Chapter 403: Chapter 280: Extra – A Basketful of Cute Babies (6)

Su Nian and his group arrived on the same night, Zhenzhen and the others only reached home the next afternoon.

Su Yan, now sixteen, has grown over 1.7 meters tall, looking even more handsome.

Nine-year-old Zhenzhen has also grown increasingly radiant, half a head shorter than Su Bao, still as smart and adorable as when she was younger, with a child’s temperament.

Su Yuecheng prepared a table full of dishes to welcome them, and as Zhenzhen wolfed down her food, she didn’t forget to praise, “Great-uncle, the prawns you cook are the best!”

“Really? Then you should stay and work here, and great-uncle will cook for you every day.” Su Yuecheng also knew that Su Nian had always been worried about this child, who had been so attached to her when she was younger, and now so many years have passed with only one or two brief meetings each year.

While eating heavily, Zhenzhen earnestly said, “Great-uncle, uncle said that once he graduates, he’ll bring me here to work, and then I’ll come to your house to eat every day!”

Su Yuecheng then turned to Su Yan, “Carey, how about you study over here?”

Su Yan looked up at him and shook his head decisively, “Not for now, I have my own plans, I’ll take good care of An’an.”

Shen Hanxiu looked at Su Yan, and although the child wore no expression, he always felt that the child was quite astute and by keeping his daughter close to him, was he not allowing his woman to jump into a pit of fire? After a moment’s thought, he turned to Su Zhen and said, “Zhenzhen, you’ve had enough fun, come back and study, your sister is also starting school, help take care of her.”

Upon hearing this, Su Zhen put down her chopsticks and looked very seriously at Shen Hanxiu, saying word by word, “Daddy! I’m not playing, I’m working and studying at school, it’s hard for me!”

“If it’s hard, then come back, daddy and mommy will take care of you.”

“I’m not afraid of hard work!”

Su Nian sighed softly, glanced at Shen Hanxiu, saw he wanted to say something else, and gently tugged at his clothes under the table, “Let it be, Zhenzhen said she’s not afraid of hard work, just let her be independent.”

Su Zhen immediately beamed and hugged Su Nian, “Mom is the best!”

Su Nian rubbed her head, “But you have to listen to your uncle, you know?”

“Okay!”

After eating, the children rushed to catch their flight. Su Nian initially wanted them to rest well, but their agent came to take them away, saying that this return was mainly to shoot a historical drama in the country. Both children had packed schedules and time was tight.

Su Nian, distressed by how hard the young children were working, drove with them to the filming site.

Su Nian, being their mother, was naturally aware of Su Yan and Su Zhen’s popularity.

But once at the filming site, she was still shocked by the huge crowd, barely able to move, all frantically shouting the names “Su Yan” and “An’an”, both men and women.

Shen Hanxiu, seeing the crowd blocked there, led Su Nian through another passageway.

“What if we can’t find them?” Looking at the vast company, Su Nian expressed her concern.

“Don’t worry, aren’t I here?”

Su Nian looked up at him, then held his hand, feeling relieved as she followed him.

When they found them, the two children were already getting their makeup done, and Su Zhen’s face, still carrying baby fat, was as adorable as ever.

“Uncle, can you do makeup for my mom too? She can play the aunt who rescues me, okay?”

The director looked over and smiled, asking Su Nian, “Would Madam Shen be willing?”

Su Nian hesitated, having no experience in this area, except for one time in Mai Nan Town with a foreign handsome man where she played an extra.

“Mom, just join me! It’s fun!”

The director also said, “The part is very simple. An’an is being chased, you just hold An’an and run away, and in the end, to protect An’an, you die under the sword, just a few scenes.”

Su Nian thought for a moment, nodded, “Alright! I’ll try!”

The director smiled happily, then called the makeup artist, “Quick, come change Madam Shen’s clothes!”

Shen Hanxiu gave her a teasing remark, “Always mixing in everything!”

The makeup took a long time, and Shen Hanxiu stood outside making business calls.

Su Yan, dressed in historical costume, looked aloof and detached; even Su Nian felt somewhat spellbound watching him.

Dudu, dressed in a little tang suit, looked naughty and adorable.

Su Yan was playing a little prince, while Zhenzhen played the daughter of the palace physician. The two characters bonded over certain events, each leaving an imprint in the other’s youthful memory.

Both of them were skilled in acting, so many directors liked to cast them; one reason being their high popularity, the other being that both children were quick to learn and mostly nailed their scenes in one take.
