Chapter 160

Qiao Muting suddenly grew fond of this moment before him.

To be able to sleep soundly for a whole night.

And to be able to see a face in the morning that he did not need to guard against.

He would find a time to talk to her; if she could accept living such a plain and simple life, without any illusory romance, he could truly regard her as his wife.

——

After Shu Xia got up in the morning, she accompanied Qiao Nainai for breakfast, and only then did she remember that she had promised Gu Cheng she would go to the hospital to see him.

She called Gu Cheng again to apologize once more, saying she would definitely go to the hospital to see him tomorrow; she could tell that Gu Cheng was a bit disappointed.

She would buy a gift for Gu Cheng to make amends when she went to the hospital tomorrow! After hanging up the phone, she immediately rushed to her adoptive mother's house.

On the way, she passed a supermarket and purchased a large pile of items.

Jiang Ye had been waiting at home early on.

Shu Chen was also at home reviewing his studies.

As soon as Shu Xia entered the house, Jiang Ye spoke directly: "You bought too many clothes for Shu Chen yesterday. He is still growing, and he might not be able to wear those clothes for more than a few days before they become too small. Besides, I saw the price tags; they are too expensive. You just started working and earning money; you should prioritize buying things you like with the money you worked so hard to earn."

Shu Chen had already been lectured all morning; not to mention his mother being unhappy, he regretted it to death himself.

"Mom, I earn quite a bit of money now, a few clothes are nothing. Seeing my younger brother dressed so handsomely, those clothes and that money have already fulfilled their value," Shu Xia persuaded.

"I'm just afraid you'll mistreat yourself." Jiang Ye understood Xia Xia best; Xia Xia would silently endure any hardship herself and never complain to them, fearing they would worry.

This money was not easily earned by Xia Xia.

"Sister, shall we go return them?" Shu Chen felt that as a man, he didn't need to dress too well.

Shu Xia said to Shu Chen: "They've already been bought, just wear them." Then she said to Jiang Ye: "Mom, I won't mistreat myself, look at what I bought today."

"At noon today, I'll make a few of my signature dishes for you two. Xia Xia, when you go to visit your second brother this afternoon, take these dishes Mom made over. Your second brother has been too busy lately; last night he was even complaining to me about craving home-cooked food." Jiang Ye took the two large bags from Shu Xia's hands.

Shu Xia replied, "Alright, Mom."

If it weren't for the fact that Shu Chen still had a lot of homework to finish, she would have wanted to take Shu Chen to visit the set as well.

These past two days, her second brother had switched to a new film crew and was playing the fourth male lead. This was her second brother's first time as the fourth male lead, and he valued it highly and was very dedicated. Perhaps one day her second brother could become the male lead; in her view, her second brother's acting skills were far ahead of Lin Xu.

She had also bought a few branded clothes and shoes for her second brother, which she would give to him when she visited the set later.

After eating lunch, Shu Xia carried Jiang Ye's loving lunch and rushed toward the film crew's set.

As luck would have it, their film crew's location shoot today was actually at the Laozhai of Qin Lao.

It must be that the film crew's guide or investor had some friendship with Qin Lao.

Therefore, she was very familiar with this road.

She drove for about fifty minutes and arrived.

After arriving at the place, Shu Xia called Shu Chen, and Shu Chen answered the phone and told her to wait for ten minutes.

His scenes had just finished filming, and the remaining scenes were night shots, so he had time to walk around the vicinity with her.

She had only waited for a few minutes when a security guard nearby recognized her.

"Is that Miss Shu?" the security guard asked as he approached.

"It is."

"I thought you looked familiar just now, Miss Shu. Are you looking to enter the villa? Mr. Qin said that whenever Miss Shu wants to come in and play, she can; Miss Shu, please just drive right in," the security guard said immediately.
