Chapter 50 – A Black-Bellied Boss Who Gets to the Bottom of Things

Within a month of its broadcast, “Dynasty” achieved unprecedented success, breaking the local TV station’s record high. The public’s attention on Xiao Fang grew, and the other two actors in the drama also saw their fame rise. The three of them had truly made their debut in the public eye.

For a drama to be good, it must hit the right spots for audiences of different stages: the thrill, the humor, the sweetness, and the sourness. A very comical thing happened, which was the emergence of several major couple pairing disputes. Thanks to Zhang Xing’s skill in creating buzz, a portion of the audience naturally started to ship Xiao Fang and Zhang Xing.

[Sob, the Crown Prince and the Prince are just too shippable! A smiling-but-deadly Crown Prince seme * a brother-con little puppy dog uke]

[The person above is painting such a vivid picture, it’s super sweet when you imagine it~]

[Why can’t it be a little wolf dog loyal seme * a cold and calculating uke? The super loyal little wolf dog prince listens to everything his brother says, reclaims territory for his brother, but his heart is always with his brother. Finally, he gets drunk at a celebration banquet and then pins his brother down. In bed, he’s fierce; out of bed, he’s a crybaby. The Crown Prince can’t get rid of him for a lifetime, but he also can’t bear to, hehe~]

[Don’t say anymore, person above, I’m about to believe it’s real!]

[Roar, give me a dozen of this kind of plot!!! I love it so much!]

… …

Seeing the hot comment above, if the main character wasn’t himself, Xiao Fang would probably have become a fan too. Now at home, he avoided looking at this topic as much as possible because Fei Xiangnan’s face was really not looking good. His own spouse being shipped with someone else… Xiao Fang very tactfully rejected his colleague’s suggestion to stir up the ship and give out candy, and he didn’t reply to a single one of Zhang Xing’s Weibo posts, acting as if he were invisible.

The other two ships were the Princess and the Prince, and the Princess and the Crown Prince. This was a relatively normal faction and also the two groups that argued the most fiercely. The dispute over who the female lead belongs to has never stopped. Xiao Fang wasn’t worried at all. In his partner’s words, given his own “bent” preferences, there was no need to doubt this at all. He was truly very, very understanding of Xiao Fang. Indeed, Xiao Fang had always been unable to extricate himself from Fei Xiangnan’s beauty. It was a good thing Fei Xiangnan wasn’t a person who liked to show his face, otherwise that face, coupled with Fei Xiangnan’s abilities and family background, would definitely stir up a storm of jealous people online. His number of fans would definitely not be less than a B-list star.

However, Xiao Fang didn’t like his partner showing his face in public. His little handsome man was for his eyes only! Hehe~

Xiao Fang was now more than six months pregnant, and the baby would be born in just over three months. Xiao Fang was getting lazier and lazier, either lying in bed, or sunbathing on the rooftop lounge chair in the morning and evening, or taking a nap in bed. Fei Xiangnan didn’t dare to let him go to the kitchen anymore and promoted the nanny to full-time service, taking care of Xiao Fang’s three meals and daily life. Xiao Fang was now being raised by Fei Xiangnan like a little lazy pig.

After dinner, Xiao Fang took a shower and lay down in bed. Fei Xiangnan had recently taken on another project and was always leaving early and coming back late. This was simply torture for a couple in the honeymoon phase! To make up for his dissatisfaction, President Fei officially moved his office to the bedroom. In the quiet bedroom, the sound of games came from the bed, and the sound of typing on the keyboard came from the bedside.

“Play fewer games now, it’s not good for your eyes. Your body is more sensitive during pregnancy.” Fei Xiangnan didn’t even look over, reminding him while typing on the keyboard. Xiao Fang rolled his eyes helplessly. He was back to the demonic period of being controlled by President Fei. Whenever it reached this point, Fei Xiangnan would punctually remind him of this matter, rain or shine.

“Actually, you can go to the study to work. There’s too much noise in the bedroom, it will disturb you,” Xiao Fang said faintly. In fact, Xiao Fang just didn’t like to be controlled.

A line of light reflected off Fei Xiangnan’s glasses. “No need, this little noise won’t disturb me. Drink the milk on the table.” Fei the alarm clock reminded him again.

Xiao Fang sighed. He really disliked Father Fei. He turned over, picked up the milk, and chugged it down in one go. Then he pulled the blanket over himself, ready to sleep.

“Next time, drink the milk slowly. Drinking so fast is not good for your stomach,” Father Fei spoke again.

Xiao Fang buried his head in the blanket and said “oh.” Although it was a bit annoying, his heart was still warm. He checked his phone; it was almost eleven o’clock. Fei Xiangnan had to get up at around seven every morning, and he didn’t know if he had eaten lunch properly. In the days he had been with Fei Xiangnan, Xiao Fang had come to know his state when he was working. After half a minute, he poked his head out and reminded him:

“You should rest soon. You’ve been waking up at six-thirty sometimes. No matter how important work is, it’s not as important as your health, right?”

Fei Xiangnan looked at him with a smile in his eyes. “I know. You should be able to understand how I felt when I saw you acting in the rain now, right? Be good, I’ll go to sleep after I finish this last document.”

Xiao Fang hummed in agreement. Thinking about it from another perspective, if Fei Xiangnan had started caring about him back then, he would have felt quite bad, just like how he felt bad seeing him still working at this hour. He shifted his position, moving closer to Fei Xiangnan’s side of the bed to warm it up for him first, so that his hands and feet wouldn’t be cold every time he got in. Now that his belly was getting bigger, Fei Xiangnan wouldn’t get too close to him for safety reasons, so even his last bed-warming tool was gone. Thus, Xiao Fang’s last bit of rationality also began to turn wifely.

At this moment, his phone vibrated. Xiao Ma sent Xiao Fang a message at this hour.

[Brother Xiao, I forgot to tell you something. The boss was furious today because the ‘Warm Heat’ crew is rushing, and Wu Quanwu can’t produce an actor. Now the boss has given him a final seven-day deadline. If he can’t do it, he’ll have to pay the money and get lost.]

Xiao Fang raised his eyebrows. This was a matter of course. Wu Quanwu should have thought of the consequences when he did such a thing.

[Normal. But it’s already eleven o’clock. Why didn’t you message me earlier? Given your gossipy nature, you shouldn’t have delayed this long, right?] Xiao Fang revealed a little bit of his black-bellied side.

Xiao Ma on the other end didn’t reply for a long time. After about five minutes, Xiao Ma replied with an excuse that even a child wouldn’t believe.

[I met an old lady while crossing the road today. After helping her cross, I saw that her legs were not very good, so I accompanied her to the supermarket and even went home to cook for her. Am I very kind!]

The corner of Xiao Fang’s mouth twitched.

[An old lady with bad legs probably wouldn’t be crossing the road in the business district, right?]

Xiao Ma’s hair stood on end as he looked at his phone. How do you deal with a black-bellied boss who insists on getting to the bottom of things!!!!
