Best friend turned enemy? Marrying the villain, if she runs, I'll run too.

Baoxin had originally run up happily.

She had even lifted StellaLou, whom she had been holding in her arms, to give her to her long-awaited sister.

But to her surprise, the word "boy" instantly wiped the smile off her face.

Then he plopped down on the ground, crying, wailing, and throwing a tantrum, demanding his sister.

When Meng Tang saw Li Su come out, she forgot about Bao Xin and stepped forward to check on her.

Song Guanting found it both amusing and helpless. He picked up Baoxin, wiping away her tears and comforting her.

"Baby, whether it's a younger brother or a younger sister, they both came from your stepmother's tummy. You have to like them both, otherwise your stepmother will be sad if she hears it, understand?"

Bao Xin cried and hiccuped in Song Guanting's arms: "Ke Su, Ke Su, little mother, fourth sister, no, fourth brother, waaaah."

"Your stepmother only said she would try to have a little sister, but whether it's a brother or a sister, it's beyond her control. This issue of gender still depends on your stepfather's ability. This shows that your stepfather is too incompetent."

To appease his daughter, Song Guanting didn't hesitate to pin the blame on Fu Jishu.

Since the child was born, Fu Jishu only glanced at him briefly; all his attention was on Li Su.

Even after confirming that Li Su was alright, Meng Tang noticed that Fu Jishu's eyes were red, as if he had been crying for quite some time.

"Tangtang, you don't know, when we were in the delivery room, before I even cried, Fu Jishu started crying non-stop, and I didn't know whether to cry or laugh."

After regaining some strength, Li Su and Meng Tang started joking around.

Fu Jishu, however, was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he said in a serious tone, "It's all this brat's fault. He's been bothering you, Su Su, for so long. I'm going to give him a good spanking later."

Li Su found it both funny and helpless. "Let me hold the child. I haven't really seen him much yet."

Fu Jishu first placed a pillow behind Li Su to make her more comfortable before taking the baby out of the cradle.

Although this baby is only a newborn, it is fair and tender, unlike many babies who are wrinkled at birth.

Moreover, the contours of his eyebrows show a striking resemblance to Li Su.

Meng Tang laughed and said, "They say sons resemble their mothers, and that's definitely true. Our little darling will definitely grow up to be a handsome guy who's loved by countless girls."

Fu Jishu also agreed: "He looks like Su Su. When I discipline him in the future, I'll be able to hit him less because of his face."

Li Su glared at him, annoyed.

At that moment, Li Su noticed a small figure out of the corner of her eye, lurking around the bed like a dog.

"Does Xin Xin want to see her little brother?"

Baoxin puffed out her cheeks and turned her head to the side, saying, "My little brother is naughty; he pushed Baoxin's little sister away."

The little guy firmly believes that Li Su was initially pregnant with a little sister, but the little sister couldn't compete with the little brother and was replaced by him.

Everyone was amused by the child's innocent words.

Song Guanting picked her up so she could get a good look at the child's face.

“Bao Xin, look closely. Actually, your little brother is also very handsome. Does Bao Xin really not like your little brother?”

Bao Xin pouted, "Then I'll just take a look."

At first glance, it's quite pretty.

Upon closer inspection, Bao Xin exclaimed, "My little brother is blowing bubbles!"

The child, who had been keeping a serious expression on her face, staring at everyone around her with her big, round eyes, neither crying nor laughing, suddenly grinned and giggled when she saw Baoxin.

Li Su exclaimed in surprise, "Baby hadn't smiled at all just now. I thought he was just naturally averse to smiling. Turns out he likes Xin Xin. He smiled as soon as he saw Xin Xin."

"Xinxin, look, your little brother likes you so much. He only smiles when he sees you. Xinxin, would you like to give him the gift you prepared?"

Bao Xin thought about it very seriously, and finally generously handed over Xing Dailu.

"Baoxin Congee Little Brother".

Seeing that the little guy had finally accepted that his sister had become his brother and had stopped crying and throwing tantrums, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

To everyone's surprise, Baoxin then asked, "Can my little brother still be called Sweetheart?"

The name "Sweetheart" was chosen by her for her younger sister; she had thought about it for a very long time.

Li Su smiled and said, "Of course, Sweetheart will be my little brother's nickname from now on."

The baby who was forced to be called "sweetheart": You ask me if I'm happy.

Bao Xin was completely happy and kept looking at the child.

"Sweetheart, sweetheart, I'm your sister Si Ni, call me sister, call me sister."

Meng Tang, feeling both helpless and amused, reminded him, "Xin Xin, your little brother was just born and can't call you 'sister' yet. Can you teach him slowly later?"

Baoxin clenched her little fist with great confidence, declaring, "My little brother will definitely be the first to call me 'big sister'!"

Fu Jishu had already decided on names for the boy and girl, and after the child was born, Li Su would choose one herself.

Li Su and Meng Tang discussed it together and finally decided on a name.

"How about we name him Fu Tinglan? It means 'watching the sea and listening to the waves, rising with the wind.' What do you guys think?"

Since it was his wife's choice, Song Guanting and Fu Jishu naturally had no objections.

When Li Su finished her postpartum confinement, it happened to coincide with the Golden Rooster Awards at the end of the year.

Li Su was nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Rooster Awards for her role as the female lead in "Midsummer".

Meng Tang was nominated for Best Director for her role in the series.

In addition, the series was nominated for Best Television Series and Best Screenplay.

It's no exaggeration to say that, apart from the fact that the male lead is a foreign national and therefore ineligible for Best Actor, "Midsummer" is nominated for every other award it could be nominated for.

Meng Tang and Li Su attended the event in formal attire.

The two walked the red carpet with the entire cast of actors from the film.

The most eye-catching couple, of course, were Meng Tang and Li Su, who were holding hands.

They were already a hot topic, and with the announcement of their identity as the richest people in Jiangcheng at the press conference, they became the focus of attention for all the media.

The moment the two appeared, they instantly became the center of attention.

"Director Meng and Ms. Li, are you confident about winning the Golden Rooster Award this year?"

"Will President Song and President Fu be attending the awards ceremony to celebrate with you both?"

Li Su answered a few questions modestly and officially, then entered the venue with Meng Tang and sat down in their seats.

The two were seated next to each other. The awards ceremony was boring and long, but sitting together allowed them to chat about gossip, which helped pass the time.

In fact, Meng Tang and Li Su didn't care whether they won an award or not. This was their first work after their return, and they were already very lucky to be nominated.

"Next up is the Best Actress award. Let's congratulate Li Su, the versatile actress who can convincingly portray any role!"

The camera focused on Li Su, who was still a little dazed. Meng Tang happily gave her a hug.

"Why is Su Su still so dazed? Hurry up and go on stage to accept your first Best Actress award!"

Tears welled in Li Su's eyes. She nodded, lifted the hem of her skirt, and went on stage.

Under the spotlight, she delivered her acceptance speech: "I am very grateful to all the crew members of 'Summer', and even more grateful to the director, who is also my best friend, Director Meng Tang. Without her, I would not be standing here."

"Before coming to the ceremony, I joked with my husband at home that if I could just pick up any small trophy, I would give it to our son as a toy."

"But now, holding this heavy Golden Rooster trophy, I'm a little reluctant to part with it."

She dropped the bombshell news that she was married and had a child in a humorous tone.

Li Su gave birth

Li Su, Best Actress

The trending topics were almost entirely dominated by the drama "Midsummer".

"Next up is the Best Director Award. Let's congratulate Director Meng Tang for using her lens to portray the joys and sorrows of characters and breaking the stereotypes about female directors!"

The spotlight immediately fell on Meng Tang. When Meng Tang went on stage to receive the award, Li Su did not come down from the stage, but stood on the steps and reached out her hand to her.

As the two clasped hands, countless cameras snapped photos of them.

Century Friendship

Meng Tang, Li Su, Long Live Friendship

Although they are both married, this handshake moment made their fans, who ship them as a couple, celebrate like it was Chinese New Year.

"First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff of 'Midsummer' for their hard work and dedication. The success of 'Midsummer' today is inseparable from the hard work of everyone."

"Just now, backstage, I was worried that if Su Su won an award and I didn't bring back a trophy, Xin Xin would be unhappy. After all, if her brother has it, her sister should have it too."

Meng Tang and Li Su walked off the stage hand in hand, their humorous remarks making everyone in the audience laugh.

After the awards ceremony ended, the two had just come out when they unexpectedly saw two tall and slender figures.

"Tangtang, I've come to take you home."

"Susu, let's go home."

The two tycoons reached out their hands almost simultaneously. Under countless cameras, the two billionaires in suits seemed to be grasping the only light in their lives.

Two years later.

Bao Xin pulled Xiao Tinglan along, both of their little hands full of things, and the dog sneaked off to the audio-visual room on the basement floor.

As a regular customer, Baoxin easily turned on the projector and started playing Disney princess movies.

Then, with a few quick movements, he opened the bag and took out various styles of princess dresses and matching accessories.

Bao Xin first picked up a white princess dress, held it up to Xiao Tinglan, and shook her head in dissatisfaction.

I picked up another purple one, but I'm still not satisfied.

In the end, I chose a pink one and paired it with a crown in the same color scheme.

"Little brother, put it on first."

Xiao Tinglan obediently did as Baoxin said. Baoxin then opened the makeup bag, which was filled with lipsticks, blushes, eyeshadows and other cosmetics.

Bao Xin stole all of these from Meng Tang's jewelry box. She carefully selected suitable cosmetics and gave instructions to Xiao Tinglan.

"Raise your head a little higher, close your eyes, pucker your lips, and say 'Mmm, very good, excellent'."

Baoxin switched to the cartoon screen again, "Little brother, which hairstyle do you like?"

Xiao Tinglan blinked her big, watery eyes and chose a wavy hairstyle that looked fluffy. "This one."

Bao Xin was very satisfied: "My younger brother has just as good taste as I do."

Xiao Tinglan grinned happily when praised by her older sister.

The waves were a bit tricky to work with, but luckily Baoxin was well-equipped; she even brought a curling iron, though it was her first time using it.

It took a long time of fiddling before I could finally plug it in.

She recalled how Meng Tang usually used a curling iron and tried to replicate it on Xiao Tinglan's hair.

Xiao Tinglan's hair is a little longer than that of boys his age; it's already reached his neck.

This is Bao Xin saying to Xiao Tinglan: "Little brother, you have to grow your hair long like your sister, otherwise your sister won't play with you anymore."

So when Li Su wanted to cut Xiao Tinglan's hair, Xiao Tinglan cried and refused to have it cut.

Bao Xin painstakingly pulled out a curl of hair, wrapped it around the curling iron, and curled it.

The first time I let go, the curl wasn't very tight.

Bao Xin is very persistent and never gives up easily, so she tried again.

This time it will take a little longer.

While we were waiting, the animated film started.

Bao Xin started watching cartoons while fiddling with her curling iron.

As she watched, she forgot that she was still curling her younger brother's hair.

After a while, Baoxin twitched her nose.

"Little brother, can you smell something?"

Xiao Tinglan tilted her head, "What?"

"It's getting prickly, um, I'm a little hungry, are you hungry?"

Little Tinglan patted her belly and nodded, "Food, food."

Baoxin completely forgot about the curling iron and ran to open the potato chips. The two little ones sat side by side and ate potato chips.

"Sister, head, it's hot and it hurts."

Xiao Tinglan couldn't express herself fully yet, so she could only laboriously raise her little finger and point to her head.

Just as Bao Xin looked up, Meng Tang and the others came looking for her.

"Xinxin, Lanlan, are you two hiding in the media room watching movies again?"

Before Meng Tang could even see clearly, she heard loud screams coming from inside.

"Fire! Fire! My little brother's head is on fire!"

"Waaaaaah..."

Looking closely, Xiao Tinglan was running around screaming with flames on his head, while Baoxin was behind him, patting his head with a pillow in an attempt to put out the fire.

If there were no flames, this scene would be like playing whack-a-mole.

Before Meng Tang and the others could say anything, they rushed to put out the fire.

Fortunately, the flames were small, and only half of Xiao Tinglan's hair was singed, leaving her bald.

Because she had cried so hard, Xiao Tinglan's makeup was ruined.

Her eyeshadow and lipstick were mixed together, her crown was askew, and her princess dress was wet and dirty. She looked like a little princess in distress.

The little princess nestled in Li Su's arms, crying pitifully.

Meanwhile, Meng Tang was scolding Bao Xin.

“Song Baoxin, how many times have I told you? Your brother is a boy. You can’t dress him in a skirt, and you can’t put makeup or lipstick on him. You even secretly brought him to the media room.”

"You even stole a curling iron! Do you know how dangerous that thing is? It almost burned your brother's head off! Do you know you were wrong?"

Bao Xin stubbornly turned her face away and grumbled, "My little brother likes it, so I'm not wrong!"

Meng Tang was furious and took out a ruler to hit her little hand.

"Still talking back? Do you know you're wrong?"

"I am right!"

"How dare you talk back!"

Bao Xin stubbornly refused to give in, her eyes brimming with tears, yet she wouldn't let them fall.

When Xiao Tinglan saw her sister being hit, she stopped crying, got down from Li Su's arms, and ran over to protect her sister.

"No way, you can hit your sister!"

Bao Xin was deeply moved: "Little brother!"

Xiao Tinglan: "Sister!"

The two little ones hugged each other and started crying again.

When Song Guanting and Fu Jishu returned, they witnessed this comical scene.

"What's wrong with Tangtang? Why is she suddenly lecturing Baoxin again?"

Meng Tang threw down the ruler and said angrily, "Ask your precious daughter what she's been doing with Lanlan!"

With her father's protection, Bao Xin immediately felt confident.

"Dad, I'm trying to turn my little brother into a little princess, but there was a tiny mishap along the way."

Song Guanting found it both amusing and helpless, and could only patiently lecture her: "Baoxin, your little brother is a boy. Only girls can be called little princesses and wear little dresses. Your little brother can't dress up like that, understand?"

Baoxin shook her head firmly, "The younger brother is the younger sister who turned into him, so the younger brother and younger sister are the same. Besides, the younger brother likes little skirts, right?"

Xiao Tinglan nodded, looking confused.

Baoxin proudly puffed out her chest, as if to say, "See? I told you my little brother liked it."

Li Su patiently taught Xiao Tinglan: "Lanlan, you and your sister are different. You are a boy and your sister is a girl. You can't wear little skirts, understand?"

Xiao Tinglan pushed Li Su away and stomped her feet unhappily.

"Lanlan, the fourth little princess!"

Everyone: "..."

"Lanlan, take off your little skirt, Mommy will change your pants."

Baoxin rushed over and grabbed his little hand.

"Run, little brother! We'll defend the princess's dress to the death!"

"Run, duck!"
