Priceless Baby’s Super Daddy

Now that their ship appeared to be sailing smoothly towards a dazzling future, Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen finally had the time to enjoy each other’s company without worrying what was going on in the outside world.

As for the rest of the people in showbiz, there was now some good news to balance out the previous torrent of scandals.

For example, the first half of “Red Sleeved Beauty” had shattered the previous record for highest viewer ratings.

As the story unfolded, viewers became increasingly invested in Xu Xiyan’s character, the palace maiden, Yao Yue.

“Majestic Land,” the theme song for “Red Sleeved Beauty,” quickly spread throughout the internet. Soon, almost everyone had listened to it.

Many people were surprised to find that Ni Yun had composed the melody for “Majestic Land.” This was his first time composing a classical-style melody.

It was a masterpiece!

They were also surprised to learn that the lyrics were by Jing Xi. The universally praised classical-style theme song for the show was a duet sung by Jing Xi and Ni Yun.

Thanks to the song, the show’s audience and Ni Yun’s fans now knew that Jing Xi had a lovely singing voice. In fact, her voice and Ni Yun’s complemented each other perfectly.

She had previously acted in Ni Yun’s MV, and now she had contributed her singing voice to his song. Her talent won over the hearts of many on the internet.

Ni Yun’s fans were amazed and curious at the same time: what was Jing Xi’s relationship with their idol Ni Yun?

In a previous interview, Jing Xi had admitted that her prince charming was Ni Yun. Were the rumors true?

A good theme song was always a boost to the popularity of a show; the ratings for “Red Sleeved Beauty” continued to climb as the list of glowing reviews grew ever longer.

After Xu Xinrou had been dropped from the production, Director Huang Guoqiang invited the famous A-list actress Ning Xin to join the show for the next arc of palace politics.

On the day it was announced that Ning Xin would be joining the production, she accepted an interview request from a reporter.

The reporter asked in the interview: “Ning Xin, I heard that you and Yang Qiong are close. Are you aware of her recent scandals?”

Ning Xin smiled pleasantly. “I think there’s been a misunderstanding. Yang Qiong isn’t a friend of mine, just an acquaintance. I met her during an audition once, but that was it. I don’t really know her. As for her recent news, I think it’s such a pity. That’s all I have to say. Thank you.”

Yang Qiong was her friend, but Ning Xin had chosen to distance herself from her as soon as she was in trouble. It was human nature.

Show business was chaotic, shady, and nebulous. Most people in showbiz chose to protect themselves at all costs—no one was dumb enough to willingly step into a puddle of filthy water.

Even so, everyone now knew that Ning Xin was a fair-weather friend. Her “friendship” with Yang Qiong had been entirely artificial.

But all the news paled in comparison to the best news of all: the darling angel Ying Bao was finally going to be discharged from the hospital!

…

It was now time for Ying Bao to leave the hospital and go home.

Ying Bao’s great-grandfather, Jing Huaduo, Ye Xun, Huo Sanyan, Fang Xiaocheng, Wang Dazhi, Lu Qiancheng, and Tang Feimo had all come to the hospital to celebrate her recovery.

The gauze on the little girl’s head had already been removed. The doctor had given her one final checkup and confirmed that she was now healthy enough to go home.

Xu Xiyan had dressed her daughter in a cheery little red dress and arranged her hair into tiny space buns atop her head, tied with cherry ornament hair elastics. The little girl was in good spirits, and looked it.

The adorable little girl looked at the adults in the room, who were all smiling and clapping happily. She said joyfully, “Wow, I must be the happiest, luckiest little girl in the whole wide world!”

Xu Xiyan had to suppress a laugh: her daughter was too easily satisfied.

She had evidently forgotten how much she had suffered. She had almost died!

Xu Xiyan kissed her daughter’s tiny face, her heart filled with tender happiness.

She was glad Ying Bao was still with her; her daughter was her beacon of hope.
