CHAPTER 316: CHAPTER 316: THE EMPIRE’S WASHED-UP ACTRESS

Miss Zhuang?

Although doubtful, Xiao Qing knew now was not the time to ask. She smiled and nodded at him, then asked, "Could you tell me how to get a taxi around here? I don’t have a car and I wish to go out and buy some things."

The security immediately replied, "Looking to shop? There’s a new supermarket around here that has everything you could need. You might want to check it out first."

Xiao Qing looked in the direction he pointed and faintly saw the supermarket sign. She thanked him and headed there.

After she left, the security guard was puzzled.

It had been years since he last saw Miss Zhuang, and she became beautiful and also seemed not to recognize him.

Xiao Qing, however, wasn’t concerned with what the security guard thought. Right now, she only wanted to buy groceries and cook. She thought that living overseas for so long, she wouldn’t know how to cook Chinese dishes. But once she was at the supermarket, she picked out vegetables skillfully.

She couldn’t help wondering, could it be that she used to cook often?

-

When Da Bao and Xiao Bao woke up, Xiao Qing had already prepared a full table of dishes waiting for them.

The children rubbed their eyes and walked to the dining table, incredulously looking at the food. Xiao Bao exclaimed, "Mommy, mommy, come quickly, we’ve got a fairy..."

Upon hearing this in the kitchen, Xiao Qing was at her wit’s end.

Carrying the soup, she walked over, helped them wash up in the bathroom, and told them, "Mommy is your fairy."

Da Bao snorted, "Mommy, you can’t even make a double-decker burger, you definitely can’t cook these dishes."

Xiao Qing: "..." Child, your mom is Chinese, it’s not strange at all that she can cook Chinese dishes~

Xiao Bao suddenly slapped Da Bao on the forehead, "Brother, time to eat."

Xiao Qing couldn’t bear to watch anymore. After washing their hands, she let them eat by themselves as she was afraid if she continued talking, she wouldn’t be able to eat herself.

After dinner, Da Bao and Xiao Bao leaned on the couch rubbing their bellies and continuously burped.

Xiao Qing asked with a sense of achievement, "Is it tasty?"

Both children nodded their heads.

"So, do you still want to eat meals prepared by mommy in the future?"

The children shook their heads simultaneously.

Xiao Qing was stunned, "Why not?"

Da Bao did not hide his disgust, "If we eat this much every day, Xiao Bao will get fat and won’t be able to get married when she grows up."

Xiao Qing: "..."

Based on experience, now was certainly not the time to continue this conversation, as it would turn into an endless denunciation.

Denunciation target: her.

Therefore, Xiao Qing said, "Tomorrow, mommy has to go to the film set to shoot, before I return, you mustn’t follow strangers. I will ask your uncle to take you out to play."

"Wow, mommy, I’ve never seen a local film set, can you take us to see it?" Xiao Bao, no longer focusing on his round belly, climbed on Xiao Qing starting his coquettish charm.

Da Bao watched Xiao Bao disapprovingly, who was acting spinelessly. Yet, he did not pull her back because he was also curious to see what the local film set is like.

"Not tomorrow. Tomorrow is mommy’s first day at work here; I don’t know the situation at the site, so I can’t take you. In a few days, after mommy buys a car, I’ll take you there, okay?"

Faced with the children’s pitiful gaze, Xiao Qing firmly held her ground, "Just two more days."

"Alright then."

Seeing this, Xiao Bao quickly climbed down from her and returned to his spot, continuing to rub his round belly.

Xiao Qing didn’t disturb them, she took out her phone to check the news.

She heard that her scene tomorrow would be with an obsolete Actress from Empire, and she was quite curious to see what the Actress from Empire looks like.
