Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Cute Little Zhizhi

Bo Yan and Zhizhi had driven Yuran to her destination. When Yuran got off the car, Zhizhi was lying on the car window, his big dark eyes looking at her, "Mommy, can’t Zhizhi go with you?"

He wore a mask that covered most of his face, revealing only his shiny black eyes, which were round, large, and deeply set with pronounced double eyelids, making his eyes appear doe-like.

Yuran held his face and kissed him, "Hasn’t Mommy told you, my dear, that because of Daddy and Mommy’s situation, Zhizhi can’t show his face? When Zhizhi is older and can choose and face the consequences himself, then we can go out together, alright?"

Zhizhi’s little head rested against Yuran, and he nodded, "Zhizhi will listen to Mommy."

"Good."

The family of three disguised themselves well, and since this shop was extremely private, they were not worried about paparazzi and sneaky photos.

Thus, they could converse freely. Yuran kissed both father and son goodbye before she turned and left.

After Yuran’s silhouette had disappeared, Zhizhi climbed down from his safety seat and crawled into the driver’s compartment, sitting on Bo Yan’s lap.

Bo Yan closed the window and removed the mask from his face, "Baby, what’s wrong?"

Zhizhi wrapped his arms around Bo Yan’s neck, his tiny lips pouting, "Daddy, mommy said when Zhizhi can accept and face the consequences, we can go out together;

Grandma told Zhizhi that because Daddy and Mommy are big stars, if Zhizhi goes out with them, people will take photos, and then others might say bad things about Daddy and Mommy,

Daddy, Zhizhi doesn’t want people to say bad things about Daddy and Mommy;

Zhizhi loves Daddy and Mommy the most, Zhizhi can handle people saying bad things about Zhizhi, but doesn’t want them to say bad things about Daddy and Mommy."

Zhizhi was still young and though he struggled to express his thoughts clearly, which sometimes sounded convoluted, as his father, Bo Yan completely understood his son’s words, feeling both heartwarm and moved.

He soothingly stroked his son’s head, "Zhizhi, Daddy and Mommy love you very much, but you must understand that not everyone in the world can be liked by everyone else;

Eventually, some people might not like you either, but it’s okay, you are the strongest child, other people’s words don’t matter. The important thing is, you need to learn to distinguish, what is true and what is false in how others treat you."

Zhizhi looked at Bo Yan with his cute eyes, "Daddy means not everyone will love Zhizhi like Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa, and Grandma do, and Zhizhi needs to learn to see who is truly good to him, right?"

Bo Yan kissed Zhizhi on the face, "Right, do you understand?"

Zhizhi, somewhat comprehending, nodded his head, "Zhizhi knows now, Daddy."

Bo Yan, "Zhizhi, Daddy has something to discuss with you. You are a member of our family, Mom and I think that family matters should be discussed with you, and Zhizhi has a vote."

Zhizhi’s eyes glittered, looking seriously at Bo Yan, "Daddy, what is it?"

Bo Yan, "Zhizhi, Daddy and Mommy have been with you as you grow and haven’t been working for the past two years. It’s not that we lack money, but not working could make people feel worthless. Doing what we like is being responsible to ourselves. So, Daddy and Mommy want to discuss with Zhizhi that when you go to preschool, Daddy and Mommy will go back to work."

Zhizhi, looking puzzled, asked, "Daddy, how long will you be going to work? Can Zhizhi say goodnight and good morning to Daddy and Mommy every day?"

Bo Yan shook his head, "Face to face, maybe not possible, but over video, Daddy can promise to say goodnight and good morning to Zhizhi every day;

when there is time, we will chat too. We won’t be away for more than half a year. Can Zhizhi consider this and give Daddy an answer?"

Zhizhi thought seriously for half a minute before lifting his small, flawless face, showing some determination and courage, "Daddy, Zhizhi agrees with Daddy. In the future, anything Zhizhi likes, Daddy and Mommy won’t prohibit it, and Zhizhi will be good."

Bo Yan was touched deeply.

Embracing Zhizhi tightly, "You are really good, Daddy loves you."

"Zhizhi also loves Daddy."

...

Gui Yu looked at the girl sitting opposite him, her makeup exquisite and her aura fully engaged. He was somewhat dazzled. Two years ago, he had known that Yuran was very suitable for the role in the script he held.

Two years later, that feeling had only grown.

He smiled, "Miss Yuran, it’s really been too difficult to arrange a meeting with you."

Yuran smiled, "It’s not that I’m hard to meet, but as Director Gui knows, I haven’t been very interested in your company’s scripts before; not because they are bad, but because I don’t think they suit me."

Gui Yu shook his head in disagreement, "No, I believe you are the perfect fit for it, Miss Yuran."

Yuran smiled, "Director Gui, I can go for the audition."

"Really?" Gui Yu couldn’t contain his excitement, "Miss Yuran, you really agree to go for the audition?"

Yuran nodded, "Really, but before that, I have a question I’d like to ask Director Gui."

Gui Yu sat up straight, his expression serious, "Go ahead, I’ll withhold nothing."

Yuran nodded, "Director Gui is also aware that two years ago, I had some unpleasantness with Xia Ruyan. I want to ask about the upcoming auditions, whether Xia Ruyan will also be there?"

Gui Yu thought that Yuran was unhappy because Xia Ruyan was involved, so he immediately said, "Don’t worry, if you mind ..."

Yuran cut him off, "Not at all, Director Gui. I hope that you won’t cancel Xia Ruyan’s audition opportunity. I remember that two years ago, she gave no quarter in making things difficult for my artist. I am a person who is petty and holds grudges."

Gui Yu: "..."

Faced with that long self-deprecating statement, Gui Yu felt conflicted. Did this girl not recognize her own excellence? Was that why she was talking herself down?

Who speaks of themselves as petty, stingy, and vengeful?

Seeing that Gui Yu had not responded, Yuran pressed, "Director Gui, do you think I am too petty?"

Gui Yu quickly waved his hands, "Not at all, not at all. Since you don’t mind, we naturally won’t stop anyone. Rest assured Miss Yuran, our auditions don’t have any messy procedures, and knowing your relationship with superstar Bo Yan, we wouldn’t ..."

Overtly oppose Diyang.

Although Gui Yu didn’t finish his sentence, Yuran fully understood. She smiled, "My husband, he’s a good man."

Gui Yu: "..."

A good man?

He felt he needed to reconsider what those words meant.

His mouth twitched; he didn’t respond, not knowing how to continue.

With a calm and breezy smile, Yuran said, "Director Gui, you’ve had my contact for a while, so just send me the location and time of the audition directly."

Gui Yu, reassured, smiled, "Miss Yuran, our two-year wait was worth it. Rest assured, the script won’t disappoint you. I believe you can make it to next year’s Golden Bear Award for Best Actress."

Yuran: "Thank you for your good words."
