Chapter 77

Shen Mingyou hit Jiang Chen hard, right on the cheekbone below his left eye.

After the punch, Jiang Chen felt a burning pain on his left cheek.

He covered his face and looked at Shen Mingyou intently.

“…” Shen Mingyou finally came to her senses: “Why did you come back suddenly?!” She was so scared she thought there was a thief.

“I finished my work early, so I came back early.” Jiang Chen lowered his hand from his face. Shen Mingyou noticed that his cheek didn’t seem swollen, but she knew she hit him hard.

“Does it hurt?” Shen Mingyou asked, pointing to his face.

“It hurts.” Jiang Chen felt it was unfair to get punched, but as a husband, he couldn’t retaliate. He couldn’t afford such a huge loss!

“Help me rub it.” Jiang Chen said, then suddenly leaned forward, placing his hands on the dressing table behind Shen Mingyou and pressing her back.

“…” Shen Mingyou was forced to step back quickly by Jiang Chen’s sudden action. She accidentally knocked over the stool, creating a loud noise in the room.

[Wow, the exciting scene is finally here!]

[I don’t know how Mr. Jiang wants his wife to rub him, hahaha!]

[It hurts so much. My wife, help me rub it. Hahaha, Mr. Jiang is clearly just acting spoiled.]

[Hahaha, there’s nothing wrong with saying “help me rub it.” If my wife hits me, she should be responsible.]

[Ahhh, Mr. Jiang has finally overpowered Sister Youzi. The next step will definitely be a kiss. Please hurry up, I want to see!]

By the time Shen Mingyou steadied herself, Jiang Chen’s face was already close to hers, and he was about to kiss her.

“…” Realizing what Jiang Chen was about to do, Shen Mingyou quickly said, “There’s a camera behind me; I’m live streaming!”

Everything happened in an instant—from Jiang Chen being hit to Shen Mingyou being pinned down. Shen Mingyou barely had time to mention the live broadcast before Jiang Chen was on top of her.

Jiang Chen looked stunned for a moment. After understanding Shen Mingyou’s words, he glanced at the mobile phone next to the dressing table. The comment section was flooded with screams of “Ahhhhh.”

Jiang Chen: “…”

[Ahhhh, Mr. Jiang saw it.]

[Ahhh, don’t beg me to come down!]

“Let me go immediately.” Shen Mingyou pushed Jiang Chen. The entire internet saw her hit Jiang Chen and then get pinned down.

Jiang Chen didn’t let go. He frowned, dissatisfied with the situation. He reached over, grabbed the phone, and slammed it onto the dressing table. The live broadcast room went completely dark.

Thinking that their private moment was being broadcast, Jiang Chen turned the phone upside down and placed a heavy iron box on top of it, finally silencing the broadcast.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s swift actions, Shen Mingyou tried to speak, but he interrupted her with a passionate kiss, silencing her words.

In the darkened live broadcast room, nothing was visible or audible, but the comment section went wild—

[Ahhhh, Mr. Jiang, this is cheating! Is there anything we can’t see? Hurry up and lift the camera, or I’ll file a complaint!]

[Oh my god! Not only can I not see anything, but it’s also completely silent. I bet Mr. Jiang just did something he didn’t want us to see!]

[Humph, covering it up won’t help. Everyone knows Mr. Jiang was beaten by his wife now.]

[Ahhh, I bet Mr. Jiang is pressing Sister Youzi down and kissing her hard. Hahaha, if I’m wrong, I’ll do a live keyboard eating show!!]

[Wow, why can’t I see such a famous scene!]

[It’s been two minutes, and they still haven’t shown us?! Don’t these couples have a guilty conscience?]

[Still kissing, still kissing! It’s been three minutes, how long will it last?!]

[Don’t rush me. Let President Jiang kiss a little longer. Otherwise, this punch would have been in vain, hahahahahaha…]

…

As soon as Shen Mingyou started her live broadcast, enthusiastic netizens and fans quickly posted about it online. The topic #Shen Mingyou Live Broadcast# soared to the hot searches.

Before Shen Mingyou’s broadcast, another popular actress, Gu Aifei, had started her live broadcast half an hour earlier. She had invited two well-known friends, making her stream very popular. The topic #Gu Aifei Live Broadcast# quickly rose in the hot searches. By ten o’clock, Gu Aifei’s live broadcast had over 20 million viewers, reaching a peak.

However, at about ten o’clock, several hot search topics surged rapidly, pushing #Gu Aifei Live Broadcast# down to fourth place.

The top three hot searches were now related to Shen Mingyou:

#Shen Mingyou beats her husband live#

#Mr. Jiang was beaten by his wife#

#What are the Chenyou couple doing#

Confused netizens clicked on these topics to discover that Shen Mingyou had beaten her husband live. They rushed to her live broadcast room to watch.

On the other hand, Gu Aifei was sharing interesting stories from the TV program “Cross-border Elite” during her live stream. She saw her viewership hit 15 million and felt relieved.

Gu Aifei had no plans for live streaming tonight. Her new drama promotion was enough, so she wasn’t worried about Shen Mingyou’s live broadcast.

Gu Aifei believed her workplace drama “Cross-border Elite” was superior to Shen Mingyou’s idol drama “Hello President,” and she was confident her acting would win.

However, Gu Aifei’s agency boss, Geng Siqi, was worried. Xingyao Media, which managed Gu Aifei, was facing problems. Recent dramas had issues, and the company was in a financial crisis, with several artists leaving. Geng Siqi was in a state of panic.

“Crossover Elite” is Xingyao Media’s last major investment project. Geng Siqi sees it as crucial; if it succeeds, it might resolve Xingyao Media’s urgent issues.

Geng Siqi knows that Shen Mingyou’s husband, Jiang Chen, has been targeting Xingyao Media. Since Jiang Chen has caused significant trouble, reconciliation is impossible. Now, Shen Mingyou’s new project, “Hello President”, conflicts with the release date of “Crossover Elite”. Geng Siqi hopes that “Crossover Elite” will outperform “Hello President” to vent his frustration.

When Geng Siqi learned that Shen Mingyou would be live streaming tonight, he quickly arranged a live broadcast for Gu Aifei as well, hoping she could attract Shen Mingyou’s audience and minimize her viewership.

Gu Aifei has had a good working relationship with Xingyao Media and signed her contract with them after seeing potential in Geng Siqi. However, with Xingyao Media facing a crisis and Geng Siqi possibly losing his position, Gu Aifei plans to terminate her contract as soon as “Crossover Elite” airs.

Although Gu Aifei was annoyed by the unannounced live broadcast arrangement, she agreed to participate and planned to give it her best effort. 

Gu Aifei felt confident about the live broadcast. After her successful appearance on a popular variety show following “Super Mom”—where she gained significant popularity—she was not worried about tonight’s event.

However, Gu Aifei noticed that her live stream’s viewer count started to drop as people flocked to Shen Mingyou’s live broadcast. 

In Shen Mingyou’s stream, viewers thought they had witnessed a dramatic scene between Shen Mingyou and Jiang Chen, which led many to switch to Shen Mingyou’s stream.

The comments in Shen Mingyou’s live chat speculated that she had physically confronted Jiang Chen. 

[In Shen Mingyou’s live broadcast room next door, Shen Mingyou seems to have beaten up her husband. Everyone, go and watch! ]

[What? Is it a real beating or a fake one? Isn’t this just a gimmick?]

[It was a real beating. That punch was deadly. I wonder if the couple will start fighting. Go eat melons quickly!]
