Chapter 708: Chapter 706 Are You Pregnant_1

"Are you pregnant?"

"Can you talk to us about it?"

This was Xia Ningxing, who had been keeping a low profile ever since she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Today, journalists had finally caught a major scoop, and they could not be more excited, eager to question her about everything down to her ancestors.

"These people are just like clingy candy!" Lu Tingli frowned and glanced at Xia Ningxing, "Keep calm, I’ll have someone send them away immediately."

"It’s not necessary to go to such lengths."

After speaking to him, Xia Ningxing rolled down the car window, waved her hand generously at the journalists, and said with a smile, "Dear friends, make sure to edit the photos before you use them! Much appreciated!"

"And to the one climbing the tree to sneak photos, please come down and take pictures openly—it’s safer. I don’t want to hit the headlines tomorrow because of you." Ningxing’s sharp eyes caught a brave soul hiding in a tree.

The tree branch looked so fragile and dangerous, and yet there he was, risking his life just to get the news by climbing up.

The person climbed down somewhat embarrassedly.

Other media hurried over, shoving microphones in front of her face, "Xia Ningxing, are you admitting that you’re pregnant?"

"Yes, that’s right," Xia Ningxing nodded, acknowledging it directly.

"Wow!" Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim, clearly surprised that she would admit it so readily.

"How many months along are you?"

"One and a half months," Xia Ningxing revealed, then added, "Now you all know what you wanted to. Can I leave now?"

The reporters immediately stepped aside without waiting for her to finish speaking.

They had to rush home to write their articles, aiming to publish them as soon as possible!

They certainly didn’t have time to keep her any longer.

[Xia Ningxing is pregnant!]

The news exploded on the internet.

Fans danced with joy, flooding into Xia Ningxing’s forum and Giant Star Entertainment’s forum—

"Little Giant! Little Giant! Did you know your boss is pregnant?"

"Little Giant! You’re about to have an heir!"

"Aaaah! Baby Xing is having a second child!"

"Career, love, and kids—a double blessing!"

"Our Baby Xing is truly a winner in life!"

"Whimpering, as a fan mother, I’m finally going to be a grandmother again! So happy!"

"Me too!"

"And me!"

"We’re all ecstatic!"

"But Baby Xing is getting pregnant and having a baby at the peak of her career. Her popularity will decline when she makes her comeback!"

"Yeah, it’s sad, but you can’t just not have kids."

"I have a feeling Baby Xing won’t make a comeback this time."

"Ah? Don’t scare me like that, person above!"

"My heart is about to stop!"

"Haven’t you all noticed that Baby Xing isn’t that invested in this circle anymore? When others win big awards, they advertise like crazy and push out paid articles. What does she do? She just made a post. And have you seen Baby Xing take on any new movies recently?"

"Not just no new movies, no ads, no endorsements, no fashion shows, nothing at all!"

"Could it be that our Baby Xing is being suppressed?"

"Haha, someone upstairs must have their brain squeezed by a door, she is the boss of Giant Star and the largest shareholder. Who dares to suppress her?"

"Maybe it’s from other companies?"

"I beg you to properly check out the identity of the Lu Family, okay? Who dares to suppress Xia Ningxing must be tired of staying at Star Shine!"

"Exactly!"

"Sigh, let me tell you guys secretly, actually Baby Xing had a bunch of opportunities waiting for her, but she turned them all down or recommended actors from her own company."

"Haven’t you seen that Giant Star released the schedules for all contracted artists for the second half of the year, but the only one missing is their boss Baby Xing?"

"So, all these signs are indicating that Baby Xing is leaving!"

"Don’t scare me, guys. Do you even know I’ve cried my eyes out?"

"I’ve flooded my house with tears!"

"That’s enough, can you guys stop guessing wildly? Baby Xing is still so young, she won’t retire, she definitely won’t!"

"Maybe Baby Xing just wants to take a break for a while!"

Fans tried to comfort themselves with all sorts of reasons, but many knew in their hearts, who would choose to rest at the peak of their career?

However, until the last moment, everyone was reluctant to believe such a cruel reality.

In just a few hours, [Xia Ningxing Pregnant] and [Xia Ningxing Retiring] became the top trending searches, sparking heated discussions across the internet.

"Is she really retiring?"

At Giant Star Company, Lu Fan asked Xia Ningxing with a complex look in his eyes.

"Yes, but also no," Xia Ningxing swirled the hot water in her highball glass, took a sip, and looked up at the dimly lit Capital City, "I will still work in this circle in the future, just as a real boss instead of an actor. Lu Fan, you can focus on being an agent now."

"Then I really appreciate you lightening my load," Lu Fan said with a forced smile as they clinked glasses.

Xia Ningxing also clinked glasses with him.

After downing their drinks, Lu Fan shrugged, "Speaking of which, I’m drinking alcohol, and you’re drinking hot water. This toast isn’t really fun."

"Well, I’m pregnant," Xia Ningxing declared with righteous indignation, putting down her glass.

"Alright, alright, the pregnant woman is the most important," Lu Fan said with a laugh. Then he took a deep breath, his voice laden with heaviness, "Then I’ll have the company issue a statement."

The day had finally arrived!

Even if they were mentally prepared, it was hard to accept.

But Xia Ningxing shook her head and set down her glass, "No need, I’ll do it myself. It’s better for me to say this kind of thing personally, isn’t it?"

That way, the fans might find it easier to accept.

"Indeed, you do it yourself then," Lu Fan sighed, tilted back his head, and downed another glass of alcohol. He looked utterly deflated, desolate, and emotional.

Xia Ningxing was rather helpless, "Can you not look like that?"

If someone didn’t know better, they would think they were parting forever!

Lu Fan met her gaze, opened and closed his lips several times before managing to squeeze out a few words, "I’m kind of reluctant to let you go. You know what I mean, right? You are the best artist I’ve ever managed!"

"We’ve worked together for so many years, I’ve watched you climb to the top step by step, but now you’re leaving, and I’m not used to it. It feels like a father watching his daughter get married!"

By the end, his eyes were beginning to moisten.

Damn it, being too emotional is not good!

"Lu Fan, stop taking advantage of me. Who is your daughter!" Xia Ningxing was quite moved at first, but that last remark really annoyed her.

Lu Fan shrugged, "I’m just making an analogy."

"Pffft!" Xia Ningxing snorted at him, then felt sentimental too, "Actually, I’m also quite reluctant to leave you. You are the best and most professional agent I’ve ever seen."

But she quickly cheered up, "Even though I won’t be your artist anymore, I’m still your boss, your younger sister, and we’ll always be family."
