The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 412 Are you two-timing?
"If you can't drink, then don't drink. Look at the state you're in now," said Fan Bingbing as she helped Xu Jiuyang back to his bedroom.

"There was no way, your dad wanted me to... wanted me to drink, otherwise he wouldn't let me... take his daughter away..." Xu Jiuyang spoke fairly fluently, but he was somewhat dizzy.

"Whether he can take it or not, is that up to him?" Little Fan rolled his eyes and helped him lie down on the bed.

"That's true, but we should still give him some face. After all... he's your dad." Xu Jiuyang rubbed his forehead.

"Now that you're starting to talk like a human, I might as well just keep getting you drunk from now on." Little Fan muttered to himself, then took off his shoes and socks, went to the bathroom to fetch a basin of hot water, and came back kneeling on the floor to wipe him with a towel.

Xu Jiuyang groaned comfortably, then frowned and turned to look at her: "What are you doing?"

Fan Bingbing paused for a moment, then realized her current position, but remained calm, coughed lightly, and said, "Fulfilling the duties of a wife... a girlfriend."

"Really?" Xu Jiuyang squinted.

"Please, Xu, you know what the situation is like right now. If I don't put on this act, how can my parents look up to you?" Little Fan scolded again. "If my parents give you a hard time, you'll take it out on me."

"Didn't you tell them that Li Yunxin and Angela were also pursuing me?" Xu Jiuyang coughed lightly.

"That's why I have to do this. Otherwise, what advantage do I have over them?" Fan Bingbing got angrier and angrier as she spoke. "Outside, I'm a national idol, the owner of a film and television company and a game company, and I'm practically a capitalist. But in front of you? I'm just a well-behaved, obedient, and docile little puppy."

She even deliberately dragged out the last three words.

“How could that be?” Xu Jiuyang coughed again. “No matter what, Fan is a fox, how could he be a puppy?”

"That's a canine, for crying out loud." Little Fan rolled her eyes dramatically.

“It’s different,” Xu Jiuyang said earnestly. “Look, scholars have always said that those who can bewitch the king are fox spirits, but no one says they are dog spirits.”

"In the end, he's just not human." Little Fan rolled her eyes again, wiping his face with a towel. "Alright, you should go to sleep now. You'll be accompanying our family to visit various tourist attractions in the next few days."

"Is it really necessary?" Xu Jiuyang immediately sighed.

"I'm so sorry, honey, we're home now, so these are the must-try things." Little Fan snorted and picked up the basin of water to go into the bathroom.

As soon as the door closed, she put down what she was holding, clutched her chest, took a deep breath, and then punched the air twice.

"Are you out of your mind? How many times have I told you not to provoke him for no reason!" Little Fan sighed inwardly, clutching her head.

The aftereffects of that afternoon have not fully healed yet.

And this time... well, as long as he's around, even if I know rationally what I should do, my body won't obey me. If I get distracted even slightly, I'll automatically run to his side and act like a little woman, just like before.

"It's okay...it's okay...it will be fine soon. Learn from this lesson and don't repeat it next time!" After encouraging herself for a while, Fan Bingbing finally came out of the bathroom.

Looking at the dog-man on the bed, there was only slight breathing; he was clearly asleep.

Little Fan walked over, looked down at him for a long time, and then, feeling a little unsatisfied, squatted down and looked at him from the side.

Then, she chuckled as if she had just thought of something, and quickly covered her mouth.

Thankfully, the scoundrel wasn't woken up. After muttering a few words, he went back to sleep.

Little Fan stuck out her tongue, unable to resist, and leaned in to give him a light kiss on the cheek. Then she covered her mouth triumphantly and laughed, her eyes crinkling with laughter. But a few seconds later, she realized what she had done, let out a silent groan, and turned to run into the bathroom.

What a mess! Can't we stop trying to conquer ourselves?!

Xu Jiuyang felt that the trip to Qingdao was generally okay; at least Fan's parents didn't make things difficult for him, although their gazes were somewhat strange.

I imagine that, besides the fact that she was being pursued by both Lee Yoon-hyung and Angela at the same time, she also said something else to her parents, which was probably quite exaggerated.

Although he was curious and worried about being called Red Boy or something, since Fan Bingbing hadn't told him directly, he had no choice but to keep quiet. They needed to respect each other's privacy.

After that, she and her parents spent a few more days traveling in Shandong Province with him. They visited the Confucius Temple and the Weifang Kite Museum. They had originally planned to go to Mount Tai to watch the sunrise, but the weather was too cold, and it wouldn't be good if she were recognized.

The Confucius Temple and the Kite Museum weren't crowded, and Fan Bingbing managed to sneak in after some disguise. As for Mount Tai, even though the weather was cold, there were still quite a few people climbing the mountain.

The same goes for Baotu Spring. Even though the people of Jinan are used to seeing it, they still go back to browse around from time to time. So this trip was somewhat anticlimactic.

However, this was just right for Xu Jiuyang, because no matter how you looked at it, his relationship with Fan Bingbing seemed strange.

They're definitely not lovers, and it's hard to say whether they're couples, but it doesn't seem like it's just a purely sexual relationship either.

After all, if she really runs into trouble, I will definitely help her.

Besides, he wasn't completely shameless; he felt somewhat uncomfortable in front of other people's parents, especially since they were always very polite to him, even though they didn't particularly approve of him.

Therefore, taking a road trip together across Shandong Province is sufficient to provide adequate explanation, and that should suffice.

However, what Xu Jiuyang didn't expect was that something even more unsettling was yet to come, to be precise, half a month later.

"Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I'm Fan Bingbing." After getting out of the rented Hongqi car, Fan Bingbing greeted her mother with a smile and a slight bow.

The mother was clearly stunned for a moment, then looked at her son as he got out of the driver's seat with a questioning expression, her face full of confusion.

"Mom, this is my girlfriend, Xiao Yanzi." Xu Jiuyang tried his best to appear calm.

“Little…Little Swallow?!” It took Mom several minutes to understand the meaning of this nickname. She forced a smile and greeted Fan Bingbing, and even tried to help her with her luggage.

However, after she slightly refused, her mother didn't insist anymore, clearly not having fully grasped the situation yet.

When Dad came out and was also stunned by Fan Bingbing, Mom asked Xu Jiuyang anxiously in a low voice, "What happened? Where's Yuanyuan?"

It's clear that although Mom usually adores Xiao Yanzi, she still thinks Gao Yuanyuan is more suitable to be her daughter-in-law.

"Of course we broke up," Xu Jiuyang replied somewhat helplessly.

"Why did you break up?" Mom asked, puzzled, then frowned. "You wouldn't be...?"

"I promise, we broke up amicably," Xu Jiuyang quickly interrupted. "Don't worry, Yuanyuan and I are still on good terms. If you're really worried, I'll have her write you a letter or make a phone call after we get back from the New Year, okay?"

My mother hesitated for a moment, then finally lowered her voice to the lowest level: "Tell me honestly, are you two-timing?"
