210: Baoqiang is a true winner in life!
Although she kept saying she didn't mind, in reality, it was impossible for her not to mind.
After all, she was also a person; even if she was blinded by love, she would definitely care.
However, when she saw Chen Le walk in, a smile immediately appeared on her face, replacing the gloom she had just moments ago.
At least she was still with Chen Le right now, so she immediately threw her recent unhappiness to the back of her mind.
People should always cherish the present. Strictly speaking, she was the third party; it was fine to feel a little jealous, but showing it would be pushing her luck.
Although she wanted to do that—to monopolize Brother Le—she couldn't.
The consequences were something she couldn't afford to bear.
"Naza, what's wrong? Why did you look so glum just now?" Chen Le asked doubtfully.
Naza's expression changed quickly, but it was still captured by his sharp eyes.
"Nothing, I just thought of something sad," Naza quickly waved her hand, making up a random excuse.
"What sad thing?" Chen Le asked curiously.
Hearing this, Naza froze. She hadn't thought about how to explain it at all.
Just then, Chen Le spoke again, "I almost forgot, this is your sad matter, I won't pry."
Seeing this, Naza breathed a sigh of relief... Meanwhile, at home, Wang Baoqiang received congratulations and blessings from people he knew, such as Huang Bo, Zhou Yiwei, Lin Jialong, and Bai Ke.
When they learned that Wang Baoqiang had once again received a nomination for an international film award for the movie *Hello, Mr. Tree*, they were extremely surprised.
At the same time, they were very impressed. Wang Baoqiang was going further and further, having already stepped out of the country and heading toward the international stage.
Wang Baoqiang was also very happy to receive congratulations from friends like Huang Bo.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, took out his phone, and found his parents' number.
He knew he had forgotten something; it turned out he had forgotten to share the good news with his parents.
He had been so happy these past two days that he had even forgotten this.
Subsequently, Wang Baoqiang dialed his mother's number.
Soon, the call connected.
"Baoqiang, why are you calling me so suddenly?" Wang Baoqiang's mother smiled widely when she saw the call was from Wang Baoqiang.
Now Wang Baoqiang was a big star, taking on many advertisements and variety shows, and earning a considerable amount of money.
Every month, he would send money to his parents, telling them to spend as much as they liked.
"Mom, I have some good news for you," Wang Baoqiang said with a smile.
"What good news?" Wang Baoqiang's mother immediately became curious upon hearing his words.
Wang Baoqiang was about to say he had won an award, but then he thought that his parents probably wouldn't understand such things, and it might not be particularly exciting news for them.
Then he suddenly remembered something and said with a laugh, "I have a girlfriend."
"You have a girlfriend? Is that true?" Wang Baoqiang's mother found her son's words unbelievable.
Immediately afterward, an expression of surprise and delight appeared on her face, unable to hide her excitement.
"His father! Baoqiang has a girlfriend!" she quickly shouted toward Wang Baoqiang's father, who was sitting by the door basking in the sun.
Hearing this, Father Wang immediately stood up, looking at her with an expression of disbelief. "What did you say?"
"Baoqiang has a girlfriend," Wang Baoqiang's mother repeated.
"Good boy! When did he start dating?" Father Wang said, his face full of pleasant surprise.
You have to understand, Wang Baoqiang was almost thirty, and he still hadn't had a girlfriend.
They were anxious about it, but they didn't want to pressure him.
Wang Baoqiang's older brother and sister already had children who were nearly starting primary school, yet he was the only one without a girlfriend, let alone married with children.
On the other side, Wang Baoqiang couldn't help but smile when he heard his parents' voices.
He hadn't told his parents about dating Li Xin, mainly because the two of them had only been together for a little over a year, and he wasn't sure if he should tell them yet.
But this year was different. He planned to take Li Xin home for the New Year, so telling them now was fine.
Although he had initially wanted to give his parents a surprise.
"A little over a year," Wang Baoqiang replied to his mother.
"Over a year? Why didn't you mention it during the New Year? You actually kept it from us," Wang Baoqiang's mother said with a tone of complaint.
"Mom, I just wasn't ready yet."
"Then why did you decide to tell us now?"
"Uh, actually, I plan to bring Xin Xin home for the New Year this year," Wang Baoqiang thought for a moment before answering.
"Bring her home? Are you serious?" Father Wang's voice suddenly rang out.
"It's true, Dad, don't get so excited," Wang Baoqiang said helplessly.
"Excited? How can I not be excited? You finally have a girlfriend! You must treat her well! You absolutely cannot bully that girl!" Father Wang said in an excited tone.
Currently, Wang Baoqiang was the only one in their family who wasn't married, so they took his marriage seriously.
As the youngest child in the family, even though their family life used to be very difficult, they still spoiled Wang Baoqiang greatly.
Whatever Wang Baoqiang liked, they fully supported.
Even when he spent so many years as an Extra actor, they still believed that he would succeed one day.
"I know, Dad," Wang Baoqiang said with a smile upon hearing his father's advice.
"Oh, right, Baoqiang, can you show us what the girl looks like? How old is she? What's her zodiac sign? Where is she from? How many people are in her family?" At this moment, Wang Baoqiang's mother suddenly spoke up, throwing a barrage of questions at him.
Hearing his mother's questions, he was completely stunned.
"Wait a minute, Mom, let me tell you slowly," Wang Baoqiang quickly interjected. He needed to sort out these questions.
"It's fine, you think about it first. Oh, right, are you living with the girl now? Can you let her chat with us?" Wang Baoqiang's mother continued.
"She lives with me now, she's right next to me," Wang Baoqiang replied.
Beside him, Li Xin blushed instantly when she heard Wang Baoqiang immediately reveal her presence.
"Do I really have to take it?" Li Xin mouthed.
Seeing this, Wang Baoqiang nodded.
Seeing this, Li Xin could only nod helplessly. Since she would have to meet her future in-laws sooner or later, she might as well interact with them now.
She then took the phone and sweetly called out, "Dad, Mom, I'm Xin Xin, Baoqiang's girlfriend."
When Wang Baoqiang heard Li Xin's words, his eyes widened instantly.
He hadn't expected Li Xin to call them 'Dad' and 'Mom' right away.
Now it was his turn to feel a little flustered.
"Xin Xin! Hello, hello." On the other end of the phone, Wang Baoqiang's mother beamed when she heard Li Xin's voice.
Father Wang, who was standing nearby, felt the same way. He really wanted to snatch the phone but was afraid of startling the girl.
