Shi Miming was outsider new money. He didn't believe in traditional geomancy and claimed his fate was hard enough to withstand anything. He would even buy a notorious haunted property if it was a bargain, let alone a "beloved wife" license plate that could help him do a round of marketing.
Because of that plate, everyone affectionately called the car the "Beloved Wife."
The host standing beside the red carpet beamed into the camera. "The Shi-Li husbands' 'Beloved Wife' has arrived…"
Inside the "Beloved Wife," Shi Miming looked perfectly calm, while Li Que looked displeased.
Yet the instant the door opened, both men put on their business smiles. They linked arms, looking as loving as Yang Guo and his great eagle companion.
One was doing it to market the identity of a wealthy power couple and promote his brand. There was no shame in making money.
The other was doing it for his five million a month in spending money. There was no loss in spending money.
Their love might not be "stronger than gold," but it was unquestionably "bound together by gold"—and that alone made them more solid than ninety-nine percent of couples on the market.
As they stepped onto the red carpet, most people's attention immediately went to Li Que.
He wore a vivid scarlet suit, impossible to overlook.
When an ordinary man wore such eye-catching red, it usually drew attention in a way that could easily become strange.
But when Li Que wore red, people simply nodded in agreement: some people were born to wear this color.
He was like flame, like a rose, and like a cherry.
Merely standing there was like lighting a brilliant fire inside a pitch-black cave; every gaze was drawn to him in an instant.
Unlike Li Que's fashionable flamboyance, Shi Miming wore a safer, fail-proof three-piece bespoke suit. The jacket was a shadowy deep blue, like a profound night sky. Its elegant cut lay lightly against his figure, perfectly tailored to outline his tall, straight build.
Li Que complained inwardly: He bought this bespoke suit and wears it to every banquet, year after year after year… I suspect Shi Miming works so hard to stay fit because he doesn't want to pay for another bespoke suit.
