After the party ended, some guests had to leave in a hurry to attend other engagements, so Nanqu took out the gifts she had prepared and gave them to everyone.

Zhuang Shi looked at the small wooden figure holding a microphone, which bore a resemblance to himself, and couldn't help but feel a fondness for it.

"If you brought a gift, why are you only taking it out now?"

Nan Qu said with a smile, "Because we didn't know who the other guest would be besides me when we were preparing, it would have been better to prepare Luo Kechen and Shan Yuwen's guest together before sending them off. But we were too busy and didn't have time, so we had to postpone it until now."

Hearing Nan Qu say this, not only Zhuang Shi, but also the other guests looked at Nan Qu in disbelief.

Cao Lan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Did Xiao Qu carve this wood carving herself?"

Nan Qu smiled and said, "It's just a little trinket, nothing special."

Bi Xiangqiang couldn't help but say, "This is incredible! This wood carving is so lifelike; it would take years of experience to make it."

No one doubted whether what Nan Qu said was true, because even if they were to buy it, it was impossible for Luo Kechen and Shan Yuwen to get it right now.

Afterwards, the production team left staff here, and the guests will return to the rented courtyard with the production team.

As for the demolition here, we need to discuss it with the village.

However, the village's leaders and cadres have all been invited for tea, and it is unclear what will happen next.

Just as Nan Qu was talking to everyone, she heard a familiar child's voice calling, "Mommy!"

Nan Qu smiled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Nan Xing running towards her.

Everyone around looked at Nanxing.

After seeing that Nanxing was calling out Nanqu, everyone looked at Nanqu with different expressions.

Xu Zhurui, in particular, performed exceptionally well in the Southern Songs today, completely overshadowing Xu Zhurui.

Although Nan Qu debuted later than her, she had to admit that Nan Qu was undeniably incredibly talented. Competing for resources with someone like that made Xu Zhurui feel the pressure.

But now that Nanqu has a child, things are different.

She was only 22 years old and had never been married. Her circumstances were naturally much better than Nan Qu's. A woman who had been married and had children certainly couldn't compare to her.

Faced with everyone's curiosity, Nan Qu was quite frank: "This is my son, named Nan Xing. I'm divorced, and the child lives with me."

Zhuang Shi suddenly imagined that Nan Qu's reason for re-entering the entertainment industry might be that she couldn't make ends meet. Thinking about Nan Qu's miserable life, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"If you need help, please don't hesitate to ask."

Nan Qu smiled and thanked Zhuang Shi. Only then did she realize that Su Ruoyan was not present. After greeting everyone, Nan Qu asked Nan Xing:

Where is Uncle Su?

Nanxing pointed to the mountain: "My uncle said he had something to talk to, and after seeing me come over here, he went over."

Nan Qu understood and wasn't worried that Nan Xing would be in danger if he came alone. The streetlights were bright, and the police around hadn't left yet, so no one would want to cause trouble for themselves at this time.

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you come to see your mother?"

Nanxing shook her head: "Mom is busy at night."

Nan Qu patted Nan Xing's head: "Let's go, help Mom pack her things, we'll go back to the hotel."

Nanxing nodded and obediently followed Nanqu onto the deck.

At this moment, in the orchard on the mountain, the army that had come to help was preparing to line up and leave.

Shen Yiyan watched the figures approaching from afar and calmly said to the team leader, "Form up and return to the unit!"

Watching the team leader lead the group away, Shen Yiyan walked towards the figure in the shadows.

The moment he saw Su Ruoyan, Shen Yiyan instinctively saluted: "Captain!"

Su Ruoyan smiled and said, "I've already retired from the military, I'm no longer your captain."

Shen Yiyan insisted: "You will always be my captain!"

Su Ruoyan ignored his persistence and simply said, "Thank you for today."

Shen Yiyan had been incredibly curious for a long time: "Captain, who exactly is that Nan Qu to you?" There was no way around it; when the captain was in the army, he had never been so concerned about anyone. Even after he retired, they would still keep in touch from time to time, but he had never been so attentive to anyone before.

Su Ruoyan couldn't help but feel helpless at Shen Yiyan's curiosity: "Employer! I'm working as a nanny at her house now."

Shen Yiyan thought he had misheard and was completely dumbfounded: "Huh? Become a nanny? Captain, your company went bankrupt?"

Since Shen Yiyan was trustworthy and knew some of what happened back then, Su Ruoyan didn't hide anything from him: "No, Nan Qu is Gu Hancheng's ex-wife, and she is also investigating what happened back then."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yiyan's expression turned serious. Recalling Nan Qu's performance on stage and her appearance in front of the village chief of Wushan Village, he couldn't help but frown: "Captain, this woman seems unusual. How much do you know about her?"

Su Ruoyan couldn't help but smile when she thought of Nan Qu. Although she was very wary, she always tended to overlook the cameras.

"Hmm, I understand fairly well. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. We can talk again when you're on vacation. This is my current address."

Shen Yiyan knew he couldn't return to the unit too late, and he trusted Su Ruoyan: "Yes, Captain, I'll be going now."

Watching Shen Yiyan leave, Su Ruoyan walked towards Nanqu.

By this time, there were far fewer people below. As Su Ruoyan walked over, Nan Qu happened to come out with Nan Xing, carrying her luggage.

The staff had met Su Ruoyan yesterday. Although it seemed unbelievable that such a handsome person would work as a nanny, they simply expressed their respect.

The three of them got into the production crew's car and returned to the guesthouse together.
