While filming on set, Zheng Tianming also had to handle company affairs remotely, and in the meantime, he didn't forget to attract investors for himself.

His family owns a security company, and wealthy people who are afraid of death have been hiring his family's bodyguards. If he steps forward to pull the throwing knives, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?

However, he didn't try to take the lead role. He was very popular on set, treating everyone to crayfish one day and milk tea the next. It would be hard for him to be unpopular.

With Xu Mengyu's help, even though she wasn't there, there were very few people targeting Zheng Tianming. Even the male lead asked to have more screen time for him.

Zheng Tianming sat in a chair with a script in his hand, a transparent water glass filled with goji berries beside him.

Hu Xiaohui stayed by Zheng Tianming's side. With her there, there was no chance for them to create a romantic pairing and generate public opinion. She stopped them as soon as they came over.

Xu Mengyu was extremely busy, with endless meetings and the need to maintain good interpersonal relationships. One second they were discussing serious business, and the next second he was saying that his daughter liked her very much and asked if he could sign an autograph.

Her life is a mess. She did say she wanted to be richer than a country, but now all she sees in money are numbers. She has no time to enjoy life at all.

No wonder the parents and elders ran away.

If it were her, she would run away too...

While doing his homework, Xu Lu felt a chill on his back. He thought it was from the air conditioner, so he picked up a blanket from the side and put it on.

It seems there's still hope.

"Mom, when are we going to visit Dad?" He'd forgotten the exact word, but it was something like, "to visit Dad."

Xu Mengyu was holding a document and verifying it when she heard Xu Lu say that. She then realized, "Oh no, I forgot to report to your dad." With that, she quickly went into the bedroom.

With all the elders at home gone, the house suddenly felt much quieter, and Xu Lu felt a little uneasy. Why were they leaving him like this...?

Why--

Zheng Tianming was lying on the large hotel bed, wrapped only in a bath towel, watching military news with a remote control in his hand. His phone rang, and he sat up: "Miss, you finally contacted me."

Xu Mengyu lay on the bed, the documents beside her: "We're an old married couple, what's there to be all lovey-dovey about? I'm going to look at some documents, don't bother me."

Zheng Tianming held his phone silently, practically glued to it. He couldn't leave, and Xu Mengyu was busy; the two hadn't seen each other for almost half a month.

Half an hour later, Xu Mengyu sighed deeply and looked up to see Zheng Tianming looking at her with eyes full of love.

A slight smile played on her lips. Who says men can't relieve boredom?

Zheng Tianming's lips moved slightly: "I miss you."

Xu Mengyu nodded dismissively, feigning profundity: "Well, there's nothing we can do. We're all busy with our own things. If this were back in school, we could be together every day. It's a pity I didn't know you liked me then."

Zheng Tianming was filled with regret. He knew that Xu Mengyu wasn't just playing around; he didn't even play ball anymore, he spent every day with her.

Xu Mengyu suppressed a laugh.

"Those who know me are filming, but those who don't think I'm in jail..." Zheng Tianming's voice sounded a little aggrieved. He couldn't see his wife and children in this place, and he was anxious and worried every day.

Xu Mengyu hummed softly twice: "How about we switch?"

Zheng Tianming knew Xu Mengyu was tired. It was already so late, and she was still wearing makeup. It would be a lie to say he wasn't worried: "Wife, go take a shower first. I'll wait for you here."

Xu Mengyu stretched while holding her phone: [Fine, you won't keep saying you miss me every day?]

Zheng Tianming had a bad feeling, and he shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, don't do that."

Who cares about him?

Xu Mengyu took her phone into the bathroom. Of course, she wasn't naive; he could only see so much, relying entirely on his imagination.

Zheng Tianming leaned against the headboard, while Xu Mengyu stood under the shower, taking a shower. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, and water streamed down her delicate face.

After Xu Mengyu finished showering, she noticed the other person's breathing had changed. She whispered, "What's wrong? Asleep?"

Zheng Tianming's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice hoarse: "No." Still sleeping? He was afraid he wouldn't have a good night.

Xu Mengyu took her phone and went for a walk. Xu Lu had already finished her homework and gone back to her room to sleep.

She went over and checked it; the backpack was neat and tidy. [Who do you think Lulu got her cleanliness from?]

Without a second thought, Zheng Tianming replied, "Of course I'll follow the young lady's lead..."

I cried every day when I was in school. I was always dragged to school. My schoolbag was full of candy wrappers or leaky pens, but my clothes were always clean. I didn't want to get them even a little dirty.

Zheng Tianming was the complete opposite of her. His clothes were filthy, as if he had rolled in the mud, but his schoolbag was clean and tidy. However, his grades were not good.

Every year, they are the focus of attention for the elders.

Time flies. Xu Mengyu sat on the sofa with her phone in hand, and for a moment she felt like she had returned to her childhood.

Her father drove her to school in his Cullinan every day. The car was full of toys. When the teacher checked her homework, he would help cover for her.

As for why she didn't go to school with Zheng Wanwan and Zheng Tianming, it's because she couldn't get out of bed and tossed and turned in bed every day...

Seeing Xu Mengyu sitting on the sofa, smiling sweetly, Zheng Tianming's heart pounded: "Miss, can I make time to go back and see you and Lulu tomorrow?"

Xu Mengyu immediately straightened her face: "No, it's not too late after we finish filming. My child and I aren't going to run away."

He couldn't run, but he wanted to...

The two chatted for a while longer, but Xu Mengyu was so sleepy that she put her phone next to her pillow. They said goodnight to each other and went to sleep.

The video will end when the phone runs out of battery.

Zheng Tianming couldn't sleep at all. He got up, took a sip of water, and listened to Xu Mengyu's even breathing. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Xu Mengyu got up before dawn. She needed to double-check the purchase order, then make breakfast, and wait for Xu Lu to get up before taking him to school.

She missed Zheng Tianming so much...

Xu Lu was lying on the bed in a starfish position, with the corner of the blanket covering his stomach, leaving his body completely naked. He used to like to sleep curled up, but I don't know when he changed his position.

After preparing breakfast, Xu Mengyu knocked on the door. After waiting for a while without any response, she had no choice but to open the door and go inside.

Hearing the voice, Xu Lu groggily opened his eyes and saw that it was Xu Mengyu. He immediately covered himself with the blanket and said, "Good morning, Mom."

The child has grown up and knows how to be shy.

"I'm sorry, Mom knocked on the door, but you didn't hear me. I was a little worried, so I just came in." Xu Mengyu said as she walked out and closed the door.

After washing up, Xu Lu sent Zheng Tianming a text message: "Dad, I'm going to school now. I miss you."

Since the last explosion, he has learned that he needs to express his feelings promptly, especially to his parents.

Zheng Tianming barely slept a wink all night, his mind filled with thoughts of Xu Mengyu taking a shower; he was beyond saving.

For the next week, Xu Mengyu remained busy, while Zheng Tianming filmed every day. In another week, his scenes would be almost finished.

When Hu Xiaohui received Xu Mengyu's text message, she was chatting with the director and needed to find opportunities for other artists.

After saying "Excuse me," she took out her phone and glanced at it; she couldn't stop smiling...

"Hey, can you stop smiling so lewdly?" The director looked helpless. Hu Xiaohui was the most shrewd agent he had ever met.

With just a glance or a tone of voice, she knew how to start the conversation.

There's not a single good guy in Xu Mengyu's studio. Fang Bei was originally more suitable for the male lead, but unfortunately he wasn't available.

It's not that he doesn't have any; all the artists in Xu Mengyu's studio are incredibly busy, and the two sisters, Long Tian and Long Huan, are especially reaping both fame and fortune.

I heard that other entertainment companies offered them exorbitant prices, but they rejected them outright, and they didn't even have the idea of ​​going solo.

Zheng Tianming longed to return to the hotel every day, even though he couldn't kiss or hug her, at least he could watch a video call.

If it gets late, Xu Mengyu goes straight to sleep. He can't bear to tire her out. These past few days, he's been thinking about her constantly, not just in his dreams, but even while sitting in a chair.

He's not very successful these days; he's busy filming, working, and thinking about his wife...

Xu Mengyu sat on the plane, while Xu Lu was extremely excited, checking the time every now and then.

He will be able to see his father soon.

Zheng Tianming was still puzzled. He returned to the hotel early today and tried to video call Xu Mengyu, but she refused to answer.

He lay in bed, looking at the photos on his phone; he was practically a statue waiting for his wife.

Just as he was about to try again, the doorbell rang.

"Mr. Zheng, your takeout has arrived." A man's voice came from the doorway.

Zheng Tianming was surprised that delivery drivers are so fast now; the food arrived in less than five minutes after he placed the order.

As soon as he opened the door, a small figure rushed over, and he picked the person up with lightning speed.

"Well--"

After Zheng Tianming realized what was happening, he hugged the person in his arms: "How could you..." Before he could finish being happy, he saw Xu Mengyu again.

He put Xu Lu aside and picked up Xu Mengyu, saying, "My dear lady, you should have told me sooner. I would have picked you up from the airport."

Xu Mengyu put her hands on Zheng Tianming's shoulders: "Don't get too excited, put me down first."

The deliveryman next to him scratched his head, thinking, "This attempt to help only resulted in me getting a mouthful of food..."

He recognized Xu Mengyu; otherwise, he wouldn't have helped her so casually, as that wouldn't have followed the platform's rules.

Xu Lu stood to the side: "..." The bok choy in the field was turning yellow.

Zheng Tianming carried Xu Mengyu into the hotel: "Son, watch some TV by yourself." After saying that, he carried her to the bed.

Xu Lu sat on the sofa watching cartoons, and there was something superfluous in there.

Xu Mengyu lay on the bed, looking at Zheng Tianming with gentle eyes: "Aren't you surprised?"

Zheng Tianming kissed Xu Mengyu hard on the lips. He was so excited that he couldn't speak. The person he had been dreaming of all night was right in front of him.

Xu Mengyu was breathless from his kisses: "Stop, stop it, Lulu is here."

"I'll just kiss you, nothing else," Zheng Tianming said, sucking on Xu Mengyu's lips and stroking her waist with his large hand.

Xu Mengyu's breathing immediately became rapid, and she looked at Zheng Tianming with seductive eyes: "Wait until tonight."

Zheng Tianming was already looking forward to it.

Before he could even finish celebrating, the doorbell rang again. He went to open the door, only to find Zheng Wanwan and Pei Lan standing there with a packed dinner.

"You've come at just the right time." Zheng Tianming had no choice but to step aside.

Zheng Wanwan was overjoyed to see Xu Mengyu. Since taking over the company, she had been living in the new house. The advantage was that it was very close to the company, but the disadvantage was that she could no longer see Mengyu.

The two sat together and chatted.

"Bai Miaomiao texted me yesterday crying, saying she wanted to go out and play." Zheng Wanwan said, lying on the bed, "I want to too."

"Then hurry up and have your baby, then we'll run away together." Xu Mengyu said, moving closer to Zheng Wanwan. Seeing that the mark on her neck hadn't faded yet, she knew it was coming soon, that she was expecting a baby.

Xu Lu started complaining as soon as she saw Pei Lan. From the moment she entered the room, she was dragged to the back to watch cartoons, and her little mouth kept chattering.

"Didn't you want a little sister?" Pei Lan said, raising an eyebrow at Zheng Tianming.

Zheng Tianming wasn't embarrassed; he knew perfectly well what was going on. But he couldn't bear to leave his sister alone. Xu Mengyu was so tired, and all the burdens were on her shoulders.

The four of them had so much to talk about that they chatted until late at night before Zheng Wanwan reluctantly left with Pei Lan.

When Xu Mengyu came out after taking a shower, Xu Lu was already asleep on another bed.

Zheng Tianming went to great lengths to coax the person to sleep, resorting to both threats and inducements.

Seeing how anxious he was, Xu Mengyu didn't keep him hanging: "Go to the bathroom." She was afraid that Xu Lu would wake up and hear her, which would be bad.

Zheng Tianming took out his phone: "I texted Hu Xiaohui, she's coming over right away, I booked a room next door."

“...”

After finishing the last crab, Hu Xiaohui wiped her mouth and said, "Director Fu, don't worry. If you need anything in the future, just call me anytime, and I'll definitely adjust your schedule."

What agent doesn't make empty promises? Now that she's working right under his nose, of course she'll say whatever comes to mind.

Fu Feng took out his phone: "I've recorded this, so don't try to back out later." He had dealt with her several times before.

Hu Xiaohui is greedy for money and prioritizes profit. She speaks like a dog, and you can't do without her using some tricks.

"Don't worry, I promised you, would I lie to you?" Hu Xiaohui cursed her ancestors in her heart, but she wasn't worried. Even if he didn't have the time, what could he do?

“...”

Zheng Tianming was getting a little impatient. When the doorbell rang, he quickly opened the door and said, "I'll treat you to a big meal tomorrow."

Hu Xiaohui pursed her lips. She had promised to give Zheng Tianming a huge surprise, and she had made all the arrangements, but Xu Mengyu couldn't hold back any longer.

She took out the room key and handed it to Xu Mengyu, saying that the money shouldn't be wasted.

Xu Mengyu's ears turned slightly red. She had originally wanted to give Zheng Tianming a surprise, but it wouldn't be appropriate to go directly to the prepared room with Xu Lu in tow.

Zheng Tianming couldn't resist wanting to kiss Xu Mengyu in the elevator, but he held back in the end because the occasion was inappropriate.

After getting off the elevator, Xu Mengyu pulled Zheng Tianming into the furnished room, which had everything he could want...

Zheng Tianming felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and the two quickly became inseparable.

Life goes on, so the key right now is to enjoy life while you can.

[The following is a bonus chapter. Thank you all for your support and love, my darlings. *bows*]

[Finally, thank you so much for your support, everyone. From Professor Pei until now, it's been a long time, but not short either. My abilities are really limited, so this series will have to end here. I guess I've finally filled in all the gaps.]

[I hope we can meet again in the next book. Their lives go on, and my presbyopia will continue. I look forward to our next meeting.]
