Chapter 204 Parent-Child Gathering
Ji Yan will be back for two weeks this time. His TV series "Star Shadow" will be broadcast soon, so he needs to prepare some promotional work.
Then there will be a fan meeting in two months.
Originally, Lu Yuzhu's parents planned to go back after the New Year, but Gu Ai insisted that they stay and play for a few more days, so the Ning residence has been lively these past few days.
Knowing that Ji Yan had returned, Fang Nan and the others invited everyone out for a get-together. Now, looking around, all of these good brothers were married except for Ji Yan.
Fang Nan and Cheng Qi both have children, so they brought them along as well. Little Crescent Moon can now take a few steps with difficulty, which is a fun age for her.
Qiao Jiawei and Cheng Qi's child is a boy, nicknamed Shanshan. The name was chosen before the child was born because they didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl, so they came up with the nickname first.
This looks more like a family gathering.
"Next, An Yuan, you'd better keep up the good work! Maybe next year our Little Crescent and Shan Shan will have a younger brother or sister," Fang Nan joked.
Little Crescent Moon always looks at people with curiosity, staring at them for a few moments before reaching out her chubby little hand to touch them. She probably rarely sees children younger than her, and she even brings her little face very close, her drool almost dripping onto her shiny face.
Since Shan Shan couldn't speak, she could only babble in protest, which made everyone laugh uncontrollably.
Ning Anyuan shook Lu Yuzhu's hand and then smiled, "We'll try our best."
Hearing that Ren Qing wanted to open a clothing store after graduation, Fang Nan naturally gave her strong support and even found professionals to help her create a brand.
Although Fang Nan's family is wealthy and there are plenty of people to take care of the child, Fang Nan dotes on Xiao Yueya. Contrary to what many outsiders speculate, Fang Nan's feelings for Ren Qing are not just a passing fancy, and he will eventually grow tired of Ren Qing and also dislike Xiao Yueya.
However, Fang Nan was quite the opposite. He did seem to be the most unreliable one among them, but since getting married, he had become more and more manly.
While Lu Yuzhu and the others were playing with Shanshan, Qiao Jiawei ran over and poked Xiaoyueya's little face: "So cute, I wish I had a daughter too."
Ren Qing said with a smile, "You and Cheng Qi are so young, why not try to have another baby girl?"
Qiao Jiawei waved her hand and sighed softly, "This one, Shanshan, is already a headache enough. We're thinking of having a second child when he's a bit older. Aqi and I both want another daughter, but we're afraid it'll be another son."
“Ayan, you’re the busiest of us right now. We only see each other a few times a year, and you’re always missing from our gatherings,” Fang Nan said while feeding Xiaoyueya grapes.
Ji Yan put down his teacup and replied, "I've indeed been too busy these past two years, but I'm already considering retiring from the entertainment industry. I should be able to retire in about three years."
Upon hearing this, everyone present except Ning Yi looked at Ji Yan in surprise.
"Really? You're willing to give it up? You're doing so well now, are you really willing to retire?" Fang Nan was the first to exclaim in shock.
Cheng Qi also said to Ji Yan, "Are you planning to take over the company? Can your fans handle it?"
Personally, Ning Anyuan actually hoped that Ji Yan would retire from the entertainment industry. If it were just out of brotherhood, he would naturally try to persuade him, since Ji Yan entered the entertainment industry because he loved music and has now achieved such great success. It would be a pity for him to retire like this.
However, Ji Yan has been the hardest to get an appointment with among them in the past two years. The most important thing is that Ning Yi is now with Ji Yan and they might get married in a year or two. Ning Anyuan naturally doesn't want his sister to have difficulty seeing her husband in the future.
If Ning Yi wanted to marry someone from the entertainment industry and that person wasn't Ji Yan, Ning Anyuan would definitely be the first to object.
Ji Yan said calmly, "There will be a day when I retire from the entertainment industry. My family and company do need me, Xiao Yi needs me, don't you all need me?"
The group exchanged glances, and Fang Nan scoffed.
“Okay, okay, we’ll definitely support your ideas,” Fang Nan said.
……
Everyone chatted for an afternoon, and in the end, they all went home to take care of their own children.
Ning Yi and Ji Yan were both bundled up very tightly. Sure enough, it's the hardest time to be recognized when you go for a walk in winter, because everyone is dressed very warmly.
“We haven’t been to the sea in so long,” Ji Yan said as they walked, holding Ning Yi’s hand.
Ning Yi nodded: "Yes, I confessed my feelings to you at the beach back then, and we haven't gone to see the beach together since."
Ji Yan suddenly stopped. Ning Yi looked at him with some confusion. He reached out and helped Ning Yi straighten her messy scarf, then looked down at her directly.
“Then let’s go see the sea again this year when the weather gets warmer,” he said, his voice soft and gentle.
Ning Yi smiled at him and nodded: "Okay."
They continued their stroll hand in hand when suddenly a sweet fragrance wafted through the air, and Ningyi couldn't help but exclaim, "It smells so good!"
There was a small shop selling roasted sweet potatoes not far away, and the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes was coming from there.
“Roasted sweet potatoes are perfect for winter, let’s go buy some and try them,” Ji Yan said, leading Ning Yi to the roasted sweet potato shop.
They chose a large one so they could share. Ji Yan peeled it and cut it in half. He scooped up a spoonful of sweet potato, blew on it gently, and held it to Ning Yi's lips: "Try it."
Ning Yi ate the spoonful of sweet potato and nodded repeatedly: "It's so sweet and fragrant, you should try some too, I'll help myself."
The two walked side by side, eating roasted sweet potatoes as they went. Ning Yi couldn't help but sigh, "This kind of life is so pleasant. Winter doesn't feel so cold anymore."
The two of them went to Ji Yan's house. He hadn't seen Fu Tuan for many days. Ever since An Hui decided to stay in the neighboring city for a long time, Fu Tuan had been the one they had been raising.
In the past, Ji Yan would occasionally take Fu Tuan with him when he went to attend events or other events, or he would ask someone to help take care of and raise it. Now he is getting busier and busier, but fortunately An Hui and the others really want to raise Fu Tuan.
Fu Tuan still remembered Ji Yan. As soon as it arrived, it kept pawing at his leg and wagging its tail. Ji Yan picked Fu Tuan up and patted its head: "Last time you were so chubby, but now you've gotten lighter."
Ning Yi also came over and patted Fu Tuan, saying, "Fu Tuan was sick a while ago and didn't eat or drink much. After that, his appetite was also poor, so he naturally lost a lot of weight."
"It seems it still misses you."
