Zhao Xinshu suddenly had an uncomfortable premonition. She couldn’t explain it, but she felt flustered for no reason.
Her hand trembled, and the prawn fell to the floor.
Shen Mubei’s gaze was not on her. She found a tissue and picked up the prawn before saying slowly, “Then you should go ahead. I’m not very hungry. I have a scene to shoot in the afternoon. Eating too much will affect my appearance on camera.”
Since she had said so, Shen Mubei started speaking..
He retracted his gaze from the distant void and looked at Zhao Xinshu. “I said back then that I would give you three years to see if I would fall in love with you.”
Zhao Xinshu dug her nails into her arm. She had a premonition that the worst was coming. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she controlled them from falling.
“There’s still half a year.” Shen Mubei tapped the edge of the sofa with his fingers. “I don’t believe there’s a chance of that happening in the next half a year. Xinshu, let’s end this.”
“Mubei!”
Zhao Xinshu’s voice was filled with fear, surprise, and sadness.
She choked. “Isn’t there still half a year? Let’s try again, okay? Give me another half a year. Even if you can’t fall in love with me, I still have half a year to be in love with you. Mubei, I beg you, okay?”
She had always been humble. At this moment, she had lost all her dignity.
Facing Shen Mubei, who was so cold, she gave it everything she had. She grabbed his sleeve and cried, “Give me half a year. I’m willing to bet and admit defeat. Really, if you don’t give me half a year, I won’t be able to accept it, Shen Mubei!”
She was so pitiful, but as usual, Shen Mubei could not feel true love. The only thing he felt for her was guilt.
Because of this guilt, he had supported her for many years and given her the best resources to develop in the entertainment industry without any worries.
He pulled back his sleeve and whispered, “If we end it early, I’ll give you two big productions. Think about it.”
“Mubei, I don’t want a big production. I just want you…”
“You don’t have to be in a hurry to answer me. You still have time to think.” Shen Mubei stood up, tidied his sleeve, glanced at her, and ignored her cries.
After he left, the manager rushed in.
“Xinshu, what’s wrong? What did President Shen do to you?” The manager helped Zhao Xinshu sit up.
Zhao Xinshu overturned everything on the table, unable to hide her anger. “He said he’d give me three years. Now, he’s going to abandon me when there’s half a year left! I’m not convinced! I’m not convinced!”
The manager knew about her agreement with Shen Mubei and said angrily,
“This is too much. He’s sending you away just like that. Who does he think he
“He said that if I give up on the next six months, he’ll give me two big productions… What does he take me for?!” But Zhao Xinshu did value his money and family background.
But she also valued him!
Why did he want to send her away so mercilessly?
After persuading her for a while, the manager slowly said, “Actually, it’s worth considering if you’ll get two big productions. Think about it. You’ve already gained a foothold in the industry. With the support of two more big productions, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to enter the A-list. If you really enter the A-list, you don’t have to worry about your future development. Although President Shen is a good person, he’s a little too cold. You’ve been humble by his side all these years. Not only is it tiring, but it’s also heartbreaking. Think about it. What’s wrong with you leaving him and being a glamorous female celebrity?”
These words were reasonable and swayed Zhao Xinshu’s heart.
Seeing that she was convinced, the manager persuaded her again, “I think
President Shen is difficult to please. You might as well agree now. If you’re late,
I’m afraid he’ll go back on his word regarding these two big productions.”
Zhao Xinshu gritted her teeth and said, “Let me think about it.”
Two days later, Shen Mubei received a call from Zhao Xinshu. “Mubei, I agree with your suggestion. We’ll let go of each other.”
“I’ll get my assistant to send the contract to your manager,” Shen Mubei said calmly.
Then, without another word, he hung up.
The night wind blew, and the relief in his heart surged.
During this period of time, Qiao Weiyang was preparing for the finals of the International Fashion Design Competition while filming.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Old Master Qiao’s follow-up examination.
She went to the sanatorium early in the morning to pick up Old Master Qiao and drove to the hospital for the follow-up examination.
Although she was good at feeling people’s pulses, this concerned her grandfather’s health. She still wanted to rely on advanced instruments to confirm it.
“Grandpa, how do you feel?” Qiao Weiyang asked as she did the examination.
“My chest used to feel stuffy…” Old Master Qiao smiled and said, “…but it doesn’t anymore.”
“Don’t deliberately pant when you speak.” Qiao Weiyang smiled and patted her chest. “Are you planning to scare me into having heart disease?”
Old Master Qiao laughed out loud. “I’ve been able to eat and sleep well recently. I don’t feel any discomfort. If you’re worried, I’ll go for a few more check-ups.”
“Okay, Hanzhi. Help me arrange it.”
Song Hanzhi smiled and said, “Old Master, please go ahead. I’ll accompany you for these examinations.
“I’ll wait for you outside.” Qiao Weiyang watched as her grandfather was taken away by Song Hanzhi. She walked out and bought a bottle of diet Coke from the vending machine.
With the Coke in her hand, she turned around and saw Xiao Qing flash past.
“Xiao Qing!” Qiao Weiyang shouted.
Xiao Qing continued to walk forward without looking back.
Could it be that Qiao Weiyang had recognized the wrong person?
She was about to chase after her when Xiao Qing disappeared.
Qiao Weiyang could only ignore that for now and return to the examination room.
Xiao Qing really did not hear Qiao Weiyang’s voice. She was a little dejected and confused.
It had been more than a month since her last encounter with Shen Mubei. Yesterday, she was surprised to find that her period had not come.
She was so frightened that she hurriedly searched on Baidu for a while. However, she did not know what to do and had no choice but to go to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test kit.
She saw that there were two lines on it. Her eyes darkened and she almost fainted when she found the meaning of the two lines on the manual.
She had clearly bought the morning after pill last time, but she forgot to take it. Later on, she thought that it was impossible for her to get pregnant as that would be a big coincidence.
After a few more days, she stopped thinking about it.
Today, she came to the hospital for further confirmation, and her mind was blank. She did not hear Qiao Weiyang calling out to her at all..
