Chapter 71: Two Different People (Part )
Yu Yuan thought clearly that no matter how busy he was at work, it was not as important as his wife and daughter. It was not a bad idea for him to put down his work for them, but if they were unwilling, he would not force them.
"Then I'll follow your arrangements. I don't have any future film contracts, so I can rest after filming this one."
Ruogu touched the round jade beads and said calmly, "Have you forgotten about the cooperation with the Science and Technology Trade Group? You need to pay more attention to this matter."
Yu Yuan is a smart man. He understands clearly what Ruogu means. There are countless people eyeing the cooperation projects of the Science and Technology Trade Group.
The reason their company was able to win was not because it was stronger than others, but because it had invisibly touched upon the interests of many people. There were many people who were waiting to laugh at them, and some were so angry that they might resort to shady tactics behind their backs.
It is not all good to win a cooperation project. In the future, you still have to rely on high-quality products to gain a foothold. The business world is like a battlefield and is no simpler than the entertainment industry. Yu Yuan has seen this.
His face was calm, his eyes revealed obvious confidence and determination. He said in a steady voice, "I know everything. We can only talk about the future if we can firmly grasp the opportunity given by the Science and Technology Trade Group. I will take care of all these matters, so don't worry about it."
In Yu Yuan's opinion, he should earn money to support the family, while his wife and children enjoy life at home. Ruogu's interest in practicing medicine is just her hobby, not for making a living. If he cannot support the family, then he is incompetent.
Ruogu said calmly, "I don't understand the company's affairs, and it's useless to worry about them. If you encounter any problems outside, you might as well come back and tell me. I can't help you with anything else, but I can still give you some advice."
When Yu Yuan heard her say this, he felt as if he had found support in his heart. With her by his side, he could move forward with peace of mind.
Huai Xi saw that her father's eyes were filled with emotion, and she felt that men were really simple-minded. A bystander can see things clearly. Her father had deep feelings for her mother, and probably wouldn't cause any trouble in the future.
Seeing the smile on his daughter's face, Yu Yuan said in a steady voice, "Huai Xi looks a little darker but stronger. It's not bad to look healthy and energetic like this. I'm thinking of making an official announcement after the new drama is finished. What do you two think?"
Ruogu frowned. She liked her current life very much and didn't want to attract too much attention. She subconsciously said, "There's no need to rush this matter. I'm afraid Huaixi's school life will be disturbed. What if the fans take extreme actions and hurt her?"
Yu Yuan said with a complicated expression: "Agu, this problem will be solved sooner or later. You can escape it for a while but not forever. If you are worried about affecting Huaixi's life, you can temporarily not publish her photo. What do you think?"
Ruogu sat up straight, her eyes flashing with hesitation. She opened her mouth and finally agreed.
"Then let's do as you say. I'll update less on the short video platform."
Yu Yuan's eyes and eyebrows were all smiling, and he said gently: "It's up to you, as long as you are happy."
Huai Xi didn't know who was trying to please whom between the two of them, so she just ordered them to leave.
"Mom and Dad, you guys should go back to your room and discuss the details. I have to do some math problems."
Huaixi can't sleep well if she doesn't solve a problem every day. She has become accustomed to this rhythm, so she speaks with confidence.
Yu Yuan and Ruogu looked at each other, and then they tactfully went back to the master bedroom. This night would be filled with much affection between the couple. Yu Yuan slept very soundly. He didn't even hear the sound of Ruogu getting up and leaving.
If he hadn't been woken up by the ringing of his cell phone, he would have still been able to sleep. Yu Yuan answered the phone with sleepy eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Who? What's the matter?"
Ji Tianyang lowered his voice on the other end of the phone and said, "Brother Yuan, where are you? I want to go to your house to avoid the limelight."
Yu Yuan was startled by his words and suddenly came to his senses. He immediately sat up and looked through the hot news on his phone. Ji Tianyang didn't respond and shouted, "Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, where have you been?"
None of the trending news was related to Ji Tianyang. He wondered, "Why are you avoiding the limelight? I haven't seen any news about your downfall."
Ji Tianyang said angrily: "Who said hiding from the limelight means the house will collapse? I had a conflict with Yuanyuan, and she went crazy looking for me all over the world. If I don't find a place to hide, I won't be able to live like this."
Yu Yuan rubbed his brows and said in a serious tone: "If you don't deal with emotional matters in time, what's the point of hiding?"
Ji Tianyang said helplessly: "I confronted her and told her clearly that I wanted to break up, but she not only didn't listen, she even dragged me to get a marriage certificate. How scary is that? What else can I do if I don't run away?"
Yu Yuan only knew a little about their relationship, and he couldn't explain it clearly over the phone. Rather than letting him run away and disappear, it would be better to let him come home. Yu Yuan said in a low voice: "Then come to my hometown in Wanling. I'll be here for the next two days." Ji Tianyang heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. He asked puzzledly: "Isn't your hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? When did it become Wanling?"
Yu Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a brisk voice: "My wife's hometown is in Wanling. She has now reopened the Chinese medicine clinic left by my father-in-law. My daughter is also studying here, so I will come here when I have free time."
Ji Tianyang was a little surprised. "I didn't prepare any gifts. It would be bad to meet my sister-in-law empty-handed, right?"
Yu Yuan didn't care much and said, "My wife doesn't need your gift. If you are embarrassed, then don't come over."
Hearing that Yu Yuan was about to hang up, Ji Tianyang hurriedly shouted, "Go, go, I'll be there right away. Send me the location and help me explain to my sister-in-law."
Yu Yuan hummed in a cold voice, hung up the phone, got up and changed his clothes. It was already past eight o'clock and everyone in the family was busy. Sister Yang left some hand-rolled noodles for him, and when she saw him coming down, she immediately boiled water and cooked them.
There was already a long line of patients in the clinic. Ruogu was taking the patient's pulse, and He Hui and Chi Zhengzheng were helping. Sister Yang stretched her neck and asked, "Sir, would you like some poached eggs?"
Yu Yuan shook his head. "No need to bother. Just add a boiled egg. Is the clinic always so busy?"
Sister Yang knew that he was worried about his wife, so she smiled and explained, "No, if she was so busy every day, she would be exhausted. These are all patients who have been waiting for several days, piled up together."
Yu Yuan nodded. Sister Yang worked quickly and the noodles were ready in a short while. After breakfast, he put on a mask and went to help Ruogu. Everyone was busy until after eleven o'clock before they stopped. Only then did Yu Yuan have time to tell Ruogu about the guests coming to their house.
Ruogu said helplessly after hearing this: "There are not enough rooms at home, so your friend will have to stay in a hotel."
Yu Yuan didn't care much. "It doesn't matter. I've already booked a room for him on my phone. He's not picky, so he can stay anywhere..."
Before he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. Ji Tianyang was very noisy on the other end. He said cheerfully, "Brother Yuan, I'm in Wanling. Please come to the high-speed rail station to pick me up."
Yu Yuan said in a gentle voice: "Wait, I'll be there in twenty minutes."
Before leaving, he greeted Sister Yang and told her the dinner time. When they returned from the station, the food would be served.
Although Ji Tianyang was relaxed in front of Yu Yuan, he was very reserved when he saw Ruogu. He thought Yu Yuan's wife would be pretty, but he didn't expect her to be so stunningly beautiful. Ji Tianyang praised her generously:
"Sister-in-law is truly a beauty that no one can match. None of the female stars in the entertainment industry can compare to you. No wonder Brother Yuan wanted to get married at such a young age. Excuse me, do you have a younger sister?"
Ruogu chuckled and shook her head, "I am an only child. My parents only gave birth to me."
Yu Yuan couldn't bear to see him trying to please Ruogu, so he took Ruogu's hand and said mercilessly, "Deal with your problem with Yuanyuan first, and don't spread your wings like a peacock."
Ji Tianyang's face was full of black lines, and he said unhappily: "Brother Yuan, why are you talking about something else? I broke up with her a long time ago, but she kept pestering me, and I was almost suffocated."
Ruogu was not aware of the emotional entanglement between them, so he gently patted Yu Yuan on the shoulder and said angrily, "How can you talk like that? Please invite the guests to the table for dinner."
Yu Yuan frowned and asked, "Why hasn't Xixi come back yet? Isn't she going home for lunch?"
Ruogu smiled and said, "She made an appointment with her classmates to eat spicy vermicelli at noon, so she won't be back. We don't need to worry about her."
Yu Yuan worriedly said, "I remember that the spicy vermicelli is very spicy. Those snack bars outside don't cook it cleanly. What if she gets diarrhea after eating it?"
Ruogu was helpless. "She doesn't eat it every day. What's the problem if she eats it once in a while? If she really has diarrhea, she can just take some gastrointestinal medicine."
Ji Tianyang watched the couple talking in silence, feeling inexplicably warm.
Yu Yuan was different from before. His eyes were unusually gentle. Ji Tianyang couldn't understand it. Could it be that he became a completely different person after entering into marriage?
