Sheng Tang hadn’t had such high-quality sleep in a long time.
She even had a dream last night.
To call it a dream, in fact, it was really more of a memory.
She and Gu Shiting were at home first, helping Grandma make dumplings and wontons, after which they had a meal. Then the scene shifted to the Gu Family Villa.
They were flying kites with Gu Shiyan and her spouse.
Sheng Tang kept smiling in the dream, even though she didn’t quite know what she was so happy about.
In previous dreams about Grandma, she would always be crying, and Grandma would be comforting her.
This time was different.
She was very cheerful, and Grandma was happy too, with no sign of worry on her face, just wanting to make delicious dumplings for her and Gu Shiting.
S City doesn’t really have a tradition of making dumplings, Grandma’s specialty should be wontons. Nevertheless, Grandma always loved making dumplings, and they were very tasty.
Upon waking up, her chest still lingered with traces of happiness.
Seeing herself nestled in Gu Shiting’s arms, she didn’t react much, let alone consider pushing him away.
She moved slightly, and Gu Shiting woke up too.
He first kissed Sheng Tang’s forehead, then, seeing her bright eyes, he seemed to return to the present, a little bewildered.
Sheng Tang sat up.
Gu Shiting wanted to explain something, but Sheng Tang waved her hand, signaling him to keep quiet.
She went straight to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Breakfast consisted of Western pastries and milk, brought to the deck by the crew, where everyone casually sat and ate.
Sheng Tang scolded Xu Yun, "Do you ever do anything reliable?"
Xu Yun replied, "Sis, it’s not my fault. I took a shower, played with my phone for a bit, and by the time I came to find you two, you were both already asleep."
Everyone: "..."
Sheng Zong glanced at Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang retorted, "What are you looking at?"
Sheng Zong immediately withdrew his gaze; when women reach a certain age, they all turn into tigresses.
Sheng Tang was just criticizing Xu Yun without actually being very angry.
When the boat arrived back at the S City dock, it was already eleven in the morning.
"Sis, let’s go for lunch together," Sheng Zong suggested again.
Sheng Tang replied, "I have something to do."
She was eager to leave.
Being with Gu Shiting, she gradually lost control. This wasn’t acceptable, at least not now.
She had too many issues to consider, and many problems to resolve.
Before she left, Sheng Tang reminded Sheng Zong to quickly send the two little Xu Family ancestors back, so that Xu Bingzhi wouldn’t call her again.
"What if Xu Bingzhi claims we incited his kids to skip class, who will take responsibility?" Sheng Tang said.
Sheng Zong laughed out loud, "Uncle Xu isn’t that clueless. His kids skipping class, do they really need to be incited by others?"
Sheng Tang: "..."
Gu Shiting had the driver bring two cars.
They all went back to Gu Shiting’s place, while Sheng Tang took another car to Jiahuai’s apartment.
Gu Jiahui is rarely home during the day.
Sheng Tang sat at her dressing table, flipping through the scripts she brought back yesterday.
None of them were satisfactory to her.
Like Ke Fei, she decided to make one film at a time, trying to establish a reputation that "every film is a hit."
Moreover, Zheng Weiwei was working hard to create a "luck charm" title for Sheng Tang. Ke Fei also thought it was a good idea and planned to use it, hoping it would indeed bring Sheng Tang good luck.
That evening, Gu Jiahui didn’t come home until midnight.
When he returned, he was already half-drunk. Sheng Tang heard constant noise in the living room from Gu Jiahui knocking over the lamp beside the sofa.
