Jiang Muye had a headache, âBut what about the movies that Iâm still in the middle of filming⌠donât tell me that I have to cancel them?â
Lei Ming muttered to himself for a moment before stating his analysis, âNot necessarily. ăLand Under Heavenăis a movie set in ancient times, so thereâll be many large scenes. Itâll take a longer period of time to finish filming the whole movie as well. I can negotiate with the director to have your scenes all pushed to the end, and weâll take responsibility for any possible losses within this period of time. Iâm sure Guo Qisheng will agree to this.â
Jiang Muye scratched his head in frustration, âIt looks like thatâs all we can do. Damn it, why does it seem like everythingâs going wrong lately? That collaboration with HN should have been finalised, so nothing could possibly have gone wrong with it. It even hailed while filming a kissing scene in the middle of summerâŚâ
The more he spoke, the more he started to feel that something wasnât right. Finally, Jiang Muye punched his mattress, âShit! Lu Tingxiao! Arenât you too shamelessâââ
âŚâŚ
In the Lu residence.
Seeing daddy bringing a drunk Auntie Xiao Xi home, Little Treasureâs expression was full of reproach and accusation.
Lu Tingxiao placed Ning Xi on the bed before he met his sonâs gaze and raised an eyebrow as he explained: âI wasnât the one who made her drink.â
Little Treasureâs face still held reproach and accusation.
Lu Tingxiao was helpless, âFine, it was still my fault that I didnât take proper care of her.â
Seeing daddyâs sincere attitude, Little Treasure finally rescinded his unhappy gaze. He trotted over to the bathroom, and within moments, he came out with a warm towel. He removed his shoes, climbed onto the bed in one movement, then carefully kneeled by Ning Xiâs side and wiped her face for her. When he was done with her face, he moved on to wipe her hands. Little Treasure looked extremely attentive and earnest.
Seeing his son acting like a filial child, while Lu Tingxiao was gratified, he also felt like sighing at the same time.
He had never been able to receive such treatment even as Little Treasureâs very own dad.
âOoh⌠my head hurtsâŚâ
The little bunâs heart ached when he heard Ning Xiâs groans of pain. He hurriedly leaned over and tried to blow away the pain from Ning Xiâs head.
A glint flashed through Lu Tingxiaoâs eyes. He looked at his son and said, âThis is part of your Auntie Xiao Xiâs work, I canât interfere with it. However, if itâs you, you could try to persuade her to try her best to drink less from now on. She listens to you.â
The little bun felt rather pleased hearing that. With a serious expression on his face, he nodded, indicating that he was accepting this very important mission.
The next morning.
Upon waking up, Ning Xi saw the little bun leaning by her bedside, with a severe expression on his little face. He looked extremely unhappy.
Ning Xi hurriedly sat up, âUh, darling, what happened? Did something bad happen? Look at your expression! You look just like your dad!â
Saying so, she pinched his little face, finding it adorable.
The little bun quickly took out a writing pad from behind him, then started to flip through the pages one by one.
Ning Xi saw that the little bun had drawn a few educational comics. Using pictures and words, he had illustrated the harm that drinking alcohol did to the heart, blood, bones, stomach, pancreas and liver, etc. one by oneâŚ
After he had finished flipping through the pages, the little bun stared at her with a strict gaze, his meaning clear.
Ning Xi coughed lightly, âUh, that, darling⌠Actually, alcohol isnât as terrible as you might think. It can lower the levels of harmful cholesterol, raise your self-confidence, activate your brainâs power, and even manage your weightâŚâ
Holding up her fingers, Ning Xi started counting. Although she knew that the little bun was only concerned for her, she couldnât just promise the child something without being able to fulfill the promise. How could she avoid drinking in her industry?
Upon hearing this, the little bunâs black eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. With a turn of his head, he ran out of the room.
âHey, donât goâŚâ Ning Xi scratched her head awkwardly.
