Chapter 255 I Was Counter-Taken by the Male Lead (Bonus Chapter)
"Knock knock knock," a knock sounded on the door, and a moment later a clear male voice came from inside: "Wait a moment."
Hearing the voice, the people standing outside the door exchanged glances, feeling a sudden tension. Before they could think too much about it, the door was opened.
They then saw a handsome man dressed in casual home clothes standing inside the door. He smiled slightly at them and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, come in quickly."
Time has left no trace on the man's face; his features remain handsome, but he has become more composed, like a piece of sandalwood that can bring peace.
Everyone quickly waved their hands and followed him in somewhat awkwardly. The man, Xie Nan, turned to them and said, "Arou and Baobao haven't gotten up yet. Please wait a moment while I go and call them."
Jiang Rou was already lazy, and after having a child, she greatly reduced the time she spent filming dramas, maintaining an output of one drama per year. A program called "My Family's Big Star" came to her door, wanting to invite her to be a guest.
The show mainly records the real lives of celebrities. It has been running for three seasons and has achieved very good ratings, making it one of the most popular variety shows in China.
Jiang Rou agreed to the shoot to give back to her fans, and today is the first day of filming. Because she went to bed late last night, Jiang Rou is still not awake.
As everyone was carefully setting up the camera, a puzzled child's voice suddenly came from inside: "Hello, uncles, are you here to record a show at my house?"
The photographer turned around and saw a little boy as tall as his legs, with big eyes staring at him intently, looking like a soft and cuddly cotton doll.
The little boy, Xie Yu, has a face that looks just like Xie Nan's. He's incredibly cute and adorable, and his soft, endearing appearance makes even a single photographer want to have a baby.
Xie Yujiang blinked her big, watery eyes at the camera that the photographer was carrying on his shoulder.
He recognized the dark box; his mother had taken him to a film set and told him it was called a video camera and was used for making movies.
Moreover, Aunt Xiaoyu had already told him yesterday that someone would be coming to their house to record a program today, and he would soon be able to appear on TV with his mother. Xie Yu was very happy.
The photographer, listening to the child's innocent words, couldn't help but tighten his voice again and again: "Hello."
He was worried that the child might be afraid of the camera, and was about to explain to him when he saw that adorable little boy waving his little hand at the camera.
"Good morning, brothers and sisters. My name is Xie Yu, and my mom calls me Youyou. I am three and a half years old and I am already a kindergarten student."
Xie Yu talked incessantly into the camera, leaving the cameraman speechless. Everyone else turned to look at them, charmed by the earnest little guy.
Xie Yu, who was talking to the camera, suddenly stopped when she heard footsteps behind her, turned around and saw Jiang Rou behind her.
His eyes lit up and shot towards Jiang Rou like a cannonball, while sweetly calling out, "Mommy."
Just as Xie Yu was about to run into her mother's arms, a large hand suddenly blocked her way, and she was picked up.
"Mommy, Mommy, I want Mommy to hold me."
Xie Yu struggled in Xie Nan's arms, but was held tightly by his merciless hands. She also heard her father's heartbreaking words: "You're almost forty pounds, Mom can't carry you anymore."
Xie Yu stopped struggling, but his affectionate actions towards Jiang Rou did not stop. He stretched out his body to get closer to Jiang Rou, cupped her face with his chubby little hands, and kissed her on the cheek.
"Youyou loves Mommy even more today," she said, making a little heart shape with her hands towards Jiang Rou and adding an overly sweet wink.
Jiang Rou was amused by his mischievous appearance, kissed his fair little face, and looked at him tenderly, saying, "Mommy loves Youyou even more now."
Xie Nan watched the interaction between the mother and son, her eyes filled with tenderness. Just as she was feeling a little moved, she heard her son in her arms making a fuss.
“Mom, from now on, Youyou will protect you. Youyou can sleep alone now, unlike Dad who still needs Mom to stay with him.” After saying that, she glanced at Xie Nan.
Xie Nan was annoyed by his son's words. The brat was always trying to compete with him for a wife and would say anything.
Seeing that Jiang Rou was already a little shy, Xie Nan reached out and covered the little dumpling's mouth, saying to Jiang Rou, "The food is ready, let's go eat."
Xie Yu looks like a soft and cute little dumpling, but she is actually an incredibly clever and cunning little devil who can talk to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way.
Grandma Jiang and Qin Nuan were also delighted by his sweet talk, and every time they saw him, they would call him their darling. They would miss him terribly if they didn't see him for two days.
Ms. Shen and Mr. Xie had also been relieved of their burdens a couple of years ago and bought a house near Jiang Rou and Xie Nan. They were even more heartbroken when they saw Xie Yu.
Unlike Xie Nan's taciturn nature, the little guy charmed the old couple, making them call him "my dear grandson."
The whole family spoils her without any limits. Fortunately, Xie Nan is there to play the bad cop, otherwise, Xie Yu would be so arrogant.
The show's first episode has already generated a huge response. Looking at Jiang Rou on camera, everyone couldn't help but sigh, "Time cannot defeat a beauty."
Jiang Rou, who is nearly thirty years old, looks like a young woman in her late twenties. Despite being in the entertainment industry for many years, her eyes are still as clean and clear as a child's, which shows the care and love of the person who cherishes her.
Xie Nan and Jiang Rou's love story has once again become a hot topic. Over the years, Xie Nan's company has gradually expanded, but he has never forgotten his original intentions. His private life is clean and pure, and all the stalker lovers outside are deterred by his ruthless methods and dare not pay any attention to him.
Seeing their idol's demeanor, Jiang Rou's fans also came to approve of her brother-in-law.
Xie Yu appeared on camera with his face covered, but his quirky and mischievous nature was still incredibly endearing. Everyone was amused by the stark contrast in his attitudes towards Jiang Rou and Xie Nan.
"Waaaaah, my Rou Rou is so beautiful, President Xie is so fierce, and You You is so cute."
Many fans commented that seeing their idol's happy life made them genuinely happy, and that their little girl should continue to live such a happy life.
Shen Qingxiu has never married over the years. He harbors a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he is unwilling to settle for anyone other than that person.
Of course, he was also well aware that the person never belonged to him, never stayed for him, and he could only watch her silently forever.
Shen Qingxiu turned off the video that was playing, and the image froze on the back of the family of three. He smiled slightly, but it was very bitter.
It's so good to see her so happy, even if that happiness wasn't given to her by him.
Xie Nan and Jiang Rou walked hand in hand through life, watching their elders pass away one by one, and watching Xie Yu grow up into a capable adult.
Xie Nan unloaded the burden from his shoulders and handed it over to him. Looking at his son, who was even taller than him, a hint of pride appeared in Xie Nan's eyes. This was his and A Rou's child.
Qin Nuan never married. She adopted a girl and raised her herself.
Xie Nan looked at Jiang Rou, who was still beautiful despite her gray hair, and said with the same gentle expression he had shown for ten years: "Arou, let's be together again in the next life."
Jiang Rou didn't answer the question, but simply nodded, reached out and took Xie Nan's arm, resting her head slightly on Xie Nan's shoulder, just like when she was a young girl.
