Chapter 89

It was already night when Shen Mingyou woke up. She had slept so well that she missed the time to pick up Nian Nian from school.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a little kid beside her bed, looking at her with big, bright eyes, blinking, and supporting his little face with his hands.

Seeing her mother awake, Nian Nian said excitedly, “Mom, you’re awake.”

Shen Mingyou hadn’t seen her daughter for a few days and missed her so much. She stood up, hugged Nian Nian in her arms, kissed her little face, and asked, “Did Nian Nian miss her mother?”

“Yes.” Nian Nian was happy at first, then a little upset. She kept rubbing her head against her mother’s neck. “Nian Nian missed me so much.”

“Mom missed Nian Nian so much too.” Shen Mingyou stroked Nian Nian’s little head. “When mom finishes this busy period, I’ll stay home and spend time with Nian Nian, okay?”

Shen Mingyou had been busy filming recently and had little time to spend with Nian Nian. After finishing the movie “Homeward Journey,” it would almost be the New Year, and she could take a break to stay at home with her.

“Really?” Nian Nian asked excitedly. “When mom’s home, she has to pick me up from school every day, and sleep with me every night. I want to sleep in mom’s arms every night…”

When Jiang Chen entered the bedroom to check if his wife was awake, he heard Nian Nian saying she wanted to be with her mother every night. Calmly, he stepped forward and took the little girl from his wife’s arms. “Wouldn’t it be nice for Dad to pick up Nian Nian from kindergarten every day?”

Nian Nian replied, “That’s good, but how can Dad and Mom be the same?”

Jiang Chen playfully tapped Nian Nian’s nose and asked, “What’s the difference between Dad and Mom?”

“Of course it’s different. Mom is a girl and Dad is a boy, so their genders are different.” Nian Nian struggled to get back into her mother’s arms. “Daddy, let go of Nian Nian. Mom and I are both sweet-smelling girls. I want to hug my sweet-smelling mom.”

Jiang Chen: “…”

Could it be that in Nian Nian’s heart, he, her father, smelled bad?

Shen Mingyou burst out laughing at Nian Nian’s innocent words. She took Nian Nian from Jiang Chen, kissed her face, and said, “My sweet Nian Nian!”

Nian Nian laughed out loud after being kissed by her mother. Seeing this, Jiang Chen copied Shen Mingyou’s move and kissed Nian Nian on the cheek. Then he turned and kissed Shen Mingyou on the corner of her mouth, smiling as he said, “Nian Nian is right. You both smell sweet.”

Shen Mingyou saw the pleased smile on Jiang Chen’s face and gave him a stern look, telling him to act properly in front of their daughter. But Jiang Chen just smiled even more when he saw her reaction.

Nian Nian tilted her little head, first looking at her mother, then at her father, and laughed along with her dad, her eyes narrowing into slits.

When the family of three went downstairs for dinner, Shen Mingyou and Jiang Chen’s phones suddenly rang at the same time.

Shen Mingyou saw that the call was from her agent, Yu Zhen. After answering, she realized something had happened online again, and it involved her husband, Jiang Chen.

“Mingyou, you once told me you were planning to divorce Jiang Chen. Is it because he’s been cheating?” Ever since Yu Zhen found out that Jiang Chen was Shen Mingyou’s husband, she couldn’t understand why Shen Mingyou wanted to divorce. From what she’d seen of Jiang Chen, he seemed like a considerate, family-oriented, loving husband.

But after seeing the video online, Yu Zhen finally understood why Shen Mingyou wanted to divorce.

Why keep an unfaithful man!

“No matter what you decide, the company and I will support you. The PR team^[1]stands for “Public Relations.” It involves managing the spread of information between an organization or individual and the public. is on standby. Just let us know what you want, and we’ll take action,” Yu Zhen said. “This issue is spreading fast online. We need to handle it quickly.”

After understanding the situation, Shen Mingyou rubbed her forehead and said, “Sister Yu, did it never cross your mind that the female college student in the video… is me?”

Shen Mingyou found it amusing. How had Yu Zhen, like the netizens, jumped to the conclusion that Jiang Chen was cheating?

“…The person in the video is you? But aren’t you filming somewhere else?” Yu Zhen asked, surprised.

Shen Mingyou replied, “I flew back this afternoon and didn’t have time to tell you.”

“But the girl in the video dresses so differently from you. You usually look mature and professional, and I’ve never seen you with short hair or acting all girly. Also, your husband was really something in that video…” Yu Zhen teased with a laugh. “You two really know how to have fun!”

“…”

Shen Mingyou’s face turned a bit red. She hadn’t expected that their intense kiss in the car this afternoon would be captured by paparazzi.

The problem was, with the way she was dressed, she was the one who would be socially embarrassed.

After Shen Mingyou ended the call, she saw Jiang Chen had also finished his.

Jiang Chen came over with a smile and said, “Your dad and Zhao Yan saw the trending topic. They called to say they’re coming to ‘settle the score’ with me.”

Shen Mingyou, feeling even more awkward, asked, “They didn’t recognize that the woman in the video was me?”

“Zhao Yan probably had an idea, but he wasn’t sure.” Jiang Chen showed her the video taken by the paparazzi. From the angle, Jiang Chen’s face was clearly visible, but her face was mostly hidden by her hair. The video was taken from far away, and it was blurry. With her outfit and hairstyle, it wasn’t easy to tell it was her.

Shen Mingyou decided to put on the same clothes from the afternoon and take a picture. Posting it online should clear up the rumors. Luckily, the skirt hadn’t been torn by Jiang Chen earlier, or she might have had to buy a new one.

After Shen Mingyou changed her clothes and took some photos, she realized that the public opinion online had shifted again. A new trending topic suddenly surged to number one, even overtaking #JiangChenCheating#.

#Shen Mingyou’s Hot Date with a Young Hunk# went viral, just like #Jiang Chen Cheating#, which held the second spot. Now, both Shen Mingyou and Jiang Chen’s names were at the top of the trending list. Tonight’s trending searches were all about them.
