Chapter 704: Chapter 702: How Many Did You Bring?
“No, just bare-faced,” Sally touched her own face.
Sun Ying leaned in for a closer look, indeed there were no traces of makeup, and she couldn’t help but admire, “Your skin is really nice, how old are you?”
“Eighteen,” Sally replied without hesitation.
Everyone asked her age would get eighteen, even if she were over ten thousand years old!
“No one believes you’re eighteen, but even I didn’t have such flawless skin at eighteen, not even a single mole. Your skin is delicate and immaculate, it’s simply stating the facts for you.”
“Beauty is just superficial; Sister Sun’s charisma and rich inner self are what truly matter. How long have you been in the entertainment industry?”
“I entered as a child star, it’s been twenty-seven years of struggles.”
“Wow! That’s impressive!” Sally exclaimed.
Sun Ying’s eyes showed a hint of hardship as she continued, “In this business of fame and profit, the survivors reign supreme. As long as you’re still here, you’re winning, it’s all a battle without visible bloodshed. Do you also want to enter this circle?”
“I don’t.”
“But I think you’re very talented. How about I recommend you to Director Jiang? He has a good script and is looking for a leading actress, many people want that role, and I think you are suitable.”
“Thanks, Sister Sun, but I’ll pass,” Sally politely declined.
To others, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Hua Siqi tried to please Sun Ying because of her good relationship with Director Jiang, all for getting this opportunity.
However, Sun Ying soon realized something and laughed, “Indeed, between Yan Ze and Director Jiang’s scripts, I’d choose the former too.”
Sally didn’t deny it; she was indeed here because of Yan Ze.
The staff knocked on the door, “Sister Sun, Sister Su, are you awake?”
Sun Ying looked at Sally.
Sally gave an OK sign and went to open the door.
…
Yan Ze, wearing a white sleeveless shirt and black casual pants, arrived at the racetrack cafeteria.
He Cheng yawned and said to Yan Ze, “Sleep isn’t sweet without a pet accompanying.”
Yan Ze, knowing they were being filmed, replied, “Your pet? That white cat?”
“…” He Cheng paused for a moment and vaguely responded, “Hmm. A completely white cat, very cute.”
It was a cover for his wild nightlife.
No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Sally holding a snow-white kitten arriving.
“Hi, gentlemen, good morning, here for breakfast too?”
Yan Ze was taken aback, not expecting Sally to return so soon.
He Cheng immediately widened his eyes, “Xue Baobao?”
“Xue Baobao? Nope~ This is my daughter Xiao Mumu… um, just found her outside, we’re really fated, right, Xiao Mumu?” Sally said, nuzzling Xiao Mumu with her nose.
Xiao Mumu closed her eyes in enjoyment, “Meow~”
“Such a sweetie!” Sally laughed.
“Can I… can I hold her?” He Cheng quickly came over, eyes fixated on Xiao Mumu.
Sally secured her daughter, “That won’t do.”
As she walked towards Yan Ze, she said to Xiao Mumu, “Say hello to Uncle Yan.”
“Meow~” Xiao Mumu obediently called out.
Yan Ze, putting on a pair of tea-colored sunglasses, looked at Xiao Mumu in Sally’s arms, realizing who it was, and smiled, “Come here, Xiao Mumu, let uncle hold you.”
Xiao Mumu looked at Sally.
Sally whispered, “Uncle Yan even gave you a full-moon gift.”
Xiao Mumu understood and jumped into Yan Ze’s arms, snuggling affectionately.
Yan Ze’s gaze instantly softened, but he soon felt an unfriendly stare directed at him.
Looking in the direction of the gaze, it was He Cheng.
He Cheng had indeed kept a pet cat, just as he had mentioned earlier, named Xue Baobao, which later escaped from home and never returned.
“This isn’t your Xue Baobao, this is Xiao Mumu, and she’s not an ordinary cat,” Yan Ze, holding Xiao Mumu, walked toward the order counter.
He Cheng followed closely, “I know it’s not Xue Baobao. Can I hold her?”
As he spoke, he stretched out his eager arms.
Yan Ze glanced at him, refusal!
This was Sally’s child, and he wasn’t the one to make that call.
Sally, having already ordered breakfast, casually took Xiao Mumu from Yan Ze’s arms, “You go ahead.”
Seeing He Cheng still staring intently at Xiao Mumu, she said with a smile, “If you can convince the director to let my Xiao Mumu appear on camera, I might let you hold her.”
“It’s a deal, just wait,” He Cheng immediately walked away.
Yan Ze carried two plates and placed them on the table, “This spot then.”
“Do you still have your golden grapes?” Sally pushed an empty plate toward him, her intention clear.
Yan Ze nodded, producing a bunch of golden grapes and two red pentagon-shaped fruits in his hand, “How many did you bring?”
Sally knew he was asking about how many children she brought.
She immediately revealed a set of pearly white teeth, “All here!”
The peanuts on Yan Ze’s chopsticks suddenly fell onto the table, rolling quite a distance with a rattle.
Sally ate one of the red pentagon-shaped fruits, and Xiao Mumu ate one too.
Counting the golden grapes, Sally found twenty, then looked at Yan Ze… the message was clear.
Yan Ze silently performed magic like before, producing another bunch and placing them on the plate.
Sally kept thirty and shared the remaining ten with Xiao Mumu.
Xiao Mumu was incredibly happy.
Moreover, she was also quite savvy, snuggling up to Yan Ze’s hand and rubbing it in thanks.
Yan Ze smiled wryly.
The other guests, arriving late.
Sally, Yan Ze, and Xiao Mumu had finished eating.
But the breakfast filming was just starting now.
Nian Fang also arrived, handing the script to Sally, along with notes to pay attention to.
Sally nodded, “Okay, got it. So it’s best to have some ambiguous scenes, like looking at each other affectionately while eating a bite of food, right?”
“Yes, Sister Su,” Nian Fang replied, then as if noticing for the first time, saw Xiao Mumu lying on Sally’s lap, exclaimed joyfully, “Oh, where did this kitten come from, how cute!”
“This is my daughter,” Sally stroked Xiao Mumu’s ears, “Say hello to Auntie Fangfang.”
“Meow~” Xiao Mumu obediently called out, then squinted her eyes, looking like she was about to fall asleep but not quite there.
Upon hearing Nian Fang’s voice, Hua Siqi also looked over, and immediately frowned, speaking to a staff member, “I’m allergic to cat hair, can we send it away?”
“That should be possible, I’ll go ask,” the staff member walked toward Sally.
Once Sally knew the purpose, she was about to answer when He Cheng came rushing over, shouting to Sally, “It’s settled, the director agreed to add a scene for Xiao Mumu, the scriptwriter is already working on it.”
Hua Siqi saw He Cheng and immediately wanted to greet him, but noticing that his eyes were only for Sally, her face turned somewhat sullen.
Sally was somewhat surprised, it was enough to have Xiao Mumu in the scenes while she held her, but now a script was specially being written, she laughed, “President He, I’m afraid that won’t work. Someone is allergic to cat hair, and they were just about to send Xiao Mumu away.”
“No, no, no, who’s allergic to cat hair?” He Cheng frantically looked around at everyone.
Hua Siqi stepped forward, “Me.”
He Cheng frowned, “Then you can drop out.”
