Yu Mandong is the housekeeper of a building in District F. He discovered that a very charming and handsome man had recently moved into the apartment. He often took the elevator downstairs wearing a black nightgown with dark patterns. He was tall and had long legs. He didn't like to tie his collar, so he just left it open, revealing a small piece of his firm chest, which looked as perfect as if it had been carefully carved.
After checking the registration information in the background, I found out that this man's name is He Yunjian.
According to her observation, this tenant surnamed He was very self-disciplined. He went for a run and walked his dog at a fixed time every morning. He was occasionally seen ordering takeout food to be delivered to his home. But what really caught Yu Mandong's attention was that he seemed to have more frequent contact with another female business owner in the apartment.
She often knocks on people's doors with the purpose of beauty, oh no, with the purpose of talking about love.
On Wednesday, Yu Mandong was bored and lying on the front desk of the lobby, checking her phone. She saw a familiar figure again. She suddenly became alert and looked out to see a beautiful woman in a misty blue windbreaker dress walking out of the elevator in high heels, holding a delicate girl in her arms. She deliberately kept a distance from the man behind her.
The next second, the man grabbed her waist, pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and whispered something in her ear.
Yu Mandong wanted to take a closer look, but was frightened by the other party's extremely stressful gaze. He quickly shrank his head, and when he looked again, there was no one in the hall.
Outside, Yu Siqing was holding Xiao Li'er in the back seat. After closing the door, she said, "Why were you glaring at that housekeeper just now?"
He Yunjian came to drive and selected the nearest shopping mall from the navigation. It was totally different: "She is peeking at us."
"… "
Yu Siqing originally wanted to say that she was not a celebrity, so it didn’t matter if someone looked at her a few times.
Then, he thought that their relationship was currently in an awkward period, and being peeped at by too many people was indeed not a good thing.
So he didn't continue talking about the housekeeper, but lowered his head slightly and asked Xiao Li'er in a gentle voice: "Are you thirsty?"
Xiaolier shook his head obediently and pointed outside the car: "Buy, yogurt..."
"Well, your aunt and uncle will take you to buy yogurt."
Yu Siqing hadn't been to the mall to replenish food for the family for a while. She had nothing to do in the afternoon and Xiaoli'er had taken a nap. He Yunjian was very willing to be the driver who ran errands and picked up the goods.
I found a large shopping mall nearby, which has all kinds of food and daily necessities, making shopping very convenient.
Yu Siqing specially picked out a pink stroller and placed Xiaoli'er in it. Taking into consideration that her mother was a female star, He Yunjian also put sunglasses on her small and tender face. However, because the frames were too big, they slipped down from time to time.
Xiao Li'er was very cooperative. She looked around behind her sunglasses, thinking about her yogurt. She pulled He Yunjian's sleeve and said, "Uncle..."
He Yunjian picked up a red apple and asked her to hold it, then pushed the cart and followed Yu Siqing closely.
After walking from the food area to the women's living area, Yu Siqing stopped and looked back to see He Yunjian burying Xiaoli'er in the shopping cart with snacks. She felt a little helpless and stopped moving forward. Instead, she said softly, "Just wait for me here."
He Yunjian pondered for two seconds and realized that she was going to the women's living area to buy something. He slowed down and kindly asked her, "Don't you want my help with reference?"
Yu Siqing looked at him, and the emotion in her gentle eyes was even more helpless, as if asking him to stop making trouble: "You haven't used it before... Can you give me some reference, the price?"
"… "
He Yunjian was forbidden to approach the living area and could only wait outside with his pink cart. The little carp inside finally came out slowly from the snacks. The sunglasses on his face loosened to one side, revealing his beautiful big black eyes, and he let out a baby voice.
Five minutes later.
Yu Siqing took out some menstrual necessities and put them in the shopping cart with a calm face. Just as she lowered her head, He Yunjian's thin lips touched the delicate skin on her cheek, and the temperature rose in waves, feeling a little hot.
She looked at him subconsciously, wiped the traces with her fingertips, and moved away tacitly.
He Yunjian continued to push the little pink cart forward. He had no desire to buy anything and just took whatever he liked. They were all snacks for the children. However, he did not forget about Yu Jiafan who was still in school and took a toy car.
Little Li pointed at the toy car and said he wanted one too.
Then, He Yunjian calmly moved a bigger one from the shelf and placed it on the little man.
Yu Siqing: “…”
Fortunately, He Suichen's daughter had a good temper and was not the type who cried or made a fuss. After the toy car was moved away, she raised her delicate face and said to He Yunjian in a dazed voice, "Uncle... you're going to crush me to death."
Yu Siqing quickly took the little guy out of the stroller to prevent him from being crushed by snacks and toys again.
It was inconvenient for her to pick up things as she was holding the things in her arms, so she handed it over to He Yunjian who was standing beside her. The two of them strolled around like this, no different from ordinary couples. When she was in New York, Yu Siqing had fantasized about this countless times during her pregnancy... One day she would be able to bring her lovely daughter and go shopping with him in the supermarket, buying all kinds of things and filling up the refrigerator at home.
But she didn't expect that this scene would come nearly ten years late, and the person in her arms was not her own daughter.
After completing the purchase, the two began to queue up. There were many people in front of them. Yu Siqing put Xiaolier's sunglasses back on, wiped her hands, and stuffed the tissue into He Yunjian's suit trouser pocket.
When she was about to pull her hand away, He Yunjian grabbed her fingertips first and held them in his palm without making a sound.
He grabbed her and held on, his face expression calm as he stared at her reaction.
Yu Siqing did not struggle, and only took it back when she was almost at the cashier counter. At this time, He Yunjian suddenly said to the little person in her arms very gently: "Play a game with uncle, okay?"
Little Li'er tilted his head slightly, lips slightly parted: "What game?"
He Yunjian asked her to close her eyes behind her sunglasses, count dozens of times, and then open them to look for him.
Little Li knew that this game was called hide and seek, and he had played it with his brother before. He said happily, "Okay, okay."
She began to count in a baby voice: "One, two, three..."
He Sui Chen taught her how to count from one to ten, and also taught her to recite ancient poems. Xiao Li'er had a good memory and remembered them all.
When he counted to five, He Yunjian stretched out his slender hand without changing his expression and took out a box of apple-flavored condoms from the cabinet next to the cashier. This scene made Yu Siqing embarrassed and the cashier almost laughed out loud.
"ten!"
After counting, Xiao Li'er opened his eyes excitedly, but saw He Yunjian standing in front of him. He was completely confused: "Huh?"
He Yunjian handed her a strawberry-flavored lollipop and said calmly, "This is your reward."
The cashier couldn't help but laugh at the expression on his face at this time, and looked at Yu Siqing with a little envy who was pretending not to know the man. Unfortunately, anyone with a discerning eye knew what her relationship with him was, and the interaction couldn't be faked.
…
After shopping in the supermarket in the mall, He Yunjian looked at his watch and thought it was still early, so he suggested going upstairs to visit the luxury goods area and not rushing back.
Yu Siqing couldn't influence his thoughts, so she just followed him silently. She didn't want to buy anything. He Yunjian was so generous that he seemed to want to take over the whole mall. In order to make her not object, he went to the children's area first.
He Yunjian bought a lot of clothes for Yu Jiafan and Xiao Li'er, and also bought some for himself, and then walked to the women's clothing area.
He looked down at her fair face, with a smile in his eyes: "To reward you for accompanying me shopping so hard, I'll give you a few things as a reward."
Speaking of several items, Yu Siqing felt like he was robbing a store, just like the last time he bought medicine.
Yu Siqing has been a strong woman for so many years, and she has achieved financial freedom long ago. For her, these material possessions can be easily obtained by swiping a credit card, but she does not have a strong desire to consume, as long as she can dress warmly, that's enough.
He Yunjian wanted to give her the best and treat her better.
This thought has taken root in my bones, and it becomes stronger every time I dream of Yu Siqing walking alone in the snowy night.
Seeing his behavior, even Xiaoli'er whispered to Yu Siqing: "Uncle is more money-spending than my mother."
Yu Siqing gently scratched the little guy's face with her fingertips and smiled: "You also know what spending money is?"
Xiao Li nodded, of course he understood the word "spending money".
The reason is very simple. When Gu Qingwu usually calls the company's management team, her catchphrase is that if there is a script recently, she should work hard to make money to support her father-in-law and daughter...
Moreover, Gu Qingwu especially loves to buy things for He Suichen, and the express deliveries at home pile up like a mountain every now and then. When he opens them, they are all from his father.
Xiao Li'er had a vague idea that all the money his mother earned was spent on his father.
Just like all the money my uncle earns now is spent on this aunt.
The logic in her head then became: "Uncle loves you so much."
The smile on Yu Siqing's lips paused for a moment, then quickly curved up again and kissed Xiaoli'er's forehead.
It was not until the evening that He Yunjian stopped lingering in the mall. He calculated the time and drove with Yu Siqing to the school to pick up his son.
The atmosphere on their side was harmonious and warm, but at the same time, Gu Qingwu's dressing room was in chaos. Half an hour before the recording of the program, a piece of entertainment news suddenly appeared on Weibo, and the popularity remained high.
The topic was about Gu Qingwu. A whistleblower claimed that he met the husband of a popular actress's wedding of the century in a shopping mall. The other party was wearing casual shirt and trousers, and was shopping with a young woman and a child.
Pictures speak louder than words. The whistleblower posted several secretly taken photos online.
Because I was sneaking by and the distance was quite far, I could only vaguely see that the woman was wearing a misty blue windbreaker dress. Her back was quite slender, and she was holding a girl wearing sunglasses in her arms, whose face was blocked.
And "He Sui Chen" was clearly photographed, with his handsome face and upright body lines all exposed to the camera.
On the second floor below ground in the mall.
When passing by the seafood area, he put his left hand around the woman's waist, stood in a very intimate posture, with his chin close to her ear. It was unclear what they were discussing about buying, but they seemed very intimate.
These photos of the cheating made fans go crazy, and they cursed under the topic on Weibo:
—"What kind of scumbag is this? My daughter Wuwu loves crabs the most, but he takes other women to buy seafood?"
— "Ahhh, my love is broken... How long has it been since they held the wedding of the century? The man cheated!!!"
— "Cheating and having an illegitimate daughter, just sentence her to death!"
— "What a shameless bastard! Isn't a top-notch beauty like Gu Qingwu enough for him to love?"
— "Wow, I don't believe it. How much does He Suichen love Gu Qingwu? How could it be possible... How could he cheat? Ah, he is Gu Qingwu's godly brother."
— "Is it just my illusion??? Why does the man in the photo look a bit old? How terrible must He Suichen's married life be."
—"You're not that old. You look as energetic as before the wedding."
— "I heard through the grapevine that Gu Qingwu was getting divorced. She saw the news in her dressing room and burst into tears... Many people surrounded her to comfort her. Her agent has already asked a lawyer to ask for relevant legal knowledge."
— "Alas, another loving couple who look like they are in love but are actually apart... Can't the goddesses in the domestic entertainment industry just focus on their careers? Men may run away, but careers and fans won't!"
— "I feel sorry for my sister."
…
When Gu Qingwu saw the rumor, she almost choked to death on the hot water, her tongue was scalded, and she quickly covered her mouth and asked the assistant for ice. This indirectly made the dressing room chaotic, and when she recovered from the shock, the makeup at the corners of her eyes was blurred by physiological tears.
Seeing that the recording time was almost up, the makeup artist hurried to touch up her makeup.
The assistant and others handed her ice cubes and carefully comforted her: "Sister Qingwu, don't be too sad."
Gu Qingwu leaned back on the chair with her head raised, her thin white shoulders trembling. She couldn't help but want to laugh: "Why should I be sad... He is not my husband."
"ah?"
"Sister Qingwu, when did you get divorced?"
Facing the undisguised look of astonishment from the crowd, Gu Qingwu raised her index finger and shook it gently, saying slowly: "We are not divorced. The one on the hot search is my husband's brother..."
It's not He Yunjian's fault that he was careless and became a hot topic. It was because the wedding of the century held by He Suichen was too sensational, and the bride was a popular female star. Naturally, her face was firmly remembered by netizens.
Before the show officially started recording, Gu Qingwu called He Suichen and briefly told him about the trending search. Before he finished, he paused for a few seconds and said, "Your elder brother is so good at hiding it. He actually took our daughter to the mall for a date with Yu Siqing."
Living in the same building and seeing each other every day, Gu Qingwu didn't notice anything unusual.
If it hadn’t been exposed on Weibo this time, I don’t know how long it would have been kept secret.
He Sui Chen spoke calmly, not feeling any surprise, and simply said: "My eldest brother sends breakfast and flowers to our neighbor every day, and it's not in vain."
He saw it!!!
Gu Qingwu was surprised and asked, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
He Suichen: "Other couples' affairs..."
Gu Qingwu knew what he was going to say next, so she interrupted him and said, "I'll ask Brother Yuan to suppress the hype. As for the public relations, Xiaoli'er's identity cannot be mentioned. For the rest, you can ask your eldest brother."
After all, she couldn't be sure to what extent He Yunjian and Yu Siqing had secretly developed their relationship, or whether they had reunited.
This clarification in public relations is not easy to write.
He Sui Chen was also scolded by netizens for no reason. He was doing hard labor in the company and had to help take the blame: "Okay, when do you finish recording the show? I'll pick you up."
"Ten o'clock at night...Hang up."
After Gu Qingwu hung up the phone, she didn't check the trending searches on Weibo anymore. Apart from scolding He Sui Chen for cheating, most of the searches were protesting and asking her to get a divorce. She walked towards the recording site in her high heels and handed the phone to her assistant.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, He's official Weibo account formally responded to the scandal, unlike those male stars who issued lawyers' letters and statements.
Instead, a highly clear surveillance video was played, proving that He Sui Chen stayed in the company all day and did not go out. Just when netizens were confused, the official Weibo account updated another Weibo post.
The photo on Weibo showed He Yunjian standing in a large courtyard, leisurely feeding a pond of carp. His slender fingers were holding a white jade porcelain, and the hanging curtain next to him was half-rolled up. The warm yellow light of the sunset shone in, and his slender figure and profile seemed to be covered with a layer of light.
The official blog posted a short message: "Let me introduce you to He Suichen's brother He Yunjian."
The author has something to say: The pre-collection of Xiaolier is also available. It is the Paper Rose in the column. If you are interested, you can collect it.
