“Director Fu gave this gift as a thank you to Qi Qi.” Yan Qingchi said.
“Thanking Qi Qi?”
“Well, wasn’t it Yan Yan’s birthday a while ago. Qi Qi drew a picture for him and bought him a stuffed teddy bear. Director Fu was also there on Yan Yan’s birthday, so Qi Qi told Director Fu that he hoped she can buy more toys for Yan Yan. So, in order to thank Qi Qi, Director Fu also bought one for Qi Qi when she bought things for Yan Yan.”
After Yan Qingchi finished speaking, he smiled unconsciously, “These children. It’s quite interesting. They are young but worry a lot. Yan Yan chatted with me late at night, and he was talking about Qi Qi. Then Qi Qi secretly went to find Director Fu, hoping that she could buy more toys for Yan Yan.” He looked at Jiang Mochen, “It’s really cute.”
“Children are cute as long as they are well taught. But our family mainly owes it all to you. When I first adopted Qi Qi, I was always worried that I wouldn’t be able to teach him, and I was worried that he would not be happy here. Later, when you came, Qi Qi became a lot livelier and his personality became much more cheerful,” Jiang Mochen said with emotion.
“You can’t say that. If you took him out of the orphanage early, it is the greatest happiness for him. Not every child in the orphanage can have a family. Those who have a family are all happy.” Yan Qingchi said sincerely.
Jiang Mochen felt that there was a bit of sadness in his words, so he pinched his face and said, “Let’s go, it’s time for us to go home.”
Yan Qingchi nodded, “Yes.”
Soon, time passed slowly and June arrived amid rising temperatures, and Yan Qingchi’s belly had finally grown visibly bigger this month.
Yan Qingchi looked at his belly and felt that he was a little strange. He took a look in front of the mirror and asked Jiang Mochen, “Do I look like a fat middle-aged man with a beer belly now?”
Jiang Mochen was packing his luggage. The film “Moving Flowers and Dreams” that he starred in previously was shortlisted for the Golden Deer Award abroad. He needed to attend the award ceremony. As he was packing up, he heard Yan Qingchi’s words, and Jiang Mochen looked up at him helplessly.
“Is there such a handsome middle-aged uncle as you?”
Yan Qingchi touched his belly, “Although I am a few years younger than you, I have already felt the middle-aged crisis early. From now on, when you enter middle age, I can teach you how to relieve stress.”
Jiang Mochen was simply defeated by his brain circuit. “You should just sit down and be obedient, Uncle Yan.”
“Can you win the prize this time?” Yan Qingchi asked, “How long will you be there?”
“It won’t be long, don’t worry. As for whether to win the prize or not…” Jiang Mochen looked at him, “That’s not something I can decide.”
“Then if you win the prize, when you come back, how do you want to celebrate?”
Jiang Mochen thought for a moment, “How about we have a meal together as a family?”
“Don’t we eat together every day? What kind of celebration is this?”
“But I don’t seem to have anything else I want. How do you want to celebrate?” Jiang Mochen asked him.
Yan Qingchi thought for a while, “How about calling your friends and having a meal together?”
Jiang Mochen chuckled, “Is your way of celebrating better than mine?”
No, but there was really nothing that required celebration. The two of them were now in a stable relationship. Jiang Mochen had a successful career. Although his career was temporarily stalled, it still had a bright future. For a while, it seemed that he couldn’t find any way to celebrate.
Yan Qingchi thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, “If you win the prize, we will drive when you come back!”
When Jiang Mochen heard this, he was blocked by this sentence for a moment, then Yan Qingchi squinted his eyes at him and asked him, “Do you want to?”
“Is this a question of whether I want to or not? It’s just a question of whether you can, baby. You’d better ask the doctor first, okay?”
“Well, if you win the award, in the future, we can drive steadily. If you don’t win the award, it will be up to me whether you drive in June or how many times you drive. You are not allowed to refute.”
“Isn’t it already miserable if I didn’t win the award? If you continue to do this, won’t your conscience hurt?”
Yan Qingchi shook his head, “Little handsome guys like us have no conscience.”
Jiang Mochen couldn’t do anything to him. He never expected that the end of the matter would be like this. This trend made him dumbfounded for a while, but Yan Qingchi was still talking boldly next to him, “You have to have confidence in yourself. If you win the award this time, you will go from a new best actor to a two-time best actor. How nice.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Yan Qingchi smiled.
Jiang Mochen left at noon the next day. He looked at Yan Qingchi’s belly and was still a little worried. After hearing him give a lot of instructions, Yan Qingchi nodded, looking very obedient.
“You kept nodding, did you really listen?” Jiang Mochen was very doubtful.
“Don’t worry, my mother will come and live with me as soon as you leave. She will only be stricter than you, so don’t worry.”
Hearing this, Jiang Mochen thought the same thing. So, he hugged Yan Qingchi and said, “Take good care of yourself.”
“You too.”
“Then I’m leaving.”
“Bye.” Yan Qingchi watched him walk into the elevator, closed the door, and returned to the room.
His belly was now a bit obvious, and it was not suitable for him to go out anymore, otherwise he would always feel a little strange, so the task of picking up and delivering Qi Qi was left to the parents of the two families.
Qi Qi was a little puzzled that his father was replaced with grandma to pick him up. So, he asked Yan Qingchi, “Dad, why didn’t you come to pick me up?”
Yan Qingchi touched his head and replied, “Because grandma really wants to pick you up. You see, Qi Qi, Dad, and Father, the three of us stay together. However Grandma also likes Qi Qi, but grandma can’t see Qi Qi everyday, so she really wants to pick you up every day. Qi Qi, would you like to stay with Grandma for a little longer?”
Qi Qi felt a little embarrassed when he heard what he said. He felt that his grandma missed him so much, but he didn’t seem to miss her in the same way. So, he felt a little shy and kept his head down. Then he nodded and whispered, “From now on, Qi Qi will go to school and come home with grandma.”
“Yeah.”
Then Qi Qi hugged his arm and acted coquettishly, “Then daddy, don’t tell grandma what Qi Qi just asked you.”
“Yes.” Yan Qingchi said softly.
Qi Qi was very happy, “I’m going to help grandma cook.”
“Go.” Yan Qingchi watched him run out happily, and couldn’t help but sigh, the child was really easy to coax.
Wei Lan finished working on his movie and finally had some free time, only to realize that Yan Qingchi had been silent for half a year. His fans had criticized Nancheng several times on Weibo, and even made a picture asking Nancheng three questions.
They first asked Nancheng why they did not allow Yan Qingchi to receive activities during his rising period.
The second question they asked why Nancheng didn’t treat Yan Qingchi kindly.
The third question was whether Nancheng planned to hide Yan Qingchi in the snow.
The reply given by Nancheng was very official: Yan Qingchi is unwell and needs to recuperate, so he is currently recuperating.
Fans of Yan Qingchi were very dissatisfied with this reply and continued to tear the company apart, asking how it was that he was fine a year ago but became unwell after the new year. Where did the discomfort occur and what caused this discomfort? Please explain clearly!
However, Guan Mei herself didn’t know how to explain clearly to them, so she could only send a Weibo message using Yan Qingchi’s account to try to appease the fans’ anger. But the anger of fans could never be so easily appeased, especially when fans of other artists in the same period also added insult to injury. Netizens who didn’t know the truth all said in the comments that they saw him rising, saw him entertaining guests, and saw his building collapse. Some netizens posted on the forum and broke the news, saying that Yan Qingchi had offended Nancheng’s senior management, so he was hidden.
Although these messy rumor posts were deleted soon after, Yan Qingchi never showed up, which still caused panic among fans, so much so that Oats sisters would tear up Nancheng and Guan Mei every now and then.
Wei Lan himself couldn’t help but wonder that it seemed that he had indeed not seen Yan Qingchi since the New Year. He had refused to meet him even when he asked him out several times. Then he went to film again later and didn’t make an appointment with Yan Qingchi again. This time he could meet up with Yan Qingchi while taking advantage of the break.
So Wei Lan called Yan Qingchi, “Do you have time? I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”
Yan Qingchi looked at his stomach and thought that he had time, but it was impossible to see him.
“No.”
“Then tomorrow?”
“Not tomorrow either.”
“The day after tomorrow?”
“Not the day after tomorrow either.”
Now Wei Lan was upset, “Even if you are the emperor with everything to do, if I make an appointment three days in advance, why can’t you still come? No.”
“It’s really not possible.”
“Why not? Jiang Mochen locked you up and doesn’t let you go out?”
“Of course not.”
“Then tell me why?”
“I’m not feeling well.”
“You? Are you feeling unwell?” Wei Lan felt that this was simply unscientific. The last time he saw Yan Qingchi, Yan Qingchi was still alive and kicking. “Okay, I’ll go see you. Are you at home or in the hospital?”
Yan Qingchi: “…”
“Speak, what do you want? Fruit basket? Milk? Or something? I usually see patients empty-handed. I don’t know what to buy for you, just ask for what you want.”
“I don’t want anything!” I want you not to come!!
“What I just said is nonsense. In fact, there is nothing wrong with my health. You don’t need to come see me.” Yan Qingchi struggled desperately.
Wei Lan snorted, “You’re still playing tricks on me. Are you worthy of me helping you check this and that? You said you owed me a favor, and this is how you repay me!”
“No, Wei Lan, I really have something to do and I can’t see you.”
“You’ve done something shameful that you still can’t see me. If you’re not in the hospital, you must be at home, right? Just wait, I’ll go see you right away. Let’s see what the hell you are doing!”
After Wei Lan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Yan Qingchi called him again, but no one answered. Yan Qingchi felt helpless for a while. Whether he could stop him or not would depend on Wei Lan’s mental endurance.
He looked at his belly and wondered if Wei Lan would believe him if he said it was a beer belly?
Wei Lan arrived very quickly. Yan Qingchi guessed that he hung up the phone and drove over directly. He asked the security guard to swipe the elevator card for Wei Lan, opened the door himself, and waited for the arrival of this little ancestor.
As soon as Wei Lan got out of the elevator, he saw the door of Yan Qingchi’s house open. He opened the door and saw Yan Qingchi sitting on the sofa.
“There are disposable slippers and shoe covers in the shoe cabinet. You can take them yourself.”
Wei Lan didn’t bother to change shoes, so he just put on the shoe covers and walked in. “Aren’t you a sick person? I see your face is even ruddier than mine.”
