The longed-for village system

Chapter 241 Leaving
Hearing the commotion inside, the women outside didn't go in to disturb them. Although they were also curious about how Chen Qing treated Ya Ya, they weren't stupid. Judging from their condition, they knew it wasn't convenient for outsiders to be present during the treatment. Going in would only make Ya Ya and Chen Qing feel awkward.

About half an hour later, Chen Qing left the room and closed the door. Inside, Ya Ya picked up her clothes and went back into the bathroom to change her underwear. After a while, she dressed and went out of the room to help in the kitchen.

"How is Yaya? Is Brother Chen feeling any better after the treatment?" Qinqin, who was cooking in the kitchen, asked Yaya as she returned.

Ya Ya, whose fever had already subsided, blushed slightly when Qin Qin mentioned the word "comfortable." She did feel a little better after the treatment, but the most comfortable feeling was during the treatment itself. The warmth was intoxicating and irresistible. Her body even felt weak when she saw Chen Qing, which was the main reason why she avoided Chen Qing after the treatment.

"Mmm! Much better. Brother Chen's medical skills are really amazing." Ya Ya could only nod in response, then picked up the ingredients next to her and started cooking.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while before Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu returned to the old house. Although she had taken a nap earlier, Zhao Xiaogu was still quite tired, so she went back to the old house to rest for the sake of the baby in her belly.

The next morning, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu saw Shishi, Qinqin, and the other girls off to their car. Given their status, it was already quite rare for them to be able to come to Manyuan Village for two days. Moreover, there were too many reporters and paparazzi in the village now, so it wouldn't be appropriate for them to continue their visit.

"Xiao Gu, take good care of our goddaughter. We'll come to see you again when we have time." Mi Mi instructed Zhao Xiao Gu, then waved to Chen Qing, "Brother Chen, take good care of Xiao Gu! We'll be going now."

"See you next time, Brother Chen!" The women waved goodbye to Chen Qing.

After watching the girls' car leave, Chen Qing, Zhao Xiaogu, and Ya Ya turned around and walked back. Ya Ya had told her agent that she would be back a few days later because she was receiving treatment.

As soon as the three entered the courtyard, Zhao Xiaogu's phone rang. Upon seeing that the caller ID showed it was from an unknown number, Zhao Xiaogu hung up. As a popular celebrity, she would usually refuse such calls because if she answered, her identity would likely be exposed.

Work-related matters will only be addressed to her agent or assistant, not her. Those who call her personal phone are definitely acquaintances with her contact information.

However, the other party clearly did not give up. After being knocked down by Zhao Xiaogu twice, they broke in a third time, which puzzled Zhao Xiaogu.

Seeing this, Chen Qing said to Zhao Xiaogu, "Xiaogu, answer the phone first! Don't say anything, just listen to what the other person says. Maybe some friend has something urgent to tell you!"

Following Chen Qing's instructions, Zhao Xiaogu answered the phone and turned on speakerphone, waiting for the other party to speak.

The person on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief when the call was finally connected. It wasn't easy for them to find out Zhao Xiaogu's phone number; they had to ask several people before they finally got it.

"Hello, Ms. Zhao Xiaogu, we are from the Chinese Musicians Association." To prevent being hung up again, she introduced herself and her group directly after the call connected.

"Ah! Hello, teachers."

Zhao Xiaogu was surprised to find that the caller was from the Musicians Association; they had initially thought it was a spam call! Luckily, she answered the phone.

"Hello, it's like this, we'd like to speak with your husband, Mr. Chen Qing, for a few minutes, but none of us have his number, so we had to ask someone else for yours. Is Mr. Chen Qing available now?" Chen Qing took the phone from Zhao Xiaogu's hand and walked out of the courtyard. He knew why they were calling him; they must have seen that he hadn't replied and called to inquire in person. Although he wasn't going, he still had to say the polite words of refusal.

Zhao Xiaogu and Ya Ya understood the purpose of the call, and seeing Chen Qing go out to answer the phone, they went straight inside to rest without waiting.

"After the show finishes filming, will you move here? Or will you settle down in Shanghai or another city?" Ya Ya asked Zhao Xiao Gu while sipping her tea.

“They will move here. Judging from what Brother Chen said, he won’t be going out for the next few years. He’ll probably wait until the child is a little older and goes to kindergarten.”

Zhao Xiaogu didn't care about Chen Qing's idea. On the contrary, she even supported Chen Qing's decision. She wanted to live a quiet life in the entertainment industry, which was so turbulent every day. However, if they had a child, she would have to consider the child's future.

The couple has the means to provide their child with a better education; they would even send their child to a good school if it's just kindergarten. Manyuan Village clearly doesn't meet their requirements, so they will definitely have to leave the village and settle in another city eventually.

"That's good. The environment here is really nice. When conditions allow in the future, I would like to find a place like this to retire. Our circle is too complicated."

Ya Ya naturally shares Zhao Xiaogu's feelings. In the beginning, she was repeatedly approached by investors, whether explicitly or implicitly. Although she refused, the opportunities were blocked. Her success today is due to luck, in addition to her abilities. Even now, some investors still hint at her intentions.

She felt disgusted by this, but what could an artist like her do about these capitalists? She could only carefully protect herself from being taken advantage of. Thinking about this, Ya Ya inexplicably began to envy Zhao Xiaogu.

Although Chen Qing isn't very famous yet, even so, the capitalists don't dare to hint at Zhao Xiaogu now, let alone in the future. She's definitely someone all capitalists are vying to curry favor with.

Zhao Xiaogu empathized with Ya Ya's lament and comforted her, "Ya Ya, don't lament anymore. Things will get better. You are Little Snowball's godmother. Once this news gets out, I think those people will restrain themselves a bit."

Upon hearing this, Ya Ya smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I, as the godmother, would be taken care of even before Little Snowball is born. It seems that I'll have to give Little Snowball a big red envelope when he is born."

"Of course! Otherwise, do you think being a godmother is so easy!"

After finishing the phone call, Chen Qing pushed open the door and walked over to the two girls laughing and joking under the shed. He asked, "What are you two chatting about so happily? Are you talking about Little Snowball again?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Xiaogu smiled as she took the phone from the man, then asked, "How's Brother Chen? Did they call to ask you to go to Beijing for the certification exam?"

"Okay! But I declined. I'll go when I have time later! It's too much of a waste of time to make a special trip, there's no need for that." Chen Qing nodded in response to Zhao Xiaogu.
