After He Yu wiped the corners of her mouth, he leaned over to kiss her soft mouth. “Good girl. You can gain a foothold in the entertainment industry without relying on others. I believe in you. But I’m your husband. If you’re troubled, you can tell me. I’ll help you analyze the situation.”

Chu Xi was overjoyed when she heard these words. Her calves swayed back and forth in the air.

The mirth in He Yu’s eyes deepened. She was really obedient now and very easy to coax. Although she was a little fussy, she was so cute. He wanted to hug her like this every day and make her happy. He would never find it annoying because this was what he wanted.

He Yu had never given Chu Xi any resources because he wished she could stay at home and stay in his line of sight. He knew that he was too possessive and controlling, but he couldn’t control himself. He was afraid that she would suffer outside, and he was even more afraid that she would interact too much with other men. He wouldn’t be able to take it.

After Chu Xi got married, she had never asked He Yu for resources. Therefore, in the past three years, she basically stayed at home all the time, which made He Yu very happy. Now, Chu Xi was still unwilling to ask He Yu for help.

After dinner, Chu Xi sat on the sofa and read the scripts sent by Xiao Lele.

Xiao Lele had good taste. Both scripts were not bad, so it depended on which one she wanted to accept. Should she accept the period drama role and put up with Lu Pan’er, or accept the web drama role and put up with that singer with a bad temper and bad acting skills?

Chu Xi hesitated before opening Weibo to search for the artist’s name. She wanted to see what his acting skills and reputation were like.

[Ah! He is so handsome! He’s drop-dead gorgeous!]

[You’re the best. Your future is promising!]

[He is indeed shockingly handsome!]

[I want to give birth to his child!]

…

Chu Xi narrowed her eyes as she looked at the male artiste’s stage selfie. His face was indeed good-looking, but his makeup was too thick. She didn’t know how good-looking he actually was. Moreover, it looked like this artiste had zero acting experience.

There was also a dance video on his Weibo. The video was of him changing from his daily attire to a stage outfit. In the end, he even tilted his head and gave the camera a wink.

“What are you looking at?” A voice came from above Chu Xi’s head.

She immediately turned off her phone and scratched her head awkwardly. “No, I didn’t see anything. I was just scrolling through Weibo.”

He Yu supported himself with both hands on the sofa and looked down at her with a faint smile. “Don’t be afraid. I’m not angry. There are so many men in the world. You can meet many of them just by going out. Why would I stop you from looking at them?”

This sounded reasonable, but it sounded strange.

Chu Xi was about to explain when she smelled the cigarette on He Yu’s body. She coughed and quickly pinched her nose to distance herself from him. “Ahem, hubby, did you smoke just now?”

“Well… I just smoked one cigarette. Cough, cough…” He Yu covered his mouth with his hand and coughed a few times. Then, the corners of his eyes turned red.

After Chu Xi leaned over and sniffed his body like a cute little rabbit, she said worriedly, “Hubby, smoking is harmful to my health and second-hand smoke is bad for my health. Can you… try to quit smoking?”

He Yu lowered his eyes and didn’t respond for a moment.

Chu Xi was a little disappointed. It seemed that He Yu didn’t take her words seriously. Perhaps, before she lost her memory, their relationship wasn’t that deep.

At this moment, He Yu looked up with a clear gaze. “Okay, I promise you. Can you supervise me?”

Chu Xi looked at He Yu in surprise and nodded obediently. “Okay, I’ll supervise you.”

Hearing this, He Yu hugged Chu Xi. In a place where she couldn’t see, his eyes revealed a sly glint.

…

In the study, Chu Xi leaned in He Yu’s arms as she watched a movie with him. It was a classic old movie that Chu Xi had watched many times. Now that she watched it again, she became bored before she even watched a half of it and was about to fall asleep.

He Yu hugged her waist and turned her body, so that the two of them were face to face, and then he kissed her.

Chu Xi immediately perked up and her face turned red. She hadn’t even finished watching the movie, but he wanted to kiss her already. Why was he so reckless? After being married for three years, he didn’t think he needed to give her a heads up? She was so angry that her face puffed up.

After He Yu kissed her, he pressed his forehead against hers with a smile and apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry, my smoking addiction is acting up, but I promised you to quit smoking, so I had no choice but to kiss you to relieve it.”

Hearing this explanation, Chu Xi calmed down a little. “But you didn’t have to kiss me so hard. My mouth is about to swell!”

“It’s not swollen. I know my limits,” He Yu coaxed softly.
