Meng took off her glasses and put them on. Then she glanced at Tang Wanwan, who was pretending to be serious, and ignored her.
She had been with her for almost two years. Although they had not been in contact for a few months, she still knew a little about her temperament.
She didn't want to be a star. She didn't want to have no privacy, no feelings, no problems in her life to be exposed to the media for the entertainment of the public.
Meng shivered at the thought of cyberviolence. She didn't have a husband like Young Master Shen, nor did she have Tang Wanwan's good luck. So, she might as well be an assistant! She shouldn't be overthinking things. It was better to nip it in the bud as soon as possible.
After filming today's scene, Tang Wanwan saw that it was still early, so she pulled Ms Ling and the others out for a meal.
They found a hotpot restaurant that was relatively popular online and went there in a grandiose car.
Tang Wanwan, dressed in casual clothes, with a hat on her head and a mask on her face, got out of the car. She deliberately lowered the brim of her hat and followed Ms Ling into the shop.
During dinner time, there were a lot of people who came to eat. In order not to be recognized, she asked for a private room and was led there by a waiter.
After entering the private room, Tang Wanwan sat in the corner. She took the waiter's menu and opened it. She asked them what they wanted to eat.
"Anything," Ms Ling said.
"I'll eat anything," Meng said.
"I'm not picky with food," Yang Fann said.
"Then I want a fish and mandarin duck pot, a cabbage, a potato, a... and a fried bun," Tang Wanwan said to the waiter beside her.
After ordering the dishes, the waiter took the menu and left the room. Tang Wanwan looked at the three of them, who were playing with their phones with their heads lowered, and did not have the strength to complain.
Soon, the waiter brought them tea and bowls and chopsticks.
Tang Wanwan asked them to pass her the teacups in front of them and pour tea for them.
Then, Tang Wanwan held the teacup and drank the fragrant tea while sending a message to Shen Lyi.
After waiting for almost half an hour, the hotpot finally arrived. The side dishes that she ordered were also served one after another. Tang Wanwan swallowed her saliva when she saw the golden fried Mantou.
The group of people had been eating hotpot for almost two hours. They were all bloated.
"It's still early. Let's take a walk together to digest our food," Tang Wanwan looked at them and suggested.
"Let's go!" Ms Ling said.
As she walked down the bustling street and looked at the pedestrians passing by, Tang Wanwan suddenly felt emotional.
Along the way, they stopped and bought a lot of things for Yang Fann to carry. In Ms Ling's words, "We are all girls, and you are the only man here. You have to do this kind of heavy work."
Yang Fann did not refute and directly acted as their laborer.
After going through three shops, Yang Fann's hands were filled with bags.
Most of the clothes Tang Wanwan bought were children's toys. Whenever she saw beautiful and cute clothes, she would go in and take a look. Then, in high spirits, she would buy several sets.
Ms Ling followed by the side. Seeing that she was buying more and more and had no intention of stopping, she quickly pulled her back and advised, "Alright, don't buy anymore. Kids grow up fast. If you buy so much, will he be able to finish wearing it? Don't waste it later. "
"That's right!" Tang Wanwan thought for a moment and said.
If she bought too much and couldn't wear it, it would indeed be a waste. Although her family was not short of money, she couldn't be so extravagant and wasteful.
In the end, Tang Wanwan stopped buying and took a taxi back to the hotel.
As soon as Tang Wanwan returned to the hotel, she received a call from Shen Lyi.
"Hello, Mr. Shen."
"Did you miss me?" Shen Lyi asked.
"Yes, I did, but I didn't," Tang Wanwan replied after two seconds of silence.
"Is that so?" There was a trace of unhappiness in Shen Lyi's voice.
"Mr. Shen, did you miss me?" Tang Wanwan pretended not to hear him. She sat on the bed, took off her shoes, and put on comfortable slippers.
"Yes, I really do, because I'm not like someone who says the wrong thing. I'm very honest," Shen Lyi said as he held Shen Muxi, who was drinking milk.
"How can that be? I'm the most honest person in the world, okay?" Tang Wanwan pouted and said unhappily.
"Then did Mrs Shen think about it or not?" Shen Lyi asked again.
"Yes, I did," Tang Wanwan quickly replied.
Shen Lyi was satisfied when he heard Tang Wanwan's answer. His originally gloomy face instantly brightened up.
Tang Wanwan changed her clothes and took out the things she had bought and placed them on the bed. She checked them one by one.
"Mr. Shen, have you gone to sleep?" Tang Wanwan asked.
"No," Shen Lyi looked at Shen Muxi, who was happily drinking from the milk bottle, and replied in a low voice.
"Then let's play a video. I miss him." After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Shen Lyi to agree.
Shen Lyi held the phone that he had hung up on. His expression was a little ugly. He looked at the video invitation that Tang Wanwan had sent him and picked it up.
"What should I do? Hurry up and let me take a look." After being separated for half a month, Tang Wanwan missed her very much. Although she often called home and received videos from Wu Yilan, she still missed her very much.
Shen Lyi held Shen Muxi in his arms and moved his phone further away so that she could see it.
"Hello, hello, hello. I'm Mom. Do you miss Mom?" Tang Wanwan looked at Shen Muxi, who was drinking milk in the video. The longing that was hidden in her heart suddenly exploded. Her eyes were sour, and tears welled up in her eyes. She greeted him with a smile.
Shen Muxi was being carried by Shen Lyi. His hands were tightly wrapped around a transparent, high-end milk bottle. He sucked on it as hard as he could. He stared at Tang Wanwan with his dark eyes and kicked his legs.
"Mom missed you so much." Tang Wanwan knew that he couldn't speak yet, so she didn't wait for him to react. She just stared at him and talked about how much she missed him.
Shen Lyi watched from the side and didn't say anything, but only he knew that his heart was aching.
"Look, this is the clothes that Mom just bought for you today," Tang Wanwan said as she picked up a set of baby clothes that was placed on the bed.
"This is a teddy bear doll."
"This is a flute."
"This is a remote-controlled flying car."
"Today, I bought a lot of things. If it wasn't for your Aunt Fang stopping me, I would have bought a lot of things for you. You have to be obedient at home and not be naughty, do you understand?" Tang Wanwan said as she held back her tears. She missed him so much.
Shen Lyi's heart ached when he saw Tang Wanwan like this.
"Next time, I'll take him to visit," Shen Lyi said.
"It's better not to. I'll come back when I have time! I don't want him to be exposed to the media and attacked. I just want to be happy and grow up healthy." Tang Wanwan shook her head and said that although she missed him a lot, she didn't want him to suffer Internet violence because of it. There were too many rumors about her.
She couldn't help but shiver at the sight of the scandals that had been exposed, the insults, boycotts, and curses directed at her and her family and friends.
The violence on the internet, the curses and curses from the flamers, she would bear it alone. Her child, just grow up happily and healthily like this!
Shen Lyi knew what Tang Wanwan was worried about. As a public figure, many of her actions would be casually misunderstood to attack her.
He knew that her worries were not unnecessary. paparazzi were everywhere. If she was not careful, she would be caught. At that time, the pressure on her would be even greater.
However, since he dared to say so, of course he would be prepared in advance.
He never fought an unprepared battle.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I will be back," Tang Wanwan said with a smile.
