It was as if there was magic at work.
The fussy baby who had been making a ruckus just now was sound asleep in Gu Sisi's arms, looking as peaceful as a little angel.
Chen Fang stood at the door, watching Gu Sisi gently place the baby in the crib and make sure the little one showed no sign of waking up.
She tiptoed back and quietly closed the door.
"Let's talk in the study," Gu Sisi whispered.
Chen Fang was also affected and followed Gu Sisi on tiptoe.
Only after the door was closed did he let out a sigh of relief.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I didn't expect the baby to get sleepy at this time," Gu Sisi said apologetically.
Chen Fang hadn't expected the baby to be so obedient in front of Gu Sisi!
"It's okay, Madam. It's a small thing," Chen Fang said gratefully. If Gu Sisi hadn't come back, they would have had to endure some more torment.
Gu Sisi turned around, planning to sit down and talk to him, but happened to glance at Chen Fang and burst out laughing.
Chen Fang looked at the laughing Madam, completely confused.
"What? What's wrong?" Chen Fang followed Gu Sisi's gaze and felt his head. As soon as he touched it, he knew why she was laughing.
There was a baby toy hanging on his head. His face flushed with shame.
He had actually forgotten about it. If he had walked out of the Huo Mansion directly without anyone reminding him...
He shivered at the thought.
Gu Sisi's expression gradually returned to normal. Just when the atmosphere was a bit awkward, she took out two tickets and placed them in front of Chen Fang.
Chen Fang was stunned on the spot and took the two tickets from Gu Sisi.
"Tickets to the TV festival?" Chen Fang murmured. And the date on them was tomorrow.
Gu Sisi nodded and said, "I got these tickets by chance. I originally wanted to give them to Huo Cheng, but now I heard he's busy. So I'll give these two tickets to you. You can do whatever you want with them."
She thought these two tickets shouldn't be wasted, but it was not easy to give them away. After all, not everyone liked such an occasion.
In this situation, she thought of Chen Fang. Even if he didn't go himself, Gu Sisi was sure he wouldn't let the tickets go to waste.
Chen Fang took the tickets and said happily, "Okay, thank you, Madam."
Then Chen Fang put away the tickets.
After giving the tickets, he was about to leave. When he reached the door, he turned back and said hesitantly, "By the way, Madam, how about I ask Mr. Huo if he has time to go with you?"
Since Madam had these tickets, it meant she cared about this event.
Although he also hoped to see some real - life celebrities he often saw on TV, the date between Madam and Mr. Huo was more important.
"Should I leave the tickets with you then?" Chen Fang continued.
Gu Sisi was still thinking about what Chen Fang had just said. Hearing this, she shook her head and said, "Actually, there are three tickets in total. I already have one, so you don't need to leave them with me."
She paused for a moment and said, "You don't need to specifically tell Mr. Huo to accompany me. Let him focus on his work first. We'll talk about it if he has time."
Gu Sisi gave this instruction uneasily.
Since there were three tickets, Chen Fang felt relieved and agreed.
When Chen Fang returned to the company, he was relieved to find Mr. Huo in his office.
"Mr. Huo, there are two tickets to the TV festival. What do you think...?" Chen Fang was waiting for Mr. Huo's decision.
Huo Cheng stopped his busy hands, looked up, and glanced at the tickets.
"Just put them on the table for now," he said, without saying whether he would go or not.
Chen Fang didn't dare to ask more. He put down the tickets, took a look at Mr. Huo who had started to be busy again, and then left.
There was still an extra ticket in his pocket.
The tickets lying quietly on the table waited for a long time before someone picked them up.
Gu Sisi contacted Huo Cheng later.
"Are you busy these days?"
"A bit," came the calm voice from the other end.
Gu Sisi glanced at the time. It was already ten o'clock at night, but Huo Cheng still hadn't come back.
If she were still in the filming crew, she would never have thought that Huo Cheng was so busy at this moment.
"Will you be busy tomorrow too?" Gu Sisi asked again, with a hint of expectation in her heart.
There was a pause at the other end, and then a soft voice said, "It'll be about the same as today."
That meant he would be very busy.
Disappointment flashed in Gu Sisi's eyes, but at the same time, she was glad that she hadn't let Chen Fang mention it to him. She didn't want to delay his work.
"Okay then," Gu Sisi said without any disappointment in her tone. Just like usual, they chatted for a while and then ended the call.
"Bye. Go to bed early."
Gu Sisi gave this last instruction and then hung up the phone.
Until the end, Gu Sisi didn't tell Huo Cheng that she had already come back.
She had a good night's sleep.
When Gu Sisi got up in the morning and came downstairs, she saw Sister Hua taking care of the baby, and Sister Hu had already prepared breakfast.
"Was he naughty today?" Gu Sisi asked with a smile as she slowly came downstairs.
Sister Hua replied honestly, "No. The baby was very obedient today."
Gu Sisi felt relieved. In the afternoon, she was going to leave.
She didn't need to participate in the show. She was just going to watch, so Gu Sisi entered the venue very casually.
The show hadn't started yet. The staff were still setting up, and there were already some people in the audience area. Many reporters were surrounded three - deep, carrying cameras and cameras, constantly adjusting them.
As night began to fall, the originally a bit tired Gu Sisi got excited with the waiting music and the host's voice.
Finally, the music stopped abruptly.
The first group of models started to appear. They were from the hottest TV drama of the day, *I Have a Date with Tomorrow*. The audience around began to boil.
There were indeed some people in this crew that Gu Sisi had a good impression of. Excited, Gu Sisi also cheered.
On the red carpet, there were only the sounds of cameras clicking.
After this group left, another group would pour in. For more than half an hour, the red carpet was almost never empty.
There were many big names in the entertainment industry, directors, popular young actors, and child actors. Gu Sisi saw a lot that night.
The venue was on a terrace. As night fell, the temperature began to drop. Gu Sisi looked up and always felt that it might rain today. The gusts of wind were a bit strange.
Maybe she should go back first. She could avoid getting wet and catching a cold.
On one hand was her health, on the other hand were the people she liked. For a moment, Gu Sisi couldn't make up her mind.
She tried to turn around and found that there were so many people, more than she had imagined.
It seemed that she couldn't squeeze out, so forget it.
Gu Sisi compromised immediately. She didn't worry about getting wet in the rain anymore. Even if it really rained, with so many people around, it would be a rare experience.
"Next, it's a drama directed by Zheng Peisi. Let's welcome the cast," the host said in a powerful voice, and the crowd cheered again.
Gu Sisi looked to the side and saw that there were people in the crowd holding Ouyang Xin's support signs. It seemed that they had come specifically to see him.
The long - wheelbase Lincoln sedan stopped, and a group of people got out of the car. The one in the lead was the director.
Yes, this was the crew that Gu Sisi had been in. Now she was constantly glad that she hadn't left just now.
The weather, which had seemed like it was going to rain, had returned to normal. There was no wind, and there was even moonlight.
The director and the main actors walked over. Gu Sisi thought it was a bit strange that Wen Meiling, who was originally the second - female lead, was not in the group.
Even the third and fourth female leads were there, as well as the second and third male leads...
Although Wen Meiling's scenes had been reduced, she was still nominally the second - female lead. Was she angry and doing this on purpose?
