Chapter 514 – Mother Huo had it well planned. (1)

After almost a month, the video was so popular that it finally made it onto the most trending list.

Ivy went pinging Gu Shishi excitedly. [Shishi, you are too awesome!]

Finally, she got a response that almost brought her to tears.

[You did most of the heavy lifting. Afternoon tea on me?]

Ivy almost jumped up on the other side of the screen.

[Yes! Yes! I am free! I am free!]

As long as the workers wanted, it wasn’t unusual for them to go get afternoon tea when the boss is away.

After all, as long as the work got done, they could get off whenever. Rules were not strict there.

Ivy, as an art student, finally had the chance to meet the art guru and boss lady, she immediately grabbed her makeup bag and went to reapply her makeup seriously in the bathroom.

She also straightened up her clothes before she went back to her seat with the corners of her lips curved upward.

[Where are we meeting? Shall we meet downstairs?]

Oh, the joy of meeting up with an online friend!

Staring at the chat window, Ivy was both excited and nervous.

Nevertheless, all she was “typing…” blinking nonstop.

Ivy reached for her cellphone in her drawer.

She had just reached for her phone when she saw the message on her screen.

[Shishi: Er, sorry, Ivy. I’m afraid there has been a change of plans. I think I need to go unload right now… …]

Ivy: “! ! !”

Bang! Her chair fell over when she stood up.

Un, unload?!

The boss lady… … is about to give birth? ! !

Inside the CEO’s office.

Gu Shishi, her hands on her stomach, gasped.

But she still pointed at the table.

“Bring that notebook and pen with.”

“Ow ow ow…. And that photo album as well… …”

“And my drawing tablet… … can you also have Aunty Lin bring me a set of color pencils? … …”

Huo Sishen, his hand pressed down between his brows, decided to just carry her away.

“Be quiet!”

***

Gu Shishi had always heard that it takes a while between having one’s contraction to the actual delivery. As such, she wanted to have all of her painting tools with her in order to kill time.

It might even distract her in due time.

That was great thinking. Even though Huo Sishen brought only her to the hospital and nothing else, but Aunty Lin quickly brought everything Gu Shishi asked for with her.

Gu Shishi, however, was not able to utilize them.

When she was contracting, she was about to pull all the hair off of her paint brush.

And when she was not hurting, she just wanted to lay there and not even move a finger.

Trying to distract herself was too difficult.

Everything was all too difficult.

[Mission: Deliver the baby.]

[Award for completion: Advanced painting skill (living the painting)]

Gu Shishi gasped from the pain but was still a little bit surprised by that.

With the exception of refilling her health bar, she hasn’t heard from the system in quite a while.

She had been using the mid-level painting skill for a while now and still had not been advanced beyond that.

She had both anticipated and came to terms with that.

Mainly she had been distracted by many other things lately and had been enjoying the joy of painting.

“Hot dang!”

She hadn’t expected the surprise to come so abruptly.

She turned pale all of a sudden. She wanted to smile but she was in too much pain to be able to smile.

Looking at how Gu Shishi was frowning, gasping for breaths, her lips tightened and wanting to cry and to smile at the same time, Huo Sishen felt a dullness in his chest.

He had placed his large hands on her back and helping her relax this entire time.

He left to make a call to Siyi in the middle and talked with him a little.

When he returned, Gu Shishi immediately said to him, “You have not yet picked the ten names for the child.”

The corners of Huo Sishen’s lips twitched. “Okay, I’ll pick.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to pick. She was the one who had been keeping them from him. She had been saying how she was not yet done reading Poems of Song or copying from the Book of Poetry. And she refused to let him have a sneak preview at them because she didn’t want him to have a preconception.

Now that she was about to give birth, it had occurred to her again.

Gu Shishi blushed a little as well.

She was the main reason why this assignment had dragged out for so long.

She had wanted perfection and that was why this item was still open
