My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day-Chapter 594 - 586: Everyone Has Their Weaknesses

Xie Baola clutched her head and, after thinking for dozens of seconds, she still slowly sorted out all the ingredients.

When Chen Jiayan returned home after a busy day, he saw Xie Baola’s bustling figure in the kitchen.

He thought he had seen wrongly.

"Baola?"

Hearing his voice, Xie Baola turned her head to look at him, her cheeks rosy and her face covered in a layer of sweat.

Chen Jiayan walked over to touch her face, frowning, "Are you sick again?"

Xie Baola shook her head, "No, I’m feeling very energetic right now."

Chen Jiayan saw that Xie Baola was stirring something in the wok, but the food inside was already charred.

Indeed, she had cooked the ingredients until they were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.

Crisp to the point of being inedible.

Chen Jiayan: "..."

His gaze turned to Xie Baola, quite helplessly, "What are you doing?"

Xie Baola weighed the spatula, "Can’t you see? I’m cooking. I was hoping to have dinner ready when you got off work, but I haven’t finished making supper yet, and you’re already back."

Chen Jiayan turned off the stove, took the spatula from Xie Baola’s hand, and pulled her to the living room, "Let’s not waste food."

Xie Baola: "..."

That really hit her confidence.

"People always have things they’re not good at, Baola, there’s really no need to force yourself. Besides, forcing it might hurt our stomachs."

Chen Jiayan said calmly, his mood not fluctuating in the slightest, simply stating a fact.

Xie Baola: "..."

So her effort was all for nothing?

She just wanted to move Chen Jiayan, and now it turned out like this.

"Sit down, it’s hot in the kitchen, you might get sick again."

Xie Baola wanted to say she wasn’t that fragile.

Chen Jiayan rolled up his sleeves and headed toward the kitchen.

Xie Baola watched his neatly defined forearm, that hand long and beautiful, skin fair, not looking like someone who would cook at all.

But he methodically cleaned up the mess that Xie Baola had made and started preparing the ingredients for dinner anew.

When Chen Jiayan finally served dinner, Xie Baola truly understood that cooking indeed required talent.

And she lacked that talent.

Alright then.

Xie Baola embraced this new understanding of herself.

After dinner, Xie Baola deliberately asked Chen Jiayan, "Can I take a shower tonight?"

Chen Jiayan glanced at her, "You can, but don’t take too long, just shower, no baths."

"I know, I know."

Xie Baola sat on his lap, her arms wrapped around his shoulders, "So we can shower together tonight, right?"

Chen Jiayan looked at her blooming smile, a hint of a sardonic smile on his face, "Is that why you came here?"

Xie Baola pressed her lips to his, "I missed you."

The two continued to be affectionate, as if they had forgotten the unpleasantness of last time.

The variety show starring Qiao Xi and Su Tutu had officially ended on the night of Shen Dang’s proposal.

Xie Baola gave them some time to rest.

After all, Boss Shen had just successfully proposed.

It wouldn’t be good to separate them right away.

Choosing an auspicious day, the movie "Twin Sisters" celebrated its launching ceremony on a bright and sunny day.

On the day of the ceremony.

Xie Baola led the directing team, as well as the entire cast, into the launching ceremony.

After the ceremony, Xie Baola specially purchased a trending topic on Weibo to promote the film.

#TwinSistersLaunchingCeremony#

The verified official Weibo account with the blue V posted a tweet with the hashtag.

[Twin Sisters Official: #TwinSistersLaunchingCeremony# Wishing everything goes smoothly and joyfully @QiaoXiV @SuTutuV @ChenXu]

Aside from mentioning the three main leads, they also tagged other actors with significant parts in the drama.

It was quite a lively occasion.

At a glance, aside from Chen Xu, the rest were well-known names within the industry, actors with talent.

Original novel fans, casual fans, non-fans, including the fans of Qiao Xi and Su Tutu, all reacted to the news.

[I recognize Qiao Xi, Su Tutu, and the other actors, but who is Chen Xu?]

Netizens expressed genuine confusion.

Checking Chen Xu’s Weibo revealed only the retweet of the official account’s post, without a single personal message.

This made it impossible for gossip journalists to dig up information about Chen Xu.

Moreover, when Xie Baola’s team released photos of the launching ceremony, they pixelated Chen Xu’s face.

Seeing this, netizens couldn’t help but tease.

[Is Chen Xu the male lead? Why not let the male lead show his face? Is it because you know he’s not a match for Goddess Qiao and Queen Su, hence the mosaic? What’s the plan, will the movie only be shot and not released? I really didn’t expect this—the director dared to be unconventional, choosing an unknown male lead to pair with Qiao Xi and Su Tutu. Hilarious, this movie will flop!]

[The comment above is lengthy, but you have a point!]

[The male lead is either too ugly or too handsome, thus not daring to show his face now. After all, he’s paired with Qiao Xi and Su Tutu. The director couldn’t find someone from within the industry, so they had to look for someone we don’t know.]

[I haven’t seen the male lead’s face yet, so I’ll withhold judgment. The movie hasn’t been shot, so I won’t criticize yet.]

[I’m a fan of the original novel. I just hope the film adaptation isn’t too horrible.]

[As a fan of the original, I can’t understand why a wealthy author would sell off the copyright. "Twin Sisters" is just a novel. Now they want to adapt it, and honestly, I’m not looking forward to it.]

[IP dramas are flopping one after another these days.]

[This director is also unheard of, combine that with an unknown male lead, oh no! Expect a flop for sure.]

[A flop to the extent of making no splash is unlikely, after all, Qiao Xi and Su Tutu have quite a few fans, there are fans willing to pay. /doge]

[I’m not a fan of the original or the actors, but I still really appreciate the acting skills of Qiao Xi and Su Tutu. I believe in them!]

[Seeing the casting, for the first time, I, as a fan of the original, am looking forward to an adapted drama.]

Netizens had various opinions.

There was both good and bad.

But no matter what the netizens said about Chen Xu, Xie Baola didn’t reveal any of his information.

During this tumultuous period, Chi Yang, the author of "Twin Sisters," forwarded the official post of Twin Sisters.

[@ChiYang: When Director Xie was buying the rights from me, we had many conversations. Director Xie is a very charismatic leader. Plus, Qiao Xi and Su Tutu are actresses I really admire. I feel honored that they are playing the leads. //TwinSistersOfficial: #TwinSistersLaunchingCeremony# Wishing everything goes smoothly and joyfully @QiaoXiV @SuTutuV @ChenXu]

[Author, I’ve always loved your novel.]

[Author, I trust your judgment.]

[With the author’s word, I feel reassured about the film adaptation. No one wants to see the characters ruined.]

[Heh, making this author sound so noble, isn’t it just about needing money?]
