CH 125

Luan Fei Yun's first reaction was: Zang Xi Tong, that wicked woman!



Then he immediately thought: The power of pillow talk is truly powerful, how scary.



"Qing Xiao, listen to me, Zang Xi Tong, she… …"



Luan Qing Xiao said, "Cousin, what is the relationship between that Zang Xi Tong and you?"



Luan Fei Yun gulped, "Th-there’s no relationship. Zang Xi Tong is just a small plaything. If you think her apologizing is not enough, how about I blacklist her?"



"Cousin, just please recap what happened first. Then, we’ll consider the other things." Nie Zhen'er’s tone when she “tattled” to her was so placid that Luan Qing Xiao wasn’t sure what kind of grievances she faced.



"Zhen'er didn't tell you?" Luan Fei Yun asked in surprise.



Luan Qing Xiao curled her fingers and rapped on the table, the crisp sound made Luan Fei Yun flustered.



"I asked Zhen'er how she was doing on the set. Seeing she didn't look so good, I probed a little more. Zhen'er only said that she had a small conflict with someone yesterday morning and it was already resolved. I'm afraid Zhen'er had been wronged, so when learning Cousin was also on the set at the time, I decided to ask you."



Luan Fei Yun originally thought it was Nie Zhen'er who complained to Luan Qing Xiao, and Luan Qing Xiao was here to settle the account with him. He didn't expect Nie Zhen'er would tell Luan Qing Xiao that the matter was settled and her cousin to still be so worried.



Luan Fei Yun couldn't help being shocked at Nie Zhen'er's influence on Luan Qing Xiao as well as the importance Luan Qing Xiao attached to Nie Zhen'er.



Nie Zhen'er is different from Zang Xi Tong. Zang Xi Tong is just one of his kept playthings, while Nie Zhen'er is someone Luan Qing Xiao placed in her heart.



Luan Fei Yun had to be cautious.



"The matter was like this. At that time, Zhen'er and Zang Xi Tong were in a scene together. Zhen'er was holding a bucket of water and was about to pour it outside, but she accidentally staggered and splashed the water on Zang Xi Tong. I was also on the set. Zang Xi Tong probably had something against Zhen'er, so she immediately had her assistant prepare a bucket of water with ice and poured it on Nie Zhen'er in front of everyone in the set. Later, the director showed me the footage from the camera, Nie Zhen'er was actually tripped by Zang Xi Tong's foot, making her unable to maintain her hold on the bucket… …"



"Oh, then this matter really was Zang Xi Tong's fault. Of course, Cousin is also at fault. It's all because Cousin usually spoils her so much that she forgot her identity."



Although in the last sentence, Luan Fei Yun said he was wrong, his underlying meaning was that Zang Xi Tong only did this kind of thing after his pampering and had nothing to do with him.



"Cousin, since Zang Xi Tong is your woman, you can handle it yourself. No need to tell me the results." Luan Qing Xiao nodded to Luan Fei Yun as she turned to leave.



Luan Fei Yun quickly grabbed her, "Qing Xiao, that Hong Ye Ju Building’s project is about to start recently, I don't know if ..."



"Oh, unfortunately, Cousin is too late. I have just handed the project of Hong Ye Feng Ju to Cousin Ling Yue. Cousin Ling Yue majored in architecture, so she has a better understanding in this aspect."



Luan Fei Yun smiled with a stiff face, "Haha, giving it to Ling Yue is a good choice, haha."



F*ck! Luan Qing Xiao actually just handed that multi-billion project over to that b*tch Ling Yue!



"Cousin doesn't need to send me off." Luan Qing Xiao brushed away Luan Fei Yun's hand and opened the door.



Although she told Luan Fei Yun that he didn't need to tell her how he handled Zang Xi Tong, Nie Zhen'er called as soon as Zang Xi Tong's role was changed.



"Hello? Zhen’er."



Luan Qing Xiao held the phone to her ear and leaned back on the chair, asking softly, "Is there no filming at this time?"



Nie Zhen'er said, "Zang Xi Tong's female two role have been swapped out. The director is currently catching the new actress up on the movie. Later on, we’ll re-film all the previous shots of Zang Xi Tong."



"Who is Zang Xi Tong? Why was she replaced?" Luan Qing Xiao pretended to be puzzled.



Her exaggerated acting skills made Nie Zhen'er laugh, "Haha, Qing Xiao, don't be like that."



After Nie Zhen'er stopped laughing, she didn’t speak for a good ten seconds and Luan Qing Xiao could only hear her breathing.



"Qing Xiao, thank you." Nie Zhen'er exclaimed seriously.



Luan Qing Xiao smiled, "How do you want to thank me? I hope it won’t just be a 'thank you’."



"How do you want me to thank you?" Nie Zhen'er's voice was very soft, drilling into Luan Qing Xiao's ears through the phone.



"Marry me, be my wife, spend the rest of your life with me... … Zhen'er, I want you to thank me with the rest of your life, are you willing?"



As pounding heartbeats echoed in her ears, Luan Qing Xiao unconsciously sat up straight. Her fingers tightened slightly and her sweaty palms pressed against the cold phone case.



"Okay." Nie Zhen'er briskly answered happily.



Luan Qing Xiao blinked. She immediately stood up excitedly and walked to the window, "You agreed? Zhen'er, you’re really agreeing to marry me?"



"Next week is my birthday and I’ll turn the legal age for marriage. We can get our marriage certificate then." Nie Zhen'er even planned out the date for the certificate.



"What about the wedding? Would you like a Chinese style or Western style?" Luan Qing Xiao's mouth curled up with joy.



"Qing Xiao, I don't think we can hold the wedding for now."



"Why?" Luan Qing Xiao already had imagined their grand wedding as early as five years ago.



"I want to wait until I stand at the same height as you first before announcing our relationship to everyone. Can we hide our marriage for now?"



Although Luan Qing Xiao felt it was a pity, this would be more beneficial to Nie Zhen'er's acting career. She softly replied, "Alright."



A week later, Nie Zhen'er asked the director for a half day off and queued up with Luan Qing Xiao to get their marriage certificate.



"Can we not live apart after marrying?" Luan Qing Xiao asked while holding the two’s marriage certificates in the car.



Nie Zhen'er responded,"I haven't told my manager… …"



It seems that was impossible.



Luan Qing Xiao sighed in disappointment.



Nie Zhen'er hugged her and kissed her on the cheeks, "After filming this movie, I’ll speak to my manager about living alone, OK?"



"You said it." Luan Qing Xiao pulled Nie Zhen'er in by her neck and contained Nie Zhen'er's answer in her mouth.



##



Wen Mu got off the plane, looking at the bustling “familiar people” around him, and couldn't help taking a deep breath.



Five years later, he finally returned.



As the male lead, Wen Mu can keep track of Nie Zhen'er's activities at any time.



When and where Nie Zhen'er was along with her current occupation are all clearly displayed on his panel.



After he went abroad five years ago, Nie Zhen'er's career changed from a student to a student and idol trainee.



Last month, Nie Zhen'er’s profession became an actress.



Wen Mu knew that his opportunity had arrived.



He has just finished his studies and is about to return to China, while his grandfather, Shui Jin, is the owner of the well-known Aqua Entertainment in the entertainment industry. When the time comes, he can arrange for him to be in the entertainment circle. As long as he and Nie Zhen'er pose as a loving couple in a few movies, he will definitely capture Zhen'er's heart.



With these calculations, he directly headed over to Shui Mansion to find Shui Jin.



"Grandpa, my dad is strong and physically fit. He doesn't need my help in his company for the time being. While abroad, I became extremely interested in acting. Can you arrange something for me?" Wen Mu stood behind Shui Jin and kneaded his shoulders.



Shui Jin squinted his eyes with enjoyment. Hearing his words, he opened his eyes slightly and turned his head to give Wen Mu a glance, "Grandpa doesn’t dare to arrange for you to enter the entertainment circle. Convince your dad first, then we can talk about it. Careful that he’ll scold you for not being proper."



"Grandpa, don't worry about my dad. What I want to do is my freedom. My dad only has me, this one son. Even if I am not proper in his eyes and even if he looks down on me, Wen Real Estate can only be mine in the end," Wen Mu stated nonchalantly.



"Your parents didn't tell you?" Shui Jin looked back in surprise.



"Grandpa, what did my parents not tell me?" Wen Mu lowered his head and approached Shui Jin questioningly.



After he went abroad, except for his parents' birthdays and some anniversaries, he barely contacted his family.



Shui Jin patted Wen Mu's hand and sighed, "The year you went abroad, your mother suddenly found out she was pregnant. The next year she gave birth to a younger brother for you, named Wen Cheng; Cheng like the character, inherit. Your dad loves him to death and doesn’t even need your mother to watch him. Instead, he personally brings him to the company every day."



"Your mother probably thought her having a second child at such an old age was embarrassing that she didn't tell you."



Wen Mu's mind instantly went blank.



"Grandpa, I need to make a trip home first to... … to see my younger brother." Wen Mu left the Shui Family Mansion in a muddled manner.



On the way, Wen Mu had a lot of thoughts racing through his mind. His younger brother was Wen Cheng, Cheng like inherit, Wen Qi's intentions were obvious.



He’s going to give up his eldest son and pass on the company to Wen Cheng!



Without his identity as the heir, how could he pursue Nie Zhen'er?



From his first glance at Nie Zhen'er, he could tell that she was an ambitious girl. Without an impressive family background, it’s near impossible to conquer her.



Back at Wen Villa, Wen Mu stood at the door and rang the doorbell.



Just now, he attempted to use his fingerprint to open the door, but the fingerprint lock actually wouldn’t open.



Soon someone came to open the door, it was a strange middle-aged woman.



When the woman saw Wen Mu, she froze for a moment before patting her head, "You must be Wen Mu. Madam told me that you were coming home today. Come in, come in!"



Wen Mu entered the villa and found that the living room had changed drastically.



The floor was covered with soft carpets and every corner of the furniture was carefully covered with sponges. The tea set on the coffee table disappeared and was replaced with various dinosaur models.



Wen Mu took in everything and had to take a deep breath to not lose his temper.



After the woman welcomed him, she introduced herself, "My name is Peng Ran, and you can call me Auntie Peng. Originally, I was specially invited by Sir and Madam as a maternity nanny to take care of Cheng Cheng. Because of my great care of Cheng Cheng, Madam continued to hire after her month of postnatal care. I have already worked at the Wen family for four years."



"Thanks to Madam who showed me your picture before going to the beauty salon. You looked the same as you were five years ago. I have lived for quite some time and I have never seen a handsomer boy than you, Wen Mu. You are so much more handsome than those stars on TV."



Auntie Peng's praise after praise improved Wen Mu's mood quite a bit. When Auntie Peng mentioned stars, his relaxed face went dark again.



Because of Wen Cheng's existence, it was impossible for him to be a star. The most important thing now is to tell Wen Qi that he wants to enter the company.



"Auntie Peng, where’s my dad?"



Auntie Peng answered, "Sir went to the company early this morning."



After Auntie Peng finished answering Wen Mu’s question, she then sighed, “Sir really has it rough. Not only does he have to hold meetings and go on business trips, he also has to take care of Cheng Cheng. Madam even wants to share some of the burden for him, but Sir won’t let her no matter what. I’ve never seen a man who loves his wife that much. Madam really married the right person."



Wen Mu laughed sarcastically. Love his wife, the one he loved was obviously his little son.



His eldest son was raised by his wife and didn’t suit his wishes. Of course, he had to raise the younger son by himself.



"My mom went to the beauty salon? When will she be back?" Wen Mu interrupted Auntie Peng's flattery.



"Oh, Madam usually comes back around five o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, Sir and Cheng Cheng will also be back."



"En, I see. Auntie Peng, you can get back to work." Wen Mu glanced at the ladle in Auntie Peng's hand.



Suddenly, Auntie Peng realized, "That’s right, I was stewing chicken soup."



Auntie Peng hurriedly turned around to return to the kitchen and said to Wen Mu before leaving, "Cheng Cheng loves my chicken soup the most. You two brothers should have similar tastes. Knowing you came back, I specially cooked some more. Wen Mu, you‘re in luck tonight."



She rushed into the kitchen.



Wen Mu: "... …" "Cheng Cheng" and "Cheng Cheng”, all she could mention was “Cheng Cheng”. Isn't he just a five-year-old kid, just look at how much he’s regarded as a treasure by you all!



Carrying his luggage upstairs, Wen Mu planned to sleep and rest up. When he arrived outside his door and saw the big tree sticker on the door, Wen Mu suddenly had a bad premonition.



He pursed his lips and pushed open the door, suppressing the anger in his heart with all his will.



His bedroom, was actually turned into a children's playroom! Did Wen Qi and Shui Yan still have him, this son in their hearts? ! !



Walking to the stairs on the second floor with a cold face, Wen Mu shouted, "Auntie Peng! Auntie Peng! Auntie Peng!"



"Ai, coming, coming. Wen Mu, what is the matter?" Auntie Peng panickyly ran to the bottom of the stairs and asked.



"Where is my bedroom?" Wen Mu gritted his teeth as his eyes were flushed with anger.



"Your bedroom? I, I haven't been to the second floor, I’m not sure. Wen Mu, how about you open the doors one by one and take a look? I remembered Madam said that when they changed your room, the furnishings inside your room remained the same."



"You knew that my original room was turned into a children's playroom?"



Auntie Peng said, "I only overheard Madam mention something about it when I was about to leave for my hometown. My chicken soup is almost ready, I have to get back to the kitchen now. You can ask her about this matter when Madam comes back."



Once Auntie Peng left, Wen Mu bitterly smacked the stair railing, causing himself to wince in pain.



At the same time, when the last scene of "Starry Sky and Heart" came to an end, Nie Zhen'er pushed the evening party, and under Luan Qing Xiao's soft and hard soaking, he returned home and finally mentioned the move with his agent.



Nie Zhen’er’s agent, Cheng Tong, is in her thirties and appears to be a very gentle woman. However Nie Zhen’er heard from her company’s artists that Cheng Tong was super capable of snatching resources. Most of the resources of the film queen that she previously managed were snatched from others.



"Tong jie, my friend has an open apartment, can I rent it? The security in that community is extremely good. In the future when I become famous, the paparazzi will definitely not be able to sneak in and take pictures of me."



Cheng Tong: "... …"



She silently rubbed her eyes and then glanced at Nie Zhen'er, "You’re already worrying about your future after just finishing filming one TV series? The monthly rent for a well-secured community starts at fifty thousand, while your account only has twenty thousand."



"I still have the pay from《Starry Sky and Heart》. Moreover, my friend won't ask me for as much rent. Tong jie, please just let me."



"The salary for《Starry Sky and Heart》 is only 100 grand. After excluding the company’s share and taxes, there is only a little more than 30 thousand remaining. Even if your friend won’t request much rent, let’s say you pay 25K a month, you’re only going to live there for two months?"



"I know you want to have your own space, but this matter isn’t realistic for the current you yet."



Cheng Tong's gaze were like x-rays, "Zhen'er, tell Tong jie, did you start dating?"



Nie Zhen’er: "... …" I directly got married instead.



"No, Tong jie, I'm not dating anyone." Saying this wasn’t really a lie.



"You’re only nineteen years old, don't be fooled by those men in the entertainment industry who can only sweet talk."



"I know, Tong jie. I won't believe those men’s sweet talk. "She only believed in Luan Qing Xiao's sweet talk.



In order to prevent Cheng Tong from continuing her suspicion, Nie Zhen’er could only temporarily give up talking to her about moving out.



She returned to her room to send a text to Luan Qing Xiao.



Zhen'er: Qing Xiao, I can't convince Tong jie, what should I do? How about we wait a bit longer for our cohabitation?



Luan Qing Xiao immediately FaceTimed her.



Nie Zhen'er clicked the green sign and Luan Qing Xiao's face appeared on the screen in the next second.



"How did you tell her? Repeat it to me." Anything else can be slowed down, but their cohabitation can not be delayed at all.



Nie Zhen'er relayed to Luan Qing Xiao about the conversation between herself and Cheng Tong, "I really don't know how to convince her."



Luan Qing Xiao pondered for a moment, "Leave this to me, you don't need to mention it to Tong jie again."



Two days later, Cheng Tong received a call from her boss, saying that the company had arranged a better apartment for Nie Zhen'er and ordered Nie Zhen'er to move in as soon as possible.



Cheng Tong: "... …"
