After surviving my ordeal, I learned that the school beauty had given birth to twins for me.

Chapter 141 Variety Show Invitation

Gui Gui nodded: "And the grandpa sweeping the floor over there, and the uncle delivering packages, they were here yesterday."

Shen Yu squatted down, patted the two children's heads, and said with a smile, "They are good people who came to protect us. If you encounter any danger in the future, ask them for help, okay?"

"Okay!" The two children nodded obediently.

They only thought these uncles were police officers, completely unaware that these men were top-notch soldiers selected from special forces, each capable of taking on a hundred men.

Jiang Xinlan came out of the house and saw this scene. She smiled and said, "The military is really thoughtful. Now we don't have to worry about security when we go out."

"Hmm." Shen Yu nodded, putting his arm around her waist. "That's good, it saves us from having some random people bothering us."

A week of peaceful days passed.

The military's protection was impeccable, causing no trouble for Shen Yu's family.

Drug rehabilitation prescriptions have been widely adopted in drug rehabilitation centers across the country, and countless patients have received treatment, giving countless families a new lease on life.

That afternoon, Jiang Xinlan's agent, Sister Zhang, rushed into the Jiang family's old house in high heels, carrying a large briefcase with the company logo on it, her face full of barely suppressed joy.

"Xinlan! Amazing news! It's hit us like a ton of bricks!"

As soon as Sister Zhang entered the door, she shouted, still out of breath.

"The top team at Beijing TV, the one that made the hit show 'Fireworks and People,' immediately sent us an exclusive invitation for their newly launched S-level slow-paced variety show, 'Mountain Dwelling Years,' specifically requesting you to be their only female regular guest!"

Jiang Xinlan was braiding Nian Nian's hair on the living room carpet when she heard this. She paused, looking up in surprise.

"Mountain Dwelling Years? I've heard about this project from people in the industry before. Wasn't it still in the investment promotion stage? How come they've already confirmed the guests?"

"That's precisely why they're so eager to have you—because you're a top-tier team!"

Sister Zhang plopped down on the sofa, took the lemonade handed to her by the old housekeeper, gulped it down, and then continued speaking.

"The sponsorship deal was closed long ago. All eight sponsors are top-tier luxury brands, and the budget has been fully booked. This is Beijing TV's number one priority project this year."

Their director said that after watching your previous interviews, he felt that your down-to-earth personality best suited the tone of the variety show. Moreover, as the daughter of the Jiang family and having twins, you have a high level of public interest and are their top choice; no one else even qualifies as a backup.

She leaned forward, lowered her voice, and said in a tone full of excitement:

"Most importantly, the filming location for this variety show is Wuling Mountain Residence in the suburbs of Beijing! It's only a 20-minute drive on the highway!"

No business trips, no dormitory accommodations, and you can go home every day after filming! The production team also said that filming is flexible throughout; if you have other work commitments, you can take time off to adjust your schedule, and it definitely won't interfere with your filming.

"And also,"

Sister Zhang's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

"They know you have two children, so they specifically said you can bring Niannian and Guigui along, and all the children's needs will be met."

They had already renovated the children's room in the mountain retreat, installed a full set of protective facilities, and hired a dedicated childcare worker and pediatrician to be on call 24 hours a day.

Filming schedules have been entirely adjusted to weekends and summer/winter breaks, so it won't interfere with the children's schooling. The pay is also the highest this year for a variety show, more than three times the amount you received as a guest star on your last show!

Jiang Xinlan's heart pounded as she listened.

During this period, she turned down all acting and variety show offers that required long-term business trips, just to spend more time with Shen Yu and their two children and make up for the regrets of the past six years.

But she is also career-minded, so it's appropriate for her not to go out to work.

This variety show doesn't require traveling far, and it even allows you to take your child to play in the mountains, making it practically tailor-made for her.

But she subconsciously glanced at Shen Yu, who was sitting in the wicker chair next to her reading a book, her eyes showing a hint of hesitation:

"But Shen Yu doesn't like being on camera or having the camera pointed at him. He turned down many variety shows that approached him before."

"Oh dear, I've already confirmed this with the production team multiple times!"

Sister Zhang quickly patted her chest and assured him.

"The production team said that Mr. Shen is completely free! He doesn't need to appear on camera the whole time, doesn't need to accept any interviews, doesn't need to participate in any games, and doesn't even need to greet other guests."

As long as he's willing to come along, cook for you, and take care of the kids, the camera will avoid filming him if possible. If he really refuses, all his scenes can be cut out in post-production, not a single one!

"Really?" Jiang Xinlan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Of course it's true! I wouldn't lie to you!" Sister Zhang said.

"Everyone in the industry knows Mr. Shen is a low-key person. The production team is trying to curry favor with him, how could they dare to force him? The director specifically told me that as long as you come, all conditions are negotiable, Mr. Shen can do whatever he wants, and absolutely no one will bother him."

Jiang Xinlan's last bit of concern disappeared.

She walked to Shen Yu's side, squatted down, took his arm, and gently shook it, her voice soft and coquettish:

"Shen Yu, how about this variety show? It's right here in Beijing, so we don't have to go far. We can even take Niannian and Guigui to the mountains. They've never been to the mountains before, so they'll definitely love it."

Upon hearing about playing in the mountains, Niannian immediately dropped the ribbon in her hand, ran over, hugged Shen Yu's leg, and tilted her little face up, her eyes sparkling like two little stars.

"Daddy, Daddy! I want to go to the mountains to play! I want to feed the rabbits, pick wildflowers, and collect pebbles!"

Gui Gui put down her picture book, walked over, and took Shen Yu's other hand, her little face full of anticipation.

"I want to go too. I want to climb mountains, catch fish in the streams, and see the squirrels in the mountains."

Shen Yu closed the book, looked at the three people staring at him expectantly, and smiled helplessly.

He absolutely did not want to go; facing a bunch of cameras was too troublesome and could easily expose his secrets.

But looking at Jiang Xinlan's expectant eyes and the two children's excited faces, he really couldn't bear to refuse.
