Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 531, "The Wandering Earth"

Dinner consisted of five dishes and a soup: braised pork ribs made by Liu Yan, cold dishes mixed by Nazha, and winter melon and pork rib soup stewed by Li Dabai. We also took out dumplings that Auntie had made in advance and two ready-made braised dishes from the refrigerator to complete the meal.

After Jingchen finished his complementary food, he was put in his crib. He was engrossed in chewing on a soft rubber dinosaur, occasionally making a few unintelligible babbling sounds.

The four people sat around the dining table, eating and chatting.

After dinner, Nazha and Liu Yan cleaned up the dishes, and Li Dabai pulled Fu Yibai upstairs.

The bathroom was filled with steam. Li Dabai tested the water temperature and then turned around to help Fu Yibai unbutton his shirt.

"Have you missed me this past month?"

What do you think?

Fu Yibai lowered his head and kissed her.

Li Dabai stood on tiptoe to respond to his kiss, his fingers sliding from his chest to his waist, and he took the shirt off his shoulders and threw it into the laundry basket.

Her nightgown was damp from the moisture and clung to her body, outlining her graceful curves.

The sound of rushing water drowned out their breathing.

When Li Dabai came out of the bathroom, he was held in Fu Yibai's arms, his cheek pressed against his chest.

Fu Yibai put her on the bed, and she pulled him down with her hand, whispering something in his ear.

"Don't even think about running away tonight."

When the door was knocked on, Li Dabai was making a concerted attack.

She turned her head and glanced at the doorway. Liu Yan pushed the door open and came in, followed by Nazha.

Liu Yan wore a light purple silk nightgown, her hair loose over her shoulders.

Naza, wearing a white nightgown, stood somewhat awkwardly at the door, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Jingchen is asleep."

Liu Yan walked to the bedside and sat down, then reached out and pinched Fu Yibai's waist.

"I haven't seen you for over a month. You'll have to work overtime tonight."

Naza stood by the bed, twisting the hem of her nightgown with her fingers.

Fu Yibai reached out and grabbed her wrist, gently pulling her down onto the bed, her nose almost hitting Fu Yibai's chin.

.........

At 2 a.m., the lights in the master bedroom finally went out.

The next morning at 7:30, Fu Yibai was woken up by his phone alarm.

Li Dabai turned over, pulled the blanket over his head, and mumbled something indistinctly.

Liu Yan was no longer in bed; Jing Chen's whimpering could be heard from downstairs.

Naza was curled up on the other side of the bed, fast asleep.

Fu Yibai quietly got out of bed, took a shower in the bathroom, and changed into a clean shirt and trousers.

When they came downstairs, Liu Yan was carrying Jing Chen and pacing around the living room. The little guy was perched on her shoulder. When he saw Fu Yibai coming downstairs, he stretched out his little hand and waved to him.

"Going to the company today?"

Liu Yan asked.

"Okay, let's go check on the editing progress of 'The Wandering Earth'."

Fu Yibai walked over to her and kissed Jing Chen on the forehead.

"Come back for dinner tonight."

"it is good."

Zhang Xinyu's car was already parked in front of the villa.

Fu Yibai opened the car door and sat in the back seat. The car drove out of the capital villa area and headed towards Chenxi.

At 8:10, Fu Yibai arrived at Chenxi.

Pushing open the door to the editing room, Lao Zhou turned around and immediately stood up upon seeing him.

"Mr. Fu."

"Have a seat, I just came to check on the progress."

Fu Yibai sat down in the chair next to him.

"What stage is the rough cut at?"

"There are only two scenes left: the lunar nuclear explosion and the montage before the end credits."

Old Zhou moved the timeline forward a bit.

"Would you like to take a look at the parts that have already been cut?"

"Let it go."

Old Zhou pressed play.

Fu Yibai spent more than three hours looking at it and pointed out several things he was not satisfied with.

Old Zhou wrote it down in his notebook, saying he would try to finish revising it within the week.

After leaving the editing room, Fu Yibai returned to his office on the 28th floor.

There were two stacks of documents on his desk, all of which he needed to review.

It was already 6:30 PM when I finished processing the last document.

Fu Yibai rubbed his neck and stood up from the chair.

Zhang Xinyu pushed the door open and came in.

"Mr. Fu, the car is ready."

"Um."

Fu Yibai picked up his coat and walked with her toward the elevator.

The roads were unusually congested tonight, and it was already dark when I got back to the villa in the capital.

Liu Yan and Li Dabai were busy in the kitchen, while Nazha was playing with Jing Chen in the living room.

The little guy sat on the playmat with a bunch of soft rubber toys in front of him. He picked up a dinosaur and put it in his mouth. Naza quickly pulled the dinosaur out and replaced it with a rattle. He paused for a second, then continued to chew on the rattle.

"Are you done with your work?"

Liu Yan peeked out from the kitchen.

"That's about it."

Fu Yibai changed into slippers and walked over, squatting down next to the crawling mat.

When Jingchen saw him, he shoved the bell into his hand and made a "baba" sound.

"Give me?"

Fu Yibai took the bell, and Jing Chen grinned, revealing his two newly emerging front teeth.

Fu Yibai picked up his son, Jingchen, who was perched on his shoulder, patting his back with his little hands, making a loud patting sound.

Dinner was just as lively as last night.

The four of them sat around the dining table, eating and chatting. Jingchen sat in a baby high chair, holding a bottle and drinking milk, kicking his little feet.

After dinner, Liu Yan carried Jing Chen to take a shower, while Li Dabai and Nazha cleaned up the dishes.

Fu Yibai leaned back on the sofa and looked at his phone when Yang Rong sent him a video of Zhao Ning.

In the video, the little girl stood holding onto the edge of the sofa, took two shaky steps forward, and then plopped down on the ground.

The voice-over is Yang's mother shouting "Zhaoning is great!" The little girl sits on the ground, grinning and showing her four little white teeth.

Fu Yibai watched the video three times and then replied with a message.

I'll come see you this weekend.
