You were supposed to have a fake marriage with the diva, so how did you become her father?

Chapter 31: The title track of the new album

Hearing Tan Yu's words, Lu Ran was startled.

Could it be that this kid discovered something? Does he know about my marriage to Shen Yuege?

Lu Ran picked up the phone and glanced at Shen Yuege's Weibo.

To be honest, Lu Ran was quite surprised, as Shen Yuege had rarely asked about his affairs before.

However, if Lu Ran knew that Shen Yuege had discovered he was "Heavenly Silkworm Potato," he might have a different thought—Holy crap, he's gone mad!

"What other relationship could there be? Shen Yuege is my wife!" Lu Ran admitted helplessly.

"Tch, Brother Lu, I'm not trying to be mean, but even though you're a bit better looking and more talented than me, Shen Yuege is the most popular rising star in recent years. If she really is your wife, I'll eat her on live stream!" Tan Yu clearly didn't believe Lu Ran's words.

"Brother Lu's tone... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before? Right, that lousy author of 'Battle Through the Heavens' said the same thing," Zhao Dapeng, who had just come in, added.

"Isn't that obvious? Isn't Brother Lu that lousy author?" Liu Jun rolled his eyes at Zhao Dapeng. "Brother Lu, if you really want to find a superstar wife, I can introduce you to my sister. Although she's not as famous as Shen Yuege, you met her the other day, she's super cool!"

Lu Ran was speechless. Liu Siqi was a potential superstar, but in her brother's mouth, it was as if no one wanted her.

"However, Shen Yuege's Weibo post will probably be of much help to us. I have a feeling that we'll soon be number one on the category charts," Sun Tianyu analyzed. Compared to the other three, he was quite calm.

"Go, go, while the hype is still going strong, let's cut out some more funny clips and post them out, give them some votes, and spread the word."

After seeing the others off, Lu Ran sat back down at his workstation, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Logically speaking, the two should have as little interaction as possible because of their "contractual marriage," but this time, the other party actually supported him in public.

Could it be... that her egg-frying skills have improved? Is Shen Yuege trying to back out?

Lu Ran shook his head, dismissing the absurd idea.

However, regardless of the circumstances, he remembered Shen Yuege's timely help.

After finishing his workday, Lu Ran returned home and saw Shen Yuege organizing the recording samples of these songs in the living room.

Since Shen Yuege hung up on Hu Zhengming, she has completely broken ties with the company.

Only Chen Jing is helping her with the new album, but these difficulties are no big deal to Shen Yuege now.

As long as there isn't another accident like the last album leak, Shen Yuege is confident that she can push this album to the peak of her career, no matter who tries.

These past few days, Lu Ran has seen Shen Yuege every time he comes home from get off work, and the two of them seem like a newlywed couple.

"You're back?" Shen Yuege smiled and looked up to greet Lu Ran when she saw him return home, but she didn't stop working.

"Hmm, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll show you what I can cook!" Lu Ran smoothly tied on her apron and started taking ingredients from the refrigerator.

"Anything works!"

Okay, that's asking for too much.

Lu Ran thought for a moment and came up with a four-dish-and-one-soup meal.

During the meal, noticing that Shen Yuege was clearly out of sorts and somewhat lost in thought, someone took the initiative to ask, "How's the new album coming along? Why do you look so worried?"

Shen Yuege put down her chopsticks and sighed softly, "Oh, don't even mention it."

Shen Yuege's reaction surprised Lu Ran.

The new album is in trouble? That doesn't make sense. Her songs can't possibly be the same as those in this world, and the quality of the songs couldn't possibly be something she'd be dissatisfied with.

Seeing Lu Ran's reaction, Shen Yuege knew he had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "It's not that the songs are bad, but the songs that Tomorrow will give us this time are all of very high quality."

"I originally planned to buy one or two songs from him to be my title track, but he sent me six or seven songs, all of which are great and each one has the potential to be a title track."

Sometimes, being too happy can be a little troublesome.

Oh.

It's not a problem with the songs; it seems like they gave her too many songs, making her feel overwhelmed with happiness.

Lu Ran casually added a piece of pork rib and suggested, "What's so difficult about this? If you're looking for that Tomorrow, why don't you just ask them for another hit song?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuege rolled her eyes at him: "Do you think high-quality songs like cabbages are common? You think you can just write them out of thin air? 'The First Dream' is good enough, right? The other songs he sent me this time are no worse than this one. Tell me, what kind of song can be the title track for these songs?!"

Lu Ran was taken aback and didn't know what to say for a moment: "Well, what if... this Tomorrow seems quite complicated. You can't use ordinary thinking to speculate about him."

"Just eat your food. You're too young to understand the music industry!" Shen Yuege glared at him irritably.

"Where's the small one?" Lu Ran thought to himself, "You'd be shocked if I pulled out the really big one!"

Although Shen Yuege did not agree with Lu Ran's words, she did secretly hope that such a possibility existed.

Thinking of this, she quickly finished the rice in her bowl: "I'm full, could you please clean up first?"

After saying that, he got up, picked up his laptop, and turned to walk towards the bedroom, seemingly intending to ask about tomorrow.

Lu Ran watched Shen Yuege's hurried figure and smiled: "By the way, thank you for today."

Shen Yuege knew what Lu Ran was thanking her for, and turned around to say, "No need to thank me. This Weibo post today is half because of you and half because of another man."

Lu Ran was stunned as he watched Shen Yuege close the door.

Another man? Besides herself, Shen Yuege has fallen for someone else?

Wait, why did I use the word "still"? Shouldn't it be that Shen Yuege has fallen for someone else?

Could it be that kid Tan Yu?

Zhao Dapeng probably wouldn't do that, right?

Liu Jun? That mediocre singer?

Could it be that Sun Tianyu who's been smoldering? I think something's off about that kid.

At this moment, the Starry F4, who were far away at home, couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

Lu Ran stood there thinking and thinking, but he couldn't figure out that the other half Shen Yuege mentioned was his other identity—Heavenly Silkworm Potato.

If you can't figure something out, it's best not to think about it anymore.

After tidying up the kitchen, Lu Ran logged into his Wanwan Jingting account.

As soon as I entered, I saw the message that Shen Yuege had just sent.

"Mr. Tomorrow, I know it might be presumptuous, but I'd still like to ask if you have any other songs, since my new album only has a title track!"

Lu Ran remained silent, but simply sent the folder labeled "The Wind Rises" over.

"Wow! That's awesome!" Not long after sending the message, Lu Ran heard Shen Yuege's shouts coming from her room.

Lu Ran knew that the new album was a success.

At this moment, a recent post on Sina Weibo caught Lu Ran's attention:

Legendary Entertainment announces that rising star singer Weng Qingya will release her debut album next month!
