Song Ci could not help but laugh. Then, she looked at Song Yujin.

“Why isn’t my little darling saying anything? Hmph! How cruel. Don’t you miss me?”

Song Yujin was speechless. Originally, he wanted to ask Song Ci why she did not tell him the full details. He was upset. Most of all, he was angry with himself for not caring about her departure. The little boy really thought she would only be gone for a short while.

Hence, Song Yujin did not know how to confront Song Ci.

As for Song Ci, she thought her younger brother was simply being his cold and aloof self.

“Yujin, if you need anything, just tell your brother-in-law. I’ll come back whenever I have time.”

Song Yujin nodded.

“Okay.”

Song Ci reminded him again, “You have to miss me!”

Song Yujin nodded again.

“Okay.”

Song Ci was about to say something else, but Yang Haoran knocked on her door.

“I have to go now. All of you should go to bed. Goodnight!”

They bid farewell to each other before Song Ci left with Yang Haoran.

Song Yujin watched as Song Ci disappeared before his eyes. He became even angrier at himself. Throughout their conversation, all he said was “okay”! In reality, he had many questions for her. Unlike him, Lu Suo spoke to Song Ci a lot.

‘If I knew she was going to be gone for a long time, then I…’

Song Yujin continued to be angry with himself, which was rare.

Since Song Ci was clingy and childish, was it hard for her to leave them?

Song Yujin felt that he had let Song Ci down before they parted.

Anyway, Lu Suo said to Lu Gan, “Daddy, you can be rest assured now. Mommy won’t have any new adult friends. She’ll also try to come home early.”

Lu Gan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Am I supposed to thank you?”

Lu Suo replied proudly, “No need to thank me!”

He felt really great. Lu Gan and Song Ci may not be his biological parents, but they were still his guardians. Thus, he had to maintain their relationship!

Song Yujin was still preoccupied with his thoughts.

‘Maybe I should get her a gift. She’ll definitely be sad because she couldn’t see me for a long time. This is simply a fact.’

With that notion in mind, Song Yujin’s mood brightened. He had finally found a way to remedy the situation.

Meanwhile, Song Ci had just greeted the director and crew. A number of managers and assistants were also present.

Yang Haoran sat in a corner and observed the main cast quietly. Then, he whispered to Song Ci, “Fu Wenze is only slightly famous, but he’s not present.”

Song Ci replied, “Uncle Fu is good at acting, so he doesn’t need to meddle as much. Besides, he’s old and probably needs to rest.”

Suddenly, Director Zhao announced, “Almost everyone is here. Let’s familiarize ourselves with each other and rehearse a few scenes. Why don’t we begin with where the plot conflicts? Jingming, you’re the male lead so we’ll start with you.”

There was a minor change in Lu Jingming’s expression. He thought they would start from the first act, so he only memorized that section. Unexpectedly, Director Zhao chose to rehearse the middle part. Lu Jingming felt a little helpless and could only flip through the script.

Of course, without proper preparation, Lu Jingming was unable to deliver the lines convincingly. In fact, he sounded quite robotic.

Director Zhao tried to comfort him by saying, “Jingming, relax. Don’t be so nervous.”

Lu Jingming nodded.

Unfortunately, his performance did not improve.
