Chapter 558 Extra Six Wishes for a Bright Future
With the help of Meng Baichao's ability, Li Qin's pregnancy and postpartum recovery needs in the next year can be said to be foolproof. The only difficult thing to deal with is her acting career.
Although Meng Bai did not want to stop everything directly like both parents, he would definitely not allow her to take on new dramas at this time.
However, as a popular first-line actress, disappearing for a year without any reason will definitely trigger countless speculations. Fortunately, Li Qin is not the first star to encounter this problem. Many predecessors have demonstrated a complete plan for her.
For example, when the waist is not obvious in the early stage, you can normally participate in some relaxing slow variety shows and take more photos. When the month is older, you can rely on simple event endorsements to fill the time. In the later stage, when the signs are obvious, you can regularly post a few previous photos.
And Li Qin is lucky that winter is coming soon, and it won't be abnormal if she wears thicker clothes.
Even if some fans doubt it, it doesn't matter. When she was filming "Wind Blowing Half Summer", she said that she would gradually try some behind-the-scenes work, and this reason can be used just right.
These things were discussed by Li Qin and her team, while Meng Bai was busy with another thing during this period - he set up a trust fund of 10 billion.
This foundation was given as a birth gift to the little one who he didn't know whether it was a son or a daughter.
After more than a month of busy work, everything was finally ready until the end of the year. After confirming with the doctor that there was indeed nothing wrong with Li Qin's health, Meng Bai returned to Jingbei.
Although he had been away for some time, the company had always maintained normal operation. Today's Arclight has long passed the time when he still needed to do it himself, and he only needed to grasp the general direction of the development strategy. Arclight
has completed the group transformation this year. Starting from next year, the new plan is to promote the listing of its Apocalypse Entertainment. This is the first project under the "Arclight System" to be listed, so although it is now in the winter of film and television, the capital market is still very interested.
For all parties throwing olive branches, Meng Bai's attitude is to accept all comers, anyway, Apocalypse Entertainment was originally a "transit station" for him to bind all parties' partners.
For him, the core of the entire "Arclight System" is only Arclight Film and Television, which he created by himself, and nothing else is so important.
Work matters are still easy to solve, but emotional problems are more difficult.
He has been in Shanghai for nearly two months, and even the most honest Mai Mai has called him several times, not to mention the other girls.
So as soon as they found out that he was back, four or five calls came immediately. The more shy ones like Chaoyue asked him to "have dinner", and the bolder ones like Bailu just said that they had been at home recently.
And the little sister like Zhu Xudan, who was a masochist, started to seduce him coquettishly on the phone.
As a sea king, Meng Bai tried to treat every "little fish" in the fish pond equally. But then again, the relationship between people is still divided into close and distant.
He used the excuse of "I haven't been back for a long time and I have to deal with work first" to arrange the order of several "dates", and then went to Li Yitong leisurely.
"You stayed in Shanghai for a long time this time."
"Uh... some unexpected situations occurred."
"What situations? Is it troublesome?"
"It's not troublesome...or rather, it's not me who is in trouble."
Li Yitong, who was pouring water at the bar, looked up at the man in confusion when she heard the words. She didn't quite understand what he said.
Meng Bai also came over now, looking at the bright face in front of him: "There is something I want to tell you..."
"She... is pregnant."
"..."
Li Yitong paused, and after a long time, she responded nonchalantly: "Oh, that's quite troublesome."
Meng Bai walked over, hugged the woman from behind, felt the slight trembling of her body in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Sorry."
"What is there to apologize for? Pregnancy is not something you can actively control."
Li Yitong smiled casually, and then teased in her usual tone: "Okay, Mr. Meng, now there is finally someone who can call you 'Dad' seriously."
"Tsk, this sounds... a bit awkward."
"Just understand the meaning."
Although Li Yitong's tone was normal, Meng Bai couldn't help but see the bitterness in her heart. But this kind of thing will have to be faced sooner or later, and he didn't think he could hide it from her.
Fortunately, compared to Li Qin, this girl's mentality is more mature, and she didn't cry and make a fuss.
But when it was time to eat, Meng Bai found that he had underestimated women's competitive spirit.
"Grilled oysters with leeks, pigeon soup with wolfberry, roasted lamb with codonopsis... and this."
Li Yitong put a large draft beer cup on the table, which was full of black and red liquid: "This is deer blood wine, I asked someone to bring it from the Northeast."
After introducing the table of dishes, she curved her eyes and said sweetly: "Hurry up and eat, this is the welcoming banquet I prepared for you, you must eat it all!"
Looking at the dazzling array of ingredients in front of him, Meng Bai only felt a yang energy rushing towards him on the table.
Glancing at the smiling Li Yitong beside him, he said helplessly: "Boss Li, you know my strength, is there any need for this!"
"Strength is different from strength. I don't need the strength of a gun barrel now, what I need is the strength of a bullet!"
As she said that, she slapped the table and gritted her teeth and said: "It's just pregnancy, as if no one can't get pregnant! You finish these and come into the house. If one day doesn't work, then a week, if one week doesn't work, then a month, I don't believe I can't get pregnant, hum!"
Meng Bai: (￣△￣!)——
Winter goes and spring comes, summer ends and autumn comes.
In the courtyard of the Manhe Villa in Beijing North, Meng Bai sat on a rocking chair in the yard, looking at the yellowing leaves outside, holding a phone in his hand.
"...The film market is not doing well because there are no good films released. The only solution is to make more good films. What's the point of holding meetings every day... I won't go. You can just find a reason to turn it down."
After hanging up Hua Yan's phone, Meng Bai raised his arms and rested them behind his head.
In such good weather, what's the point of chatting about movies with a group of old men who are about to retire instead of staying at home to enjoy the breeze, bask in the sun, and spend time with his wife and children?
He was enjoying the comfort of the breeze when he suddenly heard a rustling sound. He opened one eye and took a look. A delicate figure was tiptoeing towards him.
"You are sneaking around, are you planning to assassinate me?"
Meng Ziyi, who was walking towards this side on tiptoe, was startled by the sudden voice and could not help but said, "Uncle, are you awake?"
"If you hadn't come over, I should have fallen asleep."
Meng Bai responded, then looked at her: "Didn't I ask you to look after my son, why are you here?"
"Come on, your son sits there with a smile on his face every day, staring with his eyes wide open for a long time without saying a word. What do you need to see?"
"That's called staying calm in the face of danger and having the demeanor of a king. What do you know?"
"Okay, okay, your son is amazing!" Meng Ziyi curled her lips, "The nanny is watching him, don't worry."
After that, she dragged a recliner from not far away, put it next to Meng Bai, and then lay down on it herself.
"Hmm - it turns out that you are the one who enjoys it, it's so comfortable!"
"Where is your aunt?"
"Sister Qinqin told me not to call her aunt." Meng Ziyi said: "She is doing postpartum recovery exercises in the house. She said that she hasn't appeared for a long time and her fans are asking about her situation. It just so happens that there will be nominations for the Best Actress in the Feitian Awards next month, and she plans to go to the scene then."
Hearing this, Meng Bai calculated the time in his mind. Li Qin gave birth to a child two months ago. She rested for a while during the confinement period. Now her body has almost recovered. It's nothing for her to attend a simple event like an award ceremony.
What's more, she was nominated for "Best Actress" this year with "Wind Blows Half Summer", and her chances of winning are quite high. Arc Light has also been helping her recently.
"By the way, little uncle, I heard some time ago that Sister Tongtong is also pregnant?"
"Yes, it's been more than seven months, and your aunt and uncle are taking care of her again."
"Tsk tsk, aunt and uncle are so hard-working."
"That can't be helped. She said that they are all her own children, and she can't worry about either of them."
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Girl."
"Girl is better. In the future, I, as her sister, can take her out to play. It will definitely be more interesting than your son."
"I said, that's called the king's demeanor."
"I know, I know..."
Meng Ziyi muttered, then looked up at the sky and sighed: "The clouds are so beautiful today!"
Meng Bai also opened his eyes.
The clear sunlight shone through the clouds, and the arc of light on the horizon was dazzling and grand.
May the future remain bright and brilliant.
