Chapter 125: Earned with a Life

Encouraged by Shao Chengxi’s gaze, Shu Lin took a deep breath and slowly explained his decision.

“Brother, I know you’re doing this for me, but ‘Serve the Public Media’ is an authoritative news platform, not suitable for opening a dedicated dubbing channel.”

“Radio dramas are niche, forcibly adding one will only damage the platform’s seriousness.”

“Besides, there’s no audience base for it on this platform.”

Shu Lin’s voice was soft, yet clear.

“I agree to establish my own studio. Wu Jie’s abilities are beyond doubt, and I will continue to work with him, but from now on, he has to listen to me.”

“I want to buy out the copyright of all the radio dramas I’ve dubbed, and reset them according to my own ideas.”

“Having the copyright in hand is the only way to effectively prevent various risks.”

He paused, then added:

“Gu Xiao will join my studio. Of course, more people with similar ideals will join us later.”

“In the future, I will choose scripts, find directors, build dubbing teams, become an investor, and control the risks of every step.”

“Brother, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing and what’s important.”

“Besides, Grandma is very interested in my work, and with her there, she can also help me steer the ship.”

Shao Chengxi listened quietly, a look of surprise and relief gradually appearing in his eyes, along with a sense of guilt.

He reached out and stroked Shu Lin’s cheek, his thumb gently caressing the corner of his eye, and said softly:

“Baby, you’ve thought everything through so thoroughly.”

Shu Lin blinked, “Then… do you support me?”

Shao Chengxi pulled him into his arms, resting his chin on the top of his head, and said apologetically:

“I was too arbitrary before, always treating you like a child and not listening to your thoughts.”

“You have talent, ability, and work so hard, how could I not support you?”

Shu Lin’s nose tingled, he clutched his clothes tightly, and said muffledly, “I was afraid you’d think I was being willful…”

“How could I?” Shao Chengxi lifted his face, “You can think so far ahead and even consider the platform nature of ‘Serve the Public Media’. You are being very rational.”

He lowered his head and kissed Shu Lin’s forehead, “Baby, follow your own ideas and do what you love. Whatever resources you need, your husband will give them to you.”

Shu Lin’s eyes curved into crescents, he tiptoed and kissed Shao Chengxi on the lips:

“Thank you, brother! I love dubbing, I will do it well, I will definitely make a name for myself, your husband, you just wait and see.”

“I believe in you.” Shao Chengxi’s eyes darkened, he held his waist, and deepened the kiss.

The midday sun was bright and clear, their figures passionately entwined, adding warmth to the cold winter.

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival was approaching, and the Shao Residence’s courtyard was hung with red lanterns, the atmosphere of the New Year growing stronger.

At a family dinner before the New Year, Shu Lin hesitated for a long time before speaking:

“Grandfather, Father, this Lunar New Year’s Eve… can I ask my dad and my sister to spend the New Year with us at the Shao Residence?”

“Mainly because I’m not there, and there are only the two of them at home, it’s too lonely…”

“Of course!” Before he could finish speaking, Shao Shiyan eagerly responded loudly.

All eyes turned to him.

Shao Shiyan then realized his gaffe, his ears slightly flushed, but he still straightened his back and looked calm.

Shao Bingheng coughed lightly and smiled:

“No problem, we’re all family anyway, it’s even more lively to spend the New Year together. Shu Lin, tell your dad and your sister that we welcome their arrival.”

Shu Lin’s eyes curved into crescents with a smile: “Thank you, Father!”

He had discussed this with Shao Chengxi in private.

Shao Chengxi also said it was no problem.

However, his consent alone wasn’t enough, he still had to ask the elders for instructions.

This result was already within his expectations.

In fact, he hadn’t even told Shu Jingcheng and Shu Lingxiao about this yet.

But he believed that he could convince them.

Early the next morning, Shu Lin excitedly ran back to the Shu family to work on them.

Shu Jingcheng agreed without much thought when he heard his son’s suggestion.

His son wasn’t there last Lunar New Year’s Eve, and he was so upset.

It was indeed lonely spending the New Year with Shu Lingxiao, so it was better to go to the Shao Residence together.

It wasn’t so easy when it came to working on Shu Lingxiao.

Without thinking, she said, “I’m not going.”

Shu Lin became anxious and hugged her arm, constantly coaxing her:

“Sister, please go, aren’t you the most fond of watching fireworks?”

“The Shao Residence will have the most grand fireworks display in Imperial Capital on Lunar New Year’s Eve, specially made, and there will be particularly many this year, you can’t see them anywhere else.”

Seeing that Shu Lingxiao’s expression had softened, Shu Lin pressed on:

“If you don’t like the crowd and the noise, you can go to the detached villa where I live after the Lunar New Year’s Eve dinner. No one will bother you.”

He quickly winked at Shu Jingcheng.

Shu Jingcheng understood and helped persuade her:

“Lingxiao, let’s go together. Spending the New Year at the Shao family’s place is at least less troublesome. You don’t have to buy New Year’s goods or prepare the Lunar New Year’s Eve dinner yourself. You can just wait to eat when you get there, how great is that.”

Hearing this, Shu Lingxiao’s eyes brightened a lot.

God knows how tired she was to prepare these things before the Lunar New Year’s Eve after working the last day before the New Year.

Even if it was just her and Shu Jingcheng, they would have to be busy from morning to night.

Finally, Shu Lingxiao relented: “…Alright then.”

However, Shao Shiyan was a bit of a headache.

Oh well, she’d deal with it when they got there.

This Lunar New Year’s Eve at the Shao Residence was more lively than in previous years.

The Lunar New Year’s Eve family dinner was about to begin, Shu Lin waited at the door and waved happily when he saw Shu Lingxiao’s car approaching.

Shao Shiyan didn’t know when he had also come out. Seeing the car stop, he deftly stepped forward to open the door and take the things, more diligent than Shu Lin, the biological son and younger brother.

On Lunar New Year’s Eve, the Shao Residence was brightly lit, and four large round tables were placed in the hall of Anju Villa.

Shu Jingcheng and Shu Lingxiao, along with Shu Lin and the others, shared a table with the core members of the Shao family.

During the dinner, Shu Jingcheng observed discreetly.

Shao Bingheng personally poured wine for him, addressing him warmly as “parent-in-law,” showing great enthusiasm and respect.

Shao Chengxi was even more impeccable towards his father-in-law.

Shao Tingrui arranged for Shu Lin to sit next to him, not hiding his affection and importance for Shu Lin.

Shao Shiyan always hovered around Shu Lingxiao like a large dog, following her every whim.

The others in the Shao family dared not neglect them in the slightest.

Shu Jingcheng was well aware that all of this could be said to have been earned with his son’s life.

Because of the pheromone imbalance incident, he was actually dissatisfied with Shao Chengxi.

It was because he hadn’t protected his precious son that Shu Lin was lying in bed with a high fever and unconscious.

Yes, Shao Chengxi had saved him and Shu Lingxiao.

But that wasn’t a reason for Shao Chengxi to demand unlimitedly from Shu Lin.

In this pheromone imbalance incident, it was because of Shao Chengxi’s request that his precious son risked his life to save the lives of those twenty-odd people, and in reality, also saved the Shao family.

In this way, it could be considered a repayment of Shao Chengxi’s life-saving grace.

From then on, Shu Lin no longer needed to have the psychological burden of owing Shao Chengxi.

He and Shao Chengxi were now equal.

If he suffered grievances in the future, he could rightfully resist, and if it became unbearable, he could even choose to leave.

There would be no more moral constraints of being ungrateful.

When Shu Jingcheng was guarding Shu Lin in the hospital, he was determined that once he recovered, he would find an opportunity to make these words clear in front of the Shao family.

In order to protect his precious son from suffering grievances, he would play the villain.

Seeing Shu Lin happily nestling next to his Alpha, Shu Jingcheng hesitated.

Should he say these words or not?
