The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 1011 - 408: I Was Far Too Merciful Not to Ravish You to Death in Bed

Chapter 1011: Chapter 408: I Was Far Too Merciful Not to Ravish You to Death in Bed

Gu Xiyan was driven to the film crew by an assistant because it was known that Song Qiao doesn’t dare drive herself now, so the driver was directly left with her.

After sending Lu Wangshu back yesterday, Song Qiao made a special trip to the mall and bought a cowboy hat. It wasn’t very expensive, but the moment Song Qiao saw the hat, she felt it was perfect for her son.

When she went out, Song Qiao specially took out the hat and placed it directly on her son’s head. Sure enough, once it was on, Song Qiao felt her son looked even more handsome.

Finally unable to control her fondness for her son, she gave a quick kiss on his cheek and exclaimed, "Baby, you’re so handsome, I’m really worried you’ll be spotted by other girls and they’ll try to steal you from me."

Lu Wangshu looked at himself in the mirror with the hat on. His little face was usually expressionless, but this time he couldn’t help but show a shy smile. His small mouth moved, and he immediately said, "Thank you, Mom..."

In a good mood, Song Qiao raised her hand to adjust his clothes a little before saying, "Let’s go, Mom will take you out."

Lu Wangshu nodded and gave a soft "mm."

...

The movie Gu Xiyan was filming was a historical one, with an investment of 100 million yuan, adapted from a novel.

The novel had been quite popular earlier, with a strong reader fanbase, making the movie nearly a hit even before shooting began.

To faithfully replicate the original novel in the movie, the investors committed 100 million yuan, which was quite a large sum.

After all, some TV series cost at most only tens of millions, not to mention a movie.

Song Qiao was an avid novel fan, with many apps from major websites on her phone, her home filled with various physical novels, particularly fond of historical romances and strong female leads.

The novel that the movie Gu Xiyan was filming was adapted from was one that Song Qiao liked a lot at the time.

However, the novel’s ending was too tragic, and after reading it once and shedding tears, she left it in the corner, never daring to take it out again.

Later, when she learned that the movie Gu Xiyan was shooting was based on this novel, she purposely read it again, and unsurprisingly, ended up crying her eyes out once more.

The basic storyline was that the female lead, played by Gu Xiyan, was the daughter of the Prime Minister’s Residence, adored by all since childhood. She later met the male lead, played by the popular actor ’Yang Bai’, who was a brave and cunning general in the novel.

By the emperor’s decree, the two got married. From the start to over half the plot, their relationship was so sweet it made single people cringe, their affection so intense that people couldn’t help but sigh and wonder how such a loving couple could exist.

However, after two-thirds of the story, it became impossible to stop one’s tears.

The male lead was sent off to war as border conflicts erupted, and this time, he fell into the enemy’s trap and never returned.

The remainder was entirely about the female lead, playing out her struggle alone after the male lead’s death, supporting both the General Mansion and Prime Minister’s Residence, growing old on her own.

The line Song Qiao remembered most vividly was when the female lead was on her deathbed, saying, "After he died in battle, I once thought of hanging myself to follow him, but every time that thought occurred, I’d recall the words he left me before leaving for war, asking me to wait for his return. So I always believed he was still alive. Yet... after decades of waiting, I ultimately couldn’t wait for his return. During these years, I’ve been lying to myself, deceiving myself into believing he’s still in this chaotic world. But now, I’m clearer than anyone that he died long ago... Now, I can finally join him. I wonder if he’s still waiting for me at Naihe Bridge..."

Perhaps no one could truly comprehend the female lead’s ultimate relief and despair; initially, even she couldn’t understand the female lead’s emotions. It wasn’t until Gu Xiyan received and read out this line in a completely different tone and perspective that she truly understood.

The film was quite the sensation even before production began; just the announcement of its adaptation into a movie made headlines and trended. Later, when it was revealed that Gu Xiyan and Yang Bai were starring in the lead roles, the calls for the film increased significantly.

Although Gu Xiyan had developed her career in Paris previously, she had filmed a TV series before that broke several domestic viewership records, and it was from there that Gu Xiyan rose to fame.

...

The film crew was located at a film base not far from the city center, where many movies and TV series had been shot.

The filming area was quite large, and as soon as the car drove through the entrance, Lu Wangshu, who had been silent, raised his head to look at Song Qiao, and with a slightly childish tone, said, "Mom, I’m thirsty."

Song Qiao was about to call Gu Xiyan when she heard Lu Wangshu. She paused, then nodded, "Alright, let’s go get some water first, and then we can find Sister Xiyan later."

The little one nodded obediently.

Song Qiao never would have expected to run into Lu Jingchen at the café inside the photography base... and standing beside him was Zuo Yuqing.

At the foot of the stairs, Song Qiao, holding Lu Wangshu’s hand, was about to go up when she heard Zuo Yuqing’s slightly surprised voice, "Song Qiao?"

She quickly raised her head; her first sight was not Zuo Yuqing, but Lu Jingchen standing next to her.

At the moment she saw Lu Jingchen, Song Qiao thought she was hallucinating, but after blinking, she met the man’s gaze and instantly realized that indeed, she had run into Lu Jingchen here.

Her gaze slowly moved, landing on Zuo Yuqing next to Lu Jingchen. Over the past five years, she had kept an eye on Zuo Yuqing, knowing that she was still a radiant actress. Time had left no mark on her face, and she was even more stunning, impossible to look away from.

Watching the two standing together above, a phrase popped into Song Qiao’s mind: ’Golden boy and jade girl.’

Quickly, another descriptor followed: ’A perfect couple.’

It must be said, Lu Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing really matched perfectly standing together, both possessing a dazzling aura that easily drew attention wherever they went, and Zuo Yuqing’s uncle and aunt were the chairpersons of the Zuo Group.

This must be what they call ’well-matched in status.’

With this thought, a slight discomfort suddenly arose in Song Qiao’s heart.

"Daddy..." Seeing Lu Jingchen, Lu Wangshu’s face lit up with a joyful smile. He wanted to run toward Lu Jingchen but had only taken a step when he turned back to look at Song Qiao beside him, calling out in a childish, soft voice, "Mommy..."

Song Qiao released his hand, forcing a smile and said softly, "Go to your daddy; mommy has things to do today. I’ll take you out tomorrow, okay?"

A puzzled expression appeared on Lu Wangshu’s face as he looked at Song Qiao and asked, "Mommy, why aren’t you going with me to daddy?"

In his world, he always thought mommy and daddy should be together.

Otherwise, how could he exist?

Song Qiao’s expression froze for a few seconds before returning to normal. She spoke directly, "Mommy has things to do later and needs to meet with Xiyan. Daddy seems to have time now, so you go to daddy. I’ll take you to the amusement park tomorrow after I’ve sorted out other things, okay?"

Hearing he could go to the amusement park, a look of excitement appeared on the little guy’s face, "Mommy, can we really go to the amusement park?"

He seemed to have never been to the amusement park in his life.

Song Qiao nodded, "Then you go to daddy first."

The little guy nodded.

Song Qiao said nothing further, turning to leave.

But after just a few steps, her son’s voice came from behind, "Daddy..."

Song Qiao hadn’t turned back to look when footsteps sounded behind her. Suddenly, her arm was grabbed by a large hand, forcing her to halt, and she heard a slightly dissatisfied male voice, "Song Qiao, you brought our son here, and you plan to just leave him with me?"

Song Qiao’s body froze, realizing she had forgotten that Lu Jingchen might be on a date now.

Would he even have time to look after their son?

With this thought, her face showed a hint of awkwardness as she turned to the man behind her, "If you don’t have time, I can take him. But I am taking him to the set, and honestly, even if you’re busy, it’s probably better for him to be with you than with me, right? Mr. Lu, what do you think?"

"Mr. Lu?" Lu Jingchen didn’t answer her question but instead repeated the words, his expression instantly tinged with sarcasm, "You’re calling me Mr. Lu now?"

Song Qiao didn’t catch the other meaning in his words, feeling slightly puzzled. She said, "Otherwise? I could call you Young Master Lu..."

Before Song Qiao could finish, Lu Jingchen retorted, almost through gritted teeth, "Song Qiao, the fact that I didn’t end you that night was true mercy on my part."

Song Qiao’s face turned red, then green, at his words.
