Didn’t Lu Beichen already notice it a long time ago?
No way, I can’t do this. They clearly still care about her, everything is still the same, so why am I being all sentimental?!
I can’t keep overthinking it. Even if I do, they can’t find out. Ji Niandong, you’re an actor, you can do this!
She quickly regained her usual smile, "Sister Tongtong is always smiling. Celebrating Nian Nian’s birthday today, Sister Tongtong is really happy too."
"Then when is Sister Tongtong’s birthday?" Little Bun asked, blinking his eyes.
Ji Niandong pursed her lips, "I don’t know, the date on the ID card is wrong."
"How can someone not know their own birthday? Sister Tongtong, where is your mom? Doesn’t she know?" Lu Sinian grew more curious.
Ji Niandong’s expression froze for a moment, then she quickly returned to normal, "Sister Tongtong’s mom is no longer here. She never mentioned it, so no one knows Sister Tongtong’s real birthday. Actually, it’s not much different from the date on the ID, but the exact day is unknown."
"Oh!" Lu Sinian frowned, "Sister Tongtong, don’t be sad. We’ll just go by the date on your ID, and I’ll give you a gift when your birthday comes."
"Alright! But we’ll have to wait until next spring! March is when spring is in full bloom." It’s supposed to be a beautiful season, but it’s become so unkind.
Ji Niandong always carried a touch of melancholy in her heart. Little Bun regretfully said, "Then we have to wait until after Dad’s birthday."
"Yes, indeed!" Ji Niandong nodded. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
"But when Dad’s birthday is over, it’ll be New Year, and then it’ll soon be Sister Tongtong’s birthday, right?"
"Right, Nian Nian, you’re so smart!" Ji Niandong smiled sincerely.
Lu Sinian was also flattered by her compliment, and he snuggled into her arms, asking, "Sister Tongtong, you promised to take me out. When are we going?"
This was the third time Little Bun had asked her. She should have taken him out when her work was paused, but she got busy quickly again and didn’t know when she’d have free time.
Ji Niandong felt very guilty, "I’m sorry, Nian Nian. Sister Tongtong might have to start filming again soon. I promise, as soon as I have time off and you’re not in school, I’ll take you out right away!"
"Okay! Sister Tongtong, you take care of your things first. I’m not in such a hurry." He was so well-behaved and understanding. Ji Niandong couldn’t help but hug him a little tighter, feeling warmth spread through her heart.
The rumors about "Lin Ji Yang" were already rampant. Everyone was waiting for an official response, and the official announcement said that "Lin Ji Yang" would hold a press conference that afternoon to announce his withdrawal from the entertainment industry.
"Oh my God! Is it true that Lin Ji Yang is directly leaving the entertainment industry?!"
"Ha, is he tacitly admitting to the rumors? I used to think Lin Ji Yang was quite tough, but now he’s leaving the industry over some issue?!"
"His personality isn’t really suited for the entertainment industry, but it’s such a pity that he’s leaving. I still really like him."
"Damn, it’s you keyboard warriors who pushed him to this, sleeping with fans, screw you, why hasn’t anyone dug up that woman’s dirt, I want to get rid of her!"
Netizens went from initial insults to not wanting him to leave, and eventually, fans launched a campaign begging Lin Ji Yang not to quit the entertainment industry.
Those who were cursing initially also gradually turned neutral and started to persuade him to stay.
The public opinion shifted, and the attitude of the onlookers changed too.
However, the press conference still took place that afternoon as scheduled!
