Shocked, Huo Yunshen quickly withdrew his hand and Xu Xiyan got up in a fluster and turned to look at the door.
Ying Bao was carrying a Minnie Mouse doll as she walked in. She tilted her head as she looked at the two adults in the room, “Xi Baby, what game are you both playing?”
Err…
“I was treating Uncle Dimples’ sickness!” Xu Xiyan explained with a poker face. There was no way she was going to tell her daughter that they had almost “played” something unspeakable.
“Oh. Hurry up then! So Uncle Dimples can recover soon!”
The little girl climbed onto the bed and sat with them. They did not dare to do anything indecent with the little spotlight shining onto them.
Xu Xiyan touched her hot cheeks with the back of her hand, then began to focus on treating Huo Yunshen with acupuncture.
After she was done and let Huo Yunshen have his rest, Xu Xiyan took Ying Bao back to her apartment to wash up and relax.
Ying Bao lay in her mother’s arms as she remembered something. “Xi Baby, Baby remembered something very very important. Do you want to hear it?”
“Of course!”
“Xi Baby, Auntie Orange signed Baby up for a talent contest. If Baby can win the grand prize, Baby will get a 100,000 Yuan cash prize.”
“100,000 Yuan?”
Xu Xiyan vaguely remembered that Fang Xiaocheng had sent a message to her a few days ago about the children’s talent contest, saying that Ying Bao wanted to participate, and that she had agreed at the time.
“Yup! If Baby can win the grand prize, then we will have lots and lots of money. Xi Baby won’t have to work so hard anymore and Baby will be able to buy the best daddy soon!” The little girl’s big black eyes sparkled brightly, her innocent little face filled with confidence.
“Okay then, Xi Baby hopes that you can win the grand prize.”
Xu Xiyan had long ago discovered that Ying Bao had a natural desire for self-expression, and that she should cultivate her daughter’s talents in this aspect. So she had encouraged her daughter to participate in the talent competition.
“Thank you, Mommy, but one of the segments of the talent competition requires a parent-child team. Will you perform together with Baby?” Ying Bao shook Xu Xiyan as she asked. Her eyes were desperate yet full of expectation.
Xu Xiyan could not be seen with her daughter because she was afraid that it would create more scandals. But seeing the little girl’s pitiful eyes, she could not bear to refuse her. “Of course, Xi Baby would be honored to have the opportunity to perform with the little princess.”
“Oooh! Great! Great! Great! Baby is going to perform with Mommy!”
“Okay, you should go to bed early. Mommy will send you back tomorrow morning. Good night, Baby.”
“Good night, Mommy.”
Ying Bao closed her eyes, a smile lingering on her face.
Thinking about their coming performance together, Xu Xiyan logged on to the official website of the talent competition with her mobile phone. She looked through Ying Bao’s contestant profile and noted several important times.
She had a general idea of the contest program and the kind of preparations she had to make. What Xu Xiyan needed to think about now was: what kind of parent-child performance should she do with Ying Bao?
As she pondered, she fell asleep.
…
The night was quiet. Some were having good dreams, but some had no intentions of sleeping.
In a luxurious studio apartment, Huang Yanran had just taken a shower and was preparing to apply a facial mask. The phone by her side rang and she saw it was her assistant, He Liang. She quickly put down the facial mask and picked up the phone.
He told her on the phone about what had happened at the set of “Root of Evil.”
“Yanran, I’ve already investigated internally. There was an incident on the set. Director Peng covered up the news…”
