The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7238 - 7239

charlie even hesitated about the next day’s performance.

He considered having Gu Qiuyi and Tawana replaced by other dancers, but both strongly opposed the idea.

Gu Qiuyi believed that no one else could achieve the same effect on stage as charlie.

Meanwhile, Tawana understood that it was likely her overly enthusiastic behavior on stage the night before that had caused trouble for him.

She said sincerely, “Don’t worry, Mr. Ye, I promise I won’t go overboard today…”

Seeing Tawana’s earnest attitude, charlie felt that refusing her again would make him seem petty, so he nodded and said, “Alright then, it’s settled. No overly intimate interactions in the upcoming performances.”

Tawana nodded eagerly and assured him, “Don’t worry, it won’t happen again. My agent even talked to me about it yesterday…”

charlie’s wary expression made Gu Qiuyi chuckle. She covered her mouth and smiled, “So there is something Brother charlie is afraid of.”

Then she took Tawana’s arm and teased, “I’ve never seen Brother charlie this nervous before. I guess your boldness really gave him a scare.”

charlie rolled his eyes at her, muttering inwardly, It’s not just her I’m afraid of… you’re no better. You’ve probably picked up all her bad habits.

Because the previous night’s performance was so electrifying and had stayed on the global entertainment hot search for an entire day, the audience was now eagerly anticipating Gu Qiuyi’s next performance—and especially excited to see Tawana’s wild energy live.

When Gu Qiuyi performed the song “Assassin” again, charlie’s appearance on stage drew thunderous cheers from the crowd.

Though the audience didn’t know who charlie was, his figure, presence, and every move during the sword dance felt flawless and captivating. As the younger crowd might say—his performance radiated pure sexual tension.

Even though charlie’s face was hidden, his entire presence was mesmerizing. The mask added an air of mystery that only made him seem more perfect, sparking even more curiosity.

After all, everyone has different preferences when it comes to looks. Some men are handsome but lack masculinity; others are rugged but not classically attractive. Some people like long faces, others prefer square ones. Some like thick brows and large eyes, while others are drawn to single eyelids.

If charlie didn’t wear a mask, there would inevitably be people who found fault with his appearance.

But once he put on the mask, there was nothing to criticize about him.

When charlie began his sword dance, it became a unique audio-visual spectacle for the audience.

As soon as Tawana stepped onto the stage, the crowd erupted into deafening cheers. The audience was eagerly anticipating passionate scenes between her and the male dancers. However, Tawana was noticeably more restrained this time. Although there was some physical contact with charlie during the performance, she ultimately held back and didn’t attempt to kiss him.

As the song neared its end, the anticipated kiss hadn’t happened. Fans in the audience began waving their light sticks, and someone shouted “Kiss!” in English. Soon, the entire crowd joined in, chanting “Kiss! Kiss!” in unison.

Tawana had just finished singing, and it was time for charlie and Gu Qiuyi to leave the stage and let Tawana continue solo.

However, the crowd, driven purely by excitement and curiosity, kept fueling the atmosphere, hoping for a thrilling moment.

Hearing the overwhelming chants, Tawana leaned in and whispered to charlie, “Mr. Ye, could you give me a quick kiss? The audience is so worked up—if I don’t give them something, I’m afraid it’ll be hard to get through…”

As she spoke, her expression was both pitiful and imploring.

I promised I wouldn’t kiss him like yesterday, she thought, but asking for permission should be fine, right?

If he’s okay with it, great. If not, I won’t push it.

Anyway, with so many fans backing me, making this request doesn’t seem out of line. It’s just a matter of whether charlie will show some mercy.

charlie, meanwhile, felt incredibly uncomfortable—like sitting on pins and needles. Why are these fans so nosy?

Most idols have fans who hope they avoid romantic entanglements, but Tawana’s fans seemed to just want entertainment and drama.

Then again, charlie couldn’t entirely blame them. Tawana herself had built an image of having a colorful romantic life. Her fans didn’t just love her music—they enjoyed watching her flirt. Seeing her tease someone on stage was even more entertaining than her actual dating life.

As the chants of “Kiss!” thundered through the arena, charlie glanced at Tawana’s pleading face. Even Gu Qiuyi, standing nearby, was watching him with an amused smile as if enjoying the spectacle.

Reluctantly, and wanting to end the awkward moment quickly, charlie muttered under his breath, “Fine, fine. Just make it quick.”

Tawana lit up with delight, immediately stood on tiptoe, and gently kissed charlie through his mask.

The crowd of tens of thousands roared with satisfaction, and the waves of cheering rolled on and on.

charlie felt both helpless and relieved as he quickly took the elevator with Gu Qiuyi to leave the stage.

Because yesterday’s kiss had been passionate and today’s was light, the video from today didn’t cause as much of a sensation.

However, since kisses occurred on both days, the audience began to believe it was all part of the stage choreography.

Back in the lounge, Gu Qiuyi scrolled through Weibo’s trending list while smiling and said, “Brother charlie, the fans think this is all part of the act now. I bet you’ll have to kiss Tawana again during the next two performances.”

charlie, no longer bothered, replied casually, “Whatever. With the mask between us, it’s not even a real kiss.”

Gu Qiuyi immediately snuggled up to him like a little rabbit and, putting on a smug expression, said in a sweet voice, “Poor Tawana. She can only kiss Brother charlie through a mask. But I get to kiss him for real.”

As she spoke, she leaned in close, her lips nearly touching his, her warm breath brushing against his face as if she could kiss him at any moment.

“You…” charlie hadn’t expected this little girl to become so bold after their kiss yesterday. Instead of being shy, she was now openly teasing him, just the two of them alone.

Instinctively, he took a small step back and said seriously, “Nannan, can’t we be a little more reserved?”

But Gu Qiuyi wasn’t fazed. She leaned her face against his chest and whispered, “Since you already asked me for a son, what’s the point of being reserved?”

charlie was left speechless. All he could do was rub his temples and sigh quietly.

At the same time, he made a silent vow in his heart: no matter who it was, he would never agree to such a request again.

…

Tawana’s performance schedule consisted of two shows, followed by a rest day, and then two more shows in a row.

So on the third day, she had a day off.

To impress charlie further, she organized a full-day tour of Yanjing, which was to be livestreamed globally.

Early the next morning, Tawana, along with her agent, assistant, bodyguards, and a group of over twenty people, set off for the Great Wall.

Multiple cameras broadcasted the entire event live across several platforms, drawing over ten million online viewers from around the world.

During the live broadcast, Tawana appeared genuinely enthusiastic, showering praise on everything she saw. Her reactions gave foreign viewers—especially those who had never been to China or Yanjing—a vivid glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the Great Wall.

After the Great Wall visit, her convoy quickly returned to the city. They first toured the Summer Palace and then continued on to the Old Summer Palace.

Many assumed Tawana didn’t understand Chinese history or the background of the Old Summer Palace. They believed she included it in her itinerary simply because it was well-known and conveniently located near the Summer Palace.

However, few knew that Tawana had actually done thorough preparation in advance.

Aware of charlie’s strong patriotism, she deliberately arranged a global live broadcast and strategically chose the Old Summer Palace as a stop—just to express her stance and win charlie’s admiration.

Upon entering the Old Summer Palace, she still appeared clueless, like an innocent little rabbit. She praised the beauty of the place and asked the tour guide about its history.

The guide, assuming the American star was unfamiliar with the site’s tragic past, explained the origins of the Old Summer Palace and recounted how it was destroyed.

The camera focused on the ruins of the Grand Fountain—one of the most iconic remnants of the Old Summer Palace.

As soon as the ruins appeared on screen, the live chat was flooded with comments from netizens around the world, expressing their sorrow in multiple languages.

Feigning surprise, Tawana asked the guide, “Excuse me, who burned this place down?”

The guide replied, “It was destroyed by the British and French forces in 1860. During the Second Opium War, they invaded Beijing, looted the palace, and set it on fire. Many of the artifacts from that time are now housed in the British Museum.”

Tawana widened her eyes in mock shock and asked, “The British and French did this? Have they ever apologized for it?”

“Of course not,” the guide responded. “Britain and France colonized much of the world, committing murder, looting, and countless other atrocities. As far as I know, they’ve never publicly apologized, nor have they returned any of the stolen relics. Many are still on display in the British Museum.”

“Oh my God!” Tawana exclaimed with indignation. “That’s outrageous! In the past, if someone made a mistake, they could be forgiven with a sincere apology—but how can they be so shameless? Not only did they never say sorry or return what they stole, but they’re proudly displaying it in their own museum? Are they actually proud of their history of colonization and plunder? Is this what they call British gentlemanly spirit?”
