Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me-Chapter 262 : Custody Battle Over Song Yaya (2)

The fourth shooting period of the third season was particularly intense. It lasted longer than the other shooting periods, because this was the one shooting period where they had to film all the way down to the end of the war, culminating in Xie Jianyu’s death.

Weibo was flooded by mourning fans, who left messages on the drama’s official account page, begging it to skip Xie Jianyu’s death.

They couldn’t take it, they said.

They wanted Xie Jianyu to give birth safely and watch his babies grow up, they said.

Alas, this part remained non-negotiable. In fact, spurned by audience’s passion, Director Ma sought to craft a finale of such profound sorrow that it would etch itself into the viewers’ hearts, leaving an enduring mark of grief for days to no end.

As they proceeded through the shooting period, the babies arrived at Peak Point Shooting Studio.

The twin babies were selected out of estimatedly two hundred pairs of twins. The proud parents came prepared with a stack of name cards that they generously shared with every cast member, hoping to get more jobs lined up for their children before they even started talking and walking.

In his free time, Shen Jingwei was made to spend time with the babies, in the hope of familiarizing himself with the little ones to ensure a seamless filming progress.

At the same time, CNC Studio’s active social media team grasped the chance to capture photos of Xie Jianyu and Zhang Fengxi with the babies in anticipation of the third season.

When the pictures were taken, Yan Renzhong had just finished ironing out the last details of the custody agreement he had with Song Xiaoling through a phone call with Lawyer Hui.

He appeared rather tense, almost bordering on grief, really, that the enthusiastic social media team insisted on having him cry on the spot to express his grief over the loss of his wife.

It took Vice Director Qin’s express disapproval to stop them from going haywire with the photo session.

At the same time, their little argument granted Shen Jingwei and Yan Renzhong a brief respite to catch up on the latest news on each other’s side.

Yan Renzhong was dying to kiss Shen Jingwei’s lips, but even he was not that bold to do it in public.

So he forced himself to be content by looking at Shen Jingwei’s soft and luscious lips, dreaming about the nights they spent together, and when those beautiful lips were wrapped around his erect member...

"... Zhong."

"Yan Renzhong!"

Yan Renzhong blinked at Shen Jingwei several times. The latter was scowling at him.

"What the hell are you thinking about?"

Yan Renzhong grinned.

"Excuse me, my sweet Jingbao. I am mesmerized by the sight of you holding infants."

"..."

Shen Jingwei put one of the two babies in Yan Renzhong’s arms.

"Here, hold him. Maybe then you will learn to project some fatherly aura."

Yan Renzhong chuckled at Shen Jingwei. He then began playing with the baby in his arms.

"Hello," he cooed. "Aren’t you a cute little thing."

In response, the baby gurgled in an adorable manner.

"So what’s the situation with Xiaoling now?" Shen Jingwei asked in a low voice, his gaze flicking nervously at Vice Director Qin and the social media team across the room. "Does she take everything well?"

Yan Renzhong’s face darkened, his playful mood vanishing in a flash when Xiaoling’s name fell into the conversation.

"I haven’t had the time to sit down and negotiate the last details of the agreement with her. She doesn’t like my demands, but at this point I am leaving her no choice."

"I trust that you keep everything fair," Shen Jingwei remarked.

"All I can tell you is that if this were any other traditional custody battle between spouses, I would have won the moment I drag this case before the court.

To my understanding, I have been more than generous when handling this peaceful settlement."

Shen Jingwei nodded in apprehension.

"By the way, I haven’t had the chance to visit your house to thank your Mom and Dou Dou in person for their help in taking care of Yaya. Did they receive my care package?"

"Oh, yes," Shen Jingwei answered with a snicker. "Dou Dou said that you are more than welcome to send more."

These care packages were compiled from all free products Yan Renzhong received every week. The companies sent the products over to either curry his favor or to reward him for a job well done.

Some were part of the remuneration package he earned from his commercial roles.

These items might not mean much for Yan Renzhong, but they were nothing short of a pile of treasure for common folk like Shen Dou Dou. freewebnoveℓ.com

Yan Renzhong’s lips curved into a smile.

"Glad to hear that."

After the photo session ended, they left the building together, heading back to the next shooting set.

But when they arrived, a food truck stood in the middle of the shooting location, and everyone was lining up in front of the food truck to get some food and drinks.

When Yan Renzhong and Shen Jingwei drew nearer, Wen Guilin and Zhu Dongyi excitedly beckoned them over.

"There you are!" Wen Guilin exclaimed. "We have been looking everywhere for you two!"

"What is this about?" Shen Jingwei asked, a little puzzled.

"Ah."

Yan Renzhong held a hand over his eyes and squinted at the logo sprawled across the side of the truck.

"I think I know what this is."

"Correct," Wen Guilin grinned. "One of Yan Renzhong’s sponsors, a drink company he endorsed, heard about the intensive shooting period we are going through. In order to encourage everyone, it sent over this truck of food and drinks for everyone at Peak Point Shooting Studio to enjoy."

Shen Jingwei whistled.

"Now that’s a treat," he commented.

He then patted Yan Renzhong on the upper arm.

"Many thanks, Emperor Yan."

Wordlessly, Yan Renzhong reached out and pinched Shen Jingwei’s in the waist.

"Owwww!"

"Go rest under the shade," Yan Renzhong said with a smile. "I am going to bring you some refreshments."

The exhilarated cast and crew members thanked Yan Renzhong again and again when they caught sight of their benefactor.

Naturally, Emperor Yan, the hero of the day, did not need to stand in queue at all. He was ushered to the front of the line in an instant, ahead of everyone else.

Shen Jingwei was watching Yan Renzhong from afar when he received an urgent message from Shen Dou Dou.

"Big Brother, help!!!" She wrote. "Yaya is missing!"
