Chapter 719: Chapter 716
His question surprised Wen Xian a bit, as he clearly knew why it wasn’t acceptable.
She was pregnant and had not yet passed the safe period.
Otherwise, they were just torturing each other.
“Let’s sleep in a bit,” he insisted.
She instinctively pushed against his chest with both hands—he was very hot.
The next second, she saw Lu Xiao look deeply at her, then suddenly pulled the blanket over them, covering their heads, while he moved downwards.
Time flew by, and soon it was May, with the wedding scheduled for the end of the month.
Wen Xian almost didn’t need to worry about anything. In Lu Xiao’s mother’s words, she just needed to peacefully be the most beautiful bride-to-be.
Simply receiving the blessings of friends and family, God’s blessings—that was all Wen Xian wanted.
The dowry from the Lu Family was substantial.
Apart from that ancestral Blood Jade Bracelet and a house Lu Xiao bought for her, there were many other gifts, which had to be kept understated due to their status.
People always empathize.
Actually, how much dowry was given wasn’t important; what mattered was the attitude, the acceptance of her as a new family member.
Wen Xian was completely immersed in the anticipation and joy of the upcoming wedding, but at the same time, she found herself eating and sleeping more.
It troubled her greatly.
She feared she might gain weight and not fit into the traditional wedding dress custom-made by Lu Xiao’s mother.
However, while waiting for the wedding, there was another event Wen Xian looked forward to.
That was—the film she shot in Qinghai was about to be released.
Director Li Xun said that the film had been sent to an international film festival for competition, and they were waiting for the final news.
For Wen Xian, winning an award was not important; what was important was that she knew the film she had shot had profound significance, not only for herself but also for the creatures of Qinghai and the front-line workers there.
That was something that couldn’t be measured by anything.
A week before the release, Wen Xian and a group of celebrity friends, along with the official film crew, began to share the movie.
Wen Xian posted the movie poster and wrote a message:
[This is the place where he and I met, don’t ask any questions, just watch (dog head)]
It was strong and commanding.
A single message stirred a thousand waves, but Wen Xian didn’t intend to use her relationship with Lu Xiao to chase popularity nor did she doubt her influence as the National Goddess; rather, such a profound work needed to be seen by more people.
More people needed to understand how hard the front-line workers had it there, how they were risking their lives.
The wildlife there was suffering from severe poaching, and cultural heritage was being extensively damaged.
She hoped to make more people appreciate those front-line workers, to protect all creatures on this earth.
Releasing the film alongside big-budget, big-production action movies seemed like a futile effort, with no advantage in the box office.
Before the release, no one knew what the outcome would be.
The day the movie premiered, there was less than a week left until the wedding.
It was May in Beijing, with willow catkins fluttering and the weather had warmed up early.
On the day of the premiere, Wen Xian wore a flowered long dress and over it, a thin knitted sweater—
