“Okay, no problem.”
Huo Erqi liked this sister-in-law very much. Of course, the one she still liked the most was little Ying Bao. She gave Ying Bao a cute little pendant as a present.
After hanging it around Ying Bao’s neck, she smiled as she asked, “Cherry, do you know what you should call me?”
“Baby knows! You’re my second auntie. Among my three aunties, you’re the most beautiful and the most capable auntie.”
Ying Bao was very clever. Two out of her three aunts were not here and that was why she could praise her second aunt boldly.
“Hahaha… you’re really too adorable, little cutie.”
The little girl’s mother had always told Huo Erqi over the phone about how the child was so clever at talking. When she interacted with her now, she realized that the little girl was extremely likable.
Huo Erqi picked up the child and gave her a peck on her face. She realized that children are not that terrible after all!
She and her husband Boris were DINKs. The couple had agreed not to have children, but now, when they saw Ying Bao, they felt an urge to change their minds.
At noon, Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen cooked together and made a hearty lunch. The whole family sat down to eat together, but only Huo Yijing and Huo Sanyan were not present.
Huo Yijing’s whereabouts were still not known for the time being. Huo Sanyan was clearly in Peijing, but she hadn’t been at home all day.
Chen Yunlu asked her son, “Didn’t you call your third sister to come home for lunch?”
Huo Yunshen shook his head. “Don’t mind her. If she wants to come back, she will come back naturally.”
He was implying that if she didn’t want to come back, you could keep calling her until the phone broke and she still wouldn’t come back.
That woman would follow behind Ye Xun everyday whenever she had free time. During the Chinese New Year, she insisted on staying at Ye Xun’s place. Her excuse was that she was afraid her Young Master Ye would be lonely.
After understanding the situation, Huo Erqi couldn’t help but remark, “Didn’t Huo Three-Eyes say that she would not marry?”
“That was a long time ago,” Huo Yunshen said.
“I really want to see who the hot guy is who could capture the heart of my third sis,” Huo Erqi said curiously.
“You have seen him before.” Huo Yunshen cleared his throat and said, “Do you still remember the man called Ye Xun from back at Grandpa’s birthday party? That’s him!”
“Oh, I remember! So he was that gayish pretty boy? I thought you and he were a couple that time,” Huo Erqi said without restraining herself, saying whatever came to mind.
Gayish?
Pretty boy?
He and Huo Yunshen… a couple?
Those words almost made Xu Xiyan choke. Don’t tell her that when she had disguised as “Ye Xun” that time, she had given off an impression of a gay man?
Huo Yunshen did not answer. Instead, he snuck a look at his wife and thought: We were indeed a pair, anyways.
The family chatted as they ate. Huo Erqi praised Xu Xiyan for her great cooking. She was supposed to be on a diet but she ended up eating a lot.
They had an enjoyable lunch. In the afternoon, Huo Yunshen took up the responsibility of looking after the child at home as Xu Xiyan had to go to Jingyue Entertainment. Xiao Yuqian had wanted to see her because she wanted to discuss some matters related to the Golden Goose Film Festival with her.
Xiao Yuqian had received a nomination notice from the Golden Goose Film Festival committee, announcing that Jing Xi had been nominated for the Golden Goose Newcomer Award for the film “Root of Evil.”
Xu Xiyan did not expect that she would be nominated at all. It could be said that all her hard work in the past was not in vain.
After that, Xiao Yuqian and Xu Xiyan discussed work arrangements for after the Chinese New Year.
Due to the success of several previous films, there were many new film productions who wanted to invite Xu Xiyan to participate in their films. Xiao Yuqian had initially screened a few offers herself, and those remaining had good scripts.
“Take a look and see which ones you’re interested in.”
