“Fighting scenes don’t have to be done in person. If every actress is doing fighting scenes in person, what’s the point of having a professional stand-in?” Song Chen’s heart ached, “Manxi, I know you’re serious about acting, but you also have to take care of your body. Chuchu’s still young. Before you do anything dangerous, you have to think about her.”
Jumping down with wires attached… Song Chen was scared just thinking about it.
Gu Manxi looked at him calmly.
Gu Manxi suddenly asked, “Song Chen… if Chuchu and I didn’t return to the capital and you couldn’t find me, would you have married Cheng Qingyun?”
Song Chen was speechless. Why did she mention Cheng Qingyun again? He didn’t like Cheng Qingyun at all.
“No.” Song Chen put down the bowl of porridge. “I’ll look for you for the rest of my life.”
Gu Manxi thought of the scenes in her dream. Each scene was so realistic and cruel. Gu Manxi’s eyes turned red. “Then… then if I marry another man, will you despise me for being dirty?”
Song Chen kept feeling that Manxi was particularly vulnerable today.
She was probably sick, which was why she showed the weakness behind her pretense of being strong.
Song Chen said with heartache, “Manxi, no matter where you are, I’ll find you. Even if you marry another man, I’ll wait for you.”
He thought to himself, if that man treats you badly, I will kill the man you married in secret.
Gu Manxi trembled slightly. Tears flowed down silently. Her eyes were red, and she looked like a delicate flower. Song Chen hated to see Gu Manxi cry the most. When she cried, he was at a loss and his heart was about to break. Song Chen was flustered. He wiped her tears. “Don’t Cry, don’t cry. I’m by your side. I won’t let anyone bully you.”
Gu Manxi threw herself into Song Chen’s arms.
Song Chen’s entire body froze!
Song Chen: !!!
This was the first time in six years that Manxi had taken the initiative to hug him! Song Chen’s heart nearly suffocated. He had nowhere to put his hands. In the end, he carefully hugged Manxi and patted her back. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Gu Manxi was probably really tired. After crying, her entire body felt as if it had been drained. Very quickly, she fell asleep from exhaustion. In her sleep, she was still uneasy. She grabbed onto the corner of Song Chen’s clothes and refused to let go.
Song Chen waited patiently by the bed.
Looking at Gu Manxi in her sleep, she furrowed her brows and felt very uneasy. Song Chen felt sorry for her and kept her company.
Gu Chu strolled outside for more than an hour to give her parents enough time to be alone. Only then did she walk upstairs with her chubby legs. “Mommy, I’m back.”
Song Chen made a “Shh” gesture and stood up gently. He said in a low voice, “Chuchu, stay here with Mommy. Uncle Song has some things to do first. I’ll come back tonight.”
Gu Chu made an “Okay” gesture.
The father and daughter changed shifts.
Gu Chu sat on a small stool, playing with her phone while accompanying Mommy. Gu Manxi might not have been able to rest well recently. She had to go on the promotion of “The Return of Spring Breeze”, shoot a film, and take on various endorsements. All these factors caused her to suffer from minor illnesses due to poor rest.
Gu Chu sighed. Manxi had been working extremely hard.
She could have easily lived the life of a rich lady. However, Gu Manxi still chose to pursue her own career. No matter how hard she worked, she would not give in.
“I wonder what kind of nightmare Mama had,” Gu Chu muttered and continued to swipe her phone.

In a faraway America, in a tall building that reached into the clouds.
In a room full of technology, a small stone placed in the center of the data table was emitting a weak light.
Lin Mo raised his head slightly and shifted his gaze from the newspaper to the stone. “The speed has increased…”
