How long will it take to film?
"Hmm... I'm a supporting character, so it'll probably take about two months."
Huo Linyuan sighed. Although reluctant, he knew it was her job; she was an actress, and they would be apart more often in the future. He wouldn't ask her to stay at home. He wanted his precious darling to be able to do whatever she wanted, without any constraints.
Huo Linyuan kissed her lips reluctantly, "I'll visit the set when I have time."
Despite her reluctance, Yu Chaoxi packed her bags, dragged her suitcase, and flew to Qing City.
"Mirror Heart" is a female-centric drama that tells the story of a woman who uses her intelligence to solve a series of mysterious cases, rising from a peasant girl to the capital, uncovering her true identity, exposing the princess who impersonated her, and reclaiming her rightful place. The lead actors are all top-tier stars who are very capable of carrying a drama.
Yu Chaoxi plays the villainous princess who usurps the throne.
Filming progressed faster than she had imagined; her scenes were completed in less than two months. During this time, Huo Linyuan visited the set every week. On the day filming wrapped, Yu Chaoxi didn't tell Huo Linyuan; she packed up and quietly bought a plane ticket to fly back to Beijing.
They waited and waited, but Huo Linyuan didn't come home even by evening.
Yu Chaoxi felt puzzled and called Huo Linyuan, who answered immediately.
"Wow, are you done filming?"
Yu Chaoxi responded with an "Mmm," then asked, "Are you off work?"
The deep voice on the other end paused almost imperceptibly, "I'm logging off. I just got home."
Yu Chaoxi, “?”
Yu Chaoxi snorted at him unhappily and hung up the phone.
Huo Linyuan, "?"
Huo Linyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly called back, but the other party rejected the call. He immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed home.
Although Yu Chaoxi believed that Huo Linyuan would not do anything to betray her, he was clearly hiding something from her and had lied to her that he had gone home, which made her very unhappy.
The system suddenly spoke softly, "Host, don't be angry. I checked for you, and he's preparing a surprise for you!"
"Hmm? What surprise?"
"Propose!"
Yu Chaoxi blinked, silently suppressing her temper. If that's the case, then not going home is understandable!
"It was supposed to be a surprise, but now that you've mentioned it, the surprise is gone."
System, "...Is it my fault?"
The system snorted, turned its back in the space, and held the fluffy rabbit tail towards her.
"Okay, okay, I didn't mean to blame you. You're the cutest bunny, how could I blame you?" Yu Chaoxi coaxed the temperamental system.
The system turned around arrogantly, its rabbit ears standing up, clearly pleased with Yu Chaoxi's praise.
Half an hour later, Huo Linyuan rushed back to Lanyue Bay and saw that the master bedroom light was on.
He hurriedly went upstairs to explain, "Goodness, I didn't go out fooling around."
Yu Chaoxi threw herself into his arms and kissed the corner of his lips with amusement, "I never suspected you were out fooling around!"
"Aren't you happy that I came back early after finishing filming?"
Yu Chaoxi blinked at him, not asking where he had gone, which made Huo Linyuan secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
He hugged the person in his arms tightly and returned the kiss forcefully, demonstrating his joy through his actions.
For the past two months, every time Huo Linyuan visited her on set, he felt sorry for her working so hard and couldn't bear to make her suffer, so the two of them would just chat under the covers. Now, upon seeing each other again, an intense wave of emotion overwhelmed them both.
In a daze, Yu Chaoxi looked at the man above her whose eyes were filled with lust, and vaguely realized that she seemed to be pregnant.
It's no wonder she didn't remember; this pregnancy was very quiet, with no morning sickness or other symptoms, which made her always forget that she was pregnant.
Thinking of this, Yu Chaoxi couldn't help but gently push him away, "Wait, I have something important to tell you."
"Mmm." Huo Linyuan placed a kiss on her shoulder. "What's wrong?"
"Well... I think I'm pregnant." Yu Chaoxi placed his hand on his abdomen and said something surprising.
Huo Linyuan paused.
The next moment, Yu Chaoxi clearly felt that the weight pressing on her body had lightened considerably.
Huo Linyuan leaned slightly above her, a look of disbelief in his deep eyes. "Pregnant? You're pregnant?"
"We always have precautions in place..."
Huo Linyuan's voice suddenly stopped. He thought that there was indeed a time when he hadn't taken precautions. Could it be that time?
Yu Chaoxi met his gaze, seemed to understand his thoughts, and nodded slightly with an innocent expression.
"I haven't had my period for two months."
Huo Linyuan's eyes flickered, and he rolled out of bed, a hint of urgency and panic in his movements. He pulled Yu Chaoxi up from the bed, "Sweetie, let's go to the hospital for a check-up."
Yu Chaoxi was speechless for a moment, and silently reminded him, "It's night now, you can only have the check-up tomorrow."
Huo Linyuan then abandoned the idea of going to the hospital so late at night, turned off the light, and covered Yu Chaoxi with a blanket. "Go to sleep. I'll go to the hospital with you for a check-up tomorrow."
Yu Chaoxi nodded obediently, closed her eyes, and fell asleep soon after.
Huo Linyuan couldn't fall asleep no matter what. In the darkness, he used the little light coming in from the window to trace her outline, his mind in turmoil.
If someone had told him a few months ago that he was going to get married and have children, he probably would have thought that person was crazy.
He had already decided to live a solitary life, never marrying or having children, and he had no desire for marriage whatsoever. But this predetermined path suddenly changed because of Yu Chaoxi's appearance; he got married and is very likely to welcome his first child.
The excitement and anticipation that welled up inside him kept him awake all night, only managing to doze off for a short while as dawn approached.
After the test results came out, Huo Linyuan looked at the report showing eight weeks of pregnancy, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. A smile appeared on his handsome face, "My goodness, you're really pregnant, almost two months along."
Yu Chaoxi was also somewhat bewildered when she saw the words "double embryos" on the screen.
"Bunny, bunny, I remember I only took one fertility pill, how come I'm pregnant with twins?"
The system exclaimed, "What's so strange about that? Huo Linyuan just doesn't plan to get married or have children, but he himself is fine. It's not impossible, is it?"
"You can do that???"
"Mmm!"
Fortunately, she was quite accepting of the situation. After all, having one child was the same as having two. Yu Chaoxi quickly calmed down and a bright smile appeared on her face.
She hugged the man's waist tightly and raised her small face.
"Huo Linyuan, I am so happy. We have two children who are related by blood. These two children are the bond between you and me, tightly connecting us together."
Huo Linyuan's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and kissed her small lips, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a fragile treasure held in the palm of his hand.
