Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

They had booked a banquet hall in the most high-end six-star hotel in Peijing. Xu Xiyan did not know how her good friends had gotten the news, but they had all come.

Ma Haodong dragged Xiao Yuqian to the venue, grinning as he gave his blessing, “Congratulations, President Huo! May you have children as soon as possible!”

Huang Guoqiang and Qi Liya, as well as Mu Chenguang and Wandou and the others, had also come to give their blessings.

Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan came together. Even the elders of the Huo and Jing family had come too.

Seeing the scene was becoming more and more out of control, Xu Xiyan asked her husband, “Why have they all come?”

Huo Yunshen looked helpless. “They probably thought that we are getting married today.”

Xu Xiyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. “Well, okay then! We’ll just have to treat it as if we’re getting married today!”

After shooting for so long, this was the only day that their acting was real. Huo Yunshen and Xu Xiyan were just like a newly married couple, welcoming their guests hailing from all sorts of places.

Not long after, several children ran over, followed by several adults behind them. They turned out to be Tang Yichen and his wife, as well as Huo Yi Jing and her husband Lu Mingsheng. Even the rarely seen Tang Shixue had also appeared before them.

Everyone had gotten a notice from Huo Sanyan, so they had immediately come to give their blessings.

Ying Bao ran over with several little boys. When she saw her parents, she grabbed their hands and protested, “Daddy, Mommy, why didn’t you bring Baby to your wedding?”

What the little girl was protesting was this: she had heard that her parents had gotten married in a church but they did not inform her. She felt that she was being abandoned again. Sob, sob, sob, Baby is not happy.

“That’s because Mommy and Daddy wanted to give you a big surprise!”

Huo Yunshen was very good at coaxing children and he managed to placate Ying Bao in no time. Once again, Ying Bao bounded off with her friends happily and they went to play.

Tang Yichen took his wife and came over to them. He bumped fists with Huo Yunshen and said, “Dude, you’re really being insincere for not telling us that you’re getting married.”

“Yet you still had the gall to come without invitation. Did you prepare a red packet?” Huo Yunshen scolded him deliberately.

Tang Yichen laughed, “Ha... we’re buddies, why do you need a red packet? I’m here to give you face.”

“Get lost!” Huo Yunshen said bluntly.

Tang Yichen laughed out loud as he wrapped an arm around his wife and “got lost” into the banquet hall.

Lastly, Tang Shixue came in front of the couple and gave her blessing magnanimously. “I really didn’t think that you two would get married without telling anyone.”

Xu Xiyan smiled and pulled Tang Shixue into the banquet hall. “I didn’t think of it myself either. We were shooting a scene and for some reason it just happened.”

In fact, they were not marrying for real today. The grand wedding Huo Yunshen wanted to give Xu Xiyan would happen one day in the future.

The banquet was very lively. All friends and family who came to the banquet got to know that Huo Yunshen and Xu Xiyan had shot a romance film together in secret and they wondered when they had done it.

Needless to say, as the eldest sister, Huo Yijing directly snatched the publishing rights of this film.

She must give this film the best publicity and packaging for her own brother, and make it a meaningful commemoration for him and Jing Xi’s love.

At the end of the celebration banquet, Huo Yunshen accompanied his wife to attend the premiere of Landscape.

At Yiyun Studios, the premiere was a full house.

The main actors of the film and the director and creative staff were all present. Talented artists from the film critic and media circles were also invited.

In addition, many A-list stars were also invited to come support the premier.

As the director of the film, Huang Guoqiang had secretly shot such a romantic love story while the historical palace drama, The Beauty of the World, was being broadcasted. It could be said that everyone was impressed with his feat.

Chapter 1031: Satisfying to Watch

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

It was the first time Huang Guoqiang directed a romantic film.

The people guessed that Qi Liya must be the reason for Huang Guoqiang taking on the new challenge.

Yet, the two people that were at the center of attention that night were still the International Movie King, Su Jimo, and the new goddess, Jing Xi.

The host knew that Huo Yunshen was sitting amongst the guests.

He turned to the crowd and asked, “Mr. Huo, will you get jealous if we have Mr. Su and Ms. Jing play some intimacy game later?”

Every person turned their head to Huo Yunshen, but he just kept on smiling.

Xu Xiyan took over the microphone and said, “He won’t get jealous, but he might just not let you leave the venue safely.”

“Oh my god! The weather sure is good today…” the host quickly changed the topic and made the crowd laugh.

The premiere began with a Q&A session before showing a few behind the scene clips from Landscape.

The premiere was a huge success, attracting a lot of attention towards the film.

The premiere ended with the announcement of the release date, which was on the 1st of February.

“The Legendary Star Chef” began to air on Boxing Day. The show attracted a lot of views due to Xu Xiyan’s fame.

The most discussed topic on the show was Xu Xiyan, mostly on her cooking ability and how she entrapped Huo Yunshen with her tasty foods.

But most viewers also noticed from the first episode that Zhong Qingzi gave Xu Xiyan a very low score.

They couldn’t believe that a food blogger would dare to give a lower score than two other judges who were both well-known head chefs.

The only explanation that the viewers could find for Zhong Qingzi’s action was that she forgot to bring her brain to the show.

The same thing happened to Xu Xiyan on the second and third episodes. Zhong Qingzi still tried to give Xu Xiyan troubles, but Xu Xiyan countered them perfectly.

Especially on the part where Xu Xiyan served the tofu dish disguised as Foie Gras, it was very satisfying to watch.

The viewers were disappointed when Xu Xiyan did not win first place in the final episode, but Huo Yunshen’s guest appearance mellowed their disappointment out.

It was during that episode people realized that Huo Yunshen was more perfect than they ever imagined.

[Oh my god! He’s even good at cooking! He really is my idol!]

[And here I thought Huo Yunshen was being enchanted by Jing Xi’s food, it actually is the other way around?]

[Did you guys see how Mr. Huo helped Jing Xi with the onion? It’s so sweet!]

[Oh! Please, God! Bless me with a husband like Huo Yunshen!]

…

Just as the netizens were talking about the couple online, a scandal surfaced.

The news talked about how Zhong Qingzi violated the competition’s rule by not revealing that Shen Mengyuan was related to her by blood.
