Entertainment: A whirlwind marriage with a fairy-like mother at the start!

Just then, Yu Le's phone, which was on the counter, suddenly lit up and started vibrating incessantly.

He picked up his phone.

The words "My Dear Wife" were scrolling merrily on the caller ID.

The cold, calculating look on Yu Le's face vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely gentle warmth.

He swiped to answer the call, casually turned on speakerphone, and spoke with a slightly frivolous and teasing tone.

"What are your orders, my dear wife?"

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"I miss you……"

However, it wasn't Liu Xiaoli's voice, but a childish, slightly aggrieved voice that came over.

Yu Le's smile widened instantly.

He placed the boning knife steadily on the knife holder, leaning against the kitchen counter.

"Oh, isn't this our little Yu Muchen?"

"What, you stole your mom's phone again?"

On the other end of the phone, Dongdong sniffed, his voice barely audible, like a mosquito's hum.

"miss you."

Those three simple words struck the softest spot in Yu Le's heart.

He felt his heart melting at the sight of this little guy.

"Dad misses you too."

"Have you listened to your mother at home? Have you caused any trouble?"

Dongdong immediately retorted loudly.

"I didn't! I'm the big helper!"

The little guy's voice was full of pride.

"I helped Mom mop the floor! I also helped her water the flowers!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Le's eyelids twitched.

Based on his understanding of this troublemaker, he knew that his so-called help would most likely just result in the house being flooded.

"Yeah?"

Did your mom reward you with a big chicken leg?

"no."

The thumping sound subsided again.

"My mother said I killed her orchid by overwatering it."

Yu Le couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Just then, Liu Xiaoli's voice, which sounded both amused and exasperated, came from the other end of the phone.

"Yu Muchen!"

"Who gave you permission to take my phone!"

After a rustling sound, Liu Xiaoli's voice came through clearly.

"Ignore him."

"This kid just poured half a bottle of milk into my clivia plant, and he even called it giving the plant some nutrients."

"I was just about to spank him when he grabbed my phone and disappeared in a flash."

As Yu Le listened to the familiar scolding on the other end of the phone, the corners of her mouth never left her lips.

"It's alright, let him do whatever he wants."

"At worst, I'll just go back and buy you another one."

"Is it almost evening where you are? Have you had dinner yet?"

"We're just about to eat."

Liu Xiaoli paused for a moment on the other end.

"Where's Sissi? Isn't she next to you?"

"That girl, she didn't even call me to let me know she was safe when she got there."

Yu Le picked up a clean towel and wiped her hands.

"She doesn't have the time."

"Nolan, that Englishman, is a complete filmmaking maniac; he won't stop until he's squeezed every last drop out of his actors."

"They're probably still on set, flying around on wires right now."

The voice just fell.

The heavy door to the presidential suite was opened from the outside by swiping a card.

Liu Qianqian walked in looking exhausted.

She was still wearing the costume from the film crew, that burgundy French trench coat, but her hair was already a bit disheveled.

He exuded a sense of utter exhaustion, as if he had been completely drained.

She tossed the script in her hand onto the sofa and collapsed onto it, not wanting to move at all.

"Dad, I feel like I'm going to be a failure."

Yu Le smiled at the person on the other end of the phone.

"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."

He picked up his phone and switched to video call mode.

By this time, 4G networks already existed, and although cross-border video calls were ridiculously expensive, it was nothing to Yu Le.

Soon, Liu Xiaoli and Dongdong's faces appeared together on the screen.

"mom!"

When Liu Qianqian saw the screen, her tired eyes instantly lit up.

She struggled to sit up straight on the sofa.

"Knock knock!"

On the screen, Dongdong saw her older sister and her face turned red with excitement. She danced around in front of the camera.

"Sister! Monkey Sister!"

Liu Qianqian's face instantly darkened.

"Yu Muchen!"

"Are you asking for it again?!"

Dongdong made a face at the screen, then quickly hid behind Liu Xiaoli, only peeking out half of its fluffy little head.

Liu Xiaoli patted his little bottom helplessly.

Looking at her daughter's haggard appearance on the screen, her eyes were filled with heartache.

"Sisi, look at you, your face has gotten so thin."

"Is filming particularly tiring?"

Liu Qianqian rubbed her sore shoulders and forced a smile at the camera.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine."

"It's just that Nolan's standards are too high; he has to work on a single shot dozens of times."

She couldn't help but start complaining.

"You didn't see it, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was filming that corridor fight scene today. He spent the whole day rolling around in a 360-degree rotating iron cage. When he came out, he was almost throwing up, and his arms were covered in bruises."

"The day after tomorrow I'm going to do parkour on a fake street that's tilted at a 30-degree angle. Just thinking about it makes my legs weak."

Yu Le fixed his phone to the countertop with a stand, picked up the knife again, and began to process the top-grade Wagyu beef.

He chatted as he skillfully cut the meat.

"No pain, no gain."

"Once the movie is released, you'll realize just how worthwhile Nolan's outrageous demands were."

Dongdong peeked out from behind Liu Xiaoli again and asked curiously.

"Sister, you turned blue on TV!"

"It can fly!"

Clearly, the little guy also went to the cinema to see Avatar.

Liu Qianqian was amused by her younger brother's innocent words.

"That's not flying, that's riding a big bird."

"When you grow up, your sister will take you to Pandora to ride a big bird."

"Yay!"

Dongdong jumped up excitedly in front of the camera.

A family, separated by the Pacific Ocean, chatted about everyday things through a small mobile phone screen.

All the fatigue and stress seemed to vanish in this warm atmosphere.

After chatting for nearly half an hour, Liu Xiaoli checked the time and urged them to hurry up.

"Alright, alright, I won't keep you any longer."

"Sisi, go take a shower and get some rest."

"Yu Le, please take good care of her."

Don't worry.

Yu Le responded.

The video call ended.

The suite fell silent instantly.

Liu Qianqian let out a long sigh of relief, slumped back into the sofa, her eyes somewhat vacant.

"Dad."

"I suddenly realized that being a global superstar is so tiring."

"When I was filming in the country, I could go home for dinner after work."

"Now look what's happened, we're eating the crew's boxed lunches every day."

Yu Le put the marinated steak into the scalding hot frying pan.

"Sizzle—"

The steak made a satisfying sizzling sound as it touched the hot bottom of the pan.

The rich aroma of butter and meat instantly filled the entire room.

He flipped the steak with tongs without turning his head.

"Because you're my daughter."

"With your dad around, would you really be eating takeout every day?"

He watched as the steak developed a beautiful brown color, precisely timing the process.

"Go take a shower and change your clothes."

"You can eat Michelin-level steaks right outside the door!"

Liu Qianqian twitched her nose, smelling the overpowering aroma, and her stomach growled uncontrollably.

She jumped up from the sofa, a smile returning to her face.

"Yes, Master Chef!"

Barefoot, she skipped and hopped into the bedroom like a happy little deer.

Yu Le watched her retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.

No matter how big a star she is outside, when she comes home, she's always that little kid who hasn't grown up.

He turned off the heat and placed the medium-rare steak onto a warm plate.

Then take the side dishes out of the oven and drizzle them with the secret black pepper sauce.

A delicious and visually appealing steak is now ready.
