Chapter 27: Beautifully Done

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Xu Xiyan rubbed at her nose, uncertain of what she should feel. She was worried that all of their silly jokes would be bad for Ying Bao’s upbringing, her education.

They moved from the entrance hall into the house. Fang Xiaocheng immediately began to busy herself with her chores. She did not ask where Xu Xiyan had really been for the entire night.

Xu Xiyan couldn’t help but ask.

“Orange...aren’t you worried about me? I didn’t come back last night.”

“Not one bit, and let me say, you really full of surprises.”

Xu Xiyan wasn’t sure how to respond. “...”

“See for yourself!” Fang Xiaocheng said, handing over the newspaper. Xu Xiyan took a look at it, and was shocked by the headlines.

And the sense of security that would come with a permanent home would be well worth it; she and Ying Bao would no longer have to move from place to place.

“Well, all right,” said Fang Xiaocheng. “Let me drive you.”

Though Fang Xiaocheng didn’t approve of Xu Xiyan working so hard, she was her best friend, and wanted to drive her.

When they arrived at the set, Xu Xiyan entrusted Ying Bao to Fang Xiaocheng’s care. Xu Xiyan went in as the both of them waited in the car.

She was on the set of a police drama film called “The Root of Evil,” and she soon found the stage manager, Mr. Xing, and introduced herself.

Mr. Xing glanced over her papers and looked her up and down.

What a fragile-looking beauty. Is she up to the task of performing as a stunt double for the role of a police woman?

“Can you do it? You’re so thin!”

Mr. Xing looked doubtful...
