Chapter 519: Chapter 519
Two people together need to give each other respect.
Shen Dang knew she had always valued her career greatly. Apart from her career, there was only him, so she would naturally strive hard for her career.
He also liked her when she shone so brightly. When she acted, she seemed to possess a soul, and he would respect all her choices.
Deep down, Shen Dang felt she wouldn’t give up this opportunity.
The main actors in Director Tang’s films, whether male or female, were all seasoned veterans, always of the movie king or queen caliber.
They were from a different era than Qiao Xi.
They represented an era.
Whereas Qiao Xi had not yet become an era.
If she were to star in Director Tang’s movie, then it would mean she was already stepping into film festivals with major awards.
Qiao Xi might still be struggling with the decision, when Shen Dang, in what could be described as a gentle gesture, stroked her head, "If the script is good, then take it. Don’t hesitate. Of course, there is no bad script from Director Tang."
With those words, he made his thoughts clear.
Shen Dang’s voice was always very appealing, and Qiao Xi found it very pleasant to hear.
Initially, she was almost bewitched by his voice.
Qiao Xi also understood his meaning and gave him a faint smile, "Then take me to GK."
Shen Dang led her out.
Qiao Xi was silent for a long while after seeing the script in Wang Li’s office.
Wang Li was drinking tea, quietly watching her.
Actually feeling somewhat inexplicably nervous.
She didn’t know what this nervousness was about.
Qiao Xi put down the script and looked at Wang Li, her eyes clear and firm, "Sister Li, please recommend Nan Zhi to Director Tang."
She already had an answer in her mind.
Sure enough, her bad premonition came true, and Wang Li was stunned for a moment, "You’re not planning to take the role?"
She was somewhat incredulous.
"Why, Xixi?" Wang Li didn’t understand, "This is such a good opportunity!"
Her voice even became anxious.
That was Director Tang, a big name!
So many people in the industry wanted to work with Director Tang but never got the chance!
People Tang intended to promote were referred to as Tang Girls. Was she really going to give up such a great opportunity?
It was indeed a good opportunity, but it wasn’t what Qiao Xi wanted.
Qiao Xi’s eyes showed the calmness of someone who had seen it all, "I think Nan Zhi is quite suitable for the female lead."
Wang Li was somewhat at a loss with her, "We’re not talking about Nan Zhi now; we’re talking about you, boss."
Wang Li sighed. She still didn’t want Qiao Xi to pass up this acting opportunity, "Why don’t you think it over again?"
Qiao Xi smiled lightly and said, "Actually, I was hesitant when you called me. I told Shen Dang to bring me to GK. He didn’t hesitate, but on the way to GK, I already had my answer."
Shen Dang was sitting in his office, his long fingers fidgeting with a pen.
His movements were a bit distracted.
There was only him in the office, all quiet around, and even the sunlight coming in from the window seemed a bit dim.
Shen Dang was slightly bowing his head, his hair covering his eyebrows, his emotions concealed, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.
Perhaps he wasn’t thinking about anything at the moment.
It wasn’t until there was a noise at the door that Shen Dang lifted his dark pupils.
When he saw the person walking in, a glimmer of light seemed to crack in his eyes.
"Are you done talking?"
A lazy smile appeared on his handsome face.
Shen Dang stood up and walked towards her, "How come it was so quick?"
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh at his profound and calm demeanor. Google seaʀᴄh NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt
He probably really wanted to hear her answer now.
"What can I say?" Qiao Xi casually raised an eyebrow, "There wasn’t much to talk about, so of course it was quick."
Shen Dang had already taken her hand, his tone casual, "Then shall we go home?"
Qiao Xi held onto him with both hands, her voice lighthearted, "Before going home, take me somewhere else."
Shen Dang immediately became anxious.
He scrutinized Qiao Xi from head to toe, his voice that was originally calm now filled with urgency, "What’s wrong? Why are you going to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
He was really too anxious.
Qiao Xi laughed, her tone serious, "I’m not unwell anywhere; I just need to do a health check."
Shen Dang frowned, as if he didn’t understand her.
"If you’re not unwell, then why do you need a checkup?"
Seeing him so tense, Qiao Xi finally said, "Of course, a health check is necessary before preparing for pregnancy. Not just me, you need to do it as well."
Their timing for preparing for pregnancy was just right.
It was also nearly time for their wedding.
Shen Dang’s pupils seemed to quiver, a faint glimmer appearing in the depths of his eyes, "Preparing for pregnancy?"
Qiao Xi asked him pointedly.
Of course, he wanted to!
Shen Dang immediately picked up Qiao Xi and spun her around a few times in his excitement.
Look how thrilled he was.
her hand patting his back, "Quick, put me down!"
Shen Dang set her down, his hands cradling her face as he looked at her intently, "Xixi, aren’t you going to act?"
She wasn’t going to take Director Tang’s script?
Shen Dang had even prepared to send Qiao Xi off to the film set on the way there and was ready to postpone the wedding.
"The movie from Director Tang is a mystery thriller. I’ve acted in a few mystery thrillers before. I think too much overlap in style isn’t good, so I asked Sister Li to recommend Nan Zhi to Director Tang instead."
After all, why let the benefits flow to others?
It was also good for Nan Zhi to have a chance to audition.
What if she was exactly what Director Tang was looking for?
Qiao Xi tilted her head and smiled mischievously, "If you think this isn’t good, I can still take the role. Sister Li probably hasn’t mentioned this to Director Tang yet; there’s still time."
She even knew how to play tricks.
Shen Dang pinched her face, his movement neither too gentle nor too harsh, "Is it really just for that reason that you’re not taking the role?"
Qiao Xi lowered her gaze, "Are we still going to have our wedding?"
Shen Dang’s Adam’s apple bobbed, "We can postpone it."
He spoke without any hesitation.
Boss Shen, you could call him a dog, but he was always genuinely considering things from her perspective.
Qiao Xi wrapped her arms around his waist, her eyes curving with a smile, "Mom has already calculated the dates; let’s not postpone. The wedding will go on as planned."
The two of them arrived at the hospital.
Going to other hospitals would require queuing and would be inconvenient, so Shen Dang took her to the hospital affiliated with Shen Group.
Completing all the health checks took most of the day.
When they returned to the doctor’s office, knowing that they were preparing for pregnancy, the doctor asked some routine questions.
Qiao Xi calmly answered the first few questions.
Finally, the doctor asked, "You both are young, and it’s a suitable age for having children. What’s your frequency of intercourse like?"
Is this how doctors usually ask when you’re preparing for pregnancy?
