After dinner, Mrs. Ying took Ying Yanluo to see the flowers she planted.
"Chi Xi watered it, and there are still water droplets on it."
Ying Yanluo touched the tender petals and said, "They are growing really well."
Madam Ying talked to her about flowers and plants for a while, and then mentioned her wedding with Su Weichu.
"Yanluo, you and Weichu haven't had your wedding yet. What do you think?"
They had also discussed this matter when they were at the Shen family, so Ying Yanluo told her the truth.
Mrs. Ying was very happy after hearing this, "Summer is good. It's warm in summer and it's not cold to wear a wedding dress."
Ying Yanluo smiled and nodded at her.
After chatting in the greenhouse for a while, they went back together.
On the way back, I happened to run into Ying Tian coming towards me.
"Why are you here?" asked Mrs. Ying.
Ying Tiantian looked at Ying Yanluo and said, "I have something to say to Yanluo."
Old Madam Ying subconsciously looked at Ying Yanluo, and when she saw that she did not refuse, she left first.
"Yan Yan." Ying Tian looked at her, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
In fact, Ying Tian didn't know what to say. He thought she knew nothing, but in fact she knew everything. The only fig leaf was torn off, and she felt embarrassed, guilty and ashamed. She inherited all the advantages of him and Song Shu. When she was a child, she was beautiful, outstanding and lively. When she grew up, she was still beautiful and outstanding, but not lively anymore.
When problems arose, he thought it was just the child's belated rebellious period and thought it would be fine when he grew up a little. But somehow, as they grew older, the gap between them became wider and the conflicts became deeper, even to the point where they hated each other.
In the early years, they always parted on bad terms every time they met. Even so, he was not too anxious, because in his eyes, she was like a child with a bad temper. No matter how far she flew, she would eventually return home. But later, she had her own family and never looked back.
Ying Tian sighed, "Yanluo, are you really going to be like this with Dad in the future?"
Ying Yanluo looked at him, "Aren't we always like this?"
"That's different." Ying Tiantian was a little anxious.
“Nothing is different.”
"But I'm your father?" Ying Tian emphasized.
Ying Yanluo's voice was calm as if she was stating a fact, "But to me, it doesn't make much difference whether there is a father or not."
Ying Tian was stunned by her words.
“…Yan Yan.”
"To be honest, I'm really not used to you being like this. You're already twenty-six, not six, not sixteen. So no matter if you feel guilty or want to make amends, it doesn't make any sense to you right now. The best state for us is to not bother each other."
On this side, Ying Yanyu was pulled to a corner by Tao Lanzhi.
"Yanyu, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to take the initiative?"
Ying Yanyu frowned, "What initiative?"
"Look at Chi Xi, isn't he taking the initiative to get closer to Yan Luo? Why don't you learn from Chi Xi?"
Ying Yanyu disagreed, "Mom, Chi Xi is still her half brother after all, what does that matter?"
"Of course you are her sister too."
Ying Yanyu was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face that was a little sarcastic, "Sister? What kind of sister? She's just a stepsister. Besides, you never expected me to have a good relationship with her before. Now that she's married into a wealthy family, you want me to curry favor with her?"
Tao Lanzhi was obviously shocked by her daughter's words. "How can you say that? Isn't it for your own good? Who have you been humble all these years for?"
"Don't say you're doing this for something so great as me. You know exactly why you're doing this. Besides, whether she marries well or not has nothing to do with you. I can't get any of her attention, and I don't want to get involved with her. I have work to do in the afternoon, so I'll leave first." After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Tao Lanzhi was a little embarrassed, "Come back here! You're leaving before they leave? How will your grandparents see you?"
"It's their business how they see it. Besides, I've never seen it before."
Ying Yanyu walked away quickly, and just as she turned the corner, she saw Ying Chixi standing there.
She was stunned for a moment, "Why are you here?"
Ying Chixi said: "...I came here to ask mom something."
Ying Yanyu said "oh" and pointed back, "Then go, where is she?"
Ying Chixi looked at Ying Yanyu's back. He opened his mouth but didn't call her in the end.
…
After the New Year, Ying Yanluo's appetite was not very good. Her first thought was, could she be pregnant? After this idea came up, she originally planned to tell Su Weichu immediately, but after thinking about it, she decided to go to the hospital for a check-up. She didn't want to see the medical examination report to see if she was pregnant, so as not to be happy in vain.
As a result, she went there in a hurry but returned disappointed.
The doctor said that she just caught a cold during the change of seasons, which caused her to lose her appetite, and she was not pregnant at all.
After feeling disappointed, Ying Yanluo felt lucky that she didn't tell him in advance, otherwise he would be so happy in vain. She quickly adjusted herself. Of course, how could she be so lucky to win the first time? Besides, Shen's mother and aunt had already discussed holding a wedding for them. If the child really came at this time, it would actually be quite inconvenient.
At the beginning of March, Zhao Ranran called her and said that they wanted her to be the screenwriter for two scripts.
Ever since she switched her career to become a screenwriter, her studio has been receiving more work. Apart from the directors and producers she works with who will contact her directly, all other work basically has to be done through the studio, namely Zhao Ranran.
She suddenly felt that Zhao Ranran had really contributed too much to her studio and it was time to consider giving her a raise.
Ying Yanluo packed up simply and drove to the studio.
Zhao Ranran poured her a cup of warm water, then handed her two scripts, "Senior, take a look at the script."
Ying Yanluo took a look and found one was a campus-themed drama and the other a fantasy-themed drama, both of which she was good at. Moreover, the filming of the two scripts were scheduled to start very close to each other, one in mid-March and the other in mid-April. Ying Yanluo spent the entire afternoon reading the scripts in the studio, and it was not until nearly six in the afternoon that she made a decision and chose the campus-themed "Long Time".
Before going to bed at night, Ying Yanluo lay on Su Weichu and talked to him about the script.
"You just finished the Penglai project in January and joined the team again. Aren't you tired?" Su Weichu either stopped her from working or was worried that her body couldn't take it.
Ying Yanluo played with the plain ring on his finger. "It's not tiring actually. Besides, most of the scenes of this script were shot in Beijing, so I can go home every day. The period is not long, no more than four months."
Su Weichu rested his chin on the top of her head, "You want to do this project?"
"Actually, I really want to. I don't want to be idle."
"Okay, do it if you want to."
Ying Yanluo raised her head and kissed him on the lips, "You are so nice."
Su Weichu held her lower back and laughed, his eyes dark and deep. He pressed her head down with his other hand, kissed her lips and then impatiently went in. Ying Yanluo's entire upper body was pressed on him, and the two layers of thin pajamas did not provide any barrier.
When we were kissing, our breathing became disordered.
Su Weichu exerted a little force, and their positions were reversed. He fixed her head on the pillow and kissed her more deeply.
Every sob uttered by Ying Yanluo was swallowed by him.
The thin pajamas and nightgown were thrown off the bed.
The sound on the bed was particularly gentle.
…
The director of "Long Time" soon invited her to have dinner together and sign a contract.
The director’s surname is Yu, and she is a 45-year-old female director.
Director Yu ordered a bowl of fish soup. When it was served, Ying Yanluo covered her lower lip uncomfortably.
"What's wrong?" Director Yu asked in surprise, "Are you crazy?"
Ying Yanluo waved her hand and said, "No, I just caught a cold due to the change of seasons."
Director Yu nodded and felt a little relieved, but then thought, their theme is a light comedy, which is quite relaxing. Besides, compared with the actors, the screenwriter's job is not that hard, so even if she is really pregnant, it will not affect it.
"By the way, Director, who are the male and female protagonists of our play?"
"The male lead is Mr. Lu Zhi, and the female lead is Ms. Xue Jiajia."
Ying Yanluo was a little surprised, because she really didn't expect that the producers of "The Long Time" could actually invite Lu Zhi and Xue Jiajia, two young actors with good reputation and traffic, especially Lu Zhi, who was not inferior to Xie Zhun in traffic.
"You're surprised, right? Yes." Director Yu took a sip of juice.
The reason why Xue Jiajia came to act was purely because she owed their producer a favor, so the filming of this drama was just to repay a favor. As for Lu Zhi, they contacted him on their own and expressed their interest in the script. Of course, the producer was very happy, and she was also very happy, because that was Lu Zhi!
So the male and female protagonists of their drama were finalized.
Ying Yanluo had a very pleasant conversation with Director Yu and successfully signed the contract before the dinner ended.
The wedding was organized jointly by the Shen, Ying and Song families.
The wedding date is tentatively set for August.
Some time ago, Shen's mother went to see Old Madam Ying to discuss the wedding arrangements. Not only did they have a brief talk, she discussed the details with the Song family. After all, she was old, and there were too many details that they had not thought through as carefully. In addition, she was well aware of the Shen family's attitude towards the second branch, so she had no objection.
Just a few months before the wedding, Ying Yanluo took on a filming project. After Old Madam Ying found out, she couldn’t help but call her and said, “Yanluo, why don’t you stop following this crew? You’re going to have your wedding soon.”
Ying Yanluo: "...Grandma, it's only early March now, and the wedding is still more than four months away."
Madam Ying did not quite support her going out to work during this period, but Shen's mother and the others did not object. Anyway, the wedding dress was still being designed by a foreign designer, and they did not need to worry about the preparations for the wedding. If she did not work during this period, she would be idle anyway. If it was really like what Madam Ying said, then Wei Chu would not have to go to work in the company.
Mother Shen smiled and touched her hair. "Don't worry about the wedding. You and Weichu should go to work. I am with your aunt."
Ying Yanluo is very grateful for Shen's mother's support.
She said sincerely, "Thank you, Mom."
At first, Mrs. Ying was worried that the Shen family would have objections, but since they had no objection, she did not insist.
