Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 784 The End of the Story (End)
In the bedroom, soft lights illuminate the space.

Zhang Ruonan's fingers were slightly curled up on the crib rails, and her cashmere shawl cast a furry shadow on the floor as it slid down.

The heater vent made a slight humming sound, turning Chen Duling's light questions into snow particles hanging in the air.

She looked at her sleeping daughter, and suddenly raised the corners of her lips, revealing her usual sweet smile, but more gentle and dignified than usual.

"You didn't go to Ali's house during the Chinese New Year. At first I thought you were confident and didn't bother to compete with us."

Zhang Ruonan did not answer Chen Duling directly, but suddenly talked about what happened during the Chinese New Year.

"Later I found out that it wasn't like that."

"It turns out that I was the one who was making it up in my head all along, and you saw everything clearly a long time ago."

"In fact, he dotes on Ye Zi and Jing Yi."

"He was also very indulgent towards Xiaotian."

Chen Duling stroked Lin Wan's curled fist with her fingertips. The touch of the baby's skin made her slightly bulging belly resonate faintly, which was a wonderful feeling.

She didn't say anything, but just listened to Zhang Ruonan quietly, nodding slightly from time to time to show her approval.

Speaking of pure doting, the three girls Lin Li mentioned by Zhang Ruonan just now are really doted on.

So, sometimes you really can't be too sensible, she thought secretly.

The snow outside the window was falling, spreading a cold blue color on the glass.

"When I saw clearly his attitude towards everyone at that time, I realized that the goals I had set for myself were nothing but my own imagination."

"Because I came later, I always feel inferior to you, so I always regard you as an imaginary enemy."

Zhang Ruonan lifted the quilt up half an inch. The unique scent of baby milk lingered at her nose, and the expression on her face instantly became softer.

"Now I understand that if I had the ability to help him handle the company's affairs and be able to stand on my own in front of others, I could also be you."

“And I didn’t have that ability, so he gave me the intimacy and made me a breakout actress.”

She suddenly fell silent, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the plain ring on her ring finger.

This was put on her by Lin Li himself when she was five months pregnant. The inner ring was engraved with Lin Wan's due date.

Chen Duling looked up at her, her thin lips curled up in a slight arc.

It seems that Zhang Ruonan's mentality has changed after having a child, which is a good thing.

"During the Chinese New Year, I noticed that he poured different amounts of red wine for each person during dinner."

"Always only pour one-third of a cup for Ye Zi, because I know she can drink the least. Put a lemon slice on the rim of Wang Chu Ran's cup, and break the ice cubes into pieces for Jing Yi."

Zhang Ruonan tucked her falling hair behind her ears, and her plump face after pregnancy shone with pearly light in the warm light.

"It suddenly dawned on me then that he was never prioritizing anything."

"He just has the right people in the right positions and uses his abilities to make everyone better in their respective positions."

The incubator made a gentle operating sound. Chen Duling looked at Lin Wan sucking her fingers in her sleep and suddenly remembered the four-dimensional color ultrasound she had done three days ago.

The moment the curled up little life on the screen raised her hand, Lin Li grabbed her wrist at the same time.

“My world is very small now.”

Zhang Ruonan suddenly grabbed Chen Duling's wrist and placed her palm against his heart.

"Ali is here, here..."

She guided her hand slowly upwards.

"It contains enough starlight to feed the entire galaxy."

Lin Wan suddenly whimpered like a kitten, and both of them reached out to comfort her.

The moment their fingertips touched, they looked at each other and smiled at each other.

"do you know?"

Zhang Ruonan gently patted the little fellow's body, and her dimples were filled with dancing light and shadow.

"The day before yesterday, he was holding Wanwan in his arms, and after getting soaked, he was actually grinning like an idiot. It was the first time I saw him look so silly."

Seeing that Lin Wan stopped whining, Zhang Ruonan began to gently rock the crib, the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably.

"When Oda called me via video, he was on speakerphone and looked flustered..."

The sound of slippers rubbing against the floor came from outside the door, and Chen Duling suddenly pressed her ring finger on her lips.

Zhang Ruonan blinked knowingly and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't let these stars shatter."

Chen Duling looked at her, nodded slightly, and smiled brightly.

When Lin Li pushed the door open, he saw Chen Duling leaning over and kissing Lin Wan on the forehead.

Zhang Ruonan leaned against the bay window and read her parenting diary. The snow outside the window seemed to filter her through a frosted glass.

When he discovered that the two of them were wearing the same plain ring on their ring fingers, his throat suddenly choked.

Those were the twelve pairs of spare rings he had asked craftsmen to make at the beginning of the year, with each person's unique lucky number engraved on the inner circle.

"Ali."

Chen Duling held her lower back as she stood up, her pregnant belly showing a gentle curve under her apricot sweater.

"Wanwan's eyelashes are the same as yours, long and thick."

She had a smile on her lips, and seemed to find this quite interesting.

"It's just right that I look like this. I will definitely be very handsome in the future."

Lin Li vaguely sensed some changes between them. He secretly observed their expressions while pretending to be cocky.

Zhang Ruonan closed the notebook in her hand and suddenly pointed at Lin Li's collar with a sly smile.

"Which button?"

He looked down and saw that the second button had broken at some point, and the fresh bite mark on his collarbone was slightly hot.

That was the mark left by Hu Lianxin when he was at the company yesterday and they were discussing the meaning of life in the office.

"Ahem... well... I'll go see if the meal is ready."

In front of the two men and his daughter, Lin Li suddenly felt unspeakably guilty and quickly made an excuse to escape.

Zhang Ruonan and Chen Duling looked at each other and smiled, then shook their heads helplessly.

I'm afraid this romantic nature cannot be changed. I just hope he can restrain himself in the future.

That night Chen Duling stayed in the guest room next to Zhang Ruonan's bedroom.

At three o'clock in the morning, when Lin Li tiptoed into the master bedroom, he found Zhang Ruonan giggling at the baby monitoring screen.

Looking closer, in the picture, Chen Duling was holding Lin Wan and pacing in the baby room. The straps of her nightgown had slipped down to her arms, revealing the scratches on her back that had not yet healed.

"Shhh."

Zhang Ruonan pressed the hot cell phone into his palm.

"Look at the way Sister Duling coaxes the child. Doesn't it look like she's rehearsing 'Pieta'?"

Lin Li looked at the profile of Chen Duling on the screen as she lowered her head and hummed a lullaby, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows softened instantly.

He was already looking forward to the scene after he and Dudu's baby was born.

Dudu said that he wanted to have a house by the sea in Ludao and raise two dogs. In the evening, they could take their children and dogs for a walk along the waves under the afterglow of the sunset...

-

Winter is passing quickly, and new buds are showing on the branches in early spring.

In April 21, "The Greatest Show on Earth" was launched as Penguin Video's opening drama of the year. It quickly became a hit after its premiere, with daily views exceeding 4 million and a popularity value of over 3 for ten consecutive days, entering the Penguin Video "Hit Club".

At the end of the membership period, the total amount of barrage interactions reached 4.5 million, setting a record for the number of barrage interactions in Penguin Video TV series in 2021.

The main topic on Weibo has been read over 200 billion times, discussed over 1000 million times, and related topics on short video platforms have been played over 300 billion times.

"The Stars" continues the myth of "Nanxun's products must be high-quality", and also makes Zhao Lusi the most dazzling new star at the beginning of 2021, and her popularity is unparalleled.

In May, "Chow Sang-yu" took over and once again dominated the entire TV drama market in May.

After 6 episodes were updated on the first day, it quickly topped the Maoyan online drama popularity chart and its popularity soared rapidly on the Kiwi site. In the first week, it topped the Kiwi general hot list, costume list, soaring list and other lists.

In the first week, the drama topped the Maoyan online drama popularity list for seven consecutive days and topped the Yunhe data popularity list for 7 consecutive days.

The "unfortunate" ending of Zhou Shengchen and Li Shiyi in the play triggered widespread discussion. In particular, famous scenes such as "bone removal" and "red dress falling" became classics, driving the popularity of derivative creations to continue to soar. It has a sufficiently long-tail effect and laid a solid foundation for the broadcast of the second part "One Life, One World".

Bai Lu, a little-known unknown star, also gained popularity due to "Zhou Shengrugu" and became a highly-anticipated new star, whose popularity is no less than that of Zhao Lusi in April.

The success of two consecutive dramas also made the market more optimistic about Nanxun Culture. After obtaining Lin Li's approval, Xu Fei and Chen Chao began to actively prepare for the listing.

In mid-July, Chen Duling gave birth to a son and named him Lin Shu.

The single name "Shu" was chosen by Chen Duling himself.

She hoped that as Lin Li’s first son, Lin Shu would become a steady and knowledgeable person, so she chose the word Shu.

At this point, Lin Li achieved the goal of having both a son and a daughter.

The time advanced to 10:31 am on October st.

The sun was shining brightly on that day, and fine gold foil was floating in the core area of ​​Beijing's CBD.

The diamond-cut glass curtain wall of the Nanxun Culture Headquarters Building reflects a cold silver light. The 21-story building is made entirely of German blue-gray ceramic panels, and suspended sky gardens are scattered on the facade. At this moment, a bird is flying over the observation deck on the 17th floor.

Nearly a hundred reporters gathered below the building. A group of senior executives from Nanxun Culture, led by Lin Li in a black suit, all arrived at the scene, spreading out to both sides with Lin Li as the center. Everyone had a happy smile on their face.

Amid the various shouts from the media at the scene, Chen Duling, who had disappeared from the public eye for nearly 200 days, suddenly appeared and stood beside Lin Li in a haze blue satin fishtail skirt.

This dress, specially designed by the haute couture studio, has a three-centimeter-high waistline, and the hollow diamond at the back waist just reveals her smooth skin, making the swarming cameras jump back and forth between close-ups and panoramic views.

"Teacher Chen Duling, may I ask what you were doing during the time you disappeared?"

"There are rumors that you have been pregnant and had a baby during this period. What is your response?"

"Teacher Chen Duling..."

Facing various excited inquiries from the media, Chen Duling simply maintained a decent and generous smile, and followed the procedure to complete the ribbon-cutting ceremony together with Lin Li and a group of Nanxun Culture executives under the gaze of everyone in the audience.

Although her appearance was not stated explicitly, it invisibly confirmed some of the tacit assumptions that everyone had.

In the following year, with the arrival of the epidemic, Lin Li, who had been much more low-key than before, almost disappeared from the public eye, making many fans very sad.

And no one would have thought that their beloved teacher Nan Xun had become a full-time dad. Apart from writing scripts every day, he would travel between No. 8 Xiaoyun Road and the villa halfway up the mountain to take care of the children.

But even so, it does not affect the growing influence of Nanxun culture.

During this year, Tian Xiwei's "Daily Life of a Noble Lady", Meng Ziyi's "Nine Layers of Purple", Li Yitong's "Burst", Reba's "Rise of the Green Soil", and even Zhou Ye's "A Small Shop in the Clouds" were launched one after another, all of which achieved extraordinary results and would inevitably lead the topic of the month during their broadcast.

At the end of 21 and the beginning of December, the prosperous project created by Nanxun Culture after nearly three and a half years was finally launched. As soon as it was launched, it caused a viewing frenzy and heated discussions among the whole nation.

The highest popularity value of "Fanhua" on the Penguin Video site reached 35129, becoming the champion of the popularity rankings in the past two years, surpassing works such as "You Are My Glory" and "Xing Han Canlan".

The popularity value exceeded 3 on the first day of broadcasting. It was broadcast simultaneously on CCTV-3.6, Shanghai Satellite TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV. The CCTV version, Shanghai dialect version and Mandarin version all ranked among the top ten of the daily ratings list. The peak ratings of CCTV- reached .

The Penguin Video barrage score has remained stable at above 8.1 points, and the Douban score has risen from 8.1 at the beginning to 8.4, receiving rave reviews.

Xiaohongshu added more than 5.34 related notes, the reading volume of the topic on Weibo exceeded 196 billion, and the number of short video views on Douyin exceeded 10 billion times, an increase of more than times month-on-month.

Well-known directors such as Wang Jing and Gao Qunshu praised it publicly, calling it an "extra-long version of a movie" and affirming the actors' performances. Hu Ge was compared to "Chow Yun-fat at his peak", and Wang Churan was nominated for the Magnolia Best Supporting Actress for her outstanding performance.

During the broadcast of the entire series, 286 advertisements were embedded, covering the fields of automobiles, beauty, luxury goods, etc. At the members' finale, 40 brands were thanked, making it the most profitable TV drama of 21 years.

From platform data to social discussions, from original work linkage to derivative economy, its influence has surpassed the scope of a single film and television work, becoming a phenomenal cultural event in 2021. Nanxun Culture has also been highly praised and praised by official media.

It is the summer of 22, which is also the fifth year since the establishment of Nanxun Culture.

At midnight on July 7, 3 red sky lanterns were lit at the Shilipu Wharf on the Bund in Shanghai.

When the last lantern merged into the moonlight of the Huangpu River, the young man from the Kuafu tribe on the big screen was inserting a peach wood stick into the top of Mount Kunlun, and the gods and Buddhas in the sky turned into star rain and fell to the earth.

This is the coronation moment for Chinese films. The "Sun Chaser" of the Chinese superhero movie universe, created by Nanxun Culture, has broken through 23 billion US dollars in global box office, officially ranking fourth in the history of world cinema.

For the first time, the giant screen in New York's Times Square lit up in cinnabar red for the oriental hero, and the oracle bone script "朱" dominated the screen for 72 hours in the form of a bronze taotie pattern.

The long line in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art stretched for three blocks. The blond and blue-eyed visitors held the gold-stamped "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and waited for the special exhibition. The security guards had to remind them repeatedly:
"The Yinglong mecha model is sold out, but you can summon Xingtian's war dance in the AR experience area." The "Kuafu morning run" spectacle appeared simultaneously in thirty cities across the country.

At five o'clock in the morning at the Shangdu Ruins Park, tens of thousands of young people wearing red feather forehead bands and holding peach wood shaped fluorescent sticks, chased the morning light along the ancient Xia and Shang Road which is 3,000 years old.

The central axis of the capital city runs from Yongdingmen to the Bell and Drum Tower. Every ninety-nine meters there is a lamp post with a relief sculpture of Houyi shooting the sun. The arrows point to the star maps in the "Huainanzi".

The Dunhuang Research Institute’s emergency announcement ranked third on Weibo’s hot search list.

"The Mogao Grottoes Digital Display Center has a daily limit of 80,000 visitors, and the guides in front of the Flying Apsaras murals are required to carry a decibel tester with them."

The youngest tour guide, Xiao Lu, said with tears in his eyes during the interview: "When tourists pointed to the Nine-Colored Deer in Cave 257 and asked if it was a clue to the "Zhenhai Chapter", I knew that the thousand-year-old culture really came alive!"

The otakus in Shibuya, Tokyo, worship the Sanxingdui bronze vertical-eyed mask, and three thousand handwritten shrine maidens based on Ling Shuang appeared at the Akihabara fan exhibition.

The Left Bank cafes in Paris hang up menus in calligraphy, and waiters will point to the "Xihe" special coffee and wink at customers: "This is the energy of the sun that can give you nine refills."

For the first time, North American theaters added phonetic subtitles for Chinese mythological vocabulary. When Jiang Yan summoned the true form of the giant spirit at the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, cheers of "Wuxia is back" broke out in the Los Angeles theater. After the show, the audience surrounded the poster and continued to debate.

"The curvature of Yinglong's wings is clearly inspired by the Northern Song Dynasty's Wu Zongyuan's "Chaoyuan Xianzhang Tu"!"

The education department issued an urgent notice on the eve of the start of school:

“Primary and secondary schools are allowed to replace summer social practice with movie watching activities.”

A short video uploaded by a Chinese teacher at a middle school in the ancient capital of Chang'an has set the entire internet on fire. Young girls in long, curved-hem gowns lined up on the playground and adapted the "Heavenly Questions" into the Sun-Shooting Bow Exercise, with their sleeves fluttering in the rhythm of Chu Ci.

London's West End Theater adapted a stage play version for this purpose. When the British accent read out "The black bird, sent by Heaven, gave birth to the Shang Dynasty", the British students attending the event shed tears of excitement and pride.

The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra announced that Tan Dun's chime music will be included in the New Year's Concert. In an interview, the conductor gestured to the size of the chime stand unearthed from the drum stand and made the statement.

“This is the real oriental symphony!”

The Nanxun Culture headquarters building remains lit all night long, and twelve cowhide war drums roar in the square day and night.

There are still 630 days until the release of "Zhenhai Chapter", but a long queue of reservations has already formed at the Magic City Planetarium.

The Dome Cinema will premiere a special edition of "Chasing the Sun". It is said that when Houyi's arrow penetrates the screen, all the audience will be able to find their own Twenty-Eight Mansions in the starry sky.

Time moved forward to the morning of August 8, the bronze bell of the Bund Customs Building pierced through the mist, and the dark blue flag of Nanxun Culture fluttered in front of the exchange.

Lin Li stood tall in front of the gilded bronze bell. Behind him, the eighteen shareholders were all wearing custom-made indigo Zhongshan suits. The black bird pattern embroidered on the left lapel was faintly visible in the morning light. This was a totem that Chen Duling specially asked the Suzhou embroidery master to restore with reference to the jade artifacts from Yinxu.

With the momentum of "Chasing the Sun" sweeping the world, Nanxun Culture will be officially listed today!
"when……"

In the aftermath of the hammer's impact, Chen Duling stood on the left side of the third row, with an inconspicuous jade dragonfly button pinned to the collar of her plain white cheongsam.

Only Lin Li knew that this was a modification of the old materials from the Qing Palace that he bought at the Poly Autumn Auction last year. The two ice cracks on the wings just formed the birth date of his son Lin Shu.

"The opening price is 88 yuan!"

The CFO's voice ended with a tremor.

Fragments of light golden rice paper suddenly fell from the dome of the trading hall, each piece was printed with the hand-drawn storyboard of "Chasing the Sun".

A hostess in a dark blue cheongsam was walking around holding a rosewood tray. On the tray was a Ru kiln tea cup filled with Mingqian Longjing tea, which Chen Chao had specially asked for from Jingshan Temple as a lucky draw for the listing.

"It's over 200 billion!"

At this moment, a trader's hoarse shout startled the flocks of peace doves outside the window.

The plain ring on Chen Duling's ring finger was slightly warm, and the word "Twenty-one" on the inside of the ring was right against the fingertip.

This was the first pair of twelve commemorative rings that Lin Li had asked the master craftsman at Lao Feng Xiang to make for the company's fifth anniversary. In addition to her, Tian Xiwei and others also had a pair.

The celebration banquet was held in the Dragon and Phoenix Hall of the Peace Hotel, with forty tables arranged according to the market layout of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

"Boss Lin, I heard that the new offshore fund on the shareholder list is actually operated by a mysterious lady?"

The reporter from "Caijing" came closer to Lin Li while toasting him.

Lin Li shook the wine glass in his hand, and the clear white wine reflected the smile in his eyes.

“Nanxun’s shareholders are all cultural guardians, and gender is not important.”

Chen Duling, who was standing next to him, raised the corners of her lips slightly, with a smile evident in her eyes.

When the midnight bell rang again, Nanxun’s market value was fixed at 2088 billion.

All the Bund landscape lights were simultaneously adjusted to the auspicious golden color unique to bronze ware, and the Customs Bell played a newly arranged version of "The March of the Elephant King".

On this day, Nanxun Culture became the first Chinese film and television stock.

-

three days later.

The setting sun dyed the white sand beach of Lu Island into amber, and the waves wrapped in gold foil-like fragments of light surged onto the instep of Chen Duling's feet. She smiled, lifted up her skirt and took two steps back, the shell pendant on her ankle jingling.

Two golden retrievers suddenly jumped out from behind, leaving plum blossom prints on her chiffon skirt with their wet claws, and then rushed into the deep waves with joy.

"Run slowly!"

Lin Li ran up to him, holding his two-year-old son in one hand. The little boy giggled and poked his sweaty neck with his chubby fingers, while his other hand was holding half a piece of deformed plasticine.

Transparent shells were scattered on the beach where the tide had receded. The little guy suddenly flipped over in Lin Li's arms and pointed at a crevice in the reef and called out in a baby voice.

"Crab! Crab! Crab!"

"Let me help the baby."

Chen Duling squatted down, with the ends of her hair hanging among the sand grains with an orange-red luster.

She carefully turned over the moist seaweed and found a fingernail-sized hermit crab moving sideways with a spiral shell on its back.

"Look, baby, this is the little beach guard."

She lifted up the little guy's hand and held it loosely, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the dog leash sticking out of Lin Li's trouser pocket.

Ever since the golden retriever learned to run with it in its mouth, the two leashes have become decorations for their walks.

The sea breeze brought the sound of the ferry's whistle in the distance, and the setting sun was hanging above the red roofs of Gulangyu Island.

When Chen Duling stood up, Lin Li suddenly put his free hand around her waist, and his warm palm burned into her skin through the thin fabric.

"You've got seaweed in your hair."

He chuckled quietly but stole a kiss on her ear.

The son in her arms followed suit, kissing her neck with his little mouth covered with coconut candy.

At this time, two golden retrievers came back with a ball of kelp in their mouths to claim credit, and their wet tails swept up the fine sand.

Chen Duling reached out to take it, but Lin Li grabbed the suspicious dark green ball first.

"Have you forgotten the lesson from when they brought back the jellyfish?"

Before he could finish his words, the little ancestor had already twisted his body and slid down to the ground, staggering towards one of the golden retrievers.

The dog immediately crawled onto the blanket, letting the little hands grab its ears and use them as reins.

Lin Li and Chen Duling smiled at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

As dusk deepens, the beach lights up like strings of camping lights.

Chen Duling moved the sleeping kid to her left shoulder, and her right hand naturally slid into Lin Li's palm.

The sound of the tide was mixed with the splashing sound of the golden retriever chasing the waves, and she suddenly remembered the conversation in the Maldives two years ago.

The beach covered with dog paw prints at this moment is the future that Lin Li promised.

"Xiaotian met Chu Ran again at Loewe's event last time, and they almost tore each other's hair in front of each other. Did you know about this?"

After leaning on Lin Li's shoulder for a while, Chen Duling suddenly spoke.

Lin Li's mouth twitched and he said "hmm" softly.

"Xiaotian has a bad temper, and Churan has a bit of a hidden madness. These two have always been at odds with each other. Fortunately, they held back at the critical moment. Not many people saw it, and the news was only spread by a few people. But you have to talk to them both. They are so old now."

Chen Duling raised her head and rested her chin on his shoulder, then sighed softly.

"Sure, I'll call them right back!"

Lin Li raised his left hand and assured with a serious expression.

"Well, tell me about it."

"It's just the two of them. Jingyi and Yezi have never gotten along well and always have a few words with each other when they meet, but it's just verbal combat."

Chen Duling straightened up and glanced at Lin Shu in his arms. The little guy was sleeping soundly.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered something else and looked up at Lin Li.

"By the way, Reba said she will be taking a half-month break starting next week and invited me to her house."

"It is said that……"

She paused and looked at Lin Li with a teasing expression.

"Is that the house she used to support you?"

Lin Li touched his nose awkwardly and nodded slightly.

"That's what happened."

Chen Duling looked him up and down with a playful smile, the corners of her lips slightly raised.

"Indeed, our teacher Nanxun has raised so many people, it would be nice to be raised by someone else occasionally for a change."

Her mischievous look made Lin Li's face twitch slightly.

"Well... not a lot actually."

Lin Li coughed lightly, his tone sounding a little lacking in confidence.

Chen Duling stared at him with a half-smile, and only opened her mouth slowly after staring at him to the point of making him feel creepy.

"Except for Ruth, who I'm familiar with, there are Tongtong and Ziyi. Xiaoxiao is being raised by you in Wanliu. That little Lu has been coming to the company quite often recently, right?"

"Oh, by the way, I heard that Hu Lianxin from the Central Academy of Drama was bullied by Xiaotian?"

"When I first met you, the second female lead in the crew was called Wang Zixuan, right? I heard that she just got our new drama..."

"Ahem...Dudu, no need to say more, I admit it, I admit it, I admit it all."

Lin Li interrupted Chen Duling's unfinished words. He was afraid that if Chen Duling continued speaking, even the Koreans would be pointed out.

"Teacher Nanxun, are you planning to gather all thirty-six celestial beings?"

Chen Duling tilted her head and looked at him, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"How could that be? After having Wanwan and this little baby in your arms, I have already changed my mind!"

Lin Li stared at her seriously.

"Ah……"

"Do you think I believe it or not?"

Chen Duling chuckled and rolled her eyes at him.

"Uh... well, I see what those two dogs are digging for again. Their mouths were swollen from being pinched by crabs last time, and they still dare to dig around."

Lin Li's eyes were wandering because of the criticism, but when he saw the two dogs from the corner of his eyes, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He quickly stood up and rushed towards them.

Chen Duling looked at his back and smiled. She was already used to him using such half-hearted excuses to get away with it.

She looked down at Lin Shu in her arms and gently scratched his chin.

"Baby, don't learn from your daddy in the future."

After saying this, I found it funny and shook my head gently.

She looked at the figure of Lin Li playing with two golden retrievers in the distance and wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction.

"It's all your fault, Lin Dog!"

"Humph!"
