I don't care about dating reality shows or the entertainment industry!

the following few days.

Ning Zhi wished she could present Su Youzi with the best things in the world.

From clothes and shoes to bags and jewelry, Ning Zhi wished she could bring the entire mall home.

Su Youzi was both amused and exasperated, yet she sweetly enjoyed this belated maternal love.

Besides being with Ning Zhi, Su Youzi was also busy with her new book publishing house.

I interviewed several assistants and saw the proofs of the new book.

I successfully passed the driving test (both Part 2 and Part 3).

Su Youzi auditioned for the female lead role in "Jianghu" and passed the casting call for the female lead, Ziyi.

This is a martial arts film about women from the martial arts world who step forward to become female generals and die heroically for their country in times of national crisis.

The film is currently in the pre-production stage, and training for the cast and crew is expected to begin in May.

Finally, "Lin Niangyu" is scheduled to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

As the main creators, she and Ning Zhi will travel all over the country for roadshows.

What about Duan Xingye?

He was absolutely furious.

"Honey, look at me, I'm still here." Duan Xingye pitifully clung to Su Youzi's arm, rubbing his face against hers. "My vacation will be over in half a month."

Su Youzi pushed him away, her face flushed, "What are you doing? We were together all night."

"That's not enough! Besides what we do in bed, I also want to go shopping, watch movies, and eat delicious food with you," Duan Xingye complained, sounding aggrieved.

Su Youzi cupped his face and kissed him.

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the competition with you after I'm done with my work."

Duan Xingye was barely satisfied, but he couldn't help but mutter, "Hmph, it's my turn to be busy with competition training."

-

Press.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on the sample book in Su Youzi's hands.

She checked it carefully, and found it impeccable from cover design to layout and printing.

"very satisfied."

She closed the sample book and gave a bright smile.

Liu Danying breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, it can be officially printed after the New Year. When do you plan to start publishing your new book?"

Su Youzi pondered for a moment, then gently tapped her fingers on the table.

"I've been reading a script recently, and I really like it."

"Filming?" Liu Danying was a little surprised. "You've married into a wealthy family, I thought you were going to retire from the entertainment industry."

Su Youzi put down the sample book in her hand and gently stroked the smooth cover with her fingertips.

"You know why I wanted to leave the industry back then. Without Liang Hong's exploitation, I discovered that I still love acting."

Her eyes lit up, sparkling with a passion for performing.

"I want to leave behind a few works."

Upon hearing this, Liu Danying let out a long sigh.

"I was hoping you could retire from the industry completely and write one more book a year."

She rested her chin on her hand, looking regretful.

"That way my bonus will be even higher."

Su Youzi laughed at her greedy look, "Don't go too far."

She smiled and tapped Liu Danying's forehead.

"I want to spend more time with my family."

Seeing her so happy, Liu Danying was very happy for her.

She shrugged and said deliberately, "Okay, okay, whatever makes you happy."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sun shone brightly, and the atmosphere was joyous.

The Duan family villa was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, exuding a strong festive atmosphere.

Unlike the quietness of previous years, the Duan family home was unusually lively this year.

in the kitchen.

Charlene was directing the servants to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy.

"Hey, cook that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall a little less heat, don't overcook it. Also, Yuzu likes sweet and sour pork ribs, so add more sugar."

In the living room, Grandpa Duan sat upright, glancing up at the clock on the wall every now and then.

The maid opened the door, and Ning Zhi, Chen Yan, and Xia Wei led Song Yi and Xue Lingmiao in.

"Happy New Year! Happy New Year!" A burst of lively greetings echoed throughout the living room.

Charlene beamed with joy, "Come on, come on, we've been waiting for you to start eating!"

Grandpa Duan sat in the main seat, looking remarkably energetic, and rarely showed such a hearty smile.

Looking at the table full of dishes and then at his family members who were arriving one after another, he sighed with emotion.

"Our family table hasn't been this lively in years."

"Yes, come sit down and eat," Xia Lin said, gesturing for everyone to take their seats.

The family sat around the dining table in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Grandpa Duan raised his glass and said, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and also the day that Youzi and Zhizhi's movie is released. I wish it great box office success, and I also wish everyone good health and all the best in the new year."

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses to wish each other a Happy New Year.

After the meal, Grandpa Duan took out the prepared red envelopes and distributed them one by one.

"Come on, one for each of you. Wishing you good health and all the best in the new year."

Duan Xingye also took out a red envelope, walked up to Song Yi and Xue Lingmiao, and grinned mischievously.

"Come on, the only two people here who aren't married."

Song Yi accepted the red envelope with a wry smile, saying helplessly, "Cousin, is this really necessary?"

He looked at Xue Lingmiao and said, "We also need to speed things up."

Xue Lingmiao blushed and gently pinched Song Yi.

"Don't worry about him," Su Youzi said with a smile, handing out red envelopes to them as well. "Enjoy your romance."

At 7 p.m., Duan Xingye followed Su Youzi and Ning Zhi to the movie theater.

After parting ways with my wife and mother-in-law at the movie theater entrance.

Duan Xingye pulled down the brim of his black baseball cap, wrapped his black coat tightly around himself, and almost disappeared into the crowd.

He deliberately avoided the bustling crowds and walked steadily toward the sofa in the corner of the movie theater.

He had just sat down on the sofa in the corner when a faint scent of perfume wafted over.

A sexy woman with exquisite makeup sat next to him, looking him over with great interest.

Although the man was bowing low, she could still sense that even without seeing his face, his proportions and demeanor made him an extremely handsome man!

She nudged someone next door with her elbow, and the person next door nodded at her repeatedly.

The sexy woman coughed softly and asked tentatively, "Are you alone?"

Duan Xingye replied calmly, "No."

His tone was cold, and he spoke sparingly.

The woman whispered something to her friend next to her, and then the two of them looked him over.

Duan Xingye frowned slightly, moved his body to the corner, and subtly raised his left hand slightly.

A silver ring gleamed on her ring finger.

The woman's pupils contracted sharply, her mind reeling.

With such a sexy voice and such long, slender fingers, he's definitely a top-tier handsome guy!

Unfortunately... he's already taken.

The two women smiled awkwardly.

"But, during the Chinese New Year, it feels a bit strange for a grown man to watch a movie with a strong female lead," the two whispered to each other.

"You two had a fight? Looking for a fling?" Another woman chuckled softly, nudged the sexy woman, and said, "An opportunity, perhaps."

"I heard this movie is very touching. I really like Su Youzi." The woman continued to strike up a conversation, trying to make conversation.

Duan Xingye slightly lifted his baseball cap and glanced at them.

The two women were dumbfounded.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah!
