Chapter 30

Yu Xuanwei didn’t want to explain, and he didn’t see the need to. However, Wu Qingluan was a person in this world, and the three children were going to live in this world, so they needed a reasonable explanation.

So, Wu Qingluan watched as Yu Xuanwei spun a web of lies, portraying her as unmarried but pregnant and giving birth to children out of wedlock.

“…My profession is unique, and I didn’t want to draw too much attention, so I kept it hidden,” she explained.

It was rare for Yu Xuanwei to speak so much in one go, and all of it was falsehoods, but Wu Qingluan couldn’t bring herself to interrupt him.

In front of their three grandsons, Yu Zheng couldn’t muster any stern words, but he felt somewhat indignant. “This is outrageous… hiding it even from your own parents. My precious grandsons…”

It was Song Meie who regained her composure first. “Qingluan, may we come to your place?”

“Of course!” Wu Qingluan replied eagerly.

Once inside Wu Qingluan’s house, Yu Zheng was enthusiastically welcomed by the flock of chickens, which startled him.

Wu Qingluan discreetly observed Yu Zheng and Song Meie. It seemed like they were quite satisfied with her? Those melodramatic scenarios from TV shows where female stars were driven away by wealthy families didn’t seem to be happening.

Yu Zheng, who was used to being serious, habitually wore a stern expression. But when he saw his three grandsons, he smiled so much that his face felt stiff.

Wu Qingluan liked Song Meie’s gentle and graceful demeanor. She hadn’t seen her own mother since childhood, and Song Meie was the image of a mother she had imagined.

With the important event of meeting the parents happening so suddenly, Yu Zheng and Song Meie couldn’t be bothered to blame Yu Xuanwei anymore. They held and hugged their three grandsons affectionately.

Wu Qingluan noticed that Yu Xuanwei seemed distant towards his parents, and it bothered her. She took the opportunity while he was in the kitchen cutting fruit to approach him quietly. “Can’t you just smile a little? These are your own parents!”

Yu Xuanwei had no particular affection for Yu Zheng and Song Meie. He had chosen to reincarnate into the mortal world only to reunite with Wu Qingluan. Meeting his parents on special occasions was simply a matter of adhering to the family bonds between parents and children.

Yu Xuanwei, being naturally aloof, found it hard to adapt to the family life of the mortal world.

Over the years, Yu Xuanwei had raised the triplets, but he had mostly let them grow up on their own. He had no idea what being a loving father meant. His usual approach to parenting involved either harsh punishments or intimidating threats.

However, when Wu Qingluan requested it, he had to comply.

Yu Xuanwei brought a fruit platter to the living room with a stern expression and said to Song Meie, “Mom, have some fruit.”

Song Meie, who had rarely received affection from her son in the past, was taken aback. She had tears in her eyes as she looked at him. “Alright, Mom will eat, and you should eat too.”

With the triplets hanging onto him, Yu Zheng couldn’t stop smiling. He leaned in and said, “Little Meie, feed me a piece.”

Song Meie happily fed Yu Zheng and the triplets pieces of fruit, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Watching this scene, Wu Qingluan felt a mix of envy and gratitude. She was grateful that everyone could be together and was fortunate that they could reunite.

Yu Zheng and Song Meie stayed at Wu Qingluan’s house for a week. They only left when Yu Xuanwei couldn’t bear to keep them any longer.

Wu Qingluan got along very well with them, the kind of comfort and ease where she could be completely herself in front of them.

On the other hand, Yu Xuanwei tended to put on a serious face and would become impatient with too many questions. When Song Meie discussed engagement and wedding plans with him, he acted as if human affairs were troublesome. Wu Qingluan had to push him away and handle it herself.

As for the wedding, Wu Qingluan didn’t really care. A marriage contract and a grand ceremony couldn’t guarantee a lifetime together. As long as they were sincerely in love when they were together, happiness was enough.

Perhaps fate liked to play tricks on people. The more you sought something, the more elusive it became, and the less you sought something, the more it seemed to come your way.

After the release of “Flower Destiny,” it became a nationwide sensation, with skyrocketing box office numbers and rave reviews. As the female lead, Wu Qingluan naturally rose to stardom.

Wu Qingluan’s fans, both male and female, quickly recognized her. She had delivered outstanding performances in “High Mountains and Flowing Water,” starring Yu Weiping and Zhong Qi, and had showcased her talent in many other films and TV dramas. Fans were excited to discover this hidden gem of an actress.

In no time, Wu Qingluan’s name was trending on various social media platforms, and people everywhere were discussing her. She became the talk of the town.

Wu Qingluan was even recognized when she went to drop off her triplets at school, causing a crowd to gather at the kindergarten entrance. This frightened her, and she decided never to go without some disguise again.

Wu Qingluan was even recognized when she went to drop off her triplets at school, which caused a commotion at the kindergarten’s entrance. She was so frightened that she never dared to go without disguises again.

As they say, when you become famous, you attract both attention and controversy. Wu Qingluan hadn’t even reaped the full benefits of her newfound fame when she was hit with a backlash.

Yu Xuanwei was angry.

It was the kind of jealousy that couldn’t be easily soothed.

This all started with the premiere of “The Flower’s Destiny.” It was supposed to be her last movie before retiring, so it held a special significance for her. She had even requested the best seats for the premiere for Yu Xuanwei and their triplets, and they had gone to watch it together with great excitement. However, Yu Xuanwei became upset after the screening.

“The Flower’s Destiny” had all the right elements to make it a blockbuster. First, the script was solid, with a story that many people would instantly fall in love with. Second, the casting was spot on, with actors who perfectly suited their roles. The production, post-production, and marketing efforts were all excellent. Add to that the international fame of Director Li, and it was a recipe for success.

It was well-known that “The Flower’s Destiny” was fundamentally a love story, and love stories naturally included intimate scenes. These scenes, enhanced by post-production and accompanied by beautiful music, left viewers captivated. Even Wu Qingluan herself was enchanted by the movie.

After watching the film, Wu Qingluan wiped away her tears and said, “Honestly, I got so immersed in the role. I never thought I could love someone this much.”

This was just a sigh of emotion, but little did Wu Qingluan know that Yu Xuanwei immediately snorted and left without waiting for her response.

The triplets were all exceptionally clever, and they had already sensed Yu Xuanwei’s displeasure. By the second half of the movie, Yu Xuanwei’s expression had already been quite terrifying, and no one expected Wu Qingluan to add fuel to the fire with such a remark.

Wu Qingluan quickly realized her mistake, and amidst the triplets’ amusement, she hurried to catch up with her husband.

Of course, after Yu Xuanwei’s temper tantrum, he made amends with Wu Qingluan. As for the price she had to pay, well, let’s just say it involved some indescribable actions…

During this process, Wu Qingluan also finally learned how Yu Xuanwei had pulled off the body double scenes in the movies. After all the fuss, she found out that the intimate scenes with her co-star Qin Rong were all Yu Xuanwei in disguise. So why had he even been angry? Knowing the truth, Wu Qingluan tearfully admitted that she had been completely wronged.

Just a few months after Wu Qingluan became a sensation, rumors started circulating online about her being financially supported by the top executives of the entertainment giant. There were even serious allegations about how she behaved arrogantly in her daily life and was overly indulgent with her child.

Regarding the indulgence with her child, Wu Qingluan readily admitted it – her triplets were the apples of her eye, and she spoiled them to no end. But accusations of her behaving violently, that was a completely different story.

Wu Qingluan spent some time online investigating the gossip about herself and found that the person spreading these rumors was actually someone she knew—a mother from the triplets’ kindergarten, the mother of the little girl named Tongtong.

Wu Qingluan was utterly exasperated with this woman who clearly had a few screws loose. It was she who had blown small children’s normal playtime out of proportion in the first place. Now she was recklessly spreading rumors to the media.

She refused to tolerate such malicious behavior and promptly sued the woman. Not long after, the woman came crying and begging for reconciliation.

Wu Qingluan only wanted to teach her a lesson and didn’t actually intend to harm her. Seeing the woman’s sincere apology, she accepted the reconciliation.

However, as a former public figure aiming to return to a peaceful life, she felt obligated to explain things to the general public.

So, when Wu Qingluan won the prestigious “White Phoenix Award” for Best Actress in the film industry, she announced her retirement from acting right after receiving the award. This decision caused a commotion in the audience. She then explained her marriage and motherhood, thanking everyone for their love and support.

Wu Qingluan’s performance that day became legendary. She retired right after becoming the Best Actress, followed by revealing her secret marriage and motherhood. She then exited the stage cleanly, without any lingering drama.

Afterward, no one ever pried into her private life again. Only a few close acquaintances in the industry occasionally mentioned with envy that Wu Qingluan was now living a fairy-tale life.

Another year passed, on a night with a full moon.

Yu Xuanwei and Wu Qingluan walked hand in hand through the forest, with three adorable boys trailing behind them.

This life was exceptionally beautiful.

April 6, 2023, the end of the main story, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a time when I thought I couldn’t finish writing this, but when I thought of the lovable triplets, I couldn’t bear not giving them a satisfying ending, so I persevered and completed it.

There are expected to be 10,000 to 20,000 words in the epilogue, which will cover the big fox’s mating

Thanks to each and every one of you who waited for me until now.
