Chapter 709 Peaceful Coexistence
"Come in." Duan Xiaochen's tone was neither salty nor weak.
Xu Qingya couldn't help pursing her lips when she thought of the video that was filmed with a mobile phone and posted online on the day of the premiere.
At that time, the screening of "Wulin" had just ended, and the applause had not completely stopped. Half of the audience had already been led out of the theater, and those who remained were industry insiders and media reporters.
Du Caige was full of ambition, smiling, ready to be interviewed in high spirits.
Then a media reporter at the scene asked him maliciously about a few questions about Yu Qing's live broadcast, which involved Xu Qingya's pregnancy.
Du Caige was stupid on the spot.
But Duan Xiaochen immediately turned his back, punched Du Caige hysterically, and scratched Du Caige's face a few times while crying.
When she saw this video just now, Xu Qingya was still quite uncomfortable, because it was her choice that brought such pain to another woman.
But now that she had digested the news, she began to find it quite interesting-who would have thought that Duan Tianhou, who had a dignified front, was gentle and sweet, would start to surge like a tigress.
Seeing that Xu Qingya was pregnant and unable to move, two female service staff immediately came to help her.
Help her change her shoes and lead her to change into a loose bathrobe.
This is a well-known high-end women's club in Shanghai. It mainly provides SPA, beauty, nail and hairdressing, bathing and other services to wealthy ladies.
The price of any manicure package here starts at 998, which is really not affordable for ordinary people.
Both Yan Yingzhen and Xu Qingya are pregnant, so they dare not do massage, SPA, fumigation and other items.
You can only soak in a hot bath, but not for a long time.
Duan Xiaochen naturally wouldn't leave the group and take a bath with them.
During the bath, Duan Xiaochen remained silent, but Xu Qingya and Yan Yingzhen talked and laughed.
We exchanged stories about the hardships of pregnancy, exchanged recipes, looked forward to the future education of children, talked about art, literature, recently released movies, and some future arrangements for Warner Pictures.
Because of the presence of service personnel, it was impossible for them to discuss confidential topics.
But only in general terms,
It has also made the waiter next to him shine, planning to find a way to buy some Warner Pictures stocks.
In fact, the waiter was also very curious. The three of them, who are supposed to be incompatible with each other, would get together to chat about beauty treatments.
I can only lament that Hemingway's charm is too great, and his time management skills are too good!
It didn't take long to soak in the bath, and soon they came out, came to a lounge, and continued to chat.
A masseur gave Duan Xiaochen a massage to relax. Half an hour later, Duan Xiaochen said, "That's enough, you can go out first."
Soon there were only three of them left in the room.
"By the way, I brought you something." Yan Yingzhen said to Xu Qingya.
She picked up her mobile phone and made a call, and soon a service staff came in with a smile and carried a bulging handbag, and put it down without saying a word.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Yan Yingzhen had no other orders, she quietly left again.
Xu Qingya opened the handbag and saw a pile of old baby clothes, she immediately smiled in surprise and joy: "Wow, are these Caiwei's clothes before? Thank you, Sister Yan!"
"You're welcome, I still have some," Yan Yingzhen said with a smile, "You don't think it's old, after all, these clothes have been collected for almost ten years. But I have people wash them every year, so there is absolutely no musty smell .”
"How can you dislike it? My mother said that children should wear old clothes. Xiaodoudou will be very happy to wear sister Caiwei's clothes."
Duan Xiaochen's gaze became very subtle, looking at her swollen belly, "Are you going to call her Xiaodoudou?"
This was the first time that she took the initiative to bring up the topic of the child in Xu Qingya's womb.
Xu Qingya nodded with a smile, her motherly brilliance shone on her face, "Does it sound good?"
"It always feels like the name of a little boy. This is a baby girl in your stomach." Duan Xiaochen said.
Xu Qingya smiled and said, "Little babies are gender-neutral! In English, they are called it, and they don't know he or she. So I think it's okay!"
"It's up to you, your own child, you can call it whatever you want." Duan Xiaochen curled his lips to hide his envy.
Xu Qingya was smart, so she quickly understood Duan Xiaochen's feelings, and comforted her: "Sister Duan, the matter of pregnancy depends on fate. Your fate is not here now, but it might be when it will be. I will give you a healthy and smart Where's your baby. Take it easy!"
Duan Xiaochen said stubbornly, "I'm not in a hurry."
If at this time, someone recorded these pictures and conversations and posted them on the Internet, people all over the country would probably be shocked.
After all, in the imagination of most people, even if these three people did not fight, at least they were incompatible.
How could they talk and laugh like they are now.
Although the smile is a bit fake and the atmosphere is not very harmonious, at least there is not much gunpowder in the words, and there is no such tit-for-tat situation.
Of course, the three of them did not appreciate or like each other.
After all, they are all independent and self-reliant women, not the kind of women in the old era who were under the personal dependence relationship and were forced to share their husbands with other women. Although they hated each other, they could only hide the hatred in their hearts.
Although they are actually sharing the same man, this is not forced, but out of their own choice.
Out of love.
Each of them can choose to withdraw at any time.
It's just that between losing completely and sharing with others, they all chose to share.
"I don't want to leave by myself foolishly and hand him over to them!" It's unknown whether I have such an idea or not.
Of course they don't like each other, and it can even be said that they must be hostile to each other.
They all have their own personalities and prides.
It's just because of love, because I don't want to lose that person, because I know that it is impossible to monopolize that big carrot.
They didn't want to be out of the game because of messing around, so all three of them maintained a certain degree of restraint.
If you don't want to quit, and you can't monopolize it, you can only share it with these few people who are hostile to each other, so you can only try not to meet them.
If it is really necessary to meet—even though they don't like each other, they both restrain their tempers and barely coexist peacefully.
At least don't make a joke.
After chatting casually for a while, Yan Yingzhen suggested: "It's so boring, I'll call another girlfriend over, let's play mahjong together!"
"I don't want to play mahjong now." Duan Xiaochen said.
Xu Qingya didn't object, but suggested with a smile: "That's ok, call Sister Yu Qing."
Yan Yingzhen and Duan Xiaochen glared at her.
Yan Yingzhen said coldly, "I don't know Yu Qing well."
Duan Xiaochen asked, "Do you want one more?"
Xu Qingya smiled slyly, "I was just joking."
"Then play Fight the Landlord?" Yan Yingzhen asked instead.
Xu Qingya said lazily: "My stomach is so heavy and I'm tired of exertion. I just want to sleep and don't want to waste my brain."
Yan Yingzhen said disgustedly: "I am pregnant too, you are so young, pregnancy is very easy! When I was pregnant with Caiwei, I was 9 months old and still attended online classes and cooked by myself every day."
Xu Qingya smiled and said, "I'm not as good as you, Sister Yan, I'm just a little slacker."
Yan Yingzhen put a serious face on her face: "To be able to practice Kunqu opera to your level, it is not just talent. You have suffered as much as anyone else."
Xu Qingya stuck out her tongue: "Sister, can't you hear that I'm joking?"
"I can tell, but I just can't help but want to teach you a few words with a sullen face." Yan Yingzhen glanced at her.
Duan Xiaochen applauded in his heart.
And Xu Qingya was not angry, and said with a smile: "It's right for my sister to teach my sister a lesson."
"Come on, you and I are not good sisters." Yan Yingzhen paused for a moment before saying, "It's just that our daughters are sisters, and that's our relationship. So, don't expect me to like you, give you a good face Look. But in order not to cause any rift between the little sisters, I won't deliberately target you."
Seeing Yan Yingzhen's straightforward and serious words, Xu Qingya straightened her waist and nodded seriously: "I understand, but I should call you Sister Yan, it's polite."
"It's up to you." Yan Yingzhen realized that her emotions were a little raised just now, so she closed her mouth, not wanting to speak.
After all, she didn't come to fight.
To control emotions.
Duan Xiaochen took over the conversation: "Xiao Xu, what are your plans after giving birth?"
In fact, this was the question she most wanted to ask in response to the party organized by Yan Yingzhen today.
"Me?" Although Xu Qingya is about to become a mother, her smile is still very girlish, very fresh and a little mischievous, it can be said that she is smiling sweetly, and there are glances in her beautiful eyes.
She rolled her eyes, "I made a lot of movies, sang a lot of songs, and sang a lot of scenes."
Duan Xiaochen nodded slightly disappointed.
"But," Xu Qingya changed the subject, "after all, I'm still young and still need to learn. I want to walk around and learn some interesting things."
Duan Xiaochen cheered up, "What to learn?"
Xu Qingya glanced at her with a smile, "Sister Duan, what you are interested in is not what I study, but where I study."
The corner of Duan Xiaochen's mouth twitched, but he didn't deny it.
Xu Qingya said solemnly, "There are three places I want to go to, Wessex and Gaul. I plan to go to these two places to study their drama performances. I also want to go to the Olive Country to study opera. These don't need to be sophisticated. Research, just to learn a little bit, to comprehend by analogy."
"Well, there are actually a lot of inconveniences. After all, a child cannot leave his mother for a long time, and I don't want my child to grow up in an environment where foreign languages are spoken. I want her to receive an elementary education in Chinese."
Speaking of this, she lowered her head and pressed the tip of her eyebrows, looking a little hesitant.
And Duan Xiaochen showed joy when he heard her words, but because of her hesitation, he didn't dare to laugh out loud.
"It's hard to find a way to have both in this world." Yan Yingzhen said at this time.
There is a glass of mineral water in front of her. Before that, she was looking at the water surface boredly, as if she was studying the water quality.
When she said this, she didn't look up.
"But," Yan Yingzhen dragged her voice, and when Xu Qingya and Duan Xiaochen looked at her, she smiled, "If you are rich enough, you can overcome many difficulties."
"For example, at a relatively high price, from among the local international students, hire good conduct and careful work as babysitters, and hire tutors when the children are older."
Yan Yingzhen doesn't like to mix English in her speech, but she didn't think of the corresponding Chinese vocabulary for the word babysitter.
Xu Qingya, who is highly educated, and Duan Xiaochen, who is self-taught, can naturally understand it.
Xu Qingya nodded: "This is a way."
Yan Yingzhen looked up at her with a half-smile, "Many times, you can't think of a solution, just because you haven't adapted to the new way of thinking. You have to learn to think like this—you don't plan to spend his money, but he is happy to help you Spending the last penny with his children. Of course, this is an analogy. With his assets, it is not easy to spend it all."
Xu Qingya pursed her lips and smiled, Duan Xiaochen also curled her lips with a smile in her eyes.
"So, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Do you understand? Many difficulties can be easily solved." Yan Yingzhen taught earnestly and kindly.
Xu Qingya nodded thoughtfully: "If you use this way of thinking... Indeed, many difficulties are not difficult to solve."
She paused, blinking her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like a small fan.
It is also because of the high frequency of opening and closing of the eyelids that her beautiful eyes shine like gems under the light.
"That's it." Finally, as if she had made up her mind, "my due date is October. After the Spring Festival, I will take the baby abroad. The first stop is to go to Gaul, and then wait until the baby is in elementary school. go home."
This is 5 or 6 years.
Duan Xiaochen smiled all over his face, not hiding his happiness.
At least for these 5 or 6 years, she and Xu Qingya would not have to have conflicts.
If Brother Du misses Xiao Xu, he will fly to Gaul to see Xiao Xu.
Duan Xiaochen had some communication with Yan Yingzhen before, and although he didn't speak too bluntly, they almost expressed their respective demands.
They are all independent women with their own careers.
Each has its own temper.
If you usually act in a circle for a long time, sooner or later you will get into trouble because of jealousy or because of competing for certain interests.
In fact, there is really no need for that.
None of them are greedy for a title—it's not that they don't want it, but they rationally don't fight for a title, and it's actually impossible to win it.
Therefore, for them, the ideal situation is that they are relatively far apart, and each has its own field and circle.
There is little chance of conflict at ordinary times, and there is no need to forcibly suppress yourself to maintain a fragile peace.
Xu Qingya is indeed a smart girl, she quickly understood the meaning of this.
Duan Xiaochen said with a smile, "In the next few years, I will spend more time in Stars and Stripes and Sakura Island—at least three quarters of the time each year."
Xu Qingya also understood what she said, turned her gaze to Yan Yingzhen, and said with a smile: "Sister Yan must be in China. But what about Warner Pictures?"
"For the time being, Lao Du is in charge." Yan Yingzhen said simply.
