Priceless Baby's Super Daddy Chapter 504 - A Huge Sacrifice

Chapter 504: A Huge Sacrifice

Xu Xiyan and Xiao Ke leapt into action: they helped Qi Liya change into a beautiful dress, and then put some light makeup on her face.

With their help, Qi Liya was restored to her former beauty: she was once again a resplendent G.o.ddess.

Qi Liya held the flower bouquet in her hand as she walked out of the hospital with Huang Guoqiang beside her. Xu Xiyan and Xiao Ke followed behind them.

The four of them had just exited the hospital when suddenly, they found themselves surrounded by reporters. The reporters pointed their cameras at Qi Liya and Huang Guoqiang and snapped away.

Qi Liya had not expected to see so many reporters waiting outside the hospital. She suddenly panicked; she did not know what to do.

She automatically tried to move away from Huang Guoqiang to avoid spreading unnecessary gossip, but the director put his arm firmly around her shoulders and nonchalantly faced the reporter’s cameras.

He gave her a rea.s.suring look and whispered into her ear: “I asked them to come. I want them to be witness to our happiness.”

Qi Liya was so touched by his gesture she found herself unable to speak.

Back when she had been dating Peng Sicheng, Peng Sicheng had concealed their relations.h.i.+p in order to pursue his dream of being a director.

She would never forget how that had felt. She had become Peng Sicheng’s clandestine lover, his dirty little secret. That was when their romance began its downward spiral into disappointment and heartbreak.

Her love for him had eventually turned into overwhelming pain. She had been suffocated by the pressure.

Back then, she had not been able to figure out why Peng Sicheng was reluctant to make their relations.h.i.+p public.

Now she understood: Peng Sicheng had never loved her. He had loved only himself.

The reporters who had heard from Director Huang about the marriage proposal began to ask questions. “Director Huang, is it true that you proposed to Ms. Qi Liya? Did she say yes?”

Huang Guoqiang smiled as he raised Qi Liya’s hand to show the reporters their interlaced fingers—and the large diamond sparkling on Qi Liya’s ring finger.

The reporters were almost blinded by the s.h.i.+ny diamond.

Qi Liya’s fears were unfounded; the reporters did not start asking nasty questions. As soon as they saw that the marriage proposal had been a success, they showered the couple with their sincere blessings.

“Director Huang, congratulations on your successful marriage proposal!”

“When’s the wedding?”

“Will the wedding be held inside the country, or abroad?”

“Qi Liya, will you remain in s...o...b..z now that you’re married?”

Most of the reporters’ questions revolved around their marriage, and Huang Guoqiang took it upon himself to provide simple, concise answers.

Qi Liya stepped forward to answer the question about her career plans post-marriage. “Thank you for your blessings. I may take a break from acting once I’m done shooting ‘Red Sleeved Beauty.'”

Huang Guoqiang was shocked to hear that Qi Liya was actually considering putting her career on hold. He had not expected her to announce to the reporters that she would be taking a break from acting during such a successful point in her career.

He could not help but wonder if she was only taking a break from s...o...b..z because she was marrying him. It was a huge sacrifice.

It was almost unheard of for a successful star to willingly give up their career in order to concentrate on their marriage.

Huang Guoqiang was deeply touched. He pulled Qi Liya closer to him as he said to the reporters, “Whatever she decides, Liya has my full support. Even if she retires from acting, I’ll make enough money for the two of us.”

With that, news of Huang Guoqiang and Qi Liya’s romance and the director’s successful marriage proposal spread like wildfire. It made the headlines of every entertainment news site.

That night, Xu Xiyan hurried back to the set for “Root of Evil.” Just as she walked onto the set, she b.u.mped into the director, Peng Sicheng.

“Hey, Jing Xi, come here. I want to ask you something.”

Peng Sicheng had seen the news, and had spotted Jing Xi standing beside the happy couple in the news footage. He wanted to ask her what she knew about the whirlwind romance.

Xu Xiyan followed the director to the production meeting room. She asked curiously, “What is it, Director Peng?”
