"Mommy, you are awake finally."
Xia Xingcheng opened her eyes, it was Bao’s crying face and sound.
Xia Xingcheng’s heart ached suddenly, she hurried to get up and embraced Bao in her arms.
"Bao, what’s wrong? Are you crying? Mommy’s here. Mommy's fine." Xia Xingcheng hurried to comfort Bao, seeing Bao crying made her heart ache.
"Mommy, you finally wake up. I was scared to death."
Leaning on Xia Xingcheng, Bao was looking at her with tears in his eyes, looking aggrieved.
Seeing Xia Xingcheng woke up, Chen Ma was relieved too. She looked at Xia Xingcheng kindly: "Great, you are awake. What happened to you last night?"
Xia Xingcheng thought it over for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Chen Ma, I was drunk last night. I'm fine now. Sorry to worry you.” As for the drugging incident, she didn't want to tell them yet.
Chen Ma nodded and felt relieved, she could not help but give Xia Xingcheng a piece of advice: "You young people, you drink like there's no tomorrow. Bao and I were worried sick at home. The next time, don't drink too much. Okay?"
Xia Xingcheng nodded hurriedly. She had always been a poor drinker. In the future, she wouldn't drink again unless it was necessary.
In the afternoon, Xia Xingcheng was feeling fine and going to be discharged. Because in the afternoon, she had to take Gu Xingxi to the photoshoot with that magazine. She didn’t want it to be delayed because of her.
Chen Ma was trying to persuade her out of it, but Xia Xingcheng’s attitude was firm. She left Bao with Chen Ma and went to work.
Seeing it was almost time, Xia Xingcheng sent the address to Gu Xingxi hurriedly and rushed to the shooting site. She decided to meet Gu Xingxi there.
And on the other side, early in the morning, Zhou Daiwei heard that Sheng Chenfeng was arrested and he was scared to death. He thought Sheng Chenfeng had already succeeded, he did not expect that someone would dared to arrest him.
Sheng Chenfeng was still a member of the Sheng family, who would dare to offend him?
No matter what happened, Zhou Daiwei was involved. Thinking of this, Zhou Daiwei broke out into a cold sweat.
With a nervous mood, Zhou Daiwei hurried to the police station to see Sheng Chenfeng. When he got there, Sheng Chenfeng was coming out of the door.
Seeing Sheng Chenfeng, Zhou Daiwei became terrified. He could only gather his courage and greeted him: "Sir, are you all right?"
Sheng Chenfeng's face was livid. Thinking of what happened last night, he swore: "How can I be all right? If it weren’t for my father who called the lawyer to bail me out, who knows how long I have to be in there!"
Seeing Zhou Daiwei, Sheng Chenfeng found the way to vent his anger suddenly. He scolded Zhou Daiwei angrily: "This is how you do things for me?"
Zhou Daiwei was about to cry: "Sir, I did not know that someone would dare to arrest you. That person had a lot of nerves."
Sheng Chenfeng was puzzled too. He was afraid that Sheng Yeting had heard about this by now. They did not get along. In a few days, there was a gathering of the Sheng family. When that day came, he’s good days would be over.
Sheng Chenfeng became cranky thinking about that.
"Fine. This is not all on you. What about that woman?"
Seeing Sheng Chenfeng’s tone softened, Zhou Daiwei felt relieved. He replied hurriedly. "She didn't come to work today. But I heard she was going to a photo shoot for a magazine with Gu Xingxi."
Sheng Chenfeng responded lightly with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Zhou Daiwei asked tentatively: "Sir, should I call Xia Xingcheng to get over here?"
Now that Sheng Chenfeng was in great angry. It was a great idea to call that woman here and let Sheng Chenfeng vent his anger at her.
Sheng Chenfeng thought for a moment then shook his head and said, "No, don't mess with that woman now. I'll have plenty of time to deal with her later."
Zhou Daiwei hurriedly nodded, but he was full of doubt. From the look of Sheng Chenfeng, it seemed that Xia Xingcheng was not a simple person?
When Xia Xingcheng and Gu Xingxi arrived at the photo shoot, the photographer from the magazine had been waiting outside already. Seeing them coming over, he hurried forward to greet them warmly: "Miss Xia, Xingxi, you are here.”
Xia Xingcheng responded lightly. She looked indifferent. Only Gu Xingxi looked lightly stiff because he hadn't been in a photoshoot for some days.
The photographer was one of the best in the business. He was being enthusiastic because of Gu Xingxi’s popularity.
Seeing that they were here, the photographer ordered his crew to get ready and said, "Well, since we are a magazine for gourmets, all the photoshoot will be related to food. This time we will do the photoshoot in the style of the famous chef Zhang Lin. So our looks will be accompanied with each kind of food, okay?"
Xia Xingcheng nodded. She had studied the feature of the magazine before and discovered their style changed a lot because of the chef, Zhang Lin. His specialty was delicate pastries, like people used to make for the royal families in the ancient time. So the style must be domestic.
The makeup artist quickly got in place and immediately translated Gu Xingxi into an ancient emperor. Because of Gu Xingxi’s good features, he looked like a real emperor.
There was also an actress playing the concubine. What Gu Xingxi had to act was to feed the pastries to the concubine.
The staff was moving quickly and soon they were in place.
Xia Xingcheng stepped aside and signaled the photographer to start shooting. But somehow she had a feeling that Gu Xingxi was not in the state today.
Because his temperament was more like melancholy, and what this magazine wanted was a feeling of natural and warm, a feeling of love while feeding the concubine.
Gu Xingxi tried a few times and failed to get into the state. Plus, the actress was not being cooperative, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Expectedly, after a few cuts from the photographer, Gu Xingxi was showing a defeated look on his face.
"Everyone has been tired for a long time. Let's take a break." The photographer said to his crew irritatedly.
The photographer was feeling frustrated. He went to Xia Xingcheng to complain during the break. "Miss Xia, please think of a way to make him relax. There is a time limit with this site. If this take is no better, we will have no time to shoot another one.”
The photographer said and looked at his watch in reflex. Time was running out. If Gu Xingxi could not deliver, he had to ask the editor to replace Gu Xingxi with someone else.
