Zhan Jingting sneered, "Isn't he very popular? What, a famous director like him can't even afford a snack?"
Zheng's mother: "......"
“Master Zhan, guests are guests. Besides, Madam studies your illness at home every day and doesn’t have time to make new friends. If you count, only Second Young Master Wen can be considered her good friend. It’s only natural that we should chat since we rarely meet.” Zheng Ma said boldly. “Master Zhan, if you miss Madam, why don’t you go down and chat with them? I just brought in some fruit, and they were talking about a script. Madam seems to really like that script; her eyes are shining.”
"I'm not interested in entertainment industry matters." Zhan Jingting turned on his computer. "It looks like Wanwan isn't planning on going for a walk today. I'm going to work, you can go out."
"yes."
......
It was already eleven o'clock when Qiao Wanwan saw Wen Lixuan off.
She went to Eleven's room to check on her sleeping son before returning to the master bedroom.
Zhan Jingting, dressed in dark pajamas, was leaning against the headboard of the bed, flipping through a book.
"You're still not asleep?" Qiao Wanwan went to get her pajamas. "Didn't I tell Zheng Ma to tell you to go to sleep first?"
Zhan Jingting looked up at her and said, "How can I sleep when you're chatting with other men downstairs?"
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
She walked over with her pajamas in her arms, smiling as she said, "Mr. Zhan, are you jealous?"
"Does he deserve my jealousy?" the man retorted.
Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but chuckle, "You can't say that. He's a famous director now, a very talented male god."
"No matter how talented I am, I'm not your idol. Your idol can only be me."
Qiao Wanwan suppressed a laugh, "You're such a grown-up, how can you still be so childish? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"
"What do I have to be afraid of?" Zhan Jingting said with dissatisfaction. "You're pregnant now, you should rest earlier at night. What kind of behavior is it to chat with people so late?"
Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but pinch the man's cheek. "Mr. Zhan, you're so hypocritical. I can chat with you until the wee hours of the morning."
"Can I be the same as other people?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. It's just that I haven't seen Lixuan in a long time, and he had something important to discuss with me today. I talked to him about a script that I really like." Qiao Wanwan sat down on the edge of the bed. "Jingting, I have something important to tell you. I want to invest in this movie."
"Why the sudden idea of investing in movies? Was it Wen Lixuan's suggestion?"
“No, with his current status in the entertainment industry, investors are scrambling to come to him. It was my own decision to invest,” Qiao Wanwan explained. “I’m currently at home taking care of my pregnancy while researching the antidote. I have no source of income. Of course, my family isn’t short of money, and we don’t need me to earn money, but I still want to make myself more valuable.”
“I have high hopes for this movie. If I were to invest, Li-Hsuan would give me priority consideration, so I want to give it a try.”
“Investment is no problem, I only have one request.” Zhan Jingting held her hand, “Don’t worry too much, and don’t overwork yourself.”
"Don't worry, I'm the big spender, I won't get tired, at most I'll just go to the film set or something."
"good."
......
With the investment of capital, the film's preparation went very smoothly.
Wen Lixuan specially arranged a role for Qiao Wanwan, with very few scenes and only one shot, as a post-credits scene.
Qiao Wanwan did not refuse. She couldn't fully dedicate herself to filming for various reasons, but she actually wanted to.
She realized that although Eleven looked exactly like Zhan Jingting, she also resembled her somewhat. If she increased her exposure, more people would get to know her.
If the other child is still alive, and people around her notice that the child looks like her, will they try to find her?
Although it was a very slim possibility, or even a pipe dream, she still didn't want to give up on this dream.
Zhan Jingting guessed Qiao Wanwan's thoughts, and considering that her role was so small as to be negligible, he did not object.
Despite investing in the film, Qiao Wanwan's life remained largely unchanged. She would only occasionally visit the film set, and if anything came up, Wen Lixuan would come to Wutong Bay to discuss it with her.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Qiao Wanwan's baby was three months along.
The legendary doctor took her pulse and said, "The baby is fine. Go to the hospital tomorrow for a full prenatal checkup, then you can rest assured."
"That's good." Qiao Wanwan asked, "Master, do you think I'm carrying a boy or a girl?"
"Master doesn't know," the Ghost Hand Doctor said truthfully. "Besides, Wanwan, it's not that Master is superstitious, but the Zhan family has never had a daughter in all their generations of sons, so we have no choice but to believe it."
“I know I’m not hoping for a daughter. Even if I give birth to a daughter, it doesn’t mean she won’t have any genetic diseases,” Qiao Wanwan said calmly. “I’m just thinking that, whether it’s a boy or a girl, is it possible to detect whether he has any genetic diseases while he’s in my belly? If possible, we can start treatment before he’s born. That would be the best for the child.”
The Ghost Hand Doctor nodded. "Wanwan, you're right. It would be best to intervene and treat the child before birth. And don't forget, your blood is key to treating the child's genetic disease. Logically speaking, the child is most easily treated while still in your womb."
"That's wonderful! Since Master has approved this idea, I must give it a try!" Qiao Wanwan was extremely excited. "I'll go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup tomorrow and keep a close eye on the baby. I hope that when he's born, he'll be a healthy baby and won't have to go through the same pain as Eleven!"
"Yes, that's what we all wish for too."
......
The next morning, Zhan Jingting accompanied Qiao Wanwan to the hospital.
From the moment he learned that Qiao Wanwan was pregnant, Zhan Jingting personally prepared a lot of things. For example, in just over a month, a medical team was assembled, including not only the most authoritative obstetricians and gynecologists, but also experts in genetic diseases, all in order to ensure that Qiao Wanwan could give birth to a healthy child.
The examination went smoothly and the results were good.
Qiao Wanwan touched her flat stomach. "The baby is indeed too small. We can't find anything right now. We'll probably have to wait until six or seven months to find out."
"No rush." Zhan Jingting looked at her gently. "If everything is alright, that's a good thing."
"Yes, I don't want to find out that my child has a problem, but if he is a boy and is destined to inherit this disease, then I still hope to find out as soon as possible and do intervention treatment."
"You must be hungry after a morning of examinations. Let's go eat first."
"good."
It was a rare occasion for Qiao Wanwan to eat out, so she was really looking forward to it and found a highly-rated restaurant near the hospital.
Zhan Jingting made a phone call to reserve a private room, and then went over and took his seat.
I had just sat down and started ordering when I heard a familiar voice...
