When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Chapter 104: The 60s Arts Troupe’s Top Star (43)

Xia Zhaoyun nodded. "Saying she’d be eaten alive is an exaggeration, but she definitely won’t be able to stay on that stage for long."

She chuckled, stroking the fluffy heads of the two little ones, who were listening intently with wide eyes. "Ruyuan, Ruyi, you must remember that those who set out to harm others ultimately harm themselves. We should never have the heart to hurt anyone, but we must also guard against others trying to hurt us."

The little ones, only half-understanding, still nodded solemnly to show they had committed it to memory.

After sending the children out to play in the yard, Xia Zhaoyun pursed her lips and looked at He Qingran. "Sis, what’s going on with you and Brother Kun?"

Huo Tianhao was rushing to hand off his out-of-town assignments so they could be together for the long haul, so he hadn’t made it back in time to go to the play with her.

Besides, Xia Zhaoyun wasn’t particularly interested in that sort of thing, so she just gave the tickets to the two young ladies from Group Three.

She had taken her two kids out on the town for the day, tactfully avoiding being a third wheel for He Qingran.

But she’d been so busy lately that she hadn’t followed up on how things were progressing between the two of them.

At the mention of it, a rare blush crept onto He Qingran’s fair, pretty face. "It’s... you know."

"But what about you and Little Hero Huo? You two have your marriage certificate, but you’ve only met a handful of times. Aren’t you afraid someone will take advantage of his absence?"

Xia Zhaoyun smiled, her lips pursed. "If he’s mine, he won’t leave, no matter who schemes against us or covets him. If he’s not, I couldn’t keep him even if I begged and screamed."

"Sis, don’t try to change the subject. We were talking about you, so don’t drag me into this."

"Tomorrow’s the weekend, and I have a performance. Do you have any plans? I need to know so I can arrange for someone to watch the kids."

He Qingran shot her a playful glare. "You don’t have to. Um... Brother Kun is coming to watch your performance tomorrow, too. He said we should all get a meal together after you’re finished."

Xia Zhaoyun said nothing, simply looking at her with a raised eyebrow.

He Qingran grew a little bashful and fidgeted. "We just... went through the whole blind date process. We have good feelings for each other, and we’ve told our families."

"I make my own decisions when it comes to my life, so I’m having my younger brother come tomorrow, too. We’ll all eat together. It’ll count as Brother Kun meeting my family."
