Qin Yuanyao smiled gently, lowered her head, and kissed Chi Nao's soft, tender face.
Chi Nai's face smelled sweet, and her skin was tender and smooth. It felt soft to the touch, making Qin Yuanyao's heart soften even more.
Chi Nai was dissatisfied, her little face scrunched up: "Mommy, your kiss was so perfunctory, it wasn't even strong enough."
Qin Yuanyao smiled and gave her another big kiss on her little face.
Chi Cheese then showed some satisfaction.
She brought her other cheek close to Qin Yuanyao's face as well: "Mommy, I want a kiss on this side too."
Qin Yuanyao granted her wish and gave her a big kiss in return.
Chi Nia was now nine-tenths satisfied.
"Mommy, you have to kiss me every day from now on! If you don't kiss me, I'll feel like you don't like me anymore, and I'll be sad."
Qin Yuanyao smiled and nodded without hesitation, "Okay."
Chi Nai snuggled in her arms and quickly fell asleep contentedly.
Qin Yuanyao, however, could not fall asleep.
She belatedly realized why she had accepted Chi Naizhi's identity as Chi Naizhi's mother so quickly.
She clearly wasn't 100% psychologically ready yet.
However, when she faced Chi Nao, and saw Chi Nao's bright and expressive face, the maternal love deep in her heart seemed to be awakened, and she would always unconditionally agree to any of Chi Nao's requests without realizing it.
Even if she liked cute children before, she wouldn't have acted like this.
Is it because she is Chi Cheese's mother that she spoils her so much?
The more Qin Yuanyao thought about it, the more confused she became, and the less she could sleep.
She decided to get up and go downstairs to the yard to breathe some fresh air and change her mood.
There is a white swing in the yard, which Chi Baiyi must have put there for Chi Naoqi.
Qin Yuanyao sat on the swing, gazing at the star-studded night sky and listening to the chirping of insects around her, mentally reorganizing the events of the night.
I don't know how much time had passed when I heard footsteps behind me, and then a hand with distinct knuckles handed me a glass of red wine.
Qin Yuanyao turned around and met Chi Baiyi's deep, starry black eyes.
"A little red wine can help you sleep." Chi Baiyi's voice was as gentle as a summer breeze whispering in her ear.
"Thanks."
Qin Yuanyao took the red wine and took a sip.
"Can't you sleep either?" she asked Chi Baiyi, who was standing beside her.
Chi Baiyi smiled faintly: "When Cheese first came to my side, I was always concerned about who her biological mother was, because I knew very well that I had a clean private life, had never had a girlfriend, and could not possibly have a child."
"Later, as I spent more time with Cheese, I gradually stopped caring who her biological mother was. As long as I am her biological father, and I love and protect her, that's enough."
"Today, I was suddenly told by Cheese that she came from ten years ago, and that she is my and your child... I really can't calm down."
Qin Yuanyao was somewhat surprised.
Chi Baiyi has never had a girlfriend?
She thought that someone as outstanding as Chi Baiyi must already have a girlfriend.
However, Qin Yuanyao was only surprised for a moment, because what was even harder for her to digest was the fact that Chi Nai was her daughter.
Chi Baiyi glanced at Qin Yuanyao a few times and guessed from the changes in her expression that Qin Yuanyao had noticed his deliberate emphasis on his clean private life and the fact that he had never had a girlfriend.
A subtle, sly smile flickered in Chi Baiyi's eyes.
He composed himself and continued, "When Cheese first came into my life, I was just like you, unable to sleep night after night, finding it hard to accept that I actually had such a big daughter."
"However, I gradually got used to it, and even began to feel grateful that I have such a well-behaved, sensible, smart and lovely daughter."
When talking about Chi cheese, Chi Baiyi used a lot of praise, a rare occurrence, and a proud smile like that of an old father appeared on his face.
"From another perspective, the fact that Cheese is so smart, clever, and adorable means she must have grown up in a very loving family environment. We have raised her very well ten years later," Chi Baiyi said to Qin Yuanyao with a faint smile.
Qin Yuanyao looked stunned.
She hadn't thought of that before.
Just as Chi Baiyi said, Chi Nai is as cute as a little angel, which must mean that her parents love her very much and have raised her very well.
Ten years later, she'll be able to raise a child so well—something she never imagined she'd do now…
...
Qin Yuanyao barely slept a wink all night, and got up early the next morning to go to the film set.
When she got up, Chi Nao was still fast asleep, sleeping soundly and deeply.
Before leaving, she couldn't resist kissing Chi Nao's cheeks on both sides.
Because she hasn't fully digested the story of the pool cheese, Qin Yuanyao isn't in a good state today and can't fully immerse herself in the role, resulting in frequent retakes.
Eventually, the director, who already had a short temper, couldn't take it anymore.
"Qin Yuanyao, what's wrong with you today! You've done twenty or thirty takes for one scene, and it still isn't good enough! Do you know you're wasting everyone's time!"
"I'm sorry, I really wasn't feeling well today," Qin Yuanyao apologized to the director.
But the director was still angry and wouldn't listen to her at all.
"If you're not in good shape, can't you find a way to get back to good shape?! Every day we film, we're using up a day's budget. If you keep making mistakes, the schedule will fall behind, we won't finish today's task, and you'll drag all of us down!!"
"You want to be a good actor, but that's not something you can just talk about. A truly good actor can get into character well under any circumstances. Someone like you can't act when they're not in the right state of mind, and they're so emotional. What kind of acting are you?!"
"I'm sorry." Qin Yuanyao bowed again in apology.
Some actors and staff members in the crew who usually disliked Qin Yuanyao were secretly delighted.
This director has a very bad temper. He has scolded almost all the actors and staff on set, except for Qin Yuanyao.
Qin Yuanyao has finally gotten her comeuppance.
"Serves her right." A female supporting character whispered to another male supporting character, mocking, "I've disliked her for a long time. Her acting skills aren't that great, but she got noticed by President Chi just because she was on a variety show, and now she's risen to fame and can even play the female lead."
"You're just as good-looking as Qin Yuanyao. Why don't you go flaunt your looks in front of some bigwig and get him to take care of you and give you resources?" The male character teased the female character with a suggestive look in his eyes.
The female character, n, said disdainfully, "I don't want to be subjected to unspoken rules. Even if I can't make it in this industry, I'd rather not sell my body like some people do for resources, fame, and fortune!"
