Gu Zian pushed open the door and saw Xia Zhitang sitting in the crash barrier playing with Qingwu, looking a little dazed.
Xia Zhitang's figure overlapped with the palace maid Qing'er, as if it was the scene where the third king ascended the throne and made Qing'er his concubine and gave birth to their first child together.
"Qingwu, call me daddy." Xia Zhitang's voice brought Gu Zian back to reality.
In front of him is his wife Xia Zhitang and his daughter Gu Qingwu, they are the real family...
When Gu Zian picked up Qingwu and held him high, his expression had returned to clarity, and Xia Zhitang did not notice anything unusual about her husband.
"Da, da, da!" Qingwu kicked his legs excitedly and mumbled the latest sounds he had learned.
"Qingwu can call daddy now!" Gu Zian widened his eyes in disbelief. He stood up suddenly while holding his daughter and turned around twice.
"Be careful!" Xia Zhitang felt that this action was too stimulating for the baby.
"Wife, I feel like my heart is melting!" Gu Zian suddenly leaned forward to kiss Qingwu, but his daughter covered her mouth with her hand and pushed him away.
He smiled and kissed his daughter's soft palm several times, until Qingwu kicked her feet impatiently and urged him to continue playing the lifting game.
Gu Zian happened to understand his daughter's hint from her eyes even though she couldn't speak. Suddenly, he felt his heart filled with joy and he wanted to give his daughter the best things in the world.
After playing with his daughter for a while, Gu Zian felt that he was in a very good mood.
He watched his yawning daughter being carried away by the nanny with reluctance: "Ah, I always feel like I missed her growth. She will call me daddy all of a sudden."
"I feel a little annoyed when I see you every day, but I miss you when I don't see you for a day."
Xia Zhitang couldn't help but laugh when he recalled the scene before Gu Zian joined the group, when he always took the opportunity to send Qingwu to Gu's father.
Finally, there were only two of them left, and Gu Zian hugged Xia Zhitang like a clingy big dog.
"Did the shoot go well today?" Xia Zhitang's fingertips shuttled across Gu Zian's wet hair.
Gu Zian hummed softly, and the gentle yet resolute look of the palace maid An flashed through his mind.
"Very tired?" Xia Zhitang keenly sensed that Gu Zian was absent-minded.
"Sister, I miss you." Gu Zian threw Xia Zhitang onto the soft navy blue quilt.
Xia Zhitang only felt that Gu Zian's kiss today was filled with an unknown sense of unease: "Zi'an, don't be afraid, I'm here."
"No." Gu Zian's fangs rubbed a red mark on Xia Zhitang's neck.
Xia Zhitang hugged Gu Zian's broad shoulders and sighed imperceptibly.
She had never felt such complex emotional fluctuations from Gu Zian before. Her big dog began to truly enter the world and experience the ups and downs of life.
With the beautiful return and tranquility, Xia Zhitang buttoned the last button of his clothes and turned to look at Gu Zian who was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.
"Having a rough day?" She circled her large dog from behind.
Gu Zian closed his eyes and took in the reassuring scent of Xia Zhitang. The aroma of grass mingled with a hint of milk. The illusions in his mind gradually dissipated, and the real anchor of the world gradually returned.
"Sister, I miss you so much." The words hoping that Xia Zhitang would stay turned several times and finally ended in lingering love words.
At this moment, Gu Zian vaguely realized the real reason why Xia Zhitang escaped during her pregnancy. It was not because of fear or struggle.
"Yes, I'm here." Xia Zhitang kissed the top of Gu Zian's head.
Tears rolled down Gu Zian's eyes, and the surging emotions that had been accumulating for several weeks finally found an outlet.
Xia Zhitang hugged Gu Zian silently, and silent companionship was the most touching love words.
The maid An's fingertips withdrew from the Third Prince's face, and he subconsciously wanted to grab it.
"Card."
The gates of drama and reality were silently switching. Gu Zian's distracted eyes were still fixed on the sad back of the palace maid An, and the reality that was frozen in the plot quietly began to flow.
Xia Zhitang took the towel from the assistant. Gu Zian turned to look at his wife's face and moved his lips lightly as he said "sister".
Xia Zhitang caught the director's hand gesture behind the monitor and said softly, "Well, Zi'an, this scene is over."
At this moment, she finally understood the source of Gu Zian's loss of control - this character was too subtle, and Gu Zian did not need to spend too much effort to figure it out before he could deeply empathize with the emotions between the Third Prince and the palace maid An.
This is easy for actors to perform, but it is also easy to fall into the whirlpool of emotions.
Xia Zhitang calmly wiped away the tears from the corners of Gu Zian's eyes, gently brushed away the sadness in Gu Zian's eyes, and pulled him back to the real world.
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Gu. This is the end of your role today."
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
After finishing his scenes for the day, Gu Zian's expression had returned to normal.
This was the fastest time in recent times, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
While removing the makeup, the makeup artist keenly noticed Gu Zian's good mood and couldn't help but praise him: "Teacher Gu looks really good today."
Gu Zian glanced at Xia Zhitang, who was typing away with a frown on his face while holding a tablet, and smiled gently, "The power of love."
Under the scorching makeup lights of the crew, Gu Zian's profile seemed to be coated with a layer of soft light, and his eyes were so bright that they could drip water. The female makeup artist in her early 30s was suddenly distracted.
"Hello, what's the current situation of the Xiping project?" Xia Zhitang did not notice Gu Zian's gaze. She frowned and started to make a phone call.
When Gu Zian walked over, Xia Zhitang had just hung up the phone and closed the computer in annoyance.
"What's wrong?" It's rare to see her look like this.
Xia Zhitang looked at Gu Zian with a complicated expression and thought for a moment: "There's a problem with the Xiping project. I need to fly over to deal with it."
"Do we have to go now?" Gu Zian tried hard to appear calm, but his eyelashes trembled slightly several times.
Xia Zhitang lowered his eyes to avoid Gu Zian's eager gaze and assessed the situation over there for a moment: "Go back and pack your things first."
Gu Zian bit his lower lip lightly, looked at Xia Zhitang's expression, and subconsciously held Xia Zhitang's wrist.
"Sister..." I need you...
Xia Zhitang was silent for a moment, then spoke with difficulty: "Let's talk when we get back."
The two of them got into the car hand in hand in silence. The assistants quickly sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere and held their breath, not daring to say a word other than necessary work reminders.
When I came back, the room was dark and Qingwu was sleeping soundly in the crib in the guest room.
The couple who were in a stalemate couldn't help but relax a little, and they tiptoed to check on their daughter first.
Xia Zhitang picked up Qingwu's little hand and placed the back of his daughter's chubby hand against his cheek.
Gu Zian sighed softly, and suddenly felt that the confrontation between the couple was somewhat meaningless.
He gently hugged Xia Zhitang from behind and put his face gently on her back.
Xia Zhitang gently placed his daughter's hand on the back of Gu Zian's hand. The three of them, big hands against small hands.
Gu Zian couldn't help but rub Xia Zhitang's back, and then bit her coat lightly with some sadness.
He really hoped that Xia Zhitang would choose to stay for him this time, but he didn't dare to ask. Gu Zian always knew the answer...
When Qingwu woke up, Gu Zian was silently watching Xia Zhitang stuffing things into his backpack.
Hearing the noise, the two people tacitly helped Qingwu make milk powder. One person poured water and the other shook it before putting it in their daughter's hand.
Qingwu gulped down the milk, threw the bottle away, looked around with his grape-like eyes, and finally waved his little hands at Gu Zian.
Xia Zhitang looked at Gu Zian, who was holding his daughter high up in his arms reluctantly. Her eyes changed from struggle to reluctance, and finally, she smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Zi'an." Xia Zhitang said with difficulty, "Qingwu is in your hands this month."
Gu Zian was stunned for a moment and handed his confused daughter to the nanny's arms.
"So, let Qingwu stay here this month?" He thought Xia Zhitang would send Qingwu back to Taipei. After all, that was the environment Qingwu was familiar with.
"Well, let's have Aunt Wang fly over in the next couple of days." Xia Zhitang began to plan the follow-up arrangements. "Aunt Li and the others at the hospital outpatient clinic here all know that we need an assistant to serve as a driver, and also..."
Before Xia Zhitang could finish his words, he was stopped by Gu Zian's kiss.
After a moment of hesitation, Xia Zhitang caught sight of the nanny's raised skirt and couldn't help but kick Gu Zian.
"Sister." Gu Zian's warm breath sprayed on Xia Zhitang's red earlobe, and his voice was low and seductive.
His fingertips pierced through Xia Zhitang's hair, loosening her ponytail.
"Come back as soon as you're done, okay?"
Xia Zhitang felt his scalp tingling, the cool minty scent of Gu Zian lingering on his nose, and his lips were barely touching his angular jawline.
"Sister?" Gu Zian, who hadn't heard a response for a long time, bit Xia Zhitang's earlobe with his canine teeth in dissatisfaction, "I need you, I need you very much."
"Okay." Xia Zhitang reached out and pushed Gu Zian, "I'm going to say goodbye to Qingwu."
She was worried about something, but she didn't show her anxiety on her face.
Gu Zian kissed Xia Zhitang on the lips before slowly letting him go: "I'll take you there."
The nanny car stopped on the side of the road at the airport entrance, and Xia Zhitang kissed his daughter's chubby face reluctantly.
"Little Qingwu, be good. Mommy has to go on a business trip for a while. You have to stay here with Daddy and Aunt Li."
Xia Zhitang chattered a lot to Qingwu, who could only utter a few monosyllables, until time was running out, and then he reluctantly stood up.
He lowered his eyes as his daughter babbled, took a deep breath, took the backpack, forced a smile, waved to his daughter, and walked towards the airport without looking back.
As the plane took off, Xia Zhitang stared blankly at the slowly shrinking city, its twinkling lights painting a vibrant picture of the human world. But she had no time to appreciate the beauty. Her daughter's voice and smile, along with Gu Zian's dazed expression, alternated in her mind.
She felt rarely confused. Are these projects really that important?
Was it right to leave when Gu Zian needed her?
Will Qingwu blame her for not fulfilling her responsibilities as a mother?
