After Li Shen’s scandal in October passed, there was a period of calm on Weibo. The only news that caused a little storm was when Miss Li Chengcheng attended an event and sang Color of a Flower live for the first time. 

    

The video soon spread to various platforms, attracting countless netizens to "pay respect".

 

“This horrendous thing and Color of a Flower are the same songs? [suspicious]”

    

“Haha, lmao. I finally believe that autotuners are real. Haha.”

    

“I play Color of a Flower on a loop multiple times. I don’t know what to say [covers face] I can only say that this little sister is finally singing [covers face]”

    

"Li Chengcheng was originally from a girl group, please be more tolerant [covers face]"

    

“No, how can you want me to tolerate this singing??”

    

“Duan Zhiming must have been kidnapped by Xingyao to allow her to sing his song right. Li Shen sang with her because they put a knife to his neck right?”

 

“After listening to this, I decided to go back and listen to the CD version to cleanse my ears [covers face]”

    

Li Chengcheng’s live version of Color of a Flower was ridiculed by netizens. Because her singing was so bad, her fans couldn’t even defend her. But Li Chengcheng seemed to be more courageous than they thought. In her subsequent activities, she still insisted on singing Color of a Flower live. Of course, they are all solo versions.

    

"...Although it is still out of tune, it is a bit better than the video I saw last time [eats melon]"

    

“Brother Shen who is always playing support.”

    

“Li Shen: Don’t expect me to sing with you until you improve.”

    

“Hahaha, will I ever have the opportunity in this lifetime to hear Li Shen sing with her, haha”

    

“Little sister is so pretty, you still have the heart to ridicule her [eats melon] Duan Zhiming’s songs aren’t easy to sing in the first place [eats melon]”

    

“Fans, don’t defend her, thank you.”

    

During this time, Yu Wan is often on Weibo, not to look up drama but to operate her Weibo account. After becoming an independent planner, she has to rely on platforms like Weibo and WeChat to promote her work. She had planned two custom weddings before and did an interview and wrote an article for a magazine so she has some reputable status in the wedding circle. But for the time being, no one has come to her to plan a custom wedding.

    

While Yu Wan is done posting on her Weibo, she would go through Weibo to relax her nerves. So, during this period, she knows almost all the hot searches on Weibo.

    

For example, Li Chengcheng’s horrible performance of Color of a Flower, the upcoming Music Awards Ceremony, and Li Shen’s fans are already preparing for his birthday celebration. 

 

After seeing this, Yu Wan felt that as his girlfriend, she wasn’t as enthusiastic as his fans, but…. Li Shen’s birthday is on December 24th, a month from now, and they are acting too excited. But this is going to be the first time they celebrate Li Shen’s birthday after getting back together so she should prepare something.

    

Thus, she started to come up with a plan.

    

There needs to at least be a dessert table. Li Shen is a singer so the cake should be made in the shape of a microphone. Music staves could be around all around the site and the guitar can be made into a centerpiece in front of the entrance. That way, once he enters, he would see the musical elements and feel shocked.

    

Wait, no, this is not a wedding scene. 

    

“....” She is too lonely without a job!

    

Li Shen was also relatively idle during this period. There are rumors on the Internet that he was going to join Guangchen. The Xingyao’s executives also saw it and talked to him about it. The company negotiated better conditions for him for the endorsement Chi Lu previously suppressed but it requires that during the contract period, he can’t leave Xingyao. Else, he will have to pay a large penalty fee. 

    

Li Shen didn’t immediately agree to it so the endorsement was temporarily put in the back burner. Except for writing a few songs, he would appear on a few variety shows. 

    

When he left the TV station, he received a WeChat message. After reading the content, he revealed a rare smile. 

    

Xiao Su saw him smiling so happily and curiously asked, “What is it, Brother Shen. Is the endorsement finally settled?”

    

Li Shen put away his phone and smiled at her, "It's something better than that."

    

Xiao Su was even more curious, “What is it?”

    

Li Shen didn’t reveal any more and said, “There’s no other schedule for the day, just take me home.”

    

“Okay.” Since Li Shen doesn’t want to say it, Xiao Su didn’t ask anymore. Once they reached Li Shen’s car, she acted as the coachman. 

    

When Xiao Su sent Li Shen home, she didn’t dawdle and left right away. Although it has not been disclosed to the public, she knows that Li Shen has a girlfriend. The company had not asked them to break up and simply said they cannot reveal it. Xiao Su had long forgotten about her encounter with Yu Wan in the community. She asked Xiao Dong what type of person Brother Shen’s girlfriend is but only received a mysterious smile from her. 

    

Xiao Su felt that the situation isn’t so simple. So, one day she took advantage of sending Li Shen home and found an excuse to enter his house. She saw Yu Wan playing with Lili inside. Then….she was fed a mouthful of dog food. 

    

From then on, after sending Li Shen home, Xiao Su never spared a glance their way to protect herself. 

    

Today, she immediately left. This was a good choice because Yu Wan was sitting on Li Shen’s sofa. Seeing her, Li Shen raised his lips inadvertently, walked to her, and sat down, "What are you doing?"

    

“Oh, another wedding magazine asked me to write an article. I am thinking about what to write.” The article she wrote for Beautiful Bride was well-received by the readers so other magazines began to ask her to write for them as well. Although the pay isn’t high, it’s good to use this platform to promote herself.

    

Yu Wan saved the draft and looked at Li Shen, “By the way, I saw online that your fans are preparing to celebrate your birthday. What do you plan on doing on your birthday?”

    

Li Shen, “My birthday is still far away. No need to rush. Actually, do you have any clients recently?”

    

“Hmm….I don’t know if it was because the budget for the two weddings I planned was too high that it scared everyone. Several newlyweds, I consulted with asked if I would not accept the wedding if it is under seven digits.” Although the bigger the budget, the better the result, it doesn’t mean she is unable to plan small weddings. 

    

Also, most of the money from those weddings goes into the company’s wallet. 

    

Li Shen blinked, “I have a potential client here. Do you want me to introduce them to you?”

    

"Really?" Yu Wan sat up straight and looked at him expectantly.

    

Li Shen nodded and showed a distressed expression, “But his budget is quite high. I’m afraid after you do this, ordinary people won’t dare to look for you.”

    

“Who is it?” Most of Li Shen’s friends who she is familiar with are his college friends. She also had no chance to meet his friends from the entertainment industry. If the budget is high, it should be a friend from the entertainment circle?

    

“If I tell you, whether you decide to take on this case or not, you must keep it confidential.”

    

“Don’t worry, I understand!” Yu Wan was even more excited. It must be a celebrity. 

    

“It’s Gu Xin.”

    

"???" Yu Wan blanked for a long time before she reacted, "Gu Xin? Gu Xin is getting married???"

    

Even if she doesn’t chase celebrities, she had heard of Gu Xin. Before Heavenly Voice became popular, during the years Sima Xiaoxiao is acting in TV series, Gu Xin was the winner of every grand prize in music shows. Everyone grew weary from seeing him win all the time. 

    

“Is it surprising? He is not young anymore.”

    

“It’s not a matter of age. He is getting married…. do his fans know?”

    

Li Shen had on an amused look, “In any case, his parents know.”

    

“.....” Yu Wan calmed down and asked again, “Who’s the bride? It couldn’t be Sima Xiaoxiao right?”

    

“Hahaha.” Li Shen laughed out loud, “Wanwan, you should stop spending so much time on Weibo.”

    

“.....”

 

Is it funny pairing Gu Xin and Sima Xiaoxiao together? They are many fans’ CP!

    

“The bride isn’t in the industry, she is his fan.”

    

“....” Okay, another fan who successfully got together with their idols. 

    

It's so inspirational.

    

“When I heard he was planning on getting married, I introduced you to him. He sent me a message just now. He said that he likes your wedding style very much and would like you to help them plan their wedding."

    

“I can do it! What type of wedding do they want!”

    

Li Shen smiled, “You will have to talk to them yourself. I already sent him your WeChat account. He will contact you when he is free.”

    

“Oh, okay!” Yu Wan plunged into his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist in excitement, “Thank you, Ah Shen!”

    

After working as an independent planner, she would have to count on acquaintances to introduce clients to her. She didn’t expect that Li Shen would introduce her to a powerful client. 

    

“Why are you saying thanks, I’m not an outsider. You can show me your thanks through your actions.”

    

“.....”

    

That night, Yu Wan received a friend request from Gu Xin. Because it is already late into the night, Gu Xin simply made an appointment with her to talk face-to-face.

    

The last time Yu Wan saw Gu Xin was at Li Shen’s concert. He was the guest performer for his first show. It was also at that time she realized they have a good relationship. 

    

She also heard that Gu Xin was the middleman when Guangchen contacted Li Shen.

    

In order to better understand Gu Xin’s preferences, she went online to research him. After searching, she found that Gu Xin’s dating scandal has been out for a long time. From time to time, the media will report intimate photos of him and a mysterious woman. However, the mystery woman never showed her face on camera. 

    

Some of his fans believed it and some cursed but Gu Xin never responded to the rumors. 

    

Yu Wan was a bit speechless. Wouldn’t it be too cruel to suddenly spring a wedding out on them?

    

Besides Gu Xin’s scandal, Yu Wan also listened to his songs. 

    

Speaking of songs, she definitely prefers Li Shen’s style. Gu Xin’s rock songs are good for listening to one or two songs. After a couple more, Yu Wan starts to feel her ear hurt…..she lowered the volume. Before meeting with Gu Xin, she listened to all his albums. 

    

On the day of the meeting, Yu Wan finally put on her big and went to Gu Xin's home with her laptop. She only realized that Gu Xin also lived in the villa area near Lize Park. No wonder he is acquainted with Li Shen.

    

After resigning, Yu Wan had to return the car and she didn’t buy another one. Instead, she wants to wait to complete her first wedding as an independent planner to reward herself. Li Shen has some cars in his garage. However, one is an off-roading car while the other is too flashy so she ended up taking a taxi to Gu Xin’s house. 

    

At Gu Xin’s house, she finally met the “mysterious woman” who appeared in a few media reports. After Gu Xin greeted her, he introduced her, “This is my girlfriend, Chen Shishi.”
