QTMWSFC Chapter 31.2

“It’s not that bad. It’s nothing compared to how busy you are. My recent work has been easy enough.” Xia Qingmeng smiled and comforted him.

“Then turn down the movie. If the script isn’t good, there’s no point getting involved. It’s not worth it. Why not take a rest? You deserve better. If it comes to it, I can write a script for you, and we’ll shoot it ourselves. It’s not like we’re short on money.”

At worst, he would just ask 0250 to exchange for a screenwriting skill, write a few good scripts specifically for Xia Qingmeng, and fund the production himself. Wasn’t that fine? He was so rich that he had nothing left but money.

Xia Qingmeng was amused by him. She knew Xu Xinghe was talented and wealthy, but he was usually low-key and cold. It was rare to hear him speak so domineeringly and childishly.

“President Xu, would you call this sleeping your way to the top?” Xia Qingmeng playfully blew on his chest and traced her fingers over his muscles.

She had to admit, the texture felt really good.

Xu Xinghe held her wandering hand and scolded in a low voice, “Stop teasing me. We’re family now. Why talk like outsiders?”

What did she mean by “sleeping her way to the top”? That sounded terrible. She was going to be the future madam of the Xu Group.

Xia Qingmeng pulled her hand back and stopped teasing him. “I’ll listen to you. Honestly, I was hesitant too. But I remember when my resources weren’t so good, I took on a lot of bad dramas, which really hurt my reputation. So now I plan to take on only good-quality projects whenever possible.”

“Yes, I support you.” Xu Xinghe agreed with her thinking.

Moreover, in the original plot, Xia Qingmeng suffered a miscarriage due to an accident while filming a movie. Coincidentally, Shen Xichun was also in that movie. He couldn’t stay by Xia Qingmeng’s side every second during filming, so not going to shoot—a permanent solution that avoided all trouble—was a good way to protect her.

“So, wife, when do you plan to have our wedding?” Xu Xinghe circled back to the topic.

“Oh! Right, we got off track. I forgot…” Xia Qingmeng said sheepishly. “How about we wait until after I have the baby? By the time I finish my work, my belly will already be big. I don’t want to get married with a big belly. It wouldn’t look good.”

Xia Qingmeng imagined herself walking down the aisle in a wedding dress with a pregnant belly, and her fantasy immediately shattered. No way! That didn’t look good at all!

Xu Xinghe smoothed out her furrowed brow. “Alright, we’ll do it after you have the baby. That will also give us plenty of time to plan properly.”

…

The two of them moved very quickly. The next day, they got their marriage certificate and then suddenly announced their marriage to the public. They really kept quiet and did something big.

Agent Ye Qin: ??? What is she, an air? Couldn’t they at least notify her?

That day, Weibo exploded. The servers even crashed for a while, leaving a bunch of tech staff working like dogs.

Everyone who participated in the variety show with them sent their blessings, and the production team also posted a special Weibo post to celebrate the couple.

Netizens joked that “All The Way With You” finally stopped being a “breakup-inducing” show and was now effectively a “marriage-encouraging” one!

Shen Xichun also hopped on the trend and posted a blessing, though she was secretly seething with jealousy.

Xu Xinghe’s parents were both shocked and overjoyed. They went directly to the young couple’s home to verify the news.

When two brand-new red marriage certificates were actually slapped on the table in front of them, Mother Xu was so happy she couldn’t stop smiling. She picked up the certificates and looked at them again and again, absolutely happy.

“You’re already not so young anymore. If Meng Meng hadn’t accepted you, I would have thought there was something wrong with your sexual orientation!” Mother Xu didn’t shy away at all and said with a smile, “Here, this is a red envelope for Meng Meng. Welcome to the family!”

Xu Xinghe reached for the red envelope, but his mother slapped his hand away. “What are you reaching for? This is for Meng Meng!”

Xia Qingmeng took the red envelope. It felt heavy in her hand, looking like it was about to burst.

Father Xu also gave a red envelope. The two red envelopes together made for a substantial sum!

“Dad, Mom, actually, there’s one more thing I need to tell you.” Xu Xinghe looked very serious.

“Ah? What is it?” Mother Xu couldn’t wipe the smile off her face, but she still cooperated with her precious son.

Xu Xinghe glanced down slightly at Xia Qingmeng’s belly. “Qingmeng and I are having a baby.”

“Yes. Wait, what?!” After Mother Xu processed what he said, her mouth formed an O shape.

Father Xu was drinking tea. He choked on the liquid and coughed several times hard.

This rascal. When he does something, he really does it big, huh?!

“Really?” Mother Xu scooted over and sat next to Xia Qingmeng, her movements becoming involuntarily gentle. “How many months along? Oh my, what do we do now? We need to get the wedding organized right away! Meng Meng, what kind of wedding do you like?”

She had only one precious son. She was originally worried he might end up alone for life. Now he had a partner and a baby on the way. The surprise came so fast she could barely handle it!

Xia Qingmeng gently touched her still-flat belly. “Only one month, but I still have work to do, so I plan to have the wedding after the baby is born.”

Mother Xu looked worried. “How can you still be working? You must be very careful! You absolutely need to be cautious during these first three months! Why don’t you come and stay with us, Meng Meng? I’m just an old woman with nothing much to do anyway, free all day. Let me take care of you. I have more experience.”

Xu Xinghe had already been thinking of moving because of the annoying female lead. Now, moving back to the family home seemed like an even better idea. The people there were long-trusted staff who had been with the family for years, so they would be more reliable in caring for Xia Qingmeng. So he agreed on her behalf.

The family acted on their plan immediately, packing up efficiently and moving house!
