Chapter 129: I Can Also Become a Daddy

Mu Jingzhe had no idea that there was someone waiting outside the ward, but she had a rare good night’s sleep.

On the third day, Director Lu came to visit Little Bei to discuss something.

Encountering such a thing was a huge blow to the production team, but they were waiting to tie up all loose ends. At a time like this, they couldn’t afford to be dispirited at all.

The filming process had been halted, but they were burning cash every day. Director Lu was very anxious, so he came to ask about Little Bei’s recovery. He wanted to ask if they could resume filming.

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t bear it. “Little Bei’s throat hasn’t completely recovered. Although her face and feet are much better, her arms and hands haven’t healed yet. It might be a little difficult to resume shooting now.”

However, Little Bei took the initiative to agree. “Mommy, I’m fine. I can do it. There are no action scenes left. I can do it.”

Mu Jingzhe was still worried, but Little Bei had her own thoughts too. They couldn’t delay any longer. Not only did the director have no time, but they didn’t have time either.

They had only applied for a week’s leave, and half of it had already passed. It wouldn’t be good to delay any further.

“Mommy, it just so happens that I don’t have to talk in the remaining scenes. Besides, the character of Xiao Jiu is also injured. With my injuries, I will be able to film more realistically.”

Director Lu looked at the sensible Little Bei and was almost moved to tears. He patted his chest and said that if there were any suitable roles in the future, he would definitely strongly recommend Little Bei to his acquaintances.

Where else could he find a young actress like Little Bei, who was so sensible and easygoing?

Since Little Bei had agreed, knowing that Director Lu was in a difficult position, Mu Jingzhe had no choice but to compromise.

That day, Little Bei was discharged from the hospital. She filmed two scenes that night. Mu Jingzhe personally applied makeup on Little Bei, trying her best to make it as painless for Little Bei as possible.

In the next few days, Little Bei was still filming. Thanks to the care of the entire crew, Little Bei didn’t suffer too much. She just had some more crying scenes. Everyone nearly cried themselves blind as they watched Little Bei’s convincing performance.

Little Bei made people cry whenever she cried. Everyone was amazed by how good she was at acting surprised at such a young age and treated her increasingly well. Everyone in the crew doted on her.

The filming process was finished three days later than scheduled. After going through many twists and turns, the movie was officially completed.

Without stopping, Director Lu devoted himself to his next task. He didn’t dare relax at all. However, Little Bei’s work was done, and she could relax now.

Although Little Bei wasn’t a famous child star, she was the female lead, so Director Lu wasn’t stingy. He transferred the remuneration as promised the night the filming process was completed.

Little Bei knew that she had money now and wanted to shop. She said that she wanted to buy beautiful dresses for Mu Jingzhe and presents for her brothers, maternal grandma, and maternal grandpa.

Mu Jingzhe thought that since she had taken an extra day off, she might as well take one more day off. It hadn’t been easy for them to make a trip to Ocean City, so it wouldn’t be right if they didn’t explore the place a little.

“Then we’ll go shopping tomorrow.”

“Yay, Mommy is the best!”

Ocean City was a large coastal city after all, and it was much more fashionable than the county. Seeing that everyone was wearing beautiful dresses, Little Bei had long thought of buying some for her mother.

“I’ll buy a dress for you tomorrow, Mommy. You looked great in red last time. Let’s buy one this time too.”

“No need…”

“No, you must. And you must buy at least three pieces. You must also buy leather shoes.”

“Little Bei, you can buy these things for yourself. I really don’t need them.”

“The dresses you made for me are even prettier than the ready-made ones worn by others. It doesn’t matter if I buy some or not, but Mommy, you must buy a few dresses for yourself. I call the shots regarding the money I earn.” Little Bei domineeringly made a decision. “It’s just a few pieces of clothing. Mommy, don’t say anything else.”

In the future, when she earned more money, she also wanted to buy more things, such as a golden necklace for Mommy. Many people in Ocean City wore them, and she wanted her mommy to wear one too.

For now, she didn’t have enough money for that. She would buy clothes first and take it one step at a time.

Mu Jingzhe hadn’t expected her children to repay her in such a domineering way so soon. She happily agreed.

Then, they really went shopping for clothes. Little Bei kept looking for clothes to buy for Mu Jingzhe, whereas Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help shopping for children’s clothes. Autumn was coming soon, and she wanted to buy them shirts and sweaters.

The most popular style in the city was matching shirts and sweaters. The girls even wore dresses that matched their sweaters.

“Let’s buy yours first, Mommy. We’ll buy clothes for my brothers later.”

Little Bei sensed that and stopped Mu Jingzhe in time. She forcefully made Mu Jingzhe buy things for herself first. Just like Little Bei wanted her to, Mu Jingzhe ended up buying two dresses, a shirt, a skirt, and even a pair of leather shoes.

Every time she bought something, Little Bei would pay. Mu Jingzhe thought it was a shame that there weren’t credit cards to swipe now, or she would have watched Little Bei domineeringly swipe her card.

The domineering CEOs on TV would have to give way to Little Bei if she had to swipe her card. Mu Jingzhe looked at Little Bei and felt her heart sink.

After buying Mu Jingzhe’s clothes, they planned to buy clothes for the kids. “When we came over just now, there were several children’s clothing stores on the way. Let’s go over there.”

Ocean City was a big city after all, and it was perhaps because it was the weekend, but there were many people walking in the streets, making Mu Jingzhe suddenly feel like she had returned to a modern city.

On the way back, Mu Jingzhe looked at the passing crowd with a nostalgic expression. While they were waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Mu Jingzhe realized that Little Bei was holding her hand and looking at something, her eyes revealing a trace of envy.

Although it was only a fleeting moment, Mu Jingzhe caught it. She followed Little Bei’s gaze and saw a little girl sitting on her father’s neck, chatting merrily with her father.

Mu Jingzhe realized that Little Bei was envious. That’s right, who wasn’t envious when they were young? She had also been envious before. She didn’t have the ability to revive the dead Shao Qihai, but she could become Shao Qihai.

She had plenty of strength anyway. Mu Jingzhe stuffed all the clothes she’d bought into her backpack and squatted down to stroke Little Bei’s head. “Don’t be envious of them. Little Bei, Mommy can do it too!”

Before Little Bei could understand what she meant, Mu Jingzhe picked her up and placed her on her shoulders.

Little Bei let out a gasp and hugged Mu Jingzhe’s head tightly. “Mommy…”

“Mm, hold on tight. Is the air up there fresh?” Mu Jingzhe tilted her head as she asked this.

Little Bei finally reacted. She was shocked and delighted. Just now, she had only been a little envious. How had her mother known?

“Mommy, you’re so awesome. You’re wonderful.” The worked-up Little Bei hugged Mu Jingzhe’s head and kissed her forehead.

“Ha ha, alright.” Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but laugh.

The commotion between the mother-and-daughter duo attracted everyone’s attention. When they saw Little Bei on Mu Jingzhe’s neck, some people found it funny. It was inevitable that the two of them would receive many strange looks. Only a father would do something like this usually. Why was this mother also…

The little girl that Little Bei had envied previously pointed at them and asked her father curiously why Little Bei was riding her mother’s back instead of her father’s.

Little Bei froze for a moment but then saw Mu Jingzhe smile and reply from afar, “Because I’m strong.”

Mu Jingzhe was open and honest under everyone’s stares, not caring about them at all. This was probably an ability she had developed before she’d transmigrated, so she didn’t care about the gazes of other people.

Seeing Mu Jingzhe like this, Little Bei calmed down and even told the little girl, “My mommy is amazing.”

Little Bei bragged proudly. This was her mother!
