After the official announcement, Gu Qingwu was badly criticized by her rivals for a long time. Not only did she lose several new endorsements she was negotiating with, but a public account even wrote an article about how Gu Qingwu quickly regained her figure after secretly giving birth to a daughter in order to gain traffic.
The content was exaggerated, implying that Gu Qingwu used a mysterious recipe or something.
As a result, on the third day, this article was reported by an enthusiastic netizen, He Suichen, under his real name.
The storm lasted nearly half a year before it was completely settled. Gu Qingwu also accepted a new drama and joined the crew. After her half-month vacation, her schedule became very tight. She was followed closely by the media as soon as she left the airport. After the official announcement of the birth of her daughter, she did not avoid them much and would bring Xiaoli'er with her from time to time.
When getting on the car, the sleepy little girl was first reported to Luo Yuan. She bent down and sat on the special seat. The assistant promptly handed her a list of people who would be present at the crew's opening ceremony.
Gu Qingwu lowered her thick eyelashes, glanced at the name above, and after memorizing it, she put it aside.
"Sister Qingwu, our drama's other leading actress Chi Zhu has also arrived in Hengdian. I heard that this drama was invested in by her husband." The assistant whispered a few gossips beside her.
Chi Zhu’s husband is a famous actor in the domestic entertainment industry. After marriage, he rarely appeared in movies and instead turned to working behind the scenes.
In recent years, there have been several hit dramas that her husband has invested in, including this period drama with two female protagonists. Chi Zhu was one of the female protagonists, and Gu Qingwu was only willing to play the role after the director personally came to her house for three interviews.
Gu Qingwu didn't care who invested in this big-budget drama. When she arrived at the crew, she asked her assistant to take Xiaoli'er to the hotel first. She put on makeup herself and went to attend the opening ceremony first.
The process of the opening ceremony was very complicated, and there were also some reporters on site taking pictures, so Gu Qingwu didn't have a chance to stop and catch his breath the whole day.
It was getting dark when she finished her work and took the nanny car back to the nearby hotel. Coincidentally, Chi Zhu also stayed at the same hotel, and the two chatted about parenting experiences while sharing a car.
Chi Zhu has fair skin, and the bright red dress suits her very well. She looks a bit cute when she smiles: "My family is a boy and a girl. The brother's nickname is Chi Xiaoman, and the sister's nickname is Chi Sese... How did your little Li'er get his nickname?"
Gu Qingwu said: "When giving birth, my husband dreamed of a small red carp."
Chi Zhu was very curious about her. She had been staring at Gu Qingwu's beautiful face for a long time during the opening ceremony. If she hadn't been concerned about the media's cameras, she would have been unable to hold back and moved her hands. Now that there were no outsiders in the car, she couldn't help but watch from a close distance: "To be honest, your husband is still my idol."
Gu Qingwu was slumped in the chair, feeling a little sleepy at first, but when he heard these words, he was awakened completely.
She looked at Chi Zhu with her beautiful black eyes, and in those brief three seconds, she was wondering, what kind of unknown love affair was this with He Sui Chen
The next second, Chi Zhu continued casually, "When Jiang Nai and I went to the party with that group of men, your husband was there too. Oh my god... He was so handsome that I was stunned... But your husband probably noticed my little thoughts and after a few polite words, he asked about the cheongsam that women wear."
"You know, it's not embarrassing but it also kills my enthusiasm for him... So when he appeared on the trending search, I was so excited. I've always been curious about which fairy from heaven could make him break his vow."
As a qualified bystander, Chi Zhu witnessed the entire process of Gu Qingwu and He Suichen's hot searches. She watched with great interest, just like a female fan chasing a star.
At this point, he also said with a little regret: "When you had your wedding, I happened to be filming in a closed theater abroad, and I didn't have time to rush back."
She was also thinking about Gu Qingwu's flower girl and wanted to give her twins, a boy and a girl, as pawns, but they had already been reserved by Xie Lanshen's family.
Gu Qingwu probably understood what was going on. When Chi Zhu talked about He Sui Chen as her male god, it was probably just out of admiration.
The two women started chatting in the car and added each other’s contact information. It just so happened that their mutual WeChat friend was Jiang Nai.
After returning to the hotel.
Gu Qingwu entered the room, took off her skirt and high heels and went to take a shower. Xiaolier was taken outside to eat, which gave her some time to rest. The sound of water gradually stopped, and she came out wrapped in a bathrobe and lay down on the bed.
In the comfortable and spacious master bedroom, the curtains half-cover the night outside, and only the table lamp dimly illuminates the surroundings.
I don't know how much time had passed, the door was gently pushed open, and a small figure walked in. When he reached the light, he took off his shoes first, and climbed onto the edge of the bed with his bare white feet.
It was Xiaoli'er, who was leaning next to Gu Qingwu, looking at her sleeping mother with her big, beautiful eyes.
After a while, she stretched out her soft fingers and gently touched Gu Qingwu's tightly closed and curled eyelashes. She was secretly delighted and her little mouth curled up: "I also have eyelashes like my mother..."
Then, he touched Gu Qingwu's nose with his finger and said, "I have the same nose as mom's."
Xiao Li'er, as if he had nothing to do, touched Gu Qingwu's face all over. Then, holding his own face in his palms, he continued to stare at her sleeping face with great joy.
Every time Xiao Li'er was struck by Gu Qingwu's beauty, she cherished her own beauty in the same way.
Only at ten o'clock at night.
Gu Qingwu just woke up. When he opened his eyes slightly, he saw the little girl lying on the side of the bed in the light.
Because she hadn't come back to her senses yet, she seemed to see her old self in a trance. Occasionally, once or twice, she would lie on the edge of the bed like this, quietly waiting for Fu Wanwan to wake up.
At that time, what she was looking forward to was a kiss and a smile from Fu Wanwan.
Gu Qingwu stood up slightly, put his forehead against Xiaoli'er's, and said gently, "Are you back?"
Xiaoli nodded, raised her hands and hugged Gu Qingwu's neck like a cute little animal: "Mom is tired."
Gu Qingwu smiled: "I don't feel tired anymore when I see Xiaoli."
"I brought a midnight snack for mom." Xiao Li'er went out to eat delicious food, but he didn't forget his mother who was working hard in Hengdian. He took her hand and walked out of the bedroom, and said in a negotiating manner: "Would you like to have a bite?"
This tone was exactly the same as the one He Sui Chen usually used to coax her.
Even though Gu Qingwu had no appetite, he couldn't let his daughter down for this reason.
The lighting was turned on, and she sat on the carpet in front of the coffee table and opened the fragrant seafood fried noodles, while Xiaolier squatted beside her and watched. From the side view, her mother was also beautiful as if glowing, with snow-white skin. Then she looked at her own little hands and realized that they looked like her mother.
Gu Qingwu took a few bites of noodles, unaware that her daughter was staring at her face from time to time and being narcissistic to no end.
She felt that the seafood noodles tasted bad, so she ate a few more bites, turned around, and asked Xiao Lier, "Do you want to eat?"
"I don't want to eat anymore..." Xiaoli touched her fleshy belly and whispered, "Girls can't be too fat. We need to lose weight."
Gu Qingwu was amused, so he reached out and hugged the little girl, rubbing her face: "You little thing, why do you want to lose weight?"
"That won't work."
Little Li'er spoke coquettishly to her mother: "Dad said I was a fat girl last time."
"… "
Xiaolier has been anxious about her appearance since she was young. Not only does she cherish her face, but she also likes to hear the elders say that she looks like her mother. If she becomes a fat girl, it means she will become ugly...
How can an ugly child look like his mother
By then, no one will know that she is the biological daughter of actress Gu Qingwu!
Xiao Li'er's logic was perfect. She consciously didn't let herself get too fat. She even whispered to Gu Qingwu, "The little sister from Uncle Yuan's family can hardly open her eyes. Her grandmother still feeds her rice. What should we do in the future?"
Gu Qingwu: “…”
Little Carp worried about others for a minute, then said happily: "I am Little Carp, not Fathead Fish, hahahahaha."
…
Regarding her daughter's anxiety about her beauty, Gu Qingwu had a serious discussion with He Suichen in private.
The couple finally negotiated and stopped mentioning sensitive words in front of Xiaolier, and also tried to make her realize that she shouldn't care too much about her beauty. But Xiaolier really cared too much about her face. She applied baby cream every morning, noon and night, and had to carry an umbrella when she went out.
It’s not that she’s afraid of being secretly photographed, but she’s afraid that the sun will damage her overly beautiful face.
So whenever Gu Qingwu was filming in Hengdian, he could see from a distance that there was always a little girl holding a black umbrella, wearing a red skirt, standing in the corner and watching quietly. If there hadn't been an assistant accompanying her, this scene would have been quite scary.
Xiao Li'er likes to watch her mother act. Occasionally, when Gu Qingwu encounters difficult scenes, she has to reshoot them over and over again. When the scenes are finished and the costumes are taken off, her arms and calves are covered with bruises. The little girl is very anxious.
While Gu Qingwu was changing clothes, she stood outside wiping her tears, holding a blue handkerchief with her little fingers, waiting.
While waiting, Xiao Li'er would use her phone to send a voice message to He Suichen who was in a meeting at the company: "Wuwuwu Dad... Mom fell down several times while filming. I, I am so heartbroken. I am dying."
"Dad... can you make more money so that mom doesn't have to work so hard to film and raise Xiaoli?"
"From now on, the little carp will only eat one mouthful of food a day, okay? The little carp is easy to raise."
When these language messages were sent, Xiaolier cried so much that she was dizzy and couldn't see clearly where the clicks were on the screen.
Then even Chi Zhu in the dressing room next door received several notifications on her phone. They were from a WeChat group of bigwigs. She clicked on it and saw:
Gu Qingwu’s avatar popped up, along with several voice messages lasting dozens of seconds.
Clicking on any of the posts, I heard Xiaoli'er's choking voice: "Dad... our family is so poor, we have to rely on mom to make money from filming."
Chi Zhu: “—Is it so exciting?”
The author has something to say: First of all, I want to say sorry to everyone. Huanhuan spent the whole afternoon in the gym and was exhausted. I didn’t manage to combine two updates into one. I will make up for it tomorrow!!!
