Chapter 2 Manta Rose Vivi, you might be pregnant [Deathly...]
Xia Weiwei's award trended on social media for a week, and Sali's Spring/Summer Haute Couture collection was snapped up by socialites. Sali has already achieved its annual sales target.
Xia Weiwei was busy attending brand events this week, and by the time she had rested and returned to Beijing, it had been more than ten days.
That evening, after finishing her work, Xia Weiwei followed her staff back to the hotel when she suddenly felt a stomachache.
When her assistant, Xiaoya, saw her rubbing her stomach, she got a cup of warm water from the car's water dispenser and handed it to Xia Weiwei.
"Weiwei, you didn't eat properly again today. If Sister Yun finds out, I'll get scolded."
"I'm busy today, but I'll eat properly tomorrow."
It's tomorrow again.
I always use this same sentence to brush her off.
However, alas, after the awards ceremony, Weiwei had a schedule every day. One second she was in Beijing, and the next she could be flying to Huzhou. Her record was flying to five cities in one day. She didn't have time to eat.
If she hadn't fainted at the event and gone for a medical check-up, no one would have known that she had anorexia.
The girl spoke softly, her eyes glistening with moisture.
Xiaoya's anger instantly turned into steam; with Weiwei's face, who could resist her charm if she were to act cute?
Xiaoya took the water glass. Xia Weiwei knew that Xiaoya wasn't angry, so she smiled. Thinking that her period hadn't come yet, she was about to think about it further when her phone vibrated in her palm.
[Mom: I'm going back to Beijing today. Come visit me tomorrow, and I'll cook your favorite dishes.]
Xia Weiwei's gentle face took on a hint of indifference.
Xiaoya glanced at her phone and immediately understood what had happened.
"Weiwei, I'm sorry."
Xia Weiwei turned her head, looked at the dejected Xiaoya, and smiled.
"What do you have to apologize for? My mom asked you about my schedule, could you just refuse to give it to her?"
However, Weiwei didn't want to go back to her mother's house for dinner, and Xiaoya felt guilty, but didn't know what she could do.
"By the way, Sister Yun said you can ask for a reward if you win an award. What kind of reward do you want from the company?"
Xia Weiwei's usually indifferent eyes lit up with interest: "Could you take a day off?"
Xiaoya looked dejected; she really had a sharp tongue.
Xia Weiwei smiled; she knew it wouldn't work.
Xiaoya felt indignant for Xia Weiwei, who had never taken a vacation since her debut. Fortunately, Weiwei found a way to vent her frustrations: she had a sex partner, and the two of them had sex at least once a week.
Xia Weiwei has a regular sex partner. Her agent Liang Yun, her closest assistant Xiao Ya, and her friend Jiang Linlang know about it, but these three people only know that there is such a person. They don't know who he is.
As the car drove past a large shopping mall, Xia Weiwei glanced outside and saw Lu Yanzhou's image flash across the screen.
Was he out of his mind last time, saying something like that?
Xia Weiwei found the WeChat account with the nickname "L" in her phone again. Their chat history was still the last message she had sent.
Terrifying, she paused for a moment, then added him to her blacklist.
The next day, Xia Weiwei attended an event in the morning and participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the afternoon. After the ribbon-cutting, she had to rush to the next event without stopping. In the middle of the process, she was caught by her best friend Jiang Linlang.
Xiaoya tried to stop her, but Jiang Linlang was aggressive.
"What's wrong with me saying a few words to Weiwei? I'm the client."
The ribbon-cutting ceremony just now was for Jiang Linlang's newly opened beauty store. Xiaoya was overjoyed when she saw the private dishes that Jiang Linlang mentioned.
"No, no, you can have as much time as you want with Weiwei."
Xiaoya left the lounge, and Jiang Linlang withdrew her gaze with satisfaction. Turning her head, she saw Xia Weiwei drowsy.
"You're not pregnant, are you?"
Excessive sleepiness during pregnancy.
Xia Weiwei thought of her missed period and her eyes instantly focused on her.
Jiang Linlang shifted her shoulders awkwardly under her gaze and said, "I was just kidding. You'll definitely take precautions."
Xia Weiwei continued to look at her like that, and Jiang Linlang exclaimed in surprise.
"You didn't take any precautions, did you?"
"Of course I did!"
The last time, which was the last time, although it was pitch black inside, she could feel the presence of the barrier.
It's smoother than foreplay.
"Then why are you so nervous?" Jiang Linlang finished setting out the dishes and called her to come and eat.
"I heard from Xiaoya that you're going to your mom's tonight, and I'm worried you won't eat well."
Corn and pork rib soup, crab stew, and lobster stewed in butter.
She ate a variety of seafood, except for fish.
She feels nauseous after eating any kind of fish.
Xia Weiwei glanced at her, and even though she had no appetite, it was still aroused. She hugged Jiang Linlang tightly and took a couple of breaths of her fragrance.
I really want to marry you.
"Then you have to ask my twin sons if they agree."
Xia Weiwei scoffed, pulled out a chair, sat down, ate a couple of bites, and then put down her chopsticks.
"Langlang, what did it feel like when you were pregnant?"
Jiang Linlang stopped moving and stared at her intently.
"Is she really pregnant?"
"How could that be? I'm just curious."
Jiang Linlang laughed: "Don't be curious, or you might actually attract the baby."
Are you trying to scare her to death?!
Popular female celebrities getting pregnant out of wedlock – these headlines are often sensational, and besides…
Xia Weiwei thought of her mother; she didn't want to get pregnant.
Jiang Linlang watched her finish her meal and knew that she was busy, so she didn't make things difficult for Xiaoya and let Xiaoya take her away.
At 7 p.m., Xia Weiwei finished her day's activities, carrying the latest Bulgari emerald necklace, changed her clothes, and headed to her mother's detached villa.
Li Xue smiled broadly and urged her to hurry up and sit down to eat.
"Aci, you've lost weight again." Li Xue's loving gaze fell on her.
Xia Weiwei smiled, her gaze immediately falling on the grass carp placed right in the center.
"Try it and see if there's anything you don't like."
There was only this one seafood dish on the table; the rest were braised pork, chicken, and duck.
Xia Weiwei shook her head and picked up a chicken wing.
The air fell silent, and Li Xue pulled up a chair to sit closer to her.
After winning the award, did you visit your father?
Xia Weiwei shook her head.
Li Xue's eyes lit up, and she took out her phone to contact her dad: "I'll call your dad and have him come over to see you."
"No, Dad must be busy at this time." Xia Weiwei pressed Li Xue's hand.
Li Xue looked displeased, rolled her eyes, and then smiled again.
"Yes, it's already 7 pm. Since you came along, your dad's company has grown bigger and bigger, and he's recruited a new batch of artists. He's very busy. Have you heard that your dad is going to set Yue up on a blind date?"
Xia Weiwei shook her head again, listening to Li Xue's purposeful preamble.
"You know that A-Yue likes that Lu Yanzhou. I heard that you and Lu Yanzhou were trending on social media when you won the award last time. Do you know Lu Yanzhou?"
Xia Weiwei didn't respond, but Li Xue continued on her own.
"Since you know Lu Yanzhou, why don't you introduce him to Ayue? Maybe the two of them will hit it off."
“A year ago, A-Yue became obsessed with Lu Yanzhou and caused a lot of trouble, which worried your father a lot.”
"You're so worried about her, I almost thought you were her biological mother." Xia Weiwei said indifferently, still struggling with the chicken wing.
Li Xue clicked her tongue, her eyes flashing fiercely for a couple of seconds before softening back down.
“A-Yue is still your half-sister. Treat A-Yue well so that your father can come to see us.”
In order to get her father to come over, she didn't hesitate to fawn over the child of the woman who stole her man.
"Go and beg Lu Yanzhou to let him meet with A-Yue," Li Xue instructed.
Xia Weiwei finally couldn't keep up the act anymore.
"You know that Lu Yanzhou and I are trending on social media, but you don't know that Lu Yanzhou is a hater of mine?"
"So what?" Li Xue said dismissively. "It's just a matter of saying a few words."
When Xia Weiwei left Li Xue's villa, she hadn't finished the chicken wing.
She had originally intended to buy wine, but when she looked up, her eyes met Lu Yanzhou's.
Lu Yanzhou?
Why did Lu Yanzhou come to the capital?
Xia Weiwei then thought of the matter of status that Lu Yanzhou had mentioned. Could it be that he would chase her all the way to the capital to ask her to give him a status?
Xia Weiwei rubbed her eyes and looked again; there was a girl in Lu Yanzhou's arms.
Oh, and there's more than one.
The man, with one woman on each side, led a group of people past her.
Xia Weiwei was certain that Lu Yanzhou hadn't even glanced at her.
She looked down at her outfit. It was a late June night in Beijing. She was wearing a fisherman's hat, a white face mask, and a white dress that went past her knees.
She was wrapped up so tightly that no one could recognize her as the big star Xia Weiwei.
Therefore, it's normal that Lu Yanzhou couldn't see through her.
Xia Weiwei turned around, and the man's dashing back came into view. She wondered what they were talking about, but the man's hearty laughter echoed in the sky.
Lu Shao of Hong Kong City is known for his womanizing ways, and it's no wonder that Gu Qianyue is so infatuated with him.
However, if Gu Qianyue hadn't been infatuated with him, she wouldn't have reached out her finger to him that night.
If Gu Qianyue knew that the man she couldn't have had been her casual sex partner for a year, Xia Weiwei would feel great just thinking about Gu Qianyue's twisted expression.
In the private room of the club, the two girls who had been embraced by Lu Yanzhou sat on his left and right, their cheeks flushed.
"Mr. Lu, don't be silent, have some grapes." The girl sitting next to him picked a grape and fed it to his mouth; the girl sitting to his right was not to be outdone, shaking his right arm and asking him what song he wanted to hear.
Lu Yanzhou, his peach blossom eyes filled with a decadent smile, watched them vie for his favor without uttering a word.
When the girl holding the grapes saw that he wasn't eating them, she asked him what he wanted to eat. She listed all the fruits on the table, and the girl recommending a song immediately offered to sing one.
"If I asked you to be my girlfriend, would you?" Lu Yanzhou asked the girl recommending the fruit. The girl's eyes lit up, and she lowered her head shyly, nodding bashfully.
Lu Yanzhou then asked another girl, who excitedly grabbed his arm.
They were overjoyed when they heard they could be his girlfriends.
Why was it her? She ran away with a look of terror in her eyes.
"Young Master Lu, are you telling the truth?" a girl asked anxiously again.
Peach blossom eyes are usually full of affection, but now they are flashing with a cold light.
"Dream on."
The two girls shivered together.
Lu Yanzhou waved his hand, and someone who knew what was going on immediately took the two girls away.
In the bustling private room, he occupied a sofa all to himself, and no one dared to disturb him.
He opened his phone and unconsciously clicked on the chat box with the contact named Manta.
The message stopped on June 10th.
[L: How about we meet once?]
He typed those three words and then deleted them.
He's being a jerk; they've already ended their casual sex relationship.
Suddenly, someone approached.
"Second brother, how did your confession go?" The one who asked the question was Lu Qibai, the son of his second uncle, who had helped him decorate the room last time.
Lu Yanzhou glared at him, but Lu Qi, who had drunk too much, didn't notice and even shoved Lu Yanzhou.
With that push, Lu Yanzhou pressed his phone and sent the message.
Lu Yanzhou realized what had happened and was about to add that his friend had pushed him and that he had sent the message unintentionally when he saw the message: "[Message sent, but rejected by the recipient]".
Lu Yanzhou: "..."
Snap—
The man threw the phone onto the coffee table, sending chills down everyone's spines.
...
Xia Weiwei suffered from insomnia again and was woken up by Xiaoya the next day.
This morning, Liang Yun arranged a medical check-up for her. After she fainted during filming last time, Liang Yun has been paying extra attention to her health.
The medical examination results came out on the third day, which was also the day she met with the director.
After finishing filming a modern romance drama in the first half of the year, she wants to take on a period drama in the second half of this year. Last year, she lost two good scripts, and this time, Liang Yun instructed her to make sure she could get the script.
"Xiao Rongyu?" Xia Weiwei entered the dressing room and didn't see the director, but she did see the male lead who had worked with her three times.
The man smiled calmly, but surprise flickered in his eyes.
"Don't tell me we're going to be acting together again?"
Xia Weiwei sat on the single sofa next to Xiao Rongyu.
The two have already worked together on three films; this would be their fourth.
Xiao Rongyu smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it's possible."
"What, you don't want to partner with me?"
“It’s happened so many times already, try someone else to bring something new.” Xia Weiwei’s voice was hoarse as she spoke, and Xiao Rongyu got up to pour her a glass of warm water.
"I'm still really looking forward to working with you."
The man entered the industry three years earlier than her and rose to fame when he partnered with her. At that time, Xia Weiwei was criticized by the entire internet for being a clingy woman because of her inferior status. Xiao Rongyu came forward to defend her, saying that he had a pleasant working relationship with Teacher Xia.
Fans of the two have embarked on a life-or-death journey of shipping them.
Xia Weiwei looked slightly surprised. The man smiled warmly, and the atmosphere blended in a strange way. A cold and sharp voice came from the doorway.
"Have you seen enough? You can't even hold a glass of water properly. Teacher Xia, you're not feeling well, so please get some rest."
Lu Yanzhou's voice?
Xia Weiwei took the water glass from Xiao Rongyu and looked towards the door.
The man's long legs were encased in black trousers, and his light pink shirt, accentuated by his captivating eyes, exuded a decadent charm. His short, jet-black hair was both refined and sharp, and his raised eyebrows easily stirred up the deepest lust in people's hearts.
"Bad luck in love," Xia Weiwei muttered to herself.
The man strode over to the two men and sat down forcefully.
"Rong Yu, Weiwei, this is President Lu Yanzhou, the investor of our new drama." Knowing that Lu Yanzhou and Xia Weiwei had a falling out, the director kept the introductions as simple as possible to avoid an awkward situation.
Why is Lu Yanzhou investing in the entertainment industry?
The Lu family in Hong Kong originally worked in real estate, but as they developed, they shifted to the high-tech industry, investing in fields such as artificial intelligence and AI.
"Mr. Lu, these are the male and female leads I've chosen. They've worked together three times, and everyone online is praising them as a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Everyone is hoping they'll get together soon." The director also had high hopes for the two of them and was waiting for the man's approval.
"A good match?" The man crossed his legs and said arrogantly, "Is there no one else in the entertainment industry? You think you can fool me with some ugly duckling?"
Xia Weiwei: "..."
"Mr. Lu, if you're not satisfied, just say so. There's no need to involve others. Mr. Xiao's handsomeness is acknowledged by his 50 million Weibo followers."
The man's aura grew colder, and sparks flew in Xia Weiwei's eyes. If she added a little more fuel to the fire, the two could start fighting in the next second. The atmosphere was tense and ready to clash.
Suddenly, Xia Weiwei felt nauseous.
"You..." Lu Yanzhou had barely uttered a word when Xia Weiwei ran out without paying him any attention.
Does she feel like throwing up just hearing him speak now?
On the bed, her arms were wrapped around his waist, her whole body coiled around his like a water snake.
Xia Weiwei ran to the bathroom, and the nausea she felt subsided, so she no longer wanted to vomit.
What's wrong with her?
Xia Weiwei washed her hands at the sink and received a medical examination report from Liang Yun.
[Liang Yun: Weiwei, you might be pregnant [deathly smile]]
Liang Yun specifically circled the HCG value of 10mlUml.
Normally, as long as the HCG level is greater than 5 ml/ml, the chance of pregnancy is as high as 90%.
Moreover, her period, which was due, didn't come.
