The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 418 Guessing Halfway

“Sister Yuanyuan, you don’t have the final say in this matter.” Xu Jiuyang grabbed Gao Yuanyuan’s hand. “The child is yours and mine. As a father, I can’t let him be an illegitimate child.”

He gently patted the back of her hand and said, "Listen to me, take your ID card to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow. It just so happens that I recently got my Beijing household registration. It's fate."

"Xiao Yang..." Gao Yuanyuan called out, her tone filled with emotion, yet also conflicted.

She glanced at Li Xiaoran and Zhang Yin, then stood up: "Let's go to the study to talk."

“Okay.” Xu Jiuyang did not refuse.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiaoran became anxious and jumped up, saying, "What can't you say in front of me and Yinyin?"

“No,” Gao Yuanyuan turned around and smiled, “Yinyin, stop her.”

"Oh," Zhang Yin replied, and immediately gave Li Dabai a tight hug.

Li Dabai struggled twice but couldn't break free. He glared angrily at Zhang Yin and demanded, "Whose side are you on?!"

“I’m standing next to Sister Yuanyuan,” Zhang Yin replied with a grin.

"I'm so angry!" Li Xiaoran stomped her feet and yelled angrily.

The two who entered the study didn't say anything more and went straight to the point.

“Xiaoyang, you know, if we… if we really do that, they will definitely object?” Gao Yuanyuan said with a sigh.

"Sister Yuanyuan, do you want to marry me?" Xu Jiuyang asked in return.

“When I told you I wanted a child, I was actually saying that marriage was… optional.” Gao Yuanyuan’s eyes flickered.

“Then I’ll take it as a yes,” Xu Jiuyang said, not giving her a chance to be ambiguous. “In that case, they should come up with a solution or compensation plan; it has nothing to do with us.”

"What if they disagree?" Gao Yuanyuan's lips curled slightly.

“This is not negotiable,” Xu Jiuyang shook his head. “This is a fundamental issue, not on the negotiating table.”

As he spoke, he walked over, helped Gao Yuanyuan up, and had her sit on his lap, then gently rubbed her lower abdomen.

“No matter what, as long as there are no unavoidable factors, this little guy should have a father.” Xu Jiuyang said this very seriously, and quickly added, “Yes, a very formal one.”

He had already been considering this matter since Gao Yuanyuan expressed her desire to have a child.

Yangyang is very cute, but I never got to see her born, which is always a regret.

Xu Jiuyang had no children before his rebirth. After his rebirth, he only planned to have a child and leave it to his parents to take care of, so as not to affect his free life.

However, plans never keep up with changes. After Yangyang was born and grew up to be the well-behaved child he is today, he began to feel a little uneasy.

Putting everything else aside, having to sneak around to see my own daughter, finding the time, and not being able to introduce her to others—it all feels a bit unpleasant.

So, after Gao Yuanyuan expressed her desire to have a child, he had certain thoughts, and now the unexpected pregnancy has given him an even stronger push.

Gao Yuanyuan chuckled, then remained silent for a moment before resting her head on Xu Jiuyang's shoulder: "Actually, we both know how to solve this problem, right?"

"Well..." The man was slightly embarrassed.

He certainly knew what Sister Yuanyuan meant; it was actually quite simple, nothing more than constantly getting married and divorced.

For example, after Sister Yuanyuan gave birth, Fan was about to get pregnant, so he went to get a divorce certificate from Sister Yuanyuan and then got a marriage certificate with Fan.

That's pretty much it.

In fact, all you need to consider is getting a marriage certificate with Fan. Li Yunxin and Angela are both international, so this kind of thing is difficult to handle.

Moreover, according to Xu Jiuyang's judgment, only Li Yunxin would be conflicted; Angela probably wouldn't care at all.

He was half right. “If it’s voluntary, then I have no objection, but I demand compensation,” Angela said casually in the private room of the club.

"Do you know what you're talking about!"

"What compensation is there for this?"

Two voices rang out simultaneously. Fan Bingbing was naturally exasperated, while Gao Yuanyuan was displeased.

"What's going on with them?" Liu Qianqian, observing the situation, asked her external brain as always.

Yang Mi rolled her eyes and sighed, but didn't directly belittle her like before, clearly having gotten used to it.

However, before she could speak, Liu Qianqian added, "I know that others feel it's unfair to everyone if he marries Sister Yuanyuan, so it's normal for Angela to want to compensate them."

Yang Mi did not answer, but instead squinted at Liu Qianqian.

Liu Qianqian raised her chin defiantly: "I'm not stupid, I can think too."

However, Da Mimi still snorted disdainfully in silence, and then explained in a low voice: "Because it's very simple. First of all, Angela is too strong. If we compensate her, it will further widen the gap between us. Secondly, this matter is just difficult to solve, not impossible to solve."

Liu Qianqian frowned, muttered to herself a few times, and then asked softly, "I think Angela is quite easy to get along with, it shouldn't be like this..."

"What do you think?" Yang Mi asked directly.

"Hmm..." Liu Qianqian chuckled awkwardly, then subtly pouted, seemingly still somewhat unconvinced.

"Alright," Da Mimi sighed, "In short, this has nothing to do with us, so let's just enjoy the show."

However, Liu Qianqian objected: "How can it not be related!"

"What's wrong? You don't mean you want to..." Yang Mi chuckled, about to give her a good scolding, when she suddenly realized something and her eyes widened: "You...you wouldn't be..."

“Yes,” Liu Qianqian nodded vigorously, “Yangyang will be 4 years old soon, and she will start primary school in two years. When her teachers and classmates ask her what her father does, how will Yangyang answer?”

"This..." Yang Mi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that she had no idea what to say.

After a long pause, she finally managed to say, "I'm afraid neither he nor Auntie... will agree."

"Why?" Liu Qianqian asked, puzzled.

How would I know… Yang Mi rolled her eyes. She just said it offhand, why did you take it seriously?

In a moment of inspiration, she immediately added, "What I mean is, since Auntie is currently hiding behind the scenes, wouldn't doing this expose everything?"

"Um... I forgot about that..." Liu Qianqian said with an apologetic smile.

Meanwhile, the four people on the other side temporarily set aside their disputes on some issues, but continued to tug at each other's throats on others.

“Let’s not talk about our situation for now, but what if someone else is pregnant? We all know what everyone has done!” Fan Bingbing took the lead again.

“They are them, and we are us. Does Bingbing think they can be compared to us?” Angela chimed in.

"Of course not, but that doesn't mean we can let it go unchecked!" Fan Bingbing slammed her hand on the table.

“Why can’t we let it go? He’s not without his own grievances.” Angela remained unmoved.

Basically, during most meetings, it was mostly her and Li Yunxin engaging in heated debates, with neither Gao Yuanyuan nor Li Yunxin taking the initiative to express their opinions.

Of course, when it comes to choosing sides, Gao Yuanyuan almost always stands on Fan Bingbing's side unconditionally, while Li Yunxin adjusts her position according to the actual situation.

So most of the time, Angela is the one being targeted, but she doesn't care at all, and even seems to enjoy it.
