My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1366 Red Envelope Three

He didn't know why he was laughing.

But seeing Zhang Yi prick him and laugh happily, he also found it quite funny. Laughing, Yuan Hong looked down at his daughter from his ex-wife's previous marriage. The little girl was quite pretty, even prettier than his own daughter.

The main reason is his ex-wife's background.

His daughter has fair skin, but his ex-wife's daughter has even fairer skin. Judging from her facial features, she'll definitely be a little beauty when she grows up.

He bent down and kissed the little girl's cheek, then reached out and pinched her cheek. He heard his ex-wife's voice in his ear, saying, "I heard from Zhang You before that your girlfriend was pregnant, and I was thinking that if I had a child from a different family than yours, we could become in-laws or something."

"..."

Yuan Hong's lips twitched slightly a few times.

He knew his ex-wife was trying to provoke him again.

What "in-laws"? Although they had children from their divorce and were not related by blood, it was not a big deal. However, Yuan Hong did not say this out loud.

He couldn't win an argument with Zhang Yi before, and he definitely still can't win an argument after the divorce.

However, Yuan Hong could clearly feel that he had a lot more inner strength when facing Zhang Yi. For example, not long ago, when she stabbed him several times, he was not angry at all, but felt that this was how it should be.

As for the changes in his ex-wife, he had noticed them. At the last Golden City Awards ceremony, he thought his ex-wife was nominated for Best Supporting Actress and would attend, so he took a special look. However, he did not expect that she would directly ask Zhang You to help her attend.

So this was the first time they had met since their divorce.

Perhaps because it had been a year since they last met, Zhang Yi had changed noticeably. Although her personality remained the same, her eyes... held a softness that was previously absent. She was also a little heavier than a year ago, which was quite normal; almost every woman gains weight during pregnancy and childbirth. After looking at the child in his arms for a while, Yuan Hong asked, "What's your daughter's name?!"

Zhang Wangshu

Zhang Yi countered, "Which one of yours?!"

"Yuan Yuan, her nickname is Yuanyuan."

Yuan Hong replied, then asked, "Are you alright?"

"Lack of money"

Zhang Yi smiled and uttered two words.

"..."

Yuan Hong was taken aback, then laughed twice, saying, "Stop jabbing me, okay? We're divorced, and you're still short of money... Don't think I don't know you and Zhang You bought a lot of Tianyu Entertainment stock and made a lot of money, and you also invested in 'The Palace Chronicles' with Zhang You. I estimate your personal assets are higher than mine now, so stop pretending to be poor in front of me."

"I thought if I said that, you'd give me some money! Yuan Hong, you're getting a bit stingy these days."

Zhang Yi said unhappily.

"I have to be frugal!"

Yuan Hong smiled and said, "I only took on one role this year."

"The spy thriller co-invested by Zhang You and EE-Media, right!?"

Before Yuan Hong could answer, Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Then act well. Your acting talent is higher than mine. If this movie is successful, you'll directly enter the film industry. Then... you'll make up for the money you didn't earn this year later."

"I know"

Yuan Hong nodded.

Knowing this, he decided to finish filming the TV series he was working on, which didn't involve much screen time, and then study the script of "The Spy" at home. He even watched some of the previous works of the award-winning actor Jin Kai at home these past two days, hoping that he wouldn't be overshadowed when the two acted together.

The TV screen is ultimately too small.

Movies are the ultimate goal for actors.

He watched the movie "The Spy" many times at home during the Chinese New Year. The more he watched it, the more he felt that the script was of high quality. Moreover, after his agency learned that he had received an invitation from Zhang You for his next project, they also asked him to focus his energy on this movie.

Zhang You wrote the screenplay and invested in the film, and now... he doesn't even know how to put it. Three films in a row have become hits, with "Crazy Stone" showing even more momentum than "The Truman Show." After several days of continuous release, over 100,000 moviegoers gave the film five-star reviews. Although the rating has dropped slightly, an 8.8 for a comedy film is still very high.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Hong looked up at his ex-wife sitting across from him and asked, "Is it really IVF?!"

"Artificial"

Zhang Yi replied.

"..."

Yuan Hong was speechless again.

He knew that asking such a question would inevitably provoke his ex-wife, but he really wanted to know. After all... the reason he and his daughter did a paternity test was partly out of caution, and partly because Yuan Hong was worried that his ex-wife had misdiagnosed him all before, and that he was the one who actually had the problem.

Anything can happen in modern society.

No matter how absurd or bizarre, it always comes from various angles. After a slight hesitation, Yuan Hong still earnestly said, "I want to know the truth."

The truth is, you're incompetent.

Zhang Yi answered without hesitation.

"I……"

Yuan Hong regretted coming today.

He thought that he and Zhang Yi had a peaceful divorce. Although there were some unpleasantness between them during the divorce due to his suspicions, he did not hide anything from Zhang Yi when it came to the division of property. He gave her everything he could, so he thought that they would chat like old friends when they met again.

The result was that his ex-wife kept stabbing him in the chest with needles. Yuan Hong didn't know which of her words were true and which were false. Most likely, she was just trying to provoke him.

Shaking his head helplessly, Yuan Hong said, "Since you don't want to talk about it, then I won't ask. Just take care of yourself..."

"It's none of your business."

Before Yuan Hong could finish speaking, Zhang Yi interrupted him, saying seriously, "You should mind your own business. I'm an outsider now, so some things I say might not be appropriate. But I still have to remind you: keep your money safe. Don't be foolish and hand it all over. Be careful, or you'll end up losing everything and becoming a laughingstock."

"Then why did you make me hand over all the money in the first place?!"

Yuan Hong finally seized an opportunity and asked a question in return.

"I was happy."

Zhang Yi replied directly.

Yuan Hong was speechless. Before the divorce, his ex-wife was like this. After the divorce, Yuan Hong thought she would change, but she was still the same. He guessed she would never change in this lifetime.

No one can make her change.

However, despite this, he was unaware of the small expenses of the money he handed over to Zhang Yi, but he was generally aware of the large expenses. Zhang Yi never hid how much money they had, which was why the division of property during the divorce was completed so quickly.

After sitting for a while, Yuan Hong handed the little girl he had been holding back to his ex-wife. Looking at the sleeping little girl, Yuan Hong felt a pang of regret.

Almost.

Then we can make it to the end.

It's all because of this little girl.

Why did it have to come so soon, right after the two got divorced? Life is sometimes more unpredictable than a movie. Not long after Yuan Hong left, Zhang Yi pulled a rolled-up red envelope from her daughter's sleeve.

No need to guess.

She knew it was Yuan Hong who slipped it in.

Upon opening it, they found a check inside, containing a staggering two million.
