Thinking of this, Auntie Liu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice. Could it be that Xiao Kong was seen by someone?"
Shen Qianqian rubbed her temples and said in a low voice, "I'm not sure. Forget it, it's fine. But try not to let Gu Hecheng and Xiao Kong appear in public in the future. "
After Shen Qianqian hung up the phone, she called Gu Hecheng again.
Gu Hecheng hadn't been sleeping well for the past few days, so he started to work late on purpose. Before going to bed, he would rely on alcohol to sleep.
When Shen Qianqian called him, he had just poured himself a glass of wine.
Gu Hecheng's gloomy and lonely expression immediately disappeared when he saw the caller ID. He became happy.
He picked up the phone nervously and expectantly. However, after the call went through, Shen Qianqian's voice still sounded distant and cold.
"I'm calling you at this hour because I have something important to tell you." Shen Qianqian was silent for a moment before she said, "Although I don't object to you seeing Xiao Kong, don't bring Xiao Kong to public places in the future."
"…" Gu Hecheng listened quietly to Shen Qianqian talk about her worries. "Although you're not always in the spotlight, you're a public figure like me. If you and Xiao Kong are photographed now, what if our past is exposed? Wouldn't Xiao Kong be trapped in the vortex of public opinion? I can't allow that."
"Even if our past is exposed by the media one day, I'm mentally prepared." Shen Qianqian frowned as if she was enduring pain. She continued, "I don't care about our past anymore. It won't hurt me anymore, but Xiao Kong can't."
Shen Qianqian saw that Gu Hecheng didn't say anything, so she continued, "No matter what, Xiao Kong is my bottom line."
"I know. It's my fault." Gu Hecheng, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke. Shen Qianqian, who was on the other end of the line, fell silent as well.
The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward. Shen Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "I'm fine. I'm hanging up."
"Wait." Gu Hecheng suppressed the faint pain in his heart and asked, "You just said that the past is nothing in your heart. Is that true?"
Gu Hecheng's words in a very low voice made Shen Qianqian's heart ache for some reason, but she still said, "Yes."
Gu Hecheng frowned when he heard Shen Qianqian's words. He instinctively covered his chest with his hand.
Shen Qianqian had hung up the phone. Gu Hecheng waited for a long time before the phone slowly slid down.
The next day, there was a dinner with the crew. Shen Qianqian looked out of the window, sighed heavily, turned over, pulled the quilt over and went to sleep.
In order to let the crew relax and have a meal together, the dinner was held in several private rooms.
Shen Qianqian's private room was mostly occupied by the main creative members of the crew. Lin Jinya happened to sit opposite her.
After a round of toasts, just as everyone was about to start eating, Lin Jinya noticed that Shen Qianqian was having a good time with the children brought by the executive producer. She suddenly asked, "Our superstar Shen Qianqian seems to have a lot of experience playing with children at such a young age."
Lin Jinya's words seemed to have a deeper meaning, and everyone present was stunned for a moment. After that, they smelled the obvious smell of gunpowder and awkwardly looked back and forth between the two of them.
Shen Qianqian frowned and looked at Lin Jinya. She knew that Lin Jinya was deliberately testing her and trying to embarrass her.
"Do I need to have experience in taking care of children to play well with them?" Shen Qianqian said calmly, "I just have a childlike innocence. When I'm with children, I just need to be patient. What's so difficult about that?"
"Oh, is that so? But I just heard you talking to our executive producer. It seems like you know a lot about children at all stages of their development. What's going on?" Lin Jinya grinned and looked at her as if she was watching a good show. Then, she took the initiative and said, "You're not going to tell me that you're a good learner and deliberately learned about some show, are you?"
"I'm so sorry, it seems like you don't pay much attention to me. You really didn't know that I took on such a show. If you're really curious, you can search online."
Shen Qianqian raised her eyes and looked at Lin Jinya fearlessly. "But it seems strange. You usually don't pay much attention to me. What's wrong with you today? You seem to be very interested in my affairs."
The people in the private room were all smart people to be able to get to where they were now. Of course, they understood what was going on between the two of them. Moreover, they were two people who had been at loggerheads with each other since the beginning of filming.
As the unfortunate person who became the focus of the conversation, the executive producer hurriedly interrupted them. "Come on, let's drink. Since it's the wrap party today, we should all be happy."
The executive producer saw that Shen Qianqian and Lin Jinya picked up the wine glasses cooperatively, but it seemed that they had no intention of drinking at all. Therefore, she could only continue to smile and say, "Since the two beauties are so interested in children, you should quickly find a good man to marry and have a lovely child. Then you can have a family and a career."
When the executive producer mentioned children, Shen Qianqian and Lin Jinya narrowed their eyes and looked at each other almost at the same time.
However, Shen Qianqian knew that Lin Jinya had a child, but she didn't deliberately make things difficult for her. Instead, Lin Jinya pretended to be casual and joked deliberately. "Who knows? Maybe she already has a child."
Lin Jinya raised her head and downed the wine in one gulp. She continued, "These days, there are all kinds of people. They hide their married or divorced identities, have children, and say that they belong to someone else. It's not like there haven't been such celebrities before, right?"
"By the way, many female stars have abandoned their children for the sake of their careers." Lin Jinya deliberately ignored everyone's sullen faces and said deliberately, "I seem to have heard of that female star before. What's her name?"
As Lin Jinya said, she deliberately glanced at Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian looked a little annoyed. Just as she was about to put down the blanket and leave, the executive producer hurriedly pulled her back. The director couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed Lin Jinya's hand and smiled awkwardly. "Seriously, you haven't even started drinking yet. How could you get drunk?"
After all, Shen Qianqian was backed by Gu Hecheng and such a powerful investor. The director didn't want to be unlucky, so he hurriedly winked at Lin Jinya.
Although Lin Jinya was a little reluctant, she still closed her mouth.
With a look of disdain, she shook off the director's hand and turned her head with a smile as if the shot had never happened. She said with a smile, "I was just joking. Don't be nervous. I'm just like this. I usually say whatever comes to my mind and don't think too much."
There was almost no reaction to Lin Jinya's words. Seeing that the awkward moment was over, they began to drink with their chopsticks.
Shen Qianqian just didn't want others to think that she didn't like to hang out with them because she was famous now. But in fact, she didn't like this kind of occasion very much. Besides, Lin Jinya made a scene, so she didn't stay for long.
When Shen Qianqian got into her nanny van, she looked at the time and saw that it was still early. She sent a message to her assistant and learned that they were eating happily. She didn't ask her assistant to come back. She closed the door alone and closed her eyes to take a short nap in the car.
There were always all kinds of people hiding in the vast night sky. People lived as if they were wearing masks and racked their brains for their own purposes.
Shen Qianqian didn't know why, but she seemed to have a very difficult and deep dream. She was shocked and suddenly woke up, but she couldn't remember anything. Her mind was subconsciously filled with Xiao Kong.
Perhaps it was because of Lin Jinya's aggressive attitude at the dinner table that made her feel unsafe. She sat in the nanny van and seriously thought about what to do with Xiao Kong. What was the best thing to do for Xiao Kong?
After leaving the set and returning home, Shen Qianqian had been thinking about this problem. Even though Xiao Kong was happily talking to her by her side, sometimes she felt that this happiness was unreal.
"Xiao Kong." Shen Qianqian thought for a while and called Xiao Kong in front of her. "Xiao Kong, do you want to go to school abroad? If you want, Mom can settle down with you abroad."
"Why do you want to go abroad?" Xiao Kong frowned and looked at Shen Qianqian. Ever since she came back from the set, even though she always wanted to smile and play with him, he always felt that something was wrong.
"Mom, did you have a conflict with Uncle Long Legs?" Xiao Kong asked subconsciously.
Shen Qianqian smiled awkwardly and shook her head. "Mom didn't have a conflict with Uncle Long Legs. Didn't Mom agree for you to meet him now?"
"But Mom hasn't played with us for a long time." Xiao Kong was a little disappointed.
"Xiao Kong, didn't Mom tell you that because of Mom's special status, that's why …" Shen Qianqian wanted to explain to him, but before she finished, she was interrupted by Xiao Kong.
"Mom, you told me before. I understand, but that's not what I meant. Now you deliberately don't play with Xiao Kong and Uncle Long Legs. You let us play by ourselves. Xiao Kong can tell." Xiao Kong pouted sadly.
