Zheng Tianming had one hand in his pocket, while five or six security guards aggressively chased him away from behind.

"Hurry up, hurry up, why are you coming so close to the backstage?" The security guard was a middle-aged man around fifty years old. He was holding a fake stun gun and speaking in a thick local dialect.

Zheng Tianming's face was filled with helplessness: "Don't push me. If I walk too fast and you lose your front tooth, don't try to sue me..."

Xu Mengyu looked at the text message Zheng Tianming sent on her phone and couldn't help but chuckle.

“Sister Xu, times have changed. Doing this is very risky.” Hu Xiaohui frowned, holding a folder in her hands.

The makeup artist was applying highlighter to Xu Mengyu's collarbone when she heard Hu Xiaohui's words and stopped: "Um, should I go out?"

Xu Mengyu shook her head: "No need."

“...”

After finding a seat, Zheng Tianming sat down, crossing his long legs. Who knows what kind of tricks the young lady might be up to?

Something unusual must be going on, especially with Xu Mengyu.

The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly lively. Some fans were exchanging gifts, others were joking and playing around, and some couples were even kissing each other on the sidelines.

Zheng Tianming turned his head and looked over: "Brother, that's so inconsiderate. If you're going to kiss, can you please stop making noises?" In this kind of occasion, if you don't stop him, his hand will almost reach in.

The boy's face flushed instantly, and he pulled the girl aside.

"He doesn't have a girlfriend, he's just jealous." The girl said, making a face.

Zheng Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly: "..."

The concert was about to begin, and the atmosphere became even more lively. Zheng Tianming leaned back in his chair, and suddenly a light stick appeared in his hand.

"Why did you come empty-handed? Here, take this, we'll start shouting in a bit." A middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing glasses, carrying a support bag on his back, and with a blue ribbon tied around his arm.

Zheng Tianming shook his head twice: "Thank you."

"I don't know why, but you look so familiar, I can't quite place you." After saying that, the man sat down next to Zheng Tianming. It was the first time he had managed to snag such an early ticket, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days.

Zheng Tianming took out his phone and snapped a picture of Xu Mengyu. He waved his light stick twice and said, "People always say that celebrities support their wives, but in our case, it's the other way around."

After a while, Xu Mengyu replied to the text message: 【What are you babbling about? I'm an artist, not an idol. I have the freedom to date! Also, nobody's going to support you, so don't be shameless.】

Zheng Tianming pursed his lips. He didn't understand it very well. There were just too many twists and turns involved. Aren't artists, actors, singers, and idols all the same thing?

Before going on stage, Xu Mengyu sent a message to Zheng Wanwan to ask about Bai Miaomiao's condition, since her sister was still lying in the intensive care unit.

If she doesn't come, it's a disservice to her fans, which is the most fatal thing for an artist.

When it arrived, her heart remained uneasy, because she couldn't keep watching it all the time; she always felt empty and uneasy.

After receiving a positive response, Xu Mengyu took a deep breath. Although it wasn't her first time on stage, she was still nervous.

“...”

Zheng Tianming was sitting in his chair when the speakers suddenly blared, and cheers and shouts erupted from the audience, some even calling out names...

The lights instantly turned on, like beams of light shining onto the stage, the lift slowly rose, and the big screen began to count down.

Zheng Tianming was actually a little nervous, his heart pounding wildly.

The moment Xu Mengyu appeared, accompanied by her singing, her stage presence was incredibly dynamic, creating a deafening sound in the audience.

Without exaggeration, Zheng Tianming sat up straight, his eyes wide open. He had been so sleepy just moments before that he couldn't wake up, but now he was full of energy.

He would interact with the fans in the audience halfway through the song, completely transforming into a different person. The emotional impact was so powerful that the guy next to me screamed until his voice cracked.

Xu Mengyu thoroughly enjoyed being on stage. All the training and hard work were worthwhile at this moment. She danced and sang with all her might. When she turned around and saw the fans cheering for her on the screen, her eyes welled up with tears.

Zheng Tianming watched for more than two hours and felt very distressed.

With only two songs left, Xu Mengyu sat down in a chair with her guitar on her back, and Zheng Tianming's face appeared on the big screen behind her.

Zheng Tianming was taken aback at first, then sat up straight. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating. The young lady was taking too much risks.

Xu Mengyu played the guitar and sang a new song, a lighthearted love song.

The fans in the audience had mixed feelings of doubt and excitement, their expressions were very varied. The brother next to him choked up, and tears were about to come out.

He shoved Zheng Tianming hard: "Why didn't you tell me beforehand that it was your brother-in-law?" Then he forcefully snatched the light stick from his hand, refusing to give it back!

Zheng Tianming looked at Xu Mengyu singing love songs on stage. He felt a little dazed, as if he were dreaming. He even pinched his thigh.

"My favorite couple has become a real couple!" the girl behind me exclaimed in surprise. "I watched them when they participated in the wilderness survival competition, I never thought it would be true!"

After one song ended, Xu Mengyu sang another. This time, the screen showed screenshots of fans speaking up for her, as well as the lovely faces of the fans in the audience.

Her comeback wasn't entirely due to her own abilities; without the support of her fans, it would have been all for naught.

Before stepping down from the stage, Xu Mengyu bowed deeply to express her gratitude.

Hu Xiaohui was a little worried. Xu Mengyu started to have a fever halfway through her song, so she ran over to her as soon as she came off the stage.

"Sister Xu, take your medicine first," Hu Xiaohui said, opening the lid of her water glass.

Xu Mengyu hadn't dared to take her medicine earlier, worried that she would get sleepy on stage. Now her whole body was trembling, partly from exhaustion and partly from a high fever.

Zheng Tianming quietly left the scene. His friend, who was probably seething with rage, kept glaring at him menacingly...

Xu Mengyu quickly removed her makeup and changed her clothes. She had to rush to the hospital. Zheng Wanwan said that Bai Miaomiao had woken up, but the doctor said she was not completely out of danger yet.

Zheng Tianming was already waiting in the car. He took out his phone and saw that the matter was trending on social media, with the majority of people supporting it.

Some people are digging into his information, but they only say that he is a rich second-generation, and that's all. Even if they dig deeper, they probably wouldn't dare to post it online.

Xu Mengyu got into the car under the escort of bodyguards. Zheng Tianming put away his phone and hugged her tightly.

"You should have said so earlier! I could have put on some makeup and dressed up. I'm already dark-skinned, and with this lighting, I look like a donkey's testicle covered in frost." Zheng Tianming finished speaking and gave Xu Mengyu two big kisses on the cheek.

Xu Mengyu: "..."

A person's virtue lies in having self-awareness, and this can be considered one of his strengths.

"Why are you so hot?" Zheng Tianming said, reaching out to touch her forehead.

Xu Mengyu leaned against Zheng Tianming and said, "I probably caught a chill while changing clothes, it's alright." She then found a comfortable position.

Zheng Tianming took off his coat and covered her with it: "Let's go to the hospital first."

Xu Mengyu hummed in agreement and then closed her eyes. She had a terrible headache, her ears were ringing, and her legs were trembling.

Zheng Tianming touched Xu Mengyu's face. She actually gave him a "title" in this way. She had loved him unconditionally from beginning to end.

Fortunately, he found out not too late.

Xu Mengyu hummed softly, because she was so tired that she fell asleep before even reaching the hospital.

Zheng Tianming lowered his head and whispered two words in her ear: he would love her well for the rest of his life...

Xu Sichen had already gotten tickets, but Bai Miaomiao was still in the intensive care unit, so he wasn't in the mood to go to his daughter's concert.

When he finally had some free time and turned on his phone, he was bombarded with congratulations and pop-up messages: Xu Mengyu publicly professing her love, the identity of Xu Mengyu's lover, and so on...

He clicked on the video and watched it. Xu Mengyu was wearing a white dress and playing the guitar, while Zheng Tianming, wearing a suit, was on the big screen behind her.

Xu Sichen sighed. She was so stubborn, she didn't even discuss it with him. This concerned her future. Oh well, he knew his daughter's personality well enough.

Li Milui saw it too, of course. She casually tossed her phone to Xu Sichen, showing no backbone at all. She had previously been saying that she would never forgive him in less than a year or two.

They made up in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Xu Sichen pulled her into his arms and hugged her: "Once Miaomiao is almost fully recovered, we'll start thinking about where to go on vacation."

"We've already planned it out, why are you waiting for us to come up with ideas?" Li Mirui said with a look of disdain. The group of them had already made plans and even prepared a detailed strategy.

Xu Sichen rubbed Li Mirui's lower back: "Do I need to think about it?" That's all he wanted to do.

Li Miru glared at Xu Sichen: "At your age, when are you going to behave yourself? What kind of talk will this make?"

"You're perfectly fine, why are you being so quiet?" Xu Sichen said, then gently patted him. "Shall I carry you back to sleep for a while?"

Li Mirui shook her head: "I'll go back after Miaomiao comes out of the ICU and Xiao Jiangyi is completely at ease."

Ye Yuncheng and Jiang Yi sat at the door of the intensive care unit. As soon as the doctor came out, they went up to ask him questions.

Pei Kaixin took a look at the child, who looked like a little mouse, his whole body was red, and his veins were clearly visible. The doctor said there was only a 70% chance of survival.

Bai Miaomiao almost lost her life for that 70% chance, but it's no use talking about it now.

Before Bai Miaomiao could wake up, Xu Mengyu returned to the hospital, underwent a check-up, and was immediately put on an IV drip.

Xu Sichen rushed over as soon as he received the news.

Xu Mengyu lay on the hospital bed wiping her nose, while Hu Xiaohui stood beside her. The public relations department was already quite busy.

Although they were prepared, the incident became even more sensational than expected. Public opinion was developing in a positive direction, but they still had to keep a close eye on it, as it could easily turn into a major reversal.

Xu Sichen pushed open the door to the ward, and Xu Mengyu sniffed: "Dad."

"Why did you suddenly develop a high fever?" Xu Sichen said, reaching out to touch Xu Mengyu's forehead. "Can't you wear more clothes for a performance?"

"Your daughter has such a great figure, doesn't wearing thick clothes completely cover it up?" Xu Mengyu said, and then got a tap on the forehead.

Xu Mengyu covered her forehead and looked at Xu Sichen with a wronged expression: "Why did you still hit me?"

Li Milui entered the ward: "If I had been beaten a few more times when I was a child, I wouldn't be in this situation now."

Xu Mengyu stuck out her tongue and lay down. When she was little, if her father got angry, her mother would protect her before he could even lay a hand on her...

Zheng Tianming came back from outside, carrying a bowl of lean meat porridge. "Dad, Mom, the doctor said it's just a common cold. Two IV drips should be enough." He then walked over.

"You keep talking about Mom and Dad, and you haven't even gotten your marriage certificate yet," Li Mirui said to Zheng Tianming.

Zheng Tianming put down the porridge and poured a glass of water for Xu Sichen and Li Mirui: "Does not getting a marriage certificate mean we can't call each other Mom and Dad? I've called them that since I was a child. If I hadn't changed my address when I grew up, I could have called them that for the rest of my life."

Li Milui: "..."

It turns out that chocolate with a lava center can also have a black center.

Xu Mengyu gripped the blanket with one hand and pulled it up a bit; her face was unusually large.

Bai Miaomiao woke up that night, and the doctor gave her a comprehensive examination, especially of her heart and lungs. Her recovery after the surgery was quite good.

Jiang Yi looked on with teary eyes.

Pei Kaixin was in excruciating pain, but he dared not touch her. He could only tell her in a hoarse voice that the baby was fine and healthy...

This should be what she's most concerned about right now.

Bai Miaomiao looked at Pei Kaixin and saw that he looked haggard. She blinked and her lips moved slightly.

As everyone was wheeled back into the intensive care unit, Jiang Yi couldn't help but hug Bai Heng and burst into tears, mostly from lingering fear...

Pei Xiuyan donated money to various hospitals in Bai Miaomiao's name. He was the principal and also the child's father, so sometimes you can't help but believe it.

Xu Mengyu stayed in bed for two days, and the internet was full of blessings. Some people even made a video by cutting out clips of the two of them participating in wilderness survival.

As for Xu Lu's identity, he said he didn't want to appear in the public eye and just wanted to focus on completing his studies. As for the future, he would talk about it later.

Zheng Tianming lived like he was in a dream every day. As Pei Lan put it, he wished he could walk sideways.

Bai Miaomiao stayed in the intensive care unit for more than a month before being released. When she first saw the child, she had a slight look of disgust on her face.

At first, I thought the child was malnourished, which was why his hair was that color, but it turns out he's just a little blond...

Xu Mengyu sat to the side, gently touching the baby's face with her fingertips: "So tender, such a beautiful baby."

Bai Miaomiao looked down and said, "Hmm... Ying Kua isn't without his merits, for example... um... his nails are quite pretty."

Pei Kaixin smiled helplessly at the baby powder: "Wife, you always said you loved my hair when you were little, why are you so disgusted with it when it comes to Xiao Yanzhou?"

"How can they be the same? You're pretty, and he's all wrinkled," Bai Miaomiao said, pouting. There was no comparison.

Pei Kaixin was a beautiful child, with delicate features and blond hair. Because of an eye injury, he always wore a white eye patch, and even his walk exuded nobility and elegance. But look at the one in her arms—his farts really stink! She almost couldn't hold it in just now...

Xu Mengyu teased Bai Miaomiao with a smile, "If you don't like it, I can take it away."

Bai Miaomiao nodded seriously: "Okay, then I can go on vacation!"

"Dream on." Xu Mengyu said, taking the formula that Pei Kaixin had prepared. Don't underestimate the baby just because he's small; he might have already eaten it.

Just then, Zheng Wanwan walked in carrying a bowl of soup: "Going on vacation? Take me with you!"

While they were chatting about where to go after Bai Miaomiao was discharged from the hospital, they had already started handing over their work, with Xu Sichen being the most proactive.
