Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 229 228. Zhou Hui's Difficulties

Faced with Lin Xiao blocking her way, Zhou Hui panicked.

"You, what do you want to do?!"

Although she tried to remain calm, her voice trembled uncontrollably.

Lin Xiao smiled relaxedly: "Sister Hui, don't be so nervous. This is a rule of law era. Even if I am unhappy, I can't lock you up and beat you up, right?"

Zhou Hui: “…”

She was speechless and thought to herself, "You're the best!"

Lin Xiao bared his teeth again and asked in a cynical tone, "I just want to ask, Sister Hui resigned so readily, has she already found a new job?"

Zhou Hui's brows tightened, and a hint of panic flashed across her eyes.

She quickly calmed down and pretended to be calm: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

Lin Xiao snorted disdainfully and said with a smile: "Sister Hui, you are boring! Isn't today a confession session? You just said so much, accusing my wife of disrespecting you, accusing her of not being ambitious, not cherishing her great career but rushing to have children for others... You can't just analyze and interpret others like biological specimens, but avoid the important issues and hide them when it comes to yourself. Isn't this double standard?"

Lin Xiao's words made Zhou Hui look away and speechless, but it made Han Xixi quickly get out of the mood of self-blame and regret, and quickly regained his senses and realized that something was wrong.

Lin Xiao smiled and asked again: "Since Sister Hui refused to tell me, I will guess - what position did Dadi Media give you, a senior agent? Or a company partner?"

When Zhou Hui heard the words "Dadi Media", panic finally showed in her eyes and she could no longer remain calm.

Han Xixi, who was standing by, suddenly understood.

Just now, when facing Zhou Hui's passionate accusations, she clearly felt that she had done nothing wrong.

But she didn't know if it was because of the pregnancy, but her thinking was not as clear and agile as before she became pregnant. Zhou Hui morally blackmailed her, so much so that she began to doubt: Was it really because she didn't respect her agent enough that she became discouraged, turned from love to hate, and finally turned against her and helped outsiders frame her?
She couldn't tell what was wrong.

Now with a little guidance from Lin Xiao, Xixi's confused thoughts were immediately put into order, and she realized - it's impossible, it can't be just because of this!

Even if Zhou Hui hated herself, it was impossible for her to help Zhong Jiawen for no reason.

Unless, Zhong Jiawen gave her a benefit that was hard to refuse.

And Zhong Jiawen is an artist of Dadi Media. The funny thing is that Dadi Media is a little-known company in the circle and it was established only a few years ago.

The capital behind the company is unknown, and the only artist under it is Zhong Jiawen.

This sounds weird.

But in fact, this practice of setting up a company for an artist is not an isolated case in the entertainment industry.

The big boss is generous and spends hundreds of millions to make his mistress happy. It’s no big deal!

Han Xixi himself is not interested in this kind of gossip.

The reason why she knew all this was that when she was still participating in "The Voice of China", this tempting olive branch had already been thrown to her continuously from the capital circle.

It would be difficult for her not to know the ins and outs of this.

If it weren't for her strict family education and her emotional cleanliness, she might not have waited for Zhou Hui to sign and she would have already become the canary of some big boss.

Han Xixi had no intention of commenting on Zhong Jiawen.

But speaking objectively, Zhou Hui inexplicably put in so much effort and cooperated with the program team to promote this newcomer who just debuted.

The reasons behind this are by no means simple.

before.

Facing Lin Xiao's explicit accusation, Zhou Hui could no longer maintain the calmness and composure on her face.

But she was still full of confidence, holding her head high and saying, "I accepted the invitation from Dadi Media to be their agent! Good birds choose the right trees to inhabit, what's the problem with that?"

Lin Xiao hurriedly said: "No problem, no problem at all! As long as you are willing to admit that you are a bird!"

Zhou Hui: “…”

He sneered and did not respond.

Lin Xiao smiled and continued to ask, "Since you have admitted that you are a spy sent by Dadi Media, why don't you be more generous, Sister Hui, and tell us how much money they spent to bribe you? Five hundred thousand? One million? Or two million?"

These words were said in a teasing tone, and the contempt in the tone almost filled the entire dressing room, making the listener feel very uncomfortable.

Zhou Hui felt as if she had been stripped naked, and was shaking with anger: "Lin Xiao, stop spitting blood on me!"

Lin Xiao made a "tsk" sound as if he was coaxing a child.

"Sister Hui, you are so boring now. I just praised you for being brave enough to take responsibility for your actions. Why are you afraid to admit it now?"

"you……"

"You are smart, and I am not stupid!"

Lin Xiao said in a light tone, "We've been talking about value for a long time, but not a single word hits the point. Let's get straight to the point. Dadi Media not only promised you a position, but there must be a more tempting money deal. Otherwise, you wouldn't risk being spurned by the industry, dig a hole for Han Xixi, and forcefully promote that little Karami named Zhong Jiawen!"

Lin Xiao said, sneering: "Just now you talked for a long time, saying that Xixi doesn't respect you, has no ambition, and her career stagnated after she got pregnant... I'm not saying that these are all false, but even if they are true, you will never give up on her and turn to someone else.

"Because with Xixi's current fame, popularity and status in the music industry, even if she doesn't want to make progress, and no matter how much the pregnancy and childbirth will affect her career, after all, her status is there. She can earn a lot of money just by appearing on a show or taking part in some variety shows.

"You are so smart, it is impossible that you can't see that Han Xixi, as an artist, has the highest input-output ratio in the entire entertainment industry. It is equivalent to you picking up a cash cow for free without paying anything. If it were someone else, they would be so happy that they would be at a loss. Even if an artist has a bad temper, they have to endure it. After all, it's about making money, and there is nothing shameful about it.

"You are so good, you even raised this to the level of value and sentiment. Stop talking nonsense! You are such a smart person, how could you hate money? There is only one reason why you would take such a risk and give up Xixi, the big tree, and that is that others offered you a higher price... right?"

Lin Xiao asked the last two words with a smile, looking harmless.

But the implied coldness in it made Zhou Hui feel cold all over, and she began to regret whether she had made the wrong choice and offended someone she shouldn't have offended.

But at this point, there is no point in thinking about it anymore.

"What do you mean now? Are you two bullying others together?" Zhou Hui started to act like a spoiled child.

"Hey, don't let the bad guys complain first!"

Lin Xiao was still smiling and cynical, "You were the one who bullied my wife first, and colluded with outsiders to take advantage of her popularity. That's not enough, you also wanted to blackmail her morally, attribute all the reasons to her, and make yourself look so pitiful and wronged... No, are you performing magic tricks?"

Zhou Hui was speechless, her lips trembling slightly.

I didn't realize before, but this man is really good at talking, just like his wife.

It would be a shame if the couple didn’t perform crosstalk!

"Okay, I'm profit-driven and I'm sorry to Han Xixi. Are you satisfied?" Zhou Hui said angrily.

"Not satisfied!"

Lin Xiao spoke frankly.

Zhou Hui felt a little uncomfortable as if she had played a rogue in the wrong place, and gritted her teeth and said, "So what do you want? Sue me?"

"What? Do you think we don't dare?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Of course you dare. After all, I'm just an agent. I don't have the power to represent you two songwriters and sign a copyright agreement with Mango TV for the song "The Magic of Love"!"

Zhou Hui said this, but her attitude didn't seem to care.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Sister Hui, I know what you are thinking!"

Zhou Hui's eyes flickered but she didn't respond.

Lin Xiao continued, "You are just in the clear. This matter is not just about you and Dadi Media colluding, Mango TV is also involved. If we want to sue you, it is equivalent to offending Mango TV. If we offend Mango TV, the leader of music variety shows, it will be difficult for Han Xixi to survive in the mainland music scene in the future... In this regard, you think we will be cautious and will never take the path of legal proceedings even if we want to eat you alive, right?"

Zhou Hui remained speechless, her eyes gradually tightened, and she dared not show off anymore.

What Lin Xiao said was indeed what she was thinking.

But when she thought about it this way, she felt at ease. However, when these words came out of Lin Xiao's mouth, she felt as if her clothes were being stripped off one by one, and she began to feel panicked for some reason.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Do you still think that Zhong Jiawen and Dong Li's cover today was a success? This version of "The Magic of Love" will be the most successful version other than Xixi's original version, and it has received rave reviews online. If Han Xixi sues you in court at this time, it would be like telling the entire Internet that you are petty and jealous of other singers' successful covers of your work. Even if you win the lawsuit, you will lose people's hearts, right?"

Zhou Hui: “…”

As Lin Xiao analyzed her words one by one, her calmness was gone and she felt as nervous as if she was scratching a blackboard.

She always felt that Lin Xiao spoke so calmly, he must have thought of a solution.

However, after waiting for a while, I saw him smile indifferently.

"You guessed it right. I really can't do anything to you!"

"???"

Zhou Hui's eyes widened, thinking, what can I do, you keep talking to me for so long, are you having fun? !

Lin Xiao saw through her thoughts and said with a smile, "Tell me the truth, Sister Hui. I don't care that you schemed against Xixi this time, and I believe Xixi doesn't care either. Anyway, you, Dadi Media, and Mango TV, the three parties have set up such a big stage and performed such a big show. You all benefit - but to put it bluntly, my wife didn't lose anything.

"On the contrary, you guys are the ones who have to pay us copyright fees in the end! Not only that, I just took a look at the trending searches on Weibo, and as you expected, Zhong Jiawen has successfully become popular this time. Now all three topics on the trending searches are related to her..."

Lin Xiao smiled calmly, "But what? Zhong Jiawen's popularity has no impact on us. On the contrary, her popularity has driven the song "The Magic of Love" back to the major charts... It's embarrassing to say that this song is the worst of all Xixi's songs, but now it seems to be the most profitable one. You have painstakingly planned such a big circle, and in the end, my husband and I just sit back and reap the benefits. Speaking of it, it's really embarrassing!"

Lin Xiao had an expression that showed he was overjoyed but felt unworthy of the gift.

Zhou Hui was completely dumbfounded.

No, that's not the script I wrote. Shouldn't you feel that you are being schemed against and used, and then be furious and shout for war?
Why do I hear you say...you have to thank me?
There was a moment of awkwardness in the room.

Finally, Zhou Hui couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Since you knew you didn't suffer any loss, why did you stop me from leaving and talk so much nonsense?"

Lin Xiao smiled brightly.

"You have to make money, but you can't make it carelessly. You have to make your words clear!"

As Lin Xiao spoke, he reached out his hand to his wife behind him, gently pulled her to his side, and smiled at Zhou Hui, "Originally, although what you did was not right, we didn't suffer any loss, and it ended in a muddled way. But Sister Hui, you took advantage of me and started to blackmail me morally, as if my wife had wronged you, this is not okay!

"My wife is pregnant now. She is sensitive and easily gets stuck in a rut. I can't let her be schemed against and think that she did something wrong. In the end, she can only watch the crazy increase in the number in her bank card, feeling sad and self-doubting... This is not good and is not conducive to prenatal education!"

Suddenly the topic of "prenatal education" came up, and Zhou Hui and Han Xixi couldn't hold it in anymore.

Xixi just laughed out loud, and the gloom on her face disappeared.

Zhou Hui's face turned more and more pale - this was not just about being stripped naked, it was about being stripped naked and paraded through the streets to dance erotically!
She was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and she fell into an unprecedented frustration.

But Lin Xiao still refused to let her go.

If the continuous attacks just now could only be considered physical attacks, then the following words were the real psychological strangulation.

"Stop joking and talk seriously!"

Lin Xiao put away his playful smile and said calmly, "Sister Hui, we can actually sue you - this is really not a threat! Do you think we are afraid of offending Mango TV, afraid of triggering public opinion and being accused of being short-sighted by netizens... You are really wrong. Don't you think that Xixi can give up her promising career and get pregnant and have a child at the peak of her career? Do you think she will still care about the reputation of Mango TV and the comments and judgments of netizens?"

Zhou Hui was startled suddenly. She suddenly felt like she had solved a bunch of math problems and finally figured out a known condition.

She suddenly understood.

Only then did she realize that she had been planning carefully for so long, but she had always been thinking from a personal perspective, but she forgot that the things she cared about and feared, Han Xixi actually didn't care about or fear at all.

At this moment, she was really panicked.

"But don't worry, I just said we won't sue you. I wasn't kidding you. It was our truth!" Lin Xiao said again.

This time, Zhou Hui was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Why?"

Lin Xiao and his wife looked at each other and suddenly said, "You have an autistic child, right?"

This sudden sentence shocked Zhou Hui and also shocked Han Xixi.

They both looked at him in disbelief.

Zhou Hui took a long time to say, "How...how did you know?"

Lin Xiao said solemnly: "I'm sorry, I accidentally glanced at your phone screen one time and saw you and the doctor discussing your son's condition... and I knew it!"

Zhou Hui was silent.

Han Xixi was still extremely shocked.

"So you are feeling sorry for me?!" Zhou Hui said this almost with gritted teeth.

She is an extremely strong person.

She can ignore the insults, ridicule and attacks from others and never take them to heart.

But the pity and sympathy of others almost killed her.

Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of feeling sorry for others!"

Zhou Hui's body trembled and she looked at him angrily.

Lin Xiao said calmly: "I do understand. You have such a child, and your husband left you because he couldn't bear the burden. You are very pitiful, but also very strong. In order to take care of your child, you work very hard, and even betray your conscience and frame your artists, just to get a large sum of money quickly so that your son can get better care..."

He paused, his tone still calm: "I do understand, but I don't agree! If it was before, I would not forgive your betrayal just because of your difficulties, I would still sue you! But now, I won't!"

Zhou Hui was stunned for a moment, truly feeling the seriousness of Lin Xiao's words.

"…Why?" she finally asked.

"Because, I also have my weakness!"

Lin Xiao said this in a gentle tone and held Xixi's hand even tighter.

Zhou Hui's whole body was shaken.

Lin Xiao continued: "I am also going to be a father soon, and I can feel the bond of blood. It is not easy for you... I say this not because I sympathize with you, but because I admire you!
“It is true that I can now stand on the moral high ground to accuse you, but if I put myself in your shoes, if my child needs me to sell my conscience and morality to earn a better life for him in the future, I believe I will do the same!

"So I can't blame you, and naturally I can't prosecute you in an impartial manner... Just think of it as accumulating blessings for my child. You and Xixi have cooperated, so let's part ways in peace today. If you have any difficulties in your work or life in the future, feel free to contact Xixi, and we will do our best to help you!"

The last sentence was said solemnly and sincerely. Zhou Hui was stunned.

While doing all this, she had already anticipated all possible outcomes for herself: becoming enemies with Han Xixi, being sued by the company, being banned from the industry... she had thought of it all.

But in order to get the huge sum of money from Dadi Media, she finally decided to do it without hesitation.

In fact, Zhou Hui is not a short-sighted person.

She knew that even if Han Xixi became pregnant and gave birth to a child, her career would be delayed for a while.

But the music industry is different from the film and television industry. As long as a singer has works to his credit, he can survive for the rest of his life even if he just lives off his past achievements.

But she didn't dare to gamble.

According to the cooperation agreement between the agent and the singer, the agent can only get a share of the income from announcements, endorsements, variety shows, concerts, etc., but the agent has no way to participate in the sharing of the copyright income of the songs. The bulk of this income is taken away by the company.

She didn't dare to bet whether Han Xixi would still be ambitious after giving birth to a child.

She is a mother herself, and she knows too well that once a woman becomes a mother, she devotes almost all her heart and soul to her children. It is nonsense to try to balance her career and life.

In particular, Han Xixi comes from a wealthy family and has an outstanding husband.

This kind of woman who lives in the clouds doesn't care about the trivialities of her career. This can be seen from the fact that she refuses to appear on variety shows to make quick money and gets pregnant and has a baby at such a young age.

After Zhou Hui learned that Han Xixi was pregnant, she concluded that her singing career was over.

Of course, she ended it on her own initiative.

Han Xixi is like a fairy who has descended to earth. After having some fun, she goes back to heaven to be a fairy.

But Zhou Hui can't.

She needs a career and money, lots of money.

But as an agent, she herself is not the best in the industry. After so many years in the industry, Han Xixi is the only one under her who has become famous, and she became famous very quickly and became extremely famous.

Of course, Han Xixi's popularity has nothing to do with her agent.

But it is undeniable.

Zhou Hui made a lot of money from Han Xixi.

If Han Xixi doesn't get pregnant, Zhou Hui won't be in a hurry even if she has a poor career ambition.

After all, a steady flow of water is enough for her to drink.

But this girl happened to be secretly pregnant, which was tantamount to destroying his own job.

Zhou Hui found it hard to accept such an outcome.

She doesn’t know how long it will take her to make the next artist famous, nor does she know if she will have such luck again.

Therefore, she decided to take a risk and accepted the "invitation" from Dadi Media, intending to make a big splash before Han Xixi retired.

In fact.

Up to this point, Zhou Hui's plan has been very successful.

Zhong Jiawen’s popularity this time is no less than Han Xixi’s “keeping photos” last year, the only difference is that Han Xixi was in a negative light at that time, while Zhong Jiawen is in a positive light this time.

Zhou Hui has made great contributions to this great achievement, and Dadi Media will not treat her unfairly.

With this money, she no longer has to worry about her son’s medical expenses for the next two years.

She even calculated that Han Xixi would not do anything to her, and she could get away with it, with only a little remorse in her conscience.

But in the adult world, conscience is the most useless thing.

Zhou Hui calculated everything.

The only thing she didn't expect was that Lin Xiao would say to her: If you have any difficulties in the future, you can contact us and we will do our best to help you!
This moment.

Zhou Hui's self-deception of "people don't care about themselves" and her long-paralyzed "a mother must be strong" suddenly collapsed and was completely defeated.

Tears fell from her red eyes, and her eyes were full of guilt and remorse.

Finally, he bent his upright spine and said with sobs:

"Sorry……"

……

Leave the TV station.

Lin Xiao drove Han Xixi back to Ninghai.

It was almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Lin Xiao originally planned to sleep in the hotel for one night and go back tomorrow morning.

But Xixi insisted on leaving, and Lin Xiao had no choice but to obey her.

It was pitch black on the highway late at night and there were not many vehicles.

Lin Xiao turned on the high beam and controlled the speed at 100. The atmosphere in the car was depressing and the radio was playing an old song at a very low volume.

"elder brother……"

After a long while, Han Xixi finally spoke softly.

"Hmm?" Lin Xiao looked straight ahead.

"Thank you..." Xixi said.

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you for caring about my feelings and what you just said to Sister Hui..."

Xixi's tone was calm, and she no longer had the self-doubt she had just had.

She sighed, "I know you stopped Sister Hui and talked for so long, just to tell me that she had her reasons for doing what she did, and that she was wrong, but no matter what, it has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything wrong, right?"

Lin Xiao nodded and grinned, "My wife is smart. She understood it right away!"

Xixi was amused by her and burst out laughing, and her mood became much happier.

"Don't worry, brother. I understand everything. We won't waste time on this matter anymore!"

"Well, that's good!"

"But... there's just one thing I still don't understand!"

Xixi frowned again and sighed, "Even if Sister Hui wanted to cooperate with Dadi Media and wanted to help Zhong Jiawen to take advantage of my popularity, there was no need to hide it from me! She could have discussed it with me. Am I so petty that I can't let others sing my songs?"

Hearing his wife's doubts, Lin Xiao shook his head and laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

"Yes, yes, my wife is certainly not a petty person, but..."

"but what?"

"But you underestimated Zhou Hui's caution, and also underestimated the ambitions of Zhong Jiawen and the capital behind her!"

"Um?!"

Xixi frowned in confusion.

Lin Xiao explained: "Let me ask you, what do you think is the reason why Zhong Jiawen succeeded in breaking out of the circle this time? Is it because of her cover of the song "The Magic of Love" and her good cover?"

Han Xixi was speechless for a moment, and seemed to understand something.

"Not really. 'The Magic of Love' is not a difficult song to sing. As long as you have good singing skills, you can basically sing it well!"

Lin Xiao analyzed carefully, "It has been several months since the release of this song. It has caused a wave of singing along on Douyin, and several singers have also sung covers of it, which has caused a wave of popularity, but the popularity is gone, and it has not added any bonus to the singer himself.

"This time, Zhong Jiawen put a lot of effort into this cover, changing the female solo to a male and female chorus, and also incorporating the most popular dance moves, which is obviously intended to stir up popularity.

"But even so, the amount of online attention that can be generated is very limited, and they don't expect to be exposed by covering the songs themselves."

Lin Xiao paused and continued, "That's why Zhou Hui didn't discuss it with you, but kept it a secret from you. Because she knew that it wasn't difficult to convince you to sell the copyright, but it was difficult to let Zhong Jiawen perform on stage in front of you!"

Han Xixi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly it dawned on him.

Lin Xiao said: "If it is a cover, the normal logic is to arrange for Zhong Jiawen to sing this song with you, the original singer, which is the basic operation. But in this way, Zhong Jiawen will not get any advantage over you, the original singer, and the topic and popularity will still be on you, and her goal of breaking out of the circle will not be achieved.

"So she had to ignore you and sing the cover herself, but she couldn't completely ignore you. She also had to take advantage of your popularity, so she colluded with the program team to arrange the order of your appearances one after the other. The host called out the song "The Magic of Love", and everyone thought that you, the original singer, would appear, but you didn't, which was enough to attract attention.

"Then right after the cover, you, the original singer, came on stage and sang a different song... This outrageous design is more talked about than a simple cover, and it has indeed successfully gone viral. Now almost the entire Internet is paying attention to this matter.

"Plus, Zhong Jiawen and Dong Li's covers were not bad, and their strength increased her popularity. She became famous overnight. Her four minutes of appearance time was much more useful than her being a background board on the show for so many episodes. And this achievement was completely based on the premise of calculating you... Do you think Zhou Hui could have told you in advance?"

After listening to her husband's detailed analysis, Han Xixi finally understood everything.

"I never thought I was so valuable... I'm so flattered!"

She said with a helpless smile.

Lin Xiao heard her calm tone and she didn't sound unwilling, so he knew that she had completely let it go.

So he also joked: "You think so! You are now the hottest new star in the music industry, not just some nobody... It's time to see the dangers of the entertainment industry!"

Han Xixi pouted: "Oh my, you talk as if you have been in the entertainment industry!!"

Lin Xiao choked: "I... I haven't eaten pork but I've seen pigs run! The whole network knows that domestic entertainment is over. Do you think I can have a good impression of the entertainment industry?"

Han Xixi leaned back in her chair dejectedly.

"What should I do? I've already entered the circle. It's too late to get out now, right?"

"It's still in time, it's still in time!" Lin Xiao said hurriedly.

"In time?"

"Of course!"

Lin Xiao stretched out his right hand, touched his wife's belly, and said with a calm smile, "Your company must have known about Zhou Hui's plot against you. Now that "The Voice of China" has ended, you can take this opportunity to ask the company for a few months of rest and prepare for the birth of your baby. They won't dare to say anything.

"Think carefully about how you should treat this career in the next few months. Let me make it clear first. I am not advising you to quit the music industry and stay at home to take care of your husband and children. I just think that your personality is not suitable for the entertainment industry. In addition, you have been popular and unpopular during this period of time. It can be considered an effective exit from the entertainment industry.

"Since you have achieved your dream of becoming a singer, and you don't have too high aspirations or a strong sense of career, there is no need to keep wasting time in this circle. Of course, there is no need to quit the circle directly, a semi-retired state will do.

"Your company didn't bother to train you anyway. If you earn one dollar, they'll just take fifty cents for free. They won't make things difficult for you. When you get tired of staying at home, you can come back anytime you want. I'll write new songs for you, and you can hold concerts and appear on variety shows. When you get tired of playing, just go home. Isn't that wonderful?"

Han Xixi was stunned and could not believe her ears.

What Lin Xiao just described is definitely the state that a singer dreams of. Others might not even dare to think about it.

But in his mouth, it came out lightly.

The key is that Han Xixi doesn’t think he is bragging - he can really do it!
Han Xixi was at a loss for words and couldn't help but say, "Husband, how could I have met such a talented person like you? With you in my hands, I can walk sideways in the entertainment industry!"

Lin Xiao felt numb all over when he heard his wife's lamb-like praise.

"What did you say?"

"Can I walk sideways in the entertainment industry?"

"That's not it!"

"How could I have met someone as talented as you?"

"no……"

Lin Xiao turned around, his expression lewd, "You said 'I'm in your hands'? How are you going to hold me in your hands?"

Han Xixi didn't understand what he meant at first.

It wasn't until I saw his lustful eyes and recalled the action of "holding" that my brain circuit suddenly became clear.

Her face immediately turned red, and she glared at the old pervert in embarrassment.

Lin Xiao laughed as if his prank had succeeded.

Since I can't have a deep communication with my wife, it's good to tease her and satisfy my verbal urge.

The atmosphere in the car was relaxed, and all the negative emotions caused by Zhou Hui's betrayal were completely swept away at this moment.

It was late at night and not far from home.

Xixi is pregnant and has been busy these past few days, so she is really exhausted.

He then reclined the chair and closed his eyes.

Lin Xiao was about to turn off the radio, but was stopped by Xixi, who said that listening to the sound could be used as white noise to help him sleep.

He gave up.

Melodious music was playing in the car. After a song, the host suddenly said, "I just saw a piece of news. The typhoon 'Longyan' from the Pacific Ocean suddenly changed its course two hours ago and is heading towards my country's southeastern coastal areas. It is expected to land in ten hours. This is really a worrying news!

"I sincerely hope that Typhoon Longyan can follow its original track towards South Korea and the island countries, but at the same time, I also hope that friends in the southeastern coastal areas will take precautions and protect themselves and their families from the typhoon weather. Good night, everyone."

After a melodious tune, commercials began to play on the radio station.

Lin Xiao frowned tightly, and a feeling of uneasiness spread throughout his body...
