Chapter 140 Chapter 140 Xu Hong asked cautiously,...

Xu Hong asked cautiously. She was a little conflicted. She wanted to get a positive answer, but also looked forward to hearing another one.

Dai Qingyue saw Xu Hong's nervousness and sighed softly. Xu Hong still didn't know how to hide her emotions like before. Everything she was thinking was exposed.

"The film festival opened some time ago, and I happened to have some free time so I went there and watched a lot of movies. Of course, I also watched your new work. I was a little surprised that you would take on such a role. It's very exciting and eye-opening."

Dai Qingyue praised Xu Hong for a few words and then continued with the previous topic.

"In an exhibition hall, I met a very interesting kid. He was standing in front of the poster of Snow Burning, looking at it attentively. I noticed him from a distance. He had beautiful eyes. I went up to him and chatted with him for a few words. I just thought he was very interesting. The next day when I went to see Blossom, I met him again. He was wearing a mask, revealing only his eyes. I suddenly realized that his eyes were very similar to yours. We made an appointment to have dinner together. It's quite a coincidence that our tastes are also very similar."

When Dai Qingyue said this, Xu Hong had no idea what he was saying. She suddenly covered her face and started crying.

"I am sorry for you. I shouldn't have kept such an important thing from you. But I was too young at that time. I didn't know what to do. We broke up and I couldn't contact you. I was too scared to be alone."

When Xu Hong and Dai Qingyue were together, she was only 20 years old. The two broke up because of different ideas. Dai Qingyue was tired of the complicated interpersonal relationships in the film industry and wanted to make documentaries, while Xu Hong hoped that he could continue to be a director.

The two argued many times, and eventually their love was exhausted in the quarrels.

Dai Qingyue left Xu Hong a sum of money and left alone to pursue his dreams and freedom. In this situation, Xu Hong found out that she was pregnant.

She struggled with it for a long time, but finally gave birth to the child. However, she felt that since they had broken up, the child had nothing to do with Dai Qingyue.

She was too young at that time, so she held her breath and wanted to punish Dai Qingyue. She thought that one day in the future when he knew about this, he would regret it and feel annoyed.

Unfortunately, things did not develop as she expected. Something happened to the Dai family, and they moved abroad. Dai Qingyue also left and never came back.

Xu Hong's revenge ultimately only brought revenge upon herself. She did not allow Xu Qingye to show up in public, for fear that Dai Qingyue would discover his existence. After her love for Dai Qingyue was completely exhausted, her love for the child also disappeared.

Until now, it seems that no one is having a good life.

"I wanted to tell him about you, but I'm not a good mother, and you don't have a good image in his mind. He doesn't want to know about you, so I didn't dare to say more."

Xu Hong cried for a while, venting the grievances and resentments accumulated in her heart. She had a lot of resentment towards Dai Qingyue. She resented that he had never contacted her once in all these years, and that he had left so decisively, but he didn't even break up with her properly.

A person just disappears like that.

"I was so angry at that time. Every time I looked at him, I thought of you. I wanted to take good care of him, but I couldn't do it. After all, I was too selfish. I shouldn't have given birth to him and treated him like that."

Xu Hong recalled these years, if the first generation Qingyue had not suddenly disappeared, perhaps everything would be different.

Dai Qingyue reached out and gently patted Xu Hong's back, and he showed a bitter smile.

A lot of things happened at that time, so he had no time to care about Xu Hong.

After quarreling and leaving Xu Hong, he actually regretted it very quickly. He wanted to go back to find her, but at this juncture, his father was murdered and the family business plummeted.

His father was gone and his mother had lost her backbone, so he could only accompany his mother. Later, a series of things happened and they moved their family to Country M and almost cut off contact with the mainland.

A few years later, Dai Qingyue heard the news that Xu Hong had become a movie queen. He was really happy for her, but he no longer had the courage to meet her.

Over the years, he had no confidence that Xu Hong would wait for her, and that there would always be outstanding people around her. Dai Qingyue did not dare to guarantee that there would be a position for him when he returned.

Dai Qingyue suddenly talked about the past and couldn't help feeling sad. It was fate after all, and they missed each other just like that.

"In the end, I am sorry for you."

"It's useless to say all this. What are your plans now? Xiao Ye appears gentle on the surface, but he is a very stubborn person at heart. If you tell him the truth rashly, I'm afraid he won't accept you."

Xu Hong looked at Dai Qingyue with some worry. This was all her fault because she had not fulfilled her duties as a mother, causing him to lose all expectations for family affection and love.

The missing father figure naturally does not have a good image in his mind.

"We get along well now, that's enough. It doesn't matter whether he recognizes me or not. You don't have to care too much. From your perspective, you're having a hard time too."

Dai Qingyue shook his head. He was undoubtedly excited when he knew he had a child, but after calming down, he thought a lot about it.

It seemed that not disturbing him was the best option, but he couldn't do it, so he decided to be friends with him. At least, they would have a lot of common topics to talk about.

Xu Hong looked at Dai Qingyue and suddenly thought of something. She spoke hesitantly.

"Did you know that Xiao Ye has a boyfriend?"

"As for Shen Que, I've met him a few times and he seems to be a nice guy. Xiao Ye invited me to have dinner at his house next time and said that I could have Shen Que cook for me so I could have a chance to taste his cooking skills."

Dai Qingyue nodded, and his tone was full of fondness when he mentioned Shen Que, as if he was very satisfied with him.

Xu Hong looked at Dai Qingyue with some surprise. She had thought that he would mind this. Dai Qingyue was born in a merchant family, a very traditional family. He was already the most rebellious one in their family. In her opinion, Dai Qingyue would probably not be able to accept Xu Qingye talking about a boyfriend.

"Don't look at me like that. I haven't done anything for the child, and I have no right to direct his life. Besides, Shen Que is really good. Don't think too much and don't interfere with the child. At least Xiao Ye is happy around Shen Que, and that's enough."

Dai Qingyue had basically figured out the conflict between Xu Hong and Xu Qingye. It was nothing more than not giving enough love and care to the children and at the same time excessive control, which the children naturally couldn't stand.

But Dai Qingyue had no right to blame Xu Hong, so he could only advise her to relax.

Xu Hong remained silent, and finally nodded without saying anything else.

After finishing the topic about Xu Qingye, Xu Hong looked at Dai Qingyue and suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I am laughing at the fate that plays tricks on me. I couldn't see you when I wanted to, and when I saw you suddenly, everything was too late. I didn't let Xiao Ye enter the entertainment industry or show him in public, because I was afraid that you would see him. But I happened to invite him to the film festival and let him watch my movie, and you two met like this."

Xu Hong didn't know how to describe this feeling. Perhaps everything was ultimately destined to happen, and there was no way to escape or break free from it.

After finishing her meal with Dai Qingyue, Xu Hong left alone. She did not go looking for Xu Qingye again because she was afraid that she would lose control when she saw Xu Qingye.

Dai Qingyue's visit was just a small episode for Xu Qingye, but it made the relationship between the two closer. Xu Qingye would chat with him about some photography-related topics, and Dai Qingye would naturally answer them patiently. Dai Qingyue also invited Xu Qingye to visit several exhibitions.

"Shen Que will be back in two days, so I'll just make up for the meal I owe you. I'll send you the address. I think you should be free for the next two days."

Xu Qingye had just received Shen Que's itinerary. He mentioned to Shen Que that he wanted to invite Dai Qingyue home as a guest, but Shen Que had no objection.

"Okay, of course I'm free. Is there anything Shen really interested in? I can't come empty-handed."

"Don't be so polite. Shen doesn't need anything. I usually just send him flowers. It would be a bit strange if you send him flowers. If you don't want to come empty-handed, just buy some fruit."

Xu Qingye thought about it and felt that Shen Que didn't seem to have any particular favorite things. He basically bought everything he wanted. It was really difficult to give him a gift.

"I see."

Dai Qingyue nodded. Of course he wouldn’t really just come and bring some fruits.

"Shen Que usually cooks, what do you eat when he's not around?"

"I eat in the cafeteria or takeout, and sometimes I cook instant noodles myself. I originally wanted to hire an auntie, but there are many inconveniences. Usually I just call a part-time worker to clean up."

Xu Qingye had thought about hiring a nanny many times, but good nannies were hard to come by. Shen Que was an artist, so he had to be extra careful when looking for a nanny.

"If you believe me, I'll introduce you to someone who is very capable and careful with his words. He will definitely not say anything he shouldn't."

"It would be great if there is a suitable one. I'll take care of it, uncle."

Xu Qingye nodded. He didn't like doing housework. He could be lazy when Shen Que was around, but he had to do it when he was alone.

If he had a reliable nanny, he would be completely liberated.

After chatting for a while, Xu Qingye said goodbye to Dai Qingyue. He told Shen Que that Dai Qingyue wanted to introduce him to a nanny, but Shen Que still had no objection.

"Oh, how come you have no opinion on anything I say? Does that mean I'm the boss?"

Xu Qingye turned over in bed and shook his head as he looked at Shen Que on the screen of his mobile phone.

"You are the master of our house, so you can make the decisions on these matters."

Shen Que is still filming. His new drama is a costume detective drama set in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It tells the passionate story of a group of people solving cases that seem to involve supernatural events.

Shen Que plays a man of mysterious identity. He has a lot of fighting scenes in this drama, so he has been training with a martial arts instructor in his free time, and I have filmed a lot of videos for him before.

When the crew was promoting the film, they showed a lot of fighting scene footage, and Shen Que became a hot topic several times.

Shen Que first became popular because of his ancient costume style. This time he was filming a costume drama, and a large group of fans were clamoring for it. Xu Qingye didn't go to shoot the Reuters, but was still urged by a group of people to update.

"Please update your Weibo more often, post a selfie or something to interact with your fans. Don't be so cool. You've already sent me a message asking for photos. If you don't post a selfie, I'll have to come to the crew to work."

Xu Qingye and Shen Que complained that because Yi He was busy dating recently, he had to do a lot of things in the studio, so he was unable to get away for a while. He never thought that when Yi He fell in love, he would become the victim.

"I won't send it. I'll wait for you to come over."

Shen Que shook his head. They hadn't seen each other for almost half a month, and Xu Qingye didn't miss him at all.

"After you come back from vacation, I will go to the crew with you for a while. I have almost finished dealing with my affairs here."

Xu Qingye calculated that he was mainly busy with the investment company. He and Yi He opened the company together, but Yi He had been going too far recently. He had already sent a message to Qiao Ran, asking her, as the eldest sister-in-law, to keep Yi He in mind.

Qiao Ran and Yi An's wedding is scheduled for March next year. According to Yi He, his wedding will be held after their wedding, which will be around May or June. Yi He will also get married. Thinking of this, Xu Qingye felt a little envious.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Shen Que saw that Xu Qingye was in a daze again, so he called out to him.

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought about Yi He getting married next year, and I suddenly felt a little emotional."

Xu Qingye counted on his fingers and realized that he was almost thirty years old. Time really passed by so quickly.

Shen Que glanced at Xu Qingye and just responded without saying anything.

"Please come back soon. I miss you."

Just as Xu Qingye finished speaking, Shen Que suddenly popped his head out. It turned out to be an acquaintance of Xu Qingye.
