She reached out and held his hand. Even the temperature of his palm was lower than before.

She said softly, “We’re a quarter of the way through shooting this movie. If I keep the entire crew waiting for me, this waiting will take at least a year, and I’m reluctant to let go of the quarter I’ve already shot—especially since it’s the hardest quarter. So, I want to keep shooting. Nothing went wrong for the first three dangerous months, and I’m sure nothing will go wrong after that. What do you think?”

Fu Xiuyuan continued walking.

Shi Jin knew he was unlikely to accept it for a moment. She kept pace with him.

Fu Xiuyuan seemed to be walking fast, but he was actually walking very slowly, afraid that it would be difficult for her and she would not be able to keep up.

After taking a few steps forward, he stopped.

Shi Jin also stopped and faced him.

Fu Xiuyuan bit the tip of his tongue and pressed it hard against his cheek. A muscle moved in his cheek.

He lowered his gaze to hers. “I’d be reluctant to part with you, and my heart would ache for you. More than that, I’d be afraid… something would happen to our child.”

He put his hands on her shoulders. “But I’m with you on anything you want. I trust your judgment of your body and what you can do. Go.”

Shi Jin looked into his eyes and knew how much discomfort he had to overcome before he could say such a thing.

The whole point of what he was doing was for her own good. To respect her choices and understand her decisions.

She nodded gently. “I’ll take care of myself. And our baby.”

“I’m sure you can do that.”

Shi Jin smiled. “Hubby, thank you for the trust. Thank you.”

They stared at each other in silence for a moment.

Ji Hanxue was surprised to hear Shi Jin’s words.

“Are you sure Xiuyuan agreed?” Ji Hanxue originally had a headache. He thought that with so much preparation by the production team and waiting for Shi Jin’s schedule, he would definitely suffer a lot and encounter many uncontrollable situations.

Shi Jin nodded. “I’ve already discussed it with him. Coupled with the difficult scenes from before, haven’t I already finished filming them? My physical condition will also stabilize a lot in the future. I believe there shouldn’t be any problems in the next few months.”

“Since your health allows it, I have no objections. I’ll instruct the people in charge of your costume and makeup to take good care of you. If you can’t take it, let me know and we’ll adjust the notice.”

By agreeing to continue filming, Shi Jin had already saved Ji Hanxue a lot of trouble. Naturally, he had to take care of Shi Jin’s safety.

The core members of the production team also knew about Shi Jin’s pregnancy. During the filming, they took good care of her.

There were very few scenes left on the hanging wires, so Ji Hanxue arranged for a stunt double to complete these scenes.

Shi Jin thought about it and agreed. “Alright. It can’t be helped.”

“Alright, then go and rest. Let the stunt double complete these few segments. You can come and do the special scenes later.” After Ji Hanxue finished speaking, he called the assistant director to shoot the stunt double.

Shi Jin had just sat down when Yue Lanchen walked in with a lunch box. “Sister!”

“Didn’t you go to training?” Shi Jin asked.

“I’m free these two days, so I came out to take a look. I heard from my brother-in-law that I’m going to be an uncle. I came to see my little nephew.” Yue Lanchen put down the lunch box.

He held out his hand. “May I touch it?”

“No. He’s no bigger than a finger now.”

Yue Lanchen retracted his hand. He was not disappointed. Instead, he was overjoyed. “I made you soup. It’s very nourishing. Try it. It’s a preliminary connection between me, the uncle, and my little niece.”

He scooped the soup, careful to blow it to a good temperature, then handed it to Shi Jin.

Shi Jin did not have much of an appetite to begin with. Holding the soup he had made, she could smell the rich fragrance. Feeling her appetite stir, she picked it up and took a sip. It tasted really good.

Supporting her head, she narrowed her eyes in pleasure. “Your little nephew feels it. It’s very good.”

“Then I’ll bring it to you another day.”

“Sure, but don’t hold your own matters up.”

“Got it.” Yue Lanchen left with the box.

Outside, Fu Xiuyuan was waiting for him, looking slightly nervous. “How was it?”

“Sister said it tasted good. She drank three whole bowls,” Yue Lanchen said. “It means that your technique has improved greatly. As expected of someone who has practiced with me for three whole days. Let’s go. We’ll buy some more things later and I’ll teach you.”

Fu Xiuyuan followed his lead.

After entering the supermarket, Yue Lanchen said as he took his things, “My sister can definitely feel your kindness, but are you sure you want to keep cooking for her personally after this?”

“Yes.” Fu Xiuyuan nodded. “Will this carrot do?”

“No, it’s too old. Let’s switch to this one. It’s fresh,” Yue Lanchen exclaimed. “I just can’t understand the little pleasures of you lovebirds.”

“You don’t have to understand. You can just teach me how to cook.”

“I don’t even want to understand it,” Yue Lanchen said, speechless.

“Alright, Shi Jin, come and take a close-up.” Ji Hanxue called out to Shi Jin.

She got up. The staff in charge of makeup and costumes followed her nervously. The assistant was also afraid that something would happen to her.

Shi Jin’s figure was relaxed and did not feel sluggish at all. Other than knowing that she was pregnant, she actually felt no different from before.

“How about this?” The assistant director was afraid of tiring her.

“Okay, no problem. Let’s do it the same way I went through the scene before,” said Shi Jin. She gestured and started filming.

Gradually, everyone got into the mood and Shi Jin finished filming this scene easily.

“Okay, let’s do the next scene.”

After filming the scene, Shi Jin went over to remove her makeup.

She was washing her face when she sensed someone behind her. She glanced up in the mirror and smiled when she saw Fu Xiuyuan. “Give me a minute. I’ll be done soon.”

Fu Xiuyuan stepped forward and carefully hugged her waist. He reached out and touched her still flat stomach. It was unbelievable that there was already the crystallization of their love there.

“I shot all the literary scenes today. It was easy, and I finished quickly. Look, am I good?” She finished washing her face and turned back.

There were still some water droplets on her face that had not been dried. In the light, they made her look even more beautiful.

Fu Xiuyuan wiped the water from her face and kissed her lightly on her fair cheek. “Are you tired?”

“A little.” Even as she said it, she felt a little tired. This was something Shi Jin had rarely felt before.

It really was different being pregnant.

Fu Xiuyuan half hugged her. “Then let’s go home and get some rest.”
