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...

Incurable Chapter 65 It’s Anzhi (1)

Learning to Hold a Baby Mu Wan had seen plenty of children before. While filming, she had worked with little child actors only two or three years old who could barely speak yet. They were soft, sweet-smelling, and adorable, and during breaks between scenes, Mu Wan would sometimes go over and play with them. But this was the first time she had ever seen such a tiny newborn. The baby was a soft little bundle, with milky-white skin and eyes as dark and glossy as black glass. He wore a pale yellow outfit, his tiny hands stretched open while his little arms waved back and forth. The moment Mu Wan saw him, she caught the faint scent of milk. Standing beside the crib, she suddenly had no idea what to do. She simply looked up at Xu Xingkong and said, “He’s so beautiful.” Xu Xingkong followed her gaze toward the baby. There was a deep tenderness about her now. Hearing Mu Wan’s praise, she smiled and looked up at her encouragingly. “Do you want to hold him?” Mu Wan’s eyes immediately brightened....

Incurable Chapter 64 The First Movement (2)

The Baby Moved It was not yet New Year’s Eve. But with the holiday approaching, the atmosphere of the New Year was already spreading everywhere. Someone outside had begun setting off fireworks. While Mu Wan watched, another explosion sounded. Her eyes slowly widened. A beautiful firework burst across the sky. “The fireworks are so pretty!” Mu Wan was lying flat. Getting up had become somewhat difficult. Like a little turtle, she flailed her limbs, trying to sit up. But her strength was clearly insufficient. She did not manage it. She looked toward Liu Qianxiu and stretched both arms toward him. “Pull me up~” Liu Qianxiu still had one hand on her abdomen. He did not answer. He simply stared at her. There was something in his dark eyes that Mu Wan could not understand. “What is it?” Confused, Mu Wan lowered her gaze toward her stomach. At that moment, another firework exploded outside. Boom. Multicolored light illuminated the entire sky. Mu Wan stared blankly at her bare abdomen. At the ...

Winter at the Mei Residence Winter had arrived, and the weather had turned cold. Xia City rarely saw snow, but today a thin layer had fallen. Mu Wan looked out the car window and breathed onto the glass. A patch of mist appeared. She drew a heart with her finger. Liu Qianxiu was stopped at a red light in front of her. “Liu Qianxiu.” The man looked back. Mu Wan smiled and pointed at the heart on the window. She watched as the corners of his lips gradually lifted and tenderness filled his dark eyes. The heart slowly disappeared. Mu Wan breathed onto the glass again and redrew it. She remembered Finland. Back then, she had drawn a heart on the window from outside. It had disappeared almost immediately too. In the end, Liu Qianxiu had painted the heart onto the house for her with red paint. Halfway up a mountain covered in white snow, amid forests dusted in white, there had been a single villa. And on its crystal-clear window, that one point of red had looked warm and bright. The light tur...

Incurable Chapter 63 I Just Wanted You to Comfort Me (2)

-
I Just Wanted You to Comfort Me The noisy conversation around the table stopped instantly. As Mu Wan turned, everyone else’s gaze followed. Most of the people seated there were women. The moment they saw the man standing behind her, their eyes widened. He wore a light brown cotton-linen shirt. His figure was tall and slender. Both hands rested on the back of Mu Wan’s chair. His fingers were long and well-defined. His complexion was cool and pale. His features were refined and handsome. At that moment, his eyes were slightly lowered. Long, thick lashes shadowed his dark gaze, making him seem unusually mysterious. There was something distinctive about his presence. It clashed completely with the lively atmosphere around them. Calm. Cool. Almost detached from the world. Like mist after rain, existing apart from everything around him. He truly looked like an immortal. For a moment, no one at the table spoke. Mu Wan finally managed to drag her gaze away from him. She took his hand. The back...
