“He’s at the military base. He couldn’t come,” Lin Qian replied as she held onto her son. Although her husband couldn’t be by her side, Emma could tell that Lin Qian wasn’t upset. “Although he can’t provide me with much warmth, he’s made me very proud. I’m sure our son will learn from him and be strong and bold.”

“Then, are you still planning to return to the industry?”

“Hasn’t Superstar Media already been returned to Kaleidoscope?” Lin Qian asked. “Plus, you’ve already compensated me for my shares…”

“Ever since ‘The Ant Queen’ became a huge hit, the board of directors have started to turn a blind eye to my matters. I’m sure they won’t reject me if I mention Superstar Media to them again,” Emma replied. “That’s why I’m planning to let you guys manage it. After all, there’s too much hidden and wasted talent in the industry. I still hope we can create a few more Luo Shengs and Xing Lans.”

“You don’t need an assistant anymore?”

“Don’t I have a manager?” Emma asked with a raised eyebrow. “Besides, I work behind-the-scenes these days. I don’t need an assistant to take care of me; Eric and Luke is enough.”

Lin Qian actually wanted to return to work because she had never been one to stay at home and do nothing. Sure, her husband’s family had an influential background and she had just given birth to a son, but…

“Then you should return to work,” Mother Li’s voice suddenly resounded from behind the two women. No one knew how long she had been standing there and how much of their conversation she had heard. “While these old bag of bones are still mobile, I’d be more than happy to take care of my grandson.”

“But, mom…”

“Qian Qian, the two of us are already satisfied that you married our Li Jin and gave birth to a child. As I’ve always said, you’re still young, you shouldn’t put your life on hold because of becoming a mother. You should return to work…” Mother Li said in a thoughtful and open-minded manner.

“Look, you have the best example beside you: Emma already has three children, yet she’s managed to balance both her family and career really well. I am not against the idea of you working. I don’t care about the old prideful ideals of the rest of the family. So what if you’re in the entertainment industry? You’ve achieved everything with your own hands. Why should they be so judgmental?”

Lin Qian felt that meeting the Li Family was the most worthwhile thing that ever happened to her.

She had a great husband and an understanding and open-minded mother-in-law.

“Mom, thank you.”

“I should be the one that’s thanking you. Even at a crucial moment like this, Li Jin couldn’t be by your side, yet you didn’t complain, even though I understand, as a mother, how you must be feeling. You’re a good child that deserves to be doted on.”

Emma looked at the two women and smiled as her heart filled with warmth.

Meanwhile, Lisa looked at the two in admiration. Mother Lu had applied so much p**ssure on her in the past that she understood how difficult it was to be on bad terms with one’s mother-in-law.

“Hurry, recover and get back to work…”

Of course, this was also the first time that Lisa heard about Emma’s plan to leave Superstar Media back in their hands. But, after what happened with Han Xiuche, Lisa was still traumatized by the idea of training newcomers again…

…

2 days later, the annual Sky Honor Awards Ceremony was held. Like previous years, it was a star-studded event.

All the celebrities turned up in their battle gear, hoping to get the most attention. But, just like last time, Emma was not interested in what she wore.

However, as the hottest celebrity around, she was, of course, destined to be surrounded by reporters no matter what she wore. Even so, she still felt she was past the age of fighting for the limelight with other female celebrities.

After the experience at the film festival, Lisa also learned that there was no reason to spend her time stressing on an outfit for Emma. After all, she no longer needed to attract anyone’s attention.

In the end, Emma carefully prepared for the awards ceremony, completely unaware that Eric was preparing a present for her.

However, she would have never imagined that before this present, she would have to first suffer another scare.

This involved a phone call from Xiner the night before the awards ceremony, “Emma…”

“What’s wrong? Has Craig’s lies been revealed?” Emma subconsciously assumed it had something to do with this particular matter. But, Xiner shook her head.

“I’m pregnant…” Xiner said in a dull tone.

“That’s good news, what’s with your tone? Why do you sound so dep**ssed?”

“My mother-in-law insists that I have an abortion because she believes that Donald has been taking medicine for his dep**ssion and it will affect the baby. So, she told me that I can’t have it.”

“…”

This was a pit that Craig dug himself!

“How did Craig react?”

“He, of course, wants me to keep it. Although my mother-in-law hasn’t complained too much, I’m sure she thinks I’m being very childish in her eyes,” Xiner replied uncomfortably. “Actually, I can endure it. I simply want someone to vent to.”

“Xiner, marriage is bet**en two people. Craig isn’t young anymore, this is something he needs to hold responsibilty for, you shouldn’t endure it on your own,” Emma said firmly. “You guys need to resolve this as soon as possible, otherwise, it will only get worse. When that time comes, it’s going to be even harder to resolve.”

“I understand…”

“No you don’t,” Emma thought quietly to herself. Even though she was concerned about Xiner, she knew it wasn’t right to place judgment on someone else’s life.

So, apart from comforting Xiner, what else could she do?

After Eric returned home, he saw Emma sitting on the sofa in a daze. Out of concern for his wife, he asked, “Did something happen?”

Emma explained Xiner’s situation to Eric and exp**ssed her disdain towards Craig.

After hearing Emma’s explanation, Eric laughed, “Do you feel that Craig can’t protect Xiner?”

“At least, nothing he’s done so far, has given me the reason to believe in him…” Emma shrugged.

“Don’t worry, OK?”

“I can’t worry even if I want to,” Emma said before she stood up helplessly and headed to the bathroom to fill the bath for Eric.

At this time, Eric pulled out his phone and gave Craig a phone call, “Can you get your family matters in order? Do you need me to teach you?”

“Why are you calling in the middle of the night to lecture me?”

“The facade you’ve been putting up has made it difficult for your wife to have a proper pregnancy. She’s already called my wife to vent. What right do you have to make my wife worry about your matters?” Eric asked. “Do you need me to personally deal with auntie for you?”

Craig was furious!

It was bad enough that his wife didn’t speak to him when she was unhappy, Eric was even accusing him of bothering Emma!

Worst of all, he couldn’t say half a word in retaliation because he had no justification for himself!

With this thought, Craig put down his phone and returned to his bedroom. When he saw Xiner laying in bed, his heart began to ache.

She kept telling him that everything was OK when she was actually upset by what was happening, yet he had no idea and made things so difficult for her.

He had to find an opportunity to resolve the matter.

So, while it was still night, Craig gave his father a phone call.

“Dad, do you have time tomorrow morning? Let’s have some tea together.”

“You little rascal, have you done something wrong?”

“You’ll know when you see me tomorrow,” Craig said before he hung up the phone. At that moment, there was nothing more important than getting rid of his wife’s worries.

Craig arrived early the next morning to have tea with his father.

Father Bei was waiting in the garden. As he prepared a pot of tea, he looked at his son and smiled, “It’s rare for you to think of your father.”

“Craig put on his coat and sat down on a stone chair, disregarding the light snow that fell around him as he picked up a hot cup of tea, “Father, I came here today to confess to something.”

“Is this the attitude you use to confess?” Father Bei asked as he glared at his son and took a sip from his cup of tea, “Speak, what’s the matter?”

“Actually, I was never sick,” Craig said straightforwardly.

As soon as Father Bei heard this, he slammed his fist on the stone table and frowned at Craig, “I dare you to say that again.”

“I said I’m not sick!” Craig repeated, “I put on an act so you guys would allow me to marry Xiner.”

“Since you already created the lie, why didn’t you go through with it? Why are you suddenly admitting to it?”

“Xiner’s pregnant and mom’s forcing her to have an abortion because she thinks I’ve been taking antidep**ssants that may be bad for the baby. Actually, both the baby and Xiner are fine,” Craig replied in seriousness. “That’s why I need her to stop forcing Xiner.”

Father Bei humped. His hands were already trembling, but the thought of being lied to was both funny and infuriating.

He knew that this was indeed something that Craig would do.

“If Xiner didn’t fall pregnant, were you planning to never explain yourself?” Father Bei asked as he lowered his head and moved in closer to Craig.

“Yes,” Craig replied honestly.

“What did you take us for? Huh?” Father Bei continued to ask Craig. “Both of us were truly worried about your health. Yet, what happened in the end? Were you toying with us? Was it fun?”

“Craig, you’re already 30-something-years-old. Why can’t you be reliable like Eric and consider the consequences before doing anything?”

“Did you think that your life belongs only to you, so we have no right to interfere?”

Father Bei was so angry that his entire body was trembling. In response, Craig subconsciously offered his father a hand…

“Don’t touch me. I can’t call the shots, go speak to your mother.”
