Cui Cui was already used to Wei Xingzhou's constant picture-taking, even posing a few times.
Si Si, however, was nervous for the first time having her dad photograph her like this, her movements a little stiff.
After a while, with photos of both daughters taken, Wei Xingzhou looked at the pictures, then at his two daughters before him, and… the more he looked, the more he liked them. What to do?
Wei Xingzhou's eyes sparkled, a smile he couldn't suppress tugging at his lips.
"Um…" Wei Xingzhou approached with a fawning smile, looking cautiously at Cui Cui and Si Si.
Cui Cui narrowed her eyes, demanding, "What do you want this time?"
Wei Xingzhou chuckled, looking at Cui Cui, then at Si Si, and said happily, "Well, it's just… Cui Cui and Si Si look so beautiful in the ancient Earth era clothes, Dad likes them so much. Could Dad post your photos on the Star Net, just a little… a tiny bit… to show off a little?"
Cui Cui: "…"
Si Si's pupils widened slightly. She stared at her dad in shock. Did Dad just say… Cui Cui and her… so Dad meant that both she and Cui Cui could be posted online to show off?
Si Si had seen her dad interact with Cui Cui on the Star Net before. Dad was a big star and never low-key. She had always envied how much affection Dad showered on Cui Cui, how good Dad was to Cui Cui. Could she have this same goodness now?
Cui Cui glanced at Si Si, then looked away, saying, "If you want to post them, post them. What does it have to do with me?"
This was consent! Wei Xingzhou was overjoyed. He knew Cui Cui's personality too well. If Cui Cui hadn't agreed, she would have objected by now. Her not objecting and distancing herself meant agreement!
Unable to help himself, Wei Xingzhou rushed forward, scooped Cui Cui into his arms, and happily spun her around twice. He was ecstatic.
Cui Cui froze. This was the first time since their identities changed that Wei Xingzhou had hugged her so joyfully, as if… as if their identities hadn't been revealed yet.
Wei Xingzhou spun Cui Cui around several times before putting her down. Then he turned his attention to Si Si.
Si Si had just seen her dad spinning Cui Cui around. She was envious, and… couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Dad was so good to Cui Cui.
But Si Si hadn't expected that after a moment of jealousy, Dad would soon put Cui Cui down and turn to look at her…
Si Si's body stiffened involuntarily, suddenly nervous for no reason.
Wei Xingzhou walked over to Si Si, bent down to be at her height, looked at her, and asked expectantly, "Si Si, would you be willing to let Dad post your and Cui Cui's photos on the Star Net?"
Si Si became even more nervous. Her hands, resting by her sides, unconsciously gripped her little skirt.
Zhang Qiong also watched her daughter, knowing that Si Si had always craved her father's attention.
"I… I can," Si Si said nervously.
Wei Xingzhou suddenly laughed and swept Si Si into his arms, spinning her around happily, just as he had doted on Cui Cui.
Si Si's face instantly flushed crimson. She was completely stiff, her small hands instinctively clinging to her dad, unsure of what to do.
"Hahaha, my good girl agreed, both my good girls agreed! From now on, I have two good daughters, both super cute and super beautiful!!!" Wei Xingzhou exclaimed with immense joy.
Wei Xingzhou also spun Si Si around a few times before finally setting her down.
After landing, Si Si's cheeks were still flushed red, her heart pounding in her chest. She looked at her dad, then at herself, still disbelieving. Dad had just picked her up, just like he used to comfort Cui Cui, Dad had comforted her too.
Si Si's reaction was too nervous. Wei Xingzhou watched, feeling a pang of sadness. No matter what, she was his daughter.
Wei Xingzhou smiled, reached out, and pinched Si Si's cheek, asking with a smile, "Si Si, are you happy?"
Si Si finally reacted, quickly looking at her dad and nodding nervously, "Yes, I'm happy."
Wei Xingzhou smiled, lowered his head, and suddenly planted a kiss on Si Si's cheek.
Si Si was startled again. She instinctively recoiled, but quickly realized it was Dad kissing her. Her cheeks instantly turned as red as a cooked shrimp.
Wei Xingzhou looked at Cui Cui, noticing that her expression hadn't changed much. His good daughter should not be unhappy. His tense heart finally relaxed slightly, though his skill as a renowned actor allowed him to control his emotions well, not showing any difference in his demeanor to his two daughters.
"Haha, so Cui Cui and Si Si both agreed. Dad will post the photos now!" Wei Xingzhou said, feigning happiness as he looked at his two good daughters, carefully observing their expressions.
Cui Cui was long accustomed to Wei Xingzhou's antics and felt speechless.
Si Si was nervous, but also excited. Children at this age couldn't quite hide their emotions, and Wei Xingzhou saw it at a glance.
Wei Xingzhou smiled and opened his optical computer, inviting Cui Cui and Si Si to choose photos together.
Since he was going to post photos of his good daughters, the photos had to be approved by them. He couldn't just post any photo, what if his good daughters didn't like it?
This time, Wei Xingzhou approached Si Si first.
Si Si's heart sped up when she saw her dad approaching her first. She was very happy.
Lu Wanqing walked over calmly, smiling and saying to Wei Xingzhou, "Wei Xingzhou, send me a few photos too. I'll help Cui Cui pick some."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xingzhou knew Lu Wanqing was helping him out of a tight spot. Cui Cui was always sensitive, and he needed to take care of Si Si's emotions right now. If he always prioritized Cui Cui, Si Si's jealousy would eventually fester. She might feel that she could never measure up to her sister Cui Cui in her dad's heart, become unhappy, and eventually… might even do something to hurt Cui Cui.
Cui Cui was the daughter he cared about most. Si Si, whether he wanted to admit it or not, was his biological daughter. If his biological daughter, out of jealousy, were to scheme against and bully Cui Cui, and later even become lifelong enemies, Wei Xingzhou felt he wouldn't be able to bear it.
But he had attended to Si Si first. He was genuinely worried Cui Cui might be sad. Fortunately, Lu Wanqing was so smart and immediately stepped in.
Cui Cui loved her mother so much and wanted her mother. With Lu Wanqing comforting Cui Cui, Cui Cui would likely be much happier.
"Okay, I'll send them to you now," Wei Xingzhou said with a smile.
"Cui Cui is very beautiful. You can also take a few photos with Cui Cui, and post them together. It will surely be stunning!" Wei Xingzhou added happily.
Lu Wanqing nodded immediately, "Yes, I also want to take some photos for Cui Cui. They will definitely be very beautiful!"
Wei Xingzhou sent the photos he had just taken to Lu Wanqing.
After receiving the photos, Lu Wanqing turned to Cui Cui.
