Chapter 109 Perfect Presidential Wife

Shao Chengxi was thinking about Shu Lin.

Recently, he had been feeling down because of the cuts to the radio drama.

Shao Chengxi had Wu Jie find him many scripts to distract him, but he didn’t seem very interested.

However, if Shao Chengxi told him to look at them, he would obediently do so.

He would even carefully mark the scripts and practice and adjust repeatedly.

Even so, Shao Chengxi still felt that Shu Lin was different than before.

These days, Shu Lin was excessively gentle with him.

But he never showed him that bright, sunflower-like smile he used to.

Moreover, Shu Lin always slept with his back to him now.

Clearly, every time before they went to sleep, he would hold Shu Lin face-to-face in his arms.

But every time he woke up, Shu Lin would have his back to him.

When he pulled him close, Shu Lin would obediently turn around, nestle into his arms, and give him a well-behaved smile.

It was this smile that made Shao Chengxi feel uneasy.

He actually saw an expression on Shu Lin’s face that he had never seen before—a forced smile.

Before, in front of him, his baby would always wear his joys and sorrows on his face, always retaining his precious, genuine, and simple nature.

Now, his baby had changed.

He was beginning to learn to hide his true emotions from him.

This was a very bad sign.

His baby was distancing himself from him, trying to keep his distance from him.

No.

This definitely wouldn’t do.

“Chengxi.” Shao Yuqin’s voice pulled him back to his thoughts.

He looked up at Shao Yuqin, “Grand-aunt, just tell me what’s on your mind.”

Shao Yuqin saw that he was preoccupied and didn’t waste words: “I heard that you sent someone to cut all the intimate scenes from Xiao Lin’s radio drama.”

“That’s true.” Shao Chengxi was a little surprised.

He thought only he and the Shu family knew about this.

But he was sure that Shu Lin would never have mentioned this to Shao Yuqin.

“Are you wondering how I found out?” Shao Yuqin smiled.

Shao Chengxi slightly raised the corner of his mouth, “That’s right, I was just about to ask Grand-aunt.”

Shao Yuqin clicked her tongue lightly, not answering directly:

“The fact that Xiao Lin’s radio drama had intimate scenes, I actually knew about it earlier than you.”

“Or rather, I knew from the beginning. To use the young people’s words, I’m a loyal fan of Xiao Lin.”

Shao Chengxi was even more surprised and raised an eyebrow, “Since Grand-aunt knew so early, why didn’t you tell me?”

If she had told him earlier, he would have stopped it sooner, and Shu Lin wouldn’t have recorded so much, and the repercussions wouldn’t have been so widespread.

“I thought you knew.” Shao Yuqin said, “Even if you didn’t know, there was no reason for me to tell you. The dramas he recorded are all positive artistic expressions, without any problems.”

Shao Chengxi didn’t argue with her, “From a listener’s point of view, I can understand Grand-aunt…”

“No, no, no,” Shao Yuqin waved her hand, interrupting him, “I am first and foremost a member of the Shao family, then a listener, I understand the interests of the Shao family and know your concerns.”

She paused and looked directly at Shao Chengxi, “What I mean is, even from the perspective of the Shao family’s interests, there’s nothing majorly wrong with the dramas Xiao Lin recorded.”

Shao Chengxi frowned slightly, “To be honest, I don’t agree with your idea. The risk of those intimate scenes is obvious, Grand-aunt, I think this doesn’t need me to say more.”

“I ask you.” Shao Yuqin said unhurriedly, “Have you listened to the entire radio drama he recorded? Even just one? Have you?”

“…” Shao Chengxi was completely speechless.

To be honest, he hadn’t.

Apart from the extracted intimate scene clips, he hadn’t listened to even one episode, let alone the whole drama.

Where would he find the time to do such a thing?

Shao Yuqin sighed, “I know you don’t have time, and I don’t think Xiao Lin would blame you for that, right?”

Shao Chengxi pursed his lips and shook his head.

Shu Lin was an understanding baby, never adding to his burdens, only doing his own thing in his own little world.

Because he was busy, Shu Lin spent more time with his best friend Gu Xiao than with him.

Shao Yuqin left it at that: “Chengxi, I think you should understand what you did wrong in this matter, right?”

“Grand-aunt, I understand what you mean.” Shao Chengxi looked grave.

He hadn’t listened to even one episode of Shu Lin’s radio drama, and only based his judgment on the extracted intimate scene clips, which was somewhat generalizing.

He had been arbitrary.

Shao Yuqin stood up and patted his shoulder:

“Xiao Lin suffered such a great grievance, but still listened to you, only because he loves you. For you, he is willing to compromise.”

“Also to protect you, he didn’t even tell his best friend about his suffering.”

“He would rather suffer himself than let others misunderstand you in the slightest.”

Shao Chengxi felt a burst of stuffiness in his chest, and even his breathing became a little labored.

Shao Yuqin said earnestly:

“Chengxi, one can’t be too greedy.”

“In six years, you will officially run for president. At that time, Xiao Lin’s US-Class Omega status, outstanding beauty, and prestigious Imperial University background alone will give you, an Alpha, the protagonist’s halo.”

“With your ability and pride, this support is enough. You agree, right?”

“Why insist on demanding that a child who is only 20 years old be a perfect presidential wife now?”

These words struck Shao Chengxi deeply.

Yes, his baby was only half a year past his 20th birthday and had not yet graduated from university.

How could he be so mercenary, demanding that his baby meet the standards of a perfect presidential wife?

To this day, they hadn’t even had a wedding.

He kept saying that he loved his Omega, but in fact, he loved himself the most.

Coming out of Shao Yuqin’s residence, Shao Chengxi felt heavy-footed.

Returning to the detached villa he shared with Shu Lin, he didn’t see Shu Lin.

The housekeeper told him that she didn’t know he would be back so early, and Shu Lin had gone to the Shu family before dinner.

Shao Chengxi returned to the bedroom alone and saw the script on the small table. He walked over and picked it up.

It was a script that Wu Jie had chosen for Shu Lin, about the dubbing of a historical figure documentary.

To reflect the weight of history, Shu Lin needed to deliberately deepen his clear voice.

He had been practicing these days.

Opening the script, Shao Chengxi saw handwritten notes in various colors.

He sat on the sofa next to him and began to read carefully, but on one page he saw a line of small red words written by Shu Lin.

“If only I were a little older, my voice would definitely be suitable.”

“I will learn to grow old faster, I will, fighting.”

Seeing this line, Shao Chengxi’s lips couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Which 20-year-old would cheer themselves on to grow old faster?

He stared at that line for a long, long time.

The housekeeper asked him to go downstairs for dinner, but he didn’t move at all.

Coming back to his senses again, he put down the script, opened his phone, and looked at the complete version of all the radio dramas that Shao Yuqin had sent him.

In the end, he chose to listen to Shu Lin’s most famous work.

He remembered that the character Shu Lin voiced was called Ye Wuhen.

Because of the bed scenes of this character, Shu Lin had even been on the hot search.
