Chapter 67 part 1
For the next few days, Tang Yue accompanied Tang Mian as he adjusted to life in S City, even taking him along to company meetings.
Most of Tang Yueās current team consisted of the original staff from Away. They absolutely adored Tang Mian.
This caused the little guy significant distress, and he frequently complained to Jiang Shulu about being too popular.
Jiang Shulu was photographed entering and leaving Liang Yiās company, the Kunyu Group, several days in a row, sparking considerable speculation.
The label of “eating soft rice” was reinforced again, but many fans didn’t have the energy to scold him anymore.
After all, every time Jiang Shulu and Tang Yue were photographedāeven in blurry shotsāthere was an overwhelming sense of deep affection radiating from them.
Currently, Tang Yueās name sat high atop the list of “Most Anticipated Concerts” voted by music fans.
He had ignited the market for the second half of the year with a single single, prying away all the traffic. What was there left to say?
Perhaps because Jiang Shulu looked so different now compared to his time in the group, the fans who initially insisted he and Tang Yue were just a publicity stunt had largely gone quiet.
Lily of the Valley in the Attic had brought an almost overwhelming victory to Jiang Shulu in the public opinion war against the Jiang family.
As it trickled down to the general market, the story spread rapidly. Many people now knew the tale.
Even if public opinion could rarely topple a top-tier wealthy family, at least it did no harm to Jiang Shulu or Tang Yue.
It also earned Chengkong Media a wave of heat, allowing them to ruthlessly push the remastered versions of Tang Yueās old songs.
Combined with the soundtracks Tang Yue had produced for hit dramas over the years, they implemented a comprehensive promotional linkage.
Tang Yue was still Awayās Tang Yue, but when many people mentioned the name now, they associated it with clips from hit dramas of recent years.
Even Liu Xichao envied Tang Yueās constitution. From his debut until now, his reputation and popularity with the general public had been excellent.
Unlike him and Yao Lixin, whose fans and anti-fans were split 50-50. Although he felt he didn’t have a glass heart, he still got hurt occasionally.
Or perhaps Tang Yue simply didn’t care about the comments from anti-fans.
Today, Tang Yue brought Tang Mian to Chengkong to record a song. Liu Xichao, having finished shooting a commercial, came over to see his youngest brother, incidentally buying a balloon that kids liked recently for Tang Mian.
Because the balloon was truly massive, the company employees couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.
Liu Xichao asked Tang Mian, who had returned from his morning coding class for kids, “Where is your other dad?”
Tang Mian: “He accompanied me to class, dropped me and Xiao Yue off here, and said he had something to do, so he left.”
Tang Mian held the balloon with one hand and reached for a strawberry with the other.
Behind the glass, Tang Yue was still recording, looking very focused.
His manager, Lin-jie, was also there today. Tang Yueās achievements under the alias “Evening” were terrifying, and after his real name was revealed, the invitations were endless.
Recently, a film and television company had sent an invitation, hoping Tang Yue would produce the OST for a new drama.
Lin-jie hadn’t experienced this feeling of being spoiled for choice in a long time. She sat to the side and asked Liu Xichao, “Do you want to help take a look?”
Liu Xichao: “Can I look?”
Lin-jie laughed. “What’s wrong with the Lady Boss taking a look?”
Liu Xichao couldn’t stand that title. “I’m getting goosebumps.”
Even though his relationship with Jiang He was known to everyone, people in the company rarely saw them being affectionate in public.
Tang Yue had only seen them making out in the stairwell once, and even then, he had mistaken who it was.
Lin-jie: “Alright, then take a look as Tang Yueās older brother.”
Liu Xichao: “That’s more like it.”
He chatted with Lin-jie about the recent direction of public opinion regarding Tang Yue and felt a bit envious. “This kid seems born to be liked.”
Lin-jie had watched them grow up and nodded in agreement. “When he first joined the group, his injuries hadn’t even healed. Who wouldn’t feel heart-ache looking at him?”
The woman paused. “I’m actually surprised that someone with your personality treats Tang Yue so well.”
Liu Xichao said “Hey!” “What do you mean ‘someone like me’? I used to go for the gentle image.”
Lin-jie sipped her coffee. “Not anymore.”
Liu Xichao laughed. “True, true. But look, Tang Yue even handled the most difficult one, Jiang Shulu. Who wouldn’t say that’s impressive?”
Tang Mian, biting on a fork nearby, asked curiously, “Is Shulu Baba difficult to handle?”
Liu Xichao: “Yes. He looks like someone who wouldn’t like anyone.”
Tang Mian: “But he likes Xiao Yue very much.”
Liu Xichao: “That’s why love is unreasonable.”
Tang Mian: “I like Xiao Yue too.”
Liu Xichao: “We all like him.”
Lin-jie: “Tang Yue really has a big heart. In the past, he ignored all malicious comments, saying he only cared about the people who liked him.”
Liu Xichao: “That logic is sound. After all, people who hate me will hate me no matter how I explain myself.”
He flipped through the invitation emails in his hand. There were even film scores, and the conditions offered were very generous. They clearly valued Tang Yueās ability.
Liu Xichao: “Would choosing a movie be better?”
His gaze landed on one of the names. “This is strange. Look at this movie; Sheng Cangyun is making a cameo. Didn’t he retire?”
Lin-jie: “It’s such a pity he retired. He’ll only be thirty after the New Year.”
“Did you not know?”
Liu Xichao: “What?”
Lin-jie: “A news story about him was suppressed last year. He returned to the country with a child to attend a funeral.”
Liu Xichao smiled. “I only knew he retired because of a secret marriage and child. Seems similar to our Tang Yue.”
This legendary figure had a terrifying resume. He debuted so early that many thought he was older, but in reality, he was only four years older than Liu Xichao.
Yet, when Away won awards in their debut year, the young Sheng Cangyun was the one sitting in the presenter’s seat.
Liu Xichao looked at Tang Yue recording inside, thinking, how come everyone is suddenly having children?
Although Yao Lixin had said Tang Mian was born by Tang Yue, and they had asked Jiang Shulu who confirmed it with a nod…
They still felt it was too magical.
No wonder that manga artist online went crazy reposting male pregnancy content all day. Who wouldn’t want that!!
Don’t tell me Sheng Cangyunās child was born by himself too!
Bombarded by intense news about male pregnancy recently, Liu Xichao felt he had become desensitized.
It felt like not being able to give birth was the anomaly.
Liu Xichao wanted to look at the scene requirements for the invitation more closely, but suddenly heard the studio assistant retouching photos screamā
“Holy sh*t! The Number One Paparazzi released the big melon they’ve been teasing for a week!!”
“He actually said Sheng Cangyun gave birth to the child himself!!!”
Outside the recording booth was a group of staff who had just finished a meeting. The atmosphere exploded instantly, filled with cries of “Wtf”, “Save me”, and “Real or fake?”
Liu Xichao, who had just been speculating, was stunned.
Even Lin-jie, who had worked behind the scenes in the industry for so many years and had recently accepted some popular science on male pregnancy, never expected it to happen in the entertainment circle.
If it were a D-list celebrity, fine, but this was a top-tier movie star!!!
Tang Mian saw the adults around him getting excited and was a little curious.
Just then, Tang Yue finished recording and came out. An assistant handed him warm water, and he walked toward Tang Mian while drinking.
The giant ice-cream-shaped balloon was tied to Tang Mianās wrist, and the child was eating a fruit platter.
Tang Yue greeted Liu Xichao but found the other didn’t respond, staring intently and seriously at his phone.
Lin-jie was doing the same.
The whole circle of staff was whispering to each other.
Tang Yue didn’t understand. He took the fork from Tang Mian, skewered a few pieces of fruit, hugged Tang Mian, and asked, “Baba can go back with you this afternoon.”
“What do you want to eat?”
Then Liu Xichao shouted Tang Yueās name, startling him.
Liu Xichao: “Why did your husband go to the hospital?”
Tang Yue reached out and took the phone Liu Xichao handed him.
Besides the trending topic #ShengCangyunMalePregnancy#, there was a linked topic rising in heat: #JiangShulu AndrologyClinic#
