Chapter 34 Manta Rose Gu Xianyue, Let's elope tonight
Xia Weiwei invited only very close relatives to the engagement banquet, but she didn't invite Gu Yousheng or Li Xue, and Lu Yanzhou wouldn't allow Lu Qingshi to come.
Bai Ying nodded upon learning of the arrangement and continued to arrange the details of the engagement banquet.
After Lu Yanzhou was born, Bai Ying and Lu Qingshi's marriage came to an end. The two had married in order to have a family heir, but Bai Ying only had one child, Lu Yanzhou, while Lu Qingshi had fifteen.
He grew up under Mr. Lu's tutelage, and his keen sense of numbers and business acumen destined him to take this path.
The Lu Qingshan family went into politics, the Lu Qinghe family went into the military, and Lu Qingshi had a business mind but was always led astray by beautiful women. Fortunately, Lu Yanzhou became successful early and took over Lu Qingshi's position.
The next day, at six o'clock in the morning, Lu Yuanying was about to knock on Xia Weiwei's door when Lu Yanzhou stood at the door.
"I told everyone that dinner time can be postponed, but my wife's sleep time cannot be delayed."
"Didn't you hear me?" Lu Yanzhou asked coldly.
Lu Yuanying's hand, which was knocking on the door, froze in mid-air. Of course she had heard it; Lu Yanzhou had held a family meeting last night and emphasized this matter.
However, after the family meeting, Xia Weiwei told her privately that she must come to wake her at six o'clock and not listen to Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yuanying was still wondering what to do, but she couldn't bear Lu Yanzhou's piercing gaze any longer, so she put her hand down.
"Then I'll wait for my third sister-in-law to wake up naturally, and then I'll bring the makeup artist in."
Lu Yanzhou nodded, and Lu Yuanying retreated to her own room.
Xia Weiwei was afraid that Lu Yuanying would call her and she wouldn't hear it, so she set three alarms.
When she opened her eyes, it was ten o'clock.
10 o'clock!
She even doubted her own eyes and checked her phone three more times; it was indeed ten o'clock.
Ten o'clock is a habit she has recently developed.
She slept more and more soundly and peacefully at her home in the port city.
but!
Today is her engagement party!
What's with sleeping until 10 o'clock?
Xia Weiwei wished she could go back to last night; she could stay awake.
Xia Weiwei hurriedly got up and opened the door. Lu Yuanying and the makeup artist were standing at the door.
"Hey, it really is ten o'clock." Lu Yuanying glanced at the time on her phone, then spoke with admiration for Lu Yanzhou, "Third Brother said you would wake up at ten."
"I..." Xia Weiwei peeked downstairs, and Lu Yuanying said that she was fine.
"The engagement party doesn't start until noon, so we have time to get ready now."
When Xia Weiwei was pushed through the door by Lu Yuanying, she met Lu Yanzhou standing downstairs. To match her dress, Lu Yanzhou wore a white suit with the collar tips pointing upwards like peaks. It was double-breasted, and he smiled gently, like an 18th-century English prince. His peach blossom eyes were filled with her.
He looks so elegant in white.
Xia Weiwei blushed, quickly looked away, and went into the room.
Lu Yuanying found Xia Weiwei's dress, an Eliesaab Spring/Summer Haute Couture gown, which was also the only dress that could cover the entire body.
The dress is predominantly pinkish-purple, adorned with scattered stars, and the moon is hidden at the waist.
Lu Yuanying pouted: "Third sister-in-law, you should at least wear a strapless top and show off your good figure."
Looking at Lu Yuanying's pouty face through the mirror, Xia Weiwei found an outlet for her dissatisfaction.
She went to look at dresses with Lu Yanzhou, and initially she wanted to choose a peach-pink strapless dress.
When she tried it on, she saw a clear look of amazement in Lu Yanzhou's eyes, but Lu Yanzhou took the dress away.
Taking advantage of the shop assistant's absence, she asked Lu Yanzhou why he wouldn't let her wear the first outfit. Lu Yanzhou took her hand and placed it on...
"If you want everyone to see your husband get hard, then wear it."
Xia Weiwei pouted.
"Now you know how good my figure is, right?" Xia Weiwei wasn't bragging; although she often skipped meals, her figure was still incredibly impressive.
According to Liang Yun, she was born to be a star.
"I've always known you have a great figure."
Lu Yanzhou's eyes were calm, as if he wasn't the one reacting.
Xia Weiwei frowned. Lu Yanzhou shouldn't have rolled his eyes and called her delusional.
Xia Weiwei, puzzled, moved closer to Lu Yanzhou, trying to get a clearer look at him.
Lu Yanzhou didn't try to hide it and let her see.
In the end, it was Lu Yanzhou's handsome face that made her blush, and she quickly looked away.
In the end, Lu Yanzhou bought both dresses.
Why buy two items?
"Wear it for me to see after you give birth."
Will they maintain their current relationship after the baby is born?
"Don't even think about it." She maintained her usual style of interacting with Lu Yanzhou and retorted.
Lu Yanzhou just smiled and didn't refute.
Xia Weiwei now recalls Lu Yanzhou's expression; Lu Yanzhou was certain she would wear it for him.
Could Lu Yanzhou possibly know that she likes him?
cannot!
Absolutely not.
They eventually got divorced.
"Third sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Lu Yuanying complained, but she had no other dress to wear right now except for this one.
Xia Weiwei waved to Lu Yuanying, and Lu Yuanying obediently walked over.
Xia Weiwei gestured for her to lean closer to listen, and Lu Yuanying's eyes lit up as she heard something.
Half an hour later, Xia Weiwei finished her makeup and dressing.
Even the makeup artist, Lu Yuanying, was amazed. She was so beautiful!
"Ah Ying?" Xia Weiwei called her, but she didn't respond. Left with no other choice, Xia Weiwei nudged Lu Yuanying's shoulder, and Lu Yuanying finally reacted.
This is definitely a succubus.
"You should tell your third brother that we're back together."
Lu Yuanying nodded slowly, turned around stiffly, walked to the door, and patted her face again.
Third Brother is so lucky!
"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law is all better."
Lu Yanzhou was sitting on the sofa in the center of the first floor. Hearing this, he looked up and said softly, "They've arrived."
The man stood up, casually putting his phone inside his suit and mask; his tall, slender figure was almost awe-inspiring.
Such a man is noble like a god, inspiring awe in others.
The couple only invited close relatives. Xia Weiwei didn't want to be photographed in public, so she decided to hold the ceremony in the back garden of the villa.
Lu Yanzhou went up to the second floor and knocked on the door: "A-Yue, I've arrived."
Two makeup artists each held a handle on the door and, under Lu Yuanying's direction, opened the door.
"three."
"two."
"one."
In an instant, Lu Yanzhou's eyes were only on Xia Weiwei.
Do you know the feeling of hope when you're wandering in the boundless Milky Way and suddenly see a pink planet?
That's how he feels right now.
My heart is so full, yet I'm afraid it's all fake.
Xia Weiwei didn't wear the dress Lu Yanzhou had chosen; it was her engagement party, so of course she wanted to look beautiful.
At this moment, she was wearing the dress that Lu Yanzhou had hidden away.
Pink stars surrounded Xia Weiwei, and every move she made was filled with the glittering brilliance and ethereal beauty of a fairy.
After his impressions were refreshed, Lu Yanzhou frowned.
Why are you wearing this?
He took a deep look at the girl's bare shoulders.
Xia Weiwei turned her face to the side, her chin slightly raised.
“I’ve already put them on, so you can’t make me change them.”
Try to cheat on him.
Lu Yanzhou smiled helplessly, his smile carrying an undeniable air of doting affection.
"Princess, please accept the flowers."
Lu Yanzhou twirled his left hand twice around his chest, bowed in a standard gentleman's bow, and simultaneously handed over the manta flask in his right hand.
Xia Weiwei accepted the bouquet of eleven manta roses, extended her right hand, and Lu Yanzhou gently grasped her hand. He then turned her hand down, stepped forward, and stood beside her. Xia Weiwei then wrapped her arm around Lu Yanzhou's arm.
"Ah Yue, our engagement party is about to begin."
Everyone present today signed a confidentiality agreement, including members of the Lu family; no one will dare to leak a single word.
On the lawn, Xia Weiwei and Lu Yanzhou stood facing each other.
"Today, October 28th, is an auspicious day that I and A-Yue have calculated based on our birth dates. On this day, I, Lu Yanzhou, would like to ask Miss Gu Xianyue whether she is willing to marry me."
"I will respect you, love you, and protect you for the rest of my life."
Prince Charming knelt on one knee and took out a wedding ring.
Xia Weiwei hadn't expected this process. She looked at the pale purple diamond ring in the red velvet box, feeling slightly surprised.
Wasn't this the gift he gave her on the day they got their marriage certificate?
Is that a wedding ring?!
Xia Weiwei belatedly realized the weight of the ring.
Looking into Lu Yanzhou's affectionate eyes, she knew it was all just a smokescreen to deceive the Lu family, but she couldn't help falling for him.
"I do."
Lu Yanzhou took out the ring and slowly slipped it onto the girl's ring finger.
From the moment she received the ring until now, she has finally put it on.
The angel necklace around Xia Weiwei's neck felt hot, burning her heart.
As the ceremony concluded, cannons roared in the sky, and colorful fireworks rained down from the heavens. Where the two stood, a shower of manta rose petals fell.
Everything was pleasing to the eye and made people feel content.
Xia Weiwei and Lu Yanzhou toasted the Lu family hand in hand, and the scene of their wedding and Lu Yanzhou toasting her appeared in her mind.
If they had a wedding, it would probably be similar to what it is now.
Unfortunately, they didn't have a wedding.
Xia Weiwei snapped out of her reverie in a second.
After the toasts, Xia Weiwei returned to the main table. Her eyes met Bai Ying's. Afraid that Bai Ying would say she hadn't gotten up early, she guiltily looked away when Bai Ying slipped a bank card into her hand.
Xia Weiwei: "?"
"The cash portion of the betrothal gifts that we agreed on has all been deposited into this card. The contracts for those shops have been signed one after another these days, and they are all yours. In the future, if A-Zhou ever makes you unhappy in the slightest, just come and tell Mom."
"Mom, I'll only help you."
The more Bai Ying smiled, the more she wanted to cry.
Her nose stung, but her long eyelashes fluttered rapidly, trying to suppress the stinging sensation.
"Thank you, Mom."
"From now on, we're family. Don't say thank you."
"Yes, now Grandpa has another granddaughter."
Grandpa Lu gifted an additional twenty shops.
Even if Xia Weiwei didn't become a celebrity, the revenue from her shops alone would be enough to ensure she would never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of her life.
The engagement banquet concluded successfully, and the two saw off their relatives together. Although Xia Weiwei had just woken up, she was still very sleepy.
Chen He said this is a normal phenomenon for pregnant women who feel sleepy during the second trimester.
Xia Weiwei ate her fill, basked in the sun, took off her dress, and went to bed.
In her drowsy state, she vaguely felt herself moving.
You must be dreaming.
How could it be moving? There was no earthquake.
If an earthquake really happens, Lu Yanzhou will definitely come to call her.
Xia Weiwei fell into a deep sleep again. When she woke up, she heard the sound of the waves crashing against the shore.
What's going on?
She glanced down and saw the same blanket from home, and she was still wearing the same pink slip dress she wore at home.
How did she end up here?!
"Lu Yanzhou?"
She immediately jumped out of bed and was about to open the door when it was opened from the outside.
"You're awake." Lu Yanzhou said with a smile in his eyes.
Seeing Lu Yanzhou calmed her down.
Where is this?
"On my cruise ship."
Xia Weiwei looked out the window and recognized it as Victoria Harbour.
How did she get here?!
"I carried you here," the man said proudly, as if he had just developed an atomic bomb.
"How...did...you...hug...me?" Xia Weiwei uttered each word carefully, even though she already knew the answer in her heart.
"Carry the person out, blanket and all."
So, that wasn't a dream!
It's true!
"You carried me out without anyone seeing, right?" Xia Weiwei asked, clinging to the last shred of hope.
"The housekeeper, gardener, driver, and bodyguard are all here."
Xia Weiwei felt utterly hopeless.
Lu Yanzhou's smile remained unchanged, and he even moved closer to her.
"Gu Xianyue, do you want to elope with me?"
Elopement sounds like a heinous act.
Looking into Lu Yanzhou's sincere eyes, she stepped forward and kissed his lips.
Liking someone can manifest as timidity in a man, but boldness in a girl.
That was her answer.
Lu Yanzhou opened his lips, his tongue darted out, then he withdrew it.
Xia Weiwei sensed a series of changes and looked at him in confusion.
"It's not the right time yet, bb."
She saw Lu Yanzhou glance out the window. Did he now distinguish between day and night when he kissed?
They've met up during the day before.
He's also very fierce during the day.
Xia Weiwei was unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to make a move, but she felt that it would be too easy for Lu Yanzhou.
No one else would let her kiss him, so why was she so eager to kiss Lu Yanzhou?
Xia Weiwei took two steps back, creating distance between herself and Lu Yanzhou.
"arrive."
Where are we?
Xia Weiwei looked around, but couldn't recognize anyone.
Of course she wouldn't recognize her; she's not familiar with Hong Kong.
Lu Yanzhou first asked her if she was hungry or thirsty, but Xia Weiwei shook her head. Lu Yanzhou still fed her half a cup of water, then took a thermos, stuffed a few small breads into his bag, put a mask and hat on her, put on a baseball cap himself, and pulled her ashore.
It was 5 p.m.
The sky over the port city was still bright.
At 5:30, she followed Lu Yanzhou forward and saw a black circular building. A question flashed through her mind, but in the blink of an eye, she had her ticket checked and boarded the cable car.
They were very lucky; they were in the first row of the cable car.
But as the people behind her kept pushing forward, she unconsciously frowned. Suddenly, the feeling of being squeezed behind her disappeared; it was Lu Yanzhou who blocked the resistance from behind.
Xia Weiwei turned around, and Lu Yanzhou's steady and powerful figure came into view.
"Young man, you're quite protective of your girlfriend."
Xia Weiwei recognized the accent as being from Beijing and quickly lowered her head, pulling her hat down low.
Lu Yanzhou responded lazily.
"There's nothing I can do; my girlfriend is a bit spoiled."
"However, girls should be a little more delicate."
"Besides, I spoiled them, so naturally I should indulge them."
Xia Weiwei poked Lu Yanzhou's chest with her elbow shyly. Did he ask you anything? And that's all you said. Besides, how is she being delicate?
Xia Weiwei glared at Lu Yanzhou defiantly, but her eyes met his captivating gaze.
There was a deeper meaning in Peach Blossom's eyes that she couldn't understand, but it was very alluring to her.
Xia Weiwei dared not look any longer and turned her head to look at the scene outside the cable car.
When they got off the bus, Lu Yanzhou used one hand to protect her and the other hand to push through the crowd and clear a path.
They weaved through the crowded streets, their hands clasped tightly together.
The two reached the top of the mountain, and as darkness fell, Xia Weiwei was awestruck by the panoramic view of the port city.
The port city at night has both the mystery of a magical metropolis and the prosperity of the 21st century.
The mountain wind whistled past, and she looked rather thin in her vest dress. Lu Yanzhou's broad body embraced her, and his chin rested on her forehead.
Anyone who saw them would say they were a couple deeply in love.
Let her be greedy just this once and treat Lu Yanzhou as her boyfriend.
Xia Weiwei leaned back against Lu Yanzhou's chest, letting him introduce her to him.
One night, the two of them, like any ordinary couple, strolled around Pingdingshan.
There were no lights, no paparazzi.
At 9:30, Lu Yanzhou pulled her away. During the walk, a photographer stopped them and asked if they wanted to take a picture.
Xia Weiwei wanted to take the picture, but she knew Lu Yanzhou wouldn't.
How could a pampered young master possibly be interested in street photography?
She pulled Lu Yanzhou along, feigning disgust as she said goodbye.
Lu Yanzhou put his arm around her waist.
"Take a picture, my girlfriend?" The man's hot breath brushed against her ear, and she nodded as if bewitched.
As she answered, a sense of unease crept into her heart. Would they have to take off their masks and hats to take pictures?
"Let's shoot like this." Lu Yanzhou's hand moved to her hat instead.
Although the photographer didn't understand, he still took a picture of the two of them.
"You should show yourselves in the photos; you two are definitely the handsome man and beautiful woman," the photographer praised.
Lu Yanzhou scanned the QR code to receive the payment and then laughed, saying, "No need, my girlfriend is shy."
Xia Weiwei avoided looking at Lu Yanzhou, which amused the photographer. He said, "Why are you so shy when you're in love? Lu Yanzhou, please try harder!"
"We're already working on it."
Why does he talk to the photographer about everything, and why does he talk about all sorts of random things?
The two did not descend the mountain. Lu Yanzhou led her around and around until they finally came to an intersection where a Bentley was parked.
"President Lu."
Xia Weiwei understood; these were the people who had come to pick them up.
The Lu family has an old house in Pingdingshan. Although no one lives there now, it is cleaned regularly and can be moved in at any time.
After Xia Weiwei finished showering, she took advantage of Lu Yanzhou's shower to open Lu Yanzhou's phone, found the photo the photographer had sent, forwarded it to herself, and then quickly deleted the chat history between Lu Yanzhou and her.
It was her first time doing it, and she was nervous; her hands trembled.
“Ah Yue…”
When Lu Yanzhou called her, she panicked even more. As soon as Lu Yanzhou came out, she threw his phone onto the bed.
Lu Yanzhou looked at his phone on the bed and asked, puzzled, "Hmm?"
Xia Weiwei laughed awkwardly: "I can't find my phone, I want to use your phone to send me a message."
"Isn't your phone in your hand?"
Xia Weiwei chuckled awkwardly twice: "Because of your phone, I found my phone. Thank you for your phone."
Fearing that Lu Yanzhou would continue to question her, she went to the French windows.
"My phone says no."
The warm scent of sunlight after Lu Yanzhou's shower filled her world, and the man held her waist tightly.
Xia Weiwei's heart skipped a beat, and a familiar heat surged through her.
She was completely powerless against him, especially since he was shirtless.
Xia Weiwei steeled her heart, turned her head, and kissed Lu Yanzhou.
In that instant, the man pinned her against the French windows.
The kiss was like a bamboo shoot breaking through the soil, swift and powerful. Xia Weiwei couldn't swallow; when the man's tongue came out of her mouth, it was still mixed with the essence of their lovemaking.
Xia Weiwei hadn't caught her breath yet when she saw the man's dark eyes, and her breathing became even more disordered.
The air was tense; it was just a hair's breadth away from ignition.
"husband."
Finally, it was lit.
Without hesitation, Lu Yanzhou picked her up and placed her on the bed. The curtains of the French windows slowly closed.
It has reached its peak.
All the pent-up anger I've been holding in lately is bound to be released tonight.
Lu Yanzhou stared at her silently for two or three seconds, then suddenly laughed.
Xia Weiwei's heart trembled at Lu Yanzhou's smile.
Lu Yanzhou was finally about to make his move when his phone rang.
"You brat, where did you take A-Yue?"
It was Bai Ying's voice.
Bai Ying will continue to monitor them tonight.
Xia Weiwei curled her toes, wishing she could find a place to hide.
"He eloped with A-Yue."
"Mom, I know what I'm doing, don't worry."
Lu Yanzhou hung up the phone before Bai Ying could speak.
As darkness fell, she stared languidly at the ceiling, enjoying the man's top-notch service, until finally, unable to hold back any longer, she ejaculated and closed her eyes.
...
The first time was an exception, but what was the reason for the second time when both parties were so clear about the situation?
Unlike the first time, Xia Weiwei did not avoid Lu Yanzhou. She continued to interact with him as usual, and even after returning to the capital, she still couldn't figure it out.
Moreover, this time Lu Yanzhou not only helped her, but also asked her to help him.
The man was deeply moved and restrained, beads of sweat rolling down his face.
"Bob, that's not how it is."
"Apply force slowly with your hands."
He patiently nurtured her like a gardener, watering her like a manta flower.
Xia Weiwei blushed every time she recalled the memory.
He probably doesn't want to shortchange himself, after all, he still has to endure seven more months.
After finishing her prenatal checkup that day, on the way home, Xia Weiwei said, "I'm not going to the company with you today. I'm going home to discuss joining the production team with Sister Yun."
Lu Yanzhou drove her back to the large apartment she had bought.
After returning to Beijing, the two stayed here. Lu Yanzhou vaguely mentioned that he wanted to go to his villa, but Xia Weiwei shook her head.
"I feel a strong sense of belonging here."
Xia Weiwei would also read the scripts sent by Liang Yun in Hong Kong. Liang Yun sent her no less than ten. She looked at them one by one and finally chose one set in a matriarchal society where the female protagonist abandons her father and keeps her son.
The role she chose wasn't the female lead, but rather the fourth female lead, and the filming period was one and a half months.
Now her belly is already showing a slight curve. If she gets to five or six months pregnant, it will be easy for people to notice when she's filming, and there's a risk of accidents.
Liang Yun had been working on this role for a long time.
"You mean the production team found someone more suitable?" She was lying on the sofa at home when she received this call from Liang Yun.
"Yes."
Are there any other roles?
"I'm looking for."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Weiwei was sullen and unhappy.
Why would anyone else choose her when her salary isn't expensive?
She thought about it for half an hour but still couldn't figure it out when the doorbell rang.
"They're here."
"Hello, this is the cake you ordered."
Xia Weiwei immediately spotted the "M" logo; it was Uncle Shan Ke's cake.
She craved this one night in Hong Kong and couldn't sleep because of it. Lu Yanzhou had no choice but to fly to Beijing the next day to buy it for her.
Xia Weiwei took the cake, took a picture, and sent it to Lu Yanzhou.
[Manta Rose: Did you buy this?]
[L: Do you want to eat?]
Xia Weiwei smiled for the first time since returning home.
[Manta Rose: My husband is so good!]
L: Then why don't you come to the company to be with me?
Xia Weiwei's smile deepened as she read the message. Yesterday, she was at home when Lu Yanzhou, having asked Liang Yun beforehand and knowing she was alright, coaxed and tricked her into going to the company.
The capital city was still her main territory. As soon as she entered the company, the probing gazes of everyone made her feel uneasy.
I always feel like I'm going to be recognized.
Xia Weiwei didn't reply to the message. She took a bite of cake, and her mood improved.
But I can't help but wonder what will happen if I can't get any acting roles during my pregnancy.
No, I'll definitely receive it.
"Finally, she smiled." Lu Yanzhou looked at the pregnant woman on the monitor and called Liang Yun to ask what had happened.
During Xia Weiwei's month-long break, some media outlets photographed her with Lu Yanzhou, but before the photos could be published, Lu Yanzhou unilaterally suppressed them.
“Weiwei is backed by Shangxing Entertainment. Although President Lu secured a contract for Weiwei last time that granted her the right to choose roles and work freely, the contract rights were not changed in the end. In other words, Weiwei still has to work hard for Shangxing Entertainment.”
From the day she held her engagement banquet, Gu Yousheng distributed Xia Weiwei's resources, claiming it was to allow Xia Weiwei to rest properly, since she was pregnant and her health was the most important thing.
Liang Yun felt disgusted, but she was afraid to tell Xia Weiwei, lest it upset her and cause her to miscarry.
This loss of the role was also orchestrated by Gu Yousheng.
Lu Yanzhou was such a smart man; he understood immediately.
After hanging up with Liang Yun, he called Gu Yousheng instead.
Half an hour later, Xia Weiwei received the role she had originally wanted.
"Why did you make me act again?"
"The director said that the actress who auditioned wasn't as good as you."
When Lu Yanzhou got home from get off work, he saw the pregnant woman lying in a rocking chair, intently annotating the script.
"Honey, you're back." The voice was clear and crisp, filling one's heart with joy.
Lu Yanzhou took off his coat, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then came back.
"What happened? Why are you so happy?"
"I've received the role I want, and I'll be joining the crew the day after tomorrow."
"This role doesn't have many scenes, and I'll only be filming for twenty days. After that, I'll focus on my pregnancy."
Xia Weiwei added the second half of the sentence to appease Lu Yanzhou, fearing he might refuse.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself during this time."
How could Lu Yanzhou be so understanding!
Xia Weiwei leaned close to Lu Yanzhou, about to kiss him, but then stopped.
"Why aren't you kissing me anymore?"
look!
He knew she would kiss him; he was waiting.
Xia Weiwei leaned back, creating distance between them.
Lu Yanzhou cupped the back of her head with one hand and kissed her.
Compared to a French kiss, this one was noticeably shallower.
"I'll go cook."
...
In December, Xia Weiwei joined a film crew, and Lu Yanzhou was extremely busy with work. Even so, Lu Yanzhou still took on the tasks of picking her up and dropping her off and cooking for her.
Filming was nearing its end when, on December 20th, Lu Yanzhou made a last-minute trip to Edinburgh.
No sooner had Lu Yanzhou left than she received an endorsement deal. The company had recently opened a branch in Hokkaido, Japan, and they wanted her to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
That place is where hope lies; it's where she must go.
It's strange, she was incredibly bored when Lu Yanzhou was around, but as soon as he left, she became very busy.
Xia Weiwei quickly finished filming the last two scenes for the crew and then flew to Hokkaido with Xiaoya without stopping.
On December 22nd, Xiaoya shivered as soon as she entered the hotel room, startled by its coldness.
This is going to freeze someone to death!
The hotel was booked by Shangxing Entertainment, and Xiaoya gave feedback to Shangxing Entertainment.
"No way, this hotel is the best hotel near the event. Are you asking for too much?" The person opposite laughed, and Xiaoya rolled her eyes to the sky.
"Why don't you come and try it yourself?"
"I'm not in Hokkaido right now either. Teacher Xia, would you like to hold off for one night?"
If Weiwei endures it for just one night, something bad will happen to the baby in her belly.
Xiaoya was so angry her teeth were chattering. She insisted on changing hotels because the other party was irresponsible. Xia Weiwei patted Xiaoya's arm, and Xiaoya saw that Xia Weiwei had booked a new hotel.
The two were unfamiliar with the area, and their translator even caused problems.
Xiaoya checked into the new hotel and couldn't process what she was doing; something was wrong.
"Weiwei, someone's targeting us!"
Xia Weiwei looked at her stomach first, and she could feel it too.
"Has the outfit for tomorrow's event arrived?"
Xiaoya immediately jumped up and went to communicate with the brand.
Ten minutes later, Xiaoya muttered a curse.
"We wanted a loose skirt from the waist down, but they gave us a tight one instead, so you can't wear cotton pants underneath."
Xia Weiwei had a headache, so she bought a lot of hand warmers that night.
After video chatting with Lu Yanzhou that evening, Xia Weiwei didn't want him to be distracted by her while he was abroad. Besides, there was only a ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow, and he would only be standing outside for a short while.
Xia Weiwei thought she had gotten away with it, but little did she know that Lu Yanzhou hung up the phone and asked Xiaoya, who angrily blurted out everything.
"Mr. Lu, they're bullying Weiwei!"
[President Lu: Understood]
The next day, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was moved indoors instead of outdoors. Xia Weiwei was overjoyed, but after it ended, a group of enthusiastic fans suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The bodyguards couldn't stop them, and Xia Weiwei and Xiaoya were separated.
Xia Weiwei was forced to run, and in her panic, she did not realize that those people were deliberately driving her in one direction.
Xia Weiwei panicked and ran blindly. Suddenly, she saw a container in front of her and thought she should go inside and hide.
She had just crawled inside when, with a snap, the container was locked shut.
Oh no, we've been tricked!
That is their true purpose.
A chill swept in from all directions. Xia Weiwei tried her best to knock on the door, but it didn't respond at all.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but as her body heat continued to dissipate, she had no choice but to curl up and save all her heat for the baby in her belly.
Her eyelashes were covered in icy mist, her consciousness was fading, and in her hazy state, she felt the same warmth as she had felt on a night in Pingdingshan.
"I'm late."
She looked up and saw Lu Yanzhou's worried face.
