Chapter 43 Chapter 43

It turned out to be the male lead.

This was the first sentence that popped into Yueqing's mind at an inopportune time.

In novels, anyone who doesn't have some major or minor illness is not worthy of being the male protagonist, but...what does it have to do with her?

So after Jiang Suiyi finished speaking, she pondered for a moment before politely responding, "Really? I never thought of that."

“…”

Now it was Jiang Sui who was speechless.

He thought of any possible reaction Yue Qing might have, but he never imagined it would be like this.

Do you really mean something unexpected?

He originally thought that revealing this secret would make the balance between the two of them become a little delicate, at least the scale should be tilted in one direction, but he didn't expect the other party to be so calm, as calm as if what he said was just a minor cold.

But because of this, his emotions calmed down strangely, and he even felt like laughing.

"Your reaction," Jiang Suizhi laughed. "I really don't know how to continue."

Yue Qing touched her earlobe sheepishly, reacting subconsciously and unable to control herself.

"So you mean you need me to take care of the two children until you recover?" she asked.

Apart from this, she couldn't think of any other reason why Jiang Sui would tell her such a private matter.

"Yes and no." The green light came on, and Jiang Suizhi felt much more relaxed. "I want to ask you for a favor."

"you say."

"Please help me relieve it."

“…”

"?"

"Wait." Yue Qing finally lost her composure. She sat up straight and pointed at herself, unsure if she had heard correctly. "You talking about me? I'm not a doctor."

Although I have done many part-time jobs, I have never worked part-time in this industry.

Besides, how can he cure this disease by himself???

"The doctor might not be able to help." Jiang Suiji spoke casually, not putting too much pressure on the other party. He simply described his current situation in a matter-of-fact manner. "The doctor has been making suggestions for a long time, but I haven't been able to act on them. If I hadn't seen my child, I might have let myself go on like this."

"Child?" Yue Qing suddenly realized, "You mean you want the child's help?"

"I did consider this. I'm less wary of my child than anyone else, but after this morning, I realized this approach isn't feasible," he said. "Children don't understand the severity of this disease, so there are many uncontrollable factors."

Thinking of how uncomfortable he looked every time the two children tried to touch him, Yue Qing could understand: "What do you need me to do?"

"If you're not around the children, I'll try to avoid contact with them as much as possible." Jiang then expressed his plan. "But if you're around, I might appear in front of the children for a long time to gradually desensitize them. I'd be grateful if you could guide me then."

Yue Qing breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s very simple, I will do my best.”

She thought she needed to help him desensitize himself.

What has happened?

"But other people should be able to do this," she said.

Jiang Suizhi shook his head: "You are the only one who knows about this matter."

This sentence surprised Yue Qing even more than Jiang Suizhi's revelation that he was ill. This special fact made her feel an inexplicable layer of pressure.

"I think you have a better right to know than I do." Jiang Sui's tone became a little colder. "I have already found some clues about the cause of my brother's death. The Jiang family will be in turmoil soon. Before then, you, the child, and I must be careful."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qing's heart skipped a beat.

Most of the plots in the novels she read were about raising children and the love-hate relationship between the male and female protagonists. In addition, she was a supporting actress with the same name, so she had no interest in reading any further after her part was over.

So she had no idea about the open and secret struggles in the wealthy families, but now she feels that it is not simple.

The common people who had lived honest lives were terrified.

But she was worried about something else: "Will the children be affected, too?"

"Since I can find you, others can too. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you find me so early." Jiang Sui said, "Rather than putting you in danger, I think it's safer to watch over you personally. Of course, when I found you, I already had bodyguards around you, so you're safe at all times."

"Then why are you still wearing this?" Yue Qing pointed at his mask.

"You discovered it because we often meet." Jiang Suizhi said with a smile, "But those people are not as perceptive as you. It will take them a while to investigate. Before that, I will resolve the matter as soon as possible."

He took the time to turn around and glance at the person next to him. Noticing that the other person didn't look afraid at all, he felt relieved and turned his attention back to the front. "In a sense, we are half family. In my opinion, you are more trustworthy than others, and you are also very smart. So these things should be known to you, and only you can know them."

Now Yueqing completely understood the whole story.

Long before he discovered Jiang Sui's identity, he had already made every move.

He approached her intentionally, observing her while arousing her suspicion, until his identity was successfully discovered and the two of them could reach a consensus and then face the outside world in unison.

Although it makes sense, I always feel like I've walked into a trap.

It was obvious that she was just a bystander.

But Yueqing couldn't say no, not because of Jiang Suizhi, but because of the two children.

She couldn't do it if it really put the two children in danger.

"I understand." She nodded. "If there's anything you need from me, just let me know."

This conversation went much more smoothly than Jiang Sui had imagined. As expected, Yue Qing was very rational and able to analyze the pros and cons.

"Thank you," he said.

They soon arrived at their destination. Jiang parked the car in the parking lot and got out with Yueqing.

Yue Qing was puzzled: "Are you going too?"

It will be night time.

"No." Jiang then pointed to another car in the corner and said, "Change it back in the evening."

The two cars have completely different styles, and at first glance, they seem to be of different quality. Yue Qing thought that he was trying to deceive people in the dark, so it was no wonder that he had to cover up so tightly when going out.

"Okay." Yue Qing pushed the suitcase forward, "Then be careful."

Hearing this, Jiang Sui couldn't help but look at her, but he saw that her eyes were calm without any other expression, as if this sentence was just an ordinary greeting.

He smiled and said, "See you tonight."

Yue Qing's figure pushing the box quickly disappeared in the elevator, and Jiang Suizhi got into the car that his assistant had been waiting for. Before leaving, he glanced in the direction Yue Qing left, suddenly remembered something, took out his mobile phone and sent a message.

"My brother's death anniversary is in a few days. If necessary, I can arrange for you to meet alone."

Meet alone?

I can understand it no matter how I take it apart, but I can't understand it when I put it together.

What does Jiang Sui's brother's death anniversary have to do with him?

Or do you want the two children to go?

Judging from his tone, this brother must be very close to him.

So Yue Qing thought about it and asked, "Will it affect your arrangements?"

Jiang Suizhi replied: "No."

"Okay then."

-

Suddenly stepping onto the stage of international photographers from a small model, Yue Qing would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous. After following the instructions to the lounge, she sat on the small sofa and calmly recalled the temporary answer elements for the interview that she had searched for the night before.

But today's interview was not just for her and Lin Jian. There were also many models and artists who appeared in the same magazine. The artists had their own lounge, and the less famous models were in the same lounge.

Yue Qing, who had not officially debuted, was naturally arranged together with other models.

The people coming and going outside are more dazzling and more exquisite than each other.

In comparison, Yue Qing, who was sitting in the corner wearing a black coat and an ordinary sweater, looking down at her phone and preparing for the interview, looked much more ordinary. No one noticed her because of the several makeup mirrors between them.

A few models who came together sat in front of the makeup mirror and removed their makeup. The staff members were busy and started chatting with smiles: "Did you see Lin She when you came? She hasn't arrived yet?"

"It's still early. She has her own makeup artist, so she doesn't need to come so early." Another person continued.

"Where's that cover girl?" The woman who spoke first said casually, "She hasn't even debuted yet, so why is she so pretentious?"

"She's a cover girl, so she should be a bit more stylish."

Originally, Yue Qing didn't pay attention to who the cover girl these people were talking about was, but she couldn't help but think that these people mentioned her twice every three sentences, and finally she could relate to her. She calmly exited the information interface she was viewing and listened quietly.

"Gu Meng, you and Lin She have known each other for almost five years, right? Weren't you still in touch when you returned to China this time? I thought your cooperation was stable. Lin She has always liked your style. What a pity."

"Yeah, that one called Yueqing. I've never heard of it before. It's just that he's a bit popular online, and he got famous by marketing children."

The person called Gu Meng was the one who started the conversation. Her expression was not very good to begin with, and after hearing this, it became even darker. "Who knows, but I heard that she has a good relationship with Young Master Lin."

As soon as these words came out, several people laughed knowingly: "Young Master Lin has been in and out of the entertainment industry for so many years. Now that I think about it, it's quite sudden that he likes those two children. He speaks for them online every day. What if there is some inside story?"

"Then I'll be convinced." Gu Meng said, "It's because I can't catch Mr. Lin's eye, and I don't have two children."

The entire lounge was filled with the laughter of these people.

Yue Qing wanted to laugh when she heard this. She had heard these groundless speculations since she was a child and had become numb to them.

She used to be puzzled as to why some people would be subject to so many malicious speculations even though they had done nothing wrong, but she got the idea over time.

Some people's speculations do not require reasons or logic, they are simply to satisfy the injustice and anger in their hearts in order to find balance.

It's quite funny.

There was a knock on the lounge door: "Is Miss Yueqing here? We need to review the manuscript in advance."

Yue Qing put away his phone and walked over: "Here."

The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it instantly silenced the chattering crowd.

The small sofa in the lounge was a bit low to begin with, and when Yue Qing stood up, her entire body appeared from the makeup mirror in the corner.

Compared to Gu Meng and the others who had half of their makeup removed, she glowed faintly under the light without makeup, and her facial features were undecorated, delicate and eye-catching, but her eyes were so calm that it made people uneasy.

He was able to remain so calm after being tickled by crickets, without any anger or irritation. This mentality was far superior to that of other people.

And she even nodded to them as she walked over.

It instantly broke the defense of several people and their faces became extremely ugly.

After Yue Qing left, no one spoke. This time, Gu Meng stood up and looked around the lounge. After confirming that no one was around, she said angrily, "She clearly heard it but she kept silent. Was she just waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves?"

This time, the other few people really didn't dare to say a word.

The first reason was that they were afraid that someone might eavesdrop again, and the second reason was that Yue Qing’s calmness and indifference just now made them feel a little embarrassed.

It's like you run up to someone and use your ultimate right in front of them, but in the end, not only is they not hurt, but they also take over your base right in front of you.

Finally, someone couldn't help but whisper, "What if she complains to Lin She?"

It was obvious that she couldn't make it to the cover, so she could only make up the inside pages. If Lin She knew about it, all the inside pages would be gone, and she might even be excluded from the circle of photographers of her level.

Gu Meng stamped her feet: "She dares."

The voice wasn't so confident.

At the same time, the two kids at home were sitting in the rocking car and started missing their aunt.

They didn't feel anything when their aunt was around every day, but now that she has been away for just a while they feel like a very important person is missing from the family, which has led to them not even taking the rocking car seriously.

After Sister Wang packed up everything, she washed the fruit and brought it out: "Jia Jia An An, come over for a physical check-up. You can have some fruit later."

Since Aunt Wang came to our house, the two kids have to have daily physical examinations, and they have become accustomed to it.

Little Le Jia turned off the rocking car, jumped out and held his sister with his hand: "Here I come."

Hearing the unusual tone, Sister Wang looked over sensitively and saw that the two children looked listless. She thought the children were sick.

She gave the children a quick checkup and everything was normal.

But my brother lay on the sofa: "Ah..."

My sister also lay on the other side, sticking out her butt: "Ah..."

This worried look made Sister Wang couldn't help but ask: "Did something happen?"

"Auntie Wang." Little Le Jia tilted his head, "Do you miss your aunt?"

Sister Wang then realized that the children were becoming dependent out of inertia.

"I do." She echoed the child, "But your aunt said she's going to work and will be back in the evening."

"But." Xiao Le'an counted on his fingers, "Aunt has already left one, two, three, which is quite some time."

She had never found time so difficult to bear.

Isn't it less than two hours?

Meibao pursed her lips and whispered, "Auntie hasn't been away for so long."

It turns out that you have never left your aunt. Sister Wang can understand it now.

"Aren't you brave, babies?" she said. "Brave babies, you need to gradually learn to adapt to your absence. You will have to go to school later, and I won't be able to accompany you to kindergarten."

Kindergarten again!

Xiao Le'an carefully analyzed the pros and cons of this matter and felt that nothing was more serious than his aunt leaving.

"Then An An doesn't want to be brave anymore," she said firmly, "and doesn't want to go to kindergarten either."

After hearing this, Sister Wang felt that Miss Yueqing might encounter great obstacles when sending her child to kindergarten.

But she didn't understand why the children were so dependent on Yueqing. They had been bullied by their bad aunt for a long time, and finally they had a good aunt. They were worried that if the good aunt was gone, they would be unwanted children.

Fortunately, Sister Wang didn't force the children to be independent. Instead, she took out the tablet and placed it on the coffee table: "Then I'll take you to see Auntie at work, okay?"

She remembered that Miss Yueqing's interview program today was live.

When the two kids heard this, they thought it was a good idea, so they sat obediently on the carpet waiting for their aunt to show up.

"I know this." Little Le Jia nodded, "Sister, we have done this too."

During the Chinese New Year, there were so many people watching them and their aunt making dumplings.

Little Le'an also remembered that he could type on it so that his aunt could see it!

It’s a pity that they can’t read. Now that their aunt hasn’t come out yet, the two kids are frantically finding all kinds of love emoticons on the screen and sending them. Can’t they send emoticons even if they can’t write?

Models are never as well-known as entertainers. No matter how famous a photographer like Lin Jian is, he is only known to people in the circle, and is far behind those celebrity entertainers. Therefore, there were not many people coming to the live interview without entertainers at the beginning. There were only some netizens who were idle and waiting in the live broadcast room, sparsely scrolling through some irrelevant chats and expressions.

After the two children's expressions were posted, the barrage was blank for a few seconds, and then a lot of question marks appeared.

[I clicked in to check and make sure I saw it right. How did my cloud-raised child end up on the wrong set?]

【Come here quickly, let auntie kiss you. 】

[I suddenly remembered that Lin Jian had posted on Weibo about the cover girl for this time. Her name is Yue Qing, and she seems to be the aunt of the kids.]

[That makes sense. I'm here to help my aunt.]

Yue Qing became a cover girl before she even made her debut, and now she has a child before she even appears. Isn't she using the child to increase her popularity?

[Popularity? You're so anxious to get attention just because someone else sent you a few emojis? Don't worry, you have sensitive skin!]

[Is there anyone translating this time? Can you understand what we're saying? Why are you constantly sending emojis?]

It's obvious that the kids don't understand at all.

But because of their sudden appearance, they brought a lot of viewers to the live broadcast room, which originally had little traffic.

The staff in charge of the backstage were very surprised to see this.

I originally thought that it would take a while for people to come up after the formal interview started, but I didn't expect that someone would actually stir up the heat at this moment, and they were two children.

After thinking about it, I decided to do whatever it takes to gain attention. Since the babies couldn't read, the staff would help them, so I quickly decided to connect via microphone.

Yue Qing knew nothing about this. After she finished reviewing the script with the staff, she met Lin Jian and went to Lin Jian's studio to put on makeup. Now she was changing clothes and preparing to start recording.

A staff member came in and joked, "Teacher Yueqing, do you have a warm-up session for your interview?"

Yue Qing was bewildered: "What?"

“Don’t you know?” the staff member said, “Your child has been advertising for you in the live broadcast room for a long time.”

child?

"Aren't they at home?" Lin Jian asked.

"Yeah." Yue Qing stood up, "I'll go take a look."

The staff nearby were really surprised by Yue Qing's sudden stand-up. Yue Qing had been dressed too simply when he came before, and if they hadn't seen his face, they would have mistaken him for someone from some department.

Now she has changed into a dress and high heels, with delicate but not exaggerated makeup on her face. The moment she stands up, her aura suddenly rises several levels, and she is so beautiful that people dare not look directly at her.

Isn’t this even better than the photo on the cover!

"That's perfect, let's go together." Lin Jian followed her, "It's about to start."

When the two arrived, the entire workshop was filled with laughter. The staff gathered together and smiled like flowers. The childish voices of children came from the equipment, sounding like singing.

Three-quarters of a line is out of tune.

Yes, that’s the style of her children.

"My aunt is shy and doesn't like to talk." After the song was finished, little Le Jia's voice came from inside, "Uncles and aunts, please be nice to her."

"What good will it do to be nice to her?"

The sound from the other end paused for a few seconds, and whispers of discussion were heard.

Little Le Jia: "I'll eat one less and you'll eat one less. We can save some and give them to our uncle and aunt."

Meibao: "Then I won't eat it. Give it all to uncle and auntie. Is that enough, brother?"

"That's enough." Little Le Jia sighed maturely, very worried, "What will my aunt do when we're not around?"

He remembered that his aunt was very nervous when she went to see Uncle Tan last time.

"Then it's settled." Little Le Jia thought he had been discussing things quietly, then raised his voice considerably, "We have candy for everyone."

Yue Qing, who was once again clearly arranged by Zizi, said: "..."

This interview is not actually necessary.

Lin Jian, who had watched the entire process, laughed so hard that he covered his stomach. He nudged Yue Qing and said, "If you don't go over there now, your child might pop out of the screen and do the interview for you."

When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and found that the protagonist had arrived.

The staff who had been teasing the two children were very embarrassed: "Teacher Lin, Teacher Yueqing, we can start right away!"

Yue Qing silently looked at their live broadcast which was still going on.

"Ah, this..." The staff member was about to turn off the microphone, but the PD clapped his hands.

"Both teachers, please say hello to the child, especially Teacher Yueqing. They really care about you."

Everyone in the workshop couldn't help but laugh softly again.

Lin Jian pushed Yue Qing towards the camera. The latter walked forward with strong composure and red ears and sat in the position designated by the PD. None of the prepared speeches were used at this moment.

It was Lin Jian who greeted her first before she could regain her voice: "Hello everyone, I'm Yueqing. As for your brothers and sisters, go and ride the rocking car."

The cheers of the kids were clearly heard in the live broadcast.

Meibao: "Ahhhhh it's my aunt, my brother is my aunt! My aunt looks prettier than the princess today! She's really on TV!"

Brother: "See? Our candies are working. Come on, give Auntie some encouragement."

Meibao: "Come on, auntie! You're the best!"

Little Le Jia: "That's right, be frank and open. You should learn this way in the future, sister."

Lin Jian couldn't hold it back any longer and burst out laughing.

Yue Qing's originally fair neck was now red. She couldn't lose her composure in front of the camera, but her embarrassment was seen by everyone in the live broadcast room.

For the first time, Yue Qing didn't want to hear the two children's voices at this time. She couldn't help it and said with a stern face: "Can't we really disconnect the microphone? I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself later."

Given that these two children dared to force their own father to drink milk from a bottle, she couldn't guarantee what would happen in the live broadcast room next.

[I am dying of laughter, Yue Qing before the interview: first collaboration with a well-known photographer, first cover, glorious debut in the beauty category.

After the interview: Social death debut. 】

Yueqing: Even if we take a step back, do I really have to come to this interview?

[Auntie, why don’t you smile? Don’t you like it? ]

Aunt: Filial piety, truly too filial.

But honestly, their family dynamic is truly endearing. I used to think Yueqing was a gentle, distant beauty, but now I realize she's such a contrastingly cute character. She's so adorable when she's feigning composure.

Seeing that the expected effect had been achieved, the staff said goodbye to the two kids and planned to disconnect the call.

Although they were very disappointed, the kids knew they couldn't delay their aunt's work, so they said goodbye obediently.

Even from a distance, you can hear their reluctance to leave.

Yue Qing could easily imagine what their expressions were like now. Their mouths were pouty and their hair might have flattened. The kids didn't know how to live stream, so it must be Sister Wang who found a live streaming room for them.

They must be thinking about themselves.

Yue Qing blinked uncontrollably: "Please wait a moment."

PD: “What’s wrong?”

"I want to say something to them." This wasn't the first time she'd been embarrassed, but Yue Qing adjusted quickly and now had calmed down. She looked at the camera and smiled softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll be home early."

The two boys who originally thought that they were ignored by their aunt immediately became excited when they heard it. Their aunt must be talking to them!

"Auntie, we are good and obedient!" Little Le Jia shouted happily, "We are all good and obedient! Don't work hard for me."

Yue Qing nodded: "Yeah, see you later."

"Auntie Bobo! Bye~"

After receiving Yue Qing's gaze, the PD disconnected the microphone and started the formal interview.

But it is obvious that the barrage is no longer interested in the future work plans and shooting insights of the two people on the screen. After saying goodbye to embarrassment, Yue Qing was calm and composed, and could handle every question with ease. She was so dazzlingly beautiful in the camera that those who had doubts about the cover girl were even more speechless.

[This face is truly magnificent. Sister, when you're recording videos for your children, can't you record more of yourself?]

What is this little mouth saying as it opens and closes? So beautiful, I can't understand. So beautiful, I can't understand. Hehe.

[She kept grinning at me, wondering if she liked me.] The two kids, who could no longer speak, lay in front of the tablet, watching their aunt intently.

What to do, I still miss it after seeing it.

Especially the aunt in the camera looks much farther away than usual, and those people seem to like her very much.

The kids felt a sense of crisis and stared at the screen intently, even if they couldn't read!

Soon it was time for other models to come over for the interview. Several of them sat in a row on the sofa and answered questions one by one.

Xiao Le'an noticed something was wrong as he watched: "Brother."

"What's the matter."

"This person." Xiao Le'an pointed at an aunt next to his aunt, "She's so weird."

Little Lejia was curious: "Can you see eyes through the tablet?"

"I can't see clearly." Xiao Le'an moved closer. "But brother, this aunt doesn't like my aunt. Will she bully my aunt?"

That was all she could see.

What if my aunt is really bullied?

Just then the doorbell rang. The two kids stared at the door and saw Aunt Wang open it: "Mr. Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Shengxi, who was notified by his sister and boss to come over, put down his toys and said, "I heard that no one is with the baby today, so I'll be the tool."

He waved to the two cubs: "Hey, did you miss your uncle?"

He paused, folding his arms, "Why do you look like you don't want to see me?"

"Uncle Lin!" Little Le Jia stood up and rushed over. This time, he didn't even bother to look at the toys. He just hugged Uncle Lin's thighs and said, "Will Uncle Lin take us to protect Auntie?"

Lin Shengxi: “Ah?”

When will it be his turn to do this?
