Chapter 46

"What are you doing?" Wen Zhenni supported his chest which was pressing against hers.

The man grabbed her hand and said, "I can't tell. It's just a rehearsal."

It looked like a fierce kiss, but it was actually just a light kiss, not going deep.

But Wen Zhenni's body, which was tense due to tension, was softened by the strength of the palm.

Her cheeks flushed. "Ciheng, you broke the rules. This is not what the script says at all."

Ci Heng kissed her eyelids lightly, her voice lazily filled with satisfaction, "The drill is over. That was just a bonus private lesson."

Wen Zhenni felt like she was being teased, and angrily pushed him away, "We have to go back to Tianhai today. I'm going to wash my face."

She put on her slippers, stomped on the floor, and rushed into the bathroom.

She didn't know what she had forgotten, but she ran out with a toothbrush in her mouth, rummaged through the messy suitcase, and when she found what she wanted, she quickly ran to the bathroom.

Ciheng watched her go back and forth several times, throwing things all over the room.

He rubbed his forehead and wanted to say something, but finally shut up and got up to clean up resignedly.

Wen Zhenni took a shower and put on a facial mask. When she came out, the room was already clean.

She was stunned for a moment, wondering what was wrong, when Ciheng pushed the door open and walked in, carrying food in her hands.

"Come and eat." He put down the bag and took out the packed food and laid it out. "Come back with me later."

Wen Zhenni sat down at the table and looked up in surprise. "Aren't you on a business trip?"

Ciheng: "I'm done."

"Okay. Then I'll talk to Orange."

She had two days off and had agreed with Chengzi last night to come over to pack her luggage before leaving today. Now that her plans had changed at the last minute, she naturally had to say hello to the people at the studio.

Wen Zhenni shoveled a few mouthfuls of food, picked up her cell phone, and tapped on the screen rapidly.

Orange quickly replied with a panda emoji saying "I understand everything":

My brother-in-law's assistant informed me last night. Hehe, I'll be right over.

Within a few minutes, the doorbell rang and Ciheng got up to open the door.

"Brother-in-law, I'm here to pick up my luggage."

After such a long time, Orange was still a little scared when he saw his face, but he still called for help obediently.

Ciheng let the person in.

Chengzi exchanged a glance with Wen Zhenni, quickly sorted out the things, stuffed them into the suitcase, and then called other colleagues in to help move the luggage.

Wen Zhenni and Ciheng took the 3 o'clock flight back to Tianhai.

During the several-hour flight, Xie Xincheng spent most of the time watching cartoons. He was quite well-behaved, but he was so sleepy that he was staggering on the car on the way back.

After the car stopped, Wen Zhenni got out and carried Xie Xincheng out of the back seat. He was quite heavy.

"I'll do it." Ciheng took the child.

Unexpectedly, the little one was quite sensitive. Feeling uncomfortable in his arms, he twisted unhappily, "I don't want you to hold me... I want my aunt."

"Behave yourself." Ciheng slapped his raised butt.

"My uncle is so annoying..." Xie Xincheng grumbled, "I'm going to tell your kids that you're a bad guy."

"Then let's talk about it after I have a child." Ciheng held his legs down.

Wen Zhenni, holding her small schoolbag, trotted after him. "You're just going out for a trip, and you're bringing homework with you. Isn't that a bit too strict?"

Tzu-Heng: "If he doesn't have homework, he'll go crazy playing. Children need to develop habits and establish mindset from a young age so that when they grow up, parents can worry less."

Wen Zhenni smiled with her lips curved: "Did our parents teach you the same way back then?"

The man turned his head and glanced at her calmly, "I've always been very good at learning on my own, so my parents never worried about me."

After entering the house, he handed the child to the servant and said, "Take him to take a bath and go to bed."

After the child was taken away, Wen Zhenni put down her schoolbag and followed him back to the bedroom. "It's good to bring the child here. It allows you to get used to being a father in advance and be mentally prepared. When you want your own child, you'll have some experience in raising children."

After hearing this, Ciheng frowned.

Wen Zhenni caught a glimpse of his expression and thought he was bothered by the child. But the next second, the man started unbuttoning his shirt.

Wen Zhenni was stunned by his sudden action, "Why are you taking off your clothes?"

Ciheng had a puzzled expression on her face, as if her question was strange. "Of course you have to take off your dirty clothes."

He lifted the hem of his shirt and there was indeed a small, obvious mud mark there.

Most likely it was rubbed against by the sole of his shoe when he was hugging Xie Xincheng.

Wen Zhenni's ears turned slightly red due to her wrong thoughts, and her expression was a little embarrassed for a moment.

"What are you thinking about?" Ci Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he could see through her thoughts, and took off his glasses. "If you are not sleepy, I can do it now."

She saw him striding towards her with his long legs.

"I'm going to take off my makeup." Wen Zhenni quickly put oil on her feet and quickly ran into the dressing room.

Xi Miao called her via video and noticed that something was wrong with her. "What's going on? Your face is as red as a monkey's butt."

"You must have seen it wrong." Wen Zhenni pressed the makeup remover pad against her face and abruptly changed the subject, "Is there something wrong?"

"My birthday is next month after next." Xi Miao glanced at her and mentioned his birthday with an extremely excited tone. "For my birthday this year, I'm planning to have a pool-themed party. Do you want to come?"

Xi Miao’s birthday is indeed in the month after next, but if she hadn’t mentioned it, Wen Zhenni really wouldn’t have remembered it.

"The end of September, that's still early."

"I'm telling you this in advance." Xi Miao knew her too well. "Big stars have tight schedules. I have to wait for you to make time."

That’s true.

Wen Zhenni thought about it and realized that by then, the filming of the play should have been completed. "Then I'll try my best to come."

"What do you mean by try your best? You have to come. Let me tell you, this time I plan to invite all kinds of handsome guys. It will definitely be a feast for the eyes of my good sisters and make the trip worthwhile."

Wen Zhenni gave a thumbs-up and said, "If there is a national competition for Best Girlfriends in China, I will definitely call on my fans to vote for you."

After removing her makeup, she came out of the dressing room with her cell phone, ready to take a shower, and saw Xie Xincheng standing outside in his pajamas.

The little guy was holding a storybook that was almost as big as his head, "Aunt, I want you to tell me a story."

Xie Xincheng had already fallen asleep in the car, but now he looked very energetic and it was unclear how long he would make noise.

Wen Zhenni took his little hand and walked towards the guest bedroom, "Where's your uncle?"

Xie Xincheng wrinkled his nose and complained to her, "He's so mean, always asking dad to spank me. I don't want him to tell me stories."

"Oh my god." Xi Miao on the other side of the video laughed happily when he heard the little guy's resentful tone, "This is how Ciheng raises children!"

Laughing at one person wasn't enough, he also had to laugh at Xie Xincheng in return, "How old are you? You still want to listen to stories?"

The little brat ignored her, pouted, and shook Wen Zhenni's hand, "Tell me, aunt."

"Then just lie down obediently." Wen Zhenni rubbed Xie Xincheng's soft hair, took off his shoes, carried him to the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

She said to the person on the other side of the screen, half jokingly and half with emotion, "See, this is life after marriage and raising a child."

Xi Miao disagreed, "Telling stories is difficult, let Aunt Xi tell you one."

She rolled her eyes. "Once upon a time, there was a little girl who sold missiles, but she didn't sell a single one. One night, when she was freezing and almost losing consciousness, she suddenly remembered her grandmother, so she ignited a missile..."

"Stop!" What kind of hellish fairy tale is this!

Seeing a trace of confusion in Xie Xincheng's eyes, Wen Zhenni quickly interrupted, "Xi Miao, that's enough. You should keep those stories that are not suitable for children's physical and mental health to yourself."

After saying that, she hung up the video and picked up the thick storybook. "Just now, that was a pirated fairy tale. Now your aunt will tell you the authentic one."

This story took quite a long time to tell. After finally coaxing the little nephew to sleep, Wen Zhenni was too sleepy to hold on any longer and fell asleep with him.

When Ciheng came over, the two, one big and one small, were sleeping soundly next to each other.

It is quiet and peaceful, creating a warm and loving picture.

If she became a mother and interacted with her children, this would probably be how she would be.

Ci Heng looked sideways for a moment, then folded up the book that was spread out beside him and placed it on the bedside table. Then he leaned over, carefully wrapped Wen Zhenni's arms around her neck, and held her legs against his chest.

As her body was suspended in the air, Wen Zhenni was vaguely conscious. She felt that this hug was very safe, and she couldn't help but wrap her arms tightly around him. She rubbed her face in the crook of his neck and murmured sleepily, "Hubby, you are so kind."

He sighed helplessly, "Wen Zhenni, stop being such a nice guy."

The person in my arms arched his back, as if lost in a dream, and muttered, "Without you... I won't be used to it."

I don’t know if it’s due to my personality, but I always say nice things.

But no matter what, Ciheng's heart was already broken.

He couldn't help but lower his head and touched his wife's soft cheek, his breath brushing her ear: "If you can't leave me, then don't leave me."

The next day was the weekend, and Ci Yu and other brothers had to go back to Zhangyuan to accompany the old lady, so early in the morning, Ci Heng quickly packed up the little troublemaker Xie Xincheng and sent him over.

During this rare holiday, Wen Zhenni suddenly decided to go home to visit her left-behind elderly father.

Who would have thought that the old father couldn't sit still and went fishing in the wild with Uncle Qiu.

When the old father heard that she and Ciheng were coming, he immediately raised his voice on the phone and said, "Xiaoheng is here too. Then you two can come to the lake to find me. We can go back together later. Dad will cook for us himself."

It can be seen that the old father is 100% satisfied with his son-in-law and will never give up the opportunity to show off to others.

Wen Zhenni couldn't do anything about him. "I know. I'll be right there."

The two changed their route and drove to the lake, but they didn't expect Qiu Sicheng to be there today.

However, judging from the situation of the Qiu family father and son, it seemed that they had just had an argument.

Qiu Sicheng was scolded so badly that he could be heard complaining in a long voice from a distance: "I'm such a grown man now, I should at least save some face in front of Uncle Jin."

After Qiu Sicheng finished complaining, he turned around and saw the couple, and he didn't have time to retract the smirk on his face.

But he had a good personality and wouldn't show his displeasure in front of outsiders. He waved at Wen Zhenni from a distance, "Ni'er, are you here to pick up Uncle Jin?"

Wen Zhenni greeted: "Brother Cheng. Hello, Uncle Qiu."

Ciheng rarely appeared in front of these elders in recent years. When Uncle Qiu saw him, he waved enthusiastically and said, "Xiaoci, you've come just in time. Come and join Uncle Qiu fishing."

"What kind of fish are you fishing for? Just take your time fishing yourself." Jin Xiao stood up and supported his waist, which was aching from sitting. While packing up his fishing rod, he said, "I have to go back and cook for my daughter and son-in-law."

Uncle Qiu's eyes turned red with envy when he heard this. "If my boy could bring a girlfriend home, I would stew dragon meat for him, not to mention cooking."

"..." Qiu Sicheng didn't say a word, but was still scolded by his own old man. He was so upset that he had no words to say.

Ciheng smiled gleefully and took the fishing tackle from his father-in-law. "Dad, I'll clean up. You go back to the car."

Seeing his fishing friends leave, Uncle Qiu felt bored being alone. "Since everyone's gone, I'll close my stall too."

While his father was packing up, Qiu Sicheng walked over to Ciheng and handed him a bottle of water. "Hey, have you asked Ni'er?"

Ciheng looked at him puzzledly: "What do you want to ask?"

"What else can I ask?" Qiu Sicheng reminded softly, "Of course, ask her if she likes you."

Since that day, Ciheng's attitude towards him has improved a little, but she still looks at him as if he is sick.

Qiu Sicheng knew that there was no such thing as soon as he saw the expression on his face. "I knew it, but you didn't dare to ask."

Ciheng's hands didn't stop moving. Although Qiu Sicheng always had a problem with him, and would occasionally get between him and Wen Zhenni, he was only straightforward with his words and posed no threat to him.

Qiu Sicheng continued, "You are such a conceited person, yet there are things you cannot control."

Qiu Sicheng was not wrong this time, he really didn't dare to ask.

He has always had a high opinion of himself, and he strives to be impeccable in his studies, career, and role as a husband in marriage.

Only in love, there is no 100% certainty.

Qiu Sicheng unscrewed the water and took a sip. "But I understand. You were born to be the heir that everyone admires. You don't need to show up in person. Your family has already provided you with everything you want."

"Even the marriage was arranged by the elders. First, there was no romance, and second, no proposal. It was easily obtained. It is really hard to bow down to this kind of life of a young master who has everything provided for him."

He wasn't being sarcastic, he was just stating the truth naturally.

Every offspring educated by a Zhuang family is a distinguished talent. Although their temperaments differ, they all share a sense of pride: a resoluteness that will not tolerate anyone stepping on their heads or bending their spines.

It's really interesting to see such a self-righteous person being humble in love.

Qiu Sicheng thought about it and felt a little excited. "It's useless to tell you. You'll know the pain when you hit the wall."

He stretched himself and walked to the shore. "I have to go too."

Ci Heng followed behind and casually asked, "Where are you going after filming?"

"Nonsense, of course I'm trying to get in touch with our Ni'er."

Qiu Sicheng smiled carefreely and freely, "Why, you missed me."

"Oh!" Ciheng snorted. What he meant was that a dog will always eat shit.

Jin Xiao had vowed to cook by herself, but she got delayed by the lake and it was already very late when she returned to the city. Her family had not prepared the ingredients in advance, so she finally accepted the invitation of the Qiu family father and son and had dinner at a restaurant outside.

Ciheng seemed to have fallen into a trap set by the Qiu family father and son. At the dinner table, Uncle Qiu pulled him aside to talk about business matters, while Qiu Sicheng sat not far away and kept pouring wine into his glass.

Seeing that the wine glass in front of Ciheng was never empty, Wen Zhenni couldn't help but say, "Brother Cheng, he can't drink so much."

"It's okay, it's just this time." Qiu Sicheng blinked, letting her relax, "Brother Cheng is also helping you."

He said he would help, but I didn't know what kind of help he was. After dinner, Ciheng got so drunk that he was dizzy and couldn't even stand up when the dinner was over.

In the end, it was Wen Zhenni and her old father who helped the old man back to his room.

His alcohol tolerance is really poor.

Wen Zhenni wiped her face, changed her clothes, and then took a shower.

When she came out, her father called her.

"Is Xiaoheng asleep?" Jin Xiao asked.

Wen Zhenni nodded and said, "Dirty some honey water and give it to him to drink."

I've never seen him drink like this before. Ciheng has a good habit of drinking. He knows his alcohol tolerance and always stops when he's drunk.

Jin Xiao also found it incredible, "This child has always been restrained, how come he drank so much today?"

"I don't know."

Wen Zhenni always felt that Qiu Sicheng had said something to him when they were in the ancient town, and he had something on his mind.

But she was also sleepy at the moment and didn't have the energy to think too much. She forced a yawn and asked, "Dad, why did you come to see me so late at night? What do you want to talk about?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal."

Jin Xiao collected his thoughts and returned to the main topic, "Remember the daughter your second uncle mentioned, the one he just recognized? Xiao Heng had already met her at the last Taihua anniversary celebration, and I didn't have the chance to formally introduce her to you."

Wen Zhenni nodded slightly, "I remember."

She knew about this. At the beginning of the year, her second uncle recognized a daughter. She had been in Tianhai for some time, but she had never seen her in person.

Since she also went to the Thai-Chinese anniversary celebration, we should have met each other.

"What does Dad want me to do?" she asked.

Jin Xiao: "This child is also developing in the entertainment industry. Your second uncle feels that he owes her and her mother something, and is worried that she will be wronged, so he has made a lot of arrangements. Since you are traveling with her, please help your second uncle take care of her."

As for the fact that he had a daughter, the second uncle was indeed unaware of it. How could he have known that his first love broke up with him while she was pregnant. She even gave birth to the child and raised it alone.

Second Uncle treated her and her brother well, so Wen Zhenni was naturally willing to help. "As long as I can help, I will definitely help."

"By the way, what's her name?" After chatting for so long, she still didn't even know the other party's basic information.

"I have a photo your second uncle sent me." Jin Xiao pulled out the photo from his phone and showed it to her. "Her name is Yu Lanfei, and she has her mother's last name."

When Wen Zhenni saw the person in the photo, she was stunned.

It turned out to be her!

Wen Zhenni's impression of Yu Lanfei is still that he is a big shot and uses marketing tactics like "bumping into porcelain" with his team.

Putting aside her impression of his character, she was more worried now, "Dad, does she know about my secret marriage?"

"Your second uncle told her."

Jin Xiao didn't understand the entertainment industry, and knew very little about this new niece. He could only judge based on the few times they met and the few words his second uncle said. "I think this girl is quite smart."

After all, since they had never really dealt with each other, Wen Zhenni couldn't guess what kind of person she was.

But she didn't want to worry her father, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, I understand. I will help my second uncle take care of her."

Jin Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay to help others, but you have to help without harming your own interests. You have to remember that your father's daughter cannot be wronged."

Wen Zhenni pursed her lips: "In Dad's eyes, your daughter is the kind of naive and innocent girl who will suffer losses."

She has a cheerful and enthusiastic personality, and indeed looks like a pushover. But in reality, she hasn't suffered any major setbacks since her debut.

From the moment she entered the entertainment industry, Jin Xiao had been paving the way for her from behind, taking care of everything, and determined not to let even a grain of sand get into her eyes. With his intervention, at least no one dared to target her.

Seeing his daughter yawning with her hands covering her lips, Jin Xiao said softly, "Go and rest."

Wen Zhenni had been wanting to run away for a long time, but upon hearing this, she quickly stood up and said, "Good night, Dad."

"good evening."

After returning to the room, Wen Zhenni kicked off her slippers, lifted the quilt and crawled in.

After lying down for a few seconds, he raised his upper body and leaned his head to observe the movement around him.

He is a good drinker. When he is drunk, he just sleeps quietly without making any noise or causing any trouble. It is quite worry-free.

This alone is enough to defeat most men.

Wen Zhenni held her chin in her hand and studied him for a while. As expected, the silent Ciheng was the most pleasing to the eye.

She put her hand close to his ear, held his face, and tried to call out, "Husband?"

After waiting for a few seconds and seeing no response, she carefully asked again, "Did you hear me?"

The man still didn't move. Wen Zhenni held her breath and tried to place her fingers on the artery in his neck.

After feeling the steady and long beating, she breathed a sigh of relief, rolled up the quilt, and lay down next to him.

But...with such a good opportunity right in front of us, wouldn't it be a shame not to do something?

In the darkness, she quietly reached under her pajamas, her palms falling on the soft muscles, kneading them again and again, before closing her eyes contentedly...
