“Xinyan, why did you think of asking me out to go shopping today?”

Long Moqi rushed to sit by the window, unconsciously stirring the coffee cup in front of her and waved her hand to Yu Xinyan, and quickly walked toward her with a 10 cm high heels.

“Since you got married, it’s getting harder to ask you out. It’s rare that you take the initiative to ask me out.”

Now it was midsummer, just getting off the car from the parking lot to the mall made her hot enough. Watching Yu Xinyan ordered her favorite iced coffee early, Long Moqi cheered and took a quick sip.

Iced Coffee
(I’m suddenly felt thirsty)

“Why, your family’s God has been busy filming recently and can’t go home?”

Long Moqi was the only person who knew about her marriage to Yan Chu beside Yu Xinyan’s mother. She was not optimistic about their relationship, but she couldn’t say much about emotional matters, even to her best friend.

She looked at the quiet and elegant woman opposite her. Time treated her very well. Her fair and delicate skin, elegant and gentle eyebrows, and her every move was like a lady coming out of an ancient painting. This was closely related to Yu Xinyan’s mother, who called Guzheng. She was very strict about Xinyan’s behavior and discipline since childhood. The Four Arts[1], just were like cultivating the ancient young lady in general.

The most extraordinary thing Yu Xinyan did was to take part in a TV series audition without telling her mother at the age of 21, and in that play, she met Yan Chu who was also a newcomer at that time and stole his marriage license without telling everyone.

“Moqi, I am divorced. I put myself free.”

Yu Xinyan’s voice was just like her appearance. It was very gentle and no aggression, making people felt very comfortable.

She thought about the divorce certificate lying in her small bag at the moment. She should be happy, but she couldn’t say how sad she was. In twelve years, how much energy she spend lavishly in that twelve years?

Yu Xinyan’s eyes were filled with mist. She smiled at Long Moqi, but it was uglier than crying.

“What’s the matter? Is Yan Chu, that bastard who start liking a hussy[2]? You sacrificed so much for him, and that’s how he treated you?”

Long Moqi slapped the table and standing up. She went around and pulled Yu Xinyan to look for Yan Chu’s theory.

Fortunately, there were few people in this mall at this point. They chose the coffee shop’s most hidden corner. Even if someone heard Yan Chu’s name, they would only thought that they had the same name.

“It was on my own initiative.”

Yu Xinyan held on to Long Moqi, she hoped Yan Chu would refuse when she proposed divorce. But he agreed, even on the next day after she proposed divorce, let his private lawyer draw up a divorce agreement. He gave her all his properties and family savings and chose to leave a marriage with nothing (no possessions or property).

However Yan Chu was the most popular powerful star in China, naturally his remuneration was sky-high price. Various endorsement, business performance and other activities could not be overestimated. He even ranked first in the Chinese actor income list for five consecutive years.

So after a divorce, Yu Xinyan suddenly became a rich woman with a family of one billion. In the eyes of others, she should be very happy. Yu Xinyan did not know why, somewhat she wanted to cry.

He gave her everything, why? Did he really like her half-sister, Yu Xintong? Was all this just the compensation for his guilt?

Yu Xinyan didn’t want to have a bee in her bonnet[3], but now she just couldn’t calm down.

“You——”

Long Moqi did not know what to say when she listened to her friend’s words. Obviously, she wasn’t optimistic about this marriage either, but her best friend really divorced with Yan Chu. Looking at her appearance like this, she felt upset.

“How do you divide properties? How do you say that you have spent twelve years of your best youth on him? Can’t you just cheapen him like that?”

“He gave me everything.” Yu Xinyan pursed up her lips. In front of her friends, she did not tell her intuitive guess.

“He has a little conscience.”

Long Moqi was silent for a moment, murmuring. Looking at her best friend’s depressed appearance, she felt that she could no longer added negative emotions to Xinyan. At this time, what she should did was pulled Yu Xinyan out of this unhappy memory.

“The donkey family and the horse family have come out with a lot of new bags[4]. Now that you are a rich woman, let’s go and fight to get rid of the moldy smell[5] on your body.”

Long Moqi was not short of money, she also runs a small fashion clothing store herself. There was no shortage of money at all, she saying like that because she wanted to cheer Yu Xinyan up. As long as a woman could not escape the magic of shopping, didn’t that mean it could treating all kinds of diseases? Ten if one bag was not enough, when the moment came she would planned went to another store, pulled her to have fun, looked at some foreign handsome guys and washed their eyes. Maybe Xinyan would forgot that heartless man.

Yu Xinyan was not in the mood of shopping, but today she came out with Long Moqi. Listening to her, she reluctantly laughed, put down her small spoon of stirring coffee, and took the bag beside her, followed her outward.

“Wawawa, Yan Chu, he is so handsome and charming, ah ah ah ah ah!”

When they left the cafe, they happened to pass a LCD TV shop. Why a group of dressed up young girls surrounded the glass window and watched the live program being broadcast inside while screamed in a low voice?

“Also Yu Xintong, she is so beautiful, nice and gentle. I heard that she plays as Yan Chu’s white moonlight[6] in this drama. Although the ending is dead, she lets Yan Chu remember her for his whole life. Even the female lead can’t replace her position in Yan Chu’s heart. It’s so romantic. If Yan Chu can like me in real life, I’d like to die too.”

The one who spoke was obviously Yan Chu’s brainess powder[7], looking at her starry-eyed infatuation while holding her both hands in fist and putting it on her chest, nevertheless a girlfriend powder[8].

“Xinyan.”

Long Moqi pushed her in embarrassment, but Yu Xinyan’s eyes were completely glued to the TV screen, looking at the familiar man, unable to snap back for a long time.

***

Yan Chu’s program today was a variety show called “Star Live Studio[9]“. As the name implies, this program was broadcasted live all the way, and there was not any post-editing problem. Moreover, because the two main hosts of the program had sharp words, they often asked the stars who participated in the program some biting and difficult questions, and the ratings had been high.

They were promoting the upcoming new film 《Times With You[10]》 today. Yan Chu, as a male lead actor, of course, could not be absent. As the biggest card in the whole show, he was also the focus of the two hosts’ questions via torture.

Because it was a talk show, Yan Chu’s dress today was more casual. He wore simple and neat white T-shirt style and his trousers was washed blue edged jeans. His hair was both fluffy and stylish, two sharp double-edged sword eyebrows above his deep eye socket, his eyes were long and narrow, and they contained lively light inside. His tall and delicate nose, his arc of rhombic lips, and his youthful and adolescent spirit blowing in the face[11]. You couldn’t see that he was already a 35-year-old “old man.”

《Times With You》 was a famous big IP[12] adaptation film. Originally, it wasn’t know how many boys and girls’ tears swept through and countless books were written. When Yan Chu continuing on this film, there were many people who didn’t like it because the male lead in the original book was only sixteen years old when he first appeared. As a matter of fact, the novel narrated about him from sixteen to middle age. The book fans acknowledged Yan Chu’s acting skills, but they did not think he could played the childishness and youth that a boy should had at the age of sixteen.

At the present to suddenly saw Yan Chu’s appearance, those who originally did not like him had been shutting up. God simply restored to his original state OK?

Today, there were also the film director Lin Qiusheng, the female lead actress Bai Mo, the supporting female Yu Xintong. The supporting male because he also took another drama simultaneously and didn’t have time, so he did not come.

Lin Qiusheng and Yan Chu did not work together in one or two films. He was also the one who made Yan Chu won his first Film Emperor trophy. However, this famous director had a terrible temper. He was as sharp as the hosts in the Star Live Studio and they dared not ask him some excessive questions.

While Bai Mo and Yu Xintong were also considered to be popular flowers nowadays, but their head was very empty. The actresses in the entertainment circle was changing too fast, the value of these two people was still too far worse than Yan Chu’s.

“Third question, a fan left a message on our official blog, they wanted to ask Film Emperor Yan. In the original book, Chu Feng’s most beloved woman is Lin Yinyin. In real life, Film Emperor Yan, is your favorite type of girl is this kind of Lin Yinyin’s actress, Yu Xintong?”

The two hosts in the entertainment studio, a man and a woman, were all old people in the field of hosting. The hostess Wang Na held a card and harbored evil designs to smiling Yan Chu. She had let water out[13] on the first few questions, the key point was this question.

Despite the entertainment studio’s gimmick of live broadcasting, in reality, every question mentioned in the live broadcasting had been made by means of the producers and the stars. Some seemed sharp, but in fact, everyone had their own calculation in their hearts, what he asked was that the stars didn’t mind being known by others.

Wang Na thought that maybe Chen Xin intentionally made a hype for Yu Xintong in this program, borrowing Yan Chu’s popularity. To come over from the enemy’s favorable impression, this matter was very mysterious. What woman wanted was exposure, the man was also at the age of marriage and had children, the fans were not as opposed to his love as they were at first, and a hype about his love was not too much of a hindrance for him.

Chen Xin was the agent company where Yan Chu and Yu Xitong were belong to.

Yu Xintong’s dress today was especially sweet. Her neck was long and slim with a pink formal attire (evening gown). Her palm-sized face was now blushing with shame, and her blinking eyes that appear to be exceptionally large with false eyelashes, were embarrassed to look at Yan Chu beside her. It made people felt that this girl was really cute.

She lowered her forehead slightly and turned her face to the female actress Bai Mo on her other side. She knew that she was the most beautiful at this angle.

“Xintong is a very cute girl. Just the type of girl I like, it happens that is not a type like her.”

Yan Chu’s slightly chilly voice stiffened Xintong’s face. She squeezed her fists tightly and turned her eyes to him in surprise. If it hadn’t been for the live broadcast, She was afraid that she would had reacted more intensely at the moment.

The actress Bai Mo was a little depressed and suddenly got better. It went without saying, she was the female lead actress, they should came to her even if they wanted to stir up a sex scandal, ah! She was also a new promoted flower and had a competitive relationship with Yu Xintong. Now look at her face under the shadow of film emperor, let Bai Mo could not mention how happy she was in her heart.

Of course, she still looked nervously at Yu Xintong’s face. After all, they were now “good (a woman’s) best friend” ah, people’s arrangement must not collapse.

“Actually, I have a wife who has been together for twelve years, but the day before yesterday, we divorced.”

Yan Chu looked at the direction of the camera, which was also a close-up feature. When he said this, his eyes were too complex. Those deep and shining eyes like the Milky Way were filled with sadness, melancholy and countless regrets.

The Film Emperor, who has been claiming to be single, had been married for twelve years!!!

The Film Emperor, who has been claiming to be single, not only had been married, but also divorced the day before yesterday!!!

This kind of a shocking self-detonation, not to mention the two hosts on the scene, even the staff members in the background were going crazy.

The general director of the scene was crazily happy. Such a shocking news was exposed in his program. With Yan Chu’s flow rate, he could imagined the amount of broadcast and the topic of the program later. With the bonus at the end of the year, promotion and salary increase were not in question.

Almost at the end of this sentence, all the viewers who watched the program went crazy, all the entertainments who received the information went crazy, and the brokerage company behind him went crazy even more.

「What kind of woman who have their best twelve years of celestial dish? and also what kind of woman will choose to divorce with Yan Chu?」 Almost instantly, all hot searches have been replaced by related words and phrases, and of course the live broadcasting continues.

“Because of my career, because of my selfishness, I have failed her best twelve years. She is the most loved woman in my life. Unfortunately, I did not understand this reality until I lost her.”

Yan Chu saw his broker off the stage doing a crazy “keep quite” motion to him, yet he remained unmoved. He looked at the camera as if he wanted to speak to someone in front of the screen.

“Yesterday, I set her free, not because I don’t love her anymore, but because I want to tell her that if you want to give me a chance to make a new start. Career is not as important as you, wealth is not as important as you.”

“I love you……”

The last sentence, like a murmur, like a sigh. Yu Xinyan, standing in the mall, burst into tears, covering her face and sobbing.
