Shen Qianqian sighed and comforted Mother Liu. "No one has found out yet, but …"
"Gu Hecheng is here. I'm afraid that he will find out." Shen Qianqian could not help but tell Mother Liu the truth.
Mother Liu was stunned by Shen Qianqian's words, but she quickly understood what she meant. She glanced at Xiao Kong, who was rummaging through his clothes, stepped aside and asked softly, "Why is Mr. Gu here …"
"…" Shen Qianqian knew that ever since she told Mother Liu that Gu Hecheng wanted to pursue her, Mother Liu must have taken it to heart. But seeing that Gu Hecheng was getting more and more exaggerated, she could not tell Mother Liu what had happened in the past few days, so she could only find an excuse to brush it off. "No, it's just that we have some business dealings."
Before Mother Liu could speak, Shen Qianqian said, "Okay, I'll stop now. We're about to start filming. I'll call you when we arrive."
"Okay, I'll let Xiao Kong know in advance."
Mother Liu hung up the phone and walked to the bedside to sit down. Looking at Xiao Kong, who was full of anticipation and excitement, she did not have the heart to speak.
"Grandma Liu, what's the matter?" Xiao Kong, who had a keen sense of smell, seemed to sense that something was wrong. He immediately stopped and asked, "Did Mom say anything on the phone just now?"
"Mom can't come, right? Did we cause trouble for Mom by suddenly coming over?" Xiao Kong, who was smart, thought that he might not be able to see his mother. His handsome little eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
"No, Mom said that she can come over." Mother Liu pulled Xiao Kong to her side and looked at him guiltily. "It's just that Mom can only come over for a short while. You know that Mom is really busy with filming."
"Okay." Xiao Kong's eyes immediately widened when he heard that there was hope. He asked expectantly, "When will Mommy come?"
"If Mom comes, she will inform us in advance. She will go back after taking a look. Her schedule might be very tight after that, and she might have to go somewhere else. She might not be able to see Xiao Kong again, and she might not be able to secretly go out with us."
Mother Liu touched Xiao Kong's head and asked, "Let's go back after meeting Mom, okay? If Xiao Kong wants to go somewhere else, Grandma Liu will accompany you, okay?"
"Alright." Although Xiao Kong didn't have high expectations when he came, his eyes still dimmed when he heard this. However, he quickly convinced himself and said contentedly, "Although Xiao Kong wants to spend more time with Mom, I understand that Mom is very busy."
"Grandma Liu, don't worry. I won't let Mom worry about me." Xiao Kong was as well-behaved and sensible as ever, but Mother Liu didn't know why she wanted to cry.
She really didn't know how long this child would hide his existence. At this moment, Mother Liu secretly prayed that Gu Hecheng could win Shen Qianqian's heart again, and then watch this family live happily together.
Before the filming started, Shen Qianqian discussed the scene with her male counterpart seriously and expressed her hope that it could be finished as soon as possible. Perhaps it was the sincere anxiety in her eyes that made her male counterpart deeply feel her thoughts.
Because of Shen Qianqian's character, attitude, and professionalism, in the following shooting, the male counterpart steadily took over her role. Therefore, the last scene before dinner went very smoothly.
"Thank you." After Shen Qianqian thanked the male counterpart, she immediately called her assistant over. "I have to leave for a while. If I can't make it back in time, try to tell the director about this afternoon's scene."
"Where are you going?" The assistant asked casually, but Shen Qianqian was stunned.
"To Gu Hecheng's place!" Shen Qianqian had no choice but to make this excuse perfunctorily.
"Oh …" The assistant dragged the last word and looked at her with understanding.
Although Shen Qianqian was in a dilemma now, she couldn't explain anything. She could only let the other party continue to have this misunderstanding. Then, under the meaningful gaze of the assistant, she left.
Shen Qianqian quickly walked to the roadside to take a taxi. She didn't even have time to catch her breath before she rushed to see Mother Liu and Xiao Kong.
"Xiao Kong, Mommy is here!"
The moment the door opened, Shen Qianqian's heart was in a mess. However, when she saw Xiao Kong's face, she could only force herself to suppress all her anxious emotions. She put on the brightest smile, squatted down and hugged Xiao Kong.
"Have you eaten?" Shen Qianqian looked up and asked.
"I just finished. I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so I made a simple meal," Mother Liu said as she scooped the bone broth into a bowl with a spoon.
"Did Mommy not eat? I can eat with Xiao Kong. " Xiao Kong happily held Shen Qianqian's hand and walked into the house. "Mommy, Grandma Liu already told me. I know that Mommy's time is tight. Although Mommy can't stay with Xiao Kong for a long time, and I can't play with Xiao Kong, Xiao Kong is already very satisfied to be able to eat with Mommy."
Shen Qianqian hugged Xiao Kong with heartache. Then she squeezed out a big smile and said, "Okay, let's eat."
Shen Qianqian and Xiao Kong ate happily like two children. Mother Liu was also very happy to see them like this.
When Shen Qianqian finished more than half of the rice in her bowl, a white light suddenly flashed in her head. She suddenly remembered that she had used Gu Hecheng as a shield. She still had to go to Gu Hecheng's place later.
Thinking of this, she had a headache. If she really didn't go, she was worried that Gu Hecheng would be suspicious if the people around her talked to Gu Hecheng. She could only put down her chopsticks hesitantly.
"Mommy, aren't you eating?" Xiao Kong stared at Shen Qianqian with his big eyes. Shen Qianqian had no choice but to find an excuse. "Oh, Mommy gets sleepy easily when I eat too much. I still have to film later. This is enough. Eat more."
Xiao Kong couldn't tell whether it was true or not. He could only nod and continue eating.
"Xiao Kong, Mommy will go back first. When you go back, you must take care of Grandma. Don't be naughty." Although Shen Qianqian was very reluctant to leave, she could only kiss Xiao Kong's forehead and leave in the end.
Shen Qianqian quickly ran to the roadside and hailed a taxi. She calmed herself down and thought about what she should say when she saw Gu Hecheng later.
"Knock, knock, knock." Shen Qianqian stood outside Gu Hecheng's door. After hesitating for a long time, she finally knocked on his door.
Gu Hecheng was playing with his phone. Just as he was about to make a call, he heard the knock on his door.
Gu Hecheng instinctively stood up and hid his phone.
"…" Gu Hecheng opened the door and Shen Qianqian walked in. She hesitated for a long time, but she was too embarrassed to say anything. As a result, she didn't notice the moment of panic and avoidance in Gu Hecheng's eyes.
However, it was only for a moment. Gu Hecheng's eyebrows relaxed and his eyes were full of smiles.
"You're here." Gu Hecheng stepped aside and looked at Shen Qianqian affectionately and tenderly.
Shen Qianqian looked away awkwardly. "It's a misunderstanding today. I'm not here to eat."
"Misunderstanding?" Gu Hecheng smiled casually. However, the way he looked at Shen Qianqian was very deep and sharp. It was as if he was examining Shen Qianqian.
"Yes, it's a misunderstanding." Shen Qianqian pursed her lips awkwardly and told him the excuse she had thought of in the taxi. "Someone has been following me for the past two days and said that he likes me. Today, it's the same..."
Shen Qianqian smiled awkwardly. She deliberately avoided looking at Gu Hecheng's face.
"I had no choice but to avoid that person … Don't misunderstand." Perhaps it was because Shen Qianqian had acted inexplicably and was unreasonable in the first place, so she acted as if she was in the wrong. She wasn't as confident as she had been when she had rejected him.
"Other than me, who else is chasing after you?" Gu Hecheng looked at her with a half-smile.
The news of Gu Hecheng chasing after Shen Qianqian was probably known to the entire crew. He believed that no one would be so stupid as to deliberately kick an iron plate.
Therefore, the more Shen Qianqian said this, the more he was certain that Shen Qianqian was hiding something from him.
As for what it was, he hadn't thought about it yet. However, he was almost certain that he hadn't seen Mother Liu and the child called Xiao Kong today.
Although Gu Hecheng didn't know what Shen Qianqian's actions today had to do with them, he was almost certain that Shen Qianqian's purpose today wasn't to use him as a shield. She just wanted to hold him back.
Of course, Gu Hecheng didn't say this out loud. He just kept it to himself and calmly sized up Shen Qianqian.
Interestingly, Gu Hecheng realized that the more honest he was, the more Shen Qianqian avoided his gaze.
"Okay, I've said what I wanted to say. I'm leaving now." Shen Qianqian probably felt that she was in the wrong. Before she turned around, her tone was much gentler than before.
"I'm really sorry for making you work so hard to prepare so much food," Shen Qianqian said and hurriedly turned around. At this moment, she just wanted to run away as fast as she could.
Gu Hecheng watched Shen Qianqian turn around and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Regardless of anything else, even if Shen Qianqian felt guilty, at least she couldn't be so distant and cold to him anymore.
Therefore, Gu Hecheng wouldn't let go of this opportunity easily. Everything was going according to his ideal plan. He was approaching Shen Qianqian step by step.
"Since you feel sorry, you can leave after eating here." Gu Hecheng quickly reached out and grabbed Shen Qianqian's wrist.
"…" Shen Qianqian's body stiffened. She was pulled around by Gu Hecheng.
Gu Hecheng's smile and gaze were too warm. It was too embarrassing to reject him. Moreover, Shen Qianqian was already in the wrong and just wanted to run away.
