Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

In Dongli Community, on the 16th floor of Building 12, Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo were sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting. When they saw Han Tao open the door and walk in, they both stood up excitedly to greet him.

Especially Zhu Suosuo, she was more open than Jiang Nansun, so she threw herself into his arms and said coquettishly:

"Brother Han, I missed you so much. Why did you come back so late? I'm starving!"

Han Tao glanced at Jiang Nansun and saw that she was also very excited, but she was still able to maintain her reserve. He smiled slightly, cast his eyes on Zhu Suosuo in his arms, and teased:

"Suosuo, why do I feel like you've gained some weight while I've been away? You even have a little belly!"

"Why, is it because I'm fat that you dislike me and don't like me anymore?"

After glaring at Han Tao, Zhu Suosuo quickly kept a distance from him. She was so excited just now that she forgot about her own situation. Now she couldn't move too much.

Before he came back, the two had already discussed giving Han Tao a surprise, so Jiang Nansun quickly changed the subject:

"Go wash your hands quickly. You must have not eaten or slept well after being away on business for so many days. Suosuo and I have cooked our specialties, and Sister Chen has also prepared a lot of delicious food. Take a nice hot bath after dinner."

After saying that, Jiang Nansun took Han Tao to wash his hands, then gently handed him a towel and helped him take off his clothes and coat. When the two of them walked to the dining table, Zhu Suosuo had already served the soup.

"Brother Han, I see you've lost weight these days. Drink more soup to replenish your nutrition."

After exchanging a glance with Zhu Suosuo, Jiang Nansun understood what he meant and sat down next to Han Tao, saying gently:

"This is something Suosuo and I learned from Aunt Jia. It's grandma's secret recipe. Come and try it. How does it taste?"

Seeing the two of them becoming more and more like perfect wives, Han Tao felt particularly happy and nodded with a smile.

"Well, I like everything you make. I will definitely drink two more bowls today."

"I'm not lying, do you really like anything we do?"

"Of course, I like it as long as it's done by you two!"

"That's pretty good, you passed!"

Jiang Nansun nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, there were only three of them in the restaurant. Sister Chen had already gone to the kitchen to wait, so she boldly said to Han Tao:

"Come to my place tonight. Suosuo and I will give you a surprise. I hope you like it!"

"Everyone is going to your place. Is there a surprise?"

Looking at Jiang Nansun's expression, Han Tao was somewhat surprised. Ever since that night, she had been particularly resistant to the three of them being together, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to invite him today.

At this time, Zhu Suosuo also nodded, but with a sly look in her eyes, she said, "That's right, you're lucky today. Let's all go to Nansun's place and reward you, a busy man."

"Well, the sun is rising from the west today. I want to see what you two are up to. If you dare to lie to me, I'll show you how I'll deal with you..."

Before Han Tao finished speaking, the phone rang. He picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was Zhong Xiaoqin. He kissed Jiang Nansun beside him helplessly and said to her and Zhu Suosuo:

"Suosuo was just saying she was hungry. You guys eat first. I'm going to take a call and will be back soon."

"Well, hurry up, or the food will get cold!"

Nodding slightly, Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo watched Han Tao walk towards the open-air garden balcony outside the living room, whispering to each other.

At this moment, Han Tao closed the door and answered the phone, "Hello, Xiaoqin!"

Hearing Han Tao's voice, Zhong Xiaoqin, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the 20th floor of Grand Hyatt with Wang Manni on the other end of the phone, smiled and replied:

"How are you doing? Are you off work yet? Are you coming back for dinner today?"

Hearing this, Han Tao couldn't help but chuckle. He sat down on a rattan chair beside him and responded, "I couldn't get through to you today. I told Manny that you don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner these two days. There are too many things to deal with at the law firm. I'll come to see you when I'm done."

"Well, I left my phone in the office when I was doing my rounds this afternoon, so I didn't see you calling."

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded, explained the reason, and then continued: "Actually, Manny has already told me, I just want to confirm that you shouldn't be too tired. Although work is important, your health is more important."

"Okay, got it. I'll take care of myself. Since you knew about this and called me, is there anything else?"

"I'm just asking if you have time tomorrow afternoon. I want you to go home with me. My mother is coming to the company this afternoon..."

Zhong Xiaoqin asked tentatively and briefly explained the situation. She had been distressed for the past two days. After divorcing Chen Yu, she did not tell her family about the news because she was worried about her father's health and did not want him to be upset.

But things went against her wishes. It was impossible to keep such a thing secret because her mother often went to her former home, but she didn't see her daughter at home several times. She didn't go home for dinner after work. At first, she thought she was working overtime.

However, after not being able to see him for many times, Chen Yu was hesitant. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she talked to Chen Yu. Although she didn't get an answer, she could see that something was not right between the two of them. In addition, she had heard before that a young man in her daughter's unit was always pestering Zhong Xiaoqin, so she was worried that she would do something wrong.

Because of this worry, at noon today, Zhong Xiaoqin's mother went to their property management company and talked to Zhong Xiaoqin. She also asked her to go home tomorrow afternoon, saying that she had something to tell her.

After hearing this, Han Tao responded without hesitation, "No problem. Even if I don't have time, I will put aside other things and go back with you. We have to go through this sooner or later. We can't avoid it.

Besides, we've already done it. If the elders knew you divorced a long time ago and found someone you like, they might be happy. If you hurry up and get pregnant, they'll definitely approve of me as their son-in-law!"

"Bah, who promised to give birth to your baby? You're so dishonest! I'm ignoring you. I'll wait for your call tomorrow. Bye!"

Zhong Xiaoqin blushed and spat, without waiting for Han Tao to say anything else. Since she got the answer she wanted, she quickly hung up the phone.

Wang Manni, who was standing by, saw her put down the phone and blushed, and couldn't help but joked:

"Xiaoqin, what's going on? Are you thinking of getting ahead of me? Your body hasn't recovered yet, so don't rush into having a baby."

"Oh, Manny, what are you talking about!"

Giving Wang Manni a cold look, Zhong Xiaoqin picked up a pillow and said stubbornly, "I haven't thought about that at all. After all, I'm already divorced and a few months older than him. Gu Gu also said that you can't even get in in your situation, so I don't even dare to think about it."

"Listen, you said you hadn't thought about it, but you've considered it so thoroughly. Don't use Gu Jia as a shield. Just for your baby face, having a sister with a childlike face is so exciting. What's a few months older?"

"oops!"

Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly stood up, stomped her feet in anger, threw the pillow at Wang Manni, and then said angrily:

"Manny, you are so mean. If you keep saying that, I will be really angry and I will move out tomorrow.

This is all your and Han Tao's fault. If he hadn't been so naughty, if you hadn't asked me to move here, I might still be living in my original home, and my mother wouldn't have found out."

"Okay, Xiaoqin, I was just kidding."

Wang Manni pulled Zhong Xiaoqin back to the sofa, sighed, and said, "This may be fate. I didn't expect us sisters to become like this, but since we accept it, we have no regrets.

As for the situation you mentioned, I don't think there's any need to dwell on it. Auntie will find out about this sooner or later. If you take the initiative to tell her tomorrow, I think it'll be better than them figuring it out or finding out unexpectedly from somewhere else. At least you'll be prepared."

"Yes, I know!"

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded vigorously and said apologetically, "Manny, I'm sorry for you. Thank you for not blaming me and being so kind to me!"

"Okay, Xiaoqin, it's boring for us to talk about this. If there is anything, we can just discuss and solve it behind closed doors as a family. Don't say anything about who owes whom.

Don't worry when you go back tomorrow. Since your uncle has a bad heart, you should prepare some heart-saving pills in advance. Also, be careful when you talk, don't be too direct. Call me when you're done.

Wang Manni tried to comfort Zhong Xiaoqin while looking at the bright lights outside the window and slowly fell into deep thought.

Chapter 585 Proposal

After dinner, in the master bedroom of Jiang Nansun's suite in Dongli's top-notch luxury house, Han Tao was sitting on the bed in his pajamas. Zhu Suosuo had changed into a red nightgown and was sitting beside him. There was only a ribbon loosely tied around her waist, which made the bulge of her belly more obvious.

But before Han Tao could ask, Jiang Nansun also walked into the master bedroom from outside. Looking at Zhu Suosuo who was dressed like a fire, she couldn't help but glare at her, her eyes full of warning, reminding her not to play with fire and not to forget her own situation.

Only after she nodded did he open the wardrobe, change into the same white pajamas as Zhu Suosuo, then walk to the bed and sit down, making Han Tao look at her with envy.

After all, with two charming beauties in front of you, one as charming as fire and the other as gentle as water, any man would be unable to resist the desire to spend a night with them under the moonlight.

Feeling the fiery gaze, Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo exchanged a glance. To avoid any accidental firing, they quickly got straight to the point.

"Brother Tao, Suosuo and I want to tell you two good news."

Han Tao smiled faintly and said, "What good news? You finally came to your senses and plan to live with Suosuo? That's only one possible explanation. What's the other one?"

"Don't move, I'm telling you something serious!"

Jiang Nansun slapped Han Tao's outstretched hand and said with a very serious expression, "Suosuo is pregnant. We found out when she felt nauseous during dinner last time."

"Really?"

Hearing Jiang Nansun's words, Han Tao immediately stood up, looked at Zhu Suosuo, and said excitedly:

"Suosuo, is what Nansun said true? Why didn't you tell me after you found out? It's been several months."

"It's been over four months. You've been so busy, and I wanted to wait until the fetus is stable before telling you, so I didn't tell you right away. I didn't expect you to be away on a business trip for so long."

Seeing that Han Tao was so happy and excited, Zhu Suosuo smiled sweetly. She was worried that Han Tao didn't want a child yet, so she waited until three months to tell him. She didn't expect him to be so happy.

"What nonsense! How could you not tell me immediately about something as serious as your pregnancy? And you still go to work every day and follow Fan Jingang around. Do you know how dangerous this is?"

Hearing that it had been more than four months, Han Tao couldn't help but scold her. Seeing Zhu Suosuo's aggrieved expression, he couldn't bear to continue scolding her, so he could only change the subject:

"Are you tired from the rotation during this period? Have you gone for your regular pregnancy checkup?"

Seeing Han Tao caring so much about her, Zhu Suosuo smiled sweetly and said, "I'm not tired. I just started going down this month too. I have Fan Jingang with me, so you don't have to worry. Besides, I've been doing this for more than four months, so it's very stable."

"Even though it's four months, we can't be careless. I'll tell Mr. Ye that you should take a leave to prepare for the birth. Don't go to the company for the next few months."

As he spoke, Han Tao was about to take out his cell phone. Although the fetus was basically stable at more than four months old, a small number of pregnant women might feel fetal movement, and the morning sickness reaction of pregnant women could basically disappear, and they could already work normally, but this was Han Tao's first child, and he had to take it seriously.

Before, he always felt out of tune with this world, as if he was playing a game, but now this barrier has completely disappeared. Thinking that Zhu Suosuo's belly was pregnant with his blood, he had an indescribable feeling.

"That's not an exaggeration. The baby wasn't attached with double-sided tape. The doctor said I can go back to work. As long as I pay attention to nutrition, relax, and don't overwork, it generally won't affect the baby."

Zhu Suosuo rolled her eyes at Han Tao. She didn't want to be a full-time housewife.

Besides, she is resting now before anything happens. If she cannot go out during the ten months of pregnancy and breastfeeding, she will suffocate to death.

Jiang Nansun couldn't help rolling her eyes at Han Tao who was acting like a child. It was the first time she saw Han Tao behave like this, and she couldn't help but teasing him:

"Look how excited our Director Han is, he's about to jump up and down. Come on, calm down and tell me, do you want a boy or a girl?"

"I like both boys and girls. They are all my treasures to me, no matter they are boys or girls!"

Han Tao responded without hesitation, then hugged Zhu Suosuo beside him and continued, "Suosuo, thank you for your hard work!"

Nestled in Han Tao's arms, Zhu Suosuo touched her slightly bulging belly with her hand, and said with a look of enjoyment:

"It's not hard, as long as you don't blame me for telling you so late. It's my greatest luck to meet you and give birth to children for you in this life. I guess it's because I did a lot of good deeds in my previous life."

Hearing Zhu Suosuo say this, Han Tao kissed her on the forehead and said softly, "Silly girl, you are my lucky star, my blessing, and the hero of this family.

Suosuo, you've been wronged during your pregnancy. I didn't care enough about you. I'm sorry. Please give me a chance to make it up to you. Will you marry me?"

Unexpectedly, Han Tao would actually take the initiative to propose to her. Zhu Suosuo was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. Then she glanced at Jiang Nansun, who was silent and quiet, and looked up at Han Tao and shook her head slightly.

"Brother Han, I can't marry you. We have a second surprise that we haven't told you yet. Nansun is also pregnant. I took her for a checkup this afternoon, and she's already two months pregnant. Can you choose Nansun?"

I am a wild girl and I know very well that I cannot enter your home. Even if you agree, your family will not agree. It is enough for me to know that you have me in your heart and you don’t despise me. I will be satisfied.

But Nansun is different. The Jiang family was once glorious in the Magic City, and it was Uncle Jiang who brought them down. However, Nansun was raised as a daughter-in-law, and a lady from a wealthy family like her is more suitable to be your wife."

As soon as Zhu Suosuo finished speaking, before Han Tao could respond, Jiang Nansun shook her head and said:

"Suosuo, we agreed at the beginning that I would never steal your boyfriend. I already feel sorry for you for accepting me sharing this love.

Besides, we agreed that whoever has the child first will marry him. Since you had the child first, you can just marry him. I don't mind!"

Looking at Jiang Nansun who was avoiding his gaze, and Zhu Suosuo beside her, Han Tao knew that although they were pushing each other away, they would not feel good in their hearts, so he hugged them both in his arms and comforted them:

"You two really gave me a big surprise. Since you're both pregnant, don't argue. In my heart, you both hold the same weight. To be fair, let's hold a joint wedding, or even two weddings!"

Hearing Han Tao's idea, Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but stare at him, saying in unison: "Bah, you wish!"

After spitting, the two best friends looked at each other, and the knot in their hearts completely disappeared, so they couldn't help laughing. After a long time, Jiang Nansun said coquettishly:

"Han Tao, you're such a jerk. You're always coming up with bad ideas. Even if we both agree, do you think you can do that with your status?"

"That's right, that's right, you playboy, you think this is just a game, and you're even holding a wedding together? You really think you're the emperor!"

Looking at Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo, who were both looking sweet, Han Tao smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that you'll feel wronged. So, why don't you tell me, do you have any good ideas?"

"I've discussed this with Suosuo, and we won't make things difficult for you. We'll have the wedding after we both have the baby. Whoever gives birth to a boy will get married with you first.

We will take a yacht to the sea for the wedding, and we won’t get a marriage certificate or make an official announcement. Only our immediate family members will be there to send their blessings.”

"That's right. Anyway, you promised grandma that the first boy Nansun gave birth to would have the surname Jiang. Then they would care whether there was a wedding or not, and I wouldn't have to worry about it. Now that Dad has passed away and I'm starting a new life, I don't have any relatives except my uncle's family. I suddenly felt that no matter who gave birth to a boy or a girl, we could just have them together."

Hearing that they still remembered him at this moment, Han Tao was also very moved. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only hug them even harder and said:

"Thank you. Since both of you ladies have thought it through for me, and it's so thorough, of course I'll listen to you!"

"Humph!"

Jiang Nansun glared at Han Tao, then exchanged glances with Zhu Suosuo before suddenly saying, "You only know how to make Suosuo and me happy. Your mouth is as sweet as honey. Tell me, do you have other women outside? How many concubines does our baby have that we don't know about?"

"Hahaha, I find Nansun very smart. The moment you open your mouth, you put yourself in the position of the queen. Suosuo needs to work hard, otherwise you will only be a younger sister in the future."

Han Tao did not respond, but changed the subject and made jokes. After all, both of them were pregnant, so how could he dare to tell the truth to them at this time?

In fact, they were already prepared in their hearts. Zhu Suosuo always knew what she wanted, so she didn't continue to ask.
