Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Is Nian Nian Unhappy?
Lu Beichen felt a bit of a failure, at this age, being easily charmed by a young woman’s words, just when he wanted to do something about it, his "troublesome" son inconveniently came home.
This kid was getting more sensible, Lu Beichen couldn’t bear to blame him for the unintentional "interruption."
As soon as the door opened, Little Bun walked in dejectedly and then silently changed his shoes with his head down.
Ji Niandong glanced at Lu Beichen in confusion, then asked, "Did Nian Nian have an unhappy day at school today?"
At the sound of her voice, Little Bun immediately looked up, quickly changed into slippers, and rushed towards her, "Sister Tongtong, you’re back?"
Ji Niandong smiled, "Did you miss Sister Tongtong?"
"Why are you asking that, Sister Tongtong?" He held her with a bit of shyness, then looked up and asked, "When did you come back, Sister Tongtong? Why didn’t you tell me?"
Still wearing his little backpack, he was reluctant to let her go, pointing to the small phone on his chest, suggesting she could notify him.
Ji Niandong covered her mouth and giggled, "I just got back not too long ago, it was meant to be a surprise for Nian Nian, are you happy?"
Just got back not too long ago? Lu Sinian slightly released her, holding his small phone. So, Xi Yao didn’t wait for him because Sister Tongtong returned?
Lu Sinian glanced at Lu Beichen, blaming him for being fickle, causing his current dilemma!
Seeing Little Bun’s face in a daze, Ji Niandong asked again, "Nian Nian, aren’t you happy?"
"Of course not, I’m definitely happy since Sister Tongtong hasn’t been home for so long and now you’re back." He pulled her hand and walked inside, eagerly asking, "Sister Tongtong, how many days will you be home this time?"
"I’ll be in New City permanently, but there will be activities to attend every day."
Due to Lin Ji Yang’s influence, the recent popularity of "Picking Up a Nine-tailed Fox" has steadily remained top-ranked, and since her previous black-and-white transformation, her popularity has soared, naturally increasing her activities.
Additionally, Sheng Mingyuan’s Studio has its routine assessments, with the Golden Dragon Film Festival approaching... it looks really busy!
Ji Niandong sighed silently, "At first, I wanted to be popular, now being popular feels so busy!"
She plopped down on the sofa, involuntarily sighing, Lu Beichen sat next to her, holding her hand and said, "So, is being popular a good thing or a bad thing?"
Using the same conversational tone as usual, seemingly genuinely wanting to know more about her, Ji Niandong leaned on his shoulder and said, "Both good and bad. It’s gratifying to be acknowledged for what I want to do. But when I join a production, I can’t see you and Nian Nian."
As soon as she finished speaking, Little Bun asked, "So Sister Tongtong still doesn’t have time?"
On Little Bun’s pink face, there was a faint look of disappointment. Ji Niandong remembered she always promised to play with him and held him in her arms, feeling very guilty, "Once this project wraps up and Sister Tongtong’s exams are over, I’ll take you to have fun, okay?"
"How long will that be?" Little Bun instinctively showed regret, quickly adding for fear of making Ji Niandong sad, "Sister Tong, it’s okay, you adults have to be busy with your things, I know that. Anyway, there’ll be plenty of chances in the future, I’ll go do my homework first, Dad, hurry up and make dinner, I’m hungry."
With a word of advice, he headed to his room with his backpack, Lu Beichen sighed slightly, "This kid is getting more and more adept at ordering me around."
