Nan Jingheng glanced playfully at Wei Zilin and said, “That’s right. The fee I’m offering is for newbies and different from the payment offered to well-known voiceover actors. So, you don’t need to feel too pressured. Besides, with your online reputation alone, it would no doubt draw more players than if I were to hire some big shot voiceover actor. In this way, you won’t even need to worry about how you will end up sounding like. After all, you’re popular on Weibo and it’s the first time your fans will get to hear your voice. This will create a lot of anticipation within our fans.”
Thus, Xu Moyan stopped rejecting his offer and smiled as she agreed to accept the payment.
Little Muran was sitting by the side silently. Wei Ran had fed her until she was full, she took off the bib on around her neck and got Wei Ziqi to bring her down from the child’s seat.
There was nothing Wei Ziqi would not do for his precious little daughter. He immediately stopped peeling shrimp for Wei Ran and picked up a warm wet towel from the heated humidifier. Then, he wiped his hands clean before carrying little Muran down from her seat.
Meanwhile, Little Muche was already full and was having fun by himself in his walker.
Little Muran walked unsteadily toward Xu Moyan’s side.
Xu Moyan’s heart melted at the sight of this soft, little, tender child. She was such an adorable little girl. Nevertheless, she did not dare to pick her up as she was afraid little Muran might not like it.
As such, all she did was lower her head to smile at little Muran. Her eyes were filled with a gentle softness as she did so as she really did like this little girl.
“Second Auntie,” little Muran suddenly called out. It made Xu Moyan blush. Then, little Muran ran off to play with her younger brother.
Xu Moyan, “…”
Did she walk all the way toward her just to call out to her?
Wei Zilin was happily holding his wineglass as he said to Xu Moyan, “My little niece is such a good little girl.”
Xu Moyan, “…”
“Second Auntie called me today to ask about Moyan. It could be that she wasn’t able to learn much from you, which is why she tried asking me about her,” Wei Ziqi dipped a peeled shrimp into the sweet and sour sauce before placing it on Wei Ran’s plate and wiping his hand clean.
Wei Zilin looked at Xu Moyan. She looked like she was not really bothered by this whilst he simply smiled. His eyes seemed to be shining at her, and there was doubt that if there were not so many people around them, then he would have kissed her.
There were quite a few people around them, but when Wei Zilin looked at her, Xu Moyan felt like she was sucked into his eyes, disappearing from the crowd. The laughter around her faded and the whole world became silent, as if she and Wei Zilin were the only two people left.
This was a phenomenon whereby you would feel absolute silence even amongst the crowds. Xu Moyan thought that she felt this way because she was with someone that she was in love with.
Wei Ziqi looked at the two of them and smiled before saying, “I told her Moyan is a nice girl. It would scare her if you had brought her home when you’ve only just gotten together. She needs to give both of you some time.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll bring her back to meet everyone soon,” Wei Zilin said. He knew that Wei Ziqi was also hinting at him to quickly bring Xu Moyan home to meet their family.
After all, Wei Zilin was not really that young anymore.
Over the past few years, his grandfather and Wei Zilin’s mother, Tian Fangyu, had constantly been trying to introduce new girls to Wei Zilin, but none were successful. It made the elders at home anxious about his marital status.
It was not that Wei Zilin did not want to get married, it was just that he had not yet met someone he liked. This was what made the elders anxious about him. They were glad that he was not opposed to having a family because, in reality, he was looking forward to having a family on his own. Unfortunately, they were worried about him setting his standards too high as he was never attracted to the girls from well-to-do families that they had introduced to him.
Now that he was finally in a relationship, to the point of even releasing a statement about it, they knew that he was serious about this girl. Because of this, everyone could not wait to meet her.
Wei Ziqi nodded and reminded him, “You need to be considerate. If you’re too slow to take action, grandpa might not be able to wait.”
Everyone had a great time during this meal. However, when little Muran and little Muche got tired, they decided to call it a night and everyone went home.
Xu Moyan was relieved that Wei Ziqi seemed to be quite satisfied with her.
To be honest, she was really worried about what the Wei family thought of her. If they did not accept her, it would just put Wei Zilin in a difficult position.
She felt that life was like a glass of warm water. It would not burn your tongue even though it initially seemed tasteless. Despite the fact that it might taste bland and flavorless, you could drink it for your entire life without really getting sick of it.
She was just living a normal life, but what sort of life would have so many ups and downs, coupled with so many challenges?
Maintaining a relationship is not easy. If no one supported their relationship and instead pushed further problems onto them, their hearts would eventually tire, even if they insisted on staying together. However, after struggling to stay together, what would they think of during the silence deep in the night?
Their love would eventually be exhausted if such a situation continued.
Couples who fight for their love and insist on being together might have a story that sounded beautiful and heart-breaking, but in reality, all it would bring is exhaustion for themselves and the people around them.
This was a situation that Xu Moyan did not want to be in. All she wanted was a peaceful experience and as such, sincerely hoped that the Wei family would like her. She hoped that she would not cause any trouble for Wei Zilin as she wished for him to have things go his way and for him to be free of any worry.
This get-together had given Xu Moyan a lot of confidence for their future.
As it was getting late, Wei Zilin decided to see her home immediately. He really wanted to take her to his home, but that would mean things would be moving too fast for her.
At least, this was what Wei Zilin told himself.
When you like someone, you want to keep them by your side all the time. Right then, Wei Zilin felt this way about Xu Moyan.
When his Cayenne stopped outside Xu Moyan’s place, Wei Zilin did not really want to let her out of the car yet. He secretly reprimanded himself for driving too fast.
In truth, he had only driven at a speed of 40 to 60 miles per hour on the road. There were many cars that overtook him, and many drivers had glared at him.
Even so, he still thought that he had driven too fast.
Xu Moyan unbuckled her safety belt, but Wei Zilin lightly grabbed a hold of her hand. Then, he sighed. “What should I do? I don’t really want to let you leave.”
Xu Moyan turned to look at him. His sigh caused her to blush furiously whilst his gentle voice that was filled with regret shook her to the core. They had just watched ‘Massacre’ that afternoon and his sigh reminded Xu Moyan of Qi Shaofeng’s sigh in the movie.
It was a sad sigh for lovers who were not meant to be together.
Xu Moyan did not actually want to leave either. Her sparkling eyes looked at him, clear and bright. She was still figuring out how to answer him when Wei Zilin reached over her, trapping her in her seat. Then, he kissed her on the lips.
One of his long legs had somehow crossed over and got between the gear and storage box. He had moved over to her side until his slender body was hovering over her, completely trapping Xu Moyan under him.
He sucked on her soft, fragrant lips like a thirsty traveler. His thirst was temporarily quenched but his lips could not stop mimicking the shape of hers. He savored her lips’ gentleness and aroma, unable to help himself as he placed his fingers on her lips before gently caressing them.
“Stop looking at me the way you just did. Otherwise, I won’t be able to control myself,” Wei Zilin said hoarsely as his lips covered hers yet again, relishing the taste of her lips.
Xu Moyan’s breathing was erratic. She could hardly catch her breath as her hair, clothes, and mind were all in a mess.
Xu Moyan pouted slightly as she mumbled, “The beauty distracts.”
“…” Wei Zilin paused blankly at her words and later laughed out loud. His laugh came rumbling from deep within his throat before flowing out from his beautifully shaped lips. It was like a jade bell, a choral chant that echoed clearly in the air.
It rang across the air and headed straight for her ears, ringing like the light harmonic sound from a string instrument, flowing right into her ears. The strings were strung with such force that it made her ears go numb; It even itched a little as her whole body became weak at the sound.
A beautiful voice would haunt you for days on end.
Xu Moyan felt that that Wei Zilin’s laughter was just like this. It sounded better and more special than any musical instrument. It was truly an unforgettable voice that would make one hungry for it like a madman.
Wei Zilin kissed the corner of her lips and nuzzled her ears. “I’m telling the truth. I don’t want you to leave. I’m trying to slow things down because I don’t want to scare you away, but my instincts go crazy when we take it too slow.”
Xu Moyan’s palms burned at his words. She did not dare place them on his chest.
She felt that his coat was not thick enough to protect him from her burning palms.
However, Wei Zilin hugged her tightly in his arms and it made it impossible for her to move her hands.
“Don’t be scared. We won’t move too fast. I really cherish you, so, I won’t rush things. We will take it slow,” Wei Zilin whispered hoarsely and tensely into her ears. His claims of having urges were very real and were not just an attempt to gain her pity.
However, his tense voice made Xu Moyan feel very bad for him, though she could not say a word about it.
She understood that Wei Zilin cherished her as Xu Moyan felt the same way about him as well. Her arms reached up to his chest as she took the initiative to wrap them around his neck. Then, she closed her eyes as she lightly kissed him on the corner of his lips. She was shy about her actions as her lips quivered, and even though her eyes were closed, her eyelashes could not help trembling.
Wei Zilin did not want to let her go after seeing her this way. Thus, he pulled her closer into his arms as they continued embracing passionately. However, it did not seem enough to just exchange some kisses with her.
He pecked her on the lips and said, “Tomorrow Nan Jingheng will pass Qing Siyu’s dialogue to me. I’ll pick you up after work and we’ll go to my place. When I recorded my voiceover for ‘Massacre OL’, I didn’t go to the recording studio either. I’ve bought the recording equipment and installed them at home so that I could do all the voiceover work at home. Nan Jingheng is right. This isn’t like a film or television show whereby we need to match the lips of the characters for the voice over. This is why I just did the recordings at home. As long as the emotion is there, it will work fine. You can come over to my house tomorrow night and try it out.”
