Chapter 131 How can I have a baby on my own? (Please subscribe)

Xie Xian felt that he and Zhang Shuai'an were getting along better and better as they talked.

Zhang Shuai'an stood up and said goodbye, "It's almost time, I should also take my leave. I can't keep you two from having a proper get-together."

"Hey, why are you leaving? You're not leaving tonight!"

Xie Xian stepped forward and took Zhang Shuai'an's hand. "This place is quite remote, and you won't be able to get a taxi if you go out. Just stay here for the night."

"This isn't appropriate!" Zhang Shuai'an hurriedly said, "Fourth Brother, you and your wife are so happy together after a short separation, what am I doing here?"

Xie Xian shook his head and said seriously, "If you leave now, you're disrespecting me, Xie Xian. If word gets out, how am I supposed to survive in the entertainment industry?"

"This—" Zhang Shuai'an hesitated.

"My villa has seven or eight guest rooms, all with beds made up. You can choose any one you like."

Xie Xian continued to persuade, "Sleep here tonight, and I'll drive you to the company tomorrow morning. We can discuss the script in detail then, wouldn't that be better?"

Zhang Shuai'an didn't refuse any longer: "Then I'll respectfully accept your offer."

"Deborah!"

Xie Xian shouted loudly from upstairs.

"What's wrong?" Debona had just changed the sheets and asked somewhat flusteredly.

Xie Xian instructed, "Anzai will stay here tonight. Pick a room for him, and make sure the bedding is clean. Don't neglect our honored guest."

"I understand." Dibona paused for a moment, then couldn't help but wonder what Zhang Shuai'an had said to Xie Xian.

Surprisingly, Xie Xian didn't suspect anything and was even invited to stay at their place.

Debona changed into a red dress and came downstairs, where she found the two of them drinking and chatting: "What did you two talk about? You seem to be having such a lively conversation."

"It's nothing more than talking about acting and scripts," Xie Xian smiled at his wife and waved to her.

"Anzai, he gave me two scripts, one for a TV series and one for a movie. And by the way, I also got you a role."

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Dibona glanced at Zhang Shuai'an with a hint of pity, saying this without revealing her true feelings.

Xie Xian looked bewildered: "What's wrong with it? He only approached me because the role in his script suited me. If it suits you, I'll recommend you, and that's why he'll accept it."

Zhang Shuai'an nodded in agreement with Xie Xian's words: "Fourth Brother is right, it is indeed quite suitable."

Xie Xian yawned, looking a little sleepy, and said, "I'm a bit sleepy. I just took a plane and drove for a while. Deborah, you take care of Anzai for now. I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, he went upstairs.

"Anzai, come with me."

Debona watched Xie Xian go upstairs, then waved to him: "I'll arrange a room for you."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister La." Zhang Shuai'an nodded and followed behind Di Bona. Watching Di Bona's swaying hips, he couldn't help but press them down and then pinch them.

"Hey, don't use so much force." Debona turned her head and glared at him, then said softly, "You think it's made of iron, it's flesh and blood."

Zhang Shuai'an chuckled and said, "Your acting was quite good just now; you didn't give yourself away."

"I was afraid you'd give yourself away," Debona said with a hint of reproach, lowering her voice. "You have no idea how nervous I was changing the sheets upstairs. If I got caught, you'd be the one in the worst shape."

Zhang Shuai'an said calmly, "That's not necessarily true."

"Okay, stop picking at it!"

Upon reaching the room door, Dibona slapped away Zhang Shuai'an's mischievous hand, then turned and glared at him, saying, "You'll be staying here tonight. I'll come down and wake you in the morning."

After giving her instructions, Debona turned to leave.

Zhang Shuai'an reached out and grabbed her, then turned her head and kissed her red lips.

The two shared a passionate kiss for over a minute before reluctantly parting ways.

Back in the bedroom upstairs.

Dibona returned to bed, lay down next to Xie Xian, and nudged him: "Fourth Brother, are you really going to sleep like this?"

'

"Otherwise, what do you want to do?" Xie Xian turned his head and glanced at him.

Debona raised an eyebrow angrily: "You're so energetic in the bathroom with that vixen, but you can't keep up at home?"

Xie Xian looked at him speechlessly: "Wife, didn't I tell you? I took a plane, drove, and just had some drinks. Can't you let me rest for the night?"

"Anyway, you must deliver the required grain tax by tomorrow at the latest!"

Debona said in a commanding tone, "When we got married, you were always urging me to have a baby soon. And look at you now. If you don't put in the effort, how can I have a baby on my own?"

Xie Xian was indeed extremely sleepy: "Tomorrow! I'll definitely feed you well tomorrow!"

Before long, he fell into a deep sleep.

Dibona looked at the sleeping Xie Xian for a long while before whispering, "Fourth Brother, I love you so much."

next morning.

Debona actually woke Zhang Shuai'an up: "Get up, I've prepared breakfast."

"You can cook?" Zhang Shuai'an asked as he got out of bed and hugged her.

Dibona was startled and slapped his hand away: "Fourth Brother is in the living room, don't let him see us."

-

The two arrived in the living room one after the other.

Xie Xian greeted Zhang Shuai'an with a smile: "How are you, Anzai? Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's alright," Zhang Shuai'an said with a smile. "There are few people and cars here, it's very quiet, and I can sleep until dawn."

Xie Xian was drinking porridge when he said to Zhang Shuai'an, "Sit down, have some porridge with me. My wife made it; it tastes amazing."

Just then, Dibona went to the kitchen and scooped a bowl of porridge over, placing it in front of Zhang Shuai'an.

Zhang Shuai'an looked down and saw that the porridge was indeed quite rich, with many good ingredients in it.

He was just a little confused: was it really necessary to eat oysters so early in the morning?

Xie Xian noticed Zhang Shuai'an's gaze and explained with a smile, "Deborah wants to have a baby soon, so she ordered some from the seafood market. They deliver three catties of fresh oysters every morning. I was so full of them the other day that I got nosebleeds."

Zhang Shuai'an's gaze involuntarily drifted towards Di Bona.

Debona said irritably, "It's all because you said you wanted to have a baby soon. If you don't put in the effort, what can I do!"

Xie Xian didn't respond to that, but smiled and said to Zhang Shuai'an, "You're young, you should be able to handle it, eat more."

Zhang Shuai'an certainly didn't hold back, eating three large bowls by himself, completely satisfied, and even a little unsatisfied.

This young man is really energetic!

Dibona's gaze towards Zhang Shuai'an was practically dripping with saccharine sweetness.

After breakfast, Xie Xian drove his Rolls-Royce, carrying Zhang Shuai'an and Di Bona, to the Dongying Building.

This is Zhang Shuai'an's territory. He led Xie Xian and his wife to the tenth floor, to the office of [Tianxia Film Industry].

"World Pictures?"

Xie Xian looked at the signboard and the line of small print below it, and couldn't help but read it aloud: "The world of movies, I am the only one who reigns supreme? Anzai, you're pretty arrogant."

"How can you make movies if you're not a little crazy?" Zhang Shuai'an replied casually.

Inside the office, many employees were already working.

Upon seeing Zhang Shuai'an lead his men in, they all stood up to greet him.

Zhang Shuai'an spoke up to He Jiatong and instructed her, "Atong, boil water and make tea. I need to entertain Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law."

"Okay." He Jiatong usually acts as Zhang Shuai'an's secretary, responsible for handling these trivial matters.

Zhang Shuai'an led the two into the office, then took out two scripts from the drawer: one was a TV drama script, "The King of Gamblers," and the other was a revised movie script, "Blood Maze."

Zhang Shuai placed the script on the desk and pushed it towards them: "Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law, the two scripts are here. Take a look."

Xie Xian glanced at it and casually picked up the script for "The King of Gamblers".

Debona had no choice but to pick up "Blood Simple" and start reading it seriously.

As she watched, she would occasionally glance at Zhang Shuai'an and noticed that the plot seemed a bit contrived.

Especially the three main characters: bar owner Madian, bar owner Elsa, and Elsa's lover, the young and strong Reilly.

There's a distinct sense of déjà vu between Xie Xian, her, and Zhang Shuai'an.

Debona leaned close to Zhang Shuai'an's ear and whispered, "Did you do this on purpose?"
