No matter how much Xiaoqi acted coquettishly or begged, his grandfather wasn’t willing to bring him to partic.i.p.ate in the program. He lowered his head resentfully and prepared to think of other ways. Uncle Yu Zheng video called him and said that he had the talent to be a hacker. He went to ask Uncle Yu Zheng if being a hacker could earn him money.
“Wait a minute.” Seeing that the rascal was about to leave, Huo Ci stopped him. “What’s your grandma doing recently? Why isn’t she here to see you?”
Xiaoqi scratched and shook his head. His originally crisp voice became m.u.f.fled. “Xiaoqi doesn’t know.”
“If you can get your grandma to partic.i.p.ate in the show with us, I’ll take you there,” Huo Ci added nonchalantly.
Xiaoqi jumped up happily. His eyes were sparkling and he regained his enthusiasm. “Grandpa, is what you said true?”
Huo Ci scoffed and knocked his head. “When have I ever lied to you?”
Ling Sheng had been very busy these two days. Initially, she had thought that she could rest for two days before the new male lead a.s.sumed his role in ‘Brilliant’. However, she had not expected that L-Star’s related work would start now. As the global spokesperson, she had been shooting advertis.e.m.e.nts one after another. Judging by their progress, they wanted to finish filming within these two days.
The cameramen and the advertising team were all of the highest standards in the world. They strived for perfection in their filming. If there was even the slightest flaw, they would have to start all over again. It was even more tiring than when she was filming movies and television dramas. However, it was her own company, so of course she had to shoot her best.
It was already one in the afternoon by the time they finished what was planned in the morning.
Nangong Lengyu was the executive producer, so she was the one in charge of all the filming this time. She was also the strictest and had the most professional requirements. During the filming, she was scrupulous in separating work from private matters. She would definitely not bring her personal feelings into work.
Naturally, Ling Sheng felt the same way. It was precisely because this was her own family’s company and that the person in charge was her mother that she was even more serious during filming. She definitely would not let her family look bad in front of outsiders. Work is work, and it definitely should not involve personal feelings, which would make her seem unprofessional.
The directors and staff of the photography team, as well as the advertising team, had worked with her all year round. Everyone knew the temper of the fashion world’s Queen Ella. Her work att.i.tude was extremely strict and at times fastidious. All the artistes who had collaborated with her before had experienced her professional and perfectionist att.i.tude.
The media had interviewed the artistes who had worked with her before. Many of them said that it was a very enjoyable yet excruciating process that allowed them to grow quickly. They looked forward to the next collaboration and hoped that they are able to follow in her footsteps.
The staff members were very satisfied and impressed with Ling Sheng’s performance over the past two days. The two of them had the same att.i.tude towards work and cooperated seamlessly, making them feel that they were indeed mother and daughter.
“Alright, we’ll stop here for this morning. Thank you for your hard work.” Nangong Lengyu clapped her hands to stop the work. She walked to Ling Sheng’s side and patted her shoulder, but there were no emotions on her beautiful face. She merely said, “Let’s go eat!”
Ling Sheng nodded and agreed. She saw that her mother had already taken her camera and left in a hurry, while rubbing her temples.
Now, she could finally see how her mother’s stomach had become like this. The high-intensity work, the meticulous pursuit of perfection, and the irregular working hours were definitely the culprits behind her health problems.
That’s right.
Her mother was a workaholic. She did not care about her life when she worked!
The filming location was in an abandoned factory in the suburbs. The morning filming took a long time, and the weather had not turned hot yet. The bento boxes were already cold, and the staff were distributing bento boxes.
Ling Sheng went over to take two boxes before going to look for Nangong Lengyu. She touched the cold bento box and frowned before turning back. There were no issues with her eating this since she was in good health, but her mother should not eat it. She looked outside but did not see the person she was looking for and thought it was strange.
Something was not right. For the past two days, the Third Master had sent every meal on time. When he was not busy, he would come personally. If he was busy, he would ask An Yan and Xu Xi to send it over. Why did he not come today?
Outside, someone let out a cry of surprise. Immediately after, someone called for Movie King Huo to come over with a food trolley.
Ling Sheng looked over and saw a man in an army green trench coat. He had a tall figure and exuded an air of n.o.bility. In the crowd, he was like a shining star. There was a gentle and refined smile on his handsome face as he talked to the staff around him.
She looked at the bento box in one hand and the little kid in the other. He was also wearing a slim-fit army green trench coat and was so cute and handsome. He was her son.
In an instant, she understood. It wasn’t that the Third Master didn’t want to come over, but that her father must have informed the Third Master that he was coming over. The Third Master couldn’t steal his father-in-law’s limelight, so he didn’t come over.
Huo Ci was surrounded by many people. There were people asking for autographs and photos.
Zuo Ming was in charge of maintaining order. The core team in charge of filming was specially invited by Ms. Nangong. The rest of the non-essential staff were all temporary workers, so they were naturally excited to see Movie King Huo.
Someone asked a question that many people wanted to ask but did not dare to. “Brother Ci, are you here to see Sheng Sheng or the Movie Queen?”
Huo Ci smiled and asked instead of answering, “What do you think?”
The netizens laughed kindly and started to gossip. The Movie King must have come to see his daughter and the mother of his daughter. They just didn’t know when the Movie King would get back together with the Movie Queen. They were all waiting for the good news!
When Ling Sheng walked over, she coincidentally heard her father say, “What are you talking about?” His smile was warm and gentle, but his words contained too much ambiguity, causing her to be lost in her thoughts. She thought to herself, how could he be so kind as to come and see her? He was just using her as an excuse to visit her mother.
Xiaoqi let go of his grandpa’s hand and ran toward her. “Mommy, have you eaten?”
Ling Sheng picked up her son and gave him an intimate kiss before carrying him back. “Mommy will be eating soon, I am waiting for you and your grandpa.”
“Where’s grandma?” Xiaoqi leaned close to her ear. “Grandpa said that grandma’s stomach isn’t good, so he cooked porridge for the whole morning and even brewed some stomach medicine. Do you smell Chinese medicine on Xiaoqi?”
Ling Sheng sniffed and shook her head with a smile. There was only the fragrance of milk mixed with her father’s favorite perfume, but not the smell of Chinese medicine. “No, you smell good.”
“Xiaoqi smells good.” Xiaoqi smelled himself and smiled. He leaned into Ling Sheng’s arms and took a big breath.. “Mommy smells good too.”
