Part 3
“The Landscape Journey with Kids” paused updates for five days. The audience had been looking forward to their final leg of the journey, and the official blog was full of calls for updates.
—So this time can we start broadcasting from the place where Jiang Shulu and Tang Yue live?! Will Xiao Mie call Jiang Shulu ‘Daddy’?
—Want to see some daily life of the young couple!! Now they can date openly, right!
—It really turned from a parenting show to a dating show!
—@Tang Yue when will you release a new song!!! Release it quickly!
Tang Yue hadn’t drunk much wine. He woke up not long after Jiang Shulu took him back.
He saw the call record with Tang Mian on his phone.
Jiang Shulu was working in the study. Tang Yue woke up to find him. Without knocking, he pushed the door open and called out “Ge.”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shulu was in a video conference. The scene was truly hair-raising for Tang Yue as several people in the screen frames looked up at him in unison.
Tang Yue: …
Jiang Shulu turned off the camera and reached out to Tang Yue: “You’re awake?”
It was only just past nine. Tang Yue’s face was still a bit hot. Jiang Shulu touched it, and Tang Yue closed his eyes again, nuzzling his palm.
Tang Yue: “Did I disturb you?”
Jiang Shulu: “It’s okay.”
Tang Yue: “Did you take a call from Xiao Mie and me just now?”
Jiang Shulu hummed. “Why don’t you ask Xiao Mie?”
Tang Yue: “Xiao Mie won’t tell me what you said to him.”
Jiang Shulu: “This is a secret between me and Xiao Mie.”
Tang Yue wasn’t very happy: “Can’t I know?”
Jiang Shulu: “You’ll know next week.”
Tang Yue seemed very used to being pulled onto Jiang Shulu’s lap. While holding him, Jiang Shulu asked: “We’re leaving tomorrow.”
Jiang Shulu: “Sister Yi already had someone send over the luggage you brought before.”
Tang Yue said “Oh”: “I don’t have much to pack. What about you? Do you want me to help you pack your suitcase?”
Jiang Shulu: “You?”
Tang Yue: “I’m different from before, okay! I pack all of Xiao Mie’s things.”
Jiang Shulu: “Then I’ll trouble Lord Tang Yue.”
Tang Yue: “Shall I choose the clothes you’ll wear?”
Jiang Shulu: “You chose me entirely, what’s wrong with you choosing my clothes?”
Tang Yue kissed Jiang Shulu and left.
When he closed the door and Jiang Shulu turned the camera back on, he received a group of teasing looks.
Song Chen coughed and reminded Jiang Shulu: “Boss, you didn’t mute your microphone.”
Jiang Shulu: “Couldn’t you guys mute yours?”
He retorted so naturally that Song Chen, who had been his assistant for several years, fell silent.
The others snickered one after another, not expecting to hear such a conversation between Jiang Shulu and Tang Yue.
Some people here were employees who had worked for the Jiang family for many years, some were core personnel promoted after Jiang Shulu took over, and some had resigned before Jiang Shulu broke with the Jiang family, waiting for the overseas company to be organized to fully become new members.
The part Jiang Shulu took from the Jiang family was enough to severely damage them, but he wanted far more than this.
The idea Liang Yi provided was indeed very good; perhaps he could give the entire Jiang family to Tang Yue.
It was still early. Tang Yue sent the photos taken today to Xiao Mie and clicked on the little guy’s voice message.
The five-year-old wasn’t very skilled at typing yet, and he preferred sending voice messages, which made Tang Yue miss him to death.
-Tang Mian: Daddy, will you hold concerts in the future?
-Tang Yue: I will.
-Tang Mian: Then will Daddy livestream often like those stars?
-Tang Yue: Maybe, I don’t know what to say on livestream.
Tang Mian sent a sticker of a dog shaking its butt.
The child didn’t understand Tang Yue’s specific work either. After chatting a bit, he started caring about what Tang Yue ate for dinner, expressing that he wanted to go there next time too.
Tang Yue asked Liang Yi how to reserve that place, and Liang Yi called him directly.
Tang Yue was startled and called out “Sister Yi.”
Liang Yi: “Why are you asking me about Jiang Shulu’s mother? He should have told you everything.”
Tang Yue: “I wrote a song, but I don’t know if I should release it.”
He had only been with Jiang Shulu for three days; this speed made a layman like Liang Yi feel terrified.
Liang Yi: “He definitely told you, right?”
If it were anyone else, Liang Yi would think they were hiding something, but Tang Yue was truly someone who would say anything once he opened up.
Liang Yi could imagine how hyped Jiang Shulu’s current state was. When subordinates reported project progress and mentioned Jiang Shulu’s side, it was hard to describe.
Rumors said Jiang Shulu left with nothing for love, was short-sighted, etc., but unknown to them, the man was enjoying his wife, child, and warm bed, feeling incredibly good, just waiting to close the net.
But this was good for people on the same front.
And Tang Yue was Jiang Shulu’s inexhaustible power source. For this center of the spring, doing what he liked was enough.
Tang Yue: “He did tell me, but I…”
Even though he was already with Jiang Shulu now, he still felt that such a Jiang Shulu made his heart ache terribly.
Liu Xichao’s repeated exhortations not to feel too sorry for men were simply useless with Tang Yue.
At this moment, Tang Yue suddenly understood what it meant to miss someone even when they were right in front of you.
Tang Yue: “I’m afraid doing this will make him sad again.”
In her previous life, Liang Yi had basically never played the role of this kind of agony aunt.
She was a “bad seed” in others’ eyes, devoid of human touch. Plus, she looked fierce, so basically no one would be blind enough to pour their heart out to her.
Liang Yi fell into a knowledge blind spot, not quite understanding the connection between Tang Yue releasing a song inspired by Jiang Shulu’s mother and Jiang Shulu being sad.
Jiang Xiujun, leaning on her lap, reached out his hand, and Liang Yi handed him the phone.
Jiang Xiujun: “Xiao Yue, just say it directly. If he shares even his sad side with you, why would he mind this?”
Tang Yue: “Really? I’m worried Shulu-ge will accommodate me because he doesn’t want me to be unhappy.”
Jiang Xiujun thought to himself: Just don’t accommodate him too much in bed.
Tang Yue looked really too easy to bully.
Even if Jiang Xiujun didn’t chase stars, browsing online posts due to this family relationship, he could be scared by some fans’ fantasies about Tang Yue.
But he also felt it made sense, along with some comments about Jiang Shulu.
Just judging from the state he saw at dinner today, Jiang Shulu would eat Tang Yue up without spitting out the bones.
Probably Tang Yue would still…
Jiang Xiujun suddenly realized he was acting like a mom too.
He sighed: “Really. If you can’t say whatever you want in front of the person you like, then what’s the point?”
