"What do you mean, winning the lottery?" Su Yu took a piece of orange and ate it with relish.
"Yeah, I noticed Yan Yu's stomach hasn't shown any signs. Is it because your body hasn't recovered? Should we go for a check-up?"
Zhang Guizhi cleared her throat and asked tentatively.
Su Yu had been frail since he was young. Now that he had been with Lin Yan Yu for so long, they had already shared a bed.
Logically, there should have been some development. That's why Zhang Guizhi brought up the question. She was worried that Su Yu might have some hidden chronic illness due to his childhood sickness.
"Ahem..." Su Yu almost choked on the orange.
So that's what his mother meant by winning the lottery!
Su Yu thought it was about buying lottery tickets or something.
"We shouldn't avoid illness. If there's a problem, we should go to the hospital to treat it. We have money now, unlike before when we couldn't even afford medicine," Zhang Guizhi whispered comfortingly.
"Mom!" Su Yu finally recovered. He took a tissue and wiped his mouth. "We're not even married yet, how could she be pregnant? Besides, we're both public figures!"
He and Lin Yan Yu were always very careful.
After all, they were both public figures. If she got pregnant before marriage, it would likely cause a huge public outcry.
"So, your body is fine?" Zhang Guizhi was slightly taken aback.
"My body has been fine for a long time!" Su Yu said impatiently.
"Haha, that's good. I was just too anxious. We'll talk about having a baby after you get married. Once you're married, have the baby, and Mom will help you take care of it," Zhang Guizhi said, her worried expression disappearing after hearing that Su Yu was fine.
She patted Su Yu on the shoulder and said to him in the universal tone of all mothers.
"After rushing us to get married, now you're rushing us to have kids?" Su Yu's eyes twitched wildly.
"What else? While Mom and Dad are still young and can help you with the children, the more the merrier. You and Yan Yu are both so good-looking, your children are bound to be excellent. You don't know, Sister Zhao from the building next door, her daughter-in-law just had triplets, and she's so happy she can't close her mouth, showing off at the square dance group every day..."
Once Zhang Guizhi started talking, she couldn't stop.
Su Yu knew her personality well, so he lay on the sofa, eating fruit and listening to her chatter.
He didn't get impatient like others because he cherished the time spent with his parents. It was a unique warmth of home.

The premiere of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was approaching.
The drama took only half a month from the announcement of its production to its release.
It had to be said that audiences were very interested in this mode of broadcast.
This method of simultaneous broadcast and filming, though common overseas, was quite novel in the domestic entertainment industry.
The day before the premiere.
Tencent Video even footed the bill and organized a premiere event for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
Inviting actors and the director team to watch the premiere of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" with everyone.
There was even a theme song performance.
#Ting Yu's new song will debut at 8 PM tonight at the premiere of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"!#
#Starry Entertainment officially released news of the new song, which will be sung by the newly crowned king of singers, Zhang Wei!#
#The cast of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is unprecedentedly luxurious, featuring the strongest newcomers Shen Qingfeng and Zhang Yang!#
#The Jiangnan film and television teams collaborate for the first time. "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" may become the highest standard TV drama in the domestic entertainment industry, bar none!#
The news that had previously captured the audience's attention was all revealed on the eve of the premiere.
It instantly caused many netizens to cheer.
Similarly, Ting Yu's new songs seemed to have become a standard for Jiangnan's new dramas. In the months when Ting Yu was inactive, audiences most looked forward to Jiangnan's new dramas.
Because with new dramas came new songs.
In the entire domestic entertainment industry, the only one who could make Ting Yu release a new song was none other than Jiangnan.
"These two must have some undisclosed deal!"
"This time Ting Yu's new song is by Zhang Wei, I thought it would be Gong Ju Ren again!"
"I can basically guess the genre of the new song, it's definitely a Cantonese song!"
"Zhang Wei is also very good at Mandarin!"
"As a fan of both Ting Yu and Jiangnan, I'm simply too happy. I'm looking forward to Ting Yu's new song and the premiere of 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'!"
With the support of Ting Yu's fans, and Jiangnan's many drama fans in the film industry, the popularity of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was naturally very high.
On the internet, besides discussions about Ting Yu's new song.
Another topic was also among the top trending searches, with explosive popularity!
"The film and television teams are collaborating for the first time, so who is the male lead between Zhang Yang and Shen Qingfeng, and who is the second male lead?"
"I guess it's Shen Qingfeng. After all, it's a TV drama. Zhang Yang is the king of film, but Shen Qingfeng is the king of TV dramas."
"I don't think so. Zhang Yang's acting range is wider than Shen Qingfeng's. Since Jiangnan has him acting in a TV drama this time, he must be aiming for the lead role!"
"Is it possible that Jiangnan's new drama this time has two male leads?"
"The probability of two male leads is very high. With Jiangnan's skill, he should be able to handle two male leads without any problem!"
"Come to think of it, I'm even more looking forward to it!"
Since Shen Qingfeng and Zhang Yang had both played male leads in television and film respectively, there was much speculation online about who would be the male lead.
However, the most convincing theory was that it would be a dual male lead.
Generally speaking, ordinary screenwriters or authors, if they can bring one male lead to life, it's already very impressive. Few people dare to challenge dual male leads, as it's easy to mess up the plot if the balance isn't maintained.
"No wonder 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' chose the format of filming while broadcasting. The old fox Jiangnan must feel that he can't handle it well and wants to modify it based on audience reactions!"
Someone concluded.
Many netizens also agreed.
The format of filming while broadcasting was similar to online novel updates. Some plot points and character designs could refer to readers' ideas, and then modify the subsequent plot, which was relatively stable.
Finally.
Amidst all the discussions.
The "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" premiere, planned by Tencent Video, officially began!
For this promotion, Tencent Video had spared no expense, even inviting Lin Han, the current king of hosts, to be the host.
"Thank you everyone for watching the premiere of 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' tonight. This drama has been highly discussed online since Ting Yu announced it at the Times Music Awards. I believe everyone has been looking forward to this drama for a long time!"
Since it was a live broadcast in a chatroom format, there was no audience in the studio. Lin Han interacted with the audience in the live stream, and the audience's bullet comments would appear on the big screen from time to time.
However, what was unexpected was that the audience wasn't just sending bullet comments about "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," they were also spamming his memes!
As everyone knows, memes were the foundation of Lin Han's fame, but they were also his dark history. Facing the audience directly sending his memes made Lin Han's face gradually become embarrassed.
He coughed twice and directly entered the formal segment.
"I believe everyone is very much looking forward to the stills from this drama. So, next, I will reveal the first actor stills from 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.' Please look at the big screen!"
After Lin Han finished speaking, a poster appeared on the big screen.
The poster featured some very familiar actors.
Shen Qingfeng, Zhang Yang, the Qin sisters, Li Xinyan...
However, when they saw that the center position was occupied by the Wu Ying-level actor Wu Xingyang,
Many viewers were shocked!
