Chapter 587: Let her give birth! Let her give birth!
Swoosh!
Sister Tian Tian scratched her head, her face full of confusion: Where the heck did you bring me to?
"Tian Tian, this postpartum center is pretty upscale. It's opened by a friend of mine, so confidentiality shouldn't be an issue." Xiao Shui introduced with a perfectly straight face.
While speaking, her eyes kept sneaking glances at Sister Tian Tian's belly.
Honestly, she had been sneaking peeks for quite a while now, and truly couldn't see the slightest sign of pregnancy.
Of course, having just conceived, it really wouldn't show much yet.
After all, that's just how Sister Tian Tian is — she can't keep things to herself. Xiao Shui figured she must have just found out and couldn't resist "bragging" about it right away.
If that's the case, then a flat little tummy is perfectly normal — probably still just a tiny embryo or something.
"A postpartum center?!"
Sister Tian Tian's reaction at this moment was rather interesting too — her cheeks flushed red, but she didn't say anything about being embarrassed to go in. Instead, her eyes revealed a hint of eagerness for "new knowledge."
She wanted to learn a bit more~
"How about it? I'm pretty thoughtful, right? You definitely didn't expect such a shortcut!"
"Way too thoughtful, girl. But speaking of which... should I wear a mask?"
"Damn! You didn't even bring a mask?"
Only now did Xiao Shui realize it belatedly, feeling her whole body go numb for a moment.
She turned her head to look back, and of course saw nothing.
But not spotting any paparazzi didn't mean she could relax. Seasoned paparazzi wouldn't have caused so many celebrities to get hit with "See You on Monday" scandals if they were this easy to catch.
At this point Sister Tian Tian was also getting a little nervous. "We won't get photographed, right?"
"Weren't you two going to go public anyway? If you get photographed, I don't think the consequences would be that serious." Xiao Shui analyzed calmly.
That sentence finally woke Sister Tian Tian up. She froze completely. "Huh? Who said anything about going public?"
"Wait, girl... a love child?! No, that's not right — you're not even skipping the marriage certificate, are you? A secret marriage?"
Sister Tian Tian thought about it and felt it wasn't easy to answer, because she hadn't even asked Bai Liang about it.
Wanting to have a baby is what she's thinking now. As for what to do afterward... she hasn't figured that out yet~
She'll deal with it when the time comes!
Besides, Xiao Shui's "suggestion" actually sounded pretty good. After all, Bai Liang can pretty much be called the top domestic entertainment celebrity right now. Sister Tian Tian also felt that if she ended up having a negative impact on his career, it would make her look a bit like a "homewrecker" — bad luck!
So she let out a "hehe," as if silently agreeing.
A secret marriage for real?!!!
After the shock, Xiao Shui figured there was nothing wrong with it. A certain Heavenly King in Xiangjiang had managed to keep a secret marriage for over twenty years for the sake of his career.
A certain mainland young actor — now firmly in the "middle-aged actor" category — has an eighteen-year-old son, but the female celebrities he's worked with have all been guessed at, and to this day no one knows who the child's mother actually is.
The entertainment circle may seem like it has no secrets, fully exposed under the spotlight, but if you really put in the effort to hide something, it can be done.
Anyway, with Bai Liang's wealth plus help from all the interested parties, he just might actually be able to keep it hidden.
Thinking about it is kind of thrilling!
But Xiao Shui did add one more thing: "Then you absolutely mustn't go running your big mouth telling everyone about this."
"When have I ever been a big mouth..." Sister Tian Tian said, a little indignant.
"Then how many people have you told about this so far?"
"Two, three, four, five?"
The way that number kept climbing made Xiao Shui's eyes widen more and more.
She even hurriedly checked that rich-woman fan group of hers, relieved not to see the topic being spammed crazily in there.
At this point Sister Tian Tian added that the number was mainly from her team members, not from her grabbing a megaphone and blabbing to the whole world, which made it seem slightly more reasonable.
Telling the team was fine — they had to know, otherwise they wouldn't even know how to handle crisis PR.
"Tian Tian, no — Sister Tian Tian — I realized you're pretty unreliable. Even more unreliable than me."
Xiao Shui also did some self-reflection. Her own move of excitedly dragging the other person to a postpartum center was pretty out there too.
But compared to Sister Tian Tian herself, it seemed only mildly so.
At this point Xiao Shui said that to be safe, they should just pull out for today, and later just call for an "in-home service" instead.
But Sister Tian Tian seemed unable to wait, her eyes wide with a look of "pleading."
She wanted to go~
This act of cuteness, completely inappropriate for her current age, had devastating killing power — Bai Liang couldn't handle it, and even Xiao Shui, a woman herself, couldn't handle it.
Go, go~ Just need to make one more preparation, that's all.
In case they really got tailed by paparazzi and got checkmated later.
Paparazzi: We're actually tailing them~
Honestly, the paparazzi outside the postpartum center were thrilled too: Finally caught something big!
This bunch wasn't tailing Sister Tian Tian long-term either — they were the ones tailing Bai Liang.
But for certain not-very-scientific reasons, they never got any results.
Even when they saw with their own eyes Bai Liang kissing a female star, no photo meant no truth — it was as if they hadn't seen anything.
So now some paparazzi had learned to be "smart," no longer stubbornly grinding away at that weird guy Bai Liang, and instead choosing to find another way.
Bai Liang might be weird, but they refused to believe the female stars linked to him were weird too!
Of course, tailing these female stars would most likely yield no real results. Anyone who didn't know would think these paparazzi were hired by Bai Liang to keep watch, to prevent himself from being cuckolded.
That effect had indeed been achieved, but the paparazzi's main goal was still to dig out the "love nest."
That bastard Bai Liang being "at home anywhere in the world" was no longer a secret — the bastard doesn't have a home!
So the paparazzi didn't even have a fixed stakeout location.
But by tailing the young ladies, they did manage to dig up a few of the "hare's three burrows."
For example, the house Reba bought — by now the paparazzi have already dug up the exact address.
Can't blame them — whenever she has free time and nothing to do, she loves running over there~
That place now has a whole crew staking it out long-term, swearing they'll catch the scene of Bai Liang and Reba "going home" together.
Nazha couldn't escape either — the paparazzi even dug up that she lives in the same compound as Tian Xiwei and Yang Chaoyue.
Yes, Tian Xiwei — not Li Yitong.
Because our evil little kitty classmate, thanks to being far too busy with work, keeps jumping from one production to the next without a break, and hasn't been home in ages.
Which led to Dou Xiao Tian staying there even more often than the actual homeowner herself, giving rise to this little misunderstanding.
As for Yang Chaoyue, she was simply unlucky — her place is still being renovated, she only went over once in the middle of it, and before she'd even properly moved in, the paparazzi already caught her.
That compound is now a prime surveillance target for Shanghai's celebrity residences. Thank goodness both Meng Jie and Sister Xiao Zhao haven't gone over in a while, otherwise I'd wager not a single one of them would escape.
For now, it seems only Nazha is out in the open, waiting for the day Bai Liang actually drops by, so she can deliver a "wipeout" to that pack of paparazzi.
