118. A Banquet Held For The One Month Old Baby

Wei Chang Feng guessed right. A few days after Qi Le An returned to Hai City, a director surnamed Guan came to him.

He used the most simple and crude way to meet Qi Le An. He went directly to Qi Le An’s school and waited for him at the gate, but he met him at last. However, the director was not impulsive. He followed Qi Le An’s car for quite a while. When Qi Le An’s driver found they had been stalked, the director got out of the car and revealed his identity to him.

Qi Le An was a little dumbfounded, but the director from Hong Kong looked sincere and said in a hurry, “Hi! I’m the director of “Someone Likes Blue”. Can we talk?”

The director’s Mandarin was poor and sounded funny. Qi Le An barely understood it and said with embarrassment, “My agent isn’t here…”

The director, a thin and weak man in his thirties, looked wronged. “Your agent and company refused to see me… Let’talklk, okay?”

Only then did Qi Le An know that he had been refused a few times.

The director found Qi Le An was hesitant and said, “It won’t take a few minutes. I promise it will be finished within ten minutes. Is that OK?”

Seeing the director’s sincere expression, Qi Le An couldn’t help but nod.

The director sighed in relief.

The director had planned this for a long time and the plan was also practiced. He immediately brought Qi Le An to the cafe. Qi Le An told the driver the situation and followed the director in. During this period, the director’s eyes were fixed on Qi Le An and he felt more satisfied with him.

After they sat down, the director directly came to the point. “Qi Le An, you fit the image of Lan! I hope you can play this role!”

Facing his enthusiasm, Qi Le An said calmly, “I’m sorry. My broker and company have expressed their attitude clearly.”

The director blinked and said cunningly, “But you still met with me, right?”

Qi Le An didn’t respond. ‘What a cunning man!’

The director nagged for a long time, but Qi Le An had hin thoughts. He did like this story, but Chen Shan’s attitude was firm and Yin Yan didn’t think well of it. ‘For the sake of harmony, I’d better give up.’

‘Besides, there are many intimate touches in this drama. I don’t like to have that kind of contact with a stranger. I won’t sacrifice myself for art!’

Qi Le An was absent-minded but still smiled politely. The director had talked for a long time and then used his last resort. “We invited Wei Chang Feng to play the role of the f male lead.”

Qi Le An was shocked. ‘Why didn’t Wei Chang Feng tell it to me? When we parted a few days ago, he could guess that I was in a bad state because of this story. If he accepts it, he will tell me, right?’

Qi Le An asked in relief, “Did Wei Chang Feng agree?”

The director said, “… No, but we had a happy talk last time. Wei Chang Feng also showed interest in the movie. I believe he will agree.”

Qi Le An really wanted to ask why he was so confident.

The confident director continued, “It’s a meaningful movie. Trust me. You won’t regret accepting it.”

Qi Le An said apologetically, “Director Guan, I’m so sorry. It isn’t up to me to accept a movie.”

“In other words, do I just need to convince your broker and company?” The director’s eyes lit up.

“No, I didn’t say that.” Qi Le An quickly denied.

“I got it. You don’t need to explain.” The director said confidently, “Leave it to me and rest assured.”

Qi Le An felt helpless. ‘What did you understand? I haven’t understood yet.’

As if he had figured it out, the director stopped pestering Qi Le An and happily sent him off the cafe. However, as soon as Qi Le An entered his house, he received a call from Chen Shan.

“Qi Le An! What the hell did you say to Guan Kai?” Chen Shan’s voice was full of helplessness.

“I didn’t say anything to him!” Qi Le An was shocked, “He blocked me at my school gate today and I rejected him.”

Chen Shan asked, “Reject? But why did he say that you agreed?”

“I really didn’t,” Qi Le An cried, “Trust me.”

Chen Shan snorted, “Trust you? You did something like that before.”

Qi Le An, “Fine. You’re more eloquent than me.”

Fortunately, Chen Shan didn’t continue. He asked Qi Le An to do his homework and then rang off angrily. He was likely to argue with Guan Kai.

However, Guan Kai seemed to have targeted Qi Le An and did not care about the hardships ahead.

The next day, when Chen Shan came to pick up Qi Le An from school, he met Guan Kai again.

Guan Kai laughed kindly while Chen Shan’s veins kept throbbing.

“Hey! What a coincidence! Would you like to have a meal with me?”

Chen Shan rolled down the car window with a sullen face.

On the third day, Guan Kai said with a smile, “We meet again. What a coincidence!”

On the fourth day, “It must be fate that is working between us. Don’t you really want to consider it?”

On the fifth day, it was the weekend, so Guan Kai couldn’t block them and Chen Shan was relieved.

“Is the director from Hong Kong so clingy?” Chen Shan looked unbelievable. “He hay stalked us like a paparazzi for five days! Five days! He even followed me to my house! My dad asked me if I’ve made a bad friend!”

Qi Le An, who saw Chen Shan feeling discouraged for the first time, held back his smile and kept silent.

Chen Shan glared at Qi Le An, “At this time, the most important thing is firmness! Do you have other thoughts?”

Qi Le An raised his hands and said, “No, boss, don’t worry.”

Chen Shan snorted.

Qi Le An’s impulse did fade a lot after a few days. He decided to listen to Chen Shan and Yin Yan’s opinions on such an important matter.

Seeing that Qi Le An was obedient, Chen Shan said with great satisfaction, “Call the driver to pick you up tomorrow. Go there right after you wake up.”

Qi Le An nodded and was a little nervous. “Is it okay for me to go there?” Tomorrow, Chen Shan’s fat sister was a month old and his mom specifically invited Qi Le An to the birthday party.

Chen Shan waved his hand and said, “My mother has been longing to see you a long time ago.”

Qi Le An had never seen Chen Shan’s mom, but she often asked Chen Shan to bring gifts to him. Qi Le An sometimes gave gifts in return. They had been friends for a long time and had never had a chance to meet each other. Now they finally got a chance.

Others attended the party with gifts for the baby, so Qi Le An had to follow the customs. He bought a light longevity lock and prepared a gift for Chen Shan’s mom.

The next day, Qi Le An deliberately came to Chen Shan’s house before the banquet officially started. The Chen Family was famous in Hai City and had many guests. Before Qi Le An could enter the villa, he saw the cheerful layout in the yard.

Because a banquet was gonna be held in the hall on the first floor, the maids walked around in a hurry and there was noise.

Chen Shan received a call and came out to greet him personally. Some close friends of the Chen family arrived in advance. When they saw Qi Le An who was delicate and obedient, they asked Chen Shan who he was. Chen Shan answered them indirectly and then brought Qi Le An to the second floor of the house.

Compared to the noise on the first floor, it was peaceful on the second floor. Chen Shan anxiously brought Qi Le An to the baby’s room. “Look! Fatty Girl!”

He looked silly as if he liked her very much.

Chen Shan’s younger sister was a month old and her body was completely free from wrinkles. She was white and tender. When Qi Le An looked at her, she was staring at him with her round eyes wide open, not afraid to see strangers at all.

Qi Le An looked at the child in the pink crib and felt moved.

‘She is so small and cute! I finally know why Chen Shan is obsessive with showing off his sister!’

She was probably an ungrateful person. When she saw Qi Le An approaching, she started to laugh foolishly. Chen Shan instantly became jealous and said, “She is laughing! She didn’t often smile at me before!”

The maid on the side couldn’t help laughing, “She smiles because she finds Mr. Qi handsome!”

Qi Le An felt Mr. Qi sounded strange and smiled awkwardly.

“Can I hug her?” He couldn’t help but ask Chen Shan.

“Of course.” Chen Shan looked proud as he carried the baby up and said, “This brat doesn’t fear strangers. Anyone can hug her. Just like you.”

Qi Le An felt speechless for being scolded for no reason.

Chen Shan hugged his sister and she suddenly chuckled. Chen Shan was happy too. He raised her with her face to face him, “Do you like me more, right?”

She giggled and peed at Chen Shan’s face.

Chen Shan was stunned. The nanny beside them immediately said, “Oh, our baby girl peed!’

Chen Shan looked numb.

Qi Le An finally burst into laughter, “Chen Shan, I think she likes me more!”

The nanny hurried to take the chubby girl from Chen Shan when Mrs. Chen pushed the door open. Seeing Chen Shan like this, she said, “Ah, what happened to you, Shan?”

Chen Shan’s father, who followed her, frowned and scolded, “The guests are all here. What happened? Why are you in a mess?”

Chen Shan finally could not help but roar, “It’s all your daughter’s fault!”

Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Shan with sympathy. “Did she pee at you? I told you not to raise her like that. It’s fine. You peed at your dad when you were little.”

Chen Shan’s father fell silent.

As Qi Le An looked at the harmonious family, he felt unusually warm.

At this moment, Mrs. Chen looked at Qi Le An and her eyes lit up. “This is Le An, right? I finally saw you.”

Mrs. Chen maintained her appearance very well. She was almost fifty years old, but she looked only thirty or forty. Her body looked a little swollen after pregnancy, but her overall temperament was unshakable.

“Hello, Mrs. Chen, nice to meet you,” Qi Le An smiled and said, “Thank you for your gifts.”

Mrs. Chen waved her hand and said surprisingly, “You look better than you’re on TV! I have asked Chen Shan to bring you home but he was so shy.”

Chen Shan said frantically, “When did I get shy?”

Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Shan and said, “Go wash your face and change your clothes.”

Chen Shan turned to leave without any expression.

Chen Shan was like a fire dragon while his father looked gentle. His whole family had the method to maintain their appearances. Chen Shan’s father looked like he was only in his fifties, and he maintained his body very well. He greeted Qi Le An, teased his daughter, and went out to receive guests.

Mrs. Chen and Qi Le An were left in the baby’s room. The nanny changed the diaper for the fat girl. Mrs. Chen smiled and handed the child to Qi Le An.

Qi Le An panicked, “No, I can’t do this.”

Mrs. Chen shoved her into his arms and teased, “It’s easy to hug a child. Hug her! She likes you.”

Qi Le An hugged the baby stiffly and looked down. The chubby girl was smiling at him.

At noon, the baby’s birthday party finally began. Qi Le An worked as a nanny for the time being and went downstairs holding the baby with Mrs. Chen. On the first floor, Mr. Chen and Chen Shan were greeting guests. Chen Shan wore a black suit and had hair glue on his head, looking young, high-spirited, and vigorous. For the first time, Qi Le An discovered that Chen Shan who returned to his own life was so dazzling.

But he was always angry with him for troubling him.

After three seconds of self-criticism, Qi Le An decided to treat Chen Shan better in the future.

The happiest among the people present was Chen Shan’s father. His son grew up tbe o a handsome man, and his youngest daughter was cute. One who faced something happy would be in high spirits. The smile on his face had never disappeared.

The baby couldn’t be in contact with outsiders for too long. Chen Shan’s father introduced the baby for a while and asked the babysitter to carry her back. Qi Le An, who finished his mission, also stood aside and prepared to eat.

Anyway, he didn’t know anyone present, so he didn’t have to pay attention to them.

Just as he was about to walk in the direction of food, he suddenly noticed a gaze of scrutiny.

Qi Le An, who was sensitive to eyesight, looked back immediately and saw a middle-aged man in his forties staring at him. The middle-aged man was a little fatty and had a round belly. Someone was whispering in his ear.

Seeing Qi Le An looking at him, the middle-aged man didn’t dodge his gaze.

Qi Le An knew that those who could attend the banquet were either rich or noble, so he smiled politely and looked away to do his own thing.

But after a while, a secretary beside the middle-aged man suddenly came over and said to him, “Hello, President Jiang wants to talk to you.”

‘President Jiang… Jiang?’

Qi Le An’s heart skipped a beat.

‘The CEO of the last company I worked for, Glory Entertainment, is surnamed, Jiang!’
