The two of them strolled around the food street until before boarding the plane. They didn't eat much, but Du Yuanzhe was very familiar with the various snacks in the food street. He never stopped eating since he entered the food street and enthusiastically introduced them to Xia Ningmi.
Xia Ningmi liked listening to him talk about the past, and she didn't think he was nagging. They couldn't both be dull, one of them had to talk more.
Just like in the Du family, Chen Rongshan talks a lot, and Du Yongliang spends more time listening to her. The couple rarely have conflicts. Du Yongliang says that he dislikes Chen Rongshan for talking too much, but in fact he always stays in the living room. As long as he does not go out, he will definitely stay in the living room. Both the Du Yuanzhe brothers know that he does not mean what he says.
Two hours before the flight took off, the two returned to the hotel, returned the car with the rental company, and then took a taxi to the airport with their luggage.
Two hours later, the two arrived in Yancheng.
Xiaopang was waiting outside the airport, and when he saw the two people coming out, he immediately got out of the car to help put the luggage in the trunk. Xiaopang's eyes fell on the two people's holding hands, and he was vaguely excited. He wanted to take a picture and post it on Weibo to show off to those ** who were trying to match Xia Ning up.
After getting in the car, Xia Ning said, "Let's go to the company first."
Xiaopang nodded: "Okay, Mr. Xia."
With Xia Ningmi around, Xiaopang felt a little reserved and didn't dare to say much.
Du Yuanzhe asked, "You have to work right after you come back?"
Xia Ning said: "I just saw the news about Cheng Yu. Something happened in the overseas company. I need to go back to the company immediately to find out."
Du Yuanzhe said helplessly: "You've only been away for three days and something has happened. Can't this company be transferred without the president?"
"We can also check in remotely via video, but now that we are back, it is more convenient to go to the company."
At this moment, Du Yuanzhe's cell phone rang. It was Chen Rongsan who opened it.
"Yuanzhe, go home for dinner tonight."
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Mom, do you have clairvoyance? I just got back and I received your call."
Chen Rongshan wondered: "Where did you go?"
Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "Didn't I tell you?"
Oh, by the way, since he was only going to be away for three days, he only told Liu Xu.
Chen Rongshan said unhappily, "As expected, a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother. You don't even tell your family what you are doing now."
Du Yuanzhe said, "I'm just going to Jiangcheng. It's nothing important so I didn't tell you. I will definitely go home for dinner in the evening. But you look so happy, mom. Is there something happy?"
Chen Rongshan smiled and said, "You'll know when you get home."
After hanging up the phone, Du Yuanzhe guessed, "It looks like there is some happy news. It can make my mother so happy, so it must be a big one. Did my father promise her something?"
Soon they arrived at the company, and Xia Ningmi asked, "Are you coming back tonight?"
Du Yuanzhe thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been home for a month. I don't think my mother will let me come back."
When Xia Ningmi walked into the company, Xiaopang asked, "Brother Zhe, are we going back to Huahu Apartment or the old house?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "Let's go back to Huahu Apartment first. I have to put down my luggage."
They bought a lot of things in Jiangcheng, and it was impossible to take so much luggage to the old house.
The car started again.
Xiaopang asked, "Brother Zhe, did you have fun these three days?"
"I'm very happy." Du Yuanzhe looked at him and asked, "Do you want to ask for details?"
Xiaopang's eyes lit up and he nodded rapidly.
Du Yuanzhe smiled at him, then turned expressionless the next moment: "Don't even think about it."
Xiaopang's expression froze: "Brother Zhe, please at least understand the feelings of a CP fan like me. I have scolded many fans who randomly paired Mr. Xia with you."
Du Yuanzhe raised his eyebrows: "In their eyes, you are also a matchmaker, so they didn't scold you?"
"Swear."
Du Yuanzhe was curious: "Who won?"
Xiaopang said unnaturally: "They won. But it's because there are too many of them. When you become famous, Brother Zhe, we will definitely be able to scold them."
Du Yuanzhe said unhappily, "So you just want to use me to quarrel with you."
Xiaopang shrank his neck and said, "I am doing this to protect your position as the queen, Brother Zhe."
"Where did you learn these crap words? And you still want to be the queen?"
Du Yuanzhe was speechless.
Back at Huahu Apartment, Du Yuanzhe asked Xiaopang to drive back. He went upstairs to put down his luggage and drove back to the Du family's old house without staying long.
Du Family Old House
As soon as Du Yuanzhe entered the room, he saw Chen Rongsan wiping the statue of Guanyin, the goddess of fertility, in the living room. She looked very careful and pious.
He walked up to Du Yongliang and whispered, "Dad, what happened to my mom?"
Du Yongliang said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and your mother thinks it's the miracle of Guanyin, the goddess of fertility. Hum, you just believe in superstition."
Although he was complaining, you could tell from the smile on his face that Du Yongliang was also very happy about Zhao Zhimeng's pregnancy.
It seems that wanting a third generation is not only Chen Rongsan's wish, but also Du Yongliang's. It's just that he doesn't talk much in daily life and has never mentioned this matter. It is estimated that the old couple has been complaining about it in private.
Du Yuanzhe was thinking a lot, and he said loudly: "Congratulations, Mom, you are finally going to have a grandson."
Chen Rongshan smiled so hard that she couldn't stop. She corrected him by saying, "We don't know whether it's a boy or a girl yet. Don't put pressure on your sister-in-law by talking nonsense. We don't favor boys over girls in our family. I gave birth to you two little brats, and I'm dying for a granddaughter."
She had always said that she wanted to have a grandson, but now that she was pregnant, she didn't allow anyone to say that anymore.
Du Yongliang rarely agreed with her: "Your mother is right. Girls are more competitive than boys nowadays. Look at Xia Ningmi. How many people in Yancheng can compare to her?"
Very good, his Qiqi has become a role model.
Du Yuanzhe was honored!
Du Yuanzhe certainly would not dampen their parents' interest and said, "After hearing what my parents said, I also want a cute little niece."
"I want to give birth to my own child!"
Du Yuanwen and Zhao Zhimeng walked in together.
Chen Rongshan immediately came over and asked with concern: "Zhi Meng, are you okay? Why don't you stay at home and take care of the baby first?"
Zhao Zhimeng was helpless: "Mom, it's only been a month. I'm fine. The doctor told me to do what I should do and just be careful."
Zhao Zhimeng is a person who cannot sit still. If she stays at home for nine months, she will be suffocated to death.
Du Yuanwen said, "Mom, you know Zhimeng well. She can't sit still. If she stays at home, it will definitely affect her mood."
Chen Rongshan had no choice but to give up: "Forget it then."
A woman's mood is very important when she is pregnant. Chen Rongshan has had two experiences and will certainly not make this mistake.
Du Yuanwen looked at Du Yuanzhe and said, "If you really like children, just give birth to oneself."
Du Yuanzhe rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "You're going to urge me now that you have a child, right?"
Du Yuanwen nodded calmly: "Let you feel the feeling of being urged."
"But brother, are you overlooking something? I'm not married yet."
"Pushing you to have a baby is the same as urging you to get married. It's the same thing."
Du Yuanzhe didn't want to pay attention to him. He looked at Zhao Zhimeng and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard that pregnant women have more emotional ups and downs. You don't have to worry about it. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can vent your anger on my brother. He can't bear the pain of carrying a child for you, so he has to compensate you somewhere else."
Zhao Zhimeng smiled and said, "Yuanzhe's words are pleasing to the ear. I'll remember them."
Du Yuanzhe continued: "I can also help if necessary."
Du Yuanwen glared at him: "What are you doing for me? Are you helping me to vent my anger on me?"
"Don't misunderstand me, brother. I don't mean that."
Du Yuanwen snorted coldly, turned around and said to Chen Rongshan, "Mom, Yuanzhe is almost 30 years old. It's too late for him to get married now. You have a lot of information about girls. I think you can arrange a date for Yuanzhe."
Du Yuanzhe's eyes widened: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, I'm still far from thirty."
He hasn't even turned twenty-seven yet.
Chen Rongshan glanced at him, and thinking of Wei Lingling's existence, she sighed and said, "It's up to him as to whether he wants to get married or not. I won't force him."
She didn't dare to force him. If Du Yuanzhe insisted on marrying Wei Lingling, she would be the one who would be upset.
Chen Rongshan would rather Du Yuanzhe not get married.
Du Yuanzhe breathed a relief of relief. If Chen Rongsan really wanted to arrange a blind sigh date for him, he would have to tell her that he had a girlfriend. By then, even Zhao Zhimeng's joy at being pregnant would not be able to cover up Chen Rongsan's resistance to Xia Ningmi.
Du Yuanwen gave Du Yuanzhe a look that said "good luck to you".
Du Yuanzhe curled his lips and asked, "Is Mr. Jiang going to hold a birthday banquet?"
Zhao Zhimeng nodded: "Half a month later, the Jiang family has sent the invitation."
"Will we go then?"
After all, the two companies had just had a small comparison before.
Du Yuanwen said, "I will go alone, but I have to give face to Mr. Jiang."
Du Yuanzhe understood and said, "Then I will go with my elder brother."
Du Yuanwen was curious: "I asked you to go before but you didn't go. Why are you so proactive this time?"
Du Yuanzhe said, "I'll go see if there's anything lively."
Zhao Zhimeng shook his head: "You didn't care about anything before, but now you care about everything."
Du Yuanzhe explained: "Sister-in-law is wrong. I don't care about other things. I only care about Jiang Chelin."
In fact, he is more interested in Wang Linxuan and her luck-plundering system, but he certainly cannot tell them about this.
Zhao Zhimeng shook his head helplessly. It turned out that the greatest hatred between men was always because of women.
Du Yuanwen learned some inside information from Zhao Zhimeng and understood why Du Yuanzhe targeted Jiang Chelin. He did not ask any more questions and said, "Then come to the company to find me, and we will go together to celebrate Mr. Jiang's birthday."
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "Brother, remember to send me the birthday banquet time."
Birthday banquets are usually held at night, so at worst Du Yuanzhe can just tell the director that he will leave early.
Mr. Jiang's birthday banquet is an opportunity to meet Wang Lianxuan, and Du Yuanzhe cannot miss this opportunity.
After they chatted for a while, the nanny reminded them that the meal was ready. The family went into the restaurant to eat. After taking two bites, Zhao Zhimeng suddenly stood up, covering his mouth, and ran into the bathroom. Du Yuanwen hurriedly followed him.
Chen Rongshan sighed: "This is what it's like when a woman is pregnant. It's torture from the first month to the last month."
Du Yuanzhe immediately picked up some food for Chen Rongshan and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
Chen Rongshan's eyebrows relaxed: "Mom knows that Yuanzhe is filial."
After a while, Du Yuanwen and his companions came back.
Chen Rongshan said, "Pregnant women's tastes will become strange. Just tell me what you like to eat and let Sister Wang and the others make it specially for you."
Zhao Zhimeng knew this was not the time to be polite, so he said, "Thank you for your concern, Mom."
Du Yuanwen asked, "What do you want to eat now? I'll go buy it for you."
Zhao Zhimeng shook his head: "It's not that time yet. I just can't stand the taste of meat. I'll just eat vegetarian food."
The more you get into the later stages of the disease, the more you hate eating. That is the most torturous time.
Du Yuanzhe felt sad when he saw this, and suddenly felt that a world of two people was also good, and children were not necessary.
Zhao Zhimeng never ate pickled vegetables again, nor did he vomit again.
After the meal, Chen Rongshan reminded Du Yuanwen alone: "A baby needs nutrition the most. Zhimeng will not be able to bear not eating meat all the time. You can take Zhimeng to try other meat dishes. I think you can find something edible."
Du Yuanwen nodded: "I'll remember that."
Du Yuanzhe thought that pregnant women could only not stand the smell of fish, but he didn't expect that Zhao Zhimeng couldn't even stand the smell of meat.
Chen Rongshan reminded Du Yuanwen of some things to note.
"Your wife is in a critical period from now until she gives birth. If you can delegate the company's work to your subordinates, do so. Pay more attention to Zhimeng, not only to take care of her body, but most importantly, to take care of her emotions."
Chen Rongshan said sternly, "I don't care how you usually get along with each other. From now on, you must not fight back when you are hit, and you must not talk back when you are scolded."
Du Yuanwen nodded one by one.
Because Chen Rongshan's mind was on Zhao Zhimeng, Du Yuanzhe had nothing to do at home, so he said to Chen Rongshan: "Mom, I'm leaving first."
Chen Rongshan really didn't keep him, but just warned him: "Zhi Meng is not even three months pregnant yet, don't tell anyone else."
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "I understand."
Flower Lake Apartment
Xia Ning asked, "Why did you come back?"
Du Yuanzhe put down the car keys and said, "My sister-in-law is pregnant. My mother doesn't have time to take care of me now."
Xia Ning suddenly realized: "This is your family's happy event."
Du Yuanzhe stared at her for a while and said, "Qiqi, let's not have children in the future."
Xia Ning looked away from the computer: "Were you scared by your sister-in-law?"
She knew without asking that some of Zhao Zhimeng's pregnancy reactions had scared Du Yuanzhe.
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "My sister-in-law has been pregnant for just over a month, and she can't eat meat anymore. She wants to vomit when she smells meat. How painful it must be, and my mother said it will get worse in the future."
"Don't assume that everyone is as meat-loving as you are."
Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "And you're thinking too far ahead. We've only been dating for one day."
Du Yuanzhe corrected him: "Two days. I'm preparing for a rainy day."
Xia Ningmi said calmly: "I have also thought about not having children. I don't have the confidence to be a good mother. My mother only taught me what is a wrong example."
Du Yuanzhe retorted: "I don't want children just because I don't want you to suffer, but this has nothing to do with whether you are a good mother or not. I am sure that if we have children, you will definitely be a good mother."
Xia Ningmi: "How can you be so sure?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "Because you will remember every word I say, you will care about me, and you will care about the children in the future. For children, the love and care of their parents are the most important. We don't need to be considerate of our children."
At least families like theirs don't need to take care of their children themselves, exhausting themselves to the point of losing sleep, and possibly even exhausting their children due to lack of experience. It's really unnecessary.
For children, the most important thing is companionship!
Xia Ningmi looked back at the computer: "You've led me astray. These are not what we should be considering now."
Du Yuanzhe smiled and talked about other things: "I have agreed with my brother that I will go to Mr. Jiang's birthday banquet with him. My eldest sister-in-law is pregnant and will not go to such a crowded place, so it will be just the two of us."
Xia Ningmi: "I also received an invitation."
Du Yuanzhe suddenly thought of something and asked, "Will the Lu family receive the invitation?"
Lu Xuan had made Jiang Chelin very angry before.
Xia Ningmi affirmed, "Yes. Mr. Jiang will not let the grudges of the younger generation affect the relationship between the two families."
Jingle Bells——
Du Yuanzhe took out his phone and laughed: "Speak of the devil, he will appear."
Du Yuanzhe answered the phone: "You want to talk about Mr. Jiang's birthday banquet?"
Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Yuanzhe, you are amazing. You guessed it before I even said it."
Du Yuanzhe smiled and asked, "Apart from this, is there anything else going on recently?"
"That's true. The birthday banquet is the Jiang family's territory. If we go there, won't we just be at the mercy of Jiang Chelin?"
Du Yuanzhe's face darkened: "You went to attend the birthday banquet, not to fight. There are so many guests at the banquet. Can Jiang Chelin lock you up and beat you up?"
This sounds like a ** fight.
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that he's up to something. How about we not go?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "It's up to you, I will go anyway."
Lu Xuan admired him and said, "You are really brave. Why didn't I realize you were so brave before?"
Du Yuanzhe snorted coldly: "That's because you don't understand me."
Lu Xuan: "Indeed, you didn't play with us much before. But Yuanzhe, do you have any personal grudges with Jiang Chelin? Otherwise, why would you treat him like this?"
Du Yuanzhe nodded and admitted: "It is indeed a personal grudge."
"I knew it. Don't worry, brother, I will definitely stand by your side."
Du Yuanzhe sneered: "Do you have any other choice?"
Lu Xuan chuckled: "It seems not. I decided to accompany you to the birthday banquet. If Jiang Chelin targets you, I will definitely protect you."
"You're kind enough to show some loyalty."
After chatting with Lu Xuan for a while, Du Yuanzhe hung up the phone.
Xia Ning said: "Although Lu Xuan has no ability, he is sincere and has no tricks. He is worth making friends with."
[As expected of President Xia, he is so unique in praising people]
Du Yuanzhe looked at her and smiled: "You are here to help me check the people around me."
"To prevent you from being deceived."
"Do I look stupid?"
Xia Ningmi actually looked at him and came to the conclusion: "Anyway, he's not as smart as me."
There is no way to refute this.
Seeing that she was busy with work while talking, Du Yuanzhe knew she was very busy and said, "I have to get up early to film tomorrow, so I'm going to rest first. You should also go to bed early and don't stay up past midnight."
Xia Ningmi nodded.
Before Du Yuanzhe returned to his room, he poured her a cup of hot water and placed it next to her: "You are not allowed to drink coffee either."
He helped himself to another can of Sprite.
Xia Ningmi never drinks carbonated drinks. There were never any carbonated drinks in Jincheng Jiayuan's refrigerator before. Later, perhaps because she saw Du Yuanzhe often buying carbonated drinks, carbonated drinks began to appear in the refrigerator.
Du Yuanzhe has always known that she is not a cold and indifferent person who doesn't care about anything. She just does more and says less.
......
The next morning, Liu Xu and others came to pick up Du Yuanzhe to go to the set.
Liu Xu said, "There's news from the company that "The Legend of Yunlan" has been sent for review. You should know about this, right?"
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "I heard that."
"Having reached the stage of review means that the release date is not far away. The launch conference is usually held one month before the show is aired. I estimate that it will be around the time your show is finished."
Xiao Pang said: "I hope it will be after the film is finished, so that Brother Zhe can focus on promotion and not have to run around."
Liu Xu said: "We can't always rely on luck. Yuanzhe, talk to Director Zhu today and ask him to schedule as many scenes for you as possible."
Du Yuanzhe said: "Okay."
Zhu Mi may have felt that Du Yuanzhe's previous filming schedule was too intense and was worried about overtiring him, so his role during this period was much lighter.
If Du Yuanzhe took the initiative to ask for an increase in the filming workload, Zhu Mi would most likely not refuse.
This is indeed the case.
Hearing Du Yuanzhe's initiative to request more scenes, Zhu Mi said, "Young people are full of energy after all."
Du Yuanzhe said frankly: "The drama I finished filming before may start promotion anytime next month. I am afraid it will affect the scenes here, so I might as well try my best to finish filming as soon as possible."
Zhu Mi nodded: "I will arrange your next role."
Directors are only annoyed when actors always ask for leave, and generally they won't be unhappy when actors ask for more filming workload. Moreover, Zhu Mi doesn't want Du Yuanzhe to delay filming due to the promotion of his next drama.
Returning to his seat, Du Yuanzhe said, "The director agreed."
Liu Xu said: "That's good, I will always keep an eye on the news of "The Legend of Yun Lan"."
He couldn't just stop working as an agent just because Xia Ningmi was around. He still had to understand what he needed to understand.
When the promotion of "Legend of Yun Lan" begins, there may be another round of public opinion wars, so Liu Xu needs to prepare in advance.
Zhu Mi was very efficient, so Du Yuanzhe asked him to increase the filming workload. That day, the male lead had three more scenes, and the filming lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening.
This continued for the next half month, and there was even one time when I didn't get home until midnight.
Xia Ningmi noticed this and asked him, "Why do you always come home so late recently?"
Du Yuanzhe slumped on the sofa and said, "I was afraid that the promotion of "The Legend of Yunlan" would suddenly start, so I wanted to finish filming this drama as soon as possible. I discussed with Director Zhu to increase the filming workload."
[I am exhausted from working so hard to finish this drama as soon as possible]
Xia Ningmi was silent for a moment, then said, "Have you forgotten that Legend of Yunlan was produced by Qianying Entertainment?"
Du Yuanzhe was puzzled: "I haven't forgotten."
Xia Ningmi: "Before we start promoting "The Legend of Yunlan", we must report the promotion plan to the company."
Du Yuanzhe's expression froze.
Xia Ningmi delivered a fatal blow: "So it is impossible to start promoting this all of a sudden, and I have the power to postpone the promotion of "Legend of Yunlan", and it is even more impossible for it to conflict with your drama."
Du Yuanzhe said angrily: "Brother Liu misunderstood me!"
[What on earth have I been working so hard for in the past half month?]
Xia Ning looked at him calmly: "Who told you not to tell me?"
Du Yuanzhe said helplessly: "You are also very busy these days, okay? I thought there is no need to tell you about this little thing. The main reason is that this is my first time to find a girlfriend who is the president of an entertainment company, and I have no experience."
He had always thought that everything would go smoothly with the CEO's girlfriend's protection, but when the two of them really got together, he forgot that he could ask Xia Ning for help.
He never thought that just one word from Xia Ningmi could save him a lot of trouble.
But he can say that he has a bad memory, but why did Liu Xu also forget this?
Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows after hearing what he said and asked, "How many more times do you plan to go through this?"
Du Yuanzhe shook his head quickly and said firmly: "Just this once!"
The author has something to say:
