YM778.TV Chapter 114 What is it about?
"I am going to decline that offer. I am fine with our collaboration and I am happy to help you with your album, but as much as possible, especially right now, I can’t take that offer." It will be too risky if she’ll go to different places for their shootings. She knows that anything can happen that’s why she wanted to be careful around her, especially now that she’s pregnant.
The doctor did tell her that the risk of having a miscarriage is higher during the first trimester. Xia Meilin will not take any chances to put her growing babies in danger.
Xiong Fan sighed. With Xia Meilin’s beauty, she was the perfect girl for his music video. "It would be nice if your fans can see you in the video itself. Do you don’t want to show up in the video?"
"Well... I can take the role of the dead fiance. There won’t be many scenes in it. One day would be enough to shoot her scenes but I will do it after I give birth. Going to different places for video shooting will be too risky for me. I am Lu Yifeng’s wife, please have that in mind." Xia Meilin turned and faced the piano.
"I see... so you’re actually pregnant." Xiong Fan couldn’t help but sigh at this.
She nodded. "Yes, that’s why I need to be careful." She looked at him. "We still have three songs to work on. It’s better if we can get it done as quick as possible. Though, I can’t meet you in the same day since I have to attend my son’s school activity that’s why we will have to move our appointment at the end of the week, is that okay?"
"You really prioritize your family, don’t you?"
"Mm, that’s why I’m willing to retire after this."
He chuckled. "Okay, I don’t mind our schedule being moved then."
A knock was heard and Dong Hua entered the studio, carrying the drinks they ordered. "Excuse me, here is your Caramel Apple Milkshake and Espresso."
"Thank you, uncle Dong Hua." Xia Meilin smiled as she accepted the milkshake.
"Thanks." Xiong Fan accepted his Espresso.
"If you need anything else, please let me know. I will just be standing outside with Zhao Junxu." He left them thereafter.
Xiong Fan took a sip on his drink before he stared at Xia Meilin. She was really a beauty, it is too sad that she is actually married to a fearful man or else he would have made a move on her. With his looks and perfect body, Xiong Fan was positive that he will be able to seduce Xia Meilin. But he can’t take the risk of going against Lu Yifeng since he values his work and reputation more. "Being married to Lu Yifeng, how is he as a husband?"
Xia Meilin smiled at his question, "He’s the best."
He raised an eyebrow, "A man like him? Aren’t you scared of him?"
She shook her head before taking a sip on her drink. After that, she stared down on the ring around her finger. "Why would I be? He’s the man who makes me feel the safest when he’s with me."
"I guess he does show you a side where he never shows others." Just by seeing how gentle her face became when she looked at the wedding ring around her finger, Xiong Fan was able to tell the affection Xia Meilin has for Lu Yifeng.
"If you are still single now, I could have pursued you." He said honestly. "
"Don’t push your luck. I will dump you in an instant." She laughed lightly. She placed her drink aside before she took the piece. "Anyway, break time is over. Let’s continue on where we left off. I think we should change this part a bit."
While they continued on working on with the songs, Xia Meilin’s phone started ringing.
"Ah, please excuse me." Xia Meilin took her phone and looked at the caller, it was her brother. She went out of the room before she answered the call. "Hello?"
"Xiao Mei, are you free today?" Xia Sinian’s gentle voice was heard from the other line.
"I’m currently working. Why do you ask, Sinian-ge?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to check on you. Anyway, I was planning to visit our grandparents this coming weekend, do you want to come with me?"
"Sure, I would love that. Xiao Gua will definitely love to see grandma and grandpa as well."
"You should bring Lu Yifeng too. I want to talk to him about something." He said seriously.
"What is it about?" Xia Meilin couldn’t help but be curious about it.
"It will be a talk between men, a girl shouldn’t butt in." He chuckled. "Xiao Mei... do you still want to destroy him?"
The smile on Xia Meilin’s face disappeared, "No, I don’t. I know that... Lu Yifeng and I didn’t have a good start but he’s not what we think he is, gege. He’s been treating me really well, my husband is a good man."
Xia Sinian became quiet for a while. Back then when he saw his sister in Little Melon’s birthday party, he saw how Xia Meilin stared at Lu Yifeng. It already gave him the idea that she might have fallen for him already. If she was able to fall in love with him, then Lu Yifeng must be treating her well. Today, he got that confirmation.
"Sinian-ge? Are you still there? "
He snapped out from his thoughts before he answered, "I’m here."
"I know that you’re still wary of him but I’m the one who’s been living with him in the same roof. I was able to know the real him, he’s someone we can trust, gege."
Xia Sinian sighed, "Okay. Anyway, how is Xiao Gua? Is he doing well in school?"
"Oh my, the last time I checked, you didn’t like my son. What made you like him now, gege?" Xia Meilin couldn’t help but be curious about his change of attitude towards Little Melon.
"What do you mean I don’t like him? Who wouldn’t like a kid?"
"You."
"What rubbish! Xiao Gua is a part of the Xia family and he’s my nephew, why would I not like him?"
"You made him cry once, you told me that you don’t like-"
"Who made him cry? Who doesn’t like him? I’ll beat him up!"
"..." Did her brother hit his head somewhere? "I’m going to end that call now, I still have work to do."
"Xiao Mei."
"Yes?"
"I’m sorry if I’ve placed my anger to your son back then." He said in almost a whispering tone but since the phone was close to him, Xia Meilin was able to hear it.
"You should go beat yourself up. You made him cry. I can’t believe that you’re blaming an innocent child back then, he’s still my son you know."
"I know... That’s why I’m apologizing."
"If you want to apologize to someone, you should apologize to Xiao Gua."
"I already did." He chuckled a bit. "In return, he wants me to teach him how to swim. I’ll continue our lesson this weekend."
"Ah, yes. I remember Xiao Gua telling me that when he visited our grandparents with mommy Ji Ruo. Oh well, since my son has forgiven you, why shouldn’t I? We’re now in good terms so let’s not think about the past, okay?"
"Okay."
"Well then, I should get-"
"Xiao Mei." Xia Sinian cut her off.
Xia Meilin grunted at this, "What is it now?"
"I love you."
Xia Meilin was surprised by her brother’s words. He rarely says those words to her that’s why she couldn’t help but warm up when he did. She smiled happily at this. "I know. I love you too, brother."
