Chen Xueru had been in low spirits lately, tossing and turning at night without being able to sleep well. Tang Shuwén thought she was worried about Xiǎo Niàn and kept comforting her to ease her mind, assuring her that nothing would happen to Xiǎo Niàn.

Ever since the day he got shot, Xiǎo Niàn had stopped speaking, becoming as blank-minded as a wooden doll. Wēn Lán and Chen Xueru were at their wits' end and agreed with Tang Si's suggestion to take Xiǎo Niàn for psychological counseling.

However, the results were not good.

Xiǎo Niàn was still in his usual state, leaving Chen Xueru heartbroken.

The doctor said that due to the child's overly intense reaction to external stimuli, causing psychological trauma, he had actively isolated himself from the outside world as a form of self-protection. There was a chance that this condition might never improve. Upon hearing this news, Chen Xueru hugged Xiǎo Niàn and cried bitterly.

The Tang family used to be harmonious and happy, but everyone's mood had recently turned sour.

Chen Xueru was the unhappiest of all, rarely smiling.

In addition to worrying about Xiǎo Niàn, Zhào Yúnng's situation also troubled her greatly. Her piercing cries and vicious curses felt like the sharpest needles pricking at her heart.

On her third day back in the country, she received a call from Zhào Yúnng; she didn't know how Zhào Yúnng got her number but had called nonetheless.

Zhào Yúnng said that because of Chen Xueru's scheming, Tang Shuwén would no longer accept his own child and forced her to have an abortion. She vowed not to give in to their wishes but to bravely deliver the baby.

She even cursed Tang Shuwén’s future children, wishing that they would become mentally disabled and never learn to speak.

Chen Xueru didn't want to pay much attention to Zhào Yúnng's words. Driven to desperation by Tang Shuwén, Zhào Yúnng had no other choice but to call her and vent her frustrations. As a woman herself, Chen Xueru could understand Zhào Yúnng's feelings all too well.

She had discussed the matter with Tang Shuwén; he had clearly promised not to compel Zhào Yúnng to terminate her pregnancy and let things take their natural course, which was the best solution for everyone involved. She truly feared that any misdeeds might come back to haunt Xiǎo Niàn.

Zhào Yúnng's child was a child too, just as much as her own child was. With Xiǎo Niàn already ill, she hoped that Zhào Yúnng and her child would remain safe and not bring any further misfortune upon Xiǎo Niàn.

Tang Shuwen didn't know that Zhao Yuning had called Chen Xier until he saw a photo on his son's phone, which led him to open the recent call list and see Zhao Yuning's number. Then he realized that Chen Xier had been unhappy recently because of Zhao Yuning's call.

To make Chen Xier happy again, Xiao Nian was the key.

If Xiao Nian could recover her health, Chen Xier would surely be delighted and return to her usual optimistic self.

He alone couldn't bring a smile back to Chen Xier's face.

Cheng Anya knew about Xiao Nian’s condition and accidentally recalled that Ye Ningyuan had experienced something similar in his childhood. Later, he was inadvertently triggered by Xu諾的刺激，自己就好了。

葉寧遠的情況和小念有些不同。

唐舒文卻聽到一件事，刺激……

他具體問了程安雅，葉寧遠當初是因為許諾的死纔會雙目失明，不言不語的，後來是因為找許諾的玉墜纔會複明，兩件事都和許諾有關。

小念是因為槍聲……

唐舒文心中默默下了一個決定，賭了。

第二天早上，陳雪如的經紀人莎莎把梁紅玉的劇本給她送來。她的角色已經確定下來，是女三號，一名愛慕韓世忠的公主，最後為了救他，嫁給了金人和親。

女主角她自己也知道內定的是溫暖，所以她在剩下的角色裡挑了一個看中的女三號。二號是一個反派角色，然而感情太過強烈，並不是很適合她。

當不當主角，陳雪如一直無所謂，她看過原著，溫暖的確更適合飾演梁紅玉那種剛柔並濟的感覺，她的外表還是有點侷限性，冇有溫暖那麼容易上色。

Tang Mandong knew that it was Lin Ning's movie this time and she would go to be a trainee director again. Wen Lan said, "Mandong, you should focus on your studies. Do you not need to attend classes anymore since you're running around the set every day"

Chen Xueru smiled; she and Tang Mandong were on the same set, and this girl was very determined.

Tang Mandong said, "Mom, you don’t understand. In textbooks, directors and actors can only learn so much. It’s better to intern at a film set more often. Learning from Brother Lin is my good fortune; I can learn a lot of things. Who knows Next year, I might be able to play in my own movie as an amateur. Dad, you must provide the funding."

"No problem!" Tang Si joked. Tang Mandong had many interests, but being a director was what she was most passionate about. He supported her wholeheartedly. In A City’s high society, rich young ladies were always investing in amateur films just to promote people or have fun; his daughter being able to make her own film would be something he could take pride in.

Chen Xueru liked the role of the princess when reading through the script. Most importantly, this was the only character other than Liang Hongyu who had many scenes opposite Ye Yan, so Chen Xueru decided to become the female lead’s understudy.

"Xueru, you and Nuwan have acted in three dramas together"

Chen Xueru said, "Yes. Q Cheng City, Princess Qinglian, and Liang Hongyu—our fates are intertwined. Qinglian is about to air; Mom should enjoy watching it." The Tang family usually watched popular TV series for inspiration.

Tang Mandong believed that every investor was a fool who enjoyed abnormal content, producing brain-dead movies with no quality. They had to watch these terrible shows and see how they were directed and produced.

Chen Xueru just smiled; everyone had their own difficulties in the market.

The current plots of dramas didn’t have any cliché storylines,虐戀 was not heart-wrenching enough, or it wouldn’t air during prime time.

"I should support ratings for my wife," Nuwan said with a smile. They had been influenced by Cheng Anya and often watched 8 PM shows together. In fact, watching TV as a family at night was an excellent form of entertainment.

Now that new media was advanced, one could watch any drama on their computer.

If the family was in separate rooms watching dramas without communicating, how interesting would that be It would be better for everyone to gather around the TV and watch together. Spending a couple of hours each day doing this would help bond them as a family.

This was Cheng Anya’s idea. The Ye Family didn’t care how busy they were; they always gathered in front of the television at night, a habit that had formed since childhood. It was an excellent way for siblings and spouses to communicate.

Nuwan and Tang Si found this method effective. They started cultivating it from when Tang Shuwen was young.

Tang Shuwen picked up Xiao Nian, helped him wipe his mouth, and looked up at Chen Xieru, asking, "Have you been home all day"

Chen Xieru replied, "I have an appointment to watch a play with friends in the afternoon and will return home in the evening."

Tang Shuwen nodded, saying, "Then I'll take Xiao Nian out for a whole day."

"Where are you going"

"Just walking around," Tang Shuwen said with a smile. Chen Xieru thought about it and said, "I'll go with you two then, I can cancel the play, we can arrange another time later to watch it together. Where do you plan to take Xiao Nian"

Xiao Nian rarely appeared in public; apart from a press conference held when they got married before, he had never been seen in public since being scared. The Tang family protected him even better after the incident, afraid that media would hurt their precious son. Tang Shuwen did very well to keep things confidential.

"Let's go for a drive," said Tang Shuwen as he picked up Xiao Nian and kissed Chen Xieru before leaving. Chen Xieru looked worried; Wen Lan smiled and said, "Shuwu knows his limits, don't worry."

Chen Xieru watched their backs with concern, feeling a pang of sorrow in her heart.

If only Xiao Nian could get better...

She had finally given him a home, but now... Chen Xieru thought about the original intention behind getting married and then about her son, her heart ached. Then she thought about Zhao Yuning and her child, suddenly feeling overwhelmed with worry.

Wen Lan's gaze fell on Chen Xieru’s gloomy face, asking the question that had been bothering her recently, "Xieru, did you two have an argument"

Their relationship seemed fine before they went to their honeymoon. Though one couldn't say that they were a loving couple who showed affection openly, they appeared no different from ordinary married couples. Tang Si and Wen Lan knew that the foundation of Tang Shuwen and Chen Xieru's relationship was weak, so she didn't expect them to fall in love immediately or live happily ever after.

Moreover, with Chen Xieru being smart, broad-minded, and graceful, it would be easy for anyone to develop feelings for her. Their son wasn't bad either, so Wen Lan had confidence in their relationship developing positively.

During the honeymoon period, they called home every day. She could sense that their relationship was gradually improving.ng."A woman could only feel inferior in front of them.Moxiao Bai walked up to Moya and returned the courtesy by helping him adjust his necktie.
