Ling Qianhe held Lin Mucui for the entire night.
Lin Mucui was woken up by the birds chirping in the village the next morning.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Ling Qianhe standing beside her and was slightly startled.
Mainly, the expectation in Qianhe’s eyes was so strong!
“What’s wrong?”
He asked Lin Mucui, his eyes innocent and pure.
“If we sleep together, will you have my baby?”
“The adults in the village say that when men and women sleep together, they have babies.”
“Since we slept together, you will have my baby in your belly, right?”
His eyes were full of certainty.
Looking at Lin Mucui, it was as if this was already a foregone conclusion deep in his heart.
Hearing Ling Qianhe say this, Lin Mucui almost choked.
She coughed desperately, feeling as if her windpipe was about to be choked.
“Who…who told you?”
The boy with messy hair grinned again.
He smiled happily.
“The adults in the village told me!”
“They wouldn’t lie, what they say must be true!”
“You will definitely have my baby.”
“Just like Sister Zhang next door! Your belly will be big!”
Lin Mucui: “…”
She really wanted to get angry and hit him twice on the head.
Was he addicted to acting?
What a big belly—nonsense.
She and Ling Qianhe stared at each other, annoyed and helpless. Just then, a staff member pushed the door open, intending to let the photographer continue today’s shoot.
Upon suddenly seeing strangers intruding,
Ling Qianhe abruptly stood up and stumbled forward to block her.
Then he looked at them with wary eyes.
He spoke.
“You–”
“You bunch of bad guys!”
“I want to protect my wife!”
“She has my baby in her belly!”
“Don’t come closer, don’t come near!”
The crew members were also stunned.
Everyone dared not move. After a while, producer He Yunru came over—she seemed a little surprised, and a faint smile touched her lips.
“Xiao Ci? You’re pregnant? Really, in reality?”
“Is that why he’s so nervous?”
Lin Mucui felt a headache.
What was all this about, it was impossible to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
She looked up helplessly at He Yunru opposite her and rubbed her temples.
“No–”
“It’s not like he said.”
“He’s crazy… talking nonsense.”
The boy beside her suddenly looked up and grabbed her shoulder.
But he seemed afraid of hurting her, so he
quickly retracted his hand.
He mumbled under his breath.
“I’m not talking nonsense. I know, you must be carrying my baby!”
His gaze was exceptionally certain and firm as he said to Lin Mucui.
“We slept together last night! We lay on the same bed!”
Lin Mucui’s headache worsened.
This guy, have some shame!
She suspected Ling Qianhe was still pretending to be foolish, but she had no proof, and her system was broken, preventing her from knowing if this guy was deliberately messing with her under the guise of acting.
The staff opposite also noticed something was wrong and instantly understood.
Ling Qianhe was still immersed in the role.
He hadn’t come out of it yet.
He hadn’t detached from the character.
The photographer continued to set up the equipment, ignoring him. He had been making noise earlier,
but now he didn’t care anymore.
He just stared at Lin Mucui eagerly, then like a big dog, kept nuzzling her, his tone as if he were acting spoiled.
“What do you want to eat?”
“I’ll buy it at the market.”
“They say a bride needs to replenish her body well.”
“I have money! I can also go to work to earn money…”
“I’ll go work in the mine…”
The equipment was set up, and in the lens, Ling Qianhe looked at Lin Mucui with unwavering, infatuated eyes.
That stubbornness was clear even through the lens.
Lin Mucui sat there, pursing her lips. She knew this was filming,
but she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
“There’s no need to suffer so much.”
“You’re still a child.”
But the boy opposite smiled foolishly.
“But I’m already married, I’m an adult now. I want to protect you… I want to earn money to support you.”
Due to his illness, he had not attended school for many days, and his education was limited. He kept repeating these few sentences, but they contained his burning heart.
Lin Mucui was silent for a moment. She extended her finger and slowly brushed across his handsome jawline. He looked up in confusion, then squinted and smiled.
His brows were clear.
His features were exquisite.
It was just a pity he was foolish.
“Stay with me forever. We pinky-promised!”
…
Ling Qianhe only reluctantly let her go when Lin Mucui said she was going to sew him some clothes and buy some fabric in the village. This scene was considered over. She stood outside, looked back, and saw Ling Qianhe still standing there foolishly, as if waiting for her. When he saw her turn back,
his eyes immediately lit up, and he waved at her frantically.
He was extremely excited.
She turned away and walked towards the neighbor’s house, then asked the producer beside her.
“Have you found a suitable child actor?”
There was also a child actor with a very important role in this movie.
In the plot, the child was not her own but was born to a woman who was abducted in the village. After the woman died, she secretly took the child and raised him as her own.
At that time, the household registration system was not very perfect and was not strictly checked. Miraculously, she managed to bring him to the big city, got him registered, and lied that he was her child.
She raised him.
While studying herself, she raised this child, but she raised an ungrateful wretch. The child, after growing up, looked down on her.
Knowing that he could have inherited the mine in the village, he resented her even more for taking him out of the village.
To live such a poor and miserable life with her.
He hated her!
He hated the protagonist, Meng Dongqing!
He felt that the protagonist had ruined his wealth and glory.
This role was a little boy.
But because he had several intense argument scenes with Lin Mucui, the acting requirements were very high. After all, Lin Mucui was an award-winning actress.
Although she debuted as an idol,
her acting in several films had been recognized.
Finding a little boy who could completely match her performance was not easy.
It was precisely because of this that the casting of this little boy had been a headache for the producer.
However, He Yunru glanced at Lin Mucui.
Her tone was very certain.
Lin Mucui heard He Yunru say.
“Found him!”
Lin Mucui was a little surprised and very curious.
“Is he a child star?”
He Yunru smiled.
“He’s your little fan. But his acting is indeed very good, which is why we chose him.”
“We’ve already sent a car to pick him up. His scenes in the village are not many. The part where you struggle to work with him is later. We mainly want you two to have more time to bond before filming.”
Lin Mucui nodded.
A new child actor?
Would his acting be good?
