The child looked better in spirit as she slept. There was even a faint smile on her lips.
Xu Xiyan’s heart was filled with tenderness. She looked at her daughter lovingly for a moment before lowering her head to kiss the child gently on the cheek.
The child was sleeping soundly when Xu Xiyan’s phone vibrated. She picked up her phone and went outside of the ward to answer the call.
It was Qi Liya. She asked Xu Xiyan why she had left without saying anything that day at lunch with the whole production crew.
“I’m sorry, Miss Qi. Please apologize to Director Huang for me. I had an emergency at home that day, so I had to leave,” Xu Xiyan briefly explained.
“It’s okay, I’m just asking. I have good news for you. Our new drama ‘Red Sleeved Beauty’ is officially releasing today.”
Qi Liya wanted to share this piece of good news with her. Originally the drama was delayed due to Huang Guoqiang’s case, but now it was back on schedule for the pilot episode.
“That’s great, everything’s back to normal after so many ups and downs.”
Xu Xiyan truly felt that it was not easy to shoot a drama successfully.
Just like “Red Sleeved Beauty,””Root of Evil” had also encountered many special circumstances caused by various reasons during the shooting process.
Now that her very first TV series, “Red Sleeved Beauty,” was officially released, it gave her a sense of achievement.
Speaking of “Root of Evil,” Xu Xiyan had taken leave from the production crew. With her daughter being hospitalized for several days, she’d been focused on taking care of her.
While Ying Bao was still asleep, Huo Yunshen returned to the ward, rejoining both mother and daughter.
“Cherry’s asleep?” Huo Yunshen asked, feeling his heart melting as he looked at his daughter’s tender little face.
“Yeah.”
Xu Xiyan turned around and faced him. She asked with concern, “Are you all right?”
She was a bit worried whether Ying Bao’s fear and resentment towards him had pressured him psychologically.
“I’m fine. I just feel sorry for her. If it wasn’t for me, she wouldn’t… sigh…”
Huo Yunshen’s deep and dark eyes were filled with regret. If he had simply not revealed his child’s identity and had hidden and protected her like Xu Xiyan had been doing, then all of this would not have happened.
Xu Xiyan held his hand, and smiled at him as she comforted him, “I’ve already said this before. I don’t blame you at all, not one bit. We still have to face it sooner or later, and it just happened that this had occurred ahead in time. We’ll just have to protect our child better in the future, isn’t that right? Don’t worry, I’ve told her that you’re her biological father and she is very happy. She will not hate you.”
If she was like a typical woman, she would have definitely quarreled with him over her child’s injury. But she did not do so.
This beautiful and intelligent woman had conquered him with her personality and charm, warming his heart with her kindness and gentleness.
She brought him too much joy and surprise, warmth and inspiration. His life was enriched because of her. His life was complete because of her.
His spirit and soul had long been completely possessed by her.
Huo Yunshen caressed his daughter’s little face and said with great gratitude, “Thank you, Jing Xi. I thought that I would be lonely till the end of my life. But you’ve given me the best daughter in the world and I really don’t know how to repay you.”
Xu Xiyan looked into his deep eyes and said half-jokingly, “Well, if you can’t repay me, then you should marry me!”
“Sure.” A vibrant light glimmered in Huo Yunshen’s bright and clear eyes. Then he added, “If you don’t mind me.”
As long she did not mind him, he was willing to devote his life to her. He was willing to give everything to her.
