Chapter 220 Extra: Children ~Since growing up, Gao Chengyue has forbidden everyone from calling him Cake Ball anymore, but his parents and Aunt Yun's family still like to call him Cake Ball as always, which annoys him to no end. Gradually, he just lets them be.Little Moon was different; she always liked to sweetly call him "Pretty brother..."Indeed, Gao Chengyue's appearance can be described as handsome, but he is not the kind of person who looks effeminate. He hates it when people describe him as handsome, but when Little Moon calls him handsome brother, he doesn't say anything and is actually quite happy to do so."Tsk tsk... Beauty Yang, look at your eldest son, he's such a hypocrite. He won't allow anyone to say he's pretty, but he really enjoys my Little Moon calling him 'pretty brother'...""Isn't it good that he only dotes on Little Moon?"Yang Qingqing was overjoyed. If she could bringLittle Moon back as her daughter-in-law in the future, she would wholeheartedly support it."Be careful not to let my Duan Xingye hear this, or Cake Ball will never be allowed in our house again.""What can't I hear?" Duan Xingye suddenly appeared and asked with a half-smile."Hehe...Why are you back?""Dad..." Little Moon, who was watching her two older brothers play chess, heard her father's voice, looked up, and happily flew over like a butterfly.Duan Xingye smiled and opened her arms to catch her little one, saying, "Don't run so fast next time, what if you fall?""Dad, I just missed you so much! I won't do it again."Duan Xingye smiled helplessly. She was just like her mother, saying she wouldn't do it again, but she would do it again next time."Look at your Regiment Leader Duan, I can already foresee the difficulties my son will face in pursuing his wife..."Yun Ting chuckled after hearing this, agreeing with it.Little Moon looks a lot like Yun Ting; you can tell at a glance that she's her daughter. Duan Xingyedotes on her like a precious jewel, unable to bear seeing his daughter suffer any injustice. At the same time, he doesn't really neglect his son either, showing him the same love and care. However, he always felt that male childrenshouldn't be spoiled too much. Fortunately, his son has been sensible and self-disciplined since he was little, so there's no need to worry about him going astray.Little Moon showed a talent for acting from a young age, and she really enjoyed it. Whenever she watched TV, she would try to act along, and she did a great job.Actually, Yun Ting wasn't initially keen on her daughter learning acting. Her daughter had been pampered by her family since childhood and was very naive. Although she was clever, she didn't want her precious daughter to jump into the entertainment industry, which she considered a cesspool.Unfortunately, Child really liked it, and Duan Xingye, the father, couldn't bear to see his precious daughter sad, so he made the decision to let her study acting and become a star. With him protecting her, he wouldn't let anyone bully her.Yun Ting thought about it and realized it was true. With her family's connections and influence, why would she be afraid of her daughter being bullied?So, he let her pursue her dreams.Little Moon is really serious. Although she is studying acting, she has not neglected her academic studies and her grades are always among the best.At the age of eight, she starred in her first film, "The Copper Bell Under the Locust Tree".When her acting teacher took her to audition, she appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually a little nervous inside.In the audition room, the director was rubbing his temples and flipping through the script when he caught sight of Little Moon, who had been brought in by Teacher Tong, and suddenly stopped.The director frowned. This little girl looked like she had been pampered at home and had the air of a rich young lady. The character Ya Dan in the play is a left-behind child living in a rural area in northern China. Her parents work away from home, and she lives with her elderly grandmother.He shook his head. How could a girl from a wealthy family possibly portray the image of a child from a poor family?Teacher Tong was an old acquaintance of his, so he couldn't refuse her. He decided to let her give it a try." Director Jin, trust me, let her give it a try, you won't regret it.""Oh? You should know about this role in the play. Do you think she's suitable?""Acting isn't about whether a person resembles the character in the play, but rather, whether they can bring the character to life, isn't that right?""Haha...that's right, then I'll wait and see."He looked at Little Moon, who wasn't timid at all. She grinned and politely said, " Director Jin,hello! My name is Duan Qinghe."Director Jin suddenly realized that this little girl was quite likable."Haha, hello little girl, I'll give you a chance, but if you don't satisfy me, I won't use you. Don't cry then.""I will definitely not let you down.""Okay, let's begin!"Before she came, Teacher Tong had already given her a general overview of the play and the character. Now, it was up to her to figure it out herself."Girl, are you ready?""Ready..."The little girl was smiling, but when the camera focused on her eyes, the smile transformed into the grievance and stubbornness that the character should have. Her clear eyes were likestars immersed in well water.Her lips were pressed into a tight line, tears welled up in her eyes but didn't fall, and her crisp voice carried a stubbornness: "I want to go find her myself. Grandma said that when the bell rings, Mom will hear it."Director Jin, whose expression had been relaxed and casual, suddenly froze, utterly shocked. "So alike...so alike, like Ya Dan straight out of the play..."After Little Moon finished her audition, Director Jin excitedly exclaimed, "You're the one, girl, haha..."Little Moon was overjoyed and went home to tell everyone. Her family members all praised her for being so great, and the little girl's smile never faded all night.Little Moon was very serious during filming, and she could portray the feeling after the director told her only once, which made Director Jinsecretly sigh that he had found a gem.No one expected that this low-budget children's film would become a hit at the end of the year.On posters in major cinemas, Little Moon's image in a coarse cloth jacket is enlarged, with a dense crowd of moviegoers below.Throughout the streets and alleys of Capital City, everyone is talking about the little girl from the movie.Little Moon became an instant hit.However, she did not become arrogant or complacent because of this. She continued to study hard and improve herself. Later, she starred in many movies and TV series, which were all very well received....Just like Cake Ball, Little Star also forbade people to call him Little Star when he grew up.However, knowing that he couldn't change it, he compromised by dropping the "Little" part and claiming that he had grown up.His family was both amused and exasperated, so they gave in to him.He had no interest in business at all, which initially pleased Duan Xingye, whose son was just like him and was following the same path.Although the brat was willing to train in the military for a few years, he didn't join the army. Instead, he went into politics, which no one expected except Yun Ting.Yun Ting was revealed to her by her own son beforehand.This kid looks like his dad, but he's colder and more cunning. Yun Ting thinks he'd be well-suited for a political career.Yun Ting sighed, "The vast empire I conquered! And yet, no one is there to inherit it...""Mom, come on! You always hire people to manage things, when have you ever done anything yourself? Just lie there and count the money, don't worry about anything! Go and cuddle with your husband!"Star spoke to his mother in a very serious tone." Star, how did you manage to say that so seriously?""Mom taught me well.""Don't wrong me..."...Star is a very indifferent person, and he doesn't have any female children around him. He seems to have no interest in matters between men and women.Yun Ting even suspected that he might be attracted to men.Especially Cake Ball, with whom he grew up. Although Star dislikes people touching or pulling him, he doesn't seem to resist when Cake Ball puts his arm around his neck or shoulders.Yun Ting is particularly terrified by this..."Son, tell me, do you like Cake Ball? Although I'm not as old-fashioned as some people, if… you two get together, what will happen to your sister?"Duan Qingyan's face darkened. "Mom, have you been watching too many TV dramas? My sexual orientation is perfectly normal. Who would like that annoying guy? Didn't Dad tell me to keep an eye on him and not let him steal my sister away?"He's truly exhausted... bearing burdens he shouldn't have to bear...Cake Ball has a rather unconventional personality, which puzzled Yun Ting. How could such a cool and aloof goddess like Beauty Yanghave such a personality as her son? Could it be that his father is like that?Gao Xudong doesn't usually show his true colors, but in private, when he's with Duan Xingye, the two grown men become quite childish, and they still are after all these years.Cake Ball is very interested in doing business, probably due to strong genes. Both Gao Xudongand Yang Qingqing are passionate about business, and their son has naturally inherited that trait.Despite his cheerful and lively personality, he doesn't seem very mature.He was just as capable in business as his parents.He has been very attached to Little Moon since he was a child, and he still is now an adult. Little Moon likes to act, so he invests in her projects, since he has plenty of money.It's fair to say that Little Moon doesn't need her mom to invest any money in her resources; Cake Ball has taken care of everything.Although the two have bickered and argued since childhood, they have always cared about each other deeply.So, they naturally ended up together.Although Duan Xingye had been on guard since childhood, how could she possibly prevent this? Although she was unhappy, she was actually quite satisfied with this son-in-law.The main reason is that he dotes on his daughter wholeheartedly, and for that reason alone, he has no reason to stop her.Duan Xingye retired from the military at the agreed time, at the age of forty-five. He had accomplished all his ambitions and aspirations. In the future, there will be many more people like him who will shine for the country. In the time to come, he only wants to spend time with his beloved wife and travel all over the country together.
