Chapter 19 . 4 : Her Initiative
She had planned to hang up the phone directly after asking for the favor, but his reply made her pause for a moment . “Chen Shu… The drama I’m cast on is now showing . Would you like to watch it with me?”
Ye Sui and Chen Shu were living under the same roof . She felt necessary to try and get along with her husband . If he didn’t agree it was also fine with her, she was just asking, anyway .
“I will go home . ” Chen Shu meant that he’d go home to watch it with her .
“Okay, I’ll wait for you . ”
–
Since Chen Shu wasn’t home yet, a few ghosts were lurking in the corners of the house . Even if there were only a few of them Ye Sui was still terrified . All she could do was use her acting skills to maintain a poker face and pretend that she didn’t see them .
For the first time since she moved in Ye Sui entered her husband’s study . Everything was very neatly arranged, without any clutter . She followed his instructions and found the computer on the bottom drawer . The color… wasn’t quite what she had expected .
To her astonishment, the computer was pink . Ye Sui stared at it some more . It completely deviated from the style of the rest of the study . She had already forgotten Chen Shu’s words stating that it had been bought for her .
Ye Sui placed the computer on the table, pulled the small stool from the corner of the room closer to the table and sat down .
Just as she opened the official drama website, Chen Shu came in . She gestured for him to hurry up . “Come in, hurry . ” Chen Shu sat down beside her and quietly watched as Ye Sui set up the video .
She had only a few scenes and very few shots, but her acting was so good . Every second she was in front of the camera was excellent .
During the movie, neither Chen Shu nor Ye Sui spoke a word, but the atmosphere between them wasn’t embarrassed at all . They had been together for quite a while, Ye Sui was already used to Chen Shu’s personality .

The music became softer and the characters for 《Crown Prince》 appeared on the screen, signaling the beginning of the movie . After it ended, Chen Shu surprised his wife by giving her his opinion . She was not prepared to receive an evaluation from him, she only wished to close the webpage .
“You did a good job . ” Chen Shu paused for a moment before continuing . “Much better than the heroine . ” Although his tone was bland, the content of his comment was especially satisfying to Ye Sui’s ear .
She knew that he knew the heroine Chang Ying was Chen Xiu’s girlfriend . But he didn’t even remember her name and directly gave Chang Ying a codename .
His praise made her speechless . Surely she didn’t hear it wrong? In her eyes, Chen Shu was a person who was clueless about amorous feelings . More often than not, whatever he said sounded unpleasant . She didn’t think she’d hear him praise anything, much less her .
Chen Shu stopped talking and just stared at his strange wife who lived under the same roof as him . Since he was in the mood to socialize, Ye Sui would humor him . “You certainly didn’t pay attention to the rumors online . Some time ago, I was targeted by netizens . Although I didn’t mind it very much, the crew helped me clarify everything . ”
Ye Sui paused for a moment as if reminiscing . “Moreover, this kind of thing has happened to me more than once . The production team played it dumb and never helped me before, but they finally did their job this time . ”
Chen Shu did not speak, he only listened to Ye Sui’s explanation . As he listened, the corners of his mouth rose up bit by bit . Because Huarui Company had pressured them, the cast had to tell the truth . Once the actors behaved like they were supposed to, Ye Sui was very happy .

While she spoke, her eyes shone brightly . It seemed like she truly did not let those setbacks affect her .
Chen Shu felt that his wife was fairly easy to satisfy . For Chen Shu, exerting a little pressure on the crew through Huarui Company took little effort, but it made his wife happy . He wondered if she ever cared about the injustice she suffered . Once Chen Shu thought of it, his brow wrinkled and he adopted a thoughtful expression .
Ye Sui had mentioned the crew’s change of attitude as a joke . She had no idea that the reason for the change was the order of the president of Huarui . If anyone from the crew were present at that moment, they’d want to cover Ye Sui’s mouth to stop her from speaking badly of them in front of her husband .
Everyone knew that pillow talk was the most useful .
Moreover, the pillow talk was so tight that she didn’t say a word about the cast’s shortcomings . In one sentence, it is not mentioned that the crew was not good, but Chen Shu wrote it down .
Seeing that there was no topic to talk about, Ye Sui pulled the laptop to the middle of the table and, pausing the movie at a scene . She told Chen Shu about the acting process, “This scene was extremely difficult to shoot . I cried for more than an hour until the director was satisfied . My eyes got swollen from so much crying . ”
Suddenly, Ye Sui said that her mouth was dry, and Chen Shu bent down and opened the drawer next to him . She was curious but didn’t talk anymore, lest he reconsidered his actions . Her husband took out a bottle from the drawer . It was a beverage that Ye Sui had drunk before, soda with white peach flavor .

Chen Shu helped her open the lid of the bottle then placed it in front of Ye Sui . “Drink . ”
Flattered that he’d remembered her favorite flavor, Ye Sui drank eagerly . The strong white peach taste and sweetness eased her thirst in a moment . Her mood instantly improved . “This is delicious…” She wanted to say thank you, but her husband chose that moment to say something inappropriate .
“I don’t like this drink . I bought it for you . ”
Ye Sui reluctantly swallowed the mouthful of peach soda she had just drunk . Suddenly, it didn’t seem so tasty . The sweetness was gone and the soda bubbles made her nose ache . Thank you very much for such a generous gift of the drink you don’t like to drink .
Truly, she shouldn’t have expected anything less from Chen Shu . He still didn’t understand romance even one bit .
