Qi Younian felt choked up for a moment, staring at Bo Yan in astonishment, "Honestly, with how sharp-tongued you are, how does Yuran put up with you?"
Bo Yan, "I never need my baby to put up with me, and I never treat her , do you think I treat everyone this way?"
Qi Younian, "Alright, pretend I didn’t say anything, but as a friend of your wife, can you please give me some face, okay?"
Bo Yan pulled over a chair and sat down beside the hospital bed, staring at Qi Younian’s calm face, and asked, "You and Meng Qiuyan finished the task, everything else just waits till the day the movie is released to settle accounts."
"Hmm, finished well?"
"Are you asking me to praise you?"
Qi Younian, dumbfounded: "...What on earth made you think I am asking for praise?"
Bo Yan raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t it obvious that you’re asking for compliments now?"
Qi Younian coughed, "Okay, then since there’s nothing for me and Qiuyan now, we’ll just go home and wait for the news, hoping that you guys won’t be bothered by all this mess after this time."
"Hmm, right, the script Huo Qi gave to Yuran, I took it, you take it on behalf of Yuran."
Qi Younian looked at him in astonishment, "Haven’t you retired?"
Bo Yan, "Who told you I’ve retired? Don’t talk nonsense."
Qi Younian, "From the time Yuran got pregnant until Zhizhi is this big now, haven’t you been in a semi-retired state? Going on business as if clocking in, once a month, if this isn’t called retiring, then what is?"
Bo Yan clicked his tongue, "Who told you I’ve retired? Is that retirement? That’s a vacation. Now I want to play the supporting role for Yuran, so I let you take over this drama. I’ve seen the script; it’s very innovative and very good, accurately targeted."
If Huo Qi is directing and editing, it might become a huge hit. She isn’t much concerned about awards right now, the awards she received previously she wasn’t interested in, but I think, those awards are still suitable for her to win again."
"You..." Qi Younian was somewhat astonished, "Have you talked to Yuran about this?"
Bo Yan shook his head, "No, I think this will be a surprise, and she’s also well-suited to take those awards again. Her acting is there, the resources are there, why not take them again?"
"That’s not wrong, all right, since you’ve seen it, I’ll take it on. Yuran also has the intention to take it herself, right? She discussed this matter with me before, and even invited Huo Qi to become one of us."
When Bo Yan saw he hadn’t finished speaking, he knew the matter hadn’t succeeded, "But, Huo Qi refused?"
Qi Younian nodded, "Although Huo Qi’s reason seemed normal, I always felt it wasn’t that simple, almost as if it’s because of Ao Chen that he’s not coming."
"What does it have to do with Ao Chen?"
Qi Younian, confused, looked at the questioning Bo Yan, "How would I know with the way you ask that question?"
"Then why do you assume it’s related to Ao Chen?"
"Just intuition. I, Qi Younian, have stood firm in this circle for so many years, don’t I have my own ways of handling things? Are you underestimating me?"
Bo Yan looked coldly at him for a moment, "I’ve never respected you."
Qi Younian: "...Bo Yan, the movie star, you really talk in a way that’s totally annoying. Do your fans know how sharp-tongued you are?"
"They might know, probably, I’ve never been polite in my statements, but it’s unimportant. I don’t rely on my fans to support me; although I also make more money because of them, even without them, I could still make a lot of money, it would just be a change of how I make money."
Zhizhi was playing with building blocks on the side, Yuran looked at Meng Qiuyan, somewhat apologetic, "Good thing you’re alright."
Meng Qiuyan smiled, grasping her hand, "Sis, could you please stop blaming yourself? Didn’t we agree before? This matter has nothing to do with you, it was my own decision, and you can’t manage that, can you?
Besides, I’m perfectly fine now, aren’t I?"
Yuran, "I know, just stop giving me excuses, I’m too embarrassed to say much more."
Meng Qiuyan looked at Yuran, thought for a moment, and said, "Sis, when Qi Younian and I were in the car earlier, we talked about marriage. I think at my age, it really is time to get married; being with Qi Younian would not be something I shy away from;
I used to think I would resist marriage, believing that kind of life wasn’t right for me, but now, I find that living every day with Qi Younian actually makes me look forward to it."
