Chapter 529: Chapter 527 Don’t worry about me_1
Second Grandpa had thought he’d already tasted all the finest teas in the world, but he never imagined that only after trying this one would he feel that everything he’d had before was trash!
Ah ah ah!
It’s so delicious!
While Second Grandpa was fervently drinking tea, Sir Lu had moved on to the stage of giving extravagant praise:
"Let me tell you, my Ningxing is the world’s best daughter-in-law. She is graceful in the hall and skillful in the kitchen, acts wonderfully, sings beautifully, and plays the zither elegantly; her tea-making skills are even more superb. Having such a daughter-in-law is better than countless sons and grandsons..."
Pat pat pat.
What was supposed to be a clarification of a scandal turned into a grand display of Sir Lu’s extravagant flattery.
Xia Ningxing: "..."
Tao Tao: "..."
The host: "..."
The audience:
"Hahaha, Sir Lu: Let me quietly tell you that I’m a fan of my granddaughter-in-law!"
"Turns out Sir Lu is also Baby Xing’s die-hard fan!"
"Oh my god, having a Grandpa fan must be so great!"
"Baby Xing is the Lu Family’s pampered darling!"
"Baby Xing is truly fortunate!"
"Sir Lu, may I interrupt you for a moment?" Seeing that Sir Lu kept going on, the host couldn’t help but interrupt helplessly.
He still had other questions to ask.
"Haven’t you already interrupted me?" Sir Lu was obviously displeased.
Enduring the fierce gaze of the other party, the host raised the microphone towards Xia Ningxing: "Miss Xia, there are rumors that you are pregnant, may I ask if this news is true or false?"
Xia Ningxing pursed her lips.
The camera immediately swung over to give her face a close-up.
The audience in front of the TV also instinctively held their breath and waited for her reply with rapid heartbeats.
"I..." Finally, Xia Ningxing lifted her eyes and began to speak.
The audience immediately perked up their ears, eyes fixed on her unblinkingly, afraid of missing a single word.
Xia Ningxing’s smile grew wider, and she nodded without any hesitation to confirm, "Yes, I’m pregnant."
"Wow! Congratulations, Miss Xia!" The host hadn’t expected Xia Ningxing to really be pregnant and to admit it so straightforwardly, and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise with a flowery speech of congratulations.
"However, it is not a shotgun wedding as everyone says. This baby is just one month old, conceived after we got our marriage certificate," Xia Ningxing added.
"Exactly, that’s the case!" Sir Lu also nodded along.
When Xia Ningxing said this, people didn’t really believe it at first, but when the iron-blooded Sir Lu said the same, they had to believe it.
Because they knew, this general who had spent his life in the military would absolutely not lie.
The host continued, "So that means the action movie Miss Xia was scheduled to start filming can only be postponed for now."
"Yes, I’m really sorry," Xia Ningxing’s face showed a hint of apology, and she then looked down at her stomach with resignation: "This child came as a surprise."
"Although it’s a bit regrettable, I believe Miss Xia’s fans and moviegoers will understand, because the safe birth of a new life is the most important," the host said with a smile, smoothing things over.
Then, he turned the microphone back to Sir Lu: "Sir Lu, do you prefer a great-grandson or a great-granddaughter?"
This question seemed casual, but it contained a trap.
If Sir Lu said he preferred a boy, he would no doubt be criticized by netizens for favoring sons over daughters. Was there a throne in the house that needed to be inherited? If he said he liked girls, he would probably be accused of wanting a status symbol.
Although Sir Lu was a military man, it didn’t mean his mind wasn’t sharp. He looked at Xia Ningxing’s stomach with a kind smile and said, "As long as it’s a child born to my granddaughter-in-law, whether it’s a boy or a girl, I will like it, and the Lu Family will like it too."
A perfect answer!
Then, Sir Lu continued to sing Xia Ningxing’s praises and express his love for the unborn child.
The host couldn’t get a word in edgewise throughout the whole process.
Host: "..."
This was the first time they felt like an unnecessary decoration.
One hour later, seeing that Sir Lu finally paused, the host breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "OK, that’s it for this interview, thank you, Sir Lu and Miss Xia, for participating."
Sir Lu put down his teacup, frowned slightly, and glared at the host in dissatisfaction, "I was just taking a sip to wet my throat, I wasn’t finished! Why are you calling a halt?"
He still had half a bellyful of praise for Xia Ningxing that he hadn’t managed to say yet!
"This..." The host instantly felt awkward, having thought he had finished speaking.
Xia Ningxing patted Sir Lu on the shoulder and gave a helpless smile, "Grandfather, interviews are time-limited, and our goal was to clarify the rumors, wasn’t it? Now that we’ve done that, there’s no need to continue recording."
"Well, alright then." Sir Lu nodded, but the look on his face was clearly one of reluctance to finish.
Meanwhile, the audience watching the live broadcast—
"Hahaha! Why interrupt me when I wasn’t done yet, a bunch of brats!"
"Wait! I wasn’t finished with my praise yet!"
"Don’t stop, I can keep going!"
"..."
At the same time, at Giant Star Company.
Lu Fan and others were preparing to handle the PR for this incident.
As a result...
The PR department all stared at the live broadcast of Sir Lu and then choked in unison, "Seems like we don’t need to step in."
Listening to Sir Lu wax eloquent in his praise, Lu Fan’s forehead gained several black lines, "...Dismissed!"
This old man could really talk up a storm!
He could probably outdo a blower!
At the old residence.
After the interview had ended, the second elder was pestering Xia Ningxing to brew tea for him.
That’s right, he had become smitten with Xia Ningxing’s tea.
It was so, so, so good, how could he not fall for it!
At that moment, the second elder was excitedly saying, "My dear niece-in-law, the tea you make is too delicious, hurry, hurry, make some more for me!"
"Make some for your head, Xingxing is a pregnant woman, isn’t it tiring for her to keep making tea!" Before Xia Ningxing could respond, Sir Lu glared at the second elder and scolded, "Ungrateful!"
Poor second elder being scolded like a grandson, who was eagerly drinking tea just moments ago, but as soon as he heard Sir Lu say not to let Xingxing make it, he immediately switched to taking small sips, looking as though he couldn’t bear to drink it.
With each sip there’s less left, naturally, he had to conserve what he could.
Sir Lu turned to look at Xia Ningxing, "Xingxing, ignore him. Are you tired? If you’re tired, go rest."
When facing Xia Ningxing, Sir Lu’s expression instantly softened, oozing tenderness.
"Grandpa, I’m fine, don’t worry about me." Xia Ningxing smiled at Sir Lu to reassure him, then raised her eyes to the second elder.
"Second Granduncle, do you like this tea?" she asked.
"Like it! Of course, I like it!"
The second elder immediately nodded fervently, his eyes shining brightly.
