Chapter 70: A Small Official Announcement on Livestream
On the day before the Lunar New Year, the official Weibo of SILENCE released the silhouette of their new perfume and its spokesperson, immediately sparking heated discussion in the fashion and entertainment circles.
Firstly, every new product SILENCE released was of a level that made people applaud. Their perfumes, in particular, were the best, being the leaders of the entire industry.
Their company specialized in research and exploration. They might only release one new perfume in a year or even several years, but without a doubt, whenever a new product made its debut, it would definitely reach a level that amazed everyone.
This was their third perfume released after a two-year gap. The previous Paradise and Summer series were still bestsellers and remained timeless.
With the launch of the Moonlight series and the official announcement of a mysterious spokesperson, the topic of the “Moonlight Spokesperson” shot straight to the trending searches that night. Netizensâ discussions about this mysterious spokesperson were in full swing, with guesses for everyone.
Ling Yu skillfully used various marketing accounts and fan operations to focus many eyes on several currently popular stars in the entertainment industry, one of whom was Su Tang.
Over the past two days, Jiang Cha and Hu Baobao had used Su Tangâs Weibo to post a nine-square grid of a daily life series, with several photos showing Su Tangâs front and side profile.
One of them was the one Ye Chiyu had taken of Su Tang. He was sitting in front of a pile of gifts, wearing a comfortable fuzzy rabbit loungewear set, smiling very sweetly at the Alpha behind the lens. His exquisite features, even under the camera, were still soul-stirring, looking as beautiful as a painting.
This kind of high-quality yet lifelike photo immediately made fans exclaimâ [The kid is simply too good-looking. Heâs milky, sweet, and handsome. Begging for more updates!]
Su Tang, sitting in the car on the way to the old family mansion, was scrolling through the various “rainbow farts” from his fans, humming a little tune proudly.
Today was New Year’s Eve, the annual day for bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.
In the city center, the trees were decorated with red lanterns. Every household was out buying New Year’s goods. Supermarkets and wet markets were crowded every day, and the streets and alleys were filled with festive songs full of the New Year spirit. It was extremely lively.
Ye Chiyu was driving personally today. Su Bing had been pestered by Su Tang at her houseâhe had used the “cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang himself” method to beg her to spend the New Year togetherâand was currently sitting in the back seat with her dear brother.
“What are you looking at, little brat? You look so happy.”
Su Bing raised her foot and gave Su Tang a light kick.
“Sister,” said Su Tang, who had been bullied by Su Bing since he was little and didn’t mind her heartless kick at all. He held his phone out to Su Bing like he was presenting a treasure. “Look at these comments under my Weibo. The fans are so talented; their ‘rainbow farts’ don’t even repeat, haha!”
Su Bing took Su Tangâs phone and scrolled through it for a while, nodding in agreement. Then, she thought about how these people were praising the brother she had watched grow up, and it suddenly felt a bit unreal.
Not long ago, her brother was just an ordinary university student who wouldn’t receive this much attention, nor would he have such a prestigious Alpha husband.
When Ye Chiyu first came to her door saying he wanted to marry Su Tang, Su Bingâs first reaction was that this man was joking.
She didn’t believe that an Alpha from such a family background would so easily marry her brother just because he marked him due to “love at first sight.” Su Bing firmly believed in the concept of “matching social status.”
The Su family and the Ye family were not on the same level at all. Their educational backgrounds and family environments were different. She was afraid her silly brother would be bullied.
But the Alpha had produced a very formal pre-nuptial agreement on the spot. If Ye Chiyu took any step beyond his marriage with Su Tang after they were wed, all of Ye Chiyuâs personal assets would be divided and put under Su Tangâs name, and Su Tang would have the sole authority to decide the fate of their relationship.
This was a very sincere agreement. Moreover, she wasn’t stupid. She had also caught the love and longing in Ye Chiyuâs expression toward Su Tang. It was precisely because of this that Su Bing dared to feel at ease handing her ignorant little brat over to a complete stranger Alpha.
Now, seeing the harmonious and warm way Su Tang and Ye Chiyu were together, although Su Bing didn’t say anything on the surface, she was very happy for her brother in her heart.
“Kid, don’t let a little fame go to your head. There are too many celebrities these days who get cancelled at the drop of a hat.”
Su Bing threw the phone back to her brother, feeling a bit bored, and gave him a reminder.
“Oh, I know…”
Su Tang honestly opened a bottle of her favorite fruit juice for Su Bing and held it out to her, smiling pleasingly. “Sister, have a sip?”
Su Bing raised her chin slightly. Su Tang immediately understood and inserted a straw, and only then did Su Bing take it.
“By the way, if you have nothing to do these next few days, sign a few autographs for me. My company has a team-building event after the Lantern Festival, and Iâll give them out as prizes to the young girls at the office.”
Most of the people in the company had seen Su Tang coming to bring her lunch and other things, so she couldn’t hide it even if she wanted to. She simply and grandly announced that Su Tang had achieved some success in acting recently and hoped everyone would support her brother, sending a bunch of “Red Envelopes” in the company group chat.
Since his sister had given the order, Su Tang immediately nodded.
“Okay, I promise to complete the task!”
The siblings played and bickered in the back seat all the way. Ye Chiyu concentrated on being a dedicated driver, and they finally arrived at the Ye familyâs old mansion.
Because it was the Lunar New Year, most of the servants had been given time off to go home. The chefs in the kitchen had prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner for the Ye family before leaving. Only the old butler, who lived alone, remained at the Ye house, having been invited by Wen Fanxing and his husband to spend the New Year together.
It was a rare occasion for the whole family to gather. Wen Fanxing and Ye Sheng sat in the living room playing chess, the two Ye brothers and the Su siblings were responsible for heating the dishes and washing the fruit, and the old butler was in charge of directing the table setting. Everyone had their own role.
They arrived near dusk. After more than an hour of busy work from the group, a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner was completed.
Su Tang hugged and petted the cat, Wanzi, for a good while, giving the little kitty an extra-rich New Yearâs limited edition freeze-dried cat food before washing his hands to sit down for dinner.
Thanks to the warm atmosphere of the Ye family, Su Bing and Su Tang felt very much at ease throughout the meal. They chatted and laughed while eating, and finally raised their glasses together to celebrate their first New Year’s Eve spent together.
After dinner came the gift exchange. Su Tang gave the carefully prepared gifts to everyone present and reminded them not to open them until tomorrow, making it very mysterious.
Wen Fanxing also kept a secret, saying there would be a big surprise for Su Tang after the New Year, which immediately made Su Tangâs anticipation skyrocket as he shook his Ye Xianshengâs arm in excitement.
Ye Sheng was very direct, giving Su Tang and Su Bing a set of keys eachâone set for a new house and one for a new car for each of themâstating that it was considered part of the Ye family’s small “bride price,” leaving the siblings with no reason to refuse.
Throughout the evening, Su Tang received numerous gifts and was surrounded by everyone’s love. The smile on the little Omega’s face didn’t stop all night.
Ye Chiyu kept an eye on the time for his little fellow and leaned down to remind the little Omega, who was playing a game in a duo with Wen Lang.
“Tangtang, itâs only ten minutes until nine o’clock.”
Jiang Cha had previously told Su Tang to do a half-hour livestream for the fans on New Year’s Eve as a holiday benefit. He had also had Hu Baobao teach him how to use the livestreaming software. The agreed-upon time with the fans was nine o’clock.
Su Bing didn’t intend to stay overnight at the Ye house and left first. The rest of the family chatted in the living room while eating some after-dinner fruit, watching the Spring Festival Gala and drinking tea.
Su Tang nodded, handed his tablet with a grin to Ye Shengâwho had been watching him play for a long timeâtold his father-in-law to do his best, and said goodbye to Wen Fanxing before pulling Ye Chiyu upstairs.
“Ye Xiansheng, which room in the house is best for livestreaming?” Su Tang asked Ye Chiyu, holding the phone tripod he was about to use.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Chiyu held Su Tangâs hand and led him upstairs. “Just go to my study.”
Fortunately, Ye Chiyu had been present when Hu Baobao taught Su Tang. With the Alpha’s help, Su Tang was soon ready.
Su Tang set up the phone on the desk and adjusted the camera. Once everything was confirmed, the Alpha voluntarily sat on the sofa diagonally across from the deskâout of the camera’s viewâand picked up a magazine to start reading.
From Su Tangâs perspective, the Alphaâs perfect side profile looked even more tempting under the soft light. The little “pervert” secretly licked his lips.
It was exactly nine o’clock. Su Tang took a sip of water and formally pressed the start button. His beautiful, clean little face leaned toward the phone. Looking at the frantically scrolling comments, he greeted the fans somewhat awkwardly.
“Hello everyone, good evening! Have you all eaten your New Year’s Eve dinner? Can you see me?”
The fans’ comments immediately interacted, saying they could see him and laughing at how Su Tang was so close his face was almost pressed against the camera, calling him a “clumsy beauty.”
Su Tang, who had made a small fool of himself, rubbed his head in embarrassment. His little face became visibly red due to shyness, even his ears turned pink. His cute and bashful appearance made the fans watching the livestream practically drool.
There was no specific theme for the livestream tonight. Su Tang simply lay on the desk, chatting with everyone while looking at the comments. If he saw interesting questions, he would answer them.
[Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang, are you preparing to film your next project?]
Su Tang blinked and replied, “Yes, I am. Iâm already preparing. Iâll probably join the set after the New Year.”
[Xiao Tang, do you know that you are incredibly, incomparably, explosively cute??]
“Um,” Su Tang held his forehead and stuck out his tongue playfully. “Actually, I hope youâll call me handsome instead.”
The fans’ comments immediately erupted in laughter. Like they were pampering a child, they started praising him as handsome, making Su Tangâs eyes crinkle into two little crescents.
[Does Xiao Tang have an Alpha?]
Su Tang saw many people asking this question. Recalling that Jiang Cha said he was taking the acting route and didn’t need to be too cagey about his private relationships, and with Ling Yu backing him, he glanced in Ye Xiansheng’s direction before smiling at the camera.
“So everyone is this curious. Do you all hope I have one or not?”
The generous fans said as long as the Alpha was handsome, he could have one! Sincerely!
Su Tang looked up. His Ye Xiansheng had already put down the magazine and walked over to him. He looked up and gave the Alpha a sweet smile, like a red-lipped, white-toothed little elf, leaving the fans watching the livestream stunned.
“Actually, I do have an Alpha I like very much.”
Translator’s Note: “Rainbow farts” (彊čšĺą – cÇi hĂłng pĂŹ) is Chinese slang for excessive or flowery praise from fans. Our Tangtang is so brave for announcing his relationship! And “Xiao Tang” is a cute way of saying “Little Tang.” Who wouldn’t want to spoil such a sweet Omega?
