Chapter 32 Do anything for money
Helen listened to Luo Dai’er’s advice. She nodded and looked at Xia Nuan up and down carefully.
“The heroine of my MV is a bikini-clad woman. But I do not want someone skinny, instead, I prefer to choose a full bodied and lovely woman. You fit me very much in this regard. By the way, Chen, will you allow me to take Ms. Xia to get changed and have an audition?”
Helen asked Ye Sichen who was silent carefully.
Ye Sichen slightly pushed Luo Dai’er aside when she was about to feed him with orange juice, “It depends on her.”
Luo Dai’er chuckled out and said scornfully in his ear, “It’s such a good thing. She can not only make a profit, but also have a chance to be famous. Only a fool would refuse it.”
Ye Sichen turned away and began to tune his instruments, showing no expression on his solemn face.
Lacy seemed to be conscious of something unusual through his serious face.
Helen clapped her hands, “Hey, pretty girl, come here.”
Seeing this, Xia Nuan walked over with the vacuum cleaner in her hand, “What can I do for you?”
She thought that Helen would ask her to clean up the rubbish next to her. She couldn’t help but look around to see if there was any rubbish that needed to be dumped.
Helen smiled, stepped forward and gazed at Xia Nuan.
Xia Nuan touched her own face, looked down and then asked Helen, “May I ask you what can I do for you?”
Helen, who was mature and powerful, lifted her chin and squinted, “Would you like to take a short film with me? A short video for my music. You have a good figure. I want you to have an audition.”
Luo Dai’er giggled, “Ms. Xia, it’s a rare chance. Helen is famous and powerful in the music circle. You don’t have to worry about your future if you follow her instructions.”
Xia Nuan hesitated for a moment. Then she couldn’t help but look at Ye Sichen.
Ye Sichen, without taking a look at her, tuned the music instruments with his slender hands elegantly.
Luo Dai’er’s smile was suddenly fixed. There were jealousy and anger hidden in her eyes.
“Girl, make your own decisions. Even if Chen is your boss, he will not interfere with your thoughts.” Helen said softly in her ear.
Xia Nuan was struggling deep inside. She was short of money and needed five million yuan to pay Xia Yan’s debt. Any chance that can make money would draw her consideration.
In this way, she could also prevent herself from getting money from Ye Sichen.
“Once the audition is a success, you will get paid considerably.” Helen stressed it again.
Xia Nuan nodded, “Okay, I’ll have a try.”
Sometimes she hated money, but she needed it pressingly as well. She thought that money was a must for human beings to survive in the world.
“Very good. Go back and prepare for it then. Don’t worry. I will ask a leave for you from Chen.” Helen gave her a pat on the shoulder to encourage her.
Xia Nuan nodded. Before she went away, she took a look at Ye Sichen again.
“Humph! These are women who can do anything for money, let alone sell their bodies.” Looking at the back of the Xia Nuan, Luo Dai’er sneered.
Hearing of it, Lacy shook his head, “Not exactly. Everyone wants to be famous, including us.”
Luo Dai’er looked at Ye Sichen who was silent and refuted Lacy, “You get it through with your efforts step by step, but some people want to make it without any labor. They can easily get a jump with their wide-open legs…”
“Don’t be so mean before you really know a person.” Ye Sichen’s said coldly and stopped her.
Suddenly, the recording room was so quiet that even the dropping voice of a needle would be audible.
Luo Dai’er was not reconciled. She looked at Ye Sichen, “Am I wrong? Is she able to get this chance to be famous without us? I don’t understand why you care about her so much?”
Ye Sichen was silent, overlapped his legs and plucking a syllable with one hand. He didn’t want to argue with her in front of outsiders.
Helen tried to ease the atmosphere, “That is true. However, fame also depends on luck and talent. Even if one is on a high platform, it is of no use if he or she has no talent. Dai’er, she will thank you for your promotion once she becomes famous one day.”
Luo Dai’er stopped talking. She sat down and sulked.
Putting on a headset, Ye Sichen stood up, guided Abul to play bass, and immersed himself in the work together with several musicians.
Luo Dai’er pushed the stroller and walked out silently.
Behind her, some people kept close eyes on her activities. She knew that they were the two staff members sent by Ye Sichen. They monitored her specifically to prevent her from doing anything unsafe to Wuyou and Nianci.
The more she thought about it, the more she hated him. As his wife, she was guarded by him. All those long nights, she hoped that he could do a husband’s duty, but he hid in the rehearsal room of the recording studio. She was really fed up with him!
Dignified as a princess, she felt frustrated time after time because of Ye Sichen. She was not reconciled!
Luo Dai’er squeezed her hand pushing the stroller a little bit tight.
Back into the bedroom, her mother Fu Ya called.
Luo Dai’er answered the phone.
“Dai’er, how was it going? Did Xia Nuan leave? Did the plan work?” Fu Ya asked smugly.
Luo Dai’er’s eyes were filled with jealousy, “Mom, she could have left, but Ye Sichen did not approve it and he secretly cancelled her marriage with Ming Sen. Mom, I will never allow that bitch to get close to Ye. I’ve already introduced her to Helen. She wanted to shoot a short film video with Xia Nuan. I swear I’ll make her be insulted and ashamed…”
For the first time, she ordered Susan and Hui to unscrew the stroller. But even if the two children fell on their faces, Ye Sichen still had no intention of dismissing Xia Nuan. For the second time, she had Susan, Hui and Coade to match Xia Nuan with Ming Sen. It was still useless.
She was sure that there must be a secret affair between Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen!
In the recording studio, Ye Sichen’s private phone suddenly rang. He looked down and saw the news on the monitor which was connected to his mobile phone. He put down the headset, paused the recording, and put on the earpiece instead.
He could hear clearly the voice of Luo Dai’er in the earpiece…
After Xia Nuan cleaned the room, Helen came to find her.
“Hey, Xia Nuan, are you ready?” Helen asked warmly.
Actually, she really thought this girl was suitable for the short film of a bikini-clad woman.
It was just Xia Nuan was such a young woman. She got married, divorced, and delivered the baby so early. Helen couldn’t help but feel pity for all her sufferings.
Xia Nuan smiled and put down her work, “Ms. Helen, I can have the audition with you at any time, but before that I have to ask a leave from Mr. Ye.”
After all, she was still working for Ye Sichen at present.
Helen denied her, “Don’t worry. I have already asked Chen for your leave and he has approved that. You don’t have to be afraid of him. He is frosty on the surface but kind inside.”
Xia Nuan nodded and agreed, “Yeah, I know.”
Helen gave Xia Nuan a business card before she left and told her to go to Eddie Cineplex in Feicheng City to meet her. Xia Nuan bore the address in mind and kept the business card.
At this moment, Ye Sichen came out from the studio. Xia Nuan put away the business card, and went over to greet him.
Ye Sichen seemed not to hear it. He put on his coat and passed her by.
He became colder than before. His eyes were no longer as soft as the previous days. He ignored her as if she did not exist.
Xia Nuan’s heart jolted. She turned around and looked at his back, “Mrs. Ye has been taking care of the babies these days. I have nothing to do, so I want to keep myself occupied with something else outside. Mr. Ye, you don’t have to pay me for the days I’m on leave.”
Ye Sichen stopped. His eyes lingered on her face for a few seconds, “Since you’ve decided to have the audition, you’d better go to bed earlier.”
He went upstairs after he said that.
Xia Nuan wanted to explain that the relationship between her and Ming Sen was not as they thought it was. But she felt that it was not right for her to say that, so she swallowed the words for the time being.
Looking at the back of Ye Sichen, her thoughts were free to the day he was sick…
He must had forgotten what happened on that day. She wished that he had forgot about it.
Back to the room, Xia Nuan went to bed after washing.
Unexpectedly, in the midnight, the service bell on the bedside rang. Every time the service bell rang, she would be very nervous. Was there anything wrong with Wuyou and Nianci?
She put on one of her clothes casually, and rushed to Wuyou and Nianci’s room.
Wearing a black night robe, Ye Sichen patted and comforted Wuyou, trying to lull him to sleep.
But it was useless and he was in hopelessness.
Wuyou kept kicking without stopping. His little hands waved in the air and cried uncomfortably.
Unlike her brother, Nianci slept tight.
Xia Nuan went over. Seeing Wuyou’s dark blue face and hoarse voice, she frowned lovingly, “What’s wrong with him?”
She reached out her hands and took Wuyou over.
He would stop crying when Xia Nuan held him on the previous days. But today he cried endlessly.
“Perhaps he is hungry.” Ye Sichen was concerned. He took the milk bottle filled with water aside, “Breastfeed him.”
Xia Nuan unbuttoned her bra and began to breastfeed him. She had her back to Ye Sichen.
Ye Sichen turned his back as well and stood by Nianci’s cradle.
However, Wuyou refused to get fed, which made both of them even more worried.
“What happened to him?” Ye Sichen touched his forehead and felt that he got nothing to do with a fever. Then he unbuckled his pants and checked if the diapers were dirty.
He only woke Xia Nuan up because he had no idea what to do.
“Sir, leave him to me. I guess he should be somewhere uncomfortable.” Xia Nuan checked Wuyou carefully.
Ye Sichen said nothing and sighed sadly.
Wuyou began to vomit suddenly. Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen immediately began to feel alerted.
Xia Nuan held him up straight, gently patted his back and swayed him up and down from time to time.
Wuyou began to vomit once again. He spit out a red bean.
After that, he stopped crying. He held Xia Nuan tightly with tearful eyes. Xia Nuan picked up the milk bottle and then fed him with water.
There was a hint of anger in Ye Sichen’s painful eyes.
He investigated this incident overnight, and finally learned from the servants that Luo Dai’er bought the red bean milkshake for the babies before they went to bed.
Even if the woman did not know how to be a mother, she could at least learn the relevant parental knowledge. How could she feed granular food to a baby under one year old! Ye Sichen decided to forbid Luo Dai’er to take care of them from the next day.
Xia Nuan comforted Wuyou. She patted and stroked him lightly, trying to lull him to sleep before she went to sleep. But Wuyou lay in the arms of Xia Nuan, looking at her without sleeping.
Xia Nuan took a caressed kiss on his face and tried to put him in the cradle.
Wuyou began to snivel. He clutched Xia Nuan’s collar and wanted Xia Nuan to hold him.
Xia Nuan had no choice but to do so.
“Why don’t you go to bed first? You can’t stay with him the whole night if he will not sleep.” Ye Sichen walked over and poured a glass of water for her.
“It doesn’t matter, sir. You’d better have a rest first. I’ll be here to take care of them.” Xia Nuan lowered her head. She touched on Wuyou’s face and smiled softly at him.
She hadn’t taken care of them for a few days. Actually, she really missed them.
Ye Sichen sat on the sofa instead of leaving, “Luo Dai’er is in the bedroom and I will rest here.”
Xia Nuan was stunned. She looked up at Ye Sichen, and looked away quickly, “How about I take Wuyou to my room? In this way, he will not bother you to rest.”
“Don’t worry. Luo Dai’er has fallen asleep. She will not come in all of a sudden.” He knew that she was trying to avoid suspicion.
In fact, in order to avoid Luo Dai’er’s entanglement, he provided her with “sleeping aids” medicine every night before she went to sleep.
He couldn’t satisfy her physical desires. Why bothered to make her in a frenzy? Every time their sexual life ended up with disharmonies, she would scream like she was mad. He was really fed up with her.
He shouldn’t have started this ridiculous marriage at the very beginning.
Looking at his innocent son, Ye Sichen’s heart soon became soft.
Xia Nuan answered him, “Hm”. Then she just lowered her head and looked at Wuyou.
At this time, Wuyou sat up energetically. He pointed at Ye Sichen, “Daddy…”
