Chapter 11 Manta Rose is being awkward; you know you're pregnant...

Lu Yanzhou showed no mercy after hitting Lin Lin, forcefully throwing her to the ground.

Mr. Lu?

Why is President Lu here?

The director had met Lu Yanzhou before, but he didn't expect that President Lu cared so much about Lin Lin.

No, if he cares about Lin Lin, why would he attack her?

While he was still puzzled, he saw Lu Yanzhou pick Xia Weiwei up in his arms.

Director & Producer: "!"

Director & Producer: "?"

Xia Weiwei patted Lu Yanzhou's chest and was about to get down when Lu Yanzhou lifted her up with force.

The moment her body was separated from Lu Yanzhou, she was so frightened that she grabbed Lu Yanzhou's arm tightly again.

"Will you listen now?" The man's displeased voice reached her ears.

Why is he still dissatisfied?!

Lin Lin bullies her because of his power, and she hasn't even complained yet.

Xia Weiwei's eyes also showed her dissatisfaction, and she still wanted to get down from Lu Yanzhou's arms. Lu Yanzhou's face darkened, and he turned around and carried her back to his car.

"Everyone's watching! Put me down right now!"

Who watched it?

The man's gaze swept over, and the director/producer tacitly looked away.

"The weather is really nice today, over forty degrees Celsius."

"Yes, it's over 40 degrees Celsius, which is quite comfortable."

Xia Weiwei: "..."

Is this comfortable? Won't you get sunburned to death?!

Before Xia Weiwei could even look away, the man had already carried her away.

In the car, just as Lu Yanzhou was about to speak, Xia Weiwei's phone rang first.

"Aci, how could you hang up on Ayue!" She only answered the phone after seeing that it was Gu Yousheng calling, and Gu Yousheng's first words made her frown.

"And you should be more polite to people outside. How could you get into a conflict with your colleagues?"

Why did she immediately question her? It was clearly Lin Lin who started the trouble for her.

It was at this moment that the man took her phone away.

"How dare you talk like that? Is Xia Weiwei the kind of person who picks fights with people?!"

"He doesn't even understand his own artists, yet he acts arrogantly and gives orders. I really don't know how he got to his current position."

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

Since Xia Weiwei became famous, Gu Yousheng has been able to hold his head high in the industry. Wherever he goes, he is surrounded by people who fawn over him. He hasn't been scolded like this in a long time, and the voice is that of a junior. He feels embarrassed. Gu Qianyue muttered to herself and then answered the phone.

"Who are you?"

"Lu Yanzhou".

Lu Yanzhou!

Gu Qianyue was overjoyed and was about to speak when the other end of the phone hung up.

"Who would talk to you like that on the phone?"

Xia Weiwei stared dumbfounded at Lu Yanzhou's series of maneuvers, feeling incredibly satisfied.

Lu Yanzhou said everything that she couldn't say.

"It's nothing, just someone from the company."

Sunlight streamed in through the window and fell on his shoulder, making the diamond in his earring sparkle. Xia Weiwei's breath caught in her throat, and she quickly lowered her head.

The man used his index and middle fingers to lift her chin.

"Xia Weiwei, have you forgotten your status as a top celebrity?"

The man is frivolous, but this frivolity doesn't make you feel uncomfortable.

"You have to use your status to pressure them, otherwise you've worked your way up to this position for nothing."

Xia Weiwei pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you asking me to bully them?"

Lu Yanzhou: "..."

Xia Weiwei said shyly in a soft voice, "We can't do that. We must be the successors of the Party and contribute to socialism."

"Lu Yanzhou, don't bully others either."

"Xia Weiwei, have you ever bullied anyone? Come on, slap me."

Lu Yanzhou released Xia Weiwei's chin, then knelt down in front of her, pressing his left cheek directly against hers.

"Come on!" the man said excitedly. Xia Weiwei didn't understand, so she reached out her small hand and gently placed it on the man's cheek.

It was so light, like a feather brushing against his cheek, that Lu Yanzhou's heart softened.

The next second, Lu Yanzhou lunged forward, heading straight for Xia Weiwei.

Suddenly, a ferocious beast extended its sharp claws. Xia Weiwei was so frightened that she immediately slapped Lu Yanzhou across the face. The crisp sound of the slap echoed inside the car and also made the people outside the car shudder.

Xiaoya and Zhang Quan stared at each other, wondering who had hit whom.

Although she disapproved of Lu Yanzhou's spoiled and arrogant behavior and the trouble he caused her after getting out of bed, she never considered slapping him in the face.

Lu Yanzhou provided excellent service in bed, and she enjoyed it very much.

"Are you alright?" Xia Weiwei lunged forward, her calf bumping into the man's crotch. Her body went out of control and she fell into his arms. The man leaned back, his left cheek clearly marked with five finger marks, and he wrapped one arm around the girl's slender waist.

"Tsk, do you really want me to be childless?"

The man's rude words echoed in her ears. Xia Weiwei realized what she had just touched. She quickly tried to back away, but it was too late. The man pressed her waist with his arm and pulled her into his arms.

"Xia Weiwei, do you understand? Next time you're unhappy, just hit them like that. Don't waste your breath talking to them."

The man's forehead touched hers, and their eyes met deeply.

He was teaching her how to vent her anger.

When Xia Weiwei looked away, her gaze swept across the man's left cheek.

She hummed in agreement: "Put me back in. The baby in my belly can't stand this position."

Xia Weiwei was positioned right between his legs, her buttocks resting on his crotch.

Before Lu Yanzhou could get a good look at their positions, little Lu Yanzhou woke up first.

"Stop being so awkward. You know you have a baby in your belly, yet you still keep twisting and turning."

The man's voice was slightly cold. He tightened his arms around her, pressing her against his chest, but then, thinking of his child, he loosened his grip a little.

Where did she twist...?

Xia Weiwei raised her head in rebuttal, but when she met the lust in the man's peach blossom eyes, she swallowed her words back.

Actually, she wasn't twisting; she couldn't help herself.

She loved Lu Yanzhou's body so much—strong, tall, and powerful. He looked slender and refined, but when he took off his clothes, it felt incredibly good. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become addicted after their first time.

After a few minutes of rest, Lu Yanzhou picked her up and placed her on the sofa.

"Why did you come to the capital?" There was still an awkward silence in the air. Xia Weiwei tried to ignore his left cheek, but she couldn't, so she simply stopped looking at him.

“If I hadn’t come, I was afraid someone would have starved my daughter to death.”

No, she will still eat normally.

"I'm also afraid they won't come; if they do, it will mean the death of both mother and child."

Is his mouth a controlled weapon? It can send someone away if it's used as an exit.

"But there's nothing I can do about it, since my daughter chose a fairy to be her mother."

“She’s my daughter. Don’t keep calling her your daughter.” Xia Weiwei finally realized something was wrong and emphasized.

"But didn't you take precautions back then?"

Whenever they did that, she was always very obedient and compliant, and he couldn't help but fall for her.

Lu Yanzhou raised an eyebrow: "Of course, it's because I'm exceptionally talented."

After learning she was pregnant, Xia Weiwei repeatedly recalled the events. She remembered the solid "duang" sound of Lu Yanzhou packing the bag and throwing it into the trash can, and she also remembered that she had put it on him herself.

Perhaps this baby was destined to come.

"Be more discreet next time. We agreed to keep our marriage a secret. How am I supposed to explain this to the director and producer?"

Xia Weiwei was dissatisfied, and even her gaze towards Lu Yanzhou was filled with impatience.

Well, he got annoyed with him again, and Lu Yanzhou started putting on airs like a rich young master.

"Don't worry, I'm willing to admit what I've done."

"Is this something to admit?!"

Xia Weiwei panicked!

"Did I say I admitted to our relationship?" Lu Yanzhou rolled his eyes at her. "I admit that I just accidentally hugged you out of kindness. Don't worry, it won't be exposed. I will talk to the director and producer myself."

Pshaw, all they do is pat themselves on the back.

Xia Weiwei was too lazy to argue with him.

Xia Weiwei had another filming scheduled for the afternoon, so Xiaoya mustered up her courage, knocked on the car door, and took her away.

Before leaving, she thought of Lin Lin: "You promised me that during our marriage you wouldn't have any unwanted romantic advances, and you'd deal with them yourself."

Lu Yanzhou looked puzzled, while Xia Weiwei sneered, "They've had too many scandalous girlfriends, they probably don't even remember this one."

Lu Yanzhou got out of the car right after him and watched Xia Weiwei walk away. Zhang Quan saw the clear finger marks on his face and couldn't bear to look at them, so he looked away.

"Go and investigate that woman."

Zhang Quan knew who Lu Yanzhou was talking about; there was no need to investigate.

He knew Lu Yanzhou; those women were just fleeting clouds to him, never even worth his attention.

"It was Lin Lin, whom you specially arranged to join the film crew."

Lu Yanzhou frowned, unable to recall, but...

Zhang Quan frowned as he watched Lu Yanzhou smile.

What is he laughing at right now?

My wife is jealous.

Zhang Quan: "?"

"Did you see the slap mark on my face?"

Zhang Quan nodded.

"My wife hit me."

"My wife is such a gentle and kind girl, yet she hit me. Hitting someone is a sign of affection, and she only hits me, you understand!"

"This is favoritism towards me!"

Zhang Quan: "..."

He didn't understand; he thought his boss should see a doctor—he was suffering from severe, late-stage, love-struck neurosis.

...

When Xia Weiwei returned to the film set, everyone acted as if nothing had happened.

Just as Xia Weiwei was about to sit in the feng shui-unfavorable spot that Lin Lin had been avoiding for the past few days, Lin Lin preemptively sat in that spot.

"Of course I should sit in the bad feng shui spot. How could I let Teacher Xia sit there?"

Xia Weiwei had gotten used to sitting there these past few days and didn't offer her her seat, but Lin Lin insisted that she sit back in her place.

For the rest of the afternoon, Lin Lin stopped causing her trouble and even cooperated fully when reading the script.

As the day drew to a close, Xia Weiwei realized that Lu Yanzhou must have been concerned about the baby in her belly and had warned Lin Lin. This was what it felt like to have a powerful backer.

It's quite comfortable.

While Xia Weiwei was reading the script aloud, a complete copy of the script was also delivered to Lu Yanzhou.

In the evening, Xia Weiwei tried her best to eat dinner, while Lu Yanzhou sat next to her, watching her only speak once every ten minutes.

"Is there poison in this food?" Lu Yanzhou couldn't bear to look any longer and asked.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Xia Weiwei asked back.

Lu Yanzhou looked at the tomato and beef brisket in front of her, picked up a soup spoon and took a bite. It was fresh and delicious, no wonder it was made by a private chef.

Lu Yanzhou ate another spoonful, and after confirming that there was no problem, he scooped up another spoonful, which contained a piece of beef, and held it to Xia Weiwei's mouth.

Xia Weiwei stepped back, glancing down, and when she saw the piece of beef, she stepped back even further.

Forget about eating, it's already a miracle that people can even sit here.

The man, at his wit's end, sighed and said, "Tell me, what will it take for you to eat?"

"How about I buy you a limited edition bag after we eat?"

The girl remained unmoved, her gaze laboriously drifting elsewhere.

"Just eat one more bite, and you can choose any diamond ring, cosmetics, lipstick, or clothes you want."

Xia Weiwei thought of the wedding ring he had given her.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Lu Yanzhou wanted to pry open her mouth and force-feed her.

Xia Weiwei could tell that the man's patience was running out: "Aren't you going back to Hong Kong?"

They even try to force people to leave if they don't eat.

He really married a good wife.

Lu Yanzhou didn't speak. Xia Weiwei glanced at the time; it was eight o'clock in the evening. She should still have time to go now. She got up, but the man called her back.

Where are you going?

"I want to eat the tomato stewed beef brisket from that restaurant."

Which one?

Xia Weiwei had her back to Lu Yanzhou and couldn't see his expression, but she knew he was very displeased: "It's the restaurant we ate at together."

Xia Weiwei was afraid that Lu Yanzhou wouldn't remember, so she went into more detail and said it was the restaurant where they ate during their second meeting with the director, and Gu Qianyue was also there.

Lu Yanzhou remembered, got up, and the chair moved backward with a dragging sound.

"Only that one restaurant?"

Xia Weiwei also felt that she was being a nuisance, but she suddenly wanted to eat it, so there was nothing she could do.

Xia Weiwei nodded.

"Wait, I'll buy it for you."

The man walked quickly, and when Xia Weiwei looked over, only Lu Yanzhou's shadow remained at the doorway.

Xia Weiwei and Xiaoya looked at each other, both with blank expressions.

Xia Weiwei sat back down in her chair and checked the distance on Gaode Maps: half an hour by car from the hotel to the restaurant, and an hour round trip.

In fact, Lu Yanzhou bought it back forty minutes later. As soon as the sour smell of tomato and beef brisket wafted out, Xia Weiwei's appetite was instantly whetted.

Lu Yanzhou and Xiaoya exchanged a glance, and Xiaoya, with her keen sense, left the room. When Xia Weiwei finished eating, although she didn't finish the beef brisket, she still ate a bowl of rice and half a plate of beef brisket, which was unprecedented for her.

Why are you back so soon?

The man sat in the chair next to her. When she asked him a question, there was still soup on his lips. Lu Yanzhou shrugged arrogantly.

"Who am I? How could I possibly make you wait for an hour?"

As he spoke, he took a tissue and wiped the soup from the girl's mouth before throwing the tissue into the trash can.

The two looked at each other, both realizing something. Xia Weiwei turned her head away first, saying that she could wipe it herself from now on.

"You're my wife, the mother of my daughter, what's wrong with me wiping you?"

That's not the case.

She was only open with him in bed; once they were out of bed, they were complete strangers. That's why they were called friends with benefits.

Xia Weiwei wanted to emphasize that their marriage was only a contractual agreement, but when she heard the man mutter "sour for a boy, spicy for a girl," her expression changed drastically.

don't want!

It's a baby girl!

Lu Yanzhou looked at Xia Weiwei again, who was already glaring angrily.

He thought about it again and realized which words he had said that offended her.

"You really want a baby girl that badly?"

Xia Weiwei glared at him fiercely.

“It’s okay, if it’s really a boy, we’ll have another one.”

Xia Weiwei rolled her eyes at his words; he really did treat them like a couple.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yanzhou wanted to tease her even more, but when he thought about what he was going to say, his tone became serious and his face also darkened.

"Now that you've eaten, it's time to talk about the baby's development."

Xia Weiwei frowned, instinctively sensing something was wrong.

"Xia Weiwei, I've seen this show. There are a few action scenes involving climbing ladders. For the sake of the baby, please don't take this role. From now until you give birth, focus on your pregnancy and don't accept any commercial activities."

Xia Weiwei's eyes blazed with fury as she stared directly at Lu Yanzhou: "No!"

Xia Weiwei was breathing rapidly, and Lu Yanzhou's brows were furrowed.

The ladder-climbing action scene that Lu Yanzhou mentioned was simply because, after the economy opened up, the female lead in the TV series was growing vegetables in her yard and had to climb a ladder.

Xia Weiwei had calculated that she only climbed the ladder twice, and the height was less than one meter. Besides, she was less than three months pregnant at the time, and her belly wasn't showing yet. She wasn't that delicate.

Xia Weiwei didn't want to argue with Lu Yanzhou, so she pursed her lips, softening her sharp edge.

“I will be extra careful when climbing stairs, so please don’t make a big deal out of it.”

Making a mountain out of a molehill?

“Once you start filming, you either work through the night or have to deal with commercial shoots. Xia Weiwei, do you know how reckless you are when you work? What if you have a miscarriage?”

"Who will I turn to for my baby's life then?"

"Take advantage of this pregnancy to rest and recuperate for a while."

Lu Yanzhou didn't give her a chance to speak, and unilaterally decided on Xia Weiwei's career plan for the next ten months with just a few words.

“I will talk to the director and ask him to choose a new female lead. You don’t need to worry about breach of contract. I will pay you in full for any breach of contract.”

"Can't!"

Xia Weiwei's restrained aura resurfaced.

“Lu Yanzhou, our marriage agreement does not stipulate that I must stay at home to prepare for childbirth. This is my profession, something I will dedicate my life to. If you want me to retire now and come back in a year, then I'm sorry, I will not have the baby.”

A note from the author:

----------------------

As soon as Mr. Lu set off, he told the restaurant staff: My wife wants to eat your tomato beef brisket!

He was halfway there when the restaurant staff quickly brought him over.

Time is saved.

It still has to be President Lu!
