My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 621: Retribution for Being Late 29

"Damn, Bo Yan, the movie star, always likes to play the ’once in a lifetime’ series, making us ordinary folks unable to resist the fascination, right?"

"I feel like ever since Bo Yan admitted he got married, his life has completely revolved around his wife and kids, even promoting his wife. Bo Yan, you better not be slipping."

"Yeah, the person above is right. Bo Yan, you really can’t slip up. If you don’t earn good money, how are you going to support your handsome son and your gorgeous daughter-in-law?"

"Please, Bo Yan, be a person. Spare a thought for those official account technicians. The buzz you create each time is enough to crash their system, and those guys must be so afraid of you."

"This move is legit. It just shows how incredibly well Bo Yan treats Yuran."

...

The internet was abuzz: In every lively corner of the capital, there was a group of people who, rather than dating properly, were addicted to celebrity gossip, clutching their phones and rampaging through the internet.

Two days ago, Xie Cheng had returned from abroad, back to his job. During this period, he had been busier helping Gao Can than when he was with Bo Yan, maybe even many times more so.

He had just caught a break when he saw such explosive comments online.

The whole nation pleading for Bo Yan to "be a person."

He deeply agreed and nodded. He had rested for two days and was feeling good. Seeing that Diyang had instructed to control the reviews, he didn’t think this scandal was any different from the others.

Meanwhile, Yuran’s team was not managing this matter at all. Yuran had always been detached from responding to any external comments.

He really wanted to take back his previous disrespect towards Yuran. It hadn’t been long, and he had never expected Yuran’s fame to rise so fast. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

To say she wasn’t a match for Bo Yan seemed wrong, yet to say she was perfectly suited seemed just a bit off.

The release date for "City of Temptation" was set for New Year’s Day next year.

Previously undecided, "Miss Rose" quickly set its release date after "City of Temptation" had announced its own.

The same day as "City of Temptation."

Xi Gu released an official post.

Huanya General Manager Xi Gu V: "Invited to a wager, please be the witnesses. ’Miss Rose’ ’City of Temptation’."

This move seemed perplexing, leaving everyone wondering what exactly Xi Gu’s sudden post was trying to communicate—specifically, what he was trying to express was confusing to everyone.

Netizens interpreted it as:

"Xi Gu, Manager Xi, with this move, perhaps feels that he is sure to win, no suspense. But is this really a good idea? Isn’t he worried about being proven wrong? That kind of embarrassment hurts."

This comment rose to the top of the trending list, with likes exceeding two hundred thousand.

Xi Gu’s assistant had advised him on this, suggesting that such a post might not be a good idea and whether it should be taken down.

After all, the netizens were right: If he lost, it would be Huanya that ended up embarrassed, and the stakeholders would assuredly demand an explanation.

Xi Gu’s authority at Huanya was already minimal, and many stakeholders had disliked him for a long time. If he continued this way, it would make future work difficult, and deal with the stakeholders would be draining.

But Xi Gu believed that "Miss Rose," in terms of quality or preparation time, was better than "City of Temptation," and the team was not necessarily worse. Even though Diyang’s team was responsible for editing "City of Temptation," was Xi Nian influential enough to have the best team work on it?

Probably not.

On Christmas day, what was happening online didn’t interest Yuran or Bo Yan as the family of three was busy decorating the Christmas tree at home, a task assigned by Zhizhi’s teacher.

Yuran, herself, did not like celebrating foreign holidays, which she found meaningless.

However, unable to bear her son’s sadness, she could only accept the labor and complaints and be a devoted mother.

Zhizhi handed out sparkling decorations on one side, while Yuran and Bo Yan were on the other side, diligently decorating the Christmas tree with all the elements Zhizhi liked.

Occasionally, they even received a few compliments and directions from Zhizhi.

At such moments, Yuran and Bo Yan’s gazes would inadvertently meet, and then they would smile helplessly.

Regarding their son’s suggestions, the two of them never argued, within reasonable limits, of course; if something was amiss, they would correct it immediately.

On the Christmas tree, decorations slowly added, there were also red envelopes prepared by Yuran and Bo Yan for Zhizhi, which served as Christmas presents.

Zhizhi looked at the finished Christmas tree and cheered, bringing out all the gifts he had received in his room and piled them under the tree, talking to himself.

"This one is from uncle, this one is from grandma..."

The couple did not disturb Zhizhi; Bo Yan took Yuran by the hand to the sofa and said, "Xi Nian is taking action tonight."

At first, Yuran did not catch on, but within a few seconds, her face turned paler, "What did you say?"

Bo Yan held her in his embrace, his chin resting on top of her head, "Baby, don’t panic, I’ll explain it slowly."

Yuran gripped his shirt tightly, at a loss for words, unsure how to remain calm.

Bo Yan’s hand smoothed over her back, gently soothing her nerves, and only when her breathing had calmed a little did he slowly start to speak, "Xi Nian is fully prepared, and Qi Younian is also with Qiuyan, can you be at ease?"

Yuran shook her head, "I’m not at ease."

Bo Yan understood but did not want her to worry too much or be so anxious, but it seemed he could not help with these two concerns nor provide her the comfort she needed.

All he could do was keep her in his arms, waiting together for an answer.

...

Qi Younian drove Meng Qiuyan away from the studio and saw a black car that had been following them. He glanced sidelong at Qiuyan beside him, who seemed slightly nervous, and reached out to hold her hands.

"Baby, are you nervous?"

Meng Qiuyan’s nervousness diminished significantly, "Don’t call me baby."

Qi Younian raised an eyebrow, "Why be so thin-skinned? You and Yuran are sisters, so why can she be so shameless?"

Meng Qiuyan’s face turned a bit red, but she couldn’t stand Qi Younian disgracing Yuran, even if she knew it was a joke, it still felt uncomfortable, "Qi Younian, must you be like this?"

Qi Younian’s previously anxious mood suddenly lifted, and he sighed, "If my driving is bad and something happens to both of us, would you blame me?"

He said this with a completely serious expression, causing Meng Qiuyan to pause and softly shake her head, "No."

She then firmly grasped Qi Younian’s hand in return.

Qi Younian smiled again, "It feels like falling in love with you is indeed worth it in this life."

Meng Qiuyan side-eyed him, "Do you even know what ’worth it in this life’ means? Is having a child the only thing that makes it worth it?"

Qi Younian: "... you make it sound like if we survive this time, you’ll have a child with me."

"Fine."
