Chapter 57 The Comparison

The screen immediately cut, and this time the director placed Chen Yi’s live broadcast room on the left, taking up half the screen.

“Hahaha, director, just say you want us to go to Chen Yi’s live broadcast room, what’s the big deal?”

“Director: I have pride to uphold!”

“Look quickly, they seem to be arguing. I knew the director wouldn’t have switched the scene so quickly.”

“Hurry and go watch the drama, quick, quick, quick.”

Meanwhile, while her husband was on a conference call, Chen Yi deliberately walked in several times, bringing him tea, drinks, and fruit. She knew her husband hated it the most when someone walked around him while he was working.

Originally, she just wanted to provoke her husband into complaining a bit, and then she could seize the opportunity to complain about how virtuous she was and how difficult her life had been over the years. This would create a point of conflict and also garner sympathy from everyone.

Who knew that Zheng Peng initially chose to endure it, considering that there were cameras around.

After a few attempts, Chen Yi still showed no signs of restraint. Seeing that he didn’t say anything, she even went back and forth several times without a cause. He finally exploded.

“I’m just caring about you, bringing you tea and water, washing your fruit. Is everything I do wrong now?” Chen Yi felt miserable thinking about the women her husband had outside.

“How many times have I told you not to bother me when I’m working? You were fine before, weren’t you? When you came in the first time, I gave you a look. Didn’t you see it?” Zheng Peng felt she was being particularly unreasonable today.

“You’re impatient with me now, aren’t you? When you were pursuing me, didn’t you say I was perfect in everything? Zheng Peng, how many years have you been married to me? I’m not old yet!” Chen Yi was a little worked up at this point.

“What are you talking about? I’m telling you not to come in casually when I’m working. Your constant coming and going is very annoying. You never used to be like this. What’s gotten into you today?”

Zheng Peng, afraid his wife would say something inappropriate in front of the camera, kept signaling to the production team, hoping they would stop filming.

He had disagreed with his wife returning to film variety shows from the start; their family could afford to support her. It was only a few days ago, upon hearing that the daughter of the Ye family was also participating, that he agreed, hoping to use this opportunity to connect with the Ye family.

Now, he deeply regretted it. He hadn’t managed to connect with the Ye family, but he had exposed his own domestic scandal.

“Is it wrong for me to be good to you? Is it wrong for me to care about you? I was just coming in and out of the room, I didn’t make any noise. Aren’t you just annoyed to see me?”

“Think whatever you want.” Zheng Peng couldn’t be bothered to argue with her anymore and waved his hand, intending to go out for some peace and quiet.

“You can’t leave, explain yourself. Are you looking down on me? Do you think I’ve become a faded beauty?” Chen Yi even tried to grab him.

“Aren’t you annoying!” Zheng Peng hadn’t expected the woman to be so persistent. He casually swung his hand, unintentionally pushing Chen Yi away.

“Mommy~ Wah!” Chen Yi happened to be thrown onto the sofa, and was seen by her daughter who had just come out of her room. Seeing her parents fighting, she immediately burst into tears.

Chen Yi then hugged her daughter and started crying loudly. The staff members were also very awkward. They could only step forward to comfort the couple.

The netizens watched this dramatic scene with great interest.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk~ This is much more interesting than the shrewish scolding next door to my house.”

“Chen Yi’s husband is truly scum! He dislikes his wife, is impatient with her even though she’s so good to him, and even laid hands on her in the end. What a scumbag!”

“Exactly, Chen Yi is so virtuous! He gets angry at her for no reason. As expected, men are all no good!”

“The two upstairs, can you speak some sense? While Zheng Peng might be a scumbag, Chen Yi isn’t much better, is she? As the saying goes, it takes two hands to clap.”

“Let’s stick to the facts. He said not to disturb him while he was working. I don’t believe she, after being married to her husband for seven years, doesn’t know this habit. Also, I saw that in the end, her husband just wanted to push her away, not deliberately hit her.”

“She must have deliberately staged it for the show, but got too engrossed in the performance and forgot her husband’s habits.”

“Regardless, neither of them is good.”

“Right! Knowing her husband is having an affair and yet not divorcing him, she must be unwilling to give up on marrying into a wealthy family.”

“What matches what, thinking about it this way, I really want to go back and watch Emperor Ye.”

“Exactly, Emperor Ye’s family is still so warm and loving. Aren’t their connections much greater than the Zheng family’s?”

“Don’t you think the most pitiful are the directors? They just wanted to spectate, but were forced to intervene and help out, haha.”

At this moment, the screen returned to Nuannuan.

Ye Jingxing had been thinking about how they didn’t include him when they were building blocks together before, so he had specifically gone to buy the most expensive Lego set on the market yesterday, wanting to build something with Nuannuan.

When Ye Jingxing took it out, Nuannuan felt he might have overestimated his intelligence.

“Oh my god! It’s the ‘Star Wars’ set! Not only is it expensive, but it’s also incredibly difficult to assemble!”

“Does Emperor Ye have some misunderstanding about his niece? Even adults find this Lego set difficult to put together!”

“The person upstairs is quite something! It proves you’ve actually assembled it before. I’d still like to see it!”

“Just looking at it is complicated, I’m getting goosebumps.”

“Ye Jingxing, what were you thinking?” Ye Jinghuai looked at him with confusion.

“I… I… I just told the salesperson to give me the most expensive one…” Ye Jingxing lowered his voice guiltily, almost inaudibly.

“Nuannuan, how about you play with Fourth Uncle for a while? If it’s too difficult, we can just not build it.” Ye Jingxing tentatively asked Nuannuan.

“Alas~ Alright, Nuannuan will play with Fourth Uncle for a bit. Little Uncle and Daddy, you guys come too!” Nuannuan sighed helplessly.

“Nuannuan calling for Little Uncle, of course Little Uncle is duty-bound.” Ye Jingzhi happily sat down.

“Nuannuan, Daddy has an email to reply to. Daddy will come back later, okay?” Ye Jinghuai bent down and gently squeezed the little tuft of hair on Nuannuan’s head.

“Okay~” Nuannuan swayed her little tuft and said.

The three of them sat on the carpet in a proper manner and began assembling. At first, the two of them chatted and laughed with Nuannuan. As they got into it, they started arguing across the space.

In the end, neither of them was convinced and they started silently competing to see who could build it faster and better. Nuannuan blinked her eyes, sitting in the middle, a little bewildered.

Seeing that Fourth Uncle and Little Uncle were completely absorbed in their own worlds, Nuannuan put down the building blocks in her hands and went to find Ye Jinghuai.

At this moment, Ye Jinghuai was leaning on the sofa, contemplating the email content. He didn’t pay much attention when he saw Nuannuan coming out of his peripheral vision, assuming she was tired of playing. He casually pulled her into his arms and held her.

Nuannuan felt a bit bored as all three men were occupied and ignoring her.

She tentatively crawled up from Ye Jinghuai’s arm, straddled his neck with her legs, and sat on his shoulders, placing her chin on top of his head, blinking her eyes and zoning out.

Ye Jinghuai, while looking at the computer, instinctively reached out to steady Nuannuan on his neck.

“LOL, those two big kids are really something! They started assembling and then completely forgot about Nuannuan.”

“To be honest, they are assembling quite quickly. My friend bought one, and after a month, they haven’t even built the frame.”

“Is this thing so captivating? I’ve been watching the live stream, and Ye Jingzhi has been the most eager to get close to Nuannuan. And now [laughing and crying].”

“They’ve both forgotten their original intention.”

“I think Director Ye truly dotes on Nuannuan! They are both busy with work. Look, Nuannuan can act like a tyrant on people’s heads, but then look at Chen Yi, who just brings a cup of tea and gets scolded.”

“This is the difference between true love and fake affection! Who can’t see it!”

“Ah~ When Nuannuan rested her chin on him, I felt the air was filled with affection.”
