They Finally Found Out Who I Married

Xie Zhaozhou’s voice was low and cold, but carried a lazy tone.

Even when he spoke normally, it could easily sound suggestive.

Let alone Ning Shixue didn’t think this was anything good.

As soon as he realized, he nearly tripped over his own feet.
The tips of his pale ears suddenly burned.
He regretted it now.
He shouldn’t have meddled at all.

With a mouth like Xie Zhaozhou’s…

If anyone committed suicide, Xie Zhaozhou wouldn’t be the one.

Go to sleep,
Xie Zhaozhou waved him away, a dismissive gesture with the back of his hand.

He didn’t need to be told twice.
Ning Shixue didn’t want to stay either.

He turned and went downstairs, boiled himself a dozen or so dumplings, ate them, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

The program team would pick them up in the evening.
Having stayed up until 3:30 AM, Ning Shixue slept straight through until noon the next day.
When he opened his eyes, a little bun face was right there.

Xie Yaoyao was wearing a little dinosaur onesie, lying beside his pillow, his whole little being puffed up with anger.

His eyes looked a bit red, like he’d been crying.

What are you doing here?
Ning Shixue had just woken up, his voice soft, almost sounding gentle.

Even if it was just an illusion.

But Xie Yaoyao couldn’t help pouting.
Why did it have to be like this?
He felt there was no more aggrieved baby than him.

The old butler had followed him and quickly explained,
The little young master wanted to see the master, but the master had already left.

Xie Zhaozhou had only arrived home after 3 AM and left again around 5 or 6 AM.
Xie Yaoyao had been asleep the whole time.

But Xie Yaoyao didn’t stay upset for long.
Ning Shixue was awake now, someone to play with him, so he forgot all about Big Daddy.

Let’s eat first,
Ning Shixue said.

Having spent a few days on the variety show, Xie Yaoyao didn’t need to be fed anymore.
He gripped his little spoon and ate in big mouthfuls.

But he still remembered searching for Ning Shixue all day yesterday.
After eating, he planted his chubby hands on his waist and commanded Ning Shixue,
You have to play hide-and-seek with me!

Hmph. He would hide too, make the bad stepdad unable to find him.

Ning Shixue was about to refuse, but before he could speak, Xie Yaoyao had already pattered away.
He turned back to remind him,
You not allowed, peek oh.

‘I’m not going to look for you,’
Ning Shixue told him.

With that, he went downstairs.
The kitchen even had a little ice cream maker.
He made himself an ice cream.

When he went back up, Xie Yaoyao was no longer in the bedroom.

Ning Shixue felt a little uneasy.
A three-and-a-half-year-old might get stuck somewhere.

He decided to go to the playroom.
But as he reached the door, his eyes suddenly paused.

Xie Yaoyao had hidden himself in the stroller he’d used as a baby.
He had cleverly hidden his shoes and covered himself with a little blanket.

But the little dinosaur tail on his bottom was dangling and swaying outside the stroller.

Ning Shixue: “…”

Was it reasonable for the CEO’s kid to be this silly?

Ning Shixue didn’t expose him.
Holding his ice cream, he deliberately sighed.
I wanted to eat ice cream with Xie Yaoyao.
How come I can’t find Xie Yaoyao?

Huh?

Xie Yaoyao hid under the little blanket.
His fair, tender little fingers clutched the edge of the blanket, pouting as he waited for Ning Shixue to find him.

Then he heard ‘ice cream.’

He started drooling.
Ning Shixue continued,
Oh well, I guess I just won’t let Xie Yaoyao have any.

!!!

Xie Yaoyao couldn’t take it anymore.
His little bottom wiggled under the blanket as he struggled to climb out.

But Ning Shixue acted like he hadn’t noticed him at all.
Holding up the ice cream, he walked towards the door.

Xie Yaoyao, barefoot, ran frantically on the floor.
Finally catching up to Ning Shixue, and Ning Shixue still ignoring him, he bounced up and down like he had springs, complaining pitifully,
Baby is here!

Hm?
Ning Shixue finally looked down.
His eyelashes curved mischievously.
Oh, there you are.

Xie Yaoyao stamped his foot.

The bad stepdad was so dumb.
He only just now found him.

…

Only a few days into the variety show, despite Ning Shixue consistently slacking off, his popularity kept rising.
Most of his trending searches weren’t even bought; they were all thanks to the viewers.

The director was grinning from ear to ear, giving him more and more screen time.
Now there was no escape.
After filming started, the penalty fee multiplied tenfold.
Ning Shixue had no choice but to continue.

Still, his Weibo followers had skyrocketed by five or six million.
His reputation was much better than before.
He’d even received several variety show invitations and offers from production teams.

In the entertainment industry, everyone wanted to be famous.
Even ‘famous for being hated’ was better than no buzz at all.
At least you wouldn’t be forgotten by the capital.

Ning Shixue wasn’t interested in variety shows, but acting was okay.
After all, he had been an actor originally.

In the evening, when the program team’s car came to pick them up, he brought the script along, planning to look through it in the car.

The mountain road was bumpy.
Halfway there, his agent, Lu Li, suddenly called.

Ning Shixue couldn’t be bothered to answer.
But the other party was persistent, refusing to give up until he reached him.
He simply answered.

As soon as Lu Li opened his mouth, he was furious.
Ning Shixue, what the hell are you doing?!
Do you have a grudge against me or something?!
You finally have a chance to be famous, and you go causing me trouble again?!

Explain clearly,
Ning Shixue said, bewildered.

The company the original host had signed with was called Shengxing Entertainment, under the Xie Group.
It had produced many top stars and was a leading agency in the industry.
But he hadn’t gotten in through talent.

Three years ago, Xie Hanzhou suddenly announced he wanted to debut as a singer and also act.
The original host insisted on going with him.

Xie Hanzhou ignored him, so he begged Old Master Xie.

At that time, Old Master Xie hadn’t had his accident yet and still held power in the Xie Group.
The original host acted very well-behaved in front of the elders.
He just had to act cute a little, and Old Master Xie arranged an agent for him.

Ning Shixue’s face was genuinely good.
Lu Li was thrilled at first, thinking it was a great assignment.

He never expected to get himself a living ancestor.

He had already planned to give up on Ning Shixue completely.
This variety show was the last resource he was giving him.

Then Ning Shixue suddenly became popular.

But maybe he and Ning Shixue were just fated to clash.
He hadn’t even had a few days of peace before Ning Shixue was causing trouble again.

And you dare ask me?!
Lu Li was practically hopping mad.
Who exactly did you marry?!
Tell me clearly!

He was Ning Shixue’s agent, had to pick him up for schedules, so he knew the Xie residence address.

But Xie Zhaozhou had never shown his face, and the original host refused to tell.
He only knew Ning Shixue had married into the Xie family, not who the spouse actually was.

Ning Shixue didn’t waste any more words with him.
He went straight to Weibo to take a look.
As soon as he opened the app, it froze.

It took over a minute to load.

His name was on the trending searches, followed by a deep red ‘explosive’ symbol.
The top comment under the search was from a gossip account.

It had only been trending for a few minutes, but the comments and likes had already surpassed ten thousand.
