Incurable Chapter 68 She Has Talent (2)

The Whole World Once everything was ready, Liu Anzhi changed costumes. Even dressed in coarse cloth with her hair braided, the little girl still somehow looked fresh and ethereal. She listened carefully to her mother’s instructions. The moment the director called action, her expression immediately changed. Tears instantly gathered in her eyes. The sight of such a tiny child looking on the verge of tears made everyone around them suck in a breath. Even Mu Wan froze for a moment. “Mother~” Liu Anzhi called. Mu Wan came back to herself and immediately entered character. Mother and daughter completed the entire scene in a single take. The instant they finished, the director called cut. Liu Anzhi immediately transformed from the obedient, sensible little girl in the scene back into a child who loved acting spoiled. Tears still clung to her eyelashes. Yet she was already smiling. Her eyes were crystal clear inside their reddened rims. She stretched out both arms. “Mommy, carry me.” It was he...

Anzhi Comes to the Film Set After Liu Anzhi turned one, Mu Wan gradually returned to acting. By the time Anzhi was two, Mu Wan had resumed almost the same workload she had before pregnancy. Mu Wan was quite happy to be back on set. Liu Anzhi was also extremely well behaved. She would wait obediently at home for her mother to return, and during breaks in filming, Mu Wan would often video-call her. “Mommy, do your best filming~” At three and a half years old, Liu Anzhi was becoming prettier by the day. She was growing exactly like a little fairy. Her appearance combined the best features of both Mu Wan and Liu Qianxiu. She had Mu Wan’s lively charm and Daoist Liu’s ethereal beauty. Her complexion was cool and pale, her eyes large, and her loose hair carried a faint natural curl. Anyone who saw her found it difficult to look away. Her daughter’s voice was sweet and her tone adorable. As she encouraged her mother, she even winked at her. She looked like a little sprite. Mu Wan’s heart suff...

Incurable Chapter 67 The First Birthday (2)

A Camera and a Novel By the time the first-birthday celebration ended that evening, Mu Wan had already showered. Liu Qianxiu had put Anzhi to sleep. Even while sleeping, the little girl looked exceptionally sweet. She lay in her crib with thick, long lashes curling upward. Her milky-white skin looked so delicate it seemed as though water could be squeezed from it. Although she was only one year old, she had inherited Mu Wan’s hair. It was black and thick, with a slight natural curl. She looked just like a little doll. Mu Wan walked over and bent down to kiss Liu Anzhi. Even in her sleep, the little girl instinctively smiled after being kissed. The sight immediately sent Mu Wan’s maternal instincts into overdrive. She leaned down to kiss her again. Before she could, Liu Qianxiu pulled her back. His arm used just enough strength to draw her into his embrace. Mu Wan found herself held against him. Liu Qianxiu looked down at her and said softly, “If you keep kissing her, you’ll wake her up...

Incurable Chapter 67 The First Birthday (1)

Anzhi’s First-Birthday Choice Time passed in the blink of an eye, and Liu Anzhi reached her first birthday. She was the eldest daughter of the Liu family. According to the Liu family, such an occasion should have been celebrated on a grand scale. But Liu Qianxiu disliked noisy gatherings. Even though Liu Anzhi was the Liu family’s eldest daughter and might one day become the head of the Liu family, she was first and foremost his and Mu Wan’s daughter. So in the end, Anzhi’s first-birthday celebration was relatively simple. Only members of the Mei family and a few close friends of Liu Qianxiu and Mu Wan were invited. Everyone simply gathered together for a lively celebration. The banquet was scheduled to begin at six in the evening. Lin Wei arrived a little after four. The moment she entered Mu Wan’s house, Lu Yihe, who was in her arms, could no longer contain himself. His eyes darted around. Seeing Mu Wan’s empty arms, he called eagerly, “Little sister... little sister...” At one year ...

Incurable Chapter 66 What Did You Say? (2)

What Did You Say? After Mu Wan finished exchanging affectionate messages with Liu Qianxiu, she received a call from Lin Wei. The postpartum nanny had just entered to feed Anzhi. Mu Wan took her phone and walked toward the window. The sunlight outside was bright and warm. She narrowed her eyes against it and answered. Before she could say anything, the sound of a baby crying came through the phone, followed by Lin Wei frantically trying to soothe him. Mu Wan waited until she had finally calmed him down before asking, “Why is Little Seedling crying?” Little Seedling was the nickname of Lin Wei’s son. His full name was Lu Yihe. He was one month older than Liu Anzhi. Lu Yihe had certainly caused Lin Wei plenty of trouble while still in her stomach. But after being born, he was actually very well behaved and rarely cried. “What else could it be?” Lin Wei sighed. “He wants to go out and play. Everything else about him is fine, but his heart is already wild. I don’t even need to think about i...

Incurable Chapter 66 What Did You Say? (1)

Two Little Flowers After giving birth, Mu Wan had to go through another exhausting period of postpartum confinement and recovery. Everyone in the Liu residence revolved around her, and Mu Wan found all the attention somewhat overwhelming. Fortunately, she was naturally healthy. Her confinement and postpartum recovery took a little over two months. By the third month, her body had mostly recovered, and only the postpartum nanny and childcare staff remained to help care for the baby. Finally free from being constantly fussed over by a crowd of people, Mu Wan stretched her body and felt as though even the air smelled of freedom. She had barely finished stretching when the little one on the bed made two soft babbling sounds. Mu Wan immediately lowered her arms and hurried over to the crib. Before Liu Anzhi was born, Liu Qianxiu had already arranged for a nursery to be built beside their bedroom. Originally, the postpartum nanny had stayed there at night to care for Anzhi. But Mu Wan and Li...

Incurable Chapter 65 It’s Anzhi (2)

It’s Anzhi Mu Wan had overestimated her ability to tolerate pain. The pain of childbirth was completely different from the pain she had endured before. It felt as though her body were being torn apart from the middle. By the later stages of pregnancy, her belly had grown enormous. She became increasingly lethargic in everything she did. Even her appetite had decreased considerably. When Auntie Wu learned about it, she simply moved into the Liu residence. Aside from taking care of Mu Wan, she also prepared her three meals every day. When Mu Wan’s mother had given birth to her all those years ago, Auntie Wu had been the one caring for her as well. The food Auntie Wu made suited Mu Wan’s tastes particularly well. After lunch one day, Auntie Wu was clearing the table. Seeing that Mu Wan was becoming sleepy again, she reminded her, “Wanwan, get up and walk around first.” It was midsummer again. Even the small garden outside was unbearably hot at noon. These days, Mu Wan usually walked indoo...
