âBecause I was already very busy, I canceled all my social engagements.â
Han Zhuoling said, âTherefore, I can come over every day. Donât worry. It will be just like the time when you were still in Wu Mosenâs crew.â
Hearing this, Shi Xiaoya felt really happy.
âLetâs not turn off the light tonight.â Shi Xiaoya felt a little tired. However, after hearing the conversation between Lu Man and Xie Jiling, Shi Xiaoya thought that it wouldnât be safe to turn off the light.
âSure.â Han Zhuoling agreed without any hesitation.
He could sleep with the lights on anyway.
As long as Shi Xiaoya could sleep well, everything was good.
With Han Zhuoling being there, Shi Xiaoya felt really safe. She happily lay in Han Zhuolingâs arms and slept.

At this moment, the second female lead of Han Zhuofengâs movie, Xiao Fengqing, was staying in room 602.
The female lead of this movie was Yan Zhiqing. The second female lead was supposed to be Lu Man.
It wasnât because Lu Man couldnât be the female lead of this movie. Out of consideration that she had just given birth, Han Zhuofeng decided that Lu Man couldnât take on a role with too many scenes.
However, Han Zhuofeng had forgotten about the fact that Lu Man would be breastfeeding her babies.
In addition, her month of confinement would have just ended. It wouldnât be suitable for her to be too tired.
This movie has high requirements with regard to the actorâs physical strength.
Lu Manâs month of confinement had just ended. If she had to deal with physically demanding scenes, there might be consequences.
If there were consequences, Han Zhuofeng wouldnât be able to explain himself to the other family members.
Therefore, at the very last minute, he changed Lu Manâs role and gave her a cameo role instead.
He then searched for another person to play the role of the second female lead.
And that person was Xiao Fengqing.
Xiao Fengqingâs ranking in the entertainment industry was slightly awkward.
She debuted as a child actress. However, her acting skill wasnât very stable. Depending on the director, she could show good acting skills at times and bad acting skills at times.
If the director were capable enough and could teach her well, she would show very good acting skills.
However, if she were to figure it out herself, she would do a bad job.
When she was a kid, the audience didnât care if her acting skills were slightly awkward.
However, it wouldnât be good if it was still the same when she was already an adult.
And this was why the audience kept complaining about her.
In addition, Xiao Fengqing kept sculpting her public image as a popular star and kept taking on stupid and sweet roles in stupid dramas that selected actors based solely on their popularity.
Her awkward acting skills and the awkward storyline were criticized heavily by the audience.
In summary, Xiao Fengqing just had a good-looking face.
The weird thing was that Xiao Fengqing was not crazily beautiful in the past.
However, in the eyes of ordinary people, she was good-looking. If not, she wouldnât have been able to get a role in a drama that cast actors based on their popularity.
However, in the entertainment industry, where beautiful ladies were as many as the clouds in the sky, she didnât stand out in this competition.
She wouldnât be the weakest. However, she would just be considered mediocre.
But for some reason, Xiao Fengqing started appearing prettier and prettier.
Her beauty wasnât the kind that was done through plastic surgery.
If a person were to do plastic surgery, no matter how crazy the reason they gave, such as the makeup style or changes in bone structures due to agingâ¦
Those reasons would all be considered fake.
People could still tell with just a glance.
However, Xiao Fengqing was different.
She didnât do plastic surgery.
Her nose still looked the same.
Her eyes still looked the same.
Her mouth was still that same mouth.
Her chin was still that same chin.
She didnât even shave her jawbone to change her jawline.
Her brows had been changing with the trending makeup style these past two years, but those were her eyebrows.
But for some reason, she just started looking prettier and more attractive.
Her appearance and her expression just looked more and more charming.
Some netizens suspected that she had done plastic surgery to make herself look prettier and prettier.
However, plastic surgery was more difficult for child actors because the audience had watched them grow up.
Everyone knew what a child actor looked like from the beginning until the end of their career.
After all, there would be many pictures of them.
You could search for so many stage photos of them online.
Therefore, some netizens looked for Xiao Fengqingâs stage photos in the past.
TV shows today only started using filters about two years ago.
However, the TV shows in the past didnât have filters. It wouldnât make the actorsâ skin fairer and clearer. It would show the actorsâ actual skin color plus makeup.
If you zoomed in, you would be able to see the actorâs pores and blackheads.
Some netizens compared the stage pictures from the past with current pictures.
Xiao Fengqing just looked fairer than before.
Her features didnât change much.
There were changes to the width of her double eyelid crease, but her eye shape remained the same. She didnât get an epicanthoplasty.
Her nose bridge didnât become higher. Her nose didnât become smaller. Her nose didnât look sharper.
Her jawline didnât look sharper as well.
No matter how they compared, her features and face shape looked the same.
However, the strange thing was that Xiao Fengqing just looked much better.
No one could figure out why.
Because Xiao Fengqing looked much better, she was able to get different types of roles.
In the past, she could only play the innocent-looking girl next door in dramas.
But now, she was able to take on the role of a beautiful and charming woman as well as the role of a strong female lead loved by many men.
She could play the role of a beautiful agent.
Compared to the female lead, the second female lead was more of an eye candy in Han Zhuofengâs movie.
The second female lead didnât need to have really good acting skills.
In addition, Xiao Fengqingâs pay wasnât high. She had never been cast in a movie before so she wanted to get more experience by acting in a movie.
Xiao Fengqing was also supported by a CEO, so she was able to join the crew with investments, reducing Han Zhuofengâs financial stress.
In addition, Han Zhuofeng was supported by the Han Family, so he wasnât worried that Xiao Fengqing might demand more screen time because she had invested in the movie.
That wouldnât work for Han Zhuofeng.
And so, Han Zhuofeng very happily welcomed Xiao Fengqing on set.
At this moment, Xiao Fengqing had just taken a shower and had changed into her pajamas. Currently, she was doing her nighttime skincare routine.
When she was done, she started admiring her own beauty in the mirror.
It was true that she was looking prettier and prettier.
However, it had nothing to do with plastic surgery.
The netizens didnât know about this, but Xiao Fengqing knew.
She had invited a fox spirit.
She had gained such fame at a young age and was under a lot of stress. In addition, there were too many child actors who were trying to make a living in the entertainment industry.
In the past, child actors who didnât grow up pretty would end up not being able to stay in the entertainment industry. However, it was different now.
Today, even if child actors grew up not to be as good-looking as they had been when they had been a kid, they could change it with aesthetic medicine and technology.
In addition, there were many who had been pretty since young.
The fame they had built since young and the sense of familiarity created by constantly being in the spotlight wouldnât just disappear like the fireworks in the sky.
The marketing was done well.
Once child celebrities became old enough, they would be a stronger competitor.
Xiao Fengqing was not the most excellent one here, so she was under a lot of pressure.
Movies often hired other people.
She couldnât win against others who normally take on similar roles as her.
As for the opportunity to become a fashion brand ambassador, brands didnât like her because she looked sweet and innocent.
This was especially true when high-end brands preferred looks that were bold and imposing.
They didnât think her innocent and sweet face could be imposing.
As for acting opportunities, there were many actors and child actors competing with her.
