When they arrived at the parking lot, Lu Yanci opened the car door for her. After they got in, he didn't rush to drive off.
Warm palms enveloped her hands, which were resting on her knees.
Noticing that her fingers were cold, he frowned, tightened his grip, and gently stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips, silently soothing her.
Qin Yue snapped out of her daze and gave him a smile: "I'm fine. We agreed to go fishing with Grandpa this afternoon. Let's go."
"It's fine to go another day, shall we go home?"
Qin Yue shook her head: "Grandpa has been looking forward to this day for so long. It's not easy for us to both have time now. We can't let him down. Let's go to Grandpa's first. I'll eat the fish you caught tonight."
"Okay." Lu Yanci said "okay" after a moment of silence. He took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to her.
The car drove out of the parking lot.
While waiting at the red light, Lu Yanci held her hand again, kneading her knuckles with his fingers, without saying a word.
Qin Yue glanced at the diamond ring on her ring finger and asked, "Aren't you curious about what Qin Xu meant by that?"
“I want to know what's making you sad.” He paused and then said, “But I think it would be better if you were willing to tell me later.”
What if I never want to say it?
“Everyone has their own secrets,” he said without hesitation.
"And you? Do you have your own secrets too?"
“You already know the biggest secret,” he said.
The day his secret crush was exposed, he had no secrets left from her.
The gloom in Qin Yue's heart gradually dissipated, and she chuckled softly, saying, "You have no secrets from me, but I have things I don't want to tell you. It doesn't sound very fair to you."
"With you by my side, the world has already been very kind to me." He started the car and said this naturally.
Qin Yue was stunned for a moment.
After turning around and regaining her composure, she smiled and said, "It should be said that heaven has been kind to the two of us."
Qin Yue still didn't get to eat Lu Yanci's fish that evening.
The grandfather and grandson had a fishing competition.
The old man didn't catch a single fish.
To make the old man happy, Qin Yue winked at Lu Yanci, signaling him to release all the fish he had caught. The two of them then carried the empty bucket home.
Qin Yue played chess with the old man for a while, but under the old man's angry gaze, Lu Yanci took her away to a well-known grilled fish restaurant, where she finally got to eat the fish she had been craving all day.
As soon as she put the food in her mouth, a wave of nausea rose in her stomach. She covered her mouth, waved her hand at Lu Yanci, and stopped him from putting food on her plate.
Lu Yanci quickly put down his chopsticks, placed warm water beside her to help her suppress her nausea, then picked up her bag from the chair, took her hand, and got up to take her to the hospital.
On the way from the restaurant to the hospital, his face looked even worse than Qin Yue's, his lips pressed into an almost straight line.
After the test results came out, Lu Yanci's soul seemed to leave home. He couldn't hear anything the doctor said and just stared blankly at the test report in his hand.
Qin Yue was relatively calmer than him, but only slightly.
She doesn't reject children. Just as she told Qin's mother, she believes in letting nature take its course when it comes to having children. She hadn't been thinking about preparing for pregnancy, but she had occasionally stopped using contraception in the last month or two, and unexpectedly, she got pregnant.
After regaining his senses, Lu Yanci hurriedly asked the doctor about precautions, repeating the doctor's words over and over again, keeping them in mind. When he left the hospital, Lu Yanci was walking with his hands and feet almost in sync.
He only calmed down after he got home.
Lu Yanci helped her sit down on the sofa and asked her if she wanted to inform both sets of parents, or wait until three months had passed.
"Now tell me."
Lu Yanci called the Lu family, and Qin Yue called her mother.
After repeated persuasion from the two, they finally gave up the idea of visiting Qin Yue late at night.
After informing both sets of parents, Lu Yanci's smile remained, and he still looked somewhat excited. Remembering that she hadn't eaten much that evening, he hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook.
After dinner, he told Qin Yue to rest first, and went to the gym upstairs by himself.
Qin Yue was bored downstairs, so she simply watched him exercise.
She nestled on the sofa, a fruit platter prepared by Lu Yanci on the round table beside her, and lazily flipped through an entertainment magazine in her hand.
The cover features Jiang Xiu, and the inside pages also contain interview quotes from Jiang Xiu.
Jiang Xiu is the one who brings the most profit to the company now, and he is also the one who makes people feel most at ease. His agent has told her more than once that he has never managed such an easy-going artist. Although his status is heading straight for the top tier, he has no airs and follows the company's arrangements in everything.
Qin Yue usually has a lot of contact with the company's artists and has talked to Jiang Xiu a few times. His meaning is very clear: for some people in the entertainment industry, one or two hundred thousand yuan may not be much money, but for him, the money Qin Yue gave him was a life-saving fund. As long as the company does not terminate his contract, he will stay with Xingwu Entertainment for life.
Qin Yue wasn't an unscrupulous boss, so she still asked her agent to consult him on some scheduling arrangements.
The next morning, both Qin's mother and Lu's mother arrived.
The two, who were usually inseparable, started arguing at this point.
Since she's pregnant, she definitely can't live outside; she has to choose between the Qin family and the Lu family.
Seeing that neither of them was willing to back down, Lu Yanci said that there was no need to go to the Lu family or return to the Qin family. He would take good care of her and hire a nanny later.
As soon as he said that, the two mothers were on the same side, refuting him in unison, saying that he was usually too busy with work to take good care of her.
After discussing it, Lu's mother and Qin's mother finally came up with a plan: Lu's mother would stay at Qin's house this month and return to Lu's house next month.
They come on a rotating schedule each month.
Without giving Qin Yue a chance to refuse, they packed her things after discussing it.
After she became pregnant, Qin's mother stopped mentioning Qin Xu in front of her and never brought up the matter of her going to the hospital again.
Given Qin Xu's current condition, he has no way to leave the hospital and find her on his own. He sent a message to Qin Yue, but the message went unanswered.
The person was still clinging to life in the hospital, and had essentially disappeared from Qin Yue's life.
...
In early July, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was released.
It ignited the entire summer vacation.
Even without a large fan base, a drama can still become popular through its plot and characters. The teenagers don't necessarily have to be portrayed; just the right age teenagers standing there can exude youthful energy.
The theme song sung by Jiang Xiu topped several music charts, letting people know that his voice is not only good for love songs, but also for conveying a grand and majestic sense of martial arts. The paid video set a sales record.
The biggest beneficiaries of the show's immense popularity are undoubtedly the actors. The artists from the company who starred in the show gained a lot of fans, followed by numerous invitations from variety shows and film crews.
