Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 415: Aunt, I’ll Keep You Company

After helping to shoot a scene and waiting for Xie Qingci to finish, Yu Xia prepared to leave.

Xie Qingci held her hand, pressing his lips together with a calm expression, looking a bit unhappy.

"Can’t you stay a few more days? You don’t have any work commitments recently anyway?"

Yu Xia wasn’t going to stay and endure this hardship.

"The environment here isn’t good. Wouldn’t it be better for me to go back and enjoy a refined life instead of staying here to suffer with you?"

Xie Qingci looked at her with accusing eyes: "You don’t want to suffer with me?"

His tone made it seem like she was a bad woman abandoning her poor husband just to enjoy herself.

She glanced at the assistant next to her, patting his arm: "Alright, who visits a set for days, anyway? It’s not like I’m here to tutor you. And besides, with me here, you can’t film properly. If I stayed longer, everyone would really think I’m just here to monitor."

"It’s not like I won’t let you watch over me." He unhappily moved the chair blocking their way, taking her outside.

With a cold face, his imposing manner was intimidating. As they left the maple forest, he reluctantly demanded a two-minute kiss.

Yu Xia gave him a peck.

"Alright, I’m leaving now. There’s one thing I need to remind you of—"

She gestured towards the rest area inside, lightly saying, "I don’t like that Rong Tan. Besides filming, stay away from her."

Xie Qingci: "Or else?"

"If you cause any scandals... sigh, I can’t say how I’ll react, but I really don’t like others eyeballing what’s mine. If that thing grows legs and runs away, I’ll break its legs."

Xie Qingci’s assistant shivered beside them.

Xie Qingci himself remained calm, lazily saying, "Got it. You’re quite strict."

Yu Xia kissed the corner of his lips again, waved goodbye.

"Do well in filming, and there’s a reward when you return."

...

As the year was close to ending, with a new year approaching, He Ci considered the prospects of a fresh start and managed to secure a new endorsement resource for Yu Xia.

"Two endorsements expired before, and I didn’t plan to renew them. Your status is different now; you need to gradually eliminate endorsements that don’t match, so you don’t get dragged into trouble."

These days, artists endorsing products can easily either influence products negatively or be negatively influenced by them.

Previously, a company was criticized online for stopping donations to impoverished areas. The issue escalated to a debate on capital stances, greatly damaging the company’s image and affecting its products, so the endorser opted to break the contract, paying the penalty to end the endorsement.

The penalty paid was twice the earnings from the endorsement.

Yu Xia fully agreed with He Ci’s caution, so during New Year’s Day, she announced a new endorsement and went to shoot new materials. She couldn’t return home to celebrate with her brother’s family.

Her brother once again expressed dissatisfaction with her work.

"You’re just like a nomad, running around everywhere. How long has it been since you last came back?"

Yu Xia felt slightly embarrassed: "What nomad? I’m doing this to earn money, for work. Don’t you also work overtime daily for your job?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Yu Heng’s stern, handsome face covered two-thirds of the screen as he said mercilessly:

"You think I like working overtime? If I didn’t have to support the three of you, I’d retire now."

"... Haha, bro, you’re really funny. So, what tasty things did you eat today? Did you order something for me?"

"You’re not even here, why would I order tribute for you?"

Yu Xia: "... Bro, you’re really... If you weren’t already married, you’d end up all alone like this."

Yue Ling popped up on the screen, smiling: "He just wants you to come back. When will you have time?"

A little carrot head appeared too: "Auntie, when will you come back to see me? I really miss you."

Isn’t this line reserved for Xie Qingci?

She was momentarily distracted, facing Yu Yue’s bright eyes on the screen, guiltily saying: "I’ll let you know when I’m not busy. Just endure your family until I come to rescue you."

Yu Yue immediately pouted: "Ah—how long will that be?"

He held the phone, turning it quietly saying: "I can’t stay at this house any longer."

This again, how many times has he said it already.

She was about to say something when Yu Heng suddenly took the phone, giving them a suggestion.

"Since you both cherish each other so much, I have an idea. I spoke to your agent, and apart from shooting ads, you don’t have other work. Since he’s also going on holiday, let him stay with you until New Year, then you both come back together."

Yu Yue’s eyes lit up, immediately getting excited: "Great, great! Auntie, I’ll come to keep you company!"

Yu Xia couldn’t even bring herself to dampen his spirits.

Is he really coming to keep someone company? It’s obvious his parents want to enjoy some alone time, so they’re thinking of leaving him with her.

"You want to reminisce about pre-marital happiness with my sister-in-law? Haven’t you thought that your son and I might not get along?"

Yu Heng remained composed and natural, as if he wasn’t doing this for personal reasons but rather in everyone’s best interest.

He even planned their living arrangements.

"Your nephew isn’t picky with food. You can just order takeout or eat out. I’ll give you a card. If your boyfriend is around, even better. He can cook, saving money and making sure you don’t go hungry."

"... You’re really good at making plans." She was just speechless.

Compared to her, Yu Yue was extremely excited, eager to pack his bag and go.

"Auntie! Didn’t you say that brother would take me out to have fun? Are you keeping your word? I know adults sometimes break promises for no reason, but if you do, I’ll just be a bit sad and won’t blame you."

Yu Xia rolled her eyes: "Can you even write the word for ’no reason’?"

Yue Ling laughed and helped answer: "He might actually know how to write those words. Your brother recently took him to the company to do his homework. There’s a female assistant in their team who used to be a language teacher and loves kids. She tutors him in homework daily, and he even passed his last exam."

"Wow! You passed? I was planning to buy you a set of language practice papers for daily practice."

Yu Yue: "... Maybe Auntie, you should just send me to that brother’s house directly."

At least outsiders would be embarrassed to force him into homework.

But Yu Xia straightforwardly refused: "Do you think it’s a tutoring center? Keep dreaming. He’s busy with work, no time to take you out to play."

"Then, I... I’ll still come, Auntie, take me out for good food~"

Yu Heng grandly waved: "It’s settled then, right? I’ll send him over during the holidays, just wait for him at home."

"Okay—"

When it came to sending off their son, the light bulb, and enjoying the alone time with his wife, Yu Heng was very eager, remembering it better than his work. Right after Yu Yue’s afternoon exams, he sent him over that evening.

Along with two suitcases, it felt like Yu Yue wasn’t just coming for a short stay, but as if his entire life was being entrusted to Yu Xia.

Yu Yue jumped around excitedly, while she just exchanged glances with her brother and sister-in-law, who smiled shyly and showed no embarrassment.

After a long moment, she sighed.
