Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 557 accompanying Lu Qingyi_1

How did Xu Boyan know? Lu Qingyi stared at Xu Boyan with wide eyes.

"Ah, so you know. The little one fails to give me a surprise. Disappointing, isn’t it?"

Xu Boyan smiled, reaching out to ruffle Lu Qingyi’s hair as he responded.

He thought she would tell him sooner, that she merely wanted to inform him herself.

"As long as you know."

Lu Qingyi let a small smile grace her lips, speaking slowly.

Fine, now that he knows.

"About the movie..."

Xu Boyan looked at Lu Qingyi, stopping halfway through his sentence.

Making a movie was fatiguing, and now that Lu Qingyi was pregnant, he wanted to either put the film on hold or let someone else direct it.

Before he knew about Lu Qingyi’s pregnancy, he could not help but feel heartache at how worn-out she seemed.

Now that he knew she was pregnant, he naturally didn’t want her to work anymore; it was indeed exhausting.

"I want to finish it."

Lu Qingyi put down her chopsticks, speaking calmly.

She didn’t believe in half-hearted endeavors, and just because she was pregnant didn’t mean she needed to rest all the time and couldn’t work.

"Sweetheart, what if I find someone else to direct it, hmm?"

Xu Boyan reached out to caress Lu Qingyi’s hair, his voice exceptionally tender.

How could he bear to see Qingyi so tired?

All along, his intention was to treat Qingyi like a pampered princess. But now that his little princess wanted to work, he couldn’t stop her. However, he didn’t like seeing her overworked.

Lu Qingyi rejected him: "No."

"Kid, why are you so obstinate?"

Xu Boyan let out a small sigh, his gaze full of helplessness as he looked at Lu Qingyi.

What could he do?

"I’ll accompany you."

If Qingyi was determined, then he would accompany her.

Xu Boyan looked into her eyes, filled with affection. He didn’t want to disappoint Qingyi; he loved her too much to bear it. But he also didn’t want her to overwork herself.

It was quite a conundrum.

Alright then. As long as Qingyi was happy, that was what mattered most.

---

The next day, Xu Boyan accompanied Lu Qingyi to the set. While she worked, he sat by her side, waiting and attending to her.

Occasionally, he would offer her food, pour water for her, feed her snacks, give her a shoulder massage...

His service was nothing less than considerate.

Everyone else was green with envy, expressing their admiration.

"Wow, they’re so sweet together!"

"I’m in love. This guy is so handsome and his eyes are incredibly gentle when he looks at Director Lu."

"God, they’re such a perfect match."

"Is this what a fairy tale love looks like?"

"I want a boyfriend like that. He’s superb."

"Director Lu definitely leads a very happy life."

"They really are the sweetest couple, so envious. I want a love like that."

"..."

Aside from envy, they had no other words left.

Lu Qingyi’s husband was way more handsome than Chi Xi.

"Am I not as handsome as he is?"

Chi Xi opened a beverage while looking at his manager, pointing in Xu Boyan’s direction.

Damn, once Xu Boyan showed up, everyone’s attention shifted to him, almost making Chi Xi feel insignificant.

It was truly frustrating.

He was the star, the one with the greater popularity, yet he still fell short as compared to Xu Boyan.

He really had a hard time over it.

"Indeed, his looks surpass yours by a long shot."

The manager spoke matter-of-factly, not worried about hurting Chi Xi’s feelings.

Chi Xi: "..."

He was aware of this fact but didn’t want to admit it.

Couldn’t his manager tell him a white lie just to make him feel better?

"Little one, are you tired?"

Xu Boyan asked.

He put aside all his work to accompany Lu Qingyi specifically.

"You... sigh, could you just go stand over there?"

Lu Qingyi took a deep breath, looking at Xu Boyan helplessly. To her, he seemed like a fool no matter how she looked at him.

Really...

She was at a loss for words.

"I just want to be with you, keep doing your work, don’t mind me."

Xu Boyan shook his head, speaking softly. His eyes full of Qingyi, all his tenderness reserved only for her.

"You’re distracting me."

Lu Qingyi helplessly responded, rolling her eyes at Xu Boyan.

Indeed, she was working fine until someone began to fuss over her constantly, fetching her water, feeding her, massaging her shoulders; it did seem to distract her.

"Then I’ll move farther away."

Xu Boyan obediently moved about a meter away from her.

Lu Qingyi: "..."

Farther away?

Yes, that’s quite far.

Lu Qingyi ignored Xu Boyan and resumed her work.

"Can you tell your man not to stay here? He’s in the way."

Chi Xi walked over to Lu Qingyi during a break in filming. He spoke slowly, his gaze occasionally landing on Xu Boyan.

Truly, this was an eyesore; all of Chi Xi’s limelight was stolen.

There were too many fans of good looks, and Xu Boyan was like a masterpiece standing there.

"You can go tell him yourself."

Lu Qingyi raised her eyebrows.

"Who are you calling a nuisance?"

There was a brief pause before Lu Qingyi spoke again.

She could describe Xu Boyan as a nuisance, but others couldn’t. It was just her double standard.

Chi Xi: "..."

Fine then.

He silently returned to his spot.

He stole a glance at Xu Boyan, let out a sigh in his heart.

As a man, he could see that Xu Boyan was an aloof person, only showing tenderness towards Lu Qingyi, all his warmth reserved for her.

Confront him?

Perhaps a single cold glance from Xu Boyan might have him terrified.

Alas, people really did have their biases.

Xu Boyan was always smiling, his eyes filled with gentleness as he watched Qingyi.

Everyone was envious. It was indeed rare to encounter a man like him.

Lu Qingyi must have been very happy. Not only was she competent, but she also had an incredibly handsome boyfriend. It was enough to make people green with envy.

"Little one, what do you want to eat?"

Fulfilling a day’s work, Xu Boyan wrapped his arm around Lu Qingyi’s shoulder and asked in a soft voice.

"I want to eat hotpot."

Lu Qingyi yawned widely, speaking slowly.

She suddenly craved hotpot, nostalgically yearning for its taste.

"Let’s choose something else. We won’t eat hotpot, okay?"

Xu Boyan reached out to ruffle Lu Qingyi’s hair, coaxing gently.

Hotpot might not be suitable for pregnant women, right?

Xu Boyan wondered, feeling rather tense as if he was the one pregnant, not Lu Qingyi.

"Pregnant women can’t eat it?"

Lu Qingyi looked at Xu Boyan, questioning.

Tsk, it’s just a pregnancy, why are there so many food restrictions.
