Chapter 519: Chapter 517: Pregnancy 4_1

"Ningxing, I’m sorry." He walked to a quiet corner and apologized to her.

Even though they were always careful, the baby had arrived, and ultimately, the reason could only lie with him.

"Why are you apologizing?" Xia Ningxing didn’t catch on for a moment.

Lu Tingli sighed, "Aren’t you about to start filming a new movie? It’s all action scenes. How can you do that while you’re pregnant?"

"This child could hinder the progress of your career."

As he said this, the joy of becoming a father for the first time faded somewhat.

More than a child, he wished she could do what she liked, pursue what she wanted.

"Lu, don’t blame yourself. Since the child has come, that means we’re meant to be together. It’s our fortune," Xia Ningxing’s soft voice reached his ears.

Even though the child came unexpectedly, Xia Ningxing never blamed the child or him.

As the saying goes, ’What’s come is already here, so just accept it.’

Xia Ningxing’s voice was gentle and virtuous, "If we can’t shoot the movie now, we’ll just do it next year. After all, I’m the boss and what I say goes. Besides, pregnancy isn’t something that lasts ten or eight years; it’s just one year, really, it’s nothing."

Right now, she wanted to focus on bringing the child in her belly into the world safely.

Lu Tingli took a deep breath.

That’s easy to say, but filming now and filming later are completely different things.

She is the red-hot winner of three major film awards, with unbelievable popularity. If she were to film now and release the movie at the end of the year, the box office would definitely explode.

But if she waits a year to have the baby, get through the postpartum period, then start filming and releasing the movie, the buzz would hardly compare to what it was before.

And if she ends up with body changes, worse skin, or stretch marks after giving birth, what then?

For an actor, having a child is essentially a huge gamble on their entire career.

But Lu Tingli also couldn’t bear to part with the child, and even if he could, Xia Ningxing definitely wouldn’t.

"Ningxing, I will treat you well in the future!"

He spoke deliberately and earnestly.

That was all he could do!

Listening to him, Xia Ningxing felt a warm current flowing through her heart. Her smile deepened as she nodded over the phone, "I believe you, husband."

Her last word made the man burst with joy in an instant.

"Wife, I’ll come back early tonight to be with you and the child," Lu Tingli’s eyebrows were framed with tenderness.

Xia Ningxing was beaming, "I’ll be waiting."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Ningxing remembered that Lu Fan still didn’t know about this. She pursed her lips, deciding to visit the company in person.

As her agent, it would be better to tell him about it face to face.

"Lu Fan."

Once at the company, Xia Ningxing went straight to his office and knocked on the door.

"Didn’t you say you were taking a rest day today? Why did you come to the office?" Lu Fan was dealing with paperwork. As soon as he saw her, he immediately stood up from his chair and extended his hand towards her in a welcoming gesture, "Please, have a seat."

As he spoke, he offered her his chair.

Although he was her agent, she was also his boss.

"No need, I won’t sit," Xia Ningxing was feeling incredibly guilty at the moment and couldn’t bring herself to sit down.

Lu Fan saw her reaction and suddenly had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. He frowned and couldn’t help but ask, "Is something wrong?"

"I..." Xia Ningxing opened her mouth but finally gave in and told him, "I’m pregnant."

"So you’re pregnant, it’s not mine. Why are you telling me... Shit! What did you say!" As he spoke, Lu Fan realized something was off, and curses involuntarily erupted from his polite facade.

He slammed the table violently, his eyes fiercely glaring at her as if wanting to gouge out her flesh, completely tearing away the polite exterior, "Xia Ningxing, say that again to me, what the hell is going on!"

Xia Ningxing shrank her neck and repeated in a super soft voice, "I’m pregnant... with your little brother’s child."

Very good.

Lu Fan’s reaction was even more intense than she had imagined.

Someone who was about to be placed on high, seeing themselves rising with the tide as well.

Who would have thought...

The boat capsized!

Who wouldn’t be angry!

She would be angry too.

Lu Fan slammed the table again, so angry his glasses fell to the ground, "What did I tell you, not to get pregnant, not until you’ve won international awards, until you’ve got an Oscar, then you can fuss about having kids. Didn’t you promise me you absolutely wouldn’t get pregnant?"

Xia Ningxing replied timidly, "But the child was conceived before you reminded me!"

On her way here, she had thought carefully and realized the child might have been conceived the first time. Although she had taken the medicine she made herself, it was made a long time ago and had probably expired by now...

"So you’re blaming me for reminding you too late?" Lu Fan laughed out of anger.

"I didn’t mean that." Xia Ningxing’s neck shrank even more.

"Xia Ningxing, you’re really going to infuriate me to death!" At that moment, Lu Fan’s entire face was as black as ink, as if it could drip with ink at any time.

"I can’t be bothered with you anymore, do whatever you want!"

He spoke as if he was ready to give up on her.

Xia Ningxing touched her nose, too guilty to speak.

"Sigh..." Finally, Lu Fan’s attitude softened for some reason, and after a long sigh, he asked gently, "How’s the baby?"

At the mention of this, Xia Ningxing’s beautiful face showed a tender smile, and she subconsciously looked at her belly, "The baby is fine."

"Then take good care of yourself. We can talk about the movie after the baby is born safely. After all, you are only twenty years old now, and at most, you will be twenty-one or twenty-two after the baby is born and you’ve recovered. You are still considered very young in the industry," Lu Fan said, as if he was a different person.

"You’re not angry anymore? You’ve come to terms with it?" Xia Ningxing looked at him tentatively.

Lu Fan looked helpless, "Even if I don’t come to terms with it, I must. Otherwise, I can’t force you to abort the baby, right? Old man and Lu Tingli would directly take a knife to me!"

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but laugh.

She added, "I would also take a knife to you!"

Lu Fan rolled his eyes without amusement.

"What are you two arguing about?" Tao Tao, with her big belly, knocked and walked in, frowning and looking worried at the two.

Originally, she was not on this floor, but Lin Sisi and the others ran down to call her over, saying that Lu Fan and Boss Xia were having a fierce argument in the office, almost coming to blows.

So she hurried over in a panic.

"If you have something to say, say it nicely, please don’t get physical!" Tao Tao looked at the two anxiously.

On one side was Xia Ningxing, who was like a sister to her, and on the other, her beloved husband. If they really started fighting, she wouldn’t know whose side to take.
