In fact, of course, if he had known at the time, how could he possibly have neglected them, mother and child.
So, no matter what, Jiujiu was bound to survive.
"That reminds me, Cute also got neonatal pneumonia back then. Those two really havenât changed over the years, getting sick together. Letâs eat first, then Iâll take you to buy a phone," he muttered, "Modern life really canât go on for a second without a phone, how can I be at ease if I canât contact you?"
Eleven obediently sat down to eat porridge and said, "We canât go out, can we? Right now, everyone on the streets recognizes me, let alone if the two of us are together. If we get snapped by someone, it will never end, and who knows how theyâll smear us this time."
The imaginations of netizens are so vast, they could probably whip up a TV series in minutes.
"Is it troubling?"
"Of course, itâs troubling. Do you like being talked about as soon as you hit the streets? I certainly donât. I hate being judged like a panda."
"Our family is all star-struck. What can you do?" Gu Liancheng, changing in the bedroom, laughed and said, "Yet, arenât you about to take on a role? My wife is so beautiful and talented, and with me as your strong support, what path canât I clear for you? You will definitely rise to stardom in the future. Then going out will still be a problem, but consider it an early taste of the celebrity life."
"Husband, are you saying youâll splash the cash to pave my way?"
"Why not?"
Eleven pursed her lips and muttered softly to herself, âSo itâs spending money like water, huh?â
But one thing was right, everyone in their family was fated to be stars. Now, familiar to netizens, the family of four was well-known, and their two little darlings were the new generation of internet celebrities, impossible to escape the spotlight.
What he said was also true: wanting to be an actor, to film, even if he didnât pave the way for her, and she didnât become wildly successful, merely being Gu Lianchengâs ex-wife and the mother of Little Treasure was enough to attract attention.
"Weâll see... Besides, I havenât taken on a role yet, just auditioned, and the director hasnât told me the result."
"The reason you have no result is because you lost your phone," Gu Liancheng said with a knowing look, his lips curling into a meaningful smile, "Otherwise, would you have slept well last night? The calls must have blown up your phone from last night till now."
"What... do you mean?"
He finished dressing and came out, "It means that there are countless people in this world who want to owe Gu Liancheng a favor. Your acting isnât bad, being a graduate from West Shadow already guarantees something. Whether you fit the role or not, going with the flow is what people do most often."
"Are you saying... Director Ma Gang, because of yesterdayâs incident, might just pass my audition straight away?"
Gu Liancheng bent down to let her button his topmost button, so they were very closeâonly needing to lean forward slightly to kiss.
"A win-win situation, why not? Itâs great, you get to act, he owes me a favor in return, and yesterdayâs âadvertisingâ effect was pretty good too, why not do it?"
Eleven finished buttoning his shirt but her expression turned downcast.
"Doesnât that mean I wonât know whether Director Ma Gang hired me for my talent or because of you?"
"Is the answer that important?"
"Important! It matters for the confidence Iâll have when I stand and talk in front of you in the future!"
Gu Liancheng smiled, scratched her chin, "To me, itâs not important. Havenât you always been quite confident in front of me?"
