"Mom, why are you still up? Didn't we talk on the phone—I told you not to wait for me, right?"
When Xu Ting came home, she tiptoed upstairs and peeked in on Xu Nianhua, who was still recovering after giving birth. At that moment, Nianhua was leaning against the bed listening to the radio. Hearing Xu Ting return, she immediately switched it off and asked, "Well, Xiaoting? No one bullied you at the film set today, did they? Did your dad leave you there all alone? Filming at night—isn't it super hard?"
Nianhua fired off a barrage of questions at Xu Ting.
Xu Ting grinned wide and answered affectionately, "Mom, Dad's really good to me. And even the director treats me specially well, all thanks to Dad. Dad did want to arrange someone to stay with me, but I told him no—there's so many people around in the crew, I do just fine by myself. And, Mom, you know what? Acting is actually really fun. I seriously like it."
"Really?" Nianhua's gaze shifted upward, landing on Pei Yicheng.
