Chapter 117 Hard-won
Xiao Jie smiled at Ruogu and said in a gentle voice:
"Mr. and Mrs. Qin Xuan's plane is late, so they will be here a little later. You must have had a hard time on the journey. How about you choose a room and rest first?"

Ruogu was still hesitating, Xia Lan stood up and said:
"That's great. My back and legs are aching and I want to rest in bed. Let's go and look at the room together."

Xia Lan pulled Ruogu forward, and the others followed closely behind. Although Zou Junkai was worried that Qin Xuan would come over and get angry, he didn't want to go against Xia Lan, so he had to follow.

Xiao Jie said as he walked away, "Once you have chosen your rooms and settled in, I will be leaving. Someone will clean the public areas, but you will have to clean your own rooms and buy the rest of your daily necessities yourself."

Wang Lele said in a low voice: "Will they assign us tasks?"

Xiao Jie shook his head and said slowly, "Our program is mainly to reveal to fans the true relationship between celebrity couples. We may also arrange some activities randomly, but they are not in the form of tasks, so don't worry too much."

As soon as Xiao Jie finished speaking, Zou Junkai quickly grabbed Wang Lele's hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Just take a good rest."

Wang Lele looked at him with disgust and didn't say much.

After going upstairs, they found that the layouts of several rooms were similar. Xia Lan took the lead and chose a room with a balcony on the west side of the third floor. She said to Ruogu enthusiastically, "You can live in the room on the east side. We, an old couple, will live on the third floor, and the second floor will be for the young people to live on."

Ruogu glanced at Yu Yuan, silently asking for his opinion. Yu Yuan looked around the room and chuckled, "Don't you like rooms with balconies? Then let's stay in this one."

Zou Junkai was more familiar with Qin Xuan, so he had no objection to him living on the second floor. After choosing the room, they went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.

Ruogu closed the door, looked at the camera and asked, "Does this thing have to film us 24 hours a day?"

Yu Yuan opened the suitcase and said gently, "How is that possible? If you don't want to be photographed, just unplug the power cord. There is no cloakroom or bathroom, so don't worry."

Ruogu did not feel uncomfortable being stared at. She said calmly, "That's good. No one will arrange meals. What are we going to eat for lunch?"

Yu Yuan took out the commonly used toiletries, and then said: "When everyone arrives, we'll see what they say. We can do it ourselves. Didn't you say that your cervical spine was uncomfortable before? Do you want me to massage you?"

Ruogu stood up and said, "Wait a moment, let's put our things in order first."

Both husband and wife had some obsessive-compulsive disorder. They would not feel at ease until their luggage was properly packed. Seeing Ruogu packing quickly, Yu Yuan let her do as she pleased. He took out the medical book from the suitcase and placed it at Ruogu's bedside, then went to boil some water.

Netizens who were watching the live broadcast were scrolling wildly...

"Yu Yuan and his wife seem to be getting along very calmly. I thought they would show off their affection in front of the camera."

"The people upstairs must be unmarried. They are an old couple who have been married for more than ten years. They get along like a family. This state is real."

"Did you notice the way Mr. Yu looked at his wife? Didn't you notice the restrained love?"

"The married life of celebrities is no different from that of ordinary people. It's boring..."

"It's just the beginning, how come the people upstairs already know it's boring..."

On the other side, Xia Lan was obviously much more relaxed after entering the room. She sat on the sofa, looked at Dong Rui and asked, "How do you feel after meeting the two groups of guests? Do you feel pressured to get along with them?" Dong Rui said with a smile, "No other pressure, I'm just afraid that you will offend people. My aunt, you should be careful with your words. If you offend someone, it will be very ugly."

Xia Lan blinked her big eyes and said innocently, "What's wrong with me? I didn't say anything excessive. You just made too much of a fuss."

Dong Rui sighed in a dignified manner. Considering the presence of the camera, some words were not suitable to be said. He could only say tactfully: "We will be with you for a long time. You should be more restrained in your tone. I know your character, but others may not. It would be bad if unnecessary misunderstandings are caused."

Although Xia Lan thought Dong Rui was making a fuss, she also knew his good intentions, so she reluctantly said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll watch my mouth from now on."

She made a zipper-pulling motion, and her eyes were lively and smart, which did not match her age. Dong Rui's eyes were full of doting. After Xia Lan smiled, her eyes dimmed and she said:
"I heard that Yu Yuan's wife is a very good doctor. I want to ask her to take my pulse later. Maybe Chinese medicine can cure my disease."

Dong Rui walked over to her and touched the top of her head, his eyes full of heartache as he said, "It's fine if you really can't get pregnant, but your physical condition is not good to begin with. If you damage your foundation for having a child, I won't even have time to cry."

Xia Lan said stubbornly, "That won't work. You are the only son in three generations, and your parents are so good to me. If I don't leave a descendant for the Dong family, I will never be at peace in my life."

Dong Rui knew that having a baby had become Xia Lan's obsession, and if he tried to stop her too much it would make her think too much.

"If you insist, we can go find Doctor Chen and give it a try. If it doesn't work, then don't bother. If you really like children, we can adopt one."

Xia Lan nodded slightly. Having a child is indeed not a must in life, but Dong Rui is worth her best efforts.

"I suddenly feel so sorry for Xia Lan. I heard she has tried every possible way to have a child. The older she gets, the harder it is to get pregnant, right?"

"Why is it so difficult for female celebrities to get pregnant? What have they been through?"

"The title of the Silver Needle Lady is not in vain. Maybe Doctor Chen can really cure Xia Lan's illness."

Netizens were discussing heatedly, but Xia Lan was immersed in her own emotions and was unaware of it.

On the other side, after Zou Junkai brought Wang Lele into the room, he unplugged the camera first, then turned around and asked, "Wang Lele, don't you understand that family disgrace should not be made public? Why are you slandering my mother in front of the camera?"

Wang Lele stopped pretending and said coldly, "I'm just telling the truth. I paid for the nanny myself, but your mother fired her. She said she was here to take care of Xiaobao, but she felt pain here and there after just a while. What else could she be if not deliberately mistreating me?"

Zou Junkai scratched his head irritably and said, "My mother's health is not good to begin with. It would be better if she could help take care of the children. You shouldn't blame her if she can't help. After all, she is my mother."

Wang Lele was so angry that her chest hurt. She said with tears in her eyes, "Zou Junkai, do you still remember what you said when you proposed to me? We have only been married for a few years, and you treat me like this. Do you have a conscience?"

Seeing that she was crying, Zou Junkai didn't want to continue to stimulate her, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, okay? Don't forget the purpose of our coming here. If we don't become popular again this time, our family will have trouble living.

Even if you have a problem with me, you have to be patient in front of the camera and cooperate with me. This opportunity is hard to come by."
