On the day she was nominated for the Golden Poplar Award, the entire internet was waiting for Yu Nian and Luo Sheng to make their relationship official. However, with a turn of events, Luo Sheng wa...
The sun was shining brightly, the timing was perfect, a quiet and uneventful morning, with some people laughing and some making a ruckus...
Baijiu saw the message from the unknown number the next morning.
She turned her head to look at Luo Sheng sleeping beside her, her eyebrows curving and her lips parted in an irrepressible smile.
Luo Sheng was still fast asleep when Bai Jiu heard her phone vibrate. The noise made her furrow her brow, and she instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.
She moved Luo Sheng's hand away from her waist with very small movements, and moved quietly until she was completely free from the bed. Then she picked up her vibrating phone and walked to the balcony.
The phone screen flickered with vibration, and the bright note was clearly displayed on it. Baijiu looked at the big words "Nanny Hongjie" and her good mood for the whole morning was shattered.
She glanced at the bed, and after confirming that the person was still asleep, she impatiently answered the phone.
"What's up?"
"Miss Bai, you finally answered the phone! The young master woke up this morning and started calling for his mother again. I can't soothe him no matter what I do. He won't drink his formula either. What should I do?"
"Okay, okay, don't cry, our little Yu won't cry, don't cry..."
The person on the phone was clearly very anxious. While on the phone, Sister Hong held the child and tried to soothe him. She tried everything—milk powder, candy, toys—but nothing worked. If this continued, she would soon be unable to continue working.
Baijiu, afraid of disturbing Luo Sheng inside, lowered his voice.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me unless it's important? Can't you think of another way? Where's Luo Bin? Has he gone back to America? He dotes on his precious son the most, why is he nowhere to be seen? Is he out fooling around with other women again?" Thinking of this, Bai Jiu became angrier and angrier. If Luo Bin hadn't made so many promises to her with his smooth talk, she wouldn't have been fooled into giving birth to such a burden.
The thought of him cheating on her with other women while she was pregnant for ten months made her grit her teeth in anger.
The nanny on the phone was helpless and distressed. What kind of mother is this? Shouldn't she be concerned about the child first? Why did she suddenly change the subject and start scolding her husband?
"Sir, sir came back yesterday. He came back and saw the young master for a while, but the young master kept crying. Sir couldn't do anything about it. He said he was going out to buy toys for the young master, and then he hasn't come back yet."
The nanny's voice grew softer and softer, and her desire to run away grew stronger. This family, oh dear, what will happen to the child if she leaves?
Inside the house, Luo Sheng, still half asleep, vaguely heard the sound of baijiu (Chinese liquor). He shifted his body, rubbed his temples which ached terribly from the alcohol, and made a move to get up.
"Alright, just bear with it a little longer. Take good care of him first. Once I've settled things here, I'll bring you and Xiaoyu back to China."
Sister Hong gritted her teeth and glanced at the child whose face was red from crying.
"Yes, Miss Bai."
Hearing a noise inside, Bai Jiu glanced back and saw that Luo Sheng had already sat up. She gave him a perfunctory reply and then hung up the phone.
"That's all for now, I have other things to do. Remember, don't call me all the time, if there's anything over there, go find Luo Bin."
She hung up the phone, and all the messages from last night popped up in her head.
"Miss Bai, shall we talk?"
Attached below is a picture, which is full of photos of her and Luo Sheng entering and leaving the Yunji Hotel.
This person's intentions are obvious.
She zoomed in on the photos to admire them, thinking that the paparazzi had probably sent them to the wrong people, but they were still quite good.
She originally didn't want to deal with these people; they thought it was too easy for them to take money from her.
If paparazzi were to expose her relationship with Luo Sheng, frankly, it wouldn't yield much benefit other than causing her a lot of trouble later.
Rather than being attacked by the entire internet and playing a bad hand, she would rather make good use of this photo to fuel the fire. She would prefer that Luo Sheng personally acknowledge the relationship.
As for when to use these photos, since we've approached her, it's up to her to decide.
Baijiu's mood immediately improved. She pulled up the unfamiliar number separately, edited the message, and sent it.
"The photos are excellent, I'm very satisfied. If you want to make a fortune, you'd better wait for my notification before sending the photos. After the deal is done, you will be given a satisfactory reward."
After finishing, Baijiu returned to the room. Looking at Luo Sheng, who still looked like he hadn't woken up yet, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Sheng, you're awake? You worked hard yesterday, do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Luo Sheng recalled everything that happened last night. His memory was a bit confused, but he still knew what the two of them had done last night.
After listening to Baijiu's words, he picked up his phone, glanced at the time, shook his head, and realized he couldn't sleep anymore; he had to go back to the studio to work on the Golden Tree Award.
"Shall I have someone bring breakfast up? You can eat breakfast before you leave?" Baijiu asked considerately as she tidied his clothes.
Luo Sheng watched Bai Jiu's busy movements, as if everything was proceeding as he had envisioned.
"No need, I have to go to work."
His tone was somewhat flat, and seeing that there was no change in his expression, Baijiu reluctantly agreed, though she was unwilling.
"Okay, then remember to buy breakfast on the way."
"Um."
Meanwhile, the paparazzi on the other side were also completely bewildered when they received Baijiu's reply.
She's satisfied? Does that mean she doesn't mind them posting the photos?
Paparazzo Number Four's mind went blank again. "Bro, are you kidding me? Anyone would be afraid of their scandals being exposed. Won't this affect her career, hahaha?"
The paparazzi rolled his eyes at him: "Are you still asleep? It was my carelessness. This innocent girl is just starting out in the domestic entertainment industry and is desperate for someone to give her a hand. Naturally, she can't wait for us to expose this."
Paparazzo number two nodded in agreement. "This liquor is tough to handle... So, bro, should we do as she says?"
The paparazzi stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Of course we'll do it. When have we ever stopped doing something that can earn us extra money? But if she doesn't mind, then someone else will."
Baijiu's indifference doesn't mean Luo Sheng and the Luo family don't mind. Baijiu's actions, however, reminded him that there are three ways to make money; the brothers are about to strike it rich!
He smiled and instructed his men, "You guys just wait. When the time is right, we'll get to work. But remember, don't let this get out of the loop. If the higher-ups ask, just say you didn't get any footage."
The brothers nodded, and just then it was lunchtime. With the anticipation of getting rich, they ordered takeout again.
I'm not having Longjiang braised pork trotters rice today, let's try something different.
Today we're having Chongqing chicken hot pot!
