Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 310: My Leading Lady

Yu Xia watched the little girl who got tired from walking sit down by her feet.

She seemed to grow comfortable, leaning her head against Yu Xia’s calf after sitting down, biting into a tomato and looking at her expectantly while calling out, "Noodles~"

Yu Xia thought it was amusing, mimicking her with a pinched voice, "You want to eat noodles?"

Xie Qingci gave her a peculiar glance.

The little girl nodded and then looked towards the man behind her, "Noodles~"

The man shook his head, "Xixi can’t eat other people’s noodles, your mom will smack you."

Yu Xia: "..." Is it really okay to scare a child so bluntly?

The girl named Xixi instantly pouted, and tears started to well up.

"Alright, you can eat noodles, have your dad cook them for you." Sure sounds like someone with no principles.

But Xixi couldn’t stop her tears, which kept swirling around in her eyes.

Yu Xia couldn’t help but glance twice, surprised to find that she truly resembled those anime GIFs of teary-eyed kids, all cute and appealing, making people want to dote on her.

Back when young Yu Yue was just a toddler, he was this cute too.

Her gaze was curious, but she had no intention of comforting the child. Xixi looked her in the eyes, the tears gone, and tilted her head to take another bite of tomato.

The man behind her called upstairs, "Xixi wants to eat someone else’s noodles!"

Immediately, a loud roar came from upstairs, "Cheng Xixi! Bring your tomatoes up to me!"

Wow, who knew it wasn’t just a scare tactic?

Upon hearing it, Xixi hastily got up, trotting with her little legs, thumping as she ran back.

"Mama, Daddy, noodles~"

Not even half a minute later, her father came down, picked up Xixi, and actually planned to make noodles.

The woman upstairs probably guessed it, shouted again, "Don’t cook her noodles, she won’t eat dinner and just waits for you to make extra!"

She said it while running downstairs, making thumping sounds identical to little Xixi.

The handsome man holding the child had no choice, stopping to tell the child, "Dad got scolded by Mom, so we won’t eat noodles, okay?"

What a cute family.

And honestly, Cheng Zhirang’s looks are exceedingly high, making her unable to resist taking a few extra glances.

Yu Xia was eating while watching them, and when she looked back to pick up some food, her chopsticks were intercepted, which made her look at the person beside her.

"What’s up?"

Xie Qingci smiled at her, "Who are you staring at, sister?"

"Watching the kids," she picked up some food, ate it, then muttered to herself, "This dish doesn’t even have vinegar, why does it have such a sour taste?"

"Maybe because I look sour."

Yu Xia: "..."

Xie Qingci’s gaze fell in disappointment: "Yes, I’m not as good-looking as others, so I can’t hope for your attention."

"... Of course not," Yu Xia felt goosebumps rising, and she moved closer to him with a laugh, "You’re the best looking, incredibly handsome, the most good-looking in the whole world in my heart! Others are others; I only witness your beauty!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Xie Qingci looked at her vacantly, "Really?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

On the stairs over there, the child’s mom had already run down, thumping again, drawing her attention away.

"Cheng Xixi, do you want noodles?"

"Xixi wants, noodles~"

"Then do you want a spanking?"

"... Xixi no spank, wuwuwuwu daddy~"

"That’s okay, then I will spank your dad."

This family of three is really amusing, so much so that Yu Xia kept laughing while watching them, and her attention was diverted, causing the noodles in her mouth to accidentally slurp loudly.

Little Xixi, who was being aggrieved, uncontrollably turned her head, lying on her dad’s shoulder looking at her, then looked at her now-empty bowl.

"Wuwuwuwu noodles!"

Her crying came unexpectedly, startling Yu Xia into blinking. Kids are a troublesome species, especially when they start crying, making adults want to hide like in a heavy thunderstorm.

Afterwards, the child’s mom specially came to apologize.

Though Yu Xia felt it was unnecessary to apologize, and this celebrity’s wife didn’t seem to be here to apologize at all.

She was here for someone.

That gaze, as if it was using something invisible and intangible to trace them inch by inch, finally settling on their faces, showing a look of astonishment.

Like it’s saying "Is this the legendary Entertainment World version of the domineering little brother falling for me."

Yu Xia felt awkward by her own imagination, sighed, and interrupted the other’s gaze on Xie Qingci.

But before she could say anything, movie star Cheng Yiding, who had managed to pacify little Xixi, came over directly to pull his wife away. She could vaguely hear their conversation.

"Is he really handsome?"

"I’m purely appreciating, not being quick to switch partners, don’t overthink."

"You should appreciate me more."

"I do appreciate, but my new book’s male lead isn’t of your type anymore, he’s that cool, flamboyant kind..."

"Then he must have a bright and beautiful female lead. Shouldn’t my female lead be comforting the child?"

"Wah."

Xie Qingci chuckled lightly, leaned over to Yu Xia, and said, "Sister is right, they are a very interesting family."

Yu Xia glanced at him.

He continued, "Indeed, I have a bright and beautiful female lead, and now the female lead is going to kiss me."

"... Shameless." She spat at him coolly, then quickly gave him a peck, lifting her chin.

Xie Qingci’s lips curved with a smile, his voice softened, "I’ll dry your hair."

It’s already past seven; the sky outside turned dark, all the sheer windows in the guesthouse closed, and the lights were bright.

Yu Xia sat beside sorting through things in her backpack after drying her hair. They traveled on an arduous path, with high temperatures over time, and some of the food was no longer edible, so she had to throw them away and replace them with fresh foods.

As for how to get fresh food, of course, it’s by spending money.

The center of the living room was Shu Ran and their activity area, but she didn’t join the bustle, just staying in the corner. Right when Xie Qingci finished freshening up, he came out, drying his hair with one hand, and squatted in front of her.

"Counting money again?" Those few bills have already been worn out by her handling.

Yu Xia sighed, "Poor me, can’t even buy some food, what can you buy with such little money."

Really feel a sense of all woes for the impoverished couple.

Xie Qingci hung the towel around his neck, reached out to grab a coat from the backpack.

The backpack was right behind Yu Xia, so his movement was like he was about to pounce, surrounding her with the scent of shower gel and the heat yet to dissipate.

She shifted her head aside slightly, feeling as though the exposed skin on her left shoulder and neck had absorbed a touch of hotness.

"What are you dodging?" Xie Qingci raised an eyebrow and asked.

Yu Xia flicked her hair, "Qingci brother’s charm is too great, the shining brilliance about to burn me, so shouldn’t I dodge?"

"It’s okay, no matter how great the charm, it’s just yours," he lazily said sweetly, picking up the coat and continued, "I’ll take the clothes to wash."

He stood up, walked a couple of steps, seemed to remember something, squatted again, kneeled on one knee, and leaned closer to her, closer.

She leaned her head back looking at him, "What are you doing?"

"Sister, I have a wound on my chest, it hurt so much while showering, what do you say about that?"

Yu Xia: Ahh, the male fox spirit has spoken!
