Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 43


Chen Zui’s post maintained his usual straight-to-the-point image. However, this time, everyone was not focused on his callousness but rather on the first sentence of his post.

Chen Zui’er have a girlfriend??

Although Chen Zui is not a celebrity, this news was a bolt from the blue to his fans.

“Even Chen Zui’er has a girlfriend. Why is it that everyone I like is in a relationship??”

“First commenter, can you like my marriage partner?”

“First commenter, please move on and let go of our Zui’er [cover face]”

“Don’t ask who Chen Zui’er’s girlfriend is, it’s me [doge]”

“I am the only one wondering about @ScreenwriterShuXuan [eat melon]”

Shu Xuan didn’t need to look at the mentions. She had already heard of the news from her assistant. She is indeed interested in Chen Zui but if he already has a girlfriend, that’s another story.

“Sister Xuan, how do you intend to deal with this?” The assistant saw that Chen Zui brought out his girlfriend but Shu Xuan didn’t say anything and felt a bit troubled.

Shu Xuan scrolled through the comments on her Weibo and laughed, “I won’t do such an outrageous thing like steal someone’s boyfriend. Since he has clarified it, let’s clarify too.”

Indeed, she often has scandals with male artists but they were based on mutual consent and everyone gets what they want. Since Chen Zui already has a girlfriend, there’s no need to waste time on him.

“You can help me post it. Just say that I am looking for him to collect materials and there is no other meaning. Please pay attention to my future work.”

“Ok.” The assistant began to write a draft of the post.

After the two posted a clarification on Weibo, the matter can be considered over. Now, everyone isn’t focused on Chen Zui and Shu Xuan but is discussing who Chen Zui’s girlfriend is.

Chen Zui doesn’t plan on bringing up Zhen Tian on the Internet and Zhen Tian has no intention of revealing herself. Since they couldn’t get an answer from Chen Zui, they went to Chen Yiran’s Weibo to ask.

Chen Zui already told Chen Yiran not to share information about Zhen Tian on the internet so he kept his mouth shut. It’s just that the netizens were too enthusiastic so he still sent out a response on Weibo.

Do A Good Deed Everyday: Thank you, everyone, for caring about my aunt [doge] Regarding my aunt, the information I can currently disclose is, my aunt is super sweet, my aunt is super beautiful, I love my aunt and, of course, my uncle really loves my aunt [doge]

Melon-eating netizens: ….

Not only did Chen Zui'er show off his girlfriend on Weibo, but his nephew also made a big show of his aunt!

After Zhen Tian saw his Weibo, she decided to buy him a pack of snacks the next time she sees him.

Taking Chen Yiran to meet Zhen Tian’s family has been mentioned for a while now. Chen Zui’s next day off was coming soon. Tian Sen gave him Sunday off. On Saturday, he supervised Chen Yiran to finish his homework and then took him out to play the next day.

It’s perfect.

After Chen Zui confirmed his day off, he rented a beachside villa for a day and ordered some barbeque tools. After everything had been set, he sent the time and place to Zhen Tian.

There is a small area by the sea in A City where a lot of villas have been built for rent. The villas are three or more stories high. There are gyms, swimming pools, and large gardens. The renters don’t have to prepare anything and just enjoy the service and amenities provided.

Of course, the rent is not cheap. Seeing that Chen Zui was the one who rented it, Zhen Tian wanted to split half the rent with him.

Zhen Tian: Senior, why don’t we split expenses for the outing that day? We can’t let you pay for it all by yourself

Chen Zui: It’s not much money. Paying the expense is what I should do. You and your family just need to be there.

Zhen Tian: [cover face] But you and Shanshan are only two people while my entire family is going. I can’t let you foot everything yourself.

Chen Zui: If you saw it like that, it seems that Chen Yiran and I are considered outsiders :(

Zhen Tian:...I didn’t mean that! I just think that since Zhen Xi and the others want to meet you, they should pay some money!

Each of her brothers is richer than the other. Why should they bully senior?!

Chen Zui: They asked to meet to test me. Don’t deprive me of the opportunity to perform for them

Zhen Tian: [cover face] Well then, let me prepare the food for the barbeque.

Zhen Tian: Ask Shanshan what he wants to eat so I can buy it.

Chen Zui: Ok, I will make a list when the time comes. Let us each prepare.

Zhen Tian: En.

Chen Zui: By the way, did Zhou Keye ask to meet again?

Zhen Tian, “...”

The topic changed too quickly!

Zhen Tian: We originally agreed to meet this week but since we are going on an outing, we had to postpone to a later day.

Chen Zui: Oh :)

….What does “Oh” mean? She never realized Chen Zui was a jealous person before.

After the two finished discussing the outing, Zhen Tian went to inform her family of the news. The most excited member of the family is Ms. Wang Shuzhen who was already thinking about whether to get a manicure before the trip.

On the surface, Lao Zhen didn’t say anything but he was concerned about the trip in his heart. However, what he and Ms. Wang Shuzhen are concerned about are completely different. At work, he called Zhen Xi to his office to have a small secret meeting.

“For the outing this weekend, you must take this opportunity to help me test that boy Chen Zui. Call Chen Rui and the others to help out too!” Comrade Lao Zhen urged Zhen Xi earnestly.

Zhen Xi originally wanted to meet Chen Zui in order to do this. However, he doesn’t understand something, “Why don’t you do it yourself? As Zhen Tian’s father, it is more justifiable for you to make things difficult for him.”

Lao Zhen sighed, “Do you think I don’t want to? After he started dating Tiantian, I haven’t had the chance to get to know him yet but your mom already went to the TV station and watched his show in person. When she came back, she kept praising him. Now, she and Tiantian are Chen Zui's diehard fans. One of them is even in love, so I thought I must use this outing as an opportunity to test him!”

“Then?”

“Then your mom told me yesterday that if I dare to make things difficult for Chen Zui, she will make things difficult for me.”

Zhen Xi, “...”

“At first, I had a good impression of Chen Zui. However, after he got popular, there were rumors he has an illegitimate child then he was in a scandalous relationship. When you see him, don’t let him off too easily.” Lao Zhen warned him.

Zhen Xi thought about it for a while and said, “Will Ms. Wang Shuzhen let me off the hook?”

“What do you need to be afraid of? The worst she could do is marry you off and kick you out.”

“....”

Zhen Xi had reasons to believe this was Lao Zhen’s ultimate goal.

“I will discuss this matter with Zhen Rui.” With that, Zhen Xi left Lao Zhen’s office.

Under the different expectations of everyone, Sunday finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Chen Zui took Chen Yiran and drove to Zhen Tian’s home to pick her up. For this outing, Zhen Tian had everything planned out. Besides her family of four, Chen Zui and Shanshan, there are Zhen Rui and her two other cousins. A total of nine people and four cars.

On the way to Zhen Tian’s house, Chen Yiran was nervous, “Uncle, do I look cute in this suit?”

To impress Zhen Tian’s parents, Chen Yiran especially dressed up like a good and obedient child. He dawdled longer than girls to get ready. Afraid they would be late, Chen Zui had to carry him to the car.

“Should I wear a bow tie? It will look cuter.”

Chen Zui responded, “It is better to act cute later than to dress cute.”

Chen Yiran knew that he had a heavy responsibility today. Apart from pleasing Sister Tiantian's parents, he also had to deal with her four older brothers. Thinking of the four brothers, Chen Yiran felt really nervous for Chen Zui.

“Uncle, we are entering the tiger’s den today. You must keep your guard up!”

Chen Zui, “....”

He should be the one saying this to Chen Yiran.

This is Chen Yiran’s first time visiting Zhen Tian’s house. When Chen Zui drove into the villa community, his confidence lessened, “Uncle, Sister Tiantian is a child of a rich family. I feel that you are done for today.”

“....Can’t you say something auspicious?” Chen Zui was actually really nervous. He loosened his collar and said to Chen Yiran, “When you see Zhen Tian’s family later, remember to greet them.”

“Don’t worry, my mouth is really sweet.”

Heh, is that right?

Zhen Tian and Ms. Wang Shuzhen were already waiting by the entrance waiting for Chen Zui to come. As soon as Chen Zui’s car came into view, Zhen Tian saw it right away, “He’s here. Mom, have you explained everything to Dad and the others?”

Today, including Zhen Xi, there are a total of four brothers present. Don’t think she doesn’t know what they’re trying to do! She can’t control them but with Ms. Wang Shuzhen in charge, they don’t dare to make a ruckus.

Wearing a new dress, Ms. Wang Shuzhen looked in the direction of Chen Zui’s car, “I already told you, your dad won’t dare to mess around but those boys may not listen to me. If they go overboard and scare Chen Zui’er away, I will make them pay.”

Zhen Tian was a little relieved hearing Ms. Wang Shuzhen’s words. Facing the four of them, Chen Zui is definitely outnumbered so it is fortunate he has backup.

“The one in front is Zhen Tian’s mother. Remember to greet her well when you get off the car.” Chen Zui explained before stopping the car. Chen Yiran simply responded, “Let it to me!”

After the car came to a complete stop, Chen Yiran got out of the car first. He ran to Zhen Tian and gave her a big hug, “Hello Sister Tiantian!”

“Hello Shanshan!” Zhen Tian pat his head and asked, “Did you finish your homework?”

“Yes!”

“Good boy!”

Chen Yiran looked up at Ms. Wang Shuzhen and curiously asked Zhen Tian, “Sister Tiantian, is this your sister? She is as pretty as you!”

Chen Zui, who heard this when he got out of the car, “....”

Chen Yiran is very capable. He is suddenly filled with confidence today.

Ms. Wang Shuzhen covered her mouth, unable to hide the smile in her eyes, “is this Chen Zui’er’s nephew? His mouth is so sweet.”

….Hehe. Zhen Tian’s eyebrows twitched as she introduced them to Chen Yiran, “This is my mother. You can call her grandma.”

Ms. Wang Shuzhen was now unhappy, “Why are you sister and I’m grandma? Isn’t this seniority messed up?”

Chen Yiran echoed, “Even if you’re grandma, you are a beautiful grandma!”

Ms. Wnag Shuzhen pats his head and smiles from ear to ear, “Xiao Baobei is really obedient.”

Zhen Tian, “....”

“Hello, Auntie. Sorry to have kept you waiting.” Chen Zui walked up to Ms. Wang Shuzhen and greeted her. Ms. Wang Shuzhen smiled at him, “We didn’t wait too long. Do you want to come in and rest a bit?”

“I’m good. We should leave early, the barbeque will take some time to prepare.”

“Okay, then I will call them out. You wait here.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen entered the house happily.

After a while, Lao Zhen and the four brothers came out of the house majestically. Lao Zhen learned his lesson from the last time and dressed formally. Zhen Xi and the others were all dressed casually. Once again, Lao Zhen was out of place.

“Xiao Baobei, this is your grandpa and your uncles.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen pulled Chen Yiran and introduced them to him. Chen Yiran greeted Lao Zhen in a childish voice, “Hello Grandpa.”

“He-hello.” Lao Zhen was a little happy to be greeted but on the surface, he tried to maintain the look of an elder.

“Hello, uncles.” Chen Yiran then greeted Zhen Xi and the others.

Zhen Xi looked down at the little one in front of him. He looked quite smart and well-behaved. He coaxed Ms. Wang Shuzhen so quickly so it seemed he has a few tricks up his sleeve.

“Hello, kid.” Zhen Xi smiled at him. Then he looked past him and looked at Chen Zui behind him.

Chen Zui is also wearing a casual outfit today, which is much more cordial than what he is seen wearing on TV. After changing the suit, his temperament is still outstanding. It is understandable for Zhen Tian to like him.

He exchanged glances with Zhen Rui and others. A friendly smile appeared on his face, “Let me introduce to you all, this is Zhen Tian’s boyfriend, ABA news anchor, Chen Zui.”

The eyes of the three fell on Chen Zui. Zhen Tian could feel the pressure of the gaze as she watched from the side. Fortunately, Chen Zui didn’t tremble and nodded to them, “Hello, I’m Chen Zui.”

As soon as he opened his mouth, a charming voice was heard. The brothers raised their brows and greeted him with a smile.

Zhen Tian took a step forward, intending to block them from staring at Chen Zui. At this moment, the sound of barking rang out. It was Pudding who was running over to everyone.

When Chen Yiran saw the puppy in front of him, his eyes lit up, “Wow, it’s a puppy!”

Zhen Tian picked up Pudding and walked over to him, “His name’s Pudding. Do you want to pet him? He is well-behaved.”

“Ok.” Chen Yiran stretched out his hand and patted Pudding twice. Pudding lay limply in Zhen Tian’s arms and let out two pleasant cries.

“What’s going to happen to Pudding when we’re gone? It’s better to take him with us.” Zhen Tian said this not only because she is worried about Pudding but she also has some calculations. A cute kid and a cute pet should help offset a lot of hits toward Senior.

“Okay, who will take him?” Ms. Wang Shuzhen asked.

Chen Yiran, “Can I stay with the puppy?”

“Yes.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen smiled kindly, “Xiao Baobei likes small animals. What a kindhearted kid.”

….Chen Yiran was simply scheming. Chen Zui sighed in his heart, “Then Pudding will sit in my car.”

“I also want to sit in Senior’s car!” Zhen Tian raised her hand.

Chen Zui smiled at her, “Ok.”

“Then Chen Zui’er will go with Zhen Tian, Pudding, and Xiao Baobei. Lao Zhen and I will go together while you four will figure it out among yourselves.”

After Ms. Wang Shuzhen arranged the group, the party of nine and four cars finally set off to the beach.
