The Third Gender continued to be broadcast, an episode a week.
Tang Xiao continued to run between the filming set and home.
After Xiao Lin was pregnant, the engagement banquet became a wedding reception.
Hearing that the first trimester was particularly dangerous, Chief Ning completely babied Xiao Lin.
This made Xiao Linâs guts grow even bigger, when she was bored, she ran over to roast Tang Xiao.
âTang Xiao, Iâm bored. Sing me a song, sing me The Third Genderâs theme song.â
âGo away, play by yourself to the side. Iâm busy here.â Tang Xiao didnât even turn around to look at her.
She suddenly thought of something and put down on her pen. âWhy did Su Bai suddenly decide to go study in America?â
Xiao Lin became silent. âI donât know.â
âJust tell me straightforwardly. Otherwise, if I decide to investigate, Iâll be able to find it out like that too. Itâs just a waste of time.â Tang Xiao pa.s.sed her a snack.
Xiao Lin looked at her before seeing that Tang Xiaoâs expression was serious.
She sighed, âOriginally, Chief Ning wanted to hide it from you. But that thing with sister Ming, Su Bai actually played a part in it. She manipulated a few popular social media user accounts, leaked some things to the media. So thatâs why the tide turned against you so quickly and so harshly. Afterwards, I heard it was the Mu family who stuck their foot in and made sister Ming loosen her mouth. Wanyu Mediaâs PR team did damage control and then settled things down.â
Tang Xiao calmly âohâd.
She then used her pen to continue making notes on her script. âWhen did Chief Ning say she could come back?â
Xiao Lin shook her head, âProbably after you and Mu Cheng settle down. Chief Ning said that you two were troublesome enough. With Su Bai making more trouble, it was even more frustrating for him.â
Tang Xiao nodded approvingly.
âArenât you a bit shocked?â
â... Whatâs there to be shocked about?â
She wasnât stupid. When sister Ming exposed that blind item and there was only Su Bai and Sun Yueyue left, as long as Su Bai didnât do anything overly offensive, Wanyu Mediaâs PR team wouldâve saved her too.
But for them to not do anything and just watch, they just let her fend for herself.
Su Bai definitely had to have done something to offend someone, to make Chief Ning let rumours swirl around her.
Furthermore, kicking Su Bai to go study in America, she could nearly guess why already.
âTang Xiao, sometimes I donât think I understand you that well.â Xiao Lin stared at her.
âEn, people who tend to understand me, nearly all of them want to chop me to death.â
Xiao Lin: âŚâŚ
âRight, donât tell Chief Ning that I know. Otherwise, when I kill you to keep you silent, itâll be one life and two bodies.â Tang Xiao rubbed Xiao Linâs stomach.
âAye, are you eating too much or is your baby growing bigger again. Why does it feel like your stomachâs gotten bigger?â
Xiao Lin: âŚ. Actually, even people who donât understand you, want to chop you to death too.
âXiao Lin, actually, thereâs something thatâs been on my chest but I canât help but say it.â Tang Xiao put down her pen.
She looked at Xiao Lin seriously.
Xiao Lin was a bit scared by the sudden change in atmosphere.
Her mind quickly spun, thinking of possible scenarios.
The most frightening thing she could think of was, âChief Ning actually doesnât like youâ.
That really would be the most melodramatic situation.
âAfter I hear this, will I feel upset?â
