When Wen Ruoshui came over, the dining table was full of vegetables. A few of the dishes were personally cooked by Yan Yuanfei.
Everyone knew that he had made that dish, so they all persuaded Wen Ruoshui to eat it. Even Ling Sheng kept putting food into her bowl and said with a smile, âThis is made of black truffle. Doesnât it taste very fresh?â
âSheng Sheng, did you cook these dishes?â Wen Ruoshui looked at the bowl full of vegetables and asked her.
Ling Sheng was shameless. She hummed in agreement; she couldnât say that Second Uncle had cooked it. âAuntie Wen, if you like it, Iâll make it for you often in the future.â
Wen Ruoshui looked at the others present and said with a smile, âDidnât you guys taste anything special about these few dishes?â
âWhatâs so special about them?â Jun Shiyan replied when he saw that no one else was talking.
Wen Ruoshui smiled. âIt smells like Second Brother.â
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that everyone present had different expressions. She was increasingly certain of her guess deep within. Itâs him. It must be him.
On New Yearâs Eve, she had been accompanying the Yan familyâs auntie and grandmother to watch the Spring Festival Gala. She kept feeling that someone was staring at them, but when she looked over, there was nothing.
Old Fifth had also gone over that day. He said that he was accompanying them to watch the Spring Festival Gala, but God knows that he wasnât that sensitive? He was even accompanying them to watch the Spring Festival Gala?!
She felt suspicious. When Old Fifth left, she said that she wouldnât send him off, but she secretly followed him, afraid that she would be discovered so she stayed far away. When she went over, she only had time to see the back of a man in a wheelchair. When it flashed past, how could she not recognize the man who was so familiar that he had long been carved into her bones!
âReally?â Ling Sheng was very happy and extremely proud. âIt seems like Iâve inherited Second Uncleâs teachings!â
Huo Ci glared at her. Look at how happy she is. But why did Second Sister-in-law suddenly mention Second Brother?
Jun Shiyan frowned slightly, suspicion growing in his heart. Did she already discover something? No way. Why donât I feel any sense of familiarity when I eat Second Brotherâs food?
Nangong Lengyu knew that a womanâs sixth sense had no logic to speak of. She could just discover and know it. It seemed like she would have to talk to Second Brother in the future and tell him not to approach her anymore. He shouldnât even watch from afar anymore. She would discover it.
Ling Sheng had not expected that a proper Valentineâs Day, where she had initially planned to spend some alone time with Third Master. Then, she would sacrifice herself to see if she could awaken the slightest bit of his lost memories.
But who would have thought that their alone time would turn into a family gathering?
Halfway through the meal, Rong Yin came over with his wife and children too. Jiang Zhe also brought Tang Yu over after settling the matter over there. If Lu Yubai was in China, he would have definitely come too.
After Valentineâs Day, Ling Sheng was locked up at home again like a canary. Not only was she locked up at home to nurse her pregnancy, but she also had to eat various tonics every day.
The night before the Lantern Festival.
âDad, me! me!â Ling Sheng raised her hand and looked at Huo Ci with sparkling eyes. She had finally found an opportunity and was very enthusiastic. She hovered in front of him in an attempt to attract his attention and pointed at herself as she strongly recommended herself. âDonât choose anymore! Iâm the one. Me! I can do it. I can!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Huo Ci rolled his eyes at her, and his gaze landed on her stomach. âTake good care of your baby.â
Ling Sheng was about to die. She pretended to sob. âThe doctor said itâs already stable. Iâm not a porcelain doll either. I want to go. Look at the company. Other than me, no one else has a slot. Itâs all full. Itâs just me!â
Huo Ci was asking in the group chat. When he saw her hovering around like a ghost in front of him, he got annoyed and bellowed, âGet lost!â
Ling Sheng squatted beside him, supporting her chin with her hands as she looked at her father anxiously. What was meant by âone misstep leads to sorrow for a thousand yearsâ? She was the example. If the heavens gave her another chance, she would never do that again no matter what.
The director of Beijing Television Stationâs Lantern Festival Gala had called her father and said that a singer attending the event had gotten into a car accident. He wanted to borrow someone from him at the last minute to fill in the vacancy.
Her father was looking for someone, but the companyâs artistesâ schedules were all full, and they couldnât decline any one of the jobs. She was the only idle person squatting at the side, begging for opportunities and resources, yet her father still was unwilling to acknowledge her.
After searching for a long time, Huo Ci still couldnât find a suitable candidate. The companyâs artistes had all kinds of schedules that day, and they couldnât be pushed away. He contacted a few managers whom he had good relationships with, but the artistes under them didnât have time to attend either.
Even if he looked for more popular celebrities, like someone at Sheng Xichenâs level, Beijing Television Station would have to have enough influence too. Besides, he only owed them a tiny favor. At most, he would throw the stinky brat in his house to them to keep up with appearances.
âDad, Dad!â Ling Sheng ran over to massage his shoulders and was extremely solicitous. âMe! Look at me. I can do it. My last-minute adaptability is super strong. I can sing any song!â
Huo Ci asked, âDid the doctor really say that itâs stable?â
Ling Sheng nodded vigorously, her eyes brimming with tears of excitement. âThank you, Dad! Iâll definitely perform well!â
Huo Ci frowned. âDid I say you could go?â
It wasnât easy for Ling Sheng to get a chance, and she was so touched that her tears fell. Of course, she had to fight for her right. Otherwise, she would really get bored being shut at home, and grow mold. âDad, if youâre worried, Iâll get Mom to come with me tomorrow. She can just watch me from below the stage, okay? Itâll take at most four minutes to go on stage with just one song. What could happen?â
Huo Ci thought for a moment. âCall her. Weâll have a rehearsal in the morning, one in the afternoon, and the live broadcast is at night.â
Ling Sheng jumped straight up excitedly. After thanking him, she hurriedly called her mother.
At night, Nangong Lengyu came over and accompanied her to the rehearsal the next day. She carefully protected her like a treasure. The dress that was originally reserved for a gown.
Before going on stage, Nangong Lengyu placed a heat pack on Ling Shengâs stomach, legs, and arms. The temperature indoors was very low, so she was afraid that she would catch a cold.
When Si Chengluo passed by, he happened to see her. But he walked straight past without looking at her and didnât even greet her.
She refused to act in School Bully, and the reason the studio gave him was that her life was threatened by his fans. Song Yiyan gave the same reason.
The studio said that this excuse was also for his own good. It helped him draw fans due to pity and increase the current fansâ loyalty. At the same time, it also warned those self-righteous and crazy fans to behave themselves and not cause trouble.
Ever since then, the fansâ behavior improved a lot. They also started writing reflections and reflecting on themselves, apologizing to those female celebrities who had been scolded in the past.
But he wouldnât accept it. He definitely wouldnât accept it. He waited for her to explain it to him, but he hadnât seen her again since that day.
He didnât expect that he would have absolutely no place in her heart at all. He was so worthless that even calling him to tell him was just his own wishful thinking!
As Si Chengluoâs manager, Chen Nan had accompanied him here because he knew that Ling Sheng had also come to the Lantern Festival Gala. He was afraid that he would do something extreme again. When he saw that he did not stop when he passed by Ling Shengâs lounge, he finally felt relieved.
This ancestorâs career is currently on the rise, so he canât fall in love. Even if the partner he dates is the daughter of Big Boss and the movie queen, no can do! He hasnât transitioned yet, so heâs still an idol. Fans and popularity are the objective for an idol!
Chen Nan was replying to messages while sitting on the sofa. Suddenly, he saw Si Chengluo stand up and rush right out like a lunatic. He grabbed a staff member and asked, âWhereâs Ling Sheng?â
