I woke up to find I have a child - Chapter 57
It wasn’t correct to say that Ye Mingxin didn’t have any confidence in Han Feixu’s skills. Instead, it was simply because she had too much confidence in Nan Zhihan’s fortune-telling accuracy. She has known Nan Zhihan for a long time and has never seen her fortune telling be incorrect. Not even once.
If she had explained this line of thinking clearly and succinctly to Han Feixu, then perhaps Han Feixu wouldn’t be so offended. However, Ye Mingxin never had the habit of explaining herself. She was someone who has always believed that results spoke louder than words, regardless if the other party can digest the harsh reality at the moment.
Han Feixu simply stared at Ye Mingxin for three seconds and then stood up. She turned around, strode out the room and then slammed the door behind her.
Ye Mingxin naturally chased after her, leaving Yiyi and Yan Yuerong behind. The two people who were left behind looked at each other and both of them sighed at the same time.
Yan Yureong found this funny, “Little one, you have even learned how to sigh?”
Yiyi replied solemnly: “I am also human and humans sigh when they feel helpless.”
“Haha, so you’ve even learned what the word helpless means. So, tell Grandma, why are you feeling helpless?”
Yiyi blinked up at her with her big eyes, “Because Mommy is going to get lectured again.”
Her words were quite….accurate = =
In Yiyi’s world, when an adult’s tone is not good, most of the time it was because they were about to lecture or scold her. Furthermore, Han Feixu has never explained the meaning of “arguing” with Yiyi before, so the moment her Mama and Mommy raised their voices she thought they were about to start “lecturing” each other again.
Since her mother-in-law and her daughter were in the private room, Han Feixu had bottled her anger and chose to leave directly instead. However, the moment Ye Mingxin chased after her, she couldn’t bear it anymore and let her anger explode.
“Do you think I am an idiot or a mentally deficient person? You think that my schedule will definitely be free by then, is this your so-called confidence in my strength? In your eyes, do you think my strength is worse than the stinky feet of the men’s national soccer team??” (T/N: A poke at the Chinese’s men’s national soccer team that are infamously bad)
They were in an empty parking lot so Han Feixu’s words echoed quite loudly. Ye Mingxin wanted to sit in the car and talk, “If there’s a problem, let’s talk about it in the car and find a solution, okay?”
Han Feixu’s pushed away Ye Mingxin’s outstretched hands, “No! Why should I listen to you? Do you think I am your pet and will do whatever you ask me to do? Besides, what ‘solution’? I can’t see any problems, I can only see the fact that you don’t believe in me and that you are looking down on me!”
After saying this, Han Feixu quickly turned around and found their car. She slipped into the front seat and locked the door. Ye Mingxin was a step too slow and was locked out. She tapped on the window, but Han Feixu ignored her. Seeing Han Feixu ignore her, she walked to the back door and opened it.
As soon as she got on, she heard Han Feixu yell at Zhong Yuanyuan, “Lock all the doors and drive off now!…Didn’t I ask you to lock all the doors?!!”
When immortals fight, mortals suffer. Zhong Yuanyuan was extremely bewildered by Han Feixu’s vicious fury and she couldn’t just drive away after seeing Ye Mingxin standing outside. After all, Ye Mingxin is Han Feixu’s wife. If she just drove away, the first person they’ll find to settle accounts once the two of them made up again will be her.
The car had been on this entire time. Zhong Yuanyuan fidgeted in the driver’s seat, nervously tapping against the steering wheel, “This, uh, I’m feeling a little hungry. You two take your time and talk, I’m going to get some food.”
After speaking, she opened the door and ran away in a flash, running away faster than a rabbit.
And as she was running, she used her remote controlled keys to lock the door from the outside. This way, unless she comes back, neither Ye Mingxin nor Han Feixu will be able to get out.
Han Feixu: “…”
Sigh, public morals are degenerating with each passing day. Look, even her assistant doesn’t put her in her eyes anymore.
The rearview mirror reflected Han Feixu’s changing expressions. Ye Mingixn stayed silent and simply stood up and bent over. With one single step of her long legs, she was able to get into the driver’s seat.
As she got into the seat, Han Feixu tried to push her back, but she didn’t expect Ye Mingxin to be so nimble. Just as Han Feixu was about to touch her waist, the other party used the seat to push herself up and swing her waist high, almost to the height of the car’s roof. Meanwhile, one of her feet stepped on the armrest and she swung her body forward into the seat.
Her movements were comparable to that of a national-level dancer. She avoided Han Feixu’s death-bringing hands, and was able to dexterously deflect all of her attacks. Both feet left the ground and with a little roll, she landed into the driver’s seat.
In the passing of only one second, Han Feixu found herself face to face with Ye Mingxin again.
Han Feixu stayed silent for a moment, before turning towards the car door. She kept trying to open the door and escape this enclosed and quiet space. Ye Mingxin reminded her, “Unless you can remove the entire door, we won’t be able to get out.
Han Feixu’s movements stopped, and after two seconds, she turned her head back, and said fiercely to Ye Mingxin: “What do you care!!”
Ye Mingxin: “…..”
“Little Xu, please listen to me first. I was wrong, and I know where I was wrong.”
Han Feixu didn’t believe her at all, “Hah, really?”
Ye Mingxin was at a loss as she cleared her throat, “Yes, I know. What I just said may have been misunderstood by you. You think I’m indiscriminately saying you won’t win, and therefore your schedule will be free and that’s why I’m presenting a new script to you. You think this means I don’t recognize your acting skills and strength, right?”
Han Feixu didn’t say anything, but she didn’t get any more angry either. This was a good sign. Ye Mingxin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and continued, “You misunderstood me. I have never belittled your acting skills nor strength. I just think that your schedule might be empty around that time.”
Han Feixu: “…..”
Damn you, what difference is there between the two sentences?!
Seeing that she was about to run away again, Ye Mingxin quickly amended: “This variety show is like an exam and in an exam many unavoidable accidents may occur. For example you may perform abnormally, or for another example you just happened to encounter a problem you didn’t study for. Or the audience just happened to prefer another performer’s technique. All of this is possible.”
Well what she said made a lot of sense.
But Han Feixu was still about to explode from anger.
She sat up straight. If this was a kids’ cartoon, a small flame would be burning above her head and smoke would be coming out of her ears, “In the end, aren’t you still saying that I am not good enough? You are my wife, shouldn’t you always support me unconditionally? The next round hasn’t even started yet, but you’re the one who has landed the first blow. Tell me the truth, have you been bribed by another competitor or something? Unless you have agreed to be someone’s secret spy, I just can’t figure out why you keep pouring cold water over me!”
Ye Mingxin was starting to get anxious, “How could I be someone else’s spy, I am supporting you unconditionally!”
Han Feixu let out an exaggerated syllable, “Ooooh~….I see, it must be me who’s blind because I didn’t see any of that at all!”
Arguing with Han Feixu is the most unbearable pain in the world to Ye Mingxin. Every time they fight, the heart feels like it is being tightly grasped by the other’s fist, and she can only watch, powerless and anxious. She wants to make the situation better, but the more she talks the more it escalates until the conversation completely collapses.
“I’m the blind one, okay?! In my eyes, you’re like an immortal fairy, an angel, and a goddess! If you shed even a single hair I’ll exchange a bar of gold for it! If you wanted to compete with Yao Ming in height, I’ll still say you’re the tallest with my eyes wide open! I don’t believe you? I look down on you? Very well then, let me make an analogy. If you’re only 0 meters above sea level in my heart, then everyone else in this world is below you, so below that they are at the bottom of the Mariana Trench!” (T/N: Yao Ming was a famous basketball player at 7’6 in height (go watch his games!) and the Mariana Trench is the deepest oceanic trench on Earth at -36,069.6 feet below sea level)
After saying these words, Ye Mingxin’s head started spinning. She was beyond angry at this point, and her blood pressure had risen too high and too fast as a result.
Han Feixu didn’t speak for a long time and Ye Mingxin thought she was digesting her words. So she closed her eyes and tried to calm down. Then she heard Han Feixu ask, “Where is the Mariana Trench?”
Ye Mingxin: “….”
She felt like vomiting blood.
“Is the location of the Mariana Trench the point here?” Ye Mingxin asked with a mouthful of blood.
Han Feixu played with her hands, twisting them back and forth as she lowered her voice and said, “If you think so highly of me and recognize my strength, then why did you say all that stuff about my schedule definitely being free?”
Ye Mingxin stayed silent and then said, “I may be a little superstitious.”
Seeing Han Feixu’s incredulous expression, Ye Mingxin leaned towards her, “It’s because you’re so amazing in my heart that in my opinion it’s okay if you don’t win this opportunity. Furthermore, I didn’t think this movie was very good from the very beginning. Only masterpieces that will be handed down from generation to generation like a family heirloom can be worthy of your skills. Not something like this movie where people will completely forget about it a little while after it’s been aired.”
“From the very beginning, I never thought you’d lose. However, after Nan Zhihan said you wouldn’t win, my first thought was that an accident will occur. Some unpredictable act of God that we won’t be able to prevent. You should know accidents are something we cannot change or counteract. It boils down to a matter of luck and has nothing to do with skill. The first ten episodes of the show have already proved how strong your skills are. You do not need me to confirm something so obvious.”
The expression on Han Feixu’s face improved by quite a few degrees. She was finally looking not so terrifying. She lowered her head, her eyes quietly turning towards Ye Mingxin, “But I still want to win.”
“Of course you can win,” Ye Mingxin replied softly, “but that’s on the assumption that there are no accidents. Little Xu, I’m not trying to discourage you. I just want you to know that this is all just a little contest in the end. It is nothing in the grand scheme of things. With your strength and my financial capital and team, you will always be surrounded by only the best opportunities in this life. You are already on a different level than the others. You like acting because you genuinely like it and not because of the money, right?”
Han Feixu raised her head and gave her a look, “Well I like them both.”
“…”
Ye Mingxin smiled slightly, “That’s good too. Then I’ll have to ask you to support me in the future. You can earn a lot of money and then Yiyi and I can spend that money for you, what do you think?”
She liked this idea very much. She let herself imagine a scene of Ye Mignxin and Yiyi asking her for pocket money and she domineeringly pulling out a golden card from her wallet. The corners of her mouth couldn’t help but raise upwards.
Seeing her smile, Ye Mingxin finally let herself relax completely. She looked over at Han Feixu, “You’re not mad anymore?”
Han Feixu reluctantly nodded, “For the sake of your sincerity, I’ll let you go just this once.”
Ye Mingxin smiled, “Thank you for your great mercy, my lady. Are you still hungry? I saw that you didn’t eat much when you left just now. Why don’t we get a meal at another restaurant?”
Hearing her say this, Han Feixu really was feeling a little hungry, “Then find a restaurant near the theater, we don’t have much time left before we have to return.”
Ye Mingxin pulled up the GPS, and set up the route. She turned her head to find Han Feixu also staring intently at the GPS. Ye Mignxin leaned over and gave her a quick peck on the lips. She returned to her seat and said, “I’m hungry too, but let me have a little appetizer first.”
Han Feixu blushed a bright red, “…..Pervert.”
Ye Mingxin smiled again and started the car before driving the car straight out of the parking lot.
Both of them were busy thinking about where to eat when Han Feixu suddenly raised her head, “Did we seem to forget something?”
Ye Mingxin pondered over her question for a little while, “No, I don’t think so. If you mean Yiyi, don’t worry, Mom will explain everything to her and I’ll call her later to tell her we’re fine.”
“Oh.” Han Feixu lowered her head and focused on searching for a restaurant.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhong Yuyuan who had just returned to the parking garage after buying her food: “….”
She really can’t do this job anymore.
Resign, she must resign! (?? ?)?????
