Although Wuyou and Nianci were less than one year old, they were very clever. They could call “Mammy” and “Daddy” at their age.
However, they never called Luo Dai’er “Mammy”. Instead, they would call Xia Nuan “Mammy” when they met her.
Ye Sichen thought Wuyou wanted him, so he clapped his hands towards him. But Wuyou smiled, shook his head and babbled for a moment. Then he stretched out his hand to hold Ye Sichen and called him to sit a little bit closer to Xia Nuan.
Xia Nuan was shy to see that. Her face was unconsciously burned. Then she carried Wuyou in Ye Sichen’s arms and was ready to get up.
“Mammy.” Wuyou held Xia Nuan’s arm and didn’t allow her to leave.
However, Ye Sichen was indifferent to see him badgering Xia Nuan.
“Didn’t you want your daddy to hold you? And I am not your mammy. You can’t call me like that.” Xia Nuan explained to a baby who was less than one year old.
She didn’t want Ye Sichen to misunderstand that she taught his son to call her “mammy”.
However, Wuyou raised his head and sat on Ye Sichen’s laps with his little hand pulling Xia Nuan’s arm. He urged Xia Nuan to sit down together with his dad.
Xia Nuan had no alternative but to give Wuyou a loving glance and sat next to Ye Sichen.
Wuyou played around between them. It turned out that he wanted to keep their legs close together so that he could sit on both of their laps at the same time.
He made it at last and his small chubby hand patted on their legs happily.
A child was too innocent to be aware of the embarrassment between the adults.
Xia Nuan’s heart was beating violently as Ye Sichen sat so close to her. She had only to pretend to play with Wuyou so that she could distract herself from the nervousness.
While Ye Sichen read an international newspaper silently, looking at Xia Nuan and Wuyou with a warm smile from time to time.
Neither of them knew what happened to Wuyou. He was so energetic and had no tendency of being sleepy.
Xia Nuan hoped that he could go to bed as soon as possible so that she could leave this depressing bedroom.
“Ken told me you cooked me ginger soup and helped me with the medicine when I was sick the other day?” Ye Sichen’s slow and steady voice suddenly broke the stillness.
Hearing this, Xia Nuan was suddenly on the verge of panic.
“Oh, yes. But just then Mrs. Ye was back…”
“Once I am in a coma, no medicine can be taken orally. I’m wondering how you helped me take the medicine successfully?”
Ye Sichen interrupted her and continued to ask her slowly.
Her face blushed. His question made her faltered. She just sat there looking at Wuyou and didn’t dare to turn her face upward Ye Sichen.
Ye Sichen revealed a light and charming smile. He put the newspaper on the marble tea case and hold his forehead with one hand, “Did you give me mouth-to-mouth respiration?”
Every time he saw her blush, he wanted to make a joke on her deliberately.
“No, no, it’s not what you think it is.” Xia Nuan said that with a guilty conscience.
“Really? But I can’t figure out any other way.” Ye Sichen followed up her reasonably.
Xia Nuan summoned up her courage and raised her head. Then she caught his bright eyes, “Yes, sir. I adopted that method indeed, but I did not mean to take advantage of you. It was Mr. Ken who asked me to do that. He said that if you didn’t take the medicine, your throat would be inflamed, so I had no choice but…”
“Well. The more you explain, the more you want to cover up. You seem to be somewhat fearful. Even if you did that to me, I can understand. After all, I have the ability to make women crazy for me.” He posed himself as the proud “King of Music”, which gave Xia Nuan no way to defend herself.
Besides, Xia Nuan didn’t dare to defend against his words. As he said, the more she explained, the more she tried to cover up.
She held her breath and didn’t dare to look at him. Looking at the energetic Wuyou, she yawned with tiredness.
“You’d better go to bed.” Ye Sichen said with concern.
She shook her head, “No, I will be with Wuyou. You can go to bed first.”
“I recommend you to go to bed.” Ye Sichen’s words were filled with irresistible majesty.
Xia Nuan had to be obedient. When she slightly took away Wuyou’s little hand and was ready to leave, he cried.
Ye Sichen tried to lull him, but it was of no use. Helplessly, Xia Nuan had to go back and held him.
Ye Sichen ordered her to sleep in this bedroom with Wuyou, and he prepared to go to the study room next door. This time, Wuyou cried once again. He would not stop bothering them until they gave him his way.
Ye Sichen helplessly looked at Wuyou with anger, “We should not spoil him. Go to sleep. Leave him alone.”
“But if I leave, he will cry, which will make you lack of sleep and be weak tomorrow.” Xia Nuan tried to leave several times, but every time it ended up with Wuyou’s cry without stopping.
Ye Sichen frowned and nodded, “Yeah. If I leave, he will cry as well. We have to find a way for us to rest at the same time.”
Xia Nuan nodded consciously and kept on comforting him. She only hoped that he would be asleep soon.
“How about we lie on the bed together, turn off the light and wait till he falls asleep?” Ye Sichen advised.
“Ah? I’m afraid that’s not a good way…” Xia Nuan couldn’t imagine the scene she lay on the bed together with the “King of Music”.
“Just for our convenience to rest. You bet! It would be inappropriate if you are thinking about something else.” Ye Sichen refuted casually.
“No, I have no other thoughts.” How dared she have any other ideas on him?
“Let’s go to sleep then. I am a little sleepy.” Ye Sichen lazily yawned and walked toward the double bed.
Xia Nuan held Wuyou and followed Ye Sichen sluggishly.
“Put Wuyou between us. You go to bed on the inside first.” He said concisely, standing by the double bed and waiting for her to get on the bed first.
He straightly leaned against the bedside table with his arms crossed, looking at Xia Nuan’s restrained behaviors.
Xia Nuan held Wuyou and lay down. Then Ye Sichen covered the quilt for them.
All at once, his loving act made Xia Nuan feel warm.
Black at a moment, Ye Sichen turned off the light.
Xia Nuan felt her heart beat faster and heavier on this quiet night. She silently covered her chest in fear of being heard by Ye Sichen.
The moonlight shone on Xia Nuan’s pretty and tender complexion. Ye Sichen gazed at her in the dark. He was quieter and more somber than ever before.
Xia Nuan fell asleep unconsciously. It was daylight when she woke up. A ray of sunlight came through the window. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and found that there was no one beside her.
Wuyou was sleeping in the cradle. But she didn’t know when Ye Sichen had left.
The moment Xia Nuan got up, Lian knocked on the door. Xia Nuan walked over and opened it.
“Xia Nuan, Ms. Helen sent someone to pick you up. Make yourself presentable and he will take you to the audition!” Lian said at a breath.
Only then did Xia Nuan remember that she had promised Helen an audition yesterday.
She hurried to wash up when Wuyou and Nianci were asleep.
Wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, Xia Nuan went out of the bedroom and heard Luo Dai’er losing her temper in the living room.
“Where is Ye Sichen? I want to see him! I want to ask him face to face. Why doesn’t he allow me, the babies’ mother, to take care of them?!” Luo Dai’er questioned Ken who was standing aside in calm.
As expected, Xia Nuan found two strange bodyguards stood outside the door of Wuyou and Nianci’s bedroom. It seemed that they were there to prevent Luo Dai’er from approaching the room.
With his hands crossed, Ken showed his professional ethics and accomplishment, “Mr. Ye has already said it clearly, Mrs. Ye. You fed your son the red bean milkshake.”
“What’s wrong with it? He is old enough to take the red bean milkshake!” Luo Dai’er said self-confidently and smashed everything in the living room into pieces.
Without saying anything, Ken looked at Luo Dai’er coldly.
Xia Nuan suddenly realized that it was Luo Dai’er who fed Wuyou the red beans.
Later, Luo Dai’er was so tired that she stopped the smash. She lay on the sofa, breathing heavily. Seeing Xia Nuan downstairs, she suddenly pretended to be calm.
“Ms. Xia, it’s time for you to go to the audition! Anyway, if you are selected, don’t forget my promotion for you.”
Xia Nuan nodded, “Yes, Mrs. Ye.”
Luo Dai’er seemed to be very hostile to her, so Xia Nuan just echoed her without another word.
After Xia Nuan left, Luo Dai’er dialed a phone number.
“I do not care what method you are gonna use. You must torture her into nothing. I feel disgusted to see her! She must disappear. Heard it? Roger!” Luo Dai’er growled at the mobile phone in the bathroom…
Xia Nuan was taken to Eddie Cineplex by Helen’s assistant Pin.
Helen and several producers were discussing about selecting the heroine for their film. And the surrounding staff were busy with their own affairs. It seemed that they were not aware of the arrival of Xia Nuan.
Helen didn’t introduce Xia Nuan to the producers until Pin took her before them.
“I have seen lots of beautiful women, and I am especially pleased with those charming ones. Sometimes, women are good at picking women than men.” Helen smoked a cigarette freely and showed a careless appearance with casual clothes. She was confident with herself in picking actors.
“Well, Helen. We are satisfied with the actress that you pick. But the judge has the final say.” The producers shrugged and looked at Xia Nuan who was restricted.
Although this woman was a little charming, it was obviously that she was ignorant of the worldly affairs and even didn’t get the talent of performance or catwalk.
Helen held Xia Nuan’s hand, “I have told Roger about it. We are optimistic about her. Surely, the audition will be necessary.”
Roger was the director of this short film. Usually, before filming, he would make a professional selection in order to pick out the best model whom he was satisfied.
“Helen, you probably don’t know that Roger is not the director of this short film any more. The director has been changed by AGE.” Another producer reminded Helen.
AGE was the international music company where Helen worked.
“Why didn’t anyone inform me? That’s ridiculous! The director of my music video has been replaced and I was the last one to know!” Helen put out the slender ladies’ cigarette into the ashtray.
“Lan Qing replaced him.” The producer continued.
As she heard this, her initial anger was replaced by pleasure within a second.
“That’s great. I always like Lan Qing. His works have a sense of musical prospect. It’s my great honor to cooperate with him.”
Lan Qing was an excellent director who usually cooperated with Ye Sichen. No one could work with him except Ye Sichen. No wonder Helen was so excited.
Xia Nuan was brought to a fitting room by Pin. She put on a set of bikinis.
Wearing it, Xia Nuan felt so uncomfortable that she covered her chest uneasily.
Standing by the mirror, she saw the most of her skin was exposed, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, there were several bikini girls next to her. They wore even less than her, which relieved her tension slightly.
Just like her, they were the candidates for this audition.
Each of them had their own characteristics, beautiful and charming. Placing hands on their waists, they showed their poses confidently.
