Xu Tingyu was woken up by Qi Ruixi's phone call.
She picked up the phone, and her hoarse voice startled herself.
On the other end of the line, Qi Ruixi burst into a rather ambiguous laugh. "It seems last night's time for just the two of you was really wonderful."
Yesterday, on her way home, she was told that she would be taken to another house.
Aunt Zhang would be waiting for her there.
She had drunk quite a bit at that time and refused to budge. She wanted to go back and snuggle up to her soft and sweet sister - in - law.
All she got in return was a cold warning from Qi Shifeng.
"Don't disturb our time for just the two of us."
Then she was mercilessly sent elsewhere.
But Aunt Zhang was really there. When she saw her, she immediately brought over a bowl of sobering soup. "Third Miss, drink this before going to sleep."
Only then did she realize that she wasn't the only one who had been driven away.
What did Qi Shifeng want to do after driving away all the third wheels?
She had been holding it in for the whole morning before making this phone call.
And her sister - in - law had just woken up. With that lazy and hoarse voice, what else could it be?
Xu Tingyu didn't know that there was no one at home last night. She thought they had been discovered and was immediately so ashamed that she became fully awake.
She could only play dumb. "What are you talking about? By the way, were you okay last night?"
Hearing this, Qi Ruixi got even more excited.
"My brother sent two guys who are one - meter - ninety tall. They stood behind me like door gods. No one dared to mess with me."
"However, my brother still loves me. He even transferred some pocket money to me. Sister - in - law, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Along with the "door gods" yesterday, there was also one million yuan in her account.
She was currently in a cold war with Liu Ning, so her "source of funds" was cut off. She was used to living extravagantly and had no savings.
So this one million yuan was really a timely help for her.
She secretly vowed that she would never call her brother a cold - blooded and ruthless god of death in her heart again.
No, she wouldn't even say it behind his back.
"I have a recording today. I'm not sure if I'll have time. I'll contact you then."
Xu Tingyu checked her memo. It was the recording for a new episode today.
"Is it the recording for *Masked Dancer*? Can I go with you?"
Qi Ruixi seemed to have remembered something and lowered her voice.
"By the way, isn't that scheming Xie in your show as a tutor?
"I saw her come to the company today. She must be up to no good with my brother again. No, I must go today."
"If she dares to pull any stunts during the show, I'll immediately show her what a sandbag - sized fist is."
Qi Ruixi was like a person pumped with adrenaline. She didn't even allow Xu Tingyu to refuse and just made the decision.
Xu Tingyu could only smile helplessly and didn't take it to heart.
After all, as long as Xie Yu wasn't crazy, she wouldn't do anything excessive in front of the cameras.
As for her going to see Qi Shifeng.
Xu Tingyu's eyes dimmed for a moment.
She had no right to interfere before, and now she had even less of a right.
She took a shower, changed her clothes, and when she came downstairs, she found Aunt Zhang preparing lunch.
When Aunt Zhang saw her come down, she immediately smiled and said, "Lunch is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
She remembered the madness of last night and felt a bit awkward. Her eyes couldn't help but look towards the sofa.
Thankfully, it was clean and there were no traces at all.
She breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the dining table.
"Madam, I have a friend who works as a nanny. Her employer is a very skilled traditional Chinese doctor. Do you think you'd like to make an appointment to go and see him?"
Aunt Zhang served her a bowl of soup and asked cautiously.
"What?"
Xu Tingyu was confused.
"That doctor is very good at conditioning women's bodies. If you're planning to have a baby, you need to get your body in good shape first."
"Otherwise, it won't be good for you. Having a baby is not easy for a woman."
Aunt Zhang explained carefully.
This morning when she was preparing breakfast for General Manager Qi, he suddenly gave her an address and asked her to go there to pick up some supplements.
Aunt Zhang could tell from his words that they were preparing for pregnancy.
While she was happy, she couldn't help but worry about Xu Tingyu.
She was too thin.
Moreover, her spirit hadn't been very good in the past few months. Just taking supplements wouldn't be enough.
She still needed to find a professional doctor to condition her body.
After Xu Tingyu understood what Aunt Zhang meant, she felt like digging a hole to hide in.
So, Aunt Zhang heard it last night too, right?
She was extremely embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Aunt Zhang. She just mumbled, "Let's talk about it later."
Sure enough, she shouldn't have let that shameless man do whatever he wanted.
Now it was good. Everyone knew how crazy they were last night.
After finally finishing lunch, she didn't even dare to stay for long and quickly left.
It wasn't until she got to the TV station that the flush on her face faded.
Then, when she was getting her makeup done, the makeup artist teased her, "Miss Xu, you must have a great relationship with your boyfriend."
Since she was so young, others just assumed she was in a relationship.
She was confused. When she looked into the mirror, her face flushed again.
On her beautiful swan - like neck, there were two hickies. The color wasn't very dark, but since she was so fair, they were very noticeable.
Qi Shifeng was not only shameless but also like a dog. He just loved to bite her!
She felt extremely ashamed in her heart, but on her face, she still pretended to be serious. "They're mosquito bites."
It was already late autumn. Where did the mosquitoes come from?
It was simply a blatant lie.
The makeup artist also laughed and didn't expose her. Instead, she just used concealer to cover them up.
After she finished getting her makeup done and changed her clothes, Sheng Man knocked on the door and came in.
"Senior sister, I'm thinking about whether we should adjust the last move."
It was a big taboo to adjust the moves right before going on stage.
Moreover, this was a duet dance.
Proposing an adjustment now might very well be considered as having ulterior motives.
However, Xu Tingyu knew his love and dedication to dance.
She just stood up and said, "Let's talk outside."
The dressing room wasn't very big, so they found an empty room with no one in it.
Sheng Man explained the reason why he wanted to make the modification.
"The theme of our dance is to still maintain hope after going through numerous difficulties."
"So, I think the last move should be me holding you on my shoulders."
But as soon as Xu Tingyu heard it, she immediately refused.
"This move is too dangerous. Without absolute understanding, both of us are likely to get injured."
"Moreover, I think a hug is more appropriate, which means that after going through the difficulties, we still hold hands and face everything together."
Sheng Man still insisted. "But a hug is too easy. Holding you up would be more challenging."
"Sheng Man, this is a dance, not a life - or - death situation. We can't use the difficulty level as the only criterion."
"For a move that seems simple to you, it's not easy to do it perfectly. You need to pour your emotions into it."
"If you're timid yourself, how can others be immersed in it?"
Although Xu Tingyu's tone was gentle, she was also very firm.
