QTMWSFC Chapter 32

The script recommended by Deng Yuanli was quite good. The genre was an urban group drama. Xia Qingmeng played a young girl who originally came from a wealthy family and lived a happy life but unfortunately met a manipulative and abusive man who cheated her out of her money and broke her heart, leaving her to become a single mother.

Perhaps it was because she was also pregnant and had experienced feelings of insecurity recently, but Xia Qingmeng connected deeply with the character. Her audition performance was so brilliant that the director decided on the spot to cast her.

When signing the contract, Xia Qingmeng honestly admitted that she was already pregnant and worried that her changing body might affect the filming later. The director took this into consideration and arranged for her scenes to be shot as early as possible. Fortunately, the weather was cold, so the costumes were all winter clothes. The shooting schedule was also short. Her pregnancy was completely unnoticeable, so the filming went very smoothly.

After finishing the drama, Xia Qingmeng also shot the three endorsement advertisements she had previously agreed to, and then officially stayed at home to rest and focus on her pregnancy.

Xia Qingmeng felt that she was quite lucky. Other pregnant women were often tormented by all kinds of pregnancy symptoms, but she continued to eat well and had no major discomfort during filming. Everything went smoothly.

Xia Qingmeng didn’t know this was thanks to the system. She simply thought the child she was carrying would definitely be very well-behaved in the future.

Generally speaking, pregnant women have their pregnant belly start showing in the fourth month. But Xia Qingmeng’s belly became visible not long after she finished working, at barely over three months.

At first, Xia Qingmeng didn’t think much of it. But Mother Xu had been a mother herself. The more she looked at Xia Qingmeng’s belly, the more she felt something was off. She touched it keenly and said strangely, “Meng Meng, isn’t your belly growing a bit too fast? I remember when I was carrying that rascal of mine, it wasn’t this obvious at this stage.”

Xia Qingmeng, who had little experience, looked down and touched her already protruding belly. Could it be twins? Why hadn’t the previous check-up found that? Hmph! Quack doctor!

In truth, the earlier check-up was done too early, so not detecting it was normal. Besides, Xia Qingmeng had been so healthy and the pregnancy had gone so smoothly that she hadn’t gone for another check-up.

The thought that Xia Qingmeng might be carrying two little ones made Mother Xu overjoyed. She immediately went on a shopping spree and bought another set of baby supplies. Xia Qingmeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

That evening, when Xu Xinghe came home from work, Xia Qingmeng told him about it. He was surprised but also very happy. The two decided to go to the hospital for another check-up to confirm whether it was true so they wouldn’t be happy for nothing.

Xu Xinghe, who had always trusted his memory, suddenly began to doubt it. He called out 0250 and reviewed the original plot again.

That was right. In the original plot, Xia Qingmeng had indeed been pregnant twice, but both times ended in miscarriage. However, the plot never mentioned how many children there were!

In the previous world, he and Xia Qingmeng only had Le Le and Yao Yao. Did that mean in this world, they would have more than just Le Le and Yao Yao?

Not knowing would have been fine, but knowing made him a little conflicted. He didn’t really want more children. Too many kids would be chaotic, and pregnancy was very hard.

After thinking it over, Xu Xinghe finally decided to pretend he didn’t know. What good would more children do? They would cost more money and energy, get in the way of his time with Xia Qingmeng, and hinder her acting career. Most importantly, he had no say in the matter. It all depended on Xia Qingmeng.

During Xia Qingmeng’s pregnancy, several of her dramas aired one after another. The first to air was the TV series “The You in Time,” in which she played the fourth female lead, a love-obsessed and vicious supporting character.

In fact, the popularity of this was not high, and she was only the fourth female lead. But thanks to her later variety show appearance, her popularity had soared, and even this drama became a hit.

With the success of this drama, several of Xia Qingmeng’s previous historical dramas also ended up airing. To everyone’s surprise, they were actually quite good and even helped her solidify her fan base. Perhaps the industrial assembly-line feel of those earlier years hadn’t been as strong. Although they were previous dramas, they were still surprisingly good in the current market.

After Xiang Ran signed with Chenxi Entertainment, his company finally stopped holding him back and his resources improved. His potential proved itself, practically every drama he starred in became a hit.

But he might have developed some kind of trauma from variety shows because he never participated in one again. His fans were initially disappointed, but eventually they all became Buddhas. Forget it, as long as our boy is happy. Focusing on acting was good. Actors should maintain some distance and not keep appearing on variety shows.

The ten months of pregnancy were neither particularly fast nor slow. Even after going through two worlds now, Xu Xinghe still felt that this period of time was very hard for Xia Qingmeng.

The two children were born in the morning. Sure enough, they were Le Le and Yao Yao! Although the emotions from the previous world had been stripped away, the memories remained. When he truly saw the two children again with his own eyes, Xu Xinghe still felt a familiar wave of emotion.

How wonderful, they were still a family!

While Xia Qingmeng was recovering from childbirth, her new drama “Our Life” happened to premiere.

Even as a web series, the drama recommended by Senior Deng was truly high quality. Although it was a group drama, every character was vividly portrayed. In particular, Xia Qingmeng’s character sparked widespread discussion among netizens.

From time to time, fans would leave comments on her page, advising her not to be love-obsessed in real life. Being love-obsessed is a disaster! Focus on your career!

Of course, most comments were begging her to come back and work. She had barely been active for nearly a year. Every time she posted something, it was just a few photos. Her fans missed her terribly. Fortunately, many of her dramas aired that year, so her fans didn’t feel too lonely.

By the time Xia Qingmeng finished her postpartum recovery, the drama was almost over. In the story, her character Song Wen finally got a divorce, won custody of her child, and started living alone with the baby. Although life was hard, breaking free from the abusive man was a relief in itself.

Fans cried their eyes out. The comments were full of sympathy for Song Wen. She had trusted the wrong person and wasted her best years. Many also congratulated her on leaving the scumbag and wished her happiness going forward.

Xia Qingmeng felt that she owed her fans an explanation after disappearing from the screen for so long, so she took a family photo with Xu Xinghe and their two children and posted it on Weibo.

“Hi, everyone, long time no see! I’m very happy now! I hope you are all healthy and happy too!

Attached: a family photo.”

And once again, the internet exploded.

Fans were dumbfounded: ???

Wow, this couple really loved to keep quiet and do big things!

First, they got married without warning. Then they had kids without warning!

So that’s why they hadn’t been seen for so long?

Turns out they were busy having babies?

Agent Ye Qin: …Just pretend I don’t exist…

Because Xia Qingmeng released quite a few dramas that year, all of good quality, and although she wasn’t very active online, her popularity among the general public increased significantly.

The wedding that had been postponed because of the children was finally put back on the schedule. On the day of the wedding, many people sent their blessings. Many major industry figures also attended.

Their CP fan page celebrated wildly all night long. Xu Xinghe was in such a good mood that he interacted with fans on the page for the first time, sending wedding candies to lucky fans. The fans praised him as the good son-in-law!

Xia Qingmeng officially returned to the entertainment industry. With her improved public image and strong professional skills, her career continued to flourish.

Yin Xinya showed up at their door several times afterward, but each time she was stopped outside by Mother Xu. After multiple failed attempts, she had no choice but to leave empty-handed.

Xu Xinghe never considered himself a good person. If he didn’t go after the Chu family, they would reach out to the Xu family. So he never gave the Chu family any chance to develop. In recent years, he had worked tirelessly to develop emerging technologies and break into new tech fields.

…

In a luxurious bedroom, Chu Xiuwen, feeling a splitting headache, smashed a half-empty bottle of wine on the floor and hung up the phone after it had rung endlessly.

Over the years, he had gone to great lengths to take over the Chu Corporation, but he wasn’t as happy as he had imagined. Just maintaining the company’s current operations was exhausting enough. He had no energy left to deal with the woman who constantly lost her temper and caused trouble.

On the other end of the line, Yin Xinya saw her call hung up again. She felt both angry and hateful. It was him who said they would fight together back then, but he was also the one who abandoned her! He was the one who said they would stay together forever, but he was also the one who drugged her and caused her to miscarry!

Without the Xu family’s support in recent years and combined with her multiple failed business attempts, the Yin family had accumulated a lot of debt. Life was getting worse every day. Now, forget about the latest clothes and handbags. She wasn’t even sure if she could hold onto the Yin family’s big villa anymore!

If she hadn’t been completely out of options, would she have gone to Chu Xiuwen?

The phone gave off a disconnected busy sound. On TV, they were broadcasting the new film in which Xia Qingmeng had won Best Actress.

Yin Xinya found the sight unbearably irritating. She gripped the remote control tightly and switched the channel. But she landed on an interview where Xu Xinghe was speaking eloquently.

Yin Xinya stared greedily at the young and handsome man on the screen.

This man should have been hers! He was so obsessed with her back then! How could he fall in love with Xia Qingmeng?! She needed to ask him why he didn’t like her anymore!

Unable to suppress these mad thoughts, Yin Xinya took a taxi and rushed to Xu Xinghe’s company.

“I want to see Xu Xinghe! Tell him to come down to me!” Yin Xinya yelled at the front desk receptionist, throwing her bag and stamping her feet, completely losing her image.

After all these years, the receptionist was no longer the newbie she once was. She was already far too familiar with Yin Xinya.

This crazy woman would show up occasionally to cause a scene. She had long since gotten used to it. But there was always nothing she could do about her, so she had no choice but to call security to escort her out to prevent her from damaging the company’s image.

“Let go of me! Let go!” Yin Xinya struggled fiercely. She was the eldest daughter of the Yin family! Not someone some random security guard could touch!
