"Okay, fine then." Realizing her own thoughtlessness, Yang Qian rarely didn't refute Jiang Lihao. Instead, seeing that she didn't argue back, Jiang Lihao felt a bit embarrassed and gradually withdrew his hand.
After getting rid of Jiang Lihao, Yang Qian skipped upstairs to find Gu Sisi. When she saw Gu Sisi, Gu Sisi was sitting in the study, studying Gu Chenfei's novel and thinking about how to write the script.
Gu Sisi was so engrossed that she didn't even notice Yang Qian coming in.
"Sister Sisi, you're not taking a break even on the weekend. You're working so hard."
"I just took on a new script. I'm reading the original novel. It's quite popular, so I have to take a close look. Otherwise, if the script fails to meet the audience's expectations, it won't be good."
Seeing it was Yang Qian, Gu Sisi temporarily put down what she was doing and started chatting with her.
"Sister Sisi, why do you have to work so hard? You've just had your baby. Why don't you stay at home and have a good rest?"
Yang Qian propped her chin and looked at Gu Sisi. In fact, she had been curious for a long time but never found the right opportunity to ask.
"Well... it's because I really want to become stronger so that I won't be helpless when the people I love are in danger." Gu Sisi suddenly became serious and answered Yang Qian's question earnestly.
"Sister Sisi~" Yang Qian looked at Gu Sisi with starry eyes.
"What's wrong?" Yang Qian's look made Gu Sisi feel a bit confused.
"Nothing, nothing. I just think you're so great, Sister Sisi. They say that although women are inherently weak, they become strong for their children. I never really believed this before. How could someone become strong just because they had a baby? But today, seeing you, Sister Sisi, I suddenly understand what it means to become strong for one's children."
Yang Qian looked extremely admiring as she said these words.
"What are you talking about? There's no such thing as becoming strong for one's children. I'm just the babies' mother. I just want to enrich myself and do something for them, for the babies, and for..." At this point, Gu Sisi suddenly fell silent.
"For Mr. Huo, right?" Yang Qian teased.
"I'm not talking to you anymore. I have to get back to work." Gu Sisi pretended to get back to work and picked up the documents again.
"Don't, don't, don't, Sister Sisi. You're holding the documents upside down. Stop looking. Let's go out together. It's the weekend. Why are you still working? Come on, come on." Saying this, Yang Qian dragged Gu Sisi away.
Gu Sisi looked down and sure enough, she was holding the documents upside down. So she let Yang Qian drag her out. Maybe it would help clear her mind and she might get some new inspiration.
As Gu Sisi was thinking this, Yang Qian dragged her to the kitchen. To her surprise, it was Huo Cheng and Jiang Lihao who were busy in the kitchen.
When did they start cooking? Gu Sisi thought it was quite strange.
Yang Qian looked on with a mischievous smile, glancing from Gu Sisi standing dumbfounded outside the door to Jiang Lihao and Huo Cheng bustling in the kitchen.
"Sister Sisi, let's go in and help."
Once again, Gu Sisi was dragged in by Yang Qian. As soon as she entered, she met Huo Cheng's gaze. He looked so gentle. It was really rare to see Huo Cheng wearing an apron.
Gu Sisi was momentarily transfixed. What was going on today? She always felt that Huo's mansion was becoming more and more like an ordinary family, with a husband, a wife, and children, all happy and harmonious.
But the mood was spoiled when Gu Sisi thought of Gu Chenfei again. No, actually, she had never really forgotten her.
Gu Sisi had been reading the original novel and thinking about the script. Since Gu Chenfei was the author, Gu Sisi couldn't help but think of her. Thinking of her would always remind her of the time in the coffee shop.
Thinking of Gu Chenfei's affectionate attitude towards Huo Cheng when they met and Huo Cheng's obvious attempt to cover it up made Gu Sisi very angry.
Moreover, she still hadn't calmed down. After what happened yesterday, she was even angrier.
At this moment, Mr. Huo was feeling quite uncomfortable. The road to winning his wife's forgiveness was really tough, tougher than climbing to the sky.
Huo Cheng glanced at Jiang Lihao and Yang Qian. Yang Qian quickly gave Gu Sisi a push. "Hey, Sister Sisi, what are you standing there for? Let's go in quickly."
Yang Qian was actually very nervous. On one hand, she was afraid that Gu Sisi would find out that she and Jiang Lihao were brought here by Huo Cheng. On the other hand, she found Huo Cheng's gaze really intimidating. It felt like he was going to eat her up. Now, it seemed that Jiang Lihao was much cuter.
Thinking like this, Gu Sisi was successfully dragged in by Yang Qian. Then Yang Qian retreated and went to Jiang Lihao for comfort.
Gu Sisi walked into the kitchen and took a look. Yang Qian was with Jiang Lihao, and they didn't need her help. It seemed that the only thing she could do was the bowl of peas in front of Huo Cheng.
So Gu Sisi slowly shuffled over and started shelling the peas. Huo Cheng was also shelling. She didn't know if it was on purpose, but Huo Cheng's hand always accidentally touched hers.
Gu Sisi felt that she was being very careful to avoid him, but their hands still touched every time. Finally, Gu Sisi realized that Huo Cheng was doing it on purpose.
He would deliberately reach for the peas beside her hand when she put her hand in. After their hands touched again, Gu Sisi glared at Huo Cheng, but he just looked at her innocently, as if nothing had happened.
Gu Sisi stared at him and then looked at her own hand. Unexpectedly, Huo Cheng reached out and wrapped her whole hand in his, then looked at her innocently again.
Gu Sisi was instantly speechless. This Huo Cheng really refreshed her perception.
She never thought that Huo Cheng could be so shameless.
Cough, cough, cough. While coughing softly, Gu Sisi tried to pull her hand out, but Huo Cheng held it too tightly and she couldn't get free.
Whoosh. Gu Sisi exerted too much force and accidentally knocked over the peas. This immediately caught the attention of Jiang Lihao and Yang Qian, although they had been secretly watching this side.
But the sudden big movement between Gu Sisi and Huo Cheng still surprised them.
Seeing their clasped hands, the two of them turned around tacitly, indicating that they saw nothing.
Gu Sisi was on the verge of tears, but Huo Cheng seemed to be addicted to holding her hand. He didn't even intend to let go when the peas were scattered all over the floor.
Huo Cheng held Gu Sisi's little hand like this and picked up all the peas with one hand before finally letting go of her hand. Then they started shelling the peas again, as if nothing had happened just now.
But this time, Huo Cheng didn't touch Gu Sisi's hand anymore. He was quiet and didn't do anything. Gu Sisi found it strange instead. It made her feel on edge, like a fool.
Finally, they finished shelling the bowl of peas. Gu Sisi felt relieved, no longer having to face Huo Cheng so awkwardly.
