Master, I Need Charging

On the contrary, the scene caused by Shen Xinran only reminded Chen Yuheng of one thing.

——The program system in robots made them extremely direct in answering questions posed by humans. They would never lie or deceive another.

Therefore, no matter how similar Gu Anbao looked to a real human, the moment the Old Master was to ask her who she was, she would respond with the factory serial number. That would… definitely expose them!

All of his hard work up till now would be gone like running water.

Who knew that preparing nursing care for a weak old man with a weird temperament would be so difficult!

Every single nurse, maid, and nanny he employed had been chased away by the Old Master. Only Aunt Xu who cooked for him managed to survive the disaster. The reason for that was because she was crippled, and the Old Master was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to find another job. Therefore, he didn’t land the heavy hand on her…

Actually, he could understand where the Old Master was coming from. Half of the elderly’s life had been tough and having a bunch of people waiting on him only made him feel uncomfortable and he was not used to it. However… With the Old Master being at an old age and with ailments popping up one after another, Chen Yuheng was not able to personally take care of him himself as he was constantly out working for long periods of time. It was very normal to hire workers to care for the Old Master and fulfill his filial duties. He never thought that it would end up being so tough…

He couldn’t just count on Aunt Xu alone, right? Aunt Xu was lame. If anything were to happen, she wouldn’t even be able to move conveniently herself, how could she take care of the Old Master?

The doctor said that the Old Master’s blood pressure was high. Therefore, he shouldn’t get anxious, angry or be incited… They had to follow along with him… Follow… along… with…

That was how he got the idea of getting a caregiver-robot. This time, she wasn’t chased out, but the results… were not very positive. The Old Master was against new technology. He did most things by himself, and the robot became a decorative display. The only reason he didn’t throw it away was that the Old Master knew that it was extremely expensive… Thus, it would be a waste to toss it out.

Chen Yuheng stared at Gu Anbao with his dark, deep-set eyes, casting fear into her heart.

Her tall height, natural reactions, coordinated movements, and independent actions were very good. If he could get rid of her blushing issue, everything would be perfect.

The doorbell rang again——

This time, it really was the take-out.

…

Shen Xinran finally returned to the set. Her assistant had been panicking in the dressing room. The moment she saw that Shen Xinran was back, her face lit up as she rushed over to meet her!

“Sister Xinran! You are finally back! The director has been anxiously waiting for you!”

She sat down frustratedly and took off her sunglasses and mask. “What’s the urgency? Hurry and get me some sushi, I am starving.”

The assistant was taken aback. “Ah?… Sister Xinran, you haven’t eaten?” Didn’t she sneak out to eat because she said that the production team’s packed lunches were inedible? They started work at one o’clock and it was already two, yet she still hadn’t eaten? Where did you go and what did you do then?

Shen Xinran rolled her eyes. “Why are you still standing here spouting nonsense? Just go quickly and buy it as I told you to! I only eat Qing Helou’s sushi, so don’t get it wrong. Quickly, go…”

Her assistant nodded her head and dashed out of the room with her bag.

When she opened the door, she saw the two other young assistants walking in. The assistant waved her hands as she gave out instructions. “Hurry and get ready. I am heading out to get sushi. Both of you, get Sister Xinran’s hair done. Is the costume prepared? Don’t just stand around dumbly! Quick, quick, quick!”

In the next moment, the make-up room was bustling with make-up, hair, and costumes…

When Yu Qinglan entered the room, Shen Xinran was losing her temper at one of the assistants——

“I asked you to make me a beverage, why did you make milk tea! How can I drink such a thing? Do you know that it creates internal heat? Did you not see the pimple on my forehead? You put powder on me every day and you didn’t see it? Do you want me to have a face full of pimples? Take it away! So frustrating!”

Feeling a tug on her scalp, Shen Xinran became even more furious. She yelled at the hairstylist standing behind her, “Was I talking about you? Why are you trembling when I was scolding her! Do you know how to do this, or not? If you don’t, get lost!”

As the two embarrassed assistants saw that Yu Qinglan had arrived, they smiled reluctantly and greeted her, “Auntie.”

“… Auntie is here.”

Yu Qinglan smiled and said gently, “It’s been hard on you all. Xinran gets anxious easily. Don’t take it to heart.”

Shen Xinran raised her gaze and hurriedly shouted, “Mom!”

Yu Qinglan walked over. The workers around them hurriedly brought her a chair. Yu Qinglan sat down and looked at the make-up on Shen Xinran’s face. Nodding her head, she said, “Your complexion is good. The pimple on your forehead can be easily covered by your bangs. Don’t get angry so easily, and eat less spicy food as well…”

Shen Xinran glanced at the assistant beside her and grumbled, “It’s because of them that I get angry… Each one of them is so clumsy and they can’t do anything right. I should just buy a robot assistant instead.”

Yu Qinglan smiled. “What kind of silly words are those? How can a robot be as good as a human? A robot is controlled by a program. It’s rigid and not accommodative at all. The most it could do is just some simple household chores.”

Shen Xinran pouted and still seemed very unhappy.

Yu Qinglan sighed and smiled. “Alright, if you would like one, I will have your brother send one over. Your brother’s company has every kind of robot. Is this worth getting angry over?”

Shen Xinran’s eyes sparkled at that. She said in high spirits, “Mom, I went to brother’s house today! He has a robot in his house, and it looks a lot like a real human! She is extremely pretty!”

Yu Qinglan’s expression turned a little rigid. “… You went to find Yuheng again?”

“Yeah,” Shen Xinran answered breezily, “Who asked him not to pick up my calls? I wanted to look for him but I couldn’t find him in his company, so of course, I went to his house.”

“Don’t be so rash next time…” Yu Qinglan said a little exasperatedly, “He hates to be disturbed by others… Did you get another scolding again?”

Shen Xinran smiled happily. “It’s alright, I am used to it! Although he has a bad temper, he is a very nice person, like me! I like to lose my temper too, don’t I?”

Yu Qinglan nodded her head. “Yes, you two have equally bad tempers!”

Shen Xinran laughed happily. Her delicate features were bright and beautiful, and her skin was fair and tender. She was gorgeous like a blooming flower.

When Shen Xinran looked at her beautiful and young face, she couldn’t help but be distracted as she recalled the time when she had just married into the Shen family… Shen Xinran was just three years old then. Now, she was all grown up. She was talented and beautiful, like a perfect test score. But no one knew just how much Yu Qinglan had had to endure these past years to hand in this perfect score sheet…

Yu Qinglan shook her head gently as she maintained an appropriate smile on her face. She shouldn’t think about it any longer… Now that she had children, a loving husband, and a harmonious family, she didn’t want to think about these unbearable past memories…

But deep down in her heart, she still had a little regret. She was regretful that she was quietly losing her relationship with her son.

Xinran’s assistant carefully pushed open the door, carrying the newly bought sushi in her hands.

Shen Xinran furrowed her eyebrows. “Quickly bring it over, stop dilly-dallying.”

When Yu Qinglan saw that she couldn’t help but comment, “Why are you eating sushi again? It’s too cooling and not good for your stomach…”

Shen Xinran replied helplessly, “I don’t have a choice. Hot soup and noodles would just ruin my make-up…”

Her assistant brought over the sushi and opened the box. As she saw Shen Xinran’s expression, she stammered, “Sister Xinran… Just now, um… The director said that we will need to re-shoot the scene we did yesterday.”

“Which scene yesterday?” Shen Xinran furrowed her eyebrows and thought about it, before continuing, “the scene where I am being saved from a snake cave? Wasn’t it the stand-in who acted in that scene? If he wants to reshoot it, then reshoot it.”

Her assistant’s facial expression turned sour. “The substitute is injured due to a snake bite…”
