A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor

Coaxing His Wife (3)

When his manager saw him on his phone, he couldn’t help but say, “What are you doing? Stop it. You are going to see the President later, so stop looking at your phone!”

“I’m sending a message to Bai Qi,” Xia Yang said.

The manager was shocked and said, “You truly like being the hero.” He had told Xia Yang to take advantage of Bai Qi’s popularity and achieve a win-win situation. However, he wasn’t very confident about that plan himself. He was worried that Xi-laoshi would slaughter them before they even stood a chance.

“Mn?” Xia Yang asked.

“Nothing,” his manager replied.

Xia Yang looked down and thought, ‘Why hasn’t Bai Qi replied to my messages?’

He caught up with Bai Qi’s profile after the filming. He found out that Bai Qi was a fan of his and how big of a deal it was. Xia Yang was a delinquent, whereas Bai Qi was an academic tyrant.

“The door is open. Hurry.” The manager pushed the door of the office open and entered.

The President’s chair swiveled around and he came face to face with Xia Yang.

His gaze was filled with unreadable emotions as he looked at Xia Yang and said, “Xia Yang, I got a call from Mr. Xi about how much our sister-in-law adores you. So, Mr. Xi is going to supply you with 10 tuition teachers, free of charge. You can skip any unnecessary activities related to your work. Starting from tomorrow onwards... just focus on your studies.”

The manager and Xia Yang were both dumbfounded by the statement.

The manager’s voice trembled as he asked, “10...? There aren’t even that many subjects in high school.”

The President shrugged and replied, “Who knows?”

The two of them were in the depths of despair when they exited the President’s office.

But they had no choice. The President had already given the orders.

The next day, Xia Yang’s fans noticed that there were changes to his schedule...

And his fans naturally asked why.

What’s happening?

Could it be that their idol’s opponent, Xiang Jingran, had stolen their idol’s opportunities again?

The fansite managers who were close to the employees from Xia Yang’s studio answered in a daze: 【I think he’s gone... to tuition?】

【?】

The news soon spread like wildfire and was later confirmed.

Another discussion immediately appeared in the gossip forum.

【My cousin-sister works for the company Xia Yang is signed under, and is one of the President’s assistants. She said that when the filming ended, the President had immediately called for Xia Yang and allocated 10 tuition teachers to him. It’s merely hearsay, but I heard that Xi Chengyun is fully sponsoring everything】

【Really?】

【It’s true! These days, Xia Yang would be in class if he wasn’t brushing up his dance moves or recording new songs】

【I can sense jealousy】

The discussion became longer by the minute and was also continued on Weibo.

【Xia Yang asked Bai Qi for help, and Xi-laoshi was hurt. In return, he employed 10 tuition teachers for him. This is f*cking hilarious HAHAHA】

With this, everyone spent their New Year with smiles and laughter.

Xi Chengyun had declined many job opportunities, and only accepted one of them.

On the night of the 29th, he attended the New Year’s Gala of one of the local broadcasting stations.

This TV station had spent loads to get Xi Chengyun to attend their gala. They even offered to give an appearance fee to Bai Qi just to get Xi Chengyun to join.

Bai Qi was effortlessly earning money.

Bai Qi smacked his lips and couldn’t help but sigh. ‘No wonder so many people have the dream of becoming a celebrity.’

After Su Meixian found out about the plans, she nodded and said, “Alright, you can go ahead. Your dad will be coming home that day, so I will go and fetch him. There’s no need to hurry...”

Xi Chengyun ordered another suit for Bai Qi for the gala. Meanwhile, he only went for two of the rehearsals.

Soon, it was the 29th.

Shang Guang drove them to the television station. The host had already started the livestream to get things pumping.

“I heard that Xi-laoshi is already downstairs...”

“Huh? Bai Qi? Yes, he should be here too.”

“Why are there people asking about Xia Yang? Today, Xia Yang should be...”

【Fight, fight!】

【I heard from Xia Yang’s group members that Xia Yang is even mumbling math formulas in his sleep. It seems like he’s taking tuition classes to sit for the National Unified Examination for College Admissions for Adults】

【All I want to know is whether Xi-ge is still being punished by kneeling on durians? Has he managed to coax our sister-in-law?】

【Xi-laoshi is a generous man who saves the mindlessly wandering population (Xia Yang)!】

“One moment, let me fetch Xi-laoshi for you all.” The host’s eyes sparkled when she saw the rising numbers in the live broadcast.

She heard footsteps while she was talking and turned around to look.

The camera immediately focused on Bai Qi and Xi Chengyun who’d just appeared in front of them.

They were both dressed in white suits and red ties. One of them had a brooch pinned on the left and another had a brooch pinned on the right.

‘What a feast to the eyes, they are such a wonderful match,’ the host couldn’t help but think.

The host didn’t want to miss this opportunity for them to have a substantial increase in viewership. She quickly went forward and said, “Xi-laoshi, Bai Qi, if you are both free, why don’t we have a small chat? Or why don’t we play a game?”

Xi Chengyun smiled and asked, “Are there prizes to be won?”

“Yes! We are giving out laptops, phones, earphones, iPads, and even gaming consoles... You can choose anything you like after you win.”

Bai Qi also smiled and asked, “What game are we playing?”

He was rather confident in his Morra and poker skills.

“Let’s play... guess the artist! If you lose... You have to pick a punishment from this bucket, what do you say?” the host asked excitedly.

【Would they let them guess Xia Yang’s work? Xi-ge would be extremely jealous!】

“Sure,” Xi Chengyun replied.

The host then asked, “Please name the song of Xiang Jingran’s first performance.”

Bai Qi and the comment section were puzzled.

【Way to go! I thought that the host would ask about Xia Yang. You truly caught me off guard there!】

【Sh*t, Xiang Jingran is Xia Yang’s rival. How would Bai Qi know information about him?】

【? Xiang Jingran is in danger】

Bai Qi…

Bai Qi actually does know.

Xiang Jingran is one of his idols.

But clearly, he’d already been caught being a fan of Xia Yang, and he can’t be caught again.

So, Bai Qi had no choice but to shake his head.

He didn’t want to seem too unchaste.

“Does Xi-laoshi know?” the host asked.

“I don’t,” Xi Chengyun replied.

The host became even more excited and quickly passed the box to them. “Come on now, draw a lot. Who’s first?”

Just as Bai Qi reached forward, Xi Chengyun held him by his arm and said, “Let me.”

Xi Chengyun randomly picked a piece of paper and slowly opened it.

He read the details on the paper out loud. “Randomly choose someone to sit on your back, and do 10 pushups with one hand.”

【The host is so brave...】

【Is this even humane?】

Xi Chengyun stood up, swiftly unbuttoned the buttons of his suit, and took off his suit. Subsequently, he unbuttoned two buttons of his neatly ironed shirt.

“Bring it on,” he said.

The host blinked and said, “Is this an invitation to me? I’m around 88 pounds, pretty light if I can say so myself.”

Xi Chengyun chuckled and said, “That won’t do.”

He looked at Bai Qi and said, “Come over here.”

It was natural for Bai Qi to reward Xi Chengyun if he were to win a prize for him.

However, Bai Qi didn’t expect both of them to be unable to answer. And now, Xi Chengyun had to do pushups while carrying him.

Bai Qi didn’t think much when he did nice things for Xi Chengyun in the process of acting. Yet, he felt a little guilty now that it was Xi Chengyun who was coaxing him.

Anxiety unknowingly showed in Bai Qi’s eyes. Bai Qi also thought that it would be a better idea to choose the female host. He looked at Xi Chengyun and asked, “Will you be alright?”

“You can try,” Xi Chengyun said.

In the end, he bit his lower lip and walked over to Xi Chengyun.

Soon, Xi Chengyun had lowered his body into a perfect pushup position.

Bai Qi figured he could push himself off the ground if Xi Chengyun wasn’t able to carry him up, so he sat on his back.

Xi Chengyun’s back muscles were tense, and it could be somewhat seen through the white shirt.

He quickly lifted an arm and wrapped it around Bai Qi’s waist, as if to prevent him from falling.

Then, Xi Chengyun proceeded to do the first pushup.

The live stream instantly burst into excitement.

【OMG! There’s really nothing Xi-ge can’t do to make his wife happy!】

Xia Yang’s fans had tears in their eyes.

We are truly sorry, Xi-laoshi.
