Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Thinking of this, Han Tao stood up and walked out, saying, "It's not even twelve o'clock yet, so your birthday isn't over yet. I'll be out for a while and back soon. You can eat your dumplings first!"

"What are you doing? Your birthday isn't over yet. What's the point?"

Zhong Xiaoqin chased him to the door and shouted a few times, but when she saw Han Tao had already gone downstairs, she didn't dare to chase him out. After all, she was wearing a bathrobe and would be exposed if she went out.

Helpless and confused, she returned to the dining table and sat down. Zhong Xiaoqin felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She guessed what Han Tao had bought but was not sure what it was.

Time passed minute by minute, and as it was approaching twelve o'clock, Zhong Xiaoqin began to get restless. Looking at the raindrops falling outside the window, she decided to borrow someone's phone to call Han Tao.

Just as she was daydreaming, Han Tao pushed the door open and walked in, holding a small cake in his hand. Because there was no reservation and it was very late, Han Tao went to many stores and only bought a small one.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhong Xiaoqin ran over and saw the box in Han Tao's hand. She was moved and surprised and asked:

"You left in such a hurry, just to buy me a cake?"

"Well, luckily we're back. It's not even midnight yet, let's light a candle and make a wish to forget all the bad and unhappy things!"

Han Tao walked to the dining table, put the cake down, opened the box, and inserted the number candles.

Seeing Han Tao take out a lighter to light the candle, Zhong Xiaoqin looked at him with mixed feelings and said:

"I just glanced at the time. How did you know I wanted to buy a cake? And why did you run out to look for it in such heavy rain? Most shops are closed, right?"

"This might be what they call telepathy. It seems, Xiaoqin, we're deeply connected!"

"Bah, who's on your wavelength? The one who should be on your wavelength is Manny. You're such a great lawyer, but you're so unruly!"

Glancing at the blushing Zhong Xiaoqin, Han Tao smiled and lit the candles, saying, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Make a wish and blow out the candles, or the time will be up!"

After saying that, Han Tao turned off the lights in the restaurant without waiting for her response, then clapped his hands and sang the birthday song, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin glanced at the cake on the table and stopped arguing with Han Tao. Instead, she clasped her hands together happily, closed her eyes, and made a wish in her heart:

"Today is my 30th birthday. I hope every day from now on will be better than today!"

Han Tao looked at Zhong Xiaoqin who was making a wish with her eyes closed under the candlelight. Seeing her smiling face, he also felt much happier and gave her blessing:

"Xiaoqin, although you have experienced a lot of unpleasantness today, it has all passed. Look forward to the future.

They say that after adversity comes good, I wish you a happy birthday, and may you be happy every day in the future!"

"Thank you!"

After opening her eyes, Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Han Tao and thanked him sincerely, "Han Tao, thank you for the celery dumplings you prepared for me, thank you for the ginger soup you made for me, and thank you for this birthday cake.

This is the best birthday gift I've received this year. Before you blow out the candles, I'll also give you a wish. As long as I can do it, I will definitely fulfill it, and this wish is valid at any time! "

Glancing at the serious Zhong Xiaoqin, Han Tao deliberately teased her, "Xiaoqin, can you really wish for anything?"

After saying that, he deliberately gave Zhong Xiaoqin a wicked smile and glanced up and down, especially at her thighs, paying special attention to them.

It wasn't until Zhong Xiaoqin glared at him with a blushing face that Han Tao laughed and said:

"My wish is that you won't be so stupid in the future, think more about yourself, and every day from now on will be better than today!"

When Zhong Xiaoqin heard Han Tao's words, especially when he immediately expressed the wish she had made in her heart, she was stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but think of what Han Tao had just said about telepathy. Could it be that they were really destined to be together?

No matter it was the time when Han Tao looked at a house before, or the incident of delivering a courier when she was pregnant, or when Chen Yu's brother was arrested, etc., he always appeared when she needed help the most, just like the Prince Charming in a fairy tale.

Ding~~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 40 points of goodwill generated by Zhong Xiaoqin, the heroine of "Nothing But Thirty", with a total of 80 points of goodwill. The system rewards 800 million yuan. Please keep up the good work, be brave to contact film and television characters, and complete the system tasks conscientiously!

Seeing Zhong Xiaoqin was a little dazed, and the prompt sound rang in his ears, Han Tao leaned forward slightly, waved his right hand in front of her eyes and said:

"Xiaoqin, Xiaoqin, what's wrong with you? Is it because you don't feel comfortable there?"

Hearing Han Tao's words, Zhong Xiaoqin came back to her senses and looked at the man in front of her. He was tall and straight, elegant and easy-going, with concern in his eyes. Her face flushed slightly and she said nervously:

"No, I was just distracted by something. Let's eat cake!"

Han Tao saw her blow out the candles and shook his head, saying, "Don't eat the cake. Eating something so high in calories at night will easily make you fat. Besides, you've been caught in the rain for so long today, you should get some rest early!"

"Well, thank you for giving me an unforgettable birthday. I will always remember it. Go back and have a rest!"

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little lost.

Han Tao raised his wrist and looked at it. It was already past twelve o'clock, so he nodded and took out a mobile phone and said:

"Then you should get some rest early too. I'm going back first. Call me if you have anything. This is my backup phone. Good night!"

"OK, good night!"

Zhong Xiaoqin took the phone and walked him to the door, but she seemed to be hesitant to speak. In fact, she was a little scared of sleeping alone in such a big house, but she didn't know how to ask him to stay, nor could she.

Han Tao smiled slightly, turned around and said, "Xiaoqin, are you afraid of being alone? If you are afraid..."

"Need not!"

Hearing Han Tao's words, Zhong Xiaoqin interrupted him in a panic. Although she also wanted Han Tao to stay, but thinking of her own situation and her best friend Wang Manni, she had to shake her head:

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid. Besides, I'm not divorced yet, and you're Manny's boyfriend. I can't live in the same room with you, even if we sleep in different rooms!"

"Okay, you can lock the master bedroom door when you go to sleep, but don't lock this outside door from the inside. I'll bring you something tomorrow morning!"

"I know, let's go, why are you nagging like my mom?"

Zhong Xiaoqin hurriedly pushed Han Tao out and leaned against the door listening to the sounds outside. When the footsteps gradually faded away, she looked down at her hands with a complicated expression.

Thinking of the strong muscles she felt when she stretched out her hand to push Han Tao just now, a strange feeling arose spontaneously, causing her to clamp her legs together. Then she suddenly shook her head, covering her burning cheeks and muttering:

"Zhong Xiaoqin, he is Manny's boyfriend, what are you thinking?"

After saying that, she slapped herself on the face a few times, then ran into the bedroom and hid under the quilt, not caring about the cakes and dishes that were not cleaned up in the restaurant.

However, Zhong Xiaoqin didn't know what was wrong. Whenever she closed her eyes, Han Tao's shadow would appear in her mind, especially the scene when she was sick after eating barbecue that night and Han Tao carried her to the car.

Thinking about it now, he held me so firmly that day, and was so gentle when he cooked dumplings and made ginger soup for me. He understood what I meant with just a glance, and he went out in the rain to buy a cake, etc., all of which are engraved in my heart.

As she thought about it, she hugged the other pillow on the bed tightly in her arms, curled up in the quilt with a smile on her face, and fell asleep peacefully. Surprisingly, she did not feel the anxiety or insomnia she had when sleeping at home.

Chapter 510: Physical strength does not allow

When they returned to Junyue Mansion, it was already 12:40. Wang Manni looked up at the clock and Han Tao, who had just returned to his room after taking a shower, and asked dazedly:

"Why are you back? I thought you weren't coming back to stay tonight. Did you deliver Xiaoqin's gift? I don't know what happened, but I can't get through to her on the phone."

"Don't mention it. I went downstairs to Xiaoqin's house and tried to call her but couldn't get through. Then I saw Xiaoqin running out, soaking wet. When I asked her, I found out that today she and Chen Yu..."

As Han Tao lifted the quilt and got into bed, he told Wang Manni about the quarrel between Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu, and that they were going to get a divorce tomorrow.

However, some things are just mentioned in passing. Such things cannot be concealed, otherwise it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Of course, the focus is still on Zhong Xiaoqin's experience.

After he finished speaking, Wang Manni was no longer sleepy and got up from the bed and said, "No, I want to ask Gu Jia to go see Xiaoqin. How could Teacher Chen do this?

Although I didn't have much contact with him before, but the first time I met him, I felt that there was something wrong with his attitude towards Xiaoqin, and I didn't expect him to be so excessive..."

"Okay, Manny, don't be impulsive. Xiaoqin didn't tell you guys because she was afraid that you and Gu Jia would be worried. She probably has her own thoughts, and I only found out when I just caught up.

Besides, don't you see what time it is? Gu Jia has children at home, so don't bother her. I've already arranged Xiaoqin's accommodation for tonight, so you'd better wait for her to tell you herself."

"Well, you're right. Xiaoqin must be very sad now. She really needs to be alone to calm down."

With Han Tao's comfort, Wang Manni returned to bed and nodded, "Then let's wait until she's willing to talk, but I still have to talk to Gu Jia tomorrow.

It just so happens that I have a day off tomorrow afternoon, so I can ask her and Xiaoqin to go to the hot spring hotel for a day, which will also help Xiaoqin relax. "

"Okay, I'll book you a room, have fun!"

With that said, Han Tao took Wang Manni into his arms, moved his hands slowly and said, "Nini, do you miss me?"

Wang Manni blushed and nodded, and replied softly: "Well... I thought about it..."

The next morning, Han Tao was awakened on time by his biological clock. Looking at Wang Manni leaning in his arms, Han Tao smiled slightly. She would be thirty years old after her birthday, but she didn't expect her to be so fragile.

However, it is also understandable that although thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger, but after several rounds of strengthening her body, her physique has far surpassed that of normal people. It is normal for her body that has not exercised for many years to bear it.

Thinking of this, Han Tao kissed her gently, then pulled his arm out of bed, put on his sportswear and went downstairs for a morning run.

When he ran back to Grand Hyatt Residence from the park, he happened to meet Gu Jia, who was also coming back from her morning run, at the gate of the community.

When Gu Jia saw Han Tao, she greeted him with a smile, then asked, "Han Tao, Manny just called me and told me about Xiaoqin. I'm sorry for the trouble!"

Han Tao heard the hidden meaning in Gu Jia's words, so he smiled and said, "You're welcome. In fact, getting along with people is not that complicated. You are all Manny's friends. There is no reason for me to stand aside if I can help you, including the difficulties you are facing here, right?"

Hearing him say this, Gu Jia didn't know how to refute for a moment. After all, Han Tao had helped her a lot and never asked for anything in return. She couldn't just cross the river and burn the bridge and say something against her conscience.

Thinking of this, Gu Jia could only change the subject and said, "Indeed, we all owe you a favor. It would be meaningless to just say thank you. We'll see what happens in the future.

But Xiaoqin is really something. She didn't tell me about such a big thing, and I couldn't get through on the phone. Why did she want a divorce? Chen Yu does have problems, but this decision is too sudden! "

"This kind of thing is by no means a day or two, but it has accumulated for a long time and caused it to explode. Whether it is a marriage or a relationship, it needs to be managed. As for Xiaoqin not telling you, it is probably because she is afraid that you will worry about it.

I guess after she finishes the formalities with Chen Yu, she'll call you and Manni. Then you two can go find her. One is to accompany her to vent, then have a good chat in the evening, and the other is to help her get her things."

Han Tao looked at Gu Jia. The relationship between these three sisters was indeed good. They were not just fake best friends, because he could see the anxiety and concern of Wang Manni and Gu Jia, especially Gu Jia, who was like an old hen protecting her chicks.

Gu Jia didn't speak, but just nodded. Although she was anxious, she didn't contact Zhong Xiaoqin immediately. She knew very well that this kind of thing couldn't be explained clearly on the phone, nor could it be easily solved.

Just like that, the two of them walked into the hall in silence. Only then did Han Tao wave his hand and say, "That's it, I'll go up first!"

"Oh, okay, tell Manny for me that I'll go see her at noon and won't call!"

"Okay, see you later!"

"See you!"

.....................

Back on the 20th floor of the Grand Hyatt Mansion, Sister Zhang had already prepared breakfast. Han Tao said hello, went back to the bathroom of the master bedroom to take a shower, then dried off and sat on the bed to get dressed.

At this time, Wang Manni, who had finished calling Gu Jia and took a nap, was awakened by the rustling sound of clothes being dressed. She opened her eyes and held Han Tao's waist.

Seeing this, Han Tao turned around and kissed her forehead gently, then reached out and stroked her, saying, "You should get some sleep. Sister Zhang has prepared breakfast and will call you when it's time."

"Ok!"

Wang Manni nodded happily, but when she felt Han Tao's big hand reaching into the quilt, she quickly held it down and said:

"Stop it, I'm really tired. I finally got a nap and it gave me some energy!"

"Haha, lazy bum, you don't have the physical strength to do this, why don't you practice yoga or fighting with Gu Jia later.

Anyway, you are the deputy store manager now, and your work is not that busy now. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing. After all, health is the capital of revolution."

"Well, I told Gu Jia before that I'd start working out and exercising with her next week, so you should get busy!"

Wang Manni nodded quickly. Although as a thirty-year-old woman, she should not be the one begging for mercy, nor was it that she was unwilling to serve Han Tao well, but she really couldn't do it because this irresistible man was getting stronger and stronger, just like he had taken a magic pill.

It was precisely because of this that Wang Manni felt that it would be good to have someone to share the burden with, and she was also grateful for the existence of Zhu Suosuo, otherwise she was really afraid that she would not be able to handle it alone.

In addition, Wang Manni has made up her mind to exercise well, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for a woman of this age.

Seeing Wang Manni like this, Han Tao stopped teasing her and said as he stood up and walked out:

"Okay, Manny, I won't tease you anymore, you should sleep for a while, I have a lot of things to do today, so let's go first!"

"Ok!"

Wang Manni nodded, got up, put on her pajamas, and walked him out of the bedroom. "We're going to the hot spring hotel with Xiaoqin tonight. If you have time, come over for dinner. I want to tell you something!"

"Okay, I'll be there when I'm done. Call me if you need anything!"

"It's still early, you're leaving after dinner!"

"No, I'm busy today. I'll eat when I get there. Don't send me off!"

"Well, be careful on the road!"

Chapter 511 Young people don’t know how good their elder sister is

The riverside buildings on the Suzhou River in Shanghai are built along the river, so the air after the rain is particularly fresh.

A ray of sunlight shone into the room through the window, and Zhong Xiaoqin woke up from her deep sleep. She rubbed her hazy eyes with her left hand, lifted the quilt with her right hand, got up from the bed, and walked into the living room.

At this moment, on the coffee table, in addition to the mobile phone that Han Tao gave him yesterday, there were also several pieces of clothing, including a set of high-quality underwear. Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoqin blushed and picked up the clothes and ran back to the bedroom to put them on.

When she came out of the bathroom in the master bedroom after washing up, Han Tao had already fed Pikachu cat food on the balcony, and breakfast including millet porridge, buns and fried dough sticks was placed on the dining table.

She had never experienced such attentiveness before. She used to help others at work and was busy with chores at home. The feeling of being taken care of was the same as when she was with her parents before she got married. It made her dependent on them and miss them so much.

Seeing Zhong Xiaoqin standing there in a daze again, Han Tao closed the balcony door and walked to the bathroom to wash his hands while saying:
