“After all, we are the ones who talked about others behind their backs, and we are in the wrong. He just did nothing about it. Although he won’t care, he must be unhappy with us. We are all in the same circle, and he is so famous. It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Even if he is not a friend, he can’t be an enemy.”
Luo Chenghao naturally understood this principle. He thought for a few minutes and said, “Okay.”
“I’ll go with you, and I’ll apologize to him.”
“Forget it.” Luo Chenghao didn’t want to lose face and still let it be seen by others. “You didn’t say anything that he heard. I’ll go.”
“We are one, I…”
Luo Chenghao looked at him impatiently, “I said I’m going, so you stay here.”
Agent:…
So now, only Luo Chenghao appeared in front of Ling Qing.
“Ahem,” Luo Chenghao coughed and said unnaturally, “I was wrong about what happened that day. I shouldn’t have talked about you behind your back.”
Ling Qing was very calm about this, “Who hasn’t talked about other people behind their backs? As long as they don’t say one thing in front of them and another behind their backs, or they don’t maliciously spread rumors and slander, it’s not a big deal. Celebrities are just a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner. There are thousands or tens of thousands of people talking about me behind my back every day. How can I care about these?”
Luo Chenghao:…
Seeing that he looked a little embarrassed, Ling Qing changed his posture and sat a little straighter.
“You were indeed wrong about what happened that day, but the point of your mistake was not talking about others behind their backs, but that you were too nosy. Not only that, but you also imposed your own standards on others. You use this set of standards to demand greater things out of yourself and your agent, which is fine, but it’s not appropriate for you to demand it of me, right?”
“Why don’t you ask senior seniors like Teacher Wang to stay on the set all day long? Or other people? You only ask me. So if you say you are not targeting me, do you believe it yourself?”
Luo Chenghao said with a stiff face: “Teacher Wang and the others are old, and they are all veteran actors. And others don’t go out as much as you do.”
“That’s because you didn’t get it. Didn’t Director Zhou go out for business a few days ago? Why don’t you say Director Zhou is unprofessional?”
Luo Chenghao: …
“Besides, my acting skills are pretty good. It’s true that Teacher Wang and the others are veteran actors, but I’ve never failed to perform well when acting with Teacher Wang, right? Teacher Wang even praised me for being better than he was when he was younger.”
Luo Chenghao:…
Ling Qing said, “So, you were deliberately targeting me before, but it doesn’t matter, I don’t care. So I accept your apology, and I won’t say anything bad about you outside because of this incident, but you’d better revise your high standards, or divide them into levels. For those who have affected the filming of the crew and delayed the progress of the crew because of the outing announcement, you can say a few words, that’s fine; but for those who have no impact, aren’t you just looking for trouble by bothering them?”
“One-size-fits-all attitude is the most undesirable thing in any matter.”
Luo Chenghao:…
“Okay.” He said helplessly. How could there be such a talkative person in the world? The most suitable profession for him was a teacher, he was so good at educating others!
“That’s okay, you can go.”
Luo Chenghao looked at him, and Ling Qing raised his hand and waved to him.
Luo Chenghao inexplicably felt powerless, as if he had punched cotton. The other party did not even humiliate him or say anything unpleasant. So, was his apology over just like that?
“Are you not leaving yet? You want to rehearse lines with me.”
“Not really.” Luo Chenghao refused, “I’m going back.”
“Bye.”
Luo Chenghao turned and walked to the side, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Maybe it was because Ling Qing was always beyond his expectations. He thought what he would do, but every time, Ling Qing didn’t follow his script, which made people feel helpless.
Xiao Liu watched him leave and snorted, “He is really insincere. It’s been almost a week and he just apologized.”
“It’s good that he apologized.” Ling Qing said, “There are many people who don’t apologize even if they do something wrong.”
“Brother Ling, you have such a good temper. Only you don’t care about him at all.”
Ling Qing took a piece of yellow peach and took a bite, then smiled and said, “Why should I care about him? He is just a temporary colleague. When this play is over, we will just be strangers.”
“My time is so precious, I don’t bother to care about strangers.”
Xiao Liu thought about it and it seemed to make sense, “Brother Ling, you have a really good attitude.”
“It’s okay.” Ling Qing said, “I’ve seen a lot, so I don’t care about anything.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so much time to care about them one by one.
Ling Qing looked at the script and he only had 1/3 left to finish filming.
He glanced at his belly casually again, hoping that it could still hold up. Baby, can you stay hidden for another twenty days? Be good.
On July 14, Ling Qing officially finished filming. The baby was doing well and up to this point, his belly was still not particularly noticeable. So Ling Qing managed to cover it up successfully by wearing loose clothes.
He posted a Weibo about the completion of filming, and fans were surprised, saying, “It was completed in two and a half months? So fast!”
Netizens were also surprised, “Isn’t Ling Qing the male lead? It was wrapped in less than three months. Isn’t this too fast?”
“Is the crew filming well?”
“You should ask if Ling Qing is filming well.”
“Ling Qing’s role won’t be cut, right?”
“Does the above person want to say that the supporting actors will have more scenes? That shouldn’t be the case.”
“Zhou Xiaochuan is not that kind of person. I guess the filming is going smoothly. If you are interested, you can go to the cinema to watch it. Everyone is welcome to go to the cinema!”
In fact, the filming was indeed going smoothly, and even Zhou Xiaochuan didn’t expect the filming to end so early.
After Ling Qing finished filming, other actors followed suit. When everyone saw that the entire crew had finished filming, they no longer felt that there were additional scenes but only felt that the filming progress was much faster than they had imagined.
“Maybe it’s because the actors are all very professional. Didn’t we discuss this before? The supporting roles are all very capable.”
“Yeah, didn’t someone say before that Ling Qing was the least reliable person in the play and that he might have the worst acting skills. Now it’s proven that everyone works well together and their acting skills are good, so they finished filming so quickly.”
“That’s not the case. Wrapping up early doesn’t mean that Ling Qing has good acting skills. We still have to wait until the play comes out to know about his acting skills.”
“Then everyone is welcome to go to the cinema then to see whether Ling Qing’s acting skills are good or not.”
“Good luck to “Dreams”, see you in the cinema next year!”
“Hopefully it will be soon, and it would be best if we can see it in the cinema this year.”
“It’s difficult this year, it’s already July.”
“I think it’s difficult too, and we probably won’t be able to catch up in the later stage.”
Ling Qing also thought it was difficult, but that was not what he cared about right now anyway. What he cared about now was that he had to go for a prenatal check-up.
Ling Qing felt a little awkward during his first prenatal checkup, but now he had become very calm.
Yu Chen went with him. While touching Ling Qing’s belly, he asked Zhang Peng, “Why is his belly still not obvious? It’s been four and a half months, it should be obvious, right?”
Zhang Peng said helplessly, “When a girl is pregnant, her belly will indeed grow bigger around four months, but for some people it’s slower, and it’s not very obvious at four months. What’s more, your wife is a man. I have no information or comparison about a man’s pregnancy. How can I know why his belly doesn’t grow?”
Yu Chen:…
Yu Chen said disdainfully, “You’re still a doctor.”
“Doctors are not omniscient and omnipotent. I didn’t put my sister-in-law in the anatomy room to study him, nor did I study any differences in his DNA. How could I know these things?” Zhang Peng said fearlessly.
Yu Chen: !!!
“You still want to take him to the anatomy lab for research? What did you eat for lunch? How are you so brave?!”
Zhang Peng lowered his head quickly and said, “I don’t dare to do it. It’s because I haven’t done any research, so I don’t have any data report, and no conclusion. But don’t worry, my sister-in-law and the baby are all normal, so you don’t need to worry too much about the size of her belly.”
Yu Chen reluctantly accepted it.
Ling Qing thought this was good. It would be best if it could last for ten months so that others couldn’t tell that he was pregnant. That would make him happy.
But his fantasy was obviously unrealistic.
Maybe it was because the baby had been hidden for too long when he was on the crew. Now that he was home and there was no pressure from his father, within a few days, Ling Qing found that his belly had grown bigger.
Ling Qing: !!!!
Ling Qing poked Yu Chen beside him in shock, “Help me check, is my belly a little bigger than it was two days ago?”
Yu Chen leaned over to take a look, and was surprised to find, “It seems to be.”
Ling Qing:…
Yu Chen reached out and hugged him, measured it with actual actions, and said to him, “Baby, our baby seems to have really grown a little.”
Ling Qing wanted to cry, “Let Xiao Liu go home quickly, and take everyone else with you. Except for Uncle Wang, no one can stay.”
Yu Chen nodded, “Okay.”
He kissed Ling Qing, touched his belly, and walked out with a smile to find Butler Wang.
Butler Wang was lying on a recliner reading a book. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked like an old professor.
The lounge chair was swaying in the sun, and on the small coffee table in Butler Wang’s left hand were freshly brewed tea and pastries. It could be said that it was quite a treat.
Yu Chen walked up to him and called out, “Uncle Wang.”
Butler Wang put down the book, stood up and asked him, “What’s the matter, young master?”
Yu Chen sat down on another lounge chair on the balcony and said to him, “Tell the other family members this afternoon and let them go home and rest. Those who are willing to work can come back at the beginning of next year. Those who don’t want to, forget it.”
Butler Wang was confused, “Are you laying off employees?”
“I will compensate everyone with one month’s salary.”
“This is not a question of salary, but why? Why are you suddenly laying off Xiao Liu and others?”
“You will know in a few days.”
Butler Wang was puzzled, “Can’t I know now?”
“Sure, but you may have to ask your madam.”
Butler Wang: ?????
Butler Wang said with great curiosity, “I’ll go now.”
“Go ahead.” Yu Chen picked up a piece of cake and said with emotion, “In the future, the family may have to rely on you, Uncle Wang, to cook.”
Butler Wang: ????
I haven’t cooked for many years, okay?!
Butler Wang walked towards Yu Chen’s bedroom with great sorrow.
Ling Qing was leaning against the head of the bed playing with his mobile phone when he heard a knock on the door. Then, Butler Wang walked in.
“What’s wrong?”
“The young master just told me to tell Xiao Liu and the others to let them leave for the time being.”
Ling Qing nodded, “Yes.”
“Why?”
“Didn’t Xiao Yu tell you?”
“The young master said I would know later.”
Ling Qing chuckled, “Then you will indeed know later.”
“But I want to know now.” Butler Wang said, “He said I have to ask you.”
Ling Qing:…
How can I tell him this?
He looked at Butler Wang and saw Yu Chen push the door and walk in.
“You say.” He said to Yu Chen.
“Are you sure you want me to tell him? Even if I tell him, he’ll think what I said is not good.”
Ling Qing said helplessly, “This is an established fact. It doesn’t matter what you say or what I say. I can’t make up any other reasons.”
Yu Chen said, “Then I’ll tell him.”
Ling Qing gave up, “Go ahead!”
Yu Chen coughed and turned to look at his loyal old butler, “Uncle Wang, don’t be surprised when you hear this.”
Uncle Wang sneered and said disdainfully, “I have seen all kinds of storms in my life. Young master, you underestimate me too much.”
“That’s good.” Yu Chen nodded, “Qing Qing and I have a child.”
Butler Wang: “Ah?”
“Qing Qing is pregnant.”
Butler Wang: “Ah?”
“It’s the pregnancy you understand.”
Butler Wang: !!!
What did he hear?
Was their young master crazy?!!!
The author has something to say:
Butler Wang: They have been married for almost a year, is our young master going crazy wanting to have a child?!!!
