SED Chapter 24: Xia Yue Studio

Because he was late picking up Yueyue, Liu Zixia felt guilty. So after they got home, he indulged Yueyue's every request.

As a result, Yueyue clung to Liu Zixia, asking him to tell her stories until 1 a.m. before finally going to bed.

The next day, when the sun cast its golden light over the horizon, Yueyue was still sound asleep in bed, much like the princess from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, sleeping deeply.

At seven o'clock, Liu Zixia tiptoed into Yueyue's room to prepare her clothes and school items for the day.

"Uh... Daddy, what are you doing?" 

Yueyue, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and wrinkled her cute little nose. "Oh no, it's already seven o'clock, and I need to go to school!"

Compared to other children her age, Yueyue knew a lot. She could read a clock, recognize many characters, and play the piano... People often say to give children a head start, and Yueyue was already miles ahead.

"Oh, our sleeping princess is finally awake. Daddy will help you get dressed." Liu Zixia walked over, pinched Yueyue's rosy cheek, and started helping her get dressed.

Still groggy from sleep, Yueyue allowed Liu Zixia to dress her lazily. "Daddy, will you take me to school today?"

Yesterday, Liu Zixia had a hard time convincing Yueyue to go to school and come back with Lang Menghan, and it seemed she was still thinking about it.

After tidying up Yueyue and putting her hair in a bun, Liu Zixia said, "Daddy will go with you today. From now on, you need to get along well with Menghan, okay?"

Lang Menghan was Lang Wenxing's second daughter, two months older than Yueyue.

"Okay, I'll be good." Yueyue nodded seriously, looking very cute.

Ding dong!

After Liu Zixia and Yueyue had finished washing up, the doorbell rang.

Liu Zixia opened the door to see Lang Wenxing standing there in a sharp suit, holding several bags with a little girl by his side.

"Brother Xing?" Liu Zixia was surprised. "Why are you here?"

Lang Wenxing laughed heartily, holding the bags and the little girl behind him. "Zixia, don't forget, I'm your agent now. So we need to start following the contract. Menghan and Yueyue go to the same kindergarten, so it's convenient to pick them up together."

Lang Wenxing's attitude made it clear he didn't trust Liu Zixia and feared he might back out.

Liu Zixia smiled wryly. "Brother Xing, isn't this a bit much? We haven't even signed the contract yet."

"What, are you thinking of backing out?" Lang Wenxing's eyes widened, revealing his authoritative aura. "Let me tell you, once you enter Wenxing Entertainment, there's no backing out!"

"Alright, consider me sold!" Liu Zixia shook his head, then looked at the little girl standing next to Lang Wenxing, her cheeks still slightly chubby. "Is this your daughter, Menghan? She's a pretty little girl!"

"Yes, I forgot to introduce her."

Lang Wenxing entered, placed the bags on the table, and pulled the little girl closer. "This is my daughter, Menghan. Menghan, say hello to Uncle Liu!"

The little girl was a bit shy, her fair cheeks turning red. She lowered her head and softly said, "Hello, Uncle Liu."

"Hello!" Liu Zixia smiled and called out, "Yueyue, come out and see who's here!"

"Who's here?"

Hearing her father's call, Yueyue ran out. When she saw Lang Menghan, her eyes lit up, and she was about to rush over.

But when she noticed Lang Wenxing in his suit standing next to Lang Menghan, she stopped abruptly, glancing between Lang Menghan and Lang Wenxing, as if weighing her options.

"Yueyue, what are you thinking?" Lang Wenxing chuckled at Yueyue's hesitation. "What, you don't recognize Uncle Lang after just one night?"

Yesterday, Lang Wenxing had given his driver the afternoon off and personally picked up Lang Menghan from kindergarten to meet Yueyue. He even coaxed Yueyue into calling him uncle.

Yueyue clutched her dress and softly said, "Hello, Uncle Lang."

"Hello!" Lang Wenxing was pleased and pointed to the bags on the table. "Yueyue, these are some treats and toys Uncle bought for you. If you want anything else, just tell Uncle, and I'll get it for you."

"Daddy, I want some too!" Menghan wasn't happy, tilting her head up to ask.

Lang Wenxing patted Menghan's head. "There's plenty for everyone."

Seeing the toys on the floor, Yueyue's eyes lit up. She looked up at Liu Zixia with hopeful eyes. "Daddy..."

"Thank Uncle Lang," Liu Zixia said, knowing it would make Yueyue happy. Given their future partnership, he saw no reason not to accept the gifts. "Thank you, Uncle Lang!"

Yueyue was delighted and hurried back to her room.

After a while, she returned with some papers. "Sister Meng, these are my friends that Daddy brought home. Look, this is the Ugly Duckling, and this is the Frilled Lizard..."

These cartoon drawings were Yueyue's treasures, rarely shown to others. Sharing them with Menghan showed her goodwill.

"Wow, such cute little ducklings!" Menghan's eyes sparkled as she leaned in to look.

"Hehe, I'll tell you the story of the Ugly Duckling later," Yueyue said, pulling Menghan to the side.

Watching the two children get along so well, Liu Zixia and Lang Wenxing exchanged smiles.

"Zixia, did you find a lawyer?" Lang Wenxing asked, pulling out a few baskets of crab roe soup dumplings and some cans of milk from the bags. "Menghan, Yueyue, come have breakfast. We'll go to school after eating."

Seeing how comfortable Lang Wenxing was in his home, Liu Zixia shook his head helplessly. This guy really made himself at home.

"No, I don't need a lawyer," Liu Zixia replied as he brought the chatting children to the table. "I trust you won't change the contract into a one-sided agreement."

It wasn't trust but confidence in his ability to spot contract traps, having read countless contracts in his previous life. Even if Wenxing Entertainment's legal team tried to slip in some tricks, he could catch them all, making it more trouble than it was worth for them.

Lang Wenxing, unaware of Liu Zixia's true intentions, was deeply moved by his apparent trust. "By the way, there's one more thing," Lang Wenxing continued after swallowing a dumpling. "Since we're establishing a studio, we need a name for the contract."

Liu Zixia thought for a moment. "Let's call it Xia Yue Studio."

"Xia Yue Studio?" Lang Wenxing was momentarily surprised, then glanced at Yueyue and nodded. "Alright, let's go with that name!"
