Yun Shishi replied, “I’m not a big star. I only entered this industry out of my love for acting.”
Jing Qi was rather moved to hear this.
She had heard that celebrities were good at putting on airs and acting haughty. After all, they were always in the limelight. They had the love of their fans, and were always receiving flowers and applause, their annual income were in the tens of millions. Even people like Gu Xingze earned hundreds of millions every year.
Hence, these celebrities were definitely a step up from the ordinary folks.
When she first met Yun Shishi, she naturally felt uneasy and at a loss. At the same time, she felt a little inferior and looked up to the woman.
However, Yun Shishi’s easygoing attitude surprised and touched her.
She did not put on any airs at all!
She was not being hypocritical when she claimed that she was not a superstar. She simply felt that she was just an ordinary person.
“You’re different from the other celebrities!”
Jing Qi smiled. “You’re so famous, yet when you talk to me, you don’t put on any airs!”
As she said this, she walked over and asked with concern, “I wanted to ask earlier on, are your eyes… injured? You look as though you… can’t see anything?”
Yun Shishi calmly replied, “Yes. My eyes are injured and I can’t see anything.”
“…Is that so?”
Jing Qi knitted her brows in confusion. She was a meticulous person and a thought suddenly struck her. She asked in an odd tone, “Aren’t you Gu Xingze’s friend? Then… when he donated his corneas, you could have accepted them and undergone a transplant operation!”
Yun Shishi kept her silence for a long while.
Jing Qi was sensitively cautious as she asked, “Am I being nosy? I’m sorry… I’m a boorish person who may say inappropriate things! Sometimes, I mean it to be a word of concern, but it comes out sounding all wrong. If it’s a little annoying, I hope you don’t take it to heart! If I’m being nosy, I will stop asking.”
“Not at all…”
Yun Shishi calmly continued, “I can’t undergo surgery now because… I’m pregnant. If I undergo surgery, it won’t be good for the fetus. I want to protect the child, so we’re putting aside the matter of my eyes till later.”
“oh, I see…”
So that was why!
She thought to herself, this pretty superstar must be a close friend of Gu Xingze!
That was because she noticed that when Yun Shishi was carrying the child, the look in her eyes was not simply fondness, but there was a sort of pity, pain, and even longing in her expression.
Obviously she had lost her sight, but it seemed as if she could see something, through the child!
Yun Shishi held Jing Yang in her arms lovingly, but Jing Qi knew that the longing and heartache on her face was not because of her fondnesss for the child.
She did not know if this was a form of entrustment,
through which she placed her longing for Gu Xingze on this child.
Jing Qi came back to her senses and smiled. “Congratulations! You’re going to be a mother!”
Yun Shishi smiled. “Thank you.”
She suddenly turned her head and caressed the little fellow’s face. She could not hide the regret in her expression. “What a pity I’ve lost my sight. I would love to see what the little fellow looks like otherwise.”
“In the future, when your eyes have recovered and the little guy grows up, I’ll definitely bring him to you and you can take a good look then.”
Jing Qi did not have a glib tongue, but she spoke her mind. She had never learned how to be tactful, but she had always gone straight to the point.
