    Chapter 61

    There are many spring rains in March, and it rained non-stop this afternoon, and the whole city was covered in fog.

    But Lan Yuan looked at the rain outside the window and was not worried, because there was an umbrella in Hunter’s store, but she was afraid that Shen Xian would get caught in the rain.

    It was about five o’clock, and the rain hadn’t stopped yet. Lan Yuan was already planning to leave. She wanted to go home and cook first, then she could eat directly when Shen Xian came back.

    But as soon as he stepped out the door, Lan Yuan looked ten meters away——

    Chen Xian walked over holding an oil-paper umbrella. The wind blew her hair, which was stained with raindrops, giving her a different kind of beauty.

    Today she was wearing a black windbreaker, a long white skirt underneath, and small leather shoes.

    In the azure mist and rain, Shen Xian looked like a figure in a painting.

    Walking under the eaves, Shen Xian put away his umbrella. Seeing that there was no one in the store, he simply said hello to Hunter and planned to take Lan Yuan back.

    “Uncle, I’m taking my wife back first. Come to my house for dinner when you have time.”

    Lan Yuan was wearing trousers today. Shen Xian was afraid that her trousers would get wet, so he squatted down and rolled up her trousers before holding an umbrella and stepping out.

    “When did I become your wife?” Lan Yuan liked this title very much, but deliberately refused to admit it.

    “Aren’t you?” Shen Xian asked back.

    “I am.” Lan Yuan said helplessly. Although she couldn’t argue with Chen Xian, her heart was full of sweetness.

    She liked the title “Mrs. Chen Xian” very much and wished she could stick to it for the rest of her life.

    “But why did you get off work so early today?” Lan Yuan was puzzled.

    “It’s raining, and the female star who came to record the song missed her appointment,” Shen Xian explained.

    “Does your job allow you to get in touch with beautiful female celebrities?” Lan Yuan became wary.

    “Not as beautiful as you.” Shen Xian said immediately. She thought those female celebrities were very tacky and wore heavy makeup.

    Lan Yuan laughed inadvertently. Shen Xian was really good at coaxing people, and she liked it very much.

    “Next time, I’ll pick you up from get off work, madam.” There was no one around, so Lan Yuan stood on tiptoe and kissed Chen Xian.

    “Okay, madam, I wish you all the best.” Shen Xian said with a smile, his eyes sparkling with stars.

    “Lady of Blue Kite”, Shen Xian also likes to be labeled like this.

    The days passed quietly while making love and going to work. It has been almost two months since Lan Yuan started working in Hunter’s store.

    When they had free time on weekends, they insisted on going to the orphanage. Lan Yuan would teach them how to draw, and Shen Xian would play the piano for them.

    The alley of their home has already bloomed with sycamore flowers and magnolia flowers. At the end of May, pomegranate flowers are in full bloom.

    The flower season is changing, and the revolving sun is beginning to become fierce. Shen Xian will remind Lan Yuan to go out and hold an umbrella every day.

    Hunter is not only a good boss, but also a good teacher. He taught Lan Yuan the art of making clothes, and Lan Yuan is now almost independent in the store.

    From April to now, Lan Yuan finally finished her first and second pieces of clothing – her and Shen Xian’s cheongsam.

    When the sun was about to go down, Shen Xian came to the store. Lan Yuan asked her to try on the newly made cheongsam this morning.

    Lan Yuan chose a piece of white cloth with dark patterns for Shen Xian, with jasmine embroidery on it, and made herself a light blue cheongsam.

    Both of them changed their clothes and they fit perfectly, no need to adjust at all.

    Hunter also took a group photo of the two of them. The beautiful couple both smiled and looked at the camera, looking extremely sweet.

    This day——

    The weather was extremely hot and it was extremely hot even indoors. Hunter specially cooked mung bean soup at noon to cool down.

    Lan Yuan was worried that the weather would be too hot and Shen Xian would suffer from heat stroke, so she insisted on delivering mung bean soup at noon. She stopped a rickshaw under an umbrella and went to where Shen Xian worked.

    Knowing from the staff that Shen Xian was in the recording studio on the second floor, Lan Yuan said thank you and walked towards the second floor.

    Stepping up the stairs, she saw a group of people still working through the glass window. Lan Yuan didn’t dare to disturb them and kept waiting at the door.

    Suddenly Lan Yuan saw a woman with heavy makeup pointing at Chen Xian’s nose and scolding her. Although she didn’t know the reason, Lan Yuan was heartbroken when she saw Shen Xian swallowing her anger without replying.

    A staff member came out, and Lan Yuan held her back, “Hello, may I ask why there is a quarrel inside?”

    “It’s bad, Sister Butterfly is hard to take care of. It’s hot today and I’m in a bad mood. I just get angry at people. Now I have to buy smoothies for this giant Buddha.”

    After the staff finished speaking, they left in a hurry, fearing that the time would be wasted and Sister Butterfly would get angry again.

    Lan Yuan felt aggrieved for Shen Xian, especially when she saw Shen Xian sitting quietly in the corner with his head lowered, motionless, and couldn’t wipe off the sweat on his forehead, it felt like he had swallowed a needle.

    Before, Shen Xian came home with a smile every day. She always thought that Shen Xian’s job was easy, but she never thought it would be so difficult.

    Lan Yuan didn’t dare to enter the workroom. She knew that Shen Xian definitely didn’t want him to see her like she was now.

    Carrying the mung bean soup downstairs, Lan Yuan continued to ask some staff downstairs about Shen Xian’s situation.

    When she left, she felt that her legs were as heavy as lead. She couldn’t even believe that what really happened to Shen Xian.

    After the staff heard that Lan Yuan was Chen Xian’s sister, they told her about Shen Xian without reservation——

    They all praised Shen Xian. They thought she was good-looking, played the piano well, and was particularly polite and good-tempered.

    However, many singers like to put on airs or are not very good at it, so those who play the trumpet, piano or piano have to accept it to some extent and have to record over and over again.

    Not only Shen Xian was wronged, but many people behind the scenes were also wronged. Every time a stager was sent away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

    But Butterfly only targets Shen Xian, but the reason behind it is unexpected. The staff whispered to Lan Yuan——

    “Sister Butterfly is a man-in-law, and she fell in love with Shen Xian, but Shen Xian refused. Butterfly felt that she was losing face, so she bullied her over and over again.”

    As soon as Lan Yuan left, Butterfly drove away all the staff in the recording studio in the next second, and only pulled the heavy string——

    “I’ve asked, don’t pretend to be arrogant. You were Mrs. Du’s little lover before. What happened if I touched you?” Butterfly ordered.

    She had shown kindness to Shen Xian so many times but he had no response at all, which was too embarrassing.

    Chen Xian clenched his fists tightly and held back his anger. Today was the last song on the Butterfly album. After holding on for a while, we wouldn’t see each other again. He couldn’t lose his job in a hurry and embarrass other colleagues.

    “Why don’t you speak? Are you mute? Don’t you scream when Mrs. Du touches you? No wonder you fell out of favor with her.” Butterfly continued to tease.

    “I’m going out for a drink of water.” Shen Xian struggled to leave here.

    “Don’t even think about leaving. Believe it or not, the boss will fire you as soon as you step out of this door.” Butterfly threatened.

    “Okay, then I won’t leave.” Shen Xian compromised, but his eyes became sharp.

    “What’s wrong with me? I can give you money and even a better job.” Butterfly really couldn’t figure out why Shen Xian ignored her.

    Shen Xian avoided the butterfly’s approach and turned his head to one side, “The person who sent you here yesterday was probably a popular male movie star. Unfortunately, he was photographed by me. You should know better than me the impact of rumors on you?”

    Shen Xian originally wanted to be patient in exchange for peace and quiet, but he didn’t expect that what he would get in exchange was to push the envelope further. There was no point in being patient, so it was better to directly shock the other party.

    “Are you threatening me? Give me a price. How much does the photo cost?” Butterfly pulled away from Shen Xian with a nervous expression.

    “I don’t care about your gossip. You were very polite to us today. I will destroy it after recording the song.” Shen Xian said easily.

    When the staff who bought the smoothies came back, they couldn’t believe Butterfly’s attitude changed 180 degrees and she treated people with courtesy.

    Hunter’s store——

    “Lan Yatou, why is the mung bean soup in your lunch box intact?”

    When Hunter saw Lan Yuan come back, he put the lunch box on the table casually, feeling depressed.

    “Are you feeling bad because you didn’t see Shen Xian?”

    “Uncle, don’t worry, I’m fine.” Lan Yuan forced a smile to respond to Hunter.

    “When I went there, the staff told me that Shen Xian was off work this afternoon and went home, so I didn’t meet him.”

    Then he walked upstairs without looking back, hiding in a corner and crying secretly.

    In the evening, Lan Yuan came home from get off work, and Shen Xian had already arrived home before her.

    “I almost went to the store to find you. I’ve prepared the meal but you haven’t come back yet. You arrived home half an hour late today.” Shen Xian walked to the door to greet Lan Yuan and pointed at the time on his watch.

    Lan Yuan returned home after adjusting her mood in the store, so she was a little late, but she borrowed a lot from Shen Xian——

    “There was a lot of work in the store today, so I was a little late.”

    “Uncle, he loves to squeeze you, don’t work so hard.” Shen Xian bent down and put on Lan Yuan’s slippers.

    Lan Yuan went to the bathroom to wash her hands first, and when she came back she found three dishes and one soup on the table.

    In the past few months, Shen Xian has learned to cook, even more skillfully than Lan Yuan Dianshao. Thinking of this, Lan Yuan feels even more sad. It seems that she can only drag Shen Xian down.

    “Hurry up and eat. Today we have fried loofah that you like.” Shen Xian greeted Lan Yuan.

    “Why did you get off work so early today and still have time to cook?” Lan Yuan asked after taking a bite of rice.

    Even if Lan Yuan arrives home half an hour later on weekdays, at most he will arrive home at the same time as Shen Xian. Shen Xian cannot possibly be that much earlier than him.

    “The recording went well, and the manager was happy so he let us get off work early.” Shen Xian explained.

    But Shen Xian kept it secret about Butterfly harassing her and her threatening Butterfly, hiding it from Lan Yuan.

    Lan Yuan knew that it was impossible for Shen Xian to tell the truth, and she didn’t want to expose the fact that she went to the company to find her today. “She is so good. I really envy our Shen Xian.”

    “Who gave me a good life? I have a beautiful wife and an easy job.” Shen Xian smiled and kept picking up vegetables for Lan Yuan.

    “Young poor man, eat quickly.” Lan Yuan ordered, she guessed that Shen Xian didn’t eat well either.

    In the evening, after the two satisfied each other, they took a bath together, changed the sheets, and then hugged each other again to prepare for bed.

    Lan Yuan nestled in Shen Xian’s arms, kissed Shen Xian’s mouth, played with the fingers Shen Xian had just worked on, thought for a long time, and finally spoke –

    “How about we go to England? I will accompany you to finish the book.”
