Chen Xiangyun unlocked the house door. Dabao who was watching anime on the couch rushed over the second they heard the door open.
“Are you alright, mommy? Did you pass the audition?” Erbao asked in her childish voice.
Ning Ran picked up Erbao, “Mommy’s fine, and the audition was a success.”
“Then, should we celebrate with a feast?” Erbao gulped as she said that.
Ning Ran reached out and tapped Erbao’s little nose, “You greedy little cat, all you think about is food.”
Dabao also came out when he heard the commotion from the study. Instead of jumping into Ning Ran like Erbao did, he just stood next to her as he looked at her.
Ning Ran walked over and carried them, one in each arm.
“Dabao, how did you do it? How did you find out which room mommy was locked in?”
“It was easy.” Dabao said.
He did not explain in detail, nor did he boast or gloat about it. He only said it was easy.
All of a sudden, Nan Chen’s face flashed by in Ning Ran’s head.
He too, didn’t talk much and was always quiet.
He never said a word throughout their lengthy confrontation earlier.
She looked back at Dabao. That faint coldness in his eyes and those thin lips that were tightly closed… He was basically a mini version of Nan Chen!
This was too scary!
Ning Ran couldn’t bring herself to think any further. This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” “Are you alright?” Erbao asked with her arms wrapped around Ning Ran’s neck.
“I’m fine. Mommy passed the audition, so let’s go have a feast……” “Aunt Xiang will treat us!”
“Yay! Yay!” Erbao cheered.
“You’re the one who passed the audition. Why is it my treat?” Chen Xiangyun said with a sad look on her face.
“Because you’re richer than me.” Ning Ran’s reasoned.
“You’d be rich soon as well, if only you’d just……” Before Chen Xiangyun could finish, Ning Ran gave her a glare and that shut her up.
The two had agreed on their way home that they would not let the kids find out about someone who looked just like them. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Their world was too simple and pure. She couldn’t let anything bother or hurt them.
“Mommy, you and Aunt Xiang are hiding something from us.” Erbao had realized something was off.
“No, we’re not. What would you like to eat, Sweetheart?” “Aunt Xiang will treat you.” Chen Xiangyun said as she picked up Erbao from Ning Ran’s arms.
“Ice cream, chocolate, cakes, hotpot……” Erbao started to list out food items one after another. After a long list, Chen Xiangyun concluded that she just wanted to eat everything delicious.
“Alright, as you wish.”
Cheng Xiangyun’s phone rang. She answered the phone as she walked into her room and shut the door behind her.
“Hello, Director Gao.”
“Xiangyun, I’ve looked at the pictures of the twins that you sent me. They are just too beautiful!”
“I have an advertisement project for computer lessons for kids available right now. Why don’t you bring them over to try it out? If it works out, we could get them signed up right away.”
“We’re such close friends now, so you don’t have to worry about the pay. It’s so rare to find such great potential in child actors these days, so we have a lot of room for collaborations in the future!”
Cheng Xiangyun jumped in delight as she heard that.
I’m rich! I’m going to be so rich!
These twins are going to get famous even before their actress mother does!
The pay for child actors was so high these days, even higher than adult actors! I’ve really hit the jackpot this time!
Cheng Xiangyun calmed herself down, and walked out of the room as if nothing happened.
“Ran, you must be tired. Why don’t you get some rest? I’ll take them out shopping and get them some nice clothes.”
“No, the kids can just dress normally. There’s no need to spend so much on clothing.” Ning Ran said.
“There is a need. They look so pretty! I’ve got to get them some branded clothes.” “You go on and get some rest. I’ll bring them shopping now, and then we’ll have dinner together later!”
