drives a million-dollar car, but the actor playing a popular singer looks like a bar singer performing at his concert in the show. The rest is even worse; it's hard to describe.

What frustrated him the most was that they always had to adjust their filming schedule because of Feng Nan. This time it was the same. He heard that Feng Nan had taken on some online variety show, and the recording time clashed with their film crew's schedule.

The producer and director were no longer as friendly as they usually were. They didn't say a word and directly changed the shooting schedule. On the day Chu Yu returned, Ming Xi had a scene with Feng Nan and had no choice but to go.

As for the evening, Chu Yu has been away on a business trip for so long and has to have dinner with Zhao Ruoying and the others.

The next day, he was busy going to the company for a meeting and handling work. When the two met again, it was already the fourth day since Chu Yu returned.

Mingxi lay on the bed, her head resting on Chu Yu's abs, and muttered, "I feel like I'm your mistress. We only see each other a few times a month, and when we do meet, it's just this."

Chu Yu smiled without saying a word, but simply reached out and touched his cheek.

"That's not right either. Mistresses just spend money and enjoy themselves every day, while I have to work hard to earn money. Mistresses live in big houses, while I live in small houses..."

While speaking, she stole a glance at Chu Yu to see his expression and reaction.

Chu Yu remained in the same position, touching his face without saying a word.

Mingxi instantly flew into a rage, shoved the hand off her face, and shoved her head into Chu Yu's stomach twice, glaring at him with her big eyes.

"Ugh..." Chu Yu groaned, grabbing Mingxi's hair and pulling her slightly towards himself. "Are you trying to murder your husband?!"

Seeing Chu Yu's expression, Mingxi knew that he had "stood up" too much just now, but that was to be expected, since he didn't know when he would be able to move into his big house.

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and his eyes involuntarily reddened. Seeing him like this, Chu Yu lost all his anger.

She released her grip on his hair, sighed softly, and opened her arms. "Come here, let your husband give you a hug."

It would have been better if he hadn't tried to comfort her; the more he tried, the more tears Mingxi's eyes started falling. Chu Yu had no choice but to get up and pull her into his arms.

While wiping away his tears, she said, "Don't cry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have grabbed your hair, but I didn't hit you hard, did I? Those headbutts you gave me still hurt."

What the hell? Was he upset that his hair was pulled?! I really don't understand him! Mingxi thought speechlessly.

Chu Yu continued, "I remember you had a ring you really wanted to buy. Now that I'm back, I'll take you to buy it."

Upon hearing this, Mingxi realized, "Oh right, he promised me before, 'I'll eat at the White Swan Hotel again, and also, I feel like I don't have any clothes to wear lately...'"

"Let's buy them together."

"Husband~ Brother Chu~ You're so good, I forgive you." Mingxi smiled through her tears, wrapped her arms around Chu Yu's neck, and acted coquettishly.

It's fine even if there are no fish or shrimp.

Looking at Mingxi, who was both crying and laughing, Chu Yu thought, "She's such a child, so easy to please."

I want a big house, but I don't have one. I only have a small ring, and I can be happy just having a meal or buying clothes.
