It was the first time for the Portuguese to visit this large estate. The feeling was completely different from the mountain villas built later. It had the heritage of several centuries.
Ivan took him in and was greeted by the butler at the door.
Everything in the house seemed so formal. This was the first time that Luo Xiaoxiao had a real understanding of "aristocracy".
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the reception room. Lunch would be held at the dining table further inside.
The butler looked at Alvin and his friends several times, seeming a little surprised. Ivan looked straight ahead, he knew what the butler was thinking. It was obvious that their casual attire was incompatible with the style of dining here.
The butler was well-trained. He didn't say much and respectfully welcomed the two people in.
Dining room.
Everyone was already sitting there. Luo Xiaoxiao looked around and saw that in addition to the two familiar ladies, there was also a strange man sitting there.
Alvin took him to sit down. There were only three people present besides them, very good, there was no one else.
He basically guessed who the man in front of him was.
The man stood up and shook hands with Ivan: "Hello, I'm Walter Brown."
Ivan nodded, "Ivan DeWitt."
He knew the other party, the person who worked at the Football Association and had once called Mark to reveal the news. It was said that he had recently been promoted to work at UEFA. He used to be a referee and was now an official of some size.
They were all people who had seen big scenes, so they were not surprised to see Ronaldo. The two ladies nodded to him as a greeting, and Walter then shook hands with the Portuguese. Ronaldo was very famous, and even those who didn't watch football had heard of his name, let alone Walter.
Ms. DeWitt looked at Ronaldo thoughtfully. Although he was Ivan's friend, when she told Ivan to come here for dinner, Ivan must have roughly understood what she was going to do and would not bring a outsider here casually.
But she didn't say anything, and even when the two of them were dressed inappropriately, she didn't say anything. Zhou Wen would not say anything at all. It was a rare opportunity to see her grandson, and she was so happy that she could not contain herself.
She watched the two people sit down, and the housekeeper went out to prepare the dishes. She introduced Alvin, "This is my fiancé, Alvin. I specially asked you to come here today so that you can get to know each other."
As a son, Alvin certainly has the right to know about his mother's marriage. He nodded, "Okay, I get it, congratulations, Mom. I also have something to tell you today."
The Portuguese blinked slowly. He inexplicably felt as if he was not here just to eat?
No, it was obvious, he should have known from the moment he got off the bus.
Ivan looked at the three people in front of him calmly: "Mom, grandma, Uncle Walter, I also want to introduce you, this is my lover, Cristiano Ronaldo."
“…”
Luo Xiaoxiao:! ! !
Meeting the parents came so suddenly and caught me off guard!
He tried to stand up again, but was held down by Ivan's hand under the dining table.
All three of them couldn't maintain their facial expressions. The elder only got married once, and the son... actually came out directly? !
The most shocked person was Walter. He was also a football worker and he knew too well what this meant for the football world. After the World Cup, the two world-recognized big stars were actually... digested internally? !
No, no, no, that’s not the point. The point is... Damn it, how can the two of them be together! If this gets out, it won't be something that public relations can solve.
His shock lasted only a moment, and then he nervously looked at the people around him, fearing that she would be too excited.
However.
The mother was the most open-minded. She had the least fluctuating facial expression among the three people: "Okay, I understand."
Luo Xiaoxiao & Zhou Wen & Walter: "..."
They are mother and son, absolutely mother and son!
She didn't care about the shock of the two people next to her: "What's wrong? Just think about it yourself. Or are you going to get married too?"
“…”
Luo Xiaoxiao:! ! !
He felt that he was too stimulated and needed to slow down.
At this time, the housekeeper came in with several maids, and they set the dishes aside one by one. Ms. DeWitt was very calm: "Just tell your family when you get married."
“…”
#No wonder he was so proactive in chatting with them in the stands.
Zhou Wen looked at the Portuguese, hesitant to speak, and ultimately did not express any opinion. This was a family dinner, and it would be best if it went harmoniously. To her surprise, the two parties involved were calmer than anyone else.
Their family is simple and they don't have too many concerns. Even if Alvin wants a child, he can just use a surrogate mother. It's totally free of burden.
After being surprised, everyone in the DeWitt family started to eat quietly. Only Luo Xiaoxiao and Walter looked confused. They probably didn't understand their loved ones' train of thought.
It feels like they heard news that should have been earth-shattering, but they didn't take it seriously? !
Ms. DeWitt ate little, and she was the first to put down her cutlery and took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth. Walter's concern came to her. He put his hand on Gray's back and whispered something to her in concern.
Alvin ate quickly. When he saw that the people across from him had almost finished eating, he put down his knife and fork.
Luo Xiaoxiao, who had lost his appetite, stopped eating when he saw that everyone had finished eating.
Alvin noticed his mother's expression and asked, "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
Ms. DeWitt shook her head: "It's okay, I'm pregnant."
Ivan & Luo Xiaoxiao: "..."
Ivan frowned: "You're going to South Africa in person even though you're pregnant?"
Ms. DeWitt was upset: “Let me go see what’s wrong with my son?”
Ivan: "No, it's just your body that matters."
Ms. DeWitt said nonchalantly: "I didn't find out until I got to South Africa. I was there anyway."
Everyone: “…”
When they finished their meal and were about to leave, Ronaldo said that the amount of information today was too much and he needed to digest it well...
The four cats, well fed and well cared for by the housekeeper, licked each other's fur and watched the two people leave: "Meow?"
Alvin touched their heads and said goodbye to them. He may not be at home recently and has no time to take care of them.
They got in the car. Luo Xiaoxiao unexpectedly didn't say anything. The two were silent for a while. Aiwen broke the silence first: "Are you full?"
Luo Xiaoxiao nodded.
"It's okay. We'll go buy some more food later if you're not full." Ivan looked at him, "I'm sorry for bringing you here so suddenly today."
The Portuguese shook his head like a rattle. "Don't apologize to me. I'm just a little surprised. On the contrary, I'm very happy."
Then he found that Alvin was smiling. He was like usual, with his eyes curved and his dimples deep, but the emotion in his eyes was a little different, as if he was relieved.
"This is good, isn't it?" Alvin seemed to be talking to himself.
Luo Xiaoxiao blinked. He didn't know much about Ivan's family affairs, so why was he so surprised to hear Ivan's mother say she wanted to get married today? He didn't know who Ivan's father was, and neither Ivan nor his family had ever mentioned it... Well, he thought of his mother, Dolores. His father had passed away, and his closest elder was only his mother...
Luo Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, took Ivan's hand, and looked at Ivan seriously: "You still have me, Ivan, don't be sad. I'm glad you brought me to meet your family."
"Yeah. I'm not sad." Ivan leaned closer to him and their lips touched. "Come to think of it, I'm going to have a brother or sister soon."
Luo Xiaoxiao carefully observed Aiwen's expression. He did not look repulsive, but rather looked expectant. He rolled his eyes and said, "Our son is about to be born, and your brother or sister will be born soon. How about a daughter? Well, your favorite little princess?"
Ivan's smile deepened: "Three happy events?"
Luo Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously: "Yes! Three good things coming together!"
Ivan kissed the corner of his mouth: "I think it's okay."
The two of them were sitting in the car happily when the phone rang.
"It's your call, Alvin." Luo Xiaoxiao said. This was not his ringtone.
Ivan looked at the caller ID and saw it was his agent Mark.
When the call was connected, Ivan pressed the hands-free key:
Mark: "Ivan? Where are you now?"
Ivan replied: "I'm at my manor here. It's not time yet, right Mark?"
Mark said, "Oh! DeWitt Manor? It's not far from here. It just so happens that... The person in charge of Nike said that it is required by the advertising script, and some scenes may be filmed in your home. Do you think it's okay? If DeWitt Manor can be used as the filming location, they are willing to pay double the advertising fee? There is this clause in the additional terms of the contract. Nike will compensate for the additional requirements."
All the media outlets that could dig up Ivan's identity have revealed that he is indeed a descendant of the nobility. Nike also noticed this. If the shooting scene could directly use a classical manor, it would undoubtedly increase the appeal of the advertisement.
Alvin had read the script and had a rough idea that the commercial they were going to shoot was about Nike sneakers. The plot in the script is related to many daily things.
He thought for a moment and decided that if it was just a rough shot, then it was no problem. His room was always ready and he could go back and live there anytime. The DeWitt Estate is not hidden from the public.
As the next owner of the DeWitt family, Ivan's request can undoubtedly be implemented. He and Luo Xiaoxiao returned to the villa, and the servants in the manor began to make arrangements.
Walter hadn't married Grey yet, so he could only be considered a guest. He stayed for a while after dinner and then left. He was also very busy after the World Cup as he had a lot of things to deal with at UEFA.
Zhou Wen and Gray had no objection and let Ivan give orders to the servants.
Nike's filming team came over very quickly, and it was obvious that they were impatient. When they came in, they all looked very worldly-wise, and walking in the high-end corridor, they still had the illusion of being country people coming to the city.
Many female staff members in the team exclaimed in their hearts. They looked at the furnishings in the villa with amazement in their eyes... It is so lucky to be able to work here today! You may not be able to visit a private estate like this even if you pay money!
Luo Xiaoxiao doesn't have any role here, it's all Ivan's. Because the script the staff just handed them was like this:
Ivan and Luo Xiaoxiao met in a competition. Ivan was the referee and Luo Xiaoxiao was a player. When Luo Xiaoxiao was dribbling the ball, he accidentally bumped into Ivan and both of them fell to the ground. The story begins here.
When they fell to the ground, their bodies were swapped for some unknown reason. The next morning, Luo Xiaoxiao woke up to find himself in a completely unfamiliar environment. He sat up from the strange bed, looked in the mirror and found that he had turned into Ivan; the same thing happened to Ivan. Ivan woke up in Luo Xiaoxiao's bed and found that he had turned into Luo Xiaoxiao.
What follows is a series of funny stories about the two people who exchanged bodies and used each other's bodies.
For example, as Luo Xiaoxiao, Ivan has to drive Luo Xiaoxiao's car to go to the club for training, to play for Real Madrid, and to receive the Golden Ball Award ceremony...
As Alvin, Luo Xiaoxiao had to adapt to the life of the nobility. His etiquette and temperament had to be exactly like Alvin's. He left Dewitt Manor every day, went jogging in the morning, and wore referee's uniform to referee the game...
Finally, after living in each other's body for a while, the two gradually got used to each other. They met in the Champions League with their own bodies...
This is the complete script. Alvin read it and thought the idea was really good.
Nike spent a huge amount of money, but such an advertisement obviously cannot be shot in one day. They had to move around to other locations, use a lot of extras, and even use the Bernabeu Stadium.
The stylist came over to do Alvin's styling. This scene was shot at Alvin's home. Alvin just needed to change his clothes.
After the makeup artist marveled at Alvin's great skin, the photography team followed Alvin upstairs to his room.
Luo Xiaoxiao also joined in the fun, and the director gave them some time to get to know each other, their habits and hobbies, so that they could act more like each other.
In other words, the next plot is: Ivan has been "traveled through" by Luo Xiaoxiao, and he has to pretend to be Luo Xiaoxiao, waking up in his own bed and starting his confused day.
Everyone entered Ivan's room and was shocked again.
Holy shit, what kind of prince's room is this? !
It’s not that the interior decoration is so fairy-tale-like, but! It's totally medieval style here! For example, Ivan’s king-size bed is the epitome of retro, low-key luxury!
While the photographer was fiddling around over there, Ivan and Luo Xiaoxiao were "getting to know" each other. Mendes arrived right after him, and he was wondering how his own player could arrive faster than him?
However, how else does Alvin need to understand Luo Xiaoxiao? The two of them already had a foundation.
When Mendes walked in, he didn't have time to appreciate Irving's house before he met Irving's agent Mark in the living room.
When competitors meet, they have to exchange pleasantries in a hypocritical manner.
Mendes smiled, his smile full of envy, because today he finally caught Evan's agent!
Let’s chat, have a good chat!
