Chapter 80
The end of the year is fast approaching.
For most celebrities, especially those at the height of their popularity, the Lunar New Year is the busiest time, with invitations from various TV stations' galas and companies' annual meetings.
Since the release of "Rebirth", Ye Cang has become a hot star, and his studio has received many invitations.
Ye Cang accepted several offers, but reserved the time during the Chinese New Year period.
After the recording of the Lunar New Year's Eve gala was completed, Ye Cang stayed at home and didn't go out.
Shen Huai gave the studio a holiday, and Ye Cang gave each of them a big red envelope. The staff were overjoyed to see the amount in the red envelope, and the whole studio was filled with a happy atmosphere.
After all the staff had left, Shen Huai finished tidying up and was about to close the door when he saw Ye Cang leaning against the door with a red envelope in his hand.
"Agent, this is for you. I specially prepared the biggest red envelope for you!"
Shen Huai smiled and shook his head: "I don't lack money."
"It's not about the money." Ye Cang walked over and forcefully stuffed the red envelope into his arms. "This is a token of my appreciation. You are the biggest contributor, so how could you be left out?"
Shen Huai had no choice but to accept the red envelope and put it in his pocket.
Ye Cang quickly said, "Aren't you even going to glance at it?"
Seeing his serious expression, Shen Huai had no choice but to take out the red envelope again: "How much did you give? Why are you being so mysterious..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the bank card fall out of the red envelope.
Ye Cang said happily, "It's the custom where I'm from that place that I have to hand over my salary to my wife. This card is all my money, and I'm giving it all to you now!"
Shen Huai: "..."
Ye Cang: "I can't refuse! You already promised me!"
Shen Huai looked at the bank card in his hand and felt it weighed a ton. In terms of wealth, his net worth was probably many times greater than what was in this card, but the significance behind it was incomparable.
What Ye Cang did was to entrust everything to him.
Shen Huai was deeply moved, and even forgot to care about Ye Cang calling him "wife".
Seeing that he was stunned, Ye Cang became even more audacious and put his arm around his shoulder: "Wife, let's go home!"
Shen Huai staggered out of the studio with him. After getting into the car, Shen Huai suddenly remembered something: "Why don't you go back first? I need to go to the airport to pick up Sister Mei."
Ye Cang was taken aback: "Sister Mei is back?"
Shen Huai nodded: "The recording ended a long time ago, but we added some more shots, so I only came back today."
Ye Cang had initially thought the two of them would finally have some time alone together, but his face fell: "Why didn't she come back a day later?"
Shen Huai: "..."
-
Upon arriving at the airport, because Ye Cang's face was now so well-known, Shen Huai simply told him to wait in the car while he went to pick up Chu Meibo.
Shen Huai and the others waited at the exit. Soon after, Chu Meibo's plane arrived, and a stream of people poured out of the exit. Although Chu Meibo was dressed plainly, she still stood out from the crowd. Many people were secretly glancing at her, and some were even taking pictures of her.
Shen Huai stepped forward, took the luggage from her, and led her to the parking lot.
Chu Meibo seemed to be in good spirits. She glanced at Shen Huai and suddenly asked, "What happened today? You seem to be in a good mood?"
Shen Huai: "..."
Mei-jie has such sharp eyesight, it can be quite a hassle sometimes.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chu Meibo said "Oh" and then asked, "What did Xiao Ye do this time?"
Shen Huai was somewhat helpless, so he could only change the subject: "Sister Mei, the New Year is coming soon, why don't you come and have a reunion dinner with us?"
Chu Meibo raised an eyebrow: "Sure, I have no problem with that, as long as Xiao Ye doesn't think I'm being too much of a third wheel."
Shen Huai: "..."
The two returned to the car. Ye Cang, who had been playing Candy Crush, immediately turned off his phone and eagerly took the luggage from Shen Huai, saying, "I'll do it, you go drive."
Chu Meibo's gaze swept over the two of them, but she just smiled and didn't say anything before sitting down in the back seat.
On the way back, the traffic was heavy, and lively and festive music was playing on both sides of the street.
Infected by the atmosphere, Ye Cang suggested that they go shopping for New Year's goods together. Chu Meibo even raised her hand in agreement. Shen Huai originally wanted to object, but with two against one, he could only helplessly follow them into the supermarket.
Shen Huai had been worried that Ye Cang would be recognized, but when he entered the supermarket, he realized that he had been worrying for nothing. The supermarket was crowded with people buying New Year's goods. The items on the shelves were swept away as if they were being looted. No one expected that a superstar was actually living there.
When the three of them finally finished buying their New Year's goods and walked out of the supermarket, they were all covered in sweat.
Back at the villa, Chu Meibo went to rest, but Ye Cang was still restless, pulling Shen Huai to put up couplets and the character "福" (fortune).
Shen Huai had already realized what was going on, but he didn't stop him.
Because Shen Huai bought all the villas in this area, only two families live there now. It doesn't seem like much normally, but it gets especially deserted during the Chinese New Year.
Ye Cang had decorated the courtyard with colorful lights early on, and when they were turned on in the evening, they added a lively atmosphere.
Chu Meibo changed into a new outfit and went out, only to find that it was already snowing.
She stood there, somewhat dazed, when she suddenly remembered a year ago. She was standing on the roof of a theater, snowflakes fluttering down her body and falling to the ground. She was all alone, gazing at the brightly lit city. That feeling of being abandoned by the whole world was not pleasant.
