Chapter 508: Chapter 508

When it came to the protagonist’s interview, Qiao Xi took Su Tutu’s hand and helped her onto the stage, hinting at her to watch her steps as they climbed several stairs.

Chen Xu sincerely followed behind them.

This part took considerably longer.

Qiao Xi worried about Su Tutu feeling unwell, but fortunately, she held out.

By the time all the procedures were over, Nie Anfong took the stage to sing the movie’s theme song, and the premiere of "Twin Sisters" ended perfectly.

"Twin Sisters" truly began its promotion that night.

That evening, "Twin Sisters" unsurprisingly became a trending topic.

The combination of the original novel and the film drew significant attention.

Shortly after the film’s release, a well-known film critic who was invited to the premiere posted a review on Weibo:

"First, having read the original novel, setting aside the lead actors’ performances for now, the film itself, with its good script, cinematography, and editing, already guarantees quality.

The changes in the story and ending were quite surprising, and comparing the novel with the film, I find the adapted storyline more suitable for the audience.

The pacing of the story, alternating between tension and relief, deeply resonates, and the atmosphere created by the cinematography and lighting conveys the inner emotions of the three protagonists.

I looked up the film’s director, a newcomer making her debut, who, building on the original work, adopted her own style. The bold adaptation and apt casting of the characters make this new director a force to be reckoned with!

Lastly, speaking of the leading actresses, the film’s over two-hour runtime is supported by their performances. Chen Xu, portraying Zhao Mingan, still has potential for growth, but looking back at the entire movie, it is undoubtedly a deep work."

The critic genuinely praised the film from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, whether a film is good can’t be decided by critics alone, so how much box office and ratings "Twin Sisters" will garner, and whether it will win any awards, will be known in the future.

At that moment, after finishing the event, several people were outside having a late-night snack.

Sheng Chao added food to Su Tutu’s bowl, "Eat more, but don’t overeat, or you won’t be able to sleep when we get home."

Su Tutu, with food in her mouth, mumbled unclearly, "Mmm, got it."

Her bangs fell over her face, and Sheng Chao helped tuck her hair behind her ear, tying it back up since it had fallen loose.

His movements were practiced, clearly not his first time doing so.

"No one is competing with you."

Qiao Xi looked at Su Tutu, "Tutu seems to have a good appetite now."

Sheng Chao said, "Tutu’s appetite improved a lot after her morning sickness phase, she eats a lot every day, but..." she’s still thin.

He didn’t finish his sentence before Su Tutu interrupted him, "You’re the one who eats a lot, not me!"

As a woman, she couldn’t accept anyone saying she ate a lot, not even a pregnant woman!

Su Tutu confidently said, "Clearly, it’s your daughter who eats a lot!"

She rubbed her belly, her eyes filled with grievance.

Sheng Chao amiably agreed, "Yes, yes, our daughter eats a lot, not you. I misspoke."

Su Tutu was then satisfied.

"That’s more like it."

"How do you know it’s a daughter?" Xie Baola raised her eyelids, curiously asking.

"Ah, that..." Su Tutu chuckled, "I dreamed about it, I hope it’s a daughter!"

Sweet, soft, and fragrant daughter, how nice.

And she could dress her up like a little princess.

Sheng Chao: "I like daughters too."

Su Tutu suddenly widened her eyes, "Would you not like her if it were a son?"

Whatever he said now, she’d find fault in it.

Sheng Chao knew pregnant women could be , so he indulged her.

He wrapped his arms around Su Tutu’s shoulders, "Whether it’s a boy or a girl, as long as they’re our child, I’ll like them."

Su Tutu’s eyes widened, "So you only like your child, you don’t like me anymore?"

Qiao Xi and Xie Baola were speechless.

How did this sister become so unreasonable during pregnancy?

She even picked all the bones from the fish.

"I like our child, but I love you," Sheng Chao said.

Shen Dang clicked his tongue, unable to listen any longer, "Can you two stop being so mushy?"

Love here, love there, is anyone supposed to eat? Thɪs chapter is updated by NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt

Su Tutu immediately retorted, "Boss Shen, you and Xi weren’t any less affectionate!"

Qiao Xi grinned, "Thanks for the invite, but Shen Dang and I weren’t like you two."

Su Tutu huffed, "You’ll understand when you’re pregnant."

"Pregnant women have the final say, come on, sister, eat some more."

Xie Baola added a piece of meat to Su Tutu’s bowl.

Then, another piece of meat appeared in her bowl.

Xie Baola looked at Chen Jiayan, "...I’m on a diet."

"You’re not fat," Chen Jiayan said clearly, "A bit skinny, you should eat more too."

Xie Baola had handled everything from shooting to post-editing personally, and indeed, she had lost several pounds after finishing the film.

After the supper, everyone went their separate ways.

Su Tutu felt sleepy after eating, and Sheng Chao wasted no time, quickly taking his wife home.

Chen Jiayan also took Xie Baola home.

"Stop dieting, Baola."

"If you lose any more weight, you’ll just be bones, and it won’t be comfortable to hold you."

Chen Jiayan pushed her onto the couch, his eyes clear, "The movie has been released now, you should rest properly from now on."

Xie Baola wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling, "Let’s go back to the Xie Family for dinner tomorrow."

She still had company matters to attend to and needed to prepare for the Hong Kong Film Festival.

"Twin Sisters" had already been submitted for the Hong Kong Film Golden Awards, which was why she hurried to premiere it this month.

Chen Jiayan leaned down, and Xie Baola tilted her head to kiss him.

When their passion grew intense, Xie Baola stopped him, "Put it on first."

His restrained voice carried a note of patience.

Qiao Xi was invited to attend an international fashion show.

After returning home, she enjoyed a few days of peaceful, idyllic life.

It happened to be the weekend, and Shen Dang needed to work overtime at the company.

Qiao Xi joined Shen Dang there.

While he worked, she sat on the couch waiting for him.

Every now and then, Shen Dang looked up to see her quietly waiting, a smile spreading across his deep eyes.

Qiao Xi looked up to see him busy at work.

She remembered the times when she was filming in other cities, and Shen Dang always made time to accompany her on set.

Even before they were officially together, he would often appear by her side.

It was impossible to say he wasn’t busy.

But he still accompanied her to various events both domestically and internationally.

Qiao Xi suddenly became curious about when exactly Shen Dang had developed feelings for her.

Of course, this thought only briefly crossed her mind.

What happened in the past didn’t matter

They were doing well now, and the future would be good too.
