In the end, the professional version by the voice actress was still chosen. However, Gu Yuwu saved Lin Xiaowan’s version as well, thinking about releasing it as a bonus when the time came.
Lin Xiaowan said, puzzled, “These things are usually related to the main characters. 1 only have a few minutes of screen time. There’s no need to do this, right?”
“This is your first time acting, and if I’m not mistaken, this will also be the only time, right? You can keep it as a souvenir. 1’11 edit it before sending it to you. You can listen to it when you’re old…”
Lin Xiaowan stroked her chin. She felt that Gu Yuwu’s words made sense.
The lunar new year was fast approaching.
The Huo family planned to officially announce Huo Zheng’s engagement to their social circles. However, they respected Lin Xiaowan’s opinion and did not hold a public engagement ceremony.
However, Huo Zheng felt that it was not that good if there was no news about the engagement at all. After all, who knew if people who were not afraid of death would create rumors? As such, he posted a picture using his personal social media account.
Usually, Huo Zheng’s social media account was managed by the company. This was also the first time he had posted something unrelated to the company.
The photo only showed two hands intertwined. The morning sunlight shone through the gap between the curtains into the dimly lit room. Lin Xiaowan was still sleeping in Huo Zheng’s arms. He had held her hand and deliberately chosen an angle that showed their rings before taking a photo.
Although he respected her opinion and did not make a big deal out of the engagement, he felt like he had to make some sort of announcement to the outside world that she was now his. He could not just cover everything up.
Once the photo was posted, it became a hot topic immediately. Moreover, the comments on this topic were a little… inappropriate.
Huo Zheng rarely appeared in public events so he rarely made the headlines. Unless it was business-related, he usually maintained a low profile.
However, his post this time generated a lot of interest because not long ago the netizens were already discussing this topic. This was all thanks to the meteor shower incident when Lin Xiaowan’s social media was exposed after Xiao Ming, a popular astronomy influencer, reposted her post.
Now that so many people knew that Lin Xiaowan was the wife of the president of the Huo Corporation, it was only natural that Huo Zheng’s post would cause a commotion. After all, the post was also reposted by the Huo Corporation’s official account.
The most ridiculous thing was that someone zoomed in on the photo, adjusting the exposure of the photo and such, to have a better look. After that, the person quickly left a comment, revealing that a hickey could be seen on Lin Xiaowan’s wrist. Moreover, judging from the color, it seemed new.
After that, the discussion in the comment section became even livelier. Even the number of reposts went up greatly.
When Huo Zheng found out about this matter, his expression darkened immediately. He quickly ordered for the photo to be deleted. Alas, it was useless to delete now. It had already spread on the Internet.
Lin Xiaowan did not think much of this matter. She laughed and said, “It’s just a small matter. Deleting it is only going to make people talk about it more and make them think that something happened.”
She had also seen the discussion online. She was amazed by the netizen’s rich imagination and ability to come up with stories.
Huo Zheng narrowed his eyes as he held her in his arms. He said in a low voice, “But something did happen.”
Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes when she heard this.
Huo Zheng had taken the photo the day after they were engaged. It was impossible that nothing happened the night of the engagement. At that time, he had said something that made her feel embarrassed so she quickly covered his mouth. Unexpectedly, he smiled and shamelessly left a hickey on her wrist.
Finally, Lin Xiaowan said, “In any case, this is not my fault.”
Huo Zheng was quite traditional in certain aspects. It was not surprising that he was upset that his mistake had caused such a commotion. The bedroom was dark, only faintly lit. He was so focused on finding a good angle that he did not pay attention to anything else.
Huo Zheng leaned down and kissed Lin Xiaowan before he said teasingly in a low voice, “It’s your fault.”
After the photo was deleted, the discussion continued for a while. There were also conspiracy theories about the drama of the rich and powerful, but no one paid attention to them. All the malicious comments were also quickly dealt with.
In a blink of an eye, it was already close to the lunar new year. According to Shengjing’s customs, this was the beginning of the new year. It was also the time when families reunite.
After waking up in the morning, Lin Xiaowan packed up before she brought Little Paste back to the old residence. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
The Huo family’s old residence was big. It was not difficult to find a spacious room for Little Chestnut there. She had previously informed the housekeeper that she would be bringing Little Chestnut so a room had already been prepared for Little Chestnut.
Previously, Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao had gone abroad for a winter camp after their vacation. They had just returned the day for the lunar new year. When the two little children met Little Chestnut for the first time, they were extremely excited and clamored to play with it.
Little Chestnut had always been reserved and introverted. Moreover, this was also the first time it met the two children. It could not withstand the children’s enthusiasm and quickly meowed, pouncing into Lin Xiaowan’s arms and burying its head in her arms like a frightened child.
Lin Xiaowan gave the children cat treats as she said, “I’ll give you her favorite treat. She’s very easy to bribe with food. Once she’s gotten familiar with you, you’ll be able to play with her.”
Lin Xiaowan looked down at the cat in her arms. She was not too worried since it seemed to be in a good state.
Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao were very experienced in dealing with small animals. They lay on the ground, looking like caterpillars as they tried to bribe Little Chestnut with food. After a while, when Little Chestnut looked more comfortable, they tried to touch its fur and its little paws with their small hands.
Huo Dabao, who was touching Little Chestnut’s paw, asked curiously, “Aunt, Little Chestnut is so big. What kind of cat is she? I have never seen such a huge cat…”
“It’s just a stray cat. As for its size…. Maybe it’s just growing?” Lin Xiaowan said, looking uncertain when she spoke.
In fact, she was also confused about Little Chestnut’s size. Little Chestnut’s mother’s size was normal. In fact, after a bath, it even looked a little small.
Little Chestnut had enough exercise, and its diet was also just right. A physical examination also showed that there was nothing wrong with its health. It was not fat, but its size was really quite big. At that time, it was already almost twice the size of its mother.
In the end, Lin Xiaowan, who was puzzled, brought Little Chestnut to the Animal Rescue Association to ask about the growth of Little Chestnut’s siblings..
