Yun Shishi’s heart ached when she looked at Hua Jin’s forlorn expression as he signed the termination letter. She understood the complex feelings he had towards the entertainment industry. It wasn’t home, but it was home. Of course he felt a certain reluctance to leave.

Yun Shishi was quick to reassure him. “Don’t feel bad. If you can’t bear to go, you can always take come back when you come across a good script!”

The actor smiled. “I’m fine. Just being melodramatic. After all, I’ve been in the entertainment industry since I was a teenager, so…”

He smiled again briefly. “It’s okay.”

He paused as a thought struck him. At the thought of Natalia, he frowned and said, “Oh, Natalia…”

Yun Shishi found his mention of Natalia odd.

“Where is she? I don’t think I saw her.”

“She should be in her room!”

The actor looked puzzled.

He wasn’t sure when it was that it had happened.

He just felt that he had been asleep for a long time. When he woke up, his head was throbbing, but he couldn’t remember what had happened.

He could vaguely recall Yun Shishi’s departure with Youyou and Little Yichen. However he remembered nothing of what had happened after.

Hua Jin came to Natalia’s room and saw that it was empty. He was about to leave when he spotted a beautiful crystal ball on the table. Before he could take a closer look, he heard the voices of Yun Shishi and the nanny outside.

“Young Miss is in the back garden!”

“Back garden?”

“I saw her earlier, playing on the swing in the back garden!”

The actor came out. The nanny greeted him respectfully when she saw him. “Young Master…”

“Is she in the back garden?”

“Yes.”

The nanny looked relieved when she saw him. “You’re finally awake. I thought you were feeling unwell!”

The actor waved his hand and said, “I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m going to check on Natalia.”

Yun Shishi stopped him abruptly. “I actually came because I was worried about you. You weren’t answering your phone. I was worried if something had happened.”

The actor was unimpressed. “What’s there to worry about?”

“Alice called you, but you didn’t answer. She has to have a handle on Natalia at all times. You understand.”

Frowning, the actor nodded. “Yes. I’ll call her back later.”

Yun Shishi nodded, reassured. She exchanged a glance with Qin Zhou and said, “I’m going home, then. I have three little ones waiting for me.”

“Alright.” Hua Jin turned to his manager. “And you?”

Qin Zhou raised an eyebrow. “Why? You’re in a hurry to get rid of me on my first visit?”

“No! I have no intention of driving you away.” Hua Jin assured the man.

Qin Zhou cleared his throat and glanced at him. “You haven’t given me a proper tour of your new home!” As he spoke, Qin Zhou looked around and exclaimed, “The villas here must be expensive, right?! It seems like you’ve managed to build up some savings over the years!”

The man had his doubts nevertheless. He had good knowledge of the actor’s income and no matter how he worked the figures, he just couldn’t figure out how Hua Jin could afford a villa here. But he didn’t pry. After all, it was someone else’s private matter.

Hua Jin froze at Qin Zhou’s remark. He really wanted to explain to the man that he had not purchased this villa himself. However, with Qin Zhou, there was just no way he knew how to explain it clearly. And if he didn’t explain it clearly, the man would inevitably overthink things.
