On Monday night, Duan Ye worked late and waited for Luo Qingyuan to pick him up for dinner at the company entrance.
In those few short minutes, Duan Ye's phone rang; it was Ding Yifen calling.
Duan Ye answered the phone: "Hello, Mom?"
Ding Yifen was clearly excited: "Xiao Ye, have you seen the short videos? And the trending topics on Weibo?"
Duan Ye is busy with work, where would he find the time to watch videos or browse Douyin?
"I haven't had time to watch it, what's wrong?"
Ding Yifen said happily, "The Legend of Yunshang starring Nanxing will be released at 7:30 tonight! Let me tell you, this is great news! Nanxing is about to become a big star!"
Duan Ye was slightly taken aback, then smiled.
He could understand why his mother was so happy. His mother and Nanxing's mother had been best friends for decades, and his mother also treated Nanxing like a daughter.
When I was a child, parent-teacher conferences were attended by whoever was available from both families.
So Duan Ye said, "I've been busy lately and haven't had time to watch it, but she's really amazing."
Ding Yifen smiled broadly: "Yes, yes, oh dear, remember to send her a congratulatory message. Also, bring Qingyuan back sometime so our two families can have a meal together. Your Aunt Xie also wants to meet your wife and has prepared a gift for her."
Duan Ye responded softly, "Okay."
After exchanging a few greetings, Ding Yifen hung up the phone.
At Nanxing's house.
Xie Congjing was carrying food out of the kitchen.
"Oh dear, you're so busy with work, how could you have time to worry about these things?"
Ding Yifen: "You're not right. We're best friends. Your daughter is successful in her career, so my son definitely has to say a few good words to congratulate her. I've even prepared a big red envelope for Nanxing. I'll give it to her when she comes back."
“Nanxing has made something of herself. I not only told Duan Ye, but I also asked my husband to promote her at the company and to promote her to the students when he goes to school.”
Xie Congjing: "You're right. When our daughter is interviewed, we'll definitely dress up nicely so as not to embarrass her!"
Ding Yifen: "Yes! Hahaha..."
"My best friend's daughter is a big star, that's so impressive..."
Xie Congjing also grinned from ear to ear: "Look how happy you are."
Ding Yifen said happily, "Of course, it's gorgeous!"
——
Duan Ye opened Weibo and saw the top trending topics, all about the premiere of "The Legend of Yunshang".
I heard that six episodes will be airing tonight. Nanxing is paired with a popular male celebrity who brings his own audience and fans, and the supporting cast is also excellent.
Nanxing has worked so hard for so many years, and this is all she deserves.
Duan Ye still didn't send a private message to Nanxing. Instead, he joined many other fans in commenting on Nanxing's Weibo: "Congratulations! I hope you get better and better, shine brightly, and be the center of attention."
Looking at the promotional photos, Duan Ye couldn't help but smile and sigh. The little girl who used to follow him around crying back then had finally achieved her dream of standing on a bigger stage.
Duan Ye murmured, "Nanxing, I hope your future is bright."
Just as Duan Ye put his phone away, Luo Qingyuan drove up with her hazard lights on.
"Honey, get in the car!"
Hearing Luo Qingyuan's conspicuous voice, Duan Ye felt a sweet warmth in his heart and quickly ran over: "Coming, coming~"
This simple yet sweet life is what Duan Ye is pursuing, and he will cherish it.
Once in the car, Luo Qingyuan immediately said, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat hot pot a while ago? A colleague recommended a really good hot pot restaurant today, shall we go eat there?"
Duan Ye nodded excitedly: "Great! You don't know how awesome hot pot is!"
Luo Qingyuan asked him with a smile, "Should we invite Lin Feng and Liu Jie to come along?"
Luo Qingyuan hadn't forgotten that Duan Ye had said he wanted them to have a meal together.
Duan Ye looked at her: "Is Goddess Luo treating us?"
Luo Qingyuan raised an eyebrow: "Please, please!"
Duan Ye immediately smiled: "Okay, I'll call them right away."
Luo Qingyuan didn't forget to remind him, "Have Lin Feng bring Xiaoyin along, it's been so long since we've seen each other."
Duan Ye clicked his tongue twice before saying, "You girls' revolutionary friendships develop pretty quickly, huh? It hasn't been long, and you're already so familiar with Sun Xiaoyin?"
Luo Qingyuan grinned and said, "This has to be kept a secret, we have a secret!"
Duan Ye didn't press the matter further, but he was quite pleased to see his wife and his brother's wife getting along so well.
After all, in the past twenty years, Duan Ye had only gotten along well with these two brothers, so naturally he hoped that the wives of each of them could also get along well.
Duan Ye was sending a message in the group chat of the three brothers, saying that Luo Qingyuan was inviting them to dinner and asking them to bring their partners. A short while later, a message came in the group chat.
Lin Feng: Location.
Liu Jie: Position.
Duan Ye asked Luo Qingyuan for the location of the hot pot restaurant and then quickly sent her the location.
Luo Qingyuan thought it was great and agreed that Duan Ye had such a good brother. After all, life should be about experiencing all kinds of things, not just being bound by love.
As they approached the hot pot restaurant, Luo Qingyuan suddenly remembered the new drama that was going to premiere that night.
So Luo Qingyuan said, "By the way, did you know that Nanxing's new drama is premiering tonight?"
Duan Ye remained calm: "My mom called me and asked me to send her a congratulatory message."
Only after Duan Ye mentioned this did Luo Qingyuan realize that Duan Ye's mother and Nan Xing's mother were best friends, just like the relationship between her and Shen Niannian.
Therefore, it's understandable that Duan Ye's mother would take it to heart. If it were Shen Niannian's daughter, she would probably have to buy popularity boosters.
Luo Qingyuan: "Have you posted it yet? This is a big deal. You two are childhood friends, so it's only right that you say something."
After all, she would still need to invite Nanxing to her wedding with Duan Ye.
Duan Ye smiled and said, "I already congratulated her on her Weibo."
"Besides, my mom has definitely prepared a big red envelope, and she might even go to the scene with Aunt Xie to offer her congratulations. I won't worry about that."
Luo Qingyuan nodded: "That makes sense. I'll prepare a gift for her another time."
Duan Ye was somewhat surprised: "You... you're being so generous again?"
Luo Qingyuan rolled her eyes at him: "When your sister is being magnanimous, you'd better shut up, or I'll start making a scene again and you won't be able to sleep tonight."
Duan Ye immediately sat up straight, looked straight ahead, and refused righteously: "That won't do, I have to go to work tomorrow."
Luo Qingyuan laughed and said to him, "You say one thing but do another."
The two were playfully bickering here, while back in the film crew's dressing room...
Nanxing's phone screen remained stuck on Duan Yefa's sentence.
She doesn't follow anyone on Weibo, but the only ID she knows by heart is Duan Ye's: Lone Wolf.
She had mocked him many times, but because of that, she remembered it very clearly.
