Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Chapter King Dad 5

Zhang Qi, still unaware of the situation, said with some concern, "Dad Rong hasn't been able to sleep well these past few days. The filming location has been exposed, and soon there will be a swarm of reporters, paparazzi, and fans arriving. They need to finish the exterior shoot quickly. Luckily, the filming is almost finished anyway, so if we catch up, we can finish it in two days. Otherwise, we'll have to find another location."

Zhuozhuo only understood the first half of the sentence. Worried, she said childishly, "I'll be exhausted if I don't sleep. Dad can't not sleep."

"Haha, it can't be helped. Everyone's a slave at work, even the movie star who brought money into the production." Zhang Qi even made a joke, but Zhuozhuo didn't understand. Tears welled up in her eyes, she said, "I need to find my dad."

"How about waiting until Dad comes back in the evening?" Zhang Qi had a bad feeling.

"I want my daddy—" Zhuozhuo ran out, crying. She pushed the door open, saw the long corridor and the identical doors, and burst into tears. Zhang Qi couldn't soothe her, so he had to call Rong Yi.

The call was answered by another assistant, Guo Xuezhong, who had rushed over overnight. Rong Yi was filming at the time. He listened to Zhuo Zhuo's crying and whispered, "Sister Xiaoqi, it will be fine once the child is tired of crying." Today's filming schedule was heavy, and he had no intention of bothering Rong Yi with such a trivial matter.

But Rong Yi seemed to have eyes on his back. When the director called "Cut" to his opponent's actor, he immediately came over and said, "Xiao Guo, who was looking for me just now? Zhuo Zhuo was looking for me?"

Guo Xuezhong didn't take it seriously and handed Rong Yi a thermos cup. "Brother Rong, Sister Xiaoqi said that Zhuozhuo was crying and wanted to come to the set to find you. He might have calmed down by now."

Rong Yi didn't answer and frowned, "Zhaozhuo is crying? Let Xiao Zhang bring her over."

“But there are paparazzi here…”

"Go buy some snacks that kids can eat, no junk food."

Guo Xuezhong subconsciously said, "Brother Rong, there's a small store and a small supermarket here, and many of the items there are about to expire. It would be better to let Sister Xiaoqi buy them near the hotel."

His words reminded Rong Yi, and he said, "You go pick them up. There are no safety seats in the car, and Xiaoqi can't drive."

"Oh, okay." Guo Xuezhong felt a little strange. He felt that Rong Yi's attitude towards Zhuozhuo was not like that of a strange child. Thinking of the speculation on the Internet, he shuddered. No way, no way, could it be?

The director yelled that filming was about to begin, and before Rong Yi left, he urged, "What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and go."

Guo Xuezhong: "..." He was just stunned for a second.

However, Guo Xuezhong was deeply aware of Zhuozhuo's importance. His body was faster than his mind, and he jumped into the car like a monkey. Even the paparazzi who were waiting there didn't notice him.

As soon as they drove out of the paparazzi's hunting range, Guo Xuezhong called Zhang Qi and asked her to pack dessert and two children's meals for Zhuozhuo at the hotel. When he heard Zhuozhuo's voice, he said very gently, "Zhuozhuo baby, don't cry. Uncle is driving to pick you up. Go wash your face, uncle will be here soon."

Zhang Qi was nauseated, but Zhuozhuo was comforted. She said in a baby voice, "I'm waiting for uncle. Uncle, drive carefully. There's no rush."

Guo Xuezhong said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, listen to my baby. Uncle drives carefully, don't run red lights, don't speed, baby, you..."

beep--

Zhang Qi couldn't stand it anymore and hung up the call.

Guo Xuezhong let out an "Aihei" and murmured to himself proudly, "Jealous, absolutely jealous, Sister Xiaoqi, look at me overtaking you and winning this year's Best Assistant bonus, hehehe."

Zhang Qi carried Zhuozhuo to the bathroom to wash her face. Meeting her puzzled gaze, she smiled wryly and said, "Zhuozhuo, it's best not to talk on the phone while driving. It can easily distract you and cause a car accident."

"Okay, Zhuozhuo will remember it." Zhuozhuo nodded seriously, as if she was going to drive the next second.

Considering that they might have to stay on the set for a whole day, Zhang Qi, after telling the hotel about their meal needs, brought some spare clothes for Zhuo Zhuo and also bought toy cars and Barbie sets from the hotel's children's playground, worried that Zhuo Zhuo would be bored on the set.

Zhuozhuo followed Zhang Qi like a little tail, watching her busying around, and said in a baby voice, "Little Sister Zhang, you brought so many things."

"These are for Zhuozhuo. We will stay in the village all day, but Daddy may not have time to accompany Zhuozhuo. Zhuozhuo, please don't cry when the time comes."

There must have been a lot of people on the set staring at Zhuozhuo. Zhang Qi couldn't help but say a few more words, worried that her crying might be filmed and posted online, where netizens would comment on her or even maliciously slander her. Just as Zhang Qi was about to get back to her work, Zhuozhuo grabbed her trouser leg. She looked down and asked, "What's wrong, Zhuozhuo?"

Zhuozhuo said lovingly, "Sister Xiao Zhang, Zhuozhuo won't cry."

Zhang Qi: “…” Do you believe this?

But Zhang Qi wanted to stop thinking when he saw Zhuozhuo's delicate and cute little face, not to mention that her serious little expression was simply adorable. Zhang Qi felt dizzy and his mind was filled with the thought that whatever she said was the truth, so why should he refute her!

Zhang Qi laughed strangely, squatted down, hugged Zhuozhuo, and said in a strangled voice, "Yes, yes, our Zhuozhuo is the best. He never cries or makes a fuss. Come, give your sister a kiss——"

"No!" Zhuozhuo put her small hand on Zhang Qi's face and pushed him away. It was obvious that Zhang Qi agreed with her and expressed his love for her, but for some reason she was still a little unhappy.

Zhang Qi didn't notice Zhuozhuo's little emotion, and just thought that they were not close enough yet. She felt in her heart that if Zhuozhuo was really Rong Yi's child, it would be great. She could work without rest 365 days a year to take care of the child and increase Zhuozhuo's favorability to the sky!

The car did not drive into the filming site, but drove along a small mountain road that was barely passable for a distance and stopped next to a small terraced field. The road was so narrow that the car door could not be opened on the side close to the mountain, and the other side opened up to a 45-degree slope.

Before getting out of the car, Zhang Qi habitually looked out the window, then immediately retracted his hand and broke out in a cold sweat. "Guo Xuezhong, you have the ability to drive the car in, but do you have the ability to drive the car out?"

"Of course I can drive out safely. This place is very hidden. I only found out about it after asking the old man in the village. Even the paparazzi can't find it." Guo Xuezhong climbed into the passenger seat, pushed open the door, stepped carefully on the slope, and then moved to the back door with a wicked grin. "Sister Xiaoqi, get out first. I'll help you."

Zhang Qi had recovered. "No need for your help, just go over there." The slope wasn't smooth, but had raised rocks and small platforms. As long as you stood carefully, you wouldn't fall. Zhang Qi got out of the car, drove Guo Xuezhong to the road, and carried Zhuozhuo down himself.

"Baby, look over there." Guo Xuezhong didn't give up even though he didn't get the cub. He pushed aside a thick clump of weeds and pointed for Zhuozhuo to see. "Daddy's over there. Do you see him?"

Zhuozhuo leaned over to look, but because she wasn't high enough, she could only see a patch of lush green. Her eyes widened and she said sadly, "Did Daddy die of exhaustion and turn into a leaf?"

Zhang Qi and Guo Xuezhong couldn't help laughing. Guo Xuezhong said, "Even if Dad dies, he won't turn into a leaf. Oh, no, Dad is still alive and well. Come, Zhuozhuo, I'll hold you and look at Dad."

Zhang Qi didn't object and was about to hand Zhuozhuo over, but Zhuozhuo turned around and hugged his neck. The little guy said softly, "I don't want Uncle Guo, I want Sister Zhang to hold me."

"Why, baby? I'm taller than Sister Xiaoqi. I can see farther from where I stand higher." Guo Xue was devastated. After all, in his plan, taking good care of Zhuozhuo was the key to his overtaking Zhang Qi in his career.

"I don't know you." Zhuozhuo stole a glance at Guo Xuezhong and whispered, "Sister Xiao Zhang, if you stand on a rock, you'll get taller."

Zhang Qi, who was firmly chosen, was so happy that he almost burst into tears. He immediately stood on the stone that Zhuozhuo mentioned, "I really saw it! Zhuozhuo is so smart!"

At the foot of the mountain, beside the rice paddies, a confrontation scene was being filmed. Rong Yi's character, He Nian, shed his gentle, prim mask, revealing a gloomy, paranoid, and frenzied demeanor. Even from such a distance, the danger could be sensed, let alone from the person in front of them. Rong Yi's co-star was repeatedly frightened and lost his voice.

Zhuozhuo was a little uneasy: "Dad looks like another person." She wanted to say that he was possessed by a ghost, but Zhang Qi enthusiastically explained the scene, directly using science to defeat metaphysics.

Zhuozhuo listened for a while, then said, seemingly understanding, "Dad is an actor in cartoons."

"……almost."

Seeing that they were in a good mood, Guo Xuezhong came over without giving up and said resentfully, "Zhuozhuo, did you call me uncle on the phone?"

"Yes." Zhuozhuo looked innocent.

"Then why don't you recognize me all of a sudden?" Guo Xuezhong was very confused. He had just thought that Zhuozhuo didn't match the person on the phone with him.

Zhuozhuo said, "Dad didn't say that." In fact, when Zhuozhuo met Guo Xuezhong in the hotel, he was not enthusiastic about him, but the two adults were in a hurry to leave and didn't notice.

Guo Xuezhong was completely bewildered, but Zhang Qi immediately reacted and asked in surprise, "Zhuozhuo, is it because your father never told you about Uncle Guo that you don't know him?"

"yes."

Zhang Qi felt indescribably touched. Yesterday, before she played with Zhuozhuo, Rong Yi had casually introduced him. Could it be that Rong Yi's words had been the reason she had been able to establish such a smooth relationship with Zhuozhuo?

What virtue and ability does Rong Yi have!

9972 was so moved that she hummed like a boiling kettle. Building trust with a child is both easy and difficult. Zhuozhuo always accepts her new father naturally, firstly because the word "dad" itself holds a special place in her heart, and secondly because she trusts 9972.

Whoever it says is the father, Zhuozhuo will give the special treatment that belongs to "Dad", and then under the guidance of this father, he will meet more new people.

One hundred percent trust, one hundred percent execution, what a magical host this is!

Guo Xuezhong suddenly realized that his work ability was not inferior to Zhang Qi's, he just lacked a little luck. He would ask Rong Yi to introduce him to Zhuozhuo later.

Zhuozhuo stared at Rong Yi intently, and after a while he suddenly said, "I want my daddy."

"Dad's busy. When he's done, he'll come look for Zhuozhuo. Let's wait here for him, okay?" Zhang Qi said carefully this time, pointing to a small flying insect and saying, "Oh, this little insect can fly. Let's go chase it, shall we?"

However, Zhuozhuo was not distracted. She just glanced in the direction of the little flying insect and said firmly: "I want my daddy. Daddy--" She began to shout in the direction of Rong Yi.

They were far away, and Rong Yi shouldn't have been able to hear them, but perhaps in a moment of telepathy, Rong Yi glanced in their direction, then lowered his head and did something. Rong Yi's movements were blocked by an overhanging branch, and the others couldn't see. As they were speculating, Guo Xuezhong's phone rang.

Rong Ge: Is Zhuozhuo here yet? If she comes looking for me, don't stop her.

Okay, since both parties insist on meeting, the assistant cannot stop them.

Guo Xuezhong didn't want his secret base exposed, so he and Zhang Qi took another winding, rugged path down the mountain. The three of them suddenly appeared on the set like divine soldiers descending from the sky. Before anyone could react, they heard a soft, childish voice, "Dad, Zhuozhuo missed you so much."

Everyone was suddenly "Wow", the melon is here!

Yesterday, some people still believed in Rong Yi's innocence, but now, after a night like this, Zhuo Zhuo is still there, being cared for by Rong Yi's two assistants. This is definitely not innocent! The child was even brought to the filming set to call him daddy. Doesn't Rong Yi know about the trending searches online today?

This is the official announcement!

The people who were tortured by the heat and constant NGs were cheered up, and their eyes were looking back and forth between Zhuozhuo and Rong Yi.

Rong Yi ignored the burning gaze that wanted to strip him naked, and embraced Zhuozhuo with open arms, his expression gentle, "I was thinking about Zhuozhuo too. Zhuozhuo came to see me, I'm so happy."

"hiss--"

Everyone gasped. Who was this? Who was speaking? How could the actor Rong, who appeared gentle but was actually distant, unromantic, and introverted, say such words?

But Zhuozhuo was only happy for a moment, then he pouted and said angrily, "Dad didn't keep his word. Dad said he was going to sleep, but he was lying to Zhuozhuo. Dad secretly came here to put on a show."

Rong Yi suddenly felt guilty, "Dad didn't lie to Zhuozhuo, Dad really slept."

Although I only took a short nap on the way here.

"Zhuozhuo didn't see it, Zhuozhuo doesn't believe it."

Rong Yi said regretfully, "There's nothing we can do. We can't go back this morning to let Zhuozhuo confirm it with his own eyes. But tonight, Zhuozhuo can watch his father sleep."

Zhuozhuo was convinced, thought for a moment and said, "Dad, can't you sleep during the day? Zhuozhuo will go to bed early at night and won't be able to watch Dad."

What Rong Yi wanted was for Zhuozhuo to go to bed early, so that he could say tomorrow, "What a pity! Dad really went to bed last night, but Zhuozhuo went to bed too early and didn't see it." So, Rong Yi said awkwardly, "No, adults don't sleep during the day. Only babies need to sleep during the day."

"Then Daddy doesn't want to be an adult anymore, Daddy is the baby."

Rong Yi couldn't help laughing, "No, babies grow up and become adults. This is an irreversible process. Adults can't become babies again.

"Sure, Daddy will be Zhuozhuo's little baby." Zhuozhuo said naively.

Rong Yi shook his head. Seeing that the director had finished setting up the scene, he said, "We'll discuss this tonight. Dad has to go to work. How about Zhuozhuo playing with Sister Xiao Zhang?"

Seeing Rong Yi was about to leave, Zhuo Zhuo became anxious, tears welling up in his eyes. He said pitifully, "No, Dad will be exhausted."

Rong Yi wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, his expression was subtle, but he could feel the burning concern.

Zhang Qi hurried over and whispered to Zhuozhuo, "Did you forget what you said before you left? Zhuozhuo said he wouldn't cry." She repeated her conversation with Zhuozhuo and deliberately said, "Are you going to break your promise too?"

Rong Yi frowned and said, "Being well behaved isn't measured by whether a child cries or not. Children cry to express their needs, so how can you ask them not to cry? Besides, Zhuozhuo is very cute and smart. She can clearly express her thoughts most of the time. She only cries when someone deliberately provokes her."

After a pause, Rong Yi said, "When I keep contradicting Zhuozhuo, she might cry. But this isn't Zhuozhuo's problem, it's my problem. I know all I have to do is go along with Zhuozhuo, but I still ignore her wishes."

The more Rong Yi talked, the more he felt he had gone too far. He said seriously, "Zhuozhuo, I'm sorry. Dad didn't listen to Zhuozhuo's advice and failed to live up to Zhuozhuo's concern. Dad was wrong. But Dad's work must be completed, because it's not just Dad's business."

He pointed at the busy crew, "Look at all the people here. Everyone is working hard to make this movie a success. Everyone is working just as hard and tired as Dad. If Dad doesn't do a good job, it will ruin everyone's hard work. But, after Dad's work is done, Zhuozhuo can make a request to Dad, okay?"

Zhuozhuo pondered Rong Yi's words and realized that Rong Yi didn't mean it this time. Her tears quickly disappeared and she said, "Okay, Dad, go do your work. Zhuozhuo will wait for you."

Rong Yi called Zhang Qi aside and warned him, "Stop asking Zhuozhuo to be obedient and sensible. Children will behave well if their needs are met. Adults only use force to demand obedience from children when they lack the ability. What's the difference between this and PUA?"

Zhang Qi had just been reflecting on this, and hearing this was like opening the door to a new world. "I understand, Brother Rong, don't worry."

When Rong Yi was filming, Zhuozhuo sat on a small bench under the shade of a tree, eating snacks while watching him. Her focused expression was adorable. The crew members, busy as they were, would find excuses to come over, some to glance at Zhuozhuo a few times, others to muster the courage to talk to her.

Zhuozhuo calls everyone brother, sister, uncle, and aunt. She is sweet-mouthed and smiles at everyone she meets. She quickly attracts more people, and her place is almost becoming a check-in spot.

At the same time, the Internet was about to explode, and the hot search terms related to Rong Yi soared like a rocket.

'Rong Yi's illegitimate daughter'

'Rong Yi secretly married and had a child'
