"Do you think people are like you, wanting to hide a wife away?" Zhao He's wife, who couldn't possibly be his long-time partner, lifted her chin and struck a proud pose, saying, "If it weren't for me being so famous, you'd have hidden me away. Otherwise, I'd have turned into a nobody and no one would know of my existence."
"Hehehehe... Honey, can't you give me a break? I might think about it, but I don't have the guts." Zhao He looked like a "wife's loyal follower" with his demeanor shouting, "You're the boss, I'm scared."
"Oh, you dare think about it?" Liu Yujiao said with a dominating stance, hand on her waist.
"555~ I wouldn't dare!" Zhao He looked like a bullied housewife.
"That's more like it,"
It's no wonder they are called the "viral couple" by the nation. In no time at all, they gathered all the attention on themselves, exuding absolute star power wherever they went.
To be honest, Zhao He and Liu Yujiao aren't hot enough in movies, but their talent for variety shows is undeniable, making every show lively and extremely fun.
No wonder the show "Honey, Let's Get Married" wanted to invite them. Although Jiang Nuo is a top superstar, his newly announced marriage has fans reacting unpredictably, making it a double-edged sword—used well, it thrives; used poorly, it could lead to public backlash.
Yet, with Zhao He and Liu Yujiao, they can't do any worse.
As for Jiang He and Tao Xingni, they were simply filler for the show. Since the show is produced by Jiang Nuo's company, as long as it's not necessary, the company plans to keep him.
Of course, these arrangements are made by the higher-ups, not really known by the people below. Maybe the show's director has guessed something, but would he talk about it?
This couple's appearance always captivated Mu Qiuniang's gaze intently.
Jiang Nuo was somewhat surprised that his wife, who usually didn't like the crowds, seemed intrigued.
"What, do you like them?" Given that his wife wasn't very talkative, Jiang Nuo had long learned to read the meanings in her gaze through numerous attempts.
He whispered in Mu Qiuniang's ear.
Mu Qiuniang hesitated a bit and nodded.
Because of her nod, Jiang Nuo became more enthusiastic towards this couple than towards Jiang He and Tao Xingni. He didn't need to lower his status to please them, he just needed to start a conversation, and it would suffice.
Jiang Nuo extended an olive branch, and Zhao He and Liu Yujiao eagerly accepted it, enthusiastically but not annoyingly engaging in conversation.
Zhao He gushed about their experiences after getting off the plane, saying they couldn't speak French and had a hard time communicating as nobody understood them.
Sigh... What can you do? Both husband and wife can only speak Huaxia.
By sheer luck, they later met a Chinese person and, with his help, managed to get a car. They didn't know how long they would have waited otherwise.
Zhao He said, "We were so lucky. If it weren't for meeting that person, I think we wouldn't have gotten to the hotel even when night fell."
Can Jiang Nuo say that he directly ran into his fan, a fan so enthusiastic they drove him there?
Forget it, he decided not to spoil their moment.
This "viral couple" really knew how to maintain a good rapport, and soon even Jiang Nuo, who felt indifferent, thought: These two are quite good, they could be friends.
The last celebrity couple arrived fashionably late. Similar to Jiang Nuo's, their characteristic feature was also "older wife, younger husband" (showing how thoughtful Jiang Nuo's company was, considering even that).
The wife, Liu Qingqing, was a TV drama lead actress. Although nearing 40, she was well-maintained, showing almost no signs of aging and still looking in her twenties. You couldn't tell she was over ten years older than her husband.
Yes, that's right. Liu Qingqing's husband is similar in age to Jiang Nuo, 26, also an actor.
But unlike Jiang Nuo, who entered acting halfway and became famous young, Zhuo Yihang graduated from an official film school, though his path to stardom was rocky.
He started acting in TV dramas during university, but only got minor roles with a line or two. Before meeting Liu Qingqing, he hadn't even played a slightly more significant supporting role. Later, thanks to Liu Qingqing, he finally got an opportunity.
In the end, he starred as her on-screen partner, which gained him instant fame.
Some say he leveraged Liu Qingqing to rise. They claim if it weren't for fame, he wouldn't be with an "older woman."
What the real story is, only Zhuo Yihang knows.
"No way, are we the last ones here?" Being young, Zhuo Yihang naturally seemed lively. Seeing the three couples already present, he immediately guessed the outcome.
For the show's effect, he exclaimed cooperatively.
"Oh no, we're saying goodbye to our luxury suite and gourmet food!" Liu Qingqing expressed with disappointment.
In contrast to Zhao He and Liu Yujiao, brimming with variety show talent, Liu Qingqing and her husband appeared much steadier.
They greeted everyone, offering handshakes and hugs.
"Haha, now it's your turn to be last place, congratulations!" Zhao He mocked playfully.
Liu Yujiao expressed sympathy, "Poor you! Wonder if the show will let you sleep on the streets."
"No way?" Zhuo Yihang said, "Is the show that broke?"
"Yes, that's exactly how broke our show is," a male voice boomed among them.
"Director, really?" Apparently, besides Jiang Nuo and his wife, the others had seen him before.
Zhuo Yihang whined, hoping to garner sympathy, "You see, we've been traveling all day, and it's already dark outside. How about rewarding us with a clean and comfy room."
"Director..." Liu Qingqing also put on a pitiful face.
"Alright, I believe everyone knows our mysterious guest, so I'll skip the introduction. It's late, so let's wrap this up quickly so everyone can rest early."
As he spoke, the director pulled out four photos of hotel rooms: a room with a king-size bed, a room with a massage bath, a room with a balcony view, and a room with an outdoor swimming pool.
"I now have four photos of hotel rooms. The four couples will choose their desired room in order of arrival at the hotel," the director announced, "starting with the Jiang He couple."
Jiang He and Tao Xingni stood up.
Looking at the four hotel room photos in the director's hand, Tao Xingni seemed a bit conflicted: "I want the massage bath, but I also want to swim, what should I do?"
She looked to Jiang He for help.
