Chapter 40: Proposal I have never seen anyone scold me so harshly. …
On the other side, Ling Mo also came to the door of Qiao Shiyu's apartment, took a deep breath, and rang the doorbell.
Qiao Shiyu, who was playing Lego with Lele, heard the doorbell, paused, smiled at Lele, and said, "Lele, Mommy is going to open the door."
Lele waved her hand, "Go quickly, Mom."
Qiao Shiyu opened the door, and the two of them looked at each other in silence for a moment.
"Come in first!" Qiao Shiyu reacted and opened the door.
Ling Mo said politely: "Thank you."
After entering the door, Ling Mo's eyes first fell on the little girl on the tatami.
His eyes unconsciously softened a lot.
Is this his daughter? She's so cute.
When Qiao Shiyu saw Ling Mo's eyes fall on Lele, her eyes flashed.
"Mr. Ling, please sit down first." Qiao Shiyu greeted Ling Mo.
Then he walked towards Lele and said, "Lele, look quickly, who's here."
Lele looked up when he heard the voice and saw Ling Mo. He blinked his eyes, got down from the tatami, put on his bunny cotton slippers, walked to Ling Mo, looked him up and down, and shouted crisply, "Dad."
The word "Dad" made Ling Mo's heart sour unconsciously. He grinned widely and quickly responded, "Hey!"
"Le Le, come closer and let daddy take a good look at you, okay?" Ling Mo stretched out his hands towards Le Le with a slight tremor in his voice.
Upon hearing this, Lele looked back at Qiao Shiyu, and under Qiao Shiyu's encouraging gaze, she walked in front of Ling Mo.
Ling Mo held Lele and sat him on his knees. He looked down at Lele and said seriously, "I'm sorry, Lele, I didn't show up before. Thank you Lele for being willing to recognize me as your dad and calling me dad."
Lele shook his head: "Don't blame you, Dad didn't know about Lele before."
Seeing that Lele's words were sincere, Ling Mo's heart softened again.
He turned around and looked at Qiao Shiyu: "You sit down too!"
Qiao Shiyu walked to the sofa opposite and sat down.
Ling Mo looked at Qiao Shiyu and said seriously, "I wonder what Miss Qiao thinks of me?"
Qiao Shiyu was slightly stunned: "I don't quite understand what Mr. Ling means."
Ling Mo said: "Then I will get straight to the point. If Miss Qiao doesn't hate me, I would like to propose to Miss Qiao in advance. I hope that after I divorce my current wife, we can form a family together and give Lele a complete home."
"Si Yan should have told you that my current wife cheated on me three years ago. I didn't divorce her before because I didn't think it was necessary. Now, I will deal with the divorce as soon as possible."
It doesn't take a long time to understand a person. The first time he saw Qiao Shiyu, he could tell that her eyes were very clear, and he could see tranquility and peace in them.
When he looked at Lele, there was more tenderness and doting in his eyes.
The most important one is Lele, who is innocent, smart, generous and considerate.
It is said that one learns through seeing and hearing, and through words and deeds.
Lele must have been influenced by Qiao Shiyu.
"Although I have no experience before, I will learn how to be a qualified father and husband. Of course, I know that my request is very abrupt, and Miss Qiao must have concerns. Miss Qiao does not have to rush to make a decision. You can get to know me first and then make a decision."
"If Miss Qiao is unwilling to accept my proposal in the end, I also respect Miss Qiao's choice. But please allow me to visit Lele at school often and take her out to play every week." Ling Mo said sincerely.
Qiao Shiyu folded her hands on her knees, swirling her thumbs in circles on her palms, and lowered her eyes to hide her emotions: "Don't think about it. Lele wants to live with his father, so I am willing to marry Mr. Ling."
Lele sat on Ling Mo's lap, looking at her mother with her big eyes, blinking.
Ling Mo was a little surprised and asked, "Miss Qiao, do you really not need to think about it again? Miss Qiao raised Lele very well before, and it can be seen that Lele has not been traumatized by the absence of his father. Marriage is not a joke. Although marriage is for Lele, if we cannot live in harmony, it will be detrimental to Lele's growth."
Qiao Shiyu raised her head and looked into Ling Mo's eyes: "So, Mr. Ling regrets it again."
Ling Mo smiled bitterly, "That's not what I meant. I'm just afraid that you'll regret it."
In fact, he has no confidence in being a good husband.
He once tried hard to manage his marriage with Zhao Qian, but the result was counterproductive.
He didn't have the patience to deal with an unreasonable wife, and eventually he and Zhao Qian became fed up with each other.
So I hope Qiao Shiyu can make a decision after having a basic understanding of him.
He didn't want to rush into marriage with Qiao Shiyu, and end up like he did with Zhao Qian, ultimately hurting Lele.
Qiao Shiyu looked at the man she had secretly loved for 12 years and smiled slightly.
"I once watched an interview where the host asked the guest about their views on love. The host asked, 'Should a girl marry someone she loves, or someone who loves her, or do they have to like each other before they can get married?' The female guest's answer was very impressive. She said, 'You should marry someone who loves you and is a good person.'"
"Because love will disappear, but responsibility will not."
And she chose to marry the man she loved and who was a good person.
"Although Mr. Ling doesn't love me, Mr. Ling proposed to me after only meeting me once. I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years and I have some insight into people. You are a very good person and Lele's father. So, I think I can form a family with you, manage the marriage well, and give Lele a complete home."
Ling Mo looked at Qiao Shiyu deeply.
Just when he was about to say something, Qiao Shiyu's cell phone on the table rang.
Qiao Shiyu glanced at the caller ID and reached out to hang up the phone.
But the next moment the phone vibrated again.
Qiao Shiyu reached out and picked up the phone, and said to Ling Mo: "Sorry, I have to take a call."
Ling Mo said: "It's okay, you answer it."
Qiao Shiyu didn't mean to be shy and answered the call directly.
"Qiao Shiyu, how dare you hang up on me!" A man's unhappy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. He, is there anything I can help you with?" Qiao Shiyu asked calmly.
"Qiao Shiyu, you haven't answered me yet, why did you hang up on me just now?"
"Mr. He, if you have nothing else to do, I'll hang up first." The two of them had basically torn their faces apart, so there was no need for Qiao Shiyu to show any mercy when she spoke.
"Wait!" The other end called out quickly, "VR Fashion Magazine has a cover shoot, and the artist originally scheduled for the shoot had some problems and can't make it in time. We need you to come over to save the situation."
Qiao Shiyu was so angry that she laughed. "Boss He, VR is just a small magazine. Their cover shoot can only be considered a third-tier resource. You are so greedy!"
"Mr. Qiao, please don't be so harsh! Just tell me whether you are going or not. As long as the contract has not ended, you must follow the company's arrangements. Otherwise, you can be willing to pay the penalty."
Qiao Shiyu took a deep breath and said, "Send me the address."
"Great. I've sent it to your phone. Work hard, and now I'm hanging up." He got the result he wanted and didn't bother with any further questions.
The room was very quiet and Ling Mo heard everything that was said on the other end of the phone.
"If you don't want to go, just terminate your contract with Canxing." Ling Mo looked at Qiao Shiyu and said.
"Forget it, today is the last day of the contract." Qiao Shiyu shook her head, "After today, Canxing and I will owe each other nothing. Besides, I don't want to give money to He Zhiyuan."
Ling Mo nodded and respected her choice.
Qiao Shiyu smiled apologetically, "I have to go out to complete this notice. Can you trouble Mr. Ling to take care of Lele first?"
Before Ling Mo could speak, Lele spoke first: "Mom, I want to go too, can I? I want to pick you up from get off work, and I won't disturb you at work."
Qiao Shiyu was in a dilemma. In order to prevent Lele from being exposed to the public, where her every word and action would be scrutinized under a magnifying glass, she usually would not bring Lele to work.
Moreover, she was worried about leaving Lele alone when she went to work.
"If Lele wants to go, let her go!" Ling Mo smiled at Lele, looked up at Qiao Shiyu, and suggested: "I can go with you. I will take good care of Lele. How about it?"
Qiao Shiyu thought for a moment and nodded: "But you two have to disguise yourself. I don't want to be on the hot search."
Ling Mo and Le Le smiled at each other and said in unison: "No problem."
Qiao Shiyu looked at this scene, a smile flashing in her eyes.
Half an hour later, the three arrived at the shooting site.
In the dressing room, before Qiao Shiyu left, she said to the father and daughter, "There are fruits here. You can eat while you rest. You can also go out for a walk if you want, but remember to wear a mask."
"Okay, come on, Mom. See you later." Lele waved to Qiao Shiyu in Ling Mo's arms.
Ling Mo also said: "Okay, I know."
When Qiao Shiyu arrived at the studio, she saw that it was bustling with noise.
A group of people gathered together, and a female voice came from the crowd:
"What? A third-rate magazine. I came here to shoot for you guys. But I'm only shooting for the inside pages! Do you know who I am? I'm the eldest daughter of the Han family."
"What's wrong with the movie queen? To put it bluntly, she's just an actor, a low-class person. Does she deserve me to be her foil?"
Everyone was secretly complaining in their hearts: I have never seen anyone scold me so harshly.
However, they only dared to complain in their hearts.
Although the Han family is not considered a big family in City A, it is not someone that grassroots people like them can afford to offend.
Qiao Shiyu raised her eyebrows and walked forward.
Seeing her coming, everyone made way for her, revealing a girl in a yellow dress sitting in front of a round table with her legs crossed.
She looks like a pretty girl, but her mean look makes it hard for people to like her.
Han Zhiyan narrowed her eyes and looked at the extremely beautiful Qiao Shiyu, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
"Are you Qiao Shiyu?" Han Zhiyan stood up, crossed her arms, and looked proud. "If you know what's best for you, give me the cover and move to the inside pages."
Qiao Shiyu looked at the familiar artist assistant with a bitter face standing behind Han Zhiyan and sneered in her heart. This He Zhiyuan really picked up all the good and bad things into the company.
"Why? Because you're so thick-skinned?"
Although she looked down on this resource, if she gave it up today, wouldn't anyone be able to step on her in the future?
“Bang!”
A loud slap was heard.
"You are a bitch who climbed onto the bed, why are you so arrogant! You are old and ugly, but you still show off your coquettishness all day long."
"Ah! Queen Qiao, your face." The crowd exclaimed.
