After Punching Her Way Through The Entertainment Industry 2 - Chapter 1

Many actors, when they reach the peak of their careers, choose to prioritize their work. They do not consider family, and some even hide their relationships.

Yet there just happened to be one person who, while her career was flourishing, not only announced her relationship, but got married and had a child!

And when the child was born, she was only twenty-two years old.

Meng Shi, currently the brightest star in the entertainment industry, and to this day, the youngest Film Queen.

Her acting skills went without saying. She was also extremely dedicated, humble, friendly, approachable, and most importantly, very good at fighting.

She debuted as a boxer, then in just two short years, rapidly rose to fame and became a famous actress known in every household.

When mentioning her, one naturally had to mention her lover as well.

When Yan Qing was young, she was also a Film Queen famous throughout the industry. At the peak of her career, she changed professions and became a director. To this day, her reputation was still resounding, and in the entertainment circle, her connections were also very good.

Meng Shi was seventeen years younger than Yan Qing. When the two announced their relationship, countless melon-eating onlookers were shocked. At that time, Meng Shi used a uniquely designed set of photos to confess to her goddess, allowing countless people to see her sincerity. The voices of blessing far outweighed the voices of controversy.

After the two went public, Meng Shi worked extremely hard. The box office of every movie she starred in rose higher than the last, securing her position as the box office queen. Meanwhile, Yan Qing stayed at home and focused on preparing for pregnancy.

After a full two years, under the efforts and anticipation of both of them, this little princess finally arrived.

The process in between had naturally been incomparably painful. Yan Qing had even miscarried once and nearly fallen into depression. Fortunately, with Meng Shi’s companionship and comfort, they finally welcomed this little brat.

At that time, all the major media outlets rushed to report it. Meng Shi’s manager, Fang Yu, even took a photo of Meng Shi half-kneeling in front of the glass window, high-fiving the child in the incubator from across the glass, and posted it online.

Netizens all sent their blessings one after another, saying outright that they would wait for Little Ah Shi General to grow up! They even shouted at Meng Shi: If I can’t be your woman in this life, then I’ll be your son-in-law!!!

…

The child took Meng Shi’s surname, with the single-character given name Qi. This character had been Meng Shi’s name in her previous life. In her previous life, she had been born into the imperial family and ranked tenth. However, because her mother had always called her Ah Shi, Ah Shi, over time, even she herself had forgotten her original name. On top of that, when she was ten, her mother passed away, and she left the capital to go far away to the military camp. She had no attachment at all to that imperial family with no family affection, and cared even less about her name.

This time, looking at her own child was like looking at herself as a child, and she could not help remembering some things from her previous life. After thinking it over, she decided she might as well use this character as the child’s name.

…

Little Meng Qi had been born prematurely, weighing only three jin. She was very small. She stayed in the incubator for more than ten days before she was finally placed in her mothers’ arms. The moment the two of them held her, it was as if they were holding up the entire world. In that instant, they felt that everything had been worth it.

Meng Shi posted the first family photo of the three of them on Weibo. In the photo, Yan Qing held the child and looked at the little one in her arms with eyes full of love. Meng Shi stood beside her, one arm around Yan Qing and one hand stroking their daughter. Her forehead rested against Yan Qing’s as she gave her a deep kiss.

Netizens cried out that they had truly turned life into the shape of a fairy tale!

So happy it made people envious!

…

However.

Fairy tales were all lies…

The consequence of letting two new mothers take care of a baby was: utter chaos! Changing one diaper took two people and four hands, yet they still made such a mess that it was simply unbearable to look at.

On top of that, perhaps because she had been born prematurely, the baby’s constitution was very weak. Less than a month after being discharged and brought home, she had fevers twice. Watching her cry and fuss because she felt unwell made both of them ache terribly.

Moreover, Meng Shi had also ended up with a black-hearted boss. Just after the child’s full-month banquet, Meng Shi was forcefully dragged back to work. The family was separated more often than together. Meng Shi still clearly remembered that before the child turned two, she had only gone home four times, and that included two New Year holidays. It truly could not be any more heartbreaking.

Children at this age changed almost every day. They grew quickly. And in these two years, Meng Shi had gone home so rarely that the child basically did not recognize her anymore. Previously, when Meng Shi came home, the baby would not even let her enter the door. No matter how Meng Shi coaxed and tricked her, the baby would not even look at her once. Meng Shi’s heart was completely wounded by this.

However, this year was much better. This year, she had accepted two projects that filmed in Xiyuan, not far from home. Basically, whenever she was not very busy, she would run home. This year, the child had also grown much closer to her.

No, look—Meng Shi had just wrapped work and returned home today. By the time she arrived, it was already past one in the morning. After quickly washing up and changing into pajamas in the living room, she quietly pushed open the bedroom door and slipped inside.

The little one did not like sleeping in her own cradle. She only loved sticking to Yan Qing when she slept. Right now, she was lying on the big bed, tucked in Yan Qing’s arms, fast asleep.

Seeing the mother and daughter sleeping so sweetly, Meng Shi quickly and carefully climbed onto the bed and slipped under the blanket. She kissed each of them once, then looked at the little one. Her sleeping face was flushed red, her lashes very long, with a tiny nose and tiny mouth. She was looking more and more like Meng Shi, but her fair, tender skin had followed Yan Qing. She had really grown quite well.

This little brat had, in the blink of an eye, nearly reached two and a half years old. She could already call them Mama. Now, every day, she bounced around on the floor, moving those two short little legs, so adorable it was unbearable. Her appetite was all right, and she had been raised fairly well. It was just that her resistance was a little poor. Whenever the weather changed or seasons shifted, she would first get a small illness, which really gave people headaches.

Meng Shi stared at the little one for a while, then moved a little closer to the two of them. She raised a hand and placed it on Yan Qing’s waist, just enough to circle the little one in the middle. Satisfied, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

However, it seemed she had not slept for very long when the little one burrowed into Meng Shi’s arms. Meng Shi reached out and held the little one, lifted her eyelids, and glanced at her. This child’s two big eyes were spinning around.

“You’re awake?”

Hearing her voice, the little one raised her head and looked at her, then quickly closed her eyes again and pretended to sleep.

Meng Shi had not woken up at all. Seeing that the little one was asleep, she also closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

As a result, this little one secretly opened her eyes again. She looked at Meng Shi, then looked at Yan Qing. Seeing that both of them were asleep, she used her chubby little paw to pat her own chest, as if comforting herself.

After that, she lifted those two short little legs and placed them on the two of them separately. Her little paw touched her own head, and she began spacing out.

When she had been even smaller, she would always touch her own head with one paw and space out, as if she were thinking about something. Watching this always made Meng Shi worry whether she, like Meng Shi, had also been reborn or transmigrated. She was barely a tiny thing, yet she already knew how to think by herself.

But aside from this point, her other behavior was not much different from other children, which made Meng Shi relax. Because of this, the child’s baby name became Xiaodai.

Speaking of Xiaodai, after spacing out by herself for a while, she lowered her head and looked under the blanket. She wriggled and sat up, then reached out and touched the bed.

Emmm. Wet.

She pouted her little mouth, wearing the expression of someone who had done something wrong and was very afraid of being scolded.

Like a tiny adult, she looked left and right. In the end, her gaze fixed on Meng Shi.

Meng Shi was sleeping in a daze when she felt this little one wriggling around very restlessly. Not only did Xiaodai climb over her, she kept burrowing against her from behind.

Helpless, Meng Shi moved closer to Yan Qing, leaving more than half the bed for the little one to toss around on.

However, the moment she moved to the spot where Xiaodai had been lying earlier, she felt that something was not quite right. It was very damp beneath her. She reached out and touched it. It was still warm.

Meng Shi froze for a moment, then suddenly woke up. She directly lifted the blanket and flipped over to sit up.

“What’s wrong?”

Her sudden movement startled Yan Qing awake as well, and she quickly asked.

However, when Yan Qing saw the large wet patch between Meng Shi’s legs, she looked completely confused.

“You… wet the bed?”

Clearly, Yan Qing was still not fully awake.

“…! How could it possibly be me!”

Meng Shi did not know whether to laugh or cry!

The two of them turned their heads together toward a certain little brat. They just happened to see that little one, bare-bottomed, climbing over mountains and ridges toward her cradle. She was gripping the side of the cradle, but the cradle was too high, and her short little legs could not climb in. The two of them caught her red-handed.

“Meng Xiaodai!”

The two spoke in unison, their tone extremely helpless.

Hearing this, Xiaodai slowly turned her head and looked at Meng Shi. She stuck out her tiny tongue and grinned, then moved her two short little legs, da-da-da, around Meng Shi and ran straight toward Yan Qing. She buried her little head in Yan Qing’s arms and refused to come out.

“You, ah, you. If you keep wetting the bed like this, our family won’t have any bedsheets left to use.”

Yan Qing was also very helpless. She tapped Xiaodai’s tiny nose and scolded with a smile.

But there was nothing they could do. The little one’s skin was too delicate. She would even get rashes from wearing diapers. If they used cloth diapers, she felt uncomfortable. So they could only indulge her like this and let her run free.

“Change out of your clothes. I’ll go wash them for you. I’ll also give this little thing a bath and clean her up.”

As Yan Qing spoke, she was about to hand Xiaodai to Meng Shi.

“Ah, mm~ No…”

The little cub waved her small hands and whimpered in a milky voice, clinging to Yan Qing’s neck and refusing to let go.

“Ma… ah Mama, Mama…”

She rubbed against Yan Qing’s cheek and acted spoiled.

“Tsk. So you only remember who I am when you want me to take the blame for you, is that it?”

Meng Shi pretended to be angry. She got up and made a cup of formula, tested the temperature, then held it in her hand and shook it.

The moment the little one saw it, she happily opened her small hands and ran over. Hugging the bottle, she drank all by herself.

Meng Shi carried her into the bathroom, filled the tub with hot water, tested the temperature, then stripped the little one bare and tossed her into the bathtub.

She scooped up water with her palm and splashed it onto the little one, making the little one giggle nonstop. However, the consequence was that the little one played too happily. Her two small hands slapped the water, pa-pa-pa, and the splashing water soaked all of Meng Shi’s clothes.

Meng Shi was not angry. On the contrary, she really liked this kind of interaction with her child. Her warm, large hand gently stroked the child’s tiny body, lightly touching that delicate, soft, smooth skin. She enjoyed it very much.

“Xiaodai? Look at me for a moment, all right?”

Meng Shi coaxed softly. This little thing had not properly looked at her once since opening her eyes today.

However, the little one gave her no face at all and continued playing with the milk bottle.

“Xiaodai~ Look at Mama~”

“This one is mad at you,” Yan Qing said, standing at the door and glancing in.

“Mm? Why?”

Meng Shi froze. When she had come back last week, this child had still played with her very well.

“When you left last time, didn’t you tell her you’d come back tomorrow?”

“Ah, right…”

Meng Shi thought about it. The last time she left had been a week ago. At that time, the little one had wrapped her arms around Meng Shi’s neck and refused to let go. After Meng Shi talked, coaxed, and tricked her in every possible way, she had indeed said, “I’ll come back tomorrow and play with you.”

Eh?

Could it be that Xiaodai had remembered that this whole time?

Thinking this, Meng Shi quickly pulled the little one into her arms, kissed her tiny nose, and apologized to her.

This child had quite a temper.

Who did she take after?
