Chapter 121 "Baby"

On Christmas Eve, the entire New York City was enveloped in a festive atmosphere. Amidst the ringing of camel bells, the first snow of 2016 belatedly arrived. The heavy snowfall in the sky covered the entire city with a silver dress. Under the moonlight, there is a quiet and peaceful beauty.

"Children, come to dinner." In the mansion, there were two Christmas trees hung with lights and bells in the spacious living room. There were piles of gift boxes next to the Christmas tree.

At the dinner table, Luo Ni had already prepared a sumptuous dinner for the family: roast suckling pig, roast ham, salmon, and roast turkey steaming under the light, exuding an alluring aroma.

In addition to the staple food, there are also quite a few drinks and desserts such as Christmas pudding, plums, mince pies, fruit cocktails, and milky mashed potatoes.

Luo Quan, who came downstairs, was shocked when she saw the delicacies on the table. She had never seen such a sumptuous dinner before. Leon, who was following her, was also impressed.

But after all, it is the most important festival in the West. No matter how sumptuous the food is, it is not an exaggeration.

This was also the first big meal for a family of four. Although it was not a five-star hotel or a Michelin restaurant, the skills of the chefs who made these dishes were no worse than those of the chefs in these high-end restaurants.

After a big meal, the family of four chatted and laughed. Eric drank a lot of wine during the meal. It was obvious that he was very happy.

Maybe it was because he was too drunk, Eric felt a little dizzy after eating, and Luo Ni quickly sent him back to the room.

Leon looked at his watch and said to Luo Quan, "I'm going to the new album release venue later. Do you want to go?"

"What am I going to do?"

"You are the main composer of the two title songs. As a rule, you have to show your face at this kind of scene."

Luo Quan thought there was nothing to do anyway, so it would be nice to go and have some fun.

"Do you need to put on makeup or change clothes or something?" Luo Quan asked.

Leon scratched his head: "It's not like walking on the red carpet, but if you want to change, it's not impossible. After all, a lot of media are coming tonight, so there's nothing wrong with dressing up."

Luo Quan smiled: "Forget it, I'm afraid I will steal your limelight."

After making up his mind, Luo Quan went upstairs to tell his mother about going out.

Luo Ni was quite worried at first. The United States was not as peaceful as at home, and New York was not peaceful at night. Many homeless people and potential criminals would wander the streets.

But I finally felt a little relieved when I heard that an agent would drive to pick them up.

"When you come back, bring more people with you if you can. It will be safer if you have more people." Even so, Luo Ni still told Luo Quan with a worried look on his face.

Luo Quan said with a relaxed look: "Don't worry, your daughter is not a flower vase. Two or three big men can't even get close to me!"

Even though he said this, Luo Quan was actually a little nervous in his heart.

After all, this is the United States, and guns are not allowed. Here, the possibility of a highway robbery criminal not carrying a gun is even lower than the possibility of a Chinese robber not carrying a knife.

Although she has some boxing skills, she is powerful enough to fight a gunman. If she doesn't control this thing well, her life will be lost.

That is to say, this is New York. If it were a place like Chicago or Detroit, Luo Quan would not dare to go out even if he died.

After going back to the room and changing into clean clothes and shoes, Luo Quan went downstairs.

"I thought it would take you half an hour to get down." Leon was surprised to see Luo Quan finished it so quickly. Doesn't it take an hour for girls to put on makeup and change clothes?

Luo Quan explained: "I don't know how to put on makeup, so I attend most occasions without makeup. What about you, don't you clean up your image?"

Luo Quan saw that Leon's hair was messy and his eyes looked a little tired from staying up late during this period.

Leon smiled proudly: "Melancholy and decadence are now popular in the United States, and my look is the favorite among girls."

Sure enough, mourning culture is very popular no matter where you are. Young people in China and Japan are also like this. The terms "dead house" and "waste" are no longer new.

The long-established classes have cut off the possibility of advancement for most people. The fast-paced life and heavy pressure make people breathless. Just surviving is already very tiring.

In such an environment, it is not surprising that mourning culture is popular.

Ten minutes later, Lyon's agent drove a black car and parked at the door of the mansion.

When he got to the car, Luo Quan saw that Lyon's agent was not much older than him, only in his early twenties at most, which was too young.

Seeing a girl following Leon, the agent said: "You must be Leon's sister, I am his agent Seifert."

"Hello, my name is Luo Quan."

"Luo... Quan?" Seifert read this somewhat awkward name, "Are you from China?"

"Yes." Luo Quan nodded.

Seifert cast a doubtful look at Leon.

Leon explained: "Luo Quan and I are half-siblings, and Luo Quan's mother is Chinese."

"Oh...that's it." Although this was explained clearly, Seifert was still a little confused.

Logically speaking, a mixed-race child should have the characteristics of both parents, but Luo Quan's appearance does not look any different from that of a white person, and does not look like a mixed-race child at all.

However, it was not easy for him to continue asking this kind of question.

Speaking of which, Luo Quan was actually confused about this question before, but she understood it after seeing her father.

She is also of mixed race. Eric has no Asian features at all. She still has black eyes. It can only be said that these are the genes she inherited from her father.

After driving for about ten minutes, the three of them arrived at the Manhattan Hotel in New York.

Tonight, Lyon's new album press conference will be held here. Unlike the Japanese entertainment industry, fans are usually not present at such press conferences. Basically, they are all media reporters.

As soon as Lyon's exclusive car arrived, reporters outside the hotel immediately gathered around him. Fortunately, Seifert reacted quickly and stepped on the brakes immediately, otherwise the press conference would have turned into a car accident.

"God, can't you wait until I park the car before you get in?!" Seifert shouted angrily as he rolled down his window.

The bodyguards arranged by the company also quickly gathered around and pushed aside all the reporters who were trying their best to squeeze in front of Lyon, leaving a path for him.

Leon opened the door and got out of the car with Luo Quan one after another.

The reporters obviously did not expect that Luo Quan would come with Leon. They all became as excited as sharks smelling blood and pushed forward desperately.

"Leon, is this your sister?"

"Leon, why did you bring your sister with you? Do you want to use your popularity to help her enter the American entertainment industry?"

"Leon, why have you never mentioned this sister before?"

"Is she really your sister?"

The questions are becoming more and more gossipy, and the direction is becoming more and more obvious, and there is some fear that the world will not be chaotic.

Luo Quan's face looked a little ugly. He was as dark as a crow in the world, and there were not many good ones among entertainment reporters.

Leon whispered to Luo Quan: "Ignore them. That's what reporters are like. They will die if they don't make a shocking statement."

Under the escort of bodyguards, the two entered the Manhattan hotel and quickly entered the elevator, leaving a group of reporters outside.

"Leon, remember what I told you before, don't keep a straight face when facing the camera, and have a softer expression." Seifert reminded Leon in the elevator.

Leon was helpless: "But I have this kind of character, and I'm not an actor. How can I just make whatever expression I want?"

"At least don't look so fierce. Many parents of fans have complained to you, saying that your expression is too fierce in front of the camera and can easily scare your children."

Leon said coldly: "That's their own problem. People nowadays always like to look for trouble!"

"By the way, you seemed to have said you were not an actor just now, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Seifert laughed and said, "I have good news for you. The company has decided to let you enter the film and television industry."

"WTf!" Leon couldn't help but cursed, and Luo Quan looked sideways, making him feel guilty.

"Ha, our little Leon is trying hard to maintain the image of a good boy in front of his sister, but her sister never knows how much Leon likes to talk dirty in private. WTF is as pure to him as the prayers in the Bible."

"Sefokang, don't you want your year-end bonus?" Leon gritted his teeth and stared at his economic manager who was hurting his friend.

Luo Quan smiled and said: "I finally understand why fans and parents complain that your expression is too fierce."

Leon quickly explained: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I never swear in front of the camera."

Seifert continued to complain: "The premise is that you know there is a camera pointed at you. Those paparazzi who secretly photograph you will not inform you that they are filming."

Luo Quan actually doesn't think it's okay to say bad words. She also said that although it was in the past, she has been very careful about her words and deeds since time travel. Although she has repeatedly confronted anti-fans on Weibo, she is basically yin and yang and has no culture. I really don't understand that she is swearing.

As for Lyon, who is a rapper in the world who doesn’t swear?

Luo Quan has listened to so many raps, and there are almost none that don't contain shxt, fxxk, and nixxer in the lyrics. Especially gangsta rap, all kinds of swear words are flying everywhere. Listening to the song is as exciting as listening to the American curse list.

Although Lyon is a slightly more serious hard-core rap, he still adds some swear words to his lyrics, whether to emphasize the tone or to rhyme.

There are so many civilized people in this world.

But now is the critical moment for him to establish his image and persona. A positive name is always better than a nickname like a bad-mouthed celebrity.

Luo Quan felt that he should remind him in private to control his emotions and language, at least when speaking, avoid using words starting with F or M.

Amidst a burst of joking, the elevator door opened, and the conference room in the hotel was ready for the launch.
