Chapter 137 Three Months in the Blink of an Eye, Album News

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiang Nan's scenes are basically finished; only a dozen or so astronomical scenes need to be filmed in the summer.

Chen Yaocuan brought news about the album, hoping that Xiang Nan would promote it and hold some concerts to further increase the sales record of the Asian champion.

Xiang Nan only said that he would talk about it when he returned to the company.

Chen Yaochuan knew that Xiang Nan was about to finish filming, so he had no choice but to wait a few more days.

On June 1, Xiang Nan returned to Kyoto.

Usually, Xiang Nan would pick up Yi Fei, but this time it was Yi Fei's turn to pick up Xiang Nan.

Chaoyang International Airport, underground parking lot.

"Oh, is this the Cayenne that Little Pudding bought?"

Next to the innermost parking space, Xiang Nan looked the car up and down, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Across from her, Yifei playfully tossed her head and said, "This is a car I bought with my own money! It's brand new, hehehe—"

Xiang Nan bent down to put the suitcase into the trunk, and the car shook when he closed the door.

He opened the passenger door, and it took him a bit of effort to squeeze his large body inside. He then adjusted the seat back most of the way.

"That's great, Xiao Xi. You can even buy a car and support yourself now."

,””

Yifei got into the driver's seat, fastened her seatbelt, and turned to glare at him: "What else can we do? We can't rely on you, you big blockhead, for everything."

She turned the car key, the engine started smoothly, and the car slowly drove out of the parking lot.

Xiang Nan reached out and pinched her cheek: "Why did you suddenly decide to pick me up? Didn't you say Aunt Liu was with you?"

Yifei slapped his hand away, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, but the tips of her ears turned red: "Mommy went to Xianyizhai to reserve a table and asked me to come pick you up."

Xiang Nan raised an eyebrow, but his hand moved along the seat towards her and hooked her fingers around his.

"What's going on today? Why did our fairy-like goddess personally come to pick me up?"

"I just wanted to try out my new car, I wasn't thinking about you or anything!" Yifei puffed out her cheeks, her little mouth pouting so much it could hold an oil bottle.

Xiang Nan smiled inwardly and stopped teasing her.

The car merged into the main road and drove smoothly towards the west of the city, with the street scenes rushing past.

Yifei drives slowly, always keeping her speed within the speed limit, without the slightest impatience.

Xiang Nan leaned back in his seat, turning his head to look at her profile. The girl had a soft jawline and long, thick eyelashes that fluttered gently with each blink.

"Why are you looking at me? Sit properly." Yifei noticed his gaze, her cheeks flushed again, and she muttered softly.

"Is it wrong to think my little Pudding is cute?" Xiang Nan smiled and tickled her palm with his finger.

Yifei's hand trembled, and the steering wheel wobbled slightly. She immediately widened her eyes: "You blockhead! Stop messing around! I'm driving!"

Xiang Nan immediately withdrew his hand, raised it in a gesture of surrender, but was still laughing: "Okay, okay, I won't make a fuss anymore. Our Little Pudding is the most stable driver."

Yifei snorted, but couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a smile. The car turned two corners and finally stopped in front of Xianyizhai.

Xianyizhai is a private restaurant that Xiang Nan frequents. Because he often brings his mother and daughter there, they have gradually come to like the dishes as well.

"Brother Nan, Sister Xixi!"

On the steps at the entrance, Feng Man was standing on tiptoe, looking this way. She had returned a day earlier than Xiang Nan. When she saw the two of them, she immediately waved and ran down the steps with her short legs.

"What are you doing here?" Xiang Nan raised an eyebrow and reached out to rub her head.

"Sister Jia asked me to come and help keep an eye on the dishes!" Feng Man chuckled, stepping aside to lead the two inside. "The private rooms are all arranged, everyone's here, just waiting for you two."

Yifei leaned closer to Xiang Nan and asked softly, "Who's here? Mommy didn't tell me there were other people."

"Aunt Liu is here, along with Director Chen and Sister Jia, they're all family," Feng Man replied with a smile, leading the two upstairs.

The second floor consists entirely of wooden loft private rooms. Stepping on the wooden floor makes only a slight sound, and the doors of the private rooms are all covered with jade curtains, ensuring excellent privacy.

Feng Man lifted the curtain of the innermost room, and everyone inside looked up at the sound.

Liu Xiaoli sat in the main seat, holding a white porcelain teacup in her hand. Han Jianu and Chen Yaochuan sat on either side of her and stood up as well.

"Brother Nan, Sister Qianqian, you've finally arrived!" Han Jianu greeted them first, smiling as she took the bag from Xiang Nan's hand and hung it on the clothes rack next to her.

Chen Yaochuan also stood up and nodded to Xiang Nan: "Xiao Nan, you must be tired from your journey."

Liu Xiaoli put down her teacup, glanced at the two of them, and coughed lightly.

Yifei immediately let go of Xiang Nan's arm, shrank behind him, and blushed: "Mommy, we're here."

Liu Xiaoli snorted, but still pointed to the empty seat opposite her: "Sit down, the dishes are all ordered, they're all your favorites, we're just waiting for the two of you."

Xiang Nan pulled Yi Fei down to sit, and smiled at Liu's mother: "Auntie, thank you for waiting."

He knew in his heart that although Liu's mother was sharp-tongued, she had already accepted him in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have personally arranged this welcome banquet.

Soon, waiters filed in, bringing out hot dishes one by one: squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, mushroom soup, and...

A table was laden with stir-fried seasonal vegetables, most of which were sweet dishes that Yifei loved.

Without any formalities, the group picked up their chopsticks and started eating. The only sounds in the private room were the soft clinking of bowls and chopsticks, with no empty pleasantries.

Yifei picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, put it in her mouth, and puffed out her cheeks like a little squirrel stealing food.

Xiang Nan reached out and ladled a bowl of mushroom soup for her, placing it beside her: "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

Yifei glared at him, but still picked up the soup bowl and took small sips.

With a little food in his stomach, Chen Yao put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and looked at Xiang Nan: "Xiao Nan, I'm here to freeload this time, it's still about the concert."

Xiang Nan hummed in agreement. He had guessed it; Chen Yaochuan had been bringing this up for days and certainly wouldn't give up easily.

"You've been in the industry for almost five years, and each album has become more widely popular. You've won countless awards, but you haven't held a single concert. The fans' dissatisfaction is about to burst, and the official Weibo account is urging you to hold one every day. If you don't hold one soon, it really won't be right."

"Besides, your new album has already topped the sales charts in Asia. A few tours will push the record even higher. The company has already scouted out the venues and team. As long as you give your approval, we can start preparations immediately."

Chen Yaochuan explained the matter clearly in a few words, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then looked at Xiang Nan, waiting for his reply.

Xiang Nan picked up a piece of fish and fed it to Xiang Nan's mouth, but did not respond immediately.

He only returned to the film crew in August to finish his dramatic scenes, leaving a two-month gap in between, so holding a concert is indeed feasible.

Brother Chuan has been with me through thick and thin for several years. I'm not just doing this for the fans, but also for him.

After a pause, Xiang Nan turned to look at Yi Fei beside him: "Little Pudding, what do you think? Do you want to run a few races with me?"

""

Yifei immediately shook her head, waved her hand, and spoke indistinctly while still chewing something.

"I'm not going. I made plans with Mommy to go on a trip during summer vacation."

Liu Xiaoli raised an eyebrow and replied, "Yes, I already told Qianqian that she'd been exhausted from filming for half a year, so I'd take her out for a trip to rest. As for the concert, that's your company's business; you men can discuss and decide on it yourselves."

Yifei nodded vigorously, swallowed what was in her mouth, and added, "Yes! I want to go out and play with Mommy, I don't want to go to the concert with you!"

Xiang Nan nodded.

Yifei followed me for a year last year, so she really deserves a rest.

Xiang Nan turned his gaze to Chen Yaochuan: "How's the site and team setup going?"

Chen Yaochuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "I've already inquired about venues in first-tier cities in China, and we can book dates for June and July. We can also coordinate overseas venues simultaneously."

"The team is top-notch in China; they can come up with the best solutions for stage design, sound, and planning."

Xiang Nan nodded, then asked, "How is the schedule arranged?"

"Based on two months, with four shows in China and one each in Asia and Europe, there's plenty of time. It won't interfere with your return to the film crew in August to catch up on your scenes," Chen Yaochuan immediately replied, explaining the plan he had prepared in advance.

Xiang Nan leaned back in his chair, pondered for a moment, and finally looked up at Chen Yaochuan and nodded.

"Okay, I agree to this."

"Please prepare the detailed plan by tomorrow and bring it to the company for me to review in detail."

Chen Yaochuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face: "Great! No problem! I'll send the proposal to you first thing tomorrow morning!"

After chatting about work, the private room quickly returned to its lively atmosphere.

Xiang Nan had no idea how big a mess his concert would cause.
