Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

"Brother Chu, do you love me that much? You're willing to stay away from your world for me." Mingxi hugged Chu Yu's neck, looking at him with great pride.

Chu Yu patted his head and chuckled softly, "I love you, I love you so much. A world with you is the world I should exist in."

"Brother Chu!" Mingxi was so moved that tears were about to flow. He pressed his face against Chu Yu's neck, enjoying the sweetness of the moment.

Chu Yu tightened his grip on Mingxi's arm, while his other hand comforted Chu Jinghe, who was wrapped around his waist. The family of three embraced each other warmly and happily.

After a long while, a loud "Cut!" was heard, and a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the room.

"Mr. Chu, Mr. Ming, Young Master, your acting was absolutely superb! If this were shown on the big screen, it would move the audience to tears!"

"Yes! Especially Mr. Ming, your acting is amazing, you even drew me, a complete novice, into the story."

"Compared to you, the main characters in today's popular movies and TV series are nothing but garbage!"

"Mr. Chu, I never expected that an entrepreneur like you could act so professionally, even more so than the professionals! You're truly amazing!"

"Mr. Ming, your retirement from the entertainment industry is truly a loss for all viewers."

"I think the young master is more capable; he's talented and inherited Mr. Ming's good genes."

"I think that besides acting skills, it's more about genuine emotions. Mr. Chu and Mr. Ming's relationship is genuine, which is why their acting is so moving."

....

Besides the enthusiastic applause, everyone who had just fallen to the ground, including the butler Li Yujing who had been "shot in the head," got up and surrounded the three of them, showering them with genuine praise.

Chu Yu listened to these words of praise, smiled, and didn't take them seriously.

However, Mingxi took it seriously, and he straightened his back even more unconsciously, feeling quite pleased with himself.

He was overjoyed inside, but he had to feign humility. He waved his hand and sighed softly, "It's been a long time since I've acted, and my acting skills have become a bit rusty."

When Mingxi is in the lead role, there are naturally people who "support" him.

"No way! If your acting skills were rusty, all those popular stars wouldn't stand a chance; they'd be better off than you."

"That's why they say acting is all about talent. Someone like you, born with natural acting skills, can pick it up again anytime soon, no matter how long you've put it down!"

"Yes, I almost cried when I saw you and Mr. Chu embracing each other so tenderly. I was lying on the ground and it was so hard to hold back my tears."

As she listened to his elaborate performance, Mingxi's lips curled into a wider smile. "Hahaha! Is my acting really that good?"

"Really, Mr. Ming, I'm a very honest person."

"Yes, Mr. Ming, we're speaking from the heart. If it's good, it's good."

"Your acting skills shouldn't be denied just because you're good-looking."

....

Seeing Mingxi being coaxed into being like a happy kitten with its tail wagging, Chu Yu felt happy too. Playing with him was really a very interesting thing.

Chu Jinghe, who was in a great mood after being praised by everyone, turned around and saw his eldest father looking at his youngest father with a smile.

He grabbed Chu Yu's hand and shook it. "Dad, everyone says I acted really well. Do you think I acted well?"

Chu Yu looked down at his eldest son, who was looking at him with a pleading expression, and smiled. He bent down and picked him up. "Good, of course it's good. You inherited your father's talent, so of course your acting is good."

Although he already knew the answer, Chu Jinghe was still very happy to be praised by his father. "Haha! Dad, your acting skills are good too, only a little worse than mine and my stepfather's."

To show that there was really only a little bit, Chu Jinghe stretched out his hand and made a pinching gesture in front of Chu Yu's eyes.

Chu Yu was so charmed by his adorable appearance that his heart almost melted. He reached out and pinched his cheek, saying, "You're just like your father."

"What kind?"

"Cute, so adorable."

"Because I was born from my dad, hehe!"

....

Although Mingxi was very confident and believed that everyone in his family was telling the truth in their praise of him, he was also generous. When he was flattered, he waved his hand and said, "Everyone's bonus this month will be doubled."

"Thank you, Mr. Ming! Thank you, Mr. Chu! Thank you, young master!"

....

The crowd expressed their gratitude repeatedly; their monthly bonuses were already substantial, and doubling that amounted to a considerable sum.

Mingxi nodded in satisfaction, then looked at a young man wearing a baseball cap, "Xiao Wang, make sure the footage you shoot this time is well-edited, and the special effects are good too."

Chu Jinghe's personal driver and director, Wang Xinwang, immediately chimed in, "Okay, Mr. Ming, I guarantee that the final product will be just as good as any blockbuster!"

"it is good."

After speaking, Mingxi looked at the undisputed "third male lead" of this scene—Butler Li.

Mingxi patted him on the shoulder, "Butler Li, you acted really well, your emotions were spot on. Since you had a lot of scenes and worked hard, your bonus this month will be tripled."

Li Yujing smiled humbly and said, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Ming. My acting skills are far inferior to yours. I should thank you for giving me this opportunity to show myself."

"Haha! That's true. Alright, everyone, let's tidy up this place and then head out."

"Okay, Mr. Ming."

As everyone packed their things, they all had smiles on their faces, some even humming songs, clearly in a very good mood.

You get paid for acting and playing along with your employer during work hours. If your employer is in a good mood, your bonus can even double. Where else can you find such a good deal?

So whenever Mingxi wants to "start a play," all the employees in the family rush to sign up, and some even practice on their own in order to earn an extra salary.

After running, jumping, crying, and laughing all day, Mingxi felt really tired after it was all over!

She leaned against Chu Yu, rested her head on his shoulder, and nuzzled against him. "Honey, I'm so tired~"

Chu Yu freed one hand and patted Mingxi's head. "If you're tired, let's go back to our room to rest and take a shower. It'll be time for dinner soon."

"Okay, shall we take a shower together? Jinghe too."

"Okay! Dad, let's take a bath together." Chu Jinghe, who is at this age, is still happy to take a bath with his fathers and immediately supports Mingxi's suggestion.

Chu Yu thought to himself, since his bathtub was like a small swimming pool and there was plenty of room for the three of them, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's take a bath together."

On the way to the bathroom, Chu Yu was extremely "tired" as he carried Chu Jinghe in his arms and dragged Mingxi along his arm the whole time.

However, at this moment, the benefits of years of fitness training became apparent. Chu Yu didn't even pant and chatted and laughed with the father and son with ease.

"Dad, tonight we'll have your favorite pandan leaf mango sticky rice, curry crab, grilled pork neck, green papaya salad, and seafood tom yum soup."

"Wow! That's great, is it a reward for my serious acting?"

Looking at Mingxi's bright, earnest cat-like eyes, Chu Yu smiled indulgently, "Well, you're so dedicated, you definitely deserve a reward."

"Hehe!" Mingxi, having received affirmation from her husband, turned her gaze to her son, Chu Jinghe, and squeezed his little hand. "Jinghe, what do you think of Daddy's acting?"

Without thinking, Chu Jinghe said, "Dad, you acted exceptionally well! You acted better than the main characters in all the movies and TV series I've seen."

"Oh! You're such a sweet baby! I don't believe what they say, but I believe what my sweet baby says. Come here, let Daddy kiss you, mwah! mwah!"

As she spoke, Mingxi kissed Chu Jinghe's little face several times, and also gave Chu Yu a few kisses.

"Daddy, I want to kiss you too, ya!"

"Okay, good boy."

"By the way, Dad, next time we're filming, could you give Ningning a role? Ningning really wants to participate after she found out we sometimes film movies."

"Of course, welcome to the team."

"Then I'll call him in a bit and tell him. He'll definitely be very happy when he finds out."

"Hahaha! Okay."

The family of three took a warm bath, ate dinner, and then snuggled together watching TV, drinking tea, and chatting, their simple life filled with happiness.

……

It was late at night.

After a period of "daily exercise," Chu Yu leaned against the headboard, while Ming Xi lay comfortably in his arms, savoring the moment.

However, he wasn't reminiscing about the "battle" just now, but rather about the "grand show" that had unfolded that day.

"Brother Chu, your acting skills are getting better and better. Today, when I acted with you, I almost couldn't tell the difference between reality and fiction."

After saying that, Mingxi sighed softly, lamenting, "It won't be long before you surpass me."

Seeing his pretentious little act, Chu Yu curled the corners of his lips, patted his shoulder, and said, "No matter how long it takes, I won't be able to compare to you. You are our family's movie star."

"Is that really what you think?" Mingxi raised her head and tilted it to look at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu nodded sincerely, "Of course."

"You have good taste." Mingxi chuckled, stretched out her arms to hug Chu Yu's neck, kissed him on the cheek, and then pressed her face against the crook of his neck, snuggling against Chu Yu in an extremely intimate and fitting position.

Chu Yu patted his head and said, "If you want to make a comeback, I support you. Don't worry about what other people think, just be happy."

At first, Mingxi would only occasionally drag Chuyu into performing some "embarrassing little dramas," but now it has evolved into having the whole family participate.

The filming process was meticulously documented, with costumes, props, and post-production editing and special effects all on point—it was practically a small family-run production.

In their circle, people in the entertainment industry are not highly regarded.

Although Mingxi has always done whatever he wants and said whatever he wants without caring what others think, Chu Yu was still afraid that he would compromise himself because of other people's opinions, so he said these words.

In Chu Yu's view, face is never given by others, but earned by oneself.

As long as you are strong enough, no matter what you do, people will flatter you and rush to beautify all your actions.

Mingxi understood what Chu Yu meant, and felt a warmth in his heart. He rubbed his face against Chu Yu's neck and said in a low voice, "People don't come back to acting because of those boring people."

"All they ever say is that I'm going through a divorce and being kicked out of the wealthy family. It's all so unoriginal. I find acting at home much more interesting than being directed by a director on set. But who knows, maybe one day I'll change my mind and give my fans and audience a big surprise."

Hearing him say that, Chu Yu stopped thinking about it and said, "Fine, do whatever you want, whatever makes you happy."

"Oh! Honey~ You're always so thoughtful. Being with you was the best decision I ever made. You're the best lover in the world!"

"Hehe! You're the best lover too."

"Yeah, me too."

....

After a period of sweet talk and intimate words, Mingxi lay on Chu Yu's chest, enjoying the dual pleasures of mind and body that her handsome husband brought her.

His mind inevitably started to wander again, and this time it wasn't about anything inappropriate for children, but rather "metaphysics".

"Brother Chu."

"Um?"

"Do you think our world might be fake? Are we all just characters in a story?"

Mingxi usually enjoys reading fantasy novels and watching fantasy movies. Although he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he still likes to discuss "metaphysical" things with Chu Yu.

Chu Yu was used to his rambling, nonsensical remarks. He squeezed the man's shoulder hard and teased him with a smile, "How could something that feels so real be fake? What have you been watching lately? Is Blue Star some advanced civilization's breeding ground? Or is Blue Star just a cell of some organism?"

Seeing that he only took her words as a joke, Mingxi wrinkled her nose, rolled over and lay on top of Chu Yu, looking at him seriously, "It's not what those marketing accounts are saying."

"I mean it, there are times when I suddenly feel like I've experienced something before, that it's very familiar, and that many things are destined to happen."

"Furthermore, whatever I want, I will definitely get; whatever I hope will happen, it will definitely happen. It's like this world is a world where I am the protagonist."

Hearing this, Chu Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahaha!" He even pinched Mingxi's incredibly serious little face.

His actions infuriated Mingxi! She glared at him with wide eyes and shouted, "I was seriously discussing this with you!"

Chu Yu chuckled and pinched his cheek again, saying innocently, "I'm being very serious too, listening attentively to what you're saying, the protagonist of the world."

Seeing that he was still teasing her, Mingxi rolled her eyes. "I am the protagonist, there is no doubt about that. However, that's not the point I'm trying to make. I feel that everyone's fate seems to be arranged in advance. There is an invisible hand that makes us meet and fall in love."

At that moment, Chu Yu suddenly felt like teasing Mingxi, so he deliberately said, "Wasn't it Cheng Yuyu who brought us together, and your initiative that led us to fall in love?"

His remarks immediately provoked Mingxi's fierce "retaliation".

"Ouch..." Chu Yu winced in pain, clutching his chest with one hand and holding Mingxi close to his chest with the other. "After all these years, your biting habit hasn't changed at all."

Mingxi, who was firmly held in a grip, did not struggle. Instead, she snorted triumphantly, "Who told you to make up stories? It was clearly love at first sight between the two of us. It was mutual. How could it be my initiative? Besides, biting you was an outward manifestation of my love for you."

"Ha!" Chu Yu was amused by his self-righteous attitude. "Love is mutual, so I'll give you some outward expressions of love in return."

As he spoke, Chu Yu kissed Mingxi on the cheek.

Mingxi immediately began to struggle fiercely, "Ah! No! Husband~ please spare me, my face is insured for tens of millions, it's very precious!"

"Ha! So you mean my pectoral muscles aren't valuable?"

"Ouch! That's not what I meant! Ah! Don't bite there, hahaha! It tickles!"

...

The two joked and played around for a while, but it ended when Mingxi was too tired and begged for mercy.

Chu Yu looked at Ming Xi, who was lying on his arm, still breathing a little unsteadily, with a smile on his face. He curled the corners of his mouth, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from Ming Xi's forehead, and said, "See if you dare to bite me again next time."

Mingxi turned to the side, pinched Chu Yu's firm pectoral muscles, and said in a high-pitched voice, "You were the one who provoked me first~"

"Hehe! You! I provoked you first." Chu Yu smiled helplessly, patted Mingxi's head, "It's getting late, lie down here and rest for a while, then we'll go to sleep."

"Okay, sure." Mingxi was also tired from all the fuss, so she nestled obediently in Chu Yu's arms.

Once his body had some free time, his mind started working again. He remembered the topic they hadn't finished discussing earlier, "Brother Chu, what if our world really is fake?"

Seeing his enthusiasm for the topic, Chu Yu pondered for a few seconds and then said gently, "Whether the world is real or fake, what does it matter? No matter which world we're in or what kind of beings we are, as long as the three of us can be together, that's enough. Love is real, don't you think?"

Mingxi raised her head and looked into Chu Yu's deep, unfathomable eyes, eyes that held him and his love.

At that moment, he thought, "Yeah, that's true! What's real or fake? Anyway, his love with Brother Chu is real, the love between the three of them is real, and his happiness and extravagant life are real. That's enough."

Thinking this, Mingxi nodded vigorously and hugged Chu Yu tightly. "Yes! Brother Chu, you're right! As long as the three of us are together, that's enough!"

Chu Yu smiled and hugged him back, then kissed the top of his head, his face full of doting affection.

Earth is but a tiny speck in the vast universe, and humanity is utterly insignificant.

The truth and falsehood of the world are never important; being happy with your loved ones and family is what matters most.
