Chapter 89
Originally, because of Su Tang’s special status, the work Jiang Cha accepted for him wasn’t particularly much. Therefore, after receiving the news that Su Tang was pregnant and needed to stop work to focus on prenatal care and delivery, it didn’t take much effort to push away the work that could be canceled.
Only the Undercurrent premiere press conference and a livestream for the SILENCE spokesperson position remained. The intensity wasn’t high either.
Under Su Tang’s soft and hard persuasion, the Alpha reluctantly agreed. However, there was one requirement: he himself must accompany him.
“Ye Xiansheng, isn’t your requirement too simple?”
Feeding the little goldfish, Su Tang held the phone and spoke in a soft, sweet tone, smiling toward the Alpha on the other end of the line.
How could this be considered a requirement? Having his own Alpha accompany him was basically a benefit for him, Su Tang.
He didn’t know if it was because the pregnancy had caused some changes in his body, or because of Ye Chiyu’s day-after-day pampering, but Su Tang wished he could be stuck to the Alpha’s side every day, kissing his pleasant-smelling pheromones, holding his powerful arm, and enjoying his gentle kisses.
Case in point: Ye Chiyu had gone to the company for less than half a day to help Qi Yuan, who was nearly collapsing under pressure, and Su Tang had already called the Alpha several times.
Ye Chiyu had slight nearsightedness. He wore a pair of silver-rimmed thin-framed glasses as he looked at the documents Qi Yuan couldn’t handle. His gaze was soft as he spoke: “It’s not simple. If the fact that I am your husband is discovered by the media, you’ll start to have troubles, Tangtang.”
“I won’t…” Su Tang pursed his lips. After dashingly tossing another handful of fish food to the goldfish, he lay back on the sofa. “I’m not afraid.”
Ye Chiyu let out a light laugh and gave an Mhm. He said he would try to finish all his work in the morning and wouldn’t have to come back to the company in the afternoon. This immediately made the little Omega, who was home alone, happy, and he hung up the phone gleefully.
Ye Chiyu looked at the “call ended” screen with affection. He turned and instructed Qi Yuan to send someone to Su Tang’s favorite dessert shop to order a low-sugar matcha cake and have it delivered directly to the house later.
The employee under Qi Yuan who received the order to get the cake silently shared the news with his best friends. They collectively concluded that the cake was definitely for the Madam.
Although Su Tang’s own culinary skills were very good, Ye Chiyu considered that he was pregnant and feared the little guy might have an accident while home alone. Lunch was always ordered after asking Su Tang what he wanted to eat, and then delivered to the house.
After Su Tang successfully fed himself, the overtime-working Ye Chiyu returned home just in time to finish the dishes the Omega hadn’t finished. Conveniently, he also accompanied Su Tang in eating some cake.
The sugar-addicted Su Tang sighed after tasting the low-sugar version of the cake. Although the cake was still delicious, he had already begun to miss the days before he was pregnant when he could eat sweets freely.
There were too many precautions during pregnancy. Not to mention many things he couldn’t do, there were also many things he couldn’t eat. Just the point of having to control sugar intake alone made Su Tang feel very uncomfortable.
“Be good. Just endure these few months. Once the baby is born, we can eat whatever we want.”
Ye Chiyu stroked the little guy’s head and comforted him.
Su Tang nodded. He looked angry and helpless as he lowered his head—his movement looked fierce, but in reality, it was just gentle—and poked his own stomach, looking incredibly brave yet soft on the inside.
“Look, baby, Daddy is making a huge sacrifice for you! You’d better show me proper filial piety when you come out in the future…!”
Ye Chiyu smiled without a word, silently recording this cute and warm scene with his phone. He planned to take out this video someday in the future to add a little spice to their lives.
Since they had decided to temporarily stop work, they still had to give the fans and media an explanation. Since knowing Su Tang was pregnant, Jiang Cha had discussed it with the studio staff for a long time. After seeking Su Tang and Ye Chiyu’s opinions, they decided to selectively announce some news.
After Su Tang reached three months of pregnancy and his condition was completely stable, he posted a Weibo from his own account.
[Married the person I super-like, and now I’m preparing to have a baby along the way.]
The accompanying photo was a picture of his and Ye Chiyu’s hands wearing wedding rings, along with a color ultrasound photo of the fetus.
To dare high-profilely announce being married and pregnant so soon after becoming popular was rare even in the entertainment circle where various bizarre events happened every day.
Su Tang’s Weibo, with few words but explosive content, quickly occupied the top of various entertainment charts. After his appearance in Undercurrent, he ushered in another wave of discussion.
The first to react were Su Tang’s fans. After the shock of this information-dense Weibo post, they quickly forwarded it and expressed relief that their “child” had grown up, offering various stylish blessings. Their acceptance of Su Tang’s marriage and child-bearing was surprisingly high, which Su Tang hadn’t expected.
Other netizens, while “eating melon,” began to be curious about who Su Tang’s Alpha husband was, digging for information and making various guesses.
Fortunately, the intensity with which Ye Chiyu had people block the news was truly high. Netizens, like “melons in a field,” jumped around digging for many days, yet there was still nothing regarding Su Tang’s Alpha.
Instead, the photos of Su Tang under the begonia path taken by that photographer previously were discovered. The face in the lens, which looked like a descending deity, quickly helped Su Tang attract a wave of visual fans. Following that, the official trailer for Undercurrent was released.
It was vastly different from his usual image, and within the short ten-second clips, the acting skills shown—which were not inferior even when acting opposite the Movie King—elevated him to a new height once again.
At the premiere of Undercurrent, Su Tang’s appearance, after not being seen by the media for a long time, attracted many eyes.
By this time, Su Tang was four months pregnant. His stomach had a slightly protruding, barely noticeable curve. From the front, it might not be obvious, but from the side in slightly form-fitting clothes, one could easily see this was an Omega who was already pregnant.
In May, the weather had turned from warming to gradually hot. The premiere was indoors. On that day, Su Tang wore a casual suit with a pair of silver-rimmed plain glasses. The loose off-white jacket perfectly concealed his slightly protruding pregnant belly.
The premiere took the form of a combination of on-site and livestream. Su Tang, appearing before everyone again after a long absence from the camera, was still stunning. His exquisite, beautiful face combined with a clean and fresh look made him a hit. Moreover, since this was his first appearance since the official announcement and the lineup for the premiere was very strong, the livestream occupied the number one spot on the hot charts as soon as it began.
Having not seen everyone from the production crew in a long time, Su Tang took Ye Chiyu to greet everyone one by one in the backstage lounge.
The Ye Group had a famous reputation, but since Ye Chiyu rarely appeared in public, there weren’t many people who recognized him. However, those on-site with higher status and positions all recognized Ye Chiyu. After a slight surprise, they acted as if they didn’t know and naturally shook hands with the Alpha to get to know each other.
Su Tang held the Alpha’s arm, watching his Ye Xiansheng greet various crew colleagues. For some reason, it gave him a “meeting the parents” vibe, and the smile on his face didn’t stop the whole time.
