If her husband really passed away early, that mother-in-law would definitely spread rumors that she intentionally killed her husband for the inheritance.
Seeing his wife’s eyes reddening, he felt heartbroken and quickly pulled her into his arms, soothing her gently.
“Oh, my dear, don’t cry. I was wrong. I’ll eat whatever you tell me to eat. I won’t sneak food anymore. Please don’t cry—it hurts me to see you like this.”
Zhu Meixiu smiled through her tears and shot him a sidelong glance. “Do you really think I didn’t know you were sneaking food?”
Chen Fugui grinned sheepishly. “Thank you for your understanding, my dear wife.”
“Send her the address. I’ll handle the package. Maybe it’s something edible.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
After sending the address to Ye Sheng, Chen Fugui went to take a shower, while Zhu Meixiu continued blow-drying her still-damp hair.
Upon receiving the address, Ye Sheng headed to the courier station to mail the package. Before leaving, she asked Ye Xiaotian if there was anything she wanted to buy, so she could bring it back.
It wasn’t until after finishing his work that Xi Yang opened his phone and saw Ye Sheng’s reply.
This girl really was different from the streamers he had followed before.
She hadn’t even accepted the money.
Today, he also received good news: a project he had been struggling to secure suddenly gave way.
The contract had just been signed. Once this project succeeded, his net worth would increase by another five million.
Could she be his little lucky star?
Ever since he started following her, he had become much luckier.
Now, he was somewhat looking forward to what Ye Sheng would send him.
…
[Ding! Random food item has been refreshed!]
[Task: Stream food—Black Pork Buns. Sell 10 servings via the live stream shopping cart. Reach 1,000 viewers in the stream.]
[Reward: 1,000 yuan, 10 Points.]
[Note: Same-city delivery, mission guaranteed. As long as the address is correct, delivery within half an hour. Remember to leave a five-star review.]
Ye Sheng suddenly realized—so that’s what she had forgotten yesterday! The five-star reviews!
Today, she absolutely had to make sure they left five-star reviews.
She had already changed her stream title to “Food Streamer Ye Sheng” and planned to keep it that way from now on, so she wouldn’t have to change it every time.
It would also prevent fans from getting lost.
Perfect timing—she hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. Time to start streaming!

[…]
Xi Yang was in a meeting, and the conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
This young CEO’s presence was so overwhelming that even the seasoned executives felt suffocated.
Ding-dong!
Everyone gasped—who was so bold as to not mute their phone during a meeting? Did they have a death wish?
Everyone frantically checked their pockets for their phones.
No notifications—phew, it wasn’t them.
Then, they looked around gleefully, trying to spot the unlucky soul, but no one seemed out of the ordinary.
Could it be…?
Everyone turned their gaze toward Xi Yang, seated at the head of the table.
He calmly pulled out his phone.
[Ding! The streamer you follow has gone live.]
The corners of Xi Yang’s mouth lifted slightly.
Everyone was astonished. Who had sent the message that made the CEO smile?
Could he be in a relationship?
Maybe it was a message from his girlfriend.
That would explain why the CEO was smiling.
But then another question arose: When did the CEO start dating? How come they hadn’t heard a single whisper about it?
One by one, questioning glances turned toward the CEO’s personal assistant.
Assistant Cheng jolted, looking as if he’d seen a ghost.
Everyone was speechless. No need to ask—this guy clearly didn’t know either. They exchanged glances, but no one dared to ask.
Xi Yang looked up from his phone. “That’s all for today’s meeting. I hope the proposals in your hands aren’t just more garbage.”
Everyone slunk away.
Assistant Cheng closed the door and was about to approach Xi Yang when he was stopped after taking just one step.
“You go out too.”
“Understood, CEO.”
Assistant Cheng pushed the door open, exited, and closed it firmly behind him, leaving Xi Yang alone in the vast office.
Xi Yang clicked into Ye Sheng’s livestream.
As soon as Ye Sheng started streaming, viewers began pouring in.
Seriously?
Don’t any of them have to work?
Ye Sheng voiced her own confusion.
“Don’t you all have jobs?”
That one sentence instantly broke the spirits of the corporate drones in the livestream.
「Lv10. Boss Cao: Streamer, do you have a conscience? I’m slacking off to watch your stream, and you say something so cruel. You’re going to lose me like this.」
That’s cruel?
She had something even crueler.
Ye Sheng cupped her hands around her mouth like a megaphone: “I’m reporting this! Someone here is slacking off on their phone! Quick! Pin him down and dock his pay!”
「Lv10. Boss Cao: !!! You… you… you’re going too far!」
「Lv2. Yang Xiaxin: Hahaha, too funny. Good thing I’m a college student—I don’t have to be a corporate drone yet.」
「Lv16. Qingfeng Yulai (Back in two weeks): Same here, but I’m about to start my internship. The tough days are coming.」
「Lv23. After the Storm: Scared me for a second. I opened my phone and remembered—oh right, I’m a full-time author. Phew.」
“Just kidding, just kidding. Alright, has everyone had breakfast yet?”
Some said yes, some said no.
“Have you ever seen a black pig run? It’s fine if you haven’t.”
“You might not have seen a black pig run, but you can still eat black pork.”
“Those who haven’t had breakfast are in luck—today it’s black pork buns.”
“As usual, 10 portions are up for sale. Same-city delivery only, guaranteed to arrive. First come, first served!”
「Lv35. Spicy Rabbit Head is the Best: Hey, wait! Only same-city? What about us out-of-towners?!」
He had joined the stream as soon as it started, only to hear this devastating news.
Being able to watch but not eat—what could be crueler than that?
Xi Yang didn’t say a word, his eyes fixed on the shopping cart icon. As soon as it went live, he would buy immediately!
Two portions!
He hadn’t had breakfast yet, and he had a big appetite. Buying two portions wasn’t excessive, right?
Not excessive at all!
The shopping cart appeared and vanished in an instant. Some got stuck on the payment screen, spinning in circles. By the time they entered two seconds later, it was already sold out!
The sky was falling!!
Damn phone, I’m replacing you sooner or later!
「Lv5. Momiji: Streamer, I didn’t get any. Please restock 100 more portions, I’m begging you! It’s too hard to grab! (Crying yellow bean emoji)」
Xi Yang relaxed his tense body and finally had time to glance at the chat.
He felt relieved. Good thing his company’s internet was fast—otherwise, like the viewers before him, he wouldn’t even get a taste, only drooling while watching the streamer.
Suddenly, a mischievous urge struck him.
「Lv41. Young Master Yang: So lucky—I bought two portions.」
That one comment stirred up a storm.
The same-city viewers in the livestream who hadn’t managed to buy exploded.
Netizens from other cities were relatively fine, after all, they couldn’t place orders, and even if they did, the items couldn’t be delivered. Their mindset was a bit more relaxed, at least enough to enjoy the show.
“Lv3. She Has Eyebrows Like Distant Mountains (One Book): Damn it! You’re too greedy. I’ll forgive you if you share some with me.”
“Lv4. Tu Bieshu (The Most Handsome Guy Online): Oh! The one above, your scheming is so obvious it’s blinding me.”
