Zheng Tianming carried Xu Lu, who was wearing sunglasses, and followed behind Xu Mengyu. The staff couldn't help but take a second look. They had seen many celebrities, but it was rare to see a celebrity with a child.

As Xu Mengyu passed by the publicity department, she stopped and took a look. Soft sofas and coffee tables formed a comfortable rest area, where several staff members were taking a lunch break. Valuable artworks hung on the wall, adding a touch of culture to the entire space.

"Good afternoon, Sister Xu." A passing staff member nodded and greeted her.

Xu Mengyu greeted her with a smile. Compared to before, the studio was much quieter now. Some people had chosen to switch jobs for their future prospects, while others had been poached by Shen Mei.

After getting on the elevator, she pinched Xu Lu's tender cheek: "Give your glasses back to your Uncle Zheng." They were so big they almost covered her face.

“His eyes look so much like yours,” Zheng Tianming said in a deep voice.

Xu Lu reached out and straightened the crooked frame: "Uncle Zheng, please put me down." Being held like this was too embarrassing.

"Let him hug you if he wants to, it won't tire you out." Xu Mengyu crossed her arms and hummed softly, thinking, "Why not take advantage of someone who's eager to be hugged?"

Zheng Tianming leaned against Xu Mengyu, and, afraid that Xu Lu would hear, he lowered his voice and said, "If needed, I can hold you like this too."

"Go! Go! Go..."

Xu Mengyu reached out and nudged Zheng Tianming, as if she were the one who envied him the most.

Xu Lu pouted and said unhappily, "Good things shouldn't be kept secret, and things that are kept secret are never good."

“...”

After getting off the elevator, Xu Mengyu's assistant, Hu Xiaohui, was already waiting at the office door. She was fair-skinned, with a slightly chubby face, and wore a neat ponytail, carrying meeting documents in her arms.

"Good afternoon, Sister Xu. I've prepared all the documents for the meeting later." After graduating from university, she worked as an assistant to artists at this studio. As for the online opinions, what did they have to do with her? She was just making her money.

Xu Mengyu opened the office door, and Hu Xiaohui looked at Zheng Tianming: "Sister Xu, is this a new artist signed by our company?"

Zheng Tianming was wearing an expensive suit and didn't look like a bodyguard at all. He looked very much like the general public and was suitable for playing a domineering CEO or an ancient general. It's just that his skin was a bit dark, which was comparable to Fang Bei's.

Although the child in his arms couldn't be seen clearly, his fair skin was like a glutinous rice ball, suggesting he could have a wide range of acting roles.

"Bodyguards," Xu Mengyu said calmly.

Hu Xiaohui was stunned. A bodyguard with a child? This...

After entering the office, Xu Mengyu plopped down in the office chair, her long legs propped up on the desk: "Zheng Tianming, I advise you to leave now to avoid embarrassment later."

Xu Mengyu had no other choice; if she didn't leave soon, she would really be exposed.

She was thinking about Zheng Tianming before, so of course she couldn't hook up with other men. Fang Bei liked her, but she rejected him from beginning to end.

When the person arrived, Zheng Tianming, with his keen observation skills, was able to spot the flaw at a glance.

Xu Lu sat on the sofa, gently tugging at Zheng Tianming's clothes. He looked up, his eyes filled with pleading. He was afraid Zheng Tianming would leave, and then he would be without a father again...

Zheng Tianming ruffled Xu Lu's hair: "Haven't you embarrassed me enough?" As he spoke, he sat on the armrest of the sofa, determined to see what would happen.

Before Xu Mengyu could speak, the office door opened, and she sat down and said, "Come in."

A man who was over 1.8 meters tall walked in, holding flowers in his hand.

He was dressed in sportswear, with dark skin and bright, piercing eyes: "Sister Xu, do you have guests?" As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Tianming, who was sitting on the armrest of the sofa.

Zheng Tianming stood up and extended his hand: "Hello, Xu Mengyu's ex-husband."

Xu Mengyu: "..." This guy is so shameless it's practically fuming. If she really had something going on with Fang Bei, his self-introduction alone would be enough to start a fight between them.

Fang Bei was taken aback, but still extended his hand: "Hello, my name is Fang Bei, and I am a contracted artist under Sister Xu."

"Uncle Fang, good afternoon," Xu Lu said softly, not wanting to be impolite.

Fang Bei's expression wasn't good. Putting aside this guy's self-introduction, his grip was too strong, making his bones ache.

"It's been half a year since I last saw you, Lulu has grown taller." Fang Bei said, pulling his hand back. He knew what children liked to hear, and he also knew how much Xu Mengyu cared about this precious son.

Zheng Tianming frowned slightly. Xu Mengyu's taste hadn't changed at all; she had always liked this type.

Xu Lu leaned back awkwardly on the sofa. He used to be very close to Fang Bei and had even considered having him as his stepfather.

Seeing that Xu Lu hadn't come over, Fang Bei smiled, walked straight to Xu Mengyu's side, and handed her the flowers: "Sister Xu, you're finally back."

Xu Mengyu took the flowers and placed them aside: "Let's not talk about that for now. Didn't you say before that your agent would never switch companies?"

Fang Bei rubbed his nose. He had made a solemn promise at the time, but his agent resigned the very next day, making him look foolish.

“I’ve already found someone to replace him, so Sister Xu doesn’t need to worry.” As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked carefully at Xu Mengyu: “But you, how come you’ve lost so much weight?”

Zheng Tianming raised an eyebrow and leaned back on the sofa, watching the two interact.

“The cook at home makes terrible food.” Xu Mengyu said, looking at Zheng Tianming. In the past, she would only answer the first part of the sentence and ignore the second part.

Fang Bei was pleasantly surprised: "Then I'll call some chefs I know in a bit, and you can try their cooking first and choose one that suits you."

The atmosphere in the office was incredibly awkward. Xu Mengyu didn't want to keep Fang Bei hanging, but Zheng Tianming was watching. She casually hummed in agreement, "Take care of your agent's matter first, we'll talk later."

"Sister Xu, with such a big change happening in the studio this time, everyone's feeling uneasy. I'm planning to treat everyone to dinner tonight..." Fang Bei looked at Xu Mengyu: "Are you coming?"

“Perfect timing, Shao Yunhe is back too. You organize it, I'll treat.” Xu Mengyu waved her hand after saying that, “You go ahead and get busy.”

Shao Yunhe is the curly-haired boy who sent Xu Mengyu a selfie before. He is the same age as Fang Bei and they both want to pursue Xu Mengyu. The two bicker whenever they meet. If it weren't for their different statuses, they probably would have already started fighting.

Xu Lu looked at Zheng Tianming and saw that he was pursing his lips and not saying a word, as if he were invisible. He was extremely worried.

Before leaving, Fang Bei glanced at Zheng Tianming. Compared to Shao Yunhe, this person in front of him was his biggest threat. He had heard before that Xu Mengyu had a childhood sweetheart and the two had a very good relationship. Now that he had met him, some things could be confirmed.

After all, the father and son look too alike.

However, the fact that he has already become her "ex-husband" means that he still has a chance.

He only signed with the studio because of Xu Mengyu. His Fang family is one of the top families in China. If it weren't for pursuing her, he wouldn't be an artist.

Zheng Tianming looked at Xu Mengyu. Was this the lover she had mentioned, the one she loved to the point of life and death?

Your little bottom is itchy, how dare you tell such a lie!
