Chapter 2015: It Is Still Too Far Away To Be Thinking About This
Xiao Yuqian brought him to the cast and crew for the first time. She introduced him to the director but she didn’t reveal his real identity. This was to avoid people seeing him in a different light, as she was afraid people would supplant him.
And just like this, Ma Haodong’s first appearance on screen came out. He was a full-on disciple of the Beggars Sect. Xiao Yuqian was quite satisfied when she saw his new image. His appearance completely detached from the feel of a rich young man. It kept well in accordance with the image in the script.
After that, Ma Haodong’s performance in the studio became even more remarkable. This allowed Xiao Yuqian to feel completely at ease.
People might think that with who Ma Haodong was and the fact that he was under the management of a star manager, the roles he took should be at least secondary male leads or above.
However, that wasn’t the case in reality. In order to avoid him being the subject of ridicule, and to avoid the other artist under her care to feel it was unfair, Xiao Yuqian didn’t give Ma Haodong any special treatment.
She would let him start from the basics so he could learn how to become a good actor.
…
Once Ma Haodong was used to life with the cast and crew, Xiao Yuqian found time on a weekend to visit Su Jimo’s house together with him.
The couple Su Jimo and Nie Zhenglan welcomed their arrival enthusiastically.
Nowadays, Su Jimo was living peacefully with his wife after he took off his star actor’s halo. He became a good man who stayed at home. He accompanied his wife to go shopping and to buy groceries every day. The two of them were also very harmonious in their simple lives. The relationship between them also became obviously much better than before.
Xiao Yuqian could even feel the thing called a blessing that was emitting out of their bodies.
“Brother Mo, how does it feel for a major movie star like you to come back home?” Xiao Yuqian interviewed him like a gossipy reporter.
“Quite good. I learned how to fry vegetables,” Su Jimo said very sincerely. “I will let you guys witness my handiwork in the afternoon.”
“Good! A man who knows how to cook is definitely a bonus. Lanlan will be able to eat well in the future.”
“Yeah, I won’t let Lanlan cook in the future. I will handle everything.” Su Jimo put his arm around his wife.
Nie Zhenglan laughed. “How could I let you do everything. We can take turns doing it.”
“You should just listen to me obediently for the time being. We will see after the child is born,” Su Jimo said gently.
When Xiao Yuqian heard this, she asked in surprise, “Lanlan, you are pregnant?”
“Yeah.” Nie Zhenglan smiled very joyfully as she snuggled up into Su Jimo’s embrace.
“Wow, congratulations you guys. Brother Mo, you will be promoted to becoming a stay-at-home dad very soon!”
Xiao Yuqian felt happy for them. The two of them had been in love for so many years and it was finally going to bear fruit.
“Yeah. I’ve already made preparations to become a father. We will be able to meet our child in another few months. We are looking forward to it very much.”
Xiao Yuqian intentionally made a joke. “When you guys have a child, you will need to spend quite a bit taking care of them in the future. Have you ever thought of taking a film project to earn some money for milk powder?”
“Haha…” Su Jimo laughed. The wealth he had accumulated throughout the many years was enough for the husband and wife to live for the rest of their lives. It didn’t matter if he earned money or not. Right now, he only wanted to wait for the birth of their child in peace and to play the role of a good husband and a good father.
Right now, Nie Zhenglan already had a blessed life. She also felt worried on behalf of her good sister, Xiao Yuqian. “Our baby is already about to be born. What about you, Qianqian? When are you planning on getting married?”
Xiao Yuqian couldn’t help but laugh. “It is still early for us. Haodong is still in school and still needs a few years at least. It is still too far away to be thinking about this for the time being.”
While on the way back from Su Jimo’s house, Ma Haodong suddenly said, “Qianqian, as long as you are willing, we can go get a certificate right now.”
