Chapter 1173: Chapter 1169 Sweet Daily Life
“It must be, trust me.” Si Yelin nodded earnestly, got up and walked upstairs. Right before leaving, he mischievously ruffled his little sister’s hair.
“Second brother, you’re so annoying!” Si Zhilan was genuinely exasperated. Why couldn’t her second brother ever grow up!
Mrs. Si shook her head and laughed, as if she could foresee that there would soon be more little feet running around at home, making the household much warmer.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Si suppressed her smile and let out a slight sigh.
Meanwhile, Qiao Xiaren had just finished filming a scene and returned to her apartment. Although it was a one-take success, she still felt uncomfortable getting drenched by the water truck in the chilly November weather.
The water was bone-chilling as it sprayed down. The scene was already difficult to perform, requiring an emotional outburst, and Qiao Xiaren still hadn’t fully recovered her composure.
“Annie, quickly run a bath for Xiaren.”
Yunduo was drying Qiao Xiaren’s hair with a towel while handing her hot water.
“You take a good rest first, I’ll head back to the company.” Guemov hesitated to stay, but with the two girls there, he felt more at ease.
“Guemov, go ahead. The two of us can take care of Qiao.” Annie returned after running the hot water and urged Qiao Xiaren to go take a bath.
Guemov nodded and left, closing the door behind him.
“Got cold, didn’t you?” Yunduo took the hot water from her and suggested she take a hot shower, as there was nothing more effective at the moment.
Qiao Xiaren stayed inside for half an hour before coming out, finally feeling physically and emotionally relaxed. As soon as she emerged, a light aroma wafted over from the kitchen, while Annie sat on the sofa playing with her phone.
“Qiao, feeling better?”
Qiao Xiaren nodded. Smelling the increasingly rich aroma from the kitchen, she couldn’t help but ask, “Could that be Yunduo in there?”
“Yep.” Annie’s lips curved into a smile. “Who knew that Yunduo is such a great cook? She said that since you were just drenched by the water truck, you need some hot soup to warm you up.”
Qiao Xiaren chuckled, “You guys are all so considerate, looks like I can’t avoid giving you a raise.”
This world still has plenty of people who treat you well. Although Yunduo and Annie were her assistants, they were so thoughtful and warm-hearted, making anyone feel cozy.
“Yes, our job is to take care of your life and work in every detail.” Annie grinned playfully, “I can’t wait to try Yunduo’s soup. Oh, Qiao, we’ll be staying here tonight.”
“Feel free to stay anytime.” Qiao Xiaren casually picked up her phone, noticing a number of missed messages and calls, almost all from Si Limo.
Far away in this foreign land, she suddenly missed him very much. Despite the significant time difference, she couldn’t resist wanting to talk with him anytime, sharing daily happenings.
She dialed back, and his voice sounded from the other end, “Did you miss me?”
That deliberately drawn-out tone, filled with meaning.
“How did you know again?”
He stood by the window, eyes fixed outside, showing a rare tenderness, “My dear Ranran missed me, of course, I could sense it first thing.”
Qiao Xiaren laughed at his teasing, “You’re talking nonsense again!”
He replied earnestly, “Really, if you don’t believe me, close your eyes.”
Helpless against his coaxing, Qiao Xiaren felt a little speechless. Annie, noticing her state, knew she was chatting with her boyfriend and also took out her phone to chat with friends, intending not to interrupt them.
