FV: Chapter 223

The smile on Lin Luoqing’s face couldn’t help deepening. He saw Ji Leyu’s proud little appearance and his heart was full of joy and emotion.

He hadn’t expected Ji Leyu to actually give him pocket money.

Ji Leyu was still too young to have the consciousness of giving gifts. Unlike Lin Fei, who would give his favorite cacti and notebook, Ji Leyu seldom gave him anything. It was only on his birthday that Ji Leyu painted something for him.

This didn’t mean that he didn’t care or like Lin Luoqing. He was just indeed too young. Even though he cared so much about Ji Yuxiao and could give Ji Yuxiao the inheritances his father left him without any care, he rarely took the initiative to give Ji Yuxiao small gifts.

At his age, he was used to receiving gifts from people older than him. He naturally didn’t have the consciousness of giving gifts to others.

Therefore, at the beginning, Lin Luoqing thought that Ji Leyu would buy some of his favorite toys or snacks with this salary, allowing him to feel the happiness of making money for the first time.

Then Ji Leyu gave Ji Yuxiao pocket money and this was undoubtedly learned from Lin Fei.

Ji Yuxiao was pleasantly surprised and so was Lin Luoqing.

He once again truly felt that Lin Fei was influencing Ji Leyu. He was like Ji Leyu’s guide in every move and every word, as well as his direction indicator. Ji Leyu followed his footsteps, slowly doing something he hadn’t done before.

This was a good thing, so Lin Luoqing was very happy.

Of course, in addition to this, Lin Luoqing was even happier that Ji Leyu thought of him and was willing to give him the same treatment as Ji Yuxiao.

Now his wish had come true.

He received pocket money from Ji Leyu.

Lin Luoqing looked at him, picked him up with a smile, put him on his lap and kissed him.

Ji Leyu smiled with crooked eyes. He looked very cute as he asked in a spoiled manner, “Dad, do you like it?”

“I like it,” Lin Luoqing said without hesitation. “I like whatever you give me.”

Ji Leyu was also happy. He knew that his aunt would definitely be happy after receiving it.

Lin Luoqing looked at his immature little face and felt a bit emotional in his heart.

In the very beginning, he and Ji Leyu were just two strangers. His only hope was that Ji Leyu wouldn’t let him experience the tragedy in the book. So after he came to this world and learned that the original owner had humiliated Ji Yuxiao and everything was irreversible, he couldn’t wait to marry Ji Yuxiao.

Later, he saw Ji Leyu and got in touch with him day by day. Then he found that even the future villain was sincere and soft when facing the people he cared about.

He guarded Ji Yuxiao like a little evil dragon who hadn’t grown up guarding his castle.

Therefore, after the castle was destroyed and he was homeless, he no longer suppressed himself and lived cruelly according to his own personality.

He had no nostalgia and no concern for the world. He could give up his meaningless life at any time, so he had nothing to worry about.

Lin Luoqing didn’t know the final fate of Ji Leyu in the novel, but he guessed that it might not be very good. Most villains’ fates were bleak, let alone Ji Leyu who didn’t care about himself.

Fortunately, these things were just printed in the book and would never happen. They would only be sealed in the book forever in his heart.
The current Ji Leyu still lived happily in the castle. He went to school, left school and ate with his family. He played games like most ordinary children.

So even if he was a little evil dragon, he could sincerely raise his hand and give Lin Luoqing the fruits of his labor, waiting for his praise with a smile of pride.

He still had concerns and people he liked. He had normal happiness and joy. He cared about himself and cherished himself. Thus, he wouldn’t completely give up on himself.

Lin Luoqing didn’t need him to give up the malice in his heart to be full of innocence and childishness, just like ordinary children.

He accepted every child’s different personality, no matter whether it was Lin Fei’s indifference and aloofness or Ji Leyu’s duplicity.

He hoped that they could live happily according to their own personalities, blossoming like flowers of different colors. They could walk through life without any regret or grievances, as long as they didn’t hurt others.

He looked at the little evil dragon in front of him who was handing him pocket money and thought, ‘He should be able to do it.’

After all, he had already taken the initiative to give Lin Luoqing pocket money. He would obediently stand in front of Lin Luoqing, putting away his little tail and waiting for his praise.

Ji Leyu cared about him and tried to respond to his liking. Ji Leyu was growing and changing. One day, he would suppress the malice in his heart with his own sense of reason.

Lin Luoqing touched his little head with a smile. Then he kissed Ji Leyu’s forehead and gave him the praise he wanted.

The smile on Ji Leyu’s face became brighter, like thick nectar. It was sweet and soft.

‘This is my child,’ Lin Luoqing thought. Ji Leyu was the child he worried about most and needed to be watched the most. He could cause the most trouble, but he was also well-behaved and cute.

He loved his children, every one of them, no matter whether it was Lin Fei or Ji Leyu.

In his eyes, they were the best children in the world, the most well-behaved and sensible children.

After distributing the pocket money, Ji Leyu talked softly with him for a while. Then he jumped off Lin Luoqing’s lap and left to go find Lin Fei.

“I’ve finished giving pocket money to Dad,” he said in a happy tone. “Dad looks so happy.”

Lin Fei replied indifferently, “Yes.”

Ji Leyu moved closer to him. “Will we still work part-time after that?”

“You can try it if you have time.”

Ji Leyu cocked his head. “When is it considered having time?”

“Winter and summer vacation.” Lin Fei looked at him. “Otherwise, it will delay my reading and your studying.”

Thinking of this, he approached Ji Leyu to remind him. “You haven’t done your summer homework yet.”

Ji Leyu, “……”

He loved working part-time, part-time work made him happy, let him continue to work!

Ji Yuxiao finished his work and went to find Lin Luoqing. He found Lin Luoqing humming a song while packing up his things. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Ji Yuxiao asked, “Have you received your son’s pocket money?”

Lin Luoqing nodded proudly. “My son is so cute.”

Ji Yuxiao said softly, “Silly Dad.”

How dare Lin Luoqing call him a silly father before when Lin Luoqing was obviously one!

Lin Luoqing turned to look at him and took out the card that Ji Leyu gave him. “Here.”

“Why are you giving it to me?” Ji Yuxiao wondered. “This is the pocket money that your son gave you. I don’t dare to ask for it.”

Lin Luoqing laughed again, a bit helpless. He thought about how this person still made him explain himself. “What bank card can Xiao Yu have? This must be your card and it must have more than just his salary. You can take it back.”

He took Ji Yuxiao’s hand and slapped the card into his palm. “I have already received his heart. So there is no need for this.”

Ji Yuxiao directly held his hand and didn’t let him leave.

Lin Luoqing was puzzled. “What is it?”

Ji Yuxiao flipped his hand and pressed his card back into his hand. “It is yours if he gave it to you.”

“It isn’t necessary,” Lin Luoqing said.

“Of course, it is.” Ji Yuxiao laughed. “The salary is naturally handed over to my wife for safekeeping.”

He approached Lin Luoqing, tone soft and ambiguous. “Right, wife?”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Lin Luoqing couldn’t help blushing. He lowered his head and didn’t push back the card.

Ji Yuxiao smiled, curled up his palm and kissed him on the finger. “Good. Now you have more pocket money.”

Lin Luoqing looked up at him and puffed out his cheeks. It was more like he was arrogant than angry.

Ji Yuxiao poked his face and Lin Luoqing turned his head to bite him. Ji Yuxiao quickly withdrew his hand and took Lin Luoqing into his arms.

“Why are you still biting your husband? How cruel.”

Lin Luoqing snorted and gritted his teeth. “Super fierce!”

Ji Yuxiao was amused by his appearance and hugged him tightly. He thought that Lin Luoqing was really cute.

On this night, the four of them naturally slept together. Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao slept on both ends while the two children slept in the middle. Both of them were sleeping very sweetly.

They returned to the city and Director Li bought a cake for Ji Leyu as promised. Ji Leyu ate happily as he watched Lin Luoqing and the others filming while eating.

Ji Leyu and Lin Fei’s scenes had finished filming, but Lin Luoqing’s side wasn’t done. Fortunately, both of them were still on summer vacation and Ji Yuxiao wasn’t too busy. He wasn’t in a hurry to go back and they could continue to stay in the crew to accompany Lin Luoqing.

It wasn’t until the end of July and almost the start of August that Lin Luoqing finally finished filming.

He finished the last scene and specifically went to Director Li. He asked Director Li to listen to the three songs he had asked Qin Yu to create to see if they could be used as an interlude.

Director Li had already negotiated with a professional music team but his heart was still moved after hearing Qin Wu’s singing. Her voice was too clean and the tune was very cheerful. It was like gurgling water and was especially suitable for a soundtrack for travel.

“Your friend?” Director Li asked him.

Lin Luoqing nodded. “She knew I was making this movie and was idle. Therefore, she wrote me these songs. She said that if the crew likes it, she can give it to us for free.”

Director Li looked at him ambiguously and teased, “She is so good to you?”

“It is because she doesn’t have much popularity and she can’t earn anything from setting a price. It is better to do personal favors. Then once the movie becomes popular, she will naturally rise to the top.”

That was true. Director Yue nodded.

However, he wasn’t the type to take advantage of others when it came to something he liked. He asked Lin Luoqing to go to the music director to negotiate the price.

“Does Ji Yuxiao know that you are helping her so much?” Director Li asked tactfully.

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Lin Luoqing felt that this person seemed to see something.

Director Li paused. “Why don’t you talk to him about it?”

“He knows.” Lin Luoqing was helpless. “You are worrying too much. You worry inside the scene and outside the scene. Aren’t you tired?”

“Who gets tired from eating melons?” Director Li was very indifferent. “Only people who cut the melons will be tired. People who eat the melons will feel good and want more.”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Lin Luoqing turned his head and left, refusing to continue cutting melons for him.

Director Li saw his appearance of fleeing and laughed happily. His heart found it very interesting. Lin Luoqing must have something to do with Ji Yuxiao. He would wait and see until their official announcement.

Lin Luoqing negotiated with the music director and told Qin Wu the good news.

Qin Wu was pleasantly surprised when she heard that she had sold another song and asked: [Really? That’s great.]

She was making money for the company again!

The money wasn’t much but she could accumulate a lot!

Qin Wu: [Thank you, Teacher Xiao Li.]

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…About the fact that my employees are trying their best to make money for me and keep thanking me. It is just… the feeling is quite subtle.’
This year’s excellent employee must be her!
Even if the king of heaven came, this year’s outstanding employee must be Qin Wu!

He was responding to Qin Wu’s message when he suddenly heard someone call him, “Teacher Lin.”

Lin Luoqing looked out and found that it was Ning Yu, one of the screenwriters of the crew.

He put away his phone and looked at Ning Yu with a smile. “Hello, Screenwriter Ning.”

“Are you finished?” Ning Yu asked him.

Lin Luoqing nodded. “Yes.”

“Congratulations.” Ning Yu smiled very gently. “You acted very well in this movie. I can still hear Director Li and Teacher Guo praising you in private from time to time.”

“Thank you.” Lin Luoqing looked at him. “Screenwriter Ning, are you looking for me for something?”

Ning Yu seemed a bit embarrassed. “There is something I want to ask you. I don’t know if it is convenient for you.”

“What is it?” Lin Luoqing was curious.

He didn’t have much contact with Ning Yu and basically every contact was related to the script. Now Ning Yu came to him and said there was something to ask him. Lin Luoqing was a bit puzzled. What could it be? Filming had ended so he couldn’t be continuing to discuss the script, right?
